LUNA ALEXIt was a few things that I had learned since I began living with Ryan. For one, he smelled amazing all the time, almost like the forest but in a good way. He snored really loudly, and despite it being quite cute it still managed to keep me up sometime during the night."You're staring." His eyes popped open."I was not." I lied and turned my head to look out the window."Right." He said sarcastically. I ignored his comment and quickly got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Afterwards, I went to my walk in closet as he repeated what I had just done in the bathroom."So what's your plans for today?" I yelled as I looked around for an outfit for work."I have training to go to, then maybe we can do lunch.""Sounds good. Don't forget we're going to Liz's house for dinner tonight.""Got it."I grabbed my clothes and stood in the bathroom doorway. "By the way, I have not told her me living here, it may sound normal to live with a guy you'v
After a few days of doing interviews, I had finally decided on a group of good employees who will be great assets to the restaurant. "Everybody this is Anna, she will be helping out in the kitchen.""Hi, guys." She waved shyly.Anna is a twenty-six-year-old she-wolf that is mated to a pack warrior in the pack. She had given birth to two beautiful boys and with them in school full time now she had plenty of time on her hands. Previously she had worked in the pack house preparing all the meal and had been trained by Linda, who had recommended her. She was the quiet type but her food made up for it."This is Susan, she is gonna be our new hostess."Susan was Melissa older cousin who had recently moved here to go to university at the local college. She was a bit clumsy but she was such a sweetheart. Plus I knew if I didn't hire her Melissa would be pissed at me and think that I was playing favoritisms, and that was a problem that I just didn't feel like dealing with."Nice to meet all of
LUNA ALEX "Ready?" Ryan asked me from the doorway of the bathroom.I looked in the bathroom mirror making sure that I was dressed appropriately. I was wearing a floral skater dress with a sweetheart neckline, and pink pumps. My hair was in its natural state and for makeup, I went with a dark smoky eye, and a light pink lip."You look fine." He said as he came up to me and kissed my cheek.I took one last look at myself. Since the moment I had opened my eyes this morning I felt the butterflies fluttering around in my stomach. I was so nervous of what the pack would think of me. I was human and they were wolves and just like Lily said, wolves liked to be with their own and in no way was I a werewolf. But with the mark that bared on my shoulder let me know that there was no turning back."Okay, let's go."Together we walked hand and hand down the stairs and to the backyard. There were tables set up everywhere, one of which had all the food on it. There were hundreds of people scattered
LUNA ALEX"I like this look on you." Ryan whistled appreciatively as I walked out of our bathroom. We had just finished mating for the umpteenth time, and I was wearing a pair of his clean boxers and one of his white button up shirts.It turns out that mating was the only way to get rid of the pain, it had been a couple of days and the pain that I felt was no more. Previously we hadn't had any major conversations about us mating but it really didn't matter as of now. I don't have any regret and plus we both loved each other and are destine to be together forever."Of course, you do." I playfully rolled my eyes. I climbed into bed and cuddled up next to him, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. "Can we watch the new season of Unbreakable?""Sure." He picked up the remote and turned on the TV, scrolling down until he found the Netflix app. Just as the show was beginning my phone began to ring. It had been off for the past few days, it wasn't until an hour ago when I
LUNA ALEX"What brings you here today, Alex?"I took a deep breath. "I'll like to get on birth control."After Ryan had told me about the rogue problem I had started to think about our future and how this war could affect us. In the moment of him telling me that I could possibly be pregnant it didn't sound like a bad idea. But since figuring out that I am not, I wanted to take some precautions so that I could stay that way.I had spent hours and hours on whether I should do this or not and I had finally decided that I should get on birth control. I didn't know what the outcome would be after the war and I wouldn't want to chance getting pregnant and have to raise him or her all on my own. On top of that I wanted to be married and in a stable position before a baby even crossed my mind.Once I had decided on this I had right away made a call to my doctor to set up an appointment. I had left out the house before Ryan had woken up. I knew that if I didn't he would want to drive me and I
LUNA ALEX Walking up to The New Elite pack house it was surrounded by guards. I notice a few of them belonging to The Red Bloods Pack, bowing at me when I came into their peripheral vision. I walked up the three steps and knocked on the front door. A few seconds later the door open and Ellie was standing there with a bright smile. Ellie wore a black spaghetti strapped dress paired with black sandal heels with her long blonde hair curled. "Alex, you made it." She hugged me, "Finally, I was just about to kill myself." She whispered when she was close enough to my ear.I pulled back so that I could see the look on her face. "What why?""Tell you about it later. Come." She gestured for me to follow her. She leads us to the dining room where I was greeted by many beautiful women sitting at a long wooden table."Hi, I'm Alex." I waved at them as they all stared at me as if I had two heads. I assumed it had something to do with the fact that I was human. Ryan had warned me that many of the
ALPHA RYAN "Hello?"It was just after five a.m. when my phone rang I quickly answered it so that it wouldn't wake Alex up."Alpha Ryan?" The woman asked. The voice sounded kind of familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it."Yes, who is this?" I asked rudelyNot only were they calling at a ridiculous hour but they also didn't have the decency to introduce themselves at first hand."It's Hailee. I'm Mason's mate." I immediately groaned in annoyance. Why the fuck was she calling me at this early in the morning?"What do you want?" I couldn't stop the growl that left my lips.She huffed in annoyance. "I just wanted to inform you that there have been rogues sighting near our borders. Plus, Alpha Caine mate was just kidnapped by a group of rogues a couple of hours ago.""What," I yelled. "Is everything okay?"Alex jumped up from her sleep. "What's going on?" Alex asked and I held up my hand for her to wait until I finished the call."I'm not really sure. Mason went to go help but he's on
