“Well, in the port, has never been the main source of income for the pack,” Hank says into the phone as Juliet comes in. “That is why I want it secured. It’s an entry point and as such needs to be secured…………Rather we get attacked regularly, or not, it's a weak spot and I, as Alpha, want it tightened up. I mean it. I’ll be there tomorrow to see the plans.”Hank hangs up.“Still pouring over my Dad’s old stuff?” Juliet asks.“His invasion plans are spot on. Part of me wonders if he had a spy in the pack,” Hank says. “I don’t want to alert the other packs yet but thank you for supporting me and not going to Roger and Janice’s ceremony.”“I get it. You want to make his plan moot,” Juliet runs her fingers through his hair.“I hate that this plan was ever out there for anyone to see. Thank you for bringing it to me,” Hank hugs her.Juliet had taken the chance during Terry’s 17th a few months ago to clean out her father’s house. Over the past seven months, she and Hank have been using her f
Before Juliet was taken:Juliet feels Hank kiss her cheek before he heads out to the port. Juliet stretches as the sun wakes her. She showers and gets ready for the day.“Good morning, Luna,” she is greeted with coffee and a plate of breakfast.“Good morning, Molly,” Juliet smiles. “Did you get you letter from Dartmouth yet?”“I’m hoping today,” Molly smiles. “Thank you for writing a recommendation.”“You are welcome, I never felt the need to go to college, but I am glad you did, and I want you to go!” Juliet smiles and starts to eat.After breakfast, Hank sends an indecent text. Juliet giggles, reading it on her way to her office.“Hello Jules,” a familiar voice whispers from her office.“Nathan?” Juliet looks around.“You always did know my voice,” Nathan slips behind her. Juliet feels the prink of the needle.Nathan take’s Juliet’s phone and makes the call with a chuckle.He drops her phone and looks for the scent spray. He can’t find it. He hears footsteps and hides with her in th
Sebastian sees the plane in front of him. Bringing it down was easy, much easier than he thought it would be.“Where is Luna Juliet?” Sebastian snarls at the pilot.“She was never on this plane. I promise. I was told to fly home,” the pilot cowers.Sebastian yanks his phone out. “Hank, she wasn't on the plane. She has to be in Utah by now. Call Donavan.”“Thanks, Uncle Seb,” Hank hangs up and make arrangements to land in Alpha Donavan’s territory.“Good to see you looking so good. If Iris was missing, not sure I’d be looking this good,” Donavan says, shaking his hand. “My guys found the car at a gas station; your Luna is feisty. The kidnapper threatened a family, or she would have stayed hidden. They are following them. We can set up about a mile into the neutral zone.”“I appreciate this man,” Hank tells him as they head to the spot.“My brother, Kyle, is there in case they are driving faster than we judged,” Donavan explains as they cross into the neutral zone.“Keep your warriors b
“Mitchell,” Hank rolls his eyes.“Yeah, and can you step away?” Terry asks.“Standby,” Hank kisses Juliet and steps out of the room. “Go.”“Mitchell paid to have Collins killed in prison. They found him in the cell two hours ago, he had a shank sticking out of stomach. The pictures are brutal,” Terry says. “I’m not letting Catherine see them.”“So, the plan was what exactly?” Hank asks, his blood boiling and hands shaking.Jake- Stay calm, we can’t leave out mate yet.“Dad, Ollie, and your Dad are on the way to talk to him,” Terry says.“Talk?” Hank asks.“Well,” Terry chuckles. “Our dads' version of talking.”“I’m glad everyone took this so seriously. I am here with Donavan and Kyle. I’ll fill them in. And I’ll tell Juliet her dad is dead,” Hank looks back through the window in the door. Juliet’s color is coming back slowly, and she is smiling at the doctors. “How is my sister and yours?”“Nova is pissed as hell that we made her go into the saferoom. Oliver had to calm her down, she
“Happy 18th Birthday, Luna,” Terry snakes his arms around Catherine as midnight creeps into their bedroom.They are sharing the Alpha Suite now, having moved in earlier. Tonight is their ceremony.“It is my 18th Birthday and the mate bond so much stronger,” Catherine moans and they start kissing. “Why do you have to mark me in public?”Terry chuckles, running his hand down her back. “So everyone can see you consent and agree we are fated.”Catherine rolls her eyes. “Everyone knows I consent and we hazed at 16, we are mates. Fuck them.”“You know I would rather fuck you,” Terry whispers as he seizes her lips.The kiss is passionate, and his tongue is gentle as he coaxes hers to enter his mouth. Catherine holds him and rolls to her back, not breaking the kiss.Terry is only in boxers, so as he settles between her legs, she feels his erection.“You waited for me?” Catherine asks, breaking the kiss.“You know I did, tonight you are all mine,” Terry leans in to kiss her again.“Why wait un
“Catherine, you are going to drop that pup right here if you down slow down,” Terry yells after his mate. A flicker in Nova’s bedroom catches his eye and he stops, opening her door slightly. He groans.Catherine backs up to see what has him pouting.“Oh, how beautiful and romantic,” Catherine smiles. There are candles lit all over the room with rose petals thrown everywhere. Nova even crafted a heart of petals on her bed with the sheets pulled back. “Now move it, he is going to be here any second and I don’t want to miss the haze.”Terry shutters but picks up his mate to carry her safely down the stairs.“I can’t believe tomorrow my annoying little sister will be a Luna,” Terry says as he joins everyone in the foyer. He places a kiss on Catherine’s head before placing her on her feet.“I can’t believe you knocked my sister up,” Hank shakes his head in disgust.Catherine laughs. “If Nova has her way, Ollie will be doing the same to her tonight.”Sebastian lets out a low growl but then
Nova and Oliver are all smiles and giggles in the backseat as Terry drives. Catherine is suppressing a laugh as Terry turns more and more green.“Now you know how we make Hank feel,” Catherine tells Terry as Oliver makes Nova moan a little.“I’m never touching you in front of your brother again,” Terry mumbles, making Catherine laugh.When Terry parks the car, Oliver tosses Nova over his shoulder and runs away.“All that teasing in the car must have gotten to him,” Catherine laughs, planting kisses on Terry’s jaw and neck. “We are still like that, you know. We are just as gross.”Terry makes a disgusted face, “She is my little sister.”Catherine can’t contain her laughter.Upstairs, Oliver passes several Omegas, who are finishing preparing rooms.“I will give your Luna back to you in a few minutes,” Oliver tells them as he carries Nova to their bedroom.Oliver locks the door before tossing Nova on the bed making her squeal and giggle.“I thought you were just putting on a show for my
Nova dashes out the back doors to catch her breath.She leans over the stone railing overlooking the pool.They hate her all of her. They gossip, but will they plot against her.Nova starts to hyperventilate.“Whoa,” Milo catches her before she falls. “Sandra call Oliver.”“Nova honey,” Temperance runs to her daughter, who is cradled in Milo’s arms. “Honey, talk to me.”Before Nova can speak, the patio shakes. Oliver has jumped from his bedroom on the fifth floor to the stone patio in a pair of sweatpants.“Baby,” Oliver takes Nova in his arms. “Baby, talk to me.”Nova lays her cheek on his bare chest to calm herself. Oliver holds her and walks toward the woods away from everyone.“What happened?” Oliver asks.Astra- Tell him the truth. He will know if you lie.Nova- Not if you don’t tell him.Astra- That is a joke right.Nova- Don’t tell him, Astra. I don’t want to start my Luna duties this way. I will deal with it.Astra- Fine, as long as it’s just words. They lay a finger on you an
