“How long have you been there?” “Long enough to hear you sing while you pee.” “You were watching me?!” “It’s not like I haven’t seen you naked.” “Wow, ok, this isn’t weird or embarrassing!” I huff at him and turn back towards the house, but my boot gets stuck on a fallen cornstalk and I trip. Colin is quick and catches me before I fall. “You know, you’re clumsy when you drink. I always end up catching you.” He places me back on my feet while still holding his hand on my lower back. “Well then it’s a good thing you were here to catch me, Mr. Creepy!” I say way too sarcastically. The moonshine is kicking in for sure. “Ellie, I’ve given you space this week to think. I’ve done my own thinking too. It didn’t take long for me. I’ve had my mind made up the minute we started kissing in the woods. I want you and no one else. I will do anything to prove that to you.” “I don’t know Colin; your words sound so amazing but I--” Before I can continue my sentence his lips are pressed against m
The moment I step back into the party Amber and Heather come running at me. “Where have you been girl, flip cup just started!” Amber grabs my wrists and then stares at me like she can see into my soul. She sniffs the air and looks slightly confused. She looks down slowly almost like she figured out who the killer in the movie was before anyone else. “OH, MY GODDESS ELLIE YOUR NECK!!!!!! My hand flings to her mouth and I try to shush her as much as possible. “Wow, should we call you Luna now?” Heather cracks herself up and is holding her stomach from laughing so hard. How does she know it’s from Colin? “That actually sounds amazing Ellie, you, my Luna.” The voice is smooth and laced with affection. Wait, that was Colin’s voice but it wasn’t out loud and from the looks of the girls they didn’t hear it. “We’re mated fully and marked Ellie. We can mind link now remember.” My head snaps around to the entrance of the corn field to see him walking with a huge grin plastered
“Luke, I was going to tell you.” I pull the hoodie back over my neck like that would suddenly reverse the last thirty seconds and he wouldn't have seen it. Obviously, that didn't work. “It’s fine Ellie, you’re his mate anyway right? Who am I to get upset? I’m just your friend with benefits. Well, when it benefits you.” His words are harsh but true and laced with sadness. I can tell his heart is broken. I search his eyes for any sign that we can get past this and all I see is hurt. I try to grab his arm but he moves it away before I can even touch it. “I need to get going, my dad should be coming back sometime tomorrow and we have important meetings all day. Goodnight Elenor I’m happy for you, really.” There is literally nothing I can do or say at this moment so I just watch him leave. Really hoping that tonight isn’t the end of our friendship. I see the girls are about to come to me and I wave them off. “I’ll find you guys in a little while; I just need space.” They know
I wake up with a throbbing headache. Ugh why did I drink so much. Wait, I didn’t drink enough to have a hangover. I rub the back of my head and my eyes jolt open as I remember what happened after leaving Logan’s. I bring my hand back in front of me and it’s covered in dried blood. I am already healed but can tell it was a deep cut from whatever hit me. I look around and take in my surroundings. I’m not sure where I am and I don’t smell anything familiar. I try to talk to Leia but the link is not working. She is either still blocking me out or we can’t reach each other. I tried to link my parents or Colin even with the same result. I sit up and look over my body making sure I have no other injuries. To my relief there are none that I can see. I do however notice I am wearing clothes that don’t belong to me. I remember that I shifted back right before being knocked out, so that means someone else dressed me, which is super creepy and embarrassing. Ok, I know I’m not in our pack’
“I’m sorry beautiful I didn’t mean to scare you. I will talk to my warrior that did this to you and he will be punished. I’m glad to see you are healed already, but I will still take you to see Tiffany, our pack doctor. Now sit and tell me what you meant by not physically.” I am really starting to wonder about these rumors about Alpha Shane because so far, he is the exact opposite of what I have heard. He seems caring almost and I am only an intruder in his pack. “It’s an extremely long and intimate story Alpha, and I apologize but it’s too painful to even think about right now.” A tear starts rolling down my cheek as the events from last night come into my mind. He tenderly wipes the tear away and stares at me for a moment. “You may call me Shane and I am truly sorry that someone hurt you, you don’t deserve that. What is your name beautiful?” He pulls a chair over to me and sits so that we are only about a foot apart. He leans in to me and I feel a rush of butterflies. “My
