One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Runes
JAMES POVWe got Addie back to the hotel. Toby had called ahead and made arrangements for the penthouse and then found us all clothing to put on while we were driving. Watching Bruce put on pants while driving eighty miles per hour on the highway wasn’t for the faint of heart, but I knew showing up to the valet completely naked wasn’t a good idea. It was bad enough that Addie was just wrapped in a blanket.I should have given Toby more credit. Bruce pulled into the parking garage and the person Toby was on the phone with opened the private elevator and sent it up to the penthouse. A concierge was there with a key to let us in.Bruce excused himself to go wait on the roof for Dr. Joanna to arrive via helicopter. I lay Addie on the bed, her clear eyes looking up at me completely trusting. I removed the now dry towels and wet two more, laying them on her. She quietly thanked me.Dr. Joanna was with her for a long time. I waited outside the room with Toby, not sure I could contro

ADDIE POVJames came storming into the room and slammed the door behind him. I turned to look at him.“What are you doing up?” James asked, rushing to me.“I’m feeling better and would like to go home,” I said, smiling. “I thought if I showed you I was fine you’d be more inclined to take me.”He walked over and kissed my head. “I will gladly take you home, little pup. But there’s something we have to do first.”I looked at him. I could feel the fear and anger radiating from him. “What is it?”He sighed deeply and then pulled me on to his lap. “The witch burned Runes into your torso,” he said. “We have to change those Runes so no one can ever use them to take your gift from you.”I stilled. “How do we do that?” I think I knew, and I wasn’t thrilled about it.He looked at me with a look of anguish. I took a deep breath. “Okay,” I said. “Let’s get on with it, then. I don’t want to have to sit and think about it.”James took my hands in his. “I wish there was another way.”

JAMES POVAfter Elder Jackson was done with Addie, I walked him down to the lobby. “You have a brave mate,” he said to me as he climbed into his car. I nodded. Yes, I did. And I needed to take care of a few things so that nothing would ruin what I had with her. I hailed a car and driver and gave directions to my office. I called Alice and let her know I was coming. Alice runs my offices and acts on my behalf when I’m with the Pack. She had a few things she needed my signature for and, since I was in the city, I was running by to sign them. I had also told Vanessa that I would arrange for her to get a job at the company and to stay in one of the company apartments. I wanted to arrange this with Alice personally.My phone rang as I was stepping in the elevator to go up to the top floor.“Hey Toby,” I answered, caller ID telling me who it was.“You’re a f^cking idiot, James. You should have stayed here with Addie.”I felt a cold trickle down my back. “Is she okay?” I asked

ADDIE POVI fell asleep on the ride in and woke up when we got to the Packhouse. James reached into the back the SUV to help me out and I snuggled into his arms, letting him lift me. I really wasn’t in too much pain, but I liked the extra attention I was getting from him so, I admit it, I played it a little bit.The Omegas that gathered in the foyer to say hello to us when we arrived looked shocked to see me. I was a little affronted until I caught sight of myself in a mirror. And then I realized I looked bad.James tried to get me to go up to our room and rest, but I had just woken up and I wanted something to eat. I slipped into the kitchen and shooed Sophie out when she wouldn’t stop wringing her hands and telling me she could make whatever I wanted. James leaned against the counter and watched me whip up a pan of caramel with amusement.“What are you going to do with that?” he asked. I smirked at him and didn’t answer, reaching for a bowl of fruit.I sliced up mangos, appl

ADDIE POVEmily threw herself into planning my Luna ceremony with everything she had. I tried to help out a little and give my opinion when asked, but I honestly didn’t care about a lot of things. When she came to me to ask me which shade of light blue I wanted the napkins to be, I plastered a fake smile on my face and randomly pointed at one swatch. It all looked the same to me, but by the look on her face, I realized I picked wrong.I decided honesty was the best policy.“Um, Emily? Can I talk to you?”She looked up from her stack of binders that she had organized the different caterers and event rentals into. “Sure, what’s up?” Her smile was faltering. I knew she expected the worst from the look on my face.“I don’t know how to say this without it coming across as incredibly ungrateful. So, please hear me out. I’m going to say it and if you want to hate me after, that’s okay. I probably deserve it.”She looked apprehensive. “You promise not to use your gift on me?”I put

UNKNOWN POVHe climbed over a downed tree, the swampy air making him cough. He inwardly cursed the witch that made herself so unavailable that the closest he could bring his rental car was within a half mile to her house. He looked down at his expensive shoes. They were definitely ruined. He had thoughts he could salvage them until he accidently stepped ankle deep in some stagnant water.He finally made it to her house and his lip curled up in disgust. Why do dark witches have to be so disgusting, he wondered. Gransha was no exceptions. The tiny yard was littered with tools and implements, half rusted, and the carcass of some large animal hung from a tree in the middle of the yard. It was half skinned and pieces of its bones had been chopped off, probably for some sort of ritual. He was sure she wasn’t eating it. The carcass was half rotted and the smell brought tears to his eyes.Gransha met him on the front porch and beckoned him to come in. He ducked to get through the d