ALPHA RYAN "Do I know you?"He smirked. "No, but I know you.""Um-..." Mason said waiting for the guy to fill in the blank."Max. My name is Max.""Right. If your beef is with Ryan what do, I have to do with this?" Mason asked and I expected nothing less from this bastard and if we were in the opposite situation and a group of rogues were after him I wouldn't even blink when they begin attacking him.He looked to Mason with an evil smile. "Oh, you have a lot to do with this." He rubbed his hand together excitedly. "Time for story time.""You do know that our pack will come for us and they will kill all of you." I threaten him. Tyler was already aware that I was going after rogues and when he eventually couldn't get in contact with me, he would come after me."They won't make it, I have more than enough wolves to keep you guys busy, and that's including your allies." He explained."Doubt it," I said under my breath. There was no way that he had that many rogues risking their lives for
ALPHA RYANThree Months Later Slowly the pack began to rebuild and eventually things were back to normal- well as normal as things could be without my father and a dozen other pack members. My mother was still grieving and still remained in her room for the majority of the day, only coming out when I had forced her to. Lily, on the other hand, was blocking everything out as if nothing had every happened. She dedicated most of her time to working at the diner and into her school work, barely leaving any time for any regular teenage activities.The anger that I had towards my father was still present in my heart I would eventually have to deal with these emotions but for now, I was focusing primary on my pack and keeping everyone safe. "Any usual activities around the borders?" I asked Tyler at one of our daily meeting that I had put in place since the attack on my pack."Not at all, with the constant patrolling there's no way anyone is getting in or near our territory with us knowing.
LUNA ALEX Shortly after that we packed up and headed home despite it being one in the morning. During the duration of the car ride, I refused to talk with Ryan, him refusing to apologize pissed me off but him talking to be that way was unacceptable and I wasn't going to stand for it. "You're just gonna continue to ignore me." He asked through our mind link. Plugging in my headphones I used Frank Ocean's new album to tune him out. Hours had passed until we had finally made it back to the territory, it was early in the afternoon and because I was eager to get away from him I quickly changed into comfortable clothes and headed to the restaurant not bothering to tell Ryan where I was headed.It was going on two p.m. when I arrived to work. "Well look what the cat dragged in. Nice for you to come to work." Lily commented as I entered the place and immediately put on my apron."Nice to see you again Lily." I picked up a notepad behind the counter."Hey, boss lady." The twins waved at me. "
LUNA ALEX"I just can't believe this happened." Ellie cried in disbelief. As soon as I opened the door she pulled me into a hug, crying she drenched my shirt with her tears.According to Ryan, Paul had been a father figure to Ellie ever since her parents died, losing him had clearly been just as hard to her as everyone else. Her mate Noah only came in for a few second before leaving to go talk with Daniel to make sure that the pack was okay."I can't even remember the last time we had a real conversation. With work and the argument about Elliot, I've just been so busy and-and-." Lily cut herself off by bursting into tears. She was referring to the night at The New Elite Pack which was the last time they talked and that was an argument between the two. With the both of them being so stubborn they refused to give in making that the last time they spoke.I rubbed her back to comfort her while trying to not let my own emotions take over. I didn't know Paul that well but he was Ryan's fath
Shortly after my conversation with Hailee ended we learned that Paul had been killed. The screams of Lisa could be heard from a mile away, same for Lily. They were inconsolable which eventually lead to Lily been transported upstairs where she and her mother could grieve together and so that they could also not be a distraction to Avery and I who were still trying to put all the pieces together.Hailee getting in contact with me had served as a good idea. We had narrowed down the list of possible locations where are mates were and now both of our available wolves were on their way to find our Alphas. Our only wish was for them both to be alive when we found them."They have spotted them." Avery relayed the message from Tyler to me."What's happening? Is Ryan okay?" I asked without frantically. While I could still feel the mate bond it was faint and I had no idea what that meant."Ryan and Max are fighting."I stiffen knowing that Max had to be strong and wise for all the planning and m
LUNA ALEX Before Paul and Lisa had mated he had been involved with another woman. Shortly after he had met Lisa he had kicked her out of the pack and unknowingly she had been pregnant with his child. Maxwell Steward.A few years back Max had gotten in touch with Paul. He was living with a group of rogues and had been going low on money and supplies. With Paul being his father Max had assumed that Paul would come to his aid and allow him to join his family. Unfortunately, Paul thought of Max as being the poison that could ruin his family, he wrote him a nice check and sent Max away. For him to only come back a year later and attack his pack along with many others, and now he was back again. This time stronger, wiser and even more pissed off."Why didn't he just tell me; we could have worked things out?" Lisa cried to Edward who had just finished telling us all of Paul's deep dark secrets.He sighed. "He thought that it could ruin your guy's family."She forced a laugh, "Well that's ex