***Phone call, only Alpha Shane's voice is heard by Ellie. **** “Good afternoon Alpha Lawrence, it’s Alpha Shane from the Knight Moon Pack." "I’m good, thank you, I hope all is well with you and Amara." "Glad to hear it. I’m calling because I want to discuss a meeting at our border with you, your son, your Beta, his son and a few of your best warriors." "Well, I have someone that belongs to your son and assume he would like her back very much. There will need to be some negotiations made first and I am hoping to have this go peacefully. I am more than willing to keep her as my own if we cannot come to an agreement." "Thank you, Lawrence. I will see you tomorrow at the border at sunrise. Oh, and tell your son to keep his head. I know he will be Alpha next year and I am looking forward to possibly creating an alliance with your pack, but his temper will jeopardize that if he does not control his little wolf. Have a nice day.” ***End p
I went to the pack doctor earlier with Shane and he insisted to stay with me to ensure I was taken care of properly and that I was indeed not physically hurt by Colin. I rolled my eyes at him so much I am shocked I don’t have a massive headache. ***Flashback to the doctor's visit*** "Alright young lady, it seems as if your wound has healed nicely." The doctor who looks to be in her late fifties tells me. "Alpha, per your request I have given her a thorough evaluation and she does not have any indications of physical abuse." I roll my eyes in annoyance again at Shane who nods his approval at the doctor. "What about her wolf? Why can't she connect with her?" "What about my connection with my mate! My family as well?" I glare at him before looking to the doctor for her answer which clearly agitates Shane. "Yes, well. The object that the warrior hit your head with was covered with wolfsbane and silver. When it cut your head, the contents seeped
“It is all going to be up to you, the negotiations and how the little wolf controls himself in the morning. Don’t fret about it too much beautiful, you will be taken care of the entire time. Either I or Brandon will be with you for the duration of the meeting.” He walks over to where I am still frozen and places his hand on my back, guiding me out of the dining room. He takes me back to my room, and kisses my cheek goodnight. Still not able to respond, I just stand there. “I’ll see you in the morning beautiful, you have a lot to consider tonight. One of my t shirts are on the chair for you to wear to bed.” He closes the door and I slump over to the bed, flopping down onto it with a huff. I wish my mom was here to tell me what to do. My mind is all over the place and so is my heart. Colin, Luke, and now Shane. Shit, Luke! Oh, goddess I hope he’s ok and knows that I am safe. He will be there tomorrow at sunrise, so he must know by now. Oh no, they will all be at the same plac
**** 2 weeks later****I open my eyes as wide as I can. I'm always tired now and it's hard to keep them open. Waking up again in this hell hole makes me whimper. I am not sure how long it's been since the ball but I've been trying to count the sunrises and sunsets the best I can. I think it's around ten days give or take. I frequently pass out from the exhaustion, so I am just not sure anymore.My wrists are in restraints, chained to the brick wall behind me. My ankles as well. Someone comes in every day to soak them in more wolfsbane and silver to keep me from breaking out of them. They also inject me with it to make sure I can't link Colin and my parents or connect with Leia.I'm cold, and although I hate to admit it, I am scared. My only visitors are random omegas. They are nothing like Josie and Samantha. Instead, they are cold and distant. There is only one person who will speak to me, but I dread his visits. It's Shane.He is the one who did this to me. He is slowly trying to bre
“I love you too Luna, forever.” This is the first time he has ever called me Luna out loud and it sounds so amazing! We hug like we haven’t seen each other in years, and he pulls back just enough to kiss me with the most intense kiss I’ve ever received from him.“Ok you two break it up, please, before your company watches you have sex on the front lawn.” It isn’t until Luke interrupts us that we remember there are other people that even existed besides us. We both laugh with our lips still connected before turning around still embraced in a hug.“Sorry about that, I really missed my Luna.” He kisses my neck and I smile with pride.“Luna, huh?” Luke looks sarcastically at both of us.“Soon enough man, she will be.” Colin kisses me again. This time, on my mark, and I tingle under his lips. I take the flowers from his hand, smelling them. I moan and he laughs at me.“H-Hello Alpha Colin, it’s nice to see you again. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your pack. I’m excited about my
"May we come in Ellie?" Samantha's voice is soft like she is assuming I am naked; I giggle. "Yes, of course Samantha! I just need to finish getting this super tight thing on me and I'll be ready to go!" Josie finishes zipping me in and I turn around to face my guests. Samantha and Luke have just walked in to take me down to the ceremony as planned. "Look at you Ellie, wow. you are so beautiful." Luke couldn't restrain himself. "Seriously Ellie, you look... I mean you look like a princess!" Samantha is honestly so sweet. It's easy to fall in love with her personality. "Thank you both so much, you look amazing too, both of you!" Luke is in a gray suit with a blue tie and blue shoes, while Samantha is in an A-line long baby blue dress with crystals going around her waist like a belt. They really make such a cute couple. I grab my clutch and link my arm onto Luke's free one. "Wow, how did I get lucky enough to escort two gorgeous girls to the ceremony tonight?" I punch him with my fr