ADDIE POVI left the dungeon with a heavy heart. I have been going the past couple of days to talk to Helena. She has such hatred for my family, and I don’t understand why. I have been speaking to her to try and determine if there was any form of redemption for her. James and Toby want to turn her over to the Council for punishment for what she tried to do to me. I don’t want that if it can be avoided. She’s the only part of my past that I have.I headed back to the Packhouse, trying to decide what I was going to do for the rest of the day. I was feeling down and really didn’t want to do much. Eating cookies and taking a nap sounded nice. I sighed. I needed to go train.Emily came out of the Packhouse at a run, meeting me.“I have the BEST news!” she said, huge smile on her face. I plastered a fake smile on mine. My Luna ceremony was nine days away and she has been working hard. I was trying to be nice, but I really didn’t feel like it. I decided to skip training and go

ADDIE POVI turned in panic and was confronted by an old woman. “You must be Addie,” she said, huge smile on her face. “Yes, but my friend has been taken! I need to use your phone please Sheila!” I tried to push past her, and she let me, tottering at the edge of the sidewalk. I bounded up her rickety porch steps and into her house, pulling up short. This house wasn’t lived in. There was no furniture, the floorboards had been ripped up in spots and the doors were off hinges. It was dark, dank, and dirty. I whirled around, realizing too late that this was a trap for me, not for Emily and that woman on the front steps was not Sheila.The old woman was in the doorway, blocking me from running out. I whirled again and ran down the hall towards the back of the home, past a staircase going up. A man stepped into the doorframe and blocked my way. It was Danny.I whirled again, vaulting up the staircase and running up. I wasn’t sure where I was going but I had a small thought that