Knowing I can't be alone in the office with him, I go to the kitchen to find Luke. I'm sure that wherever Samantha is, he'll be. Sure enough, there he is, pressing her up against the fridge. His tongue currently down her throat and his hand is up her shirt. She opens one of her eyes, seeing me and she quickly pushes him away and straightens herself out. "I'm so sorry Ellie, I was just about to bring your coffee and breakfast when Luke showed up and.." Her voice trails off and she blushes brightly looking up at Luke. "It's ok Samantha, actually I was here to talk to Luke." He turns around awkwardly, and seeing the bulge in his pants, I am sure that's part of the reason why. He brings his hand up to his neck, rubbing it a few times while he takes his other hand and, well, adjusts himself. "Hey, E-Ellie. What's up?" This just got even more awkward. "Alpha Shane wants me to eat breakfast in his office with him. Alone. I can't do it Luke." I blurt the words out at him. "What
The kiss is deep and passion filled, but there are no sparks or tingles and my body isn't reacting the way it does when Colin kisses or touches me. That bottom lip though. It is big and juicy and my lips are enveloped by them. Then I remember I am not at home. I place my hand on the rock-hard chest in front of me and push it away as fast as I can. My eyes finally adjust as Shane stands in front of my bed and I see that he is currently shirtless, in joggers and apparently, no boxers. His erection is holding his pants up like a circus tent. I dart my eyes back up to his and a smirk spreads across his face. "Playing hard to get, you know, I like that about you. Looking at me all night and then denying me when we get physical. I think it's because you know I'll show you a better time than your little wolf. I can change your entire world beautiful. Just say when." I currently have the covers gripped tightly in my hands. Unable to speak, I turn my head to the side and looked down. H
“Alpha Shane! What are you doing in my room?!” I try to look anywhere but the shirtless, tattooed, beautiful specimen of a wolf in front of me. “I thought I would personally welcome you back into my pack, even if it’s just for the weekend. I see you brought dresses, I’m very interested in seeing them on you, or off. That’s to be decided, by you of course.” He gets off the bed and glides over to me, handing me the rose, kissing the corner of my mouth and walking out, closing the door behind him. UGH! That man! He is so frustrating. Why can’t I keep my composure around him? I swear he’s like a witch or something and puts me in a trance every time I’m near him. I’m with Colin and we are in such a good spot right now, I can’t be the one that messes that up. There is NO way that I’ll be able to take a nap so I text Colin instead. Me: I made it to the pack house. I am in my room, alone.Colin: Good, what time is the dinner again?Me: Not for another hour and forty-five minutes. It
*****Friday morning***** After breakfast I sit on my chair in my room scrolling through social media. We don't have school today because of some teacher thing I can't remember. Colin is with Luke in meetings all day so I told the girls they could take me shopping for my dresses. I have to wear a dress two nights in a row for the welcoming ceremony. It's a Friday and Saturday event. It's very special to my mother, so she insisted I that I dress up. I still don't know how I feel about the whole thing, but the thought of Shane's reaction to me dressing up suddenly turns me on. I close my eyes and lick my lips at the image in my head of him in a suit. "Woah girl, who are you thinking about?" Amber bursts into my room and starts laughing at me. I am so embarrassed and I am almost positive I am as red as a tomato. "Shut up Amber! Ready to go? Where is Heather?" "Ok fine, don't tell me. I know it's either Colin or Shane, so I'll eventually get it out of you!" She winks at me.
I get up and go to my bathroom hoping he will be in there with no luck. My mind starts racing to all the possibilities. I just can't let him break my heart again, not after the morning we just shared and the promises he made. I pace back and forth trying to not panic when my door quietly opens and in walks Colin with a tray of food and flowers on it. Seeing me pace and the look on my face he sets the tray down in a hurry and grabs my face. "What's wrong Ellie?" He is clearly nervous and probably thinks someone has died with how I am acting. "I woke up, you were gone, I thought, I thought that you--." I can't even finish the sentence. He realizes what I was thinking and pulls me in as tightly as he can. "I am not going anywhere Ellie." He steps back but only slightly so that we can see each other. He keeps his grip on my arms. "My heart is yours and yours alone. I want to be the one that makes you smile and the one that wakes up and falls asleep next to you every day. You ar
I reach down and place him inside of me. Colin looks into my eyes while he enters me carefully. Tucking a strand of hair behind my ear while still inside me he kisses the corner of my mouth, and then the other. "You are as beautiful as the Goddess herself. I am so lucky that she blessed me with you, and I am sorry that I didn't see that before." He speaks sweetly, then starts placing soft kisses all over my face. It is really sweet and I can't help the blush that spreads across my face. Without giving me time to answer, his mouth finds mine again and our tongues instantly become entwined, as he brings himself out of me and in again over and over, slowly. This time is different though. There is a passion in his movements that wasn't there the first two times we had sex. I can sense his feelings, but they are all over the place. "He loves us. I can sense it from him and Devon." Leia purrs in my head again. "I love him too Leia." She nods that she agrees. "Colin..." He stop