One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Luna Addie
ADDIETwo months later, on the day of the full moon and summer solstice, I was dressed in a sapphire blue gown that was fitted on the top and billowed to the ground in shimmery waves. A laughing Emily was trying to help me with my makeup. Her growing belly was in the way, and Gracie was crawling around getting underfoot. Undeterred, Emily tried to add another swipe of mascara to my already heavy lashes. “Come on, Addie! It will make your eyes pop!”I laughed back at her. “My eyes will look like spiders if you put another coat on my lashes!” Tonight was the night of my Luna ceremony. Wolves from many of our cooperating packs were in attendance as well as all of the pack members from our pack. We had invited the Council members and were surprised when most of them accepted. Matthew and Jessie were also going to be there bringing their newborn pup with them. I knew that James had already spent time snuggling their baby boy and getting his fill of the newborn smells. I had bee
One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Announcement
ADDIEAfter the excitement of everything, the next few months felt almost boring by comparison. We were busy, that was for sure. My Luna Ceremony had been postponed and we were beginning the planning again. We were also actively involved in helping Matt and Jessie build a new Packhouse before their pup arrived. The old packhouse was being turned into a youth center and dormitory for the continuing education prospects that Jessie wanted to bring to her Pack. In the days of Alpha Cole, it was decreed by the Alpha what the profession of the wolves coming of age would be. Jessie wanted to give them choices and equal opportunities. I was excited to be a part of that.Three weeks after we returned from our latest mishap in the city, Emily asked if we could have lunch in the village. I agreed, knowing something was up.“Do you want me to bring James?” I asked. “No,” she said, a sly look on her face. I agreed, letting her keep her secret for now. I would know soon enough.I met Jam
One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Home Again
ADDIE I got into the car and looked James over, satisfied that he only had a few bumps and bruises but nothing was seriously hurt. I could smell the wolfsbane on his breath and knew he had been dosed but I could tell that it was slowly leaving his body. How is he? I asked Talia. Scout is weak but recovering. He will be fine, she answered. I gave a sigh of relief. Toby got into the driver’s seat and turned the SUV over, backing out of the drive. “Where to, Luna?” he asked. “Aren’t we waiting for the other warriors?” I asked, turning back to look at the house. He shook his head. “No, they need to do some cleanup. They are going to need to call the council for help. Vanessa went rogue and there is a lot that will have to be done to minimize exposure to the human world.” He had a look of disgust on his face. "First and foremost, they will have to figure out what to do about two human bodies. Old man and woman. They didn't even have a chance against her." I nodded, suddenl
One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Confrontation
ADDIE POVI walked out of the conference room with Roman and the other guard chasing after me, pulling along a reluctant Brad. Toby came, too, lips pressed together. I recognized the look. He hated the idea and wanted to set up a counterattack at the park at midnight, but he also recognized that my plan might work. It was fueled by pure rage on my part, but I was positive I would get James back.Alice had called ahead and worked her magic so by the time I made it to the front doors, a valet was there with a set of keys and an SUV was sitting in the drive up. I caught the keys as they were tossed to me and the warriors dove into the back seat, shoving Brad between them. Toby jumped into the passenger seat, buckling up as I started driving away.“What’s the plan, Luna?” Roman asked tentatively from the back seat. Toby glanced back at him but said nothing. “I know the area. It’s estates. I’ll find a spot to pull over and drop you and Brad off. We’ll meet up at the house, but I
One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Phone Call
ADDIE POV I was pissed. I’ve absolutely had it with Vanessa and Zoe and everyone else who felt like they had a right to mess with James and my happiness. I was going to end this and I was going to end this today. I commandeered an empty conference room and started organizing and planning. The first person to arrive was Alice who came through the door at a dead run. “How can I help?” she panted. I slid a computer over to her. “Figure out where Vanessa is. And, if you can, figure out how I can contact her.” Alice took the laptop from me and started tapping away, accessing the company files to find a current address. "She's moved around a few times. I don't think she's still at the address we have on file, but I'll have one of our security drive by and check." She picked up her cell phone and dialed. I started pacing, wanting things to move faster. Matthew came in to give me an update on Bryon. I listened and said all the appropriate things, but I honestly didn’t care.
One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Captured
JAMES POVWhen Bryon and I stepped into the elevator he remained stoic until the doors shut, then he punched me on the arm. “Your mate is one of a kind, you know,” he said, wistfully, with a smile.I grinned at him. “I know. You’ll get your mate, hopefully soon. And she’ll be pretty amazing, too.”He punched me again. “But not as amazing as Addie?” I laughed out loud. “As you said, she’s one of a kind.”He turned to face the door of the elevator again and he had his serious Gamma face on by the time the doors opened. One of the amazing things about Bryon is that he knew when to cut up and he knew when to be serious.I waved to the security guard at the gate. “Until next time, Alpha,” he shouted at me. “Hopefully never again,” I shouted back. “No offense, Jeff.”“None taken, Alpha,” he said, laughing. The double doors to the outside opened, and I heard a loud pop. Byron fell over beside me.It took me a second for my brain to register what was happening. When Bryon fell,
One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Taken
ADDIEThe trial was over for the witnesses. We were dismissed by the Council and the prisoners were taken back to their cells. The Council still had to work out some details, but they were taking a quick break.“I want to talk to Matthew for a second,” I whispered to James. He smiled at me. “Bryon and I will go get the car,” he said. “It takes a little bit of time to get it back from the valet so you have a few minutes.”I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and watched him step into the elevator with Bryon. I had to wait a few minutes; many were congratulating Matthew on the acquisition of the Hellroaring River Pack. He finally was able to break away and he came to me.“Addie!” He gave me a quick peck on the cheek. “I don’t know what to say. What a gift!”I grinned back at him. “Are you sure? I wanted to make sure you aren’t mad at me.”He shrugged. “I will probably step down from the council, much to the delight of some of our Junior members,” he smiled over my shoulder w
One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Alpha Addie
ADDIE POVI don’t much remember my hearing when I was being tried for killing Alpha Cole. I think I was pretty much in shock and willing to play the victim. It was one of the few times in my life that I left the fight to others and didn’t much care about my future.I felt no empathy for Zoe or Jackson as they sat in their chairs, glaring balefully at the others. The other Councilmembers were really good with their poker faces; however, most would have a flicker of disgust when their gaze would fall upon Jackson. Exploiting another Pack for their wealth was not unheard of, but it wasn’t something that a prim, proper, upstanding Councilmember would do under any circumstances. Jackson broke that law, and they would be forced to deal with him harshly.I wasn’t surprised, nor was I dismayed when I found that Jackson’s punishment was death. For the werewolf population to trust their leadership, it had to be above reproach. They had to show a unified front and discipline harshly.Matt
One Luna Two Alphas Three Gifts Zoe's Attack
ADDIEI looked over at James. I didn’t know Dr. Joanna as well as he did, and I wasn’t as trusting as he was. It scared me that she knew about my gift, and it scared me that she had a gift of her own.“How does that work for you and for us?” I asked. Both of them looked at me with confusion.“James is unaffected by my gift unless he wants to be,” I explained. “He has to literally want to be controlled by my gift. Same in reverse. I have to want him to read my mind. You figured out my gift because you somehow recognized what I was trying to do during the battle. Can you use your gift against me?”Dr. Joanna grinned. “Don’t know. I haven’t ever tried. As you know, there’s not many of us out there.” I nodded, acknowledging that point. “I’ll try. Be prepared to duck.”She pointed to a paperweight on her bookcase and it came flying at me. I ducked but I didn’t have to. The paperweight struck an invisible barrier and dropped to the ground. I sucked in my breath. “That is s
