I blink my eyes open. Oh man, I did fall asleep. I have never really had the luxury of napping. I hear a slight knock and a familiar voice. “Emma, sleepy head, time to get up for dinner”. “Come in ruth”. I raise myself up to my elbows. “How was shopping? Mom take you to Sak’s 5th? You meet Beth?”. She clearly likes shopping, I giggle to myself.
She is so elegant and put together. It looks effortless. “Emma, I am sorry for forcing you to wear those clothes last night”. I look at her with shock. “It’s just, my sister died and I hadn’t seen her for years. I often imagine how close we would’ve been had she not been…”. Her voice hitches. “Nonetheless, you’re here now and that&

Emma’s POV I am so excited to go for a walk. I desperately need some fresh mountain air. I put on what I think will be enough clothes until I step out into the brisk air. Oh lord it is colder than I expected. I turn to head to the room and Liam steps out. “Are you coming too?” I asked in a surprised tone. “I was planning on it unless it’s like a girls’ thing” he says smiling. “Oh definitely not, I just wasn’t sure”. He could tell I was cold, probably because of my nipples and quickly covered my chest. He strips off his hoodie and drapes it over my head and down my body. “No, you will freeze” I beg. “I go running in this weather without a shirt on. I am fine”. The sweatshirt smelled heavenly. I think he caught me sniffing it and just smiled at me.

Liam’s POV “Son, how bad is it?”. I pace in the lawn, “not good mom, not good”. I realize I have been sparing the worst part from my mother and sister. “Mom”, I stop, looking at her with my most serious face. “Someone has been targeting she wolves. We have been trying to track it but it’s completely random. Her eyes go massive, “WHAT? And you felt that keeping this from me was a good idea why??”. I realize now my grave mistake. After all, she is my mother. “How many? Liam… how many?”. I look down and breathe in a huge breath. “Nationally, hundreds. Locally, dozens”. My mom’s eyes look wild. I have never seen this side of her. “And what exactly are we doing to recover them?”. She’s pacing in a menacing way as if she is about to attack prey.

Emma’s POV I’m staring at a large black box except it’s very thin and stuck to the wall. I have never seen anything like it. With the click of a button I hear booming surrounding us. I look around swiftly and Liam lets out a giggle. “It’s called surround sound. You keep staring at the screen but you can hear the sounds all around us”. He told me we were watching his sister’s favorite movie, something called “Twilight”. “Is it about dusk or something?”. Again, he grins massively, trying not to laugh at me. “Baby, no.” There it is again. ‘Baby’? I kind of smiled at him, not knowing what to say or do. I set my cocoa down. He is sitting fai

Emma’s POV No idea how I managed to fall asleep. My insides were churning. We kissed, we finally kissed. And I love it. I love everything about it. “He is pretty dreamy Em”, Mor says tiredly. Our alarm went off at 5am. Right now, I don’t exactly want to get out of bed. I hear a slight knock on the door. Knowing who it is, I sprint to answer. “Good morning beau..” before he finishes, his eyes dart down to my legs. Right, I must have kicked my pants off in my sleep. Shit. He kindly turns around for a quick minute and gives me time to find my pants. Throwing them on, Mor further attempts to embarrass me “well no getting around that Em. Good thing you don’t sleep naked”. He patient

Emma’s POV This rower is the escape I have been waiting for. I am letting out more pent up sadness and anger than I realized I was holding. With each stroke, I feel more and more at ease. This is my new happy place! Even Mor likes the exertion. Occasionally I glance around and see different pack members whispering and staring at me. I just stay focused on the rower. A song comes over the stereo. The beat is intoxicating. I find myself finding the same rhythm with the rower. I hear Zak yell out “guys, really? Disturbed?”. Disturbed? He is just about to change it when I yell, “Wait, Zak. Leave it”. I get a lot of odd lo

Liam’s POV We find a routine each morning. I meet her at her door and we walk hand in hand to the gym. She always goes for the rower and rows for what seems like eternity. She loves that thing. Her favorite activity so far is boxing though. It has been a couple of weeks so I have the idea of teaching her some real sparring. Using Zak as bait, I set them up in the ring. We show her a few basic maneuvers. As I stand back, she takes her defensive stance. “Mmmm Liam, look at our mate”. I do feel a lot of pride in her abilities. Just then out of the corner of my eye, as Zak lunges forward, she roundhouse kicks him in the solar plexus. He drops like a sack of potatoes. I burst out laughing. “Holy shit Emma. Where
Orphan Luna Chapter 22
Emma’s POV After my embarrassing “moment” last week, we decided to stick to strictly boxing and rowing, though I was itching to learn how to spar. That is where the real self defense happens. Ruth decided to grace us with her presence this week. She doesn’t put very much effort forth, it’s fairly comical. And watching Leo fall all over himself near her is rather sad. Liam and I decided that we would practice posterior holds, where he is the only one who stands behind me, pretending to place a choke hold so I can learn the maneuvers. Partly because I know it’s him, I’m not triggered but I think he didn’t like another man behind me to be honest. I’m not complaining. He’s wa

Liam’s POV I gently roll onto my side, pulling my mate into me so we’re facing one another on our sides. Kissing her gently, thumbing her marks. “Did that hurt you?”. She smiles, “if you couldn’t notice it was a huge turn on”. I blush. I did notice. She gently closes her eyes, clearly at peace. “Emma, baby… I want you to mark me”. Her eyes open widely. “But… if I mark you, you will feel my pain and my memories”, she looks down. Gently stroking her cheek, “I want to take that burden from you Emma. I don’t want you to carry that alone”. Her doe eyes start welling. Oh no, please don’t cry. I don’t think I can handle that. I slide up to a sitting position, my head leaning on the headboard. I motion for her to come up to me. She slides her legs on either side of me and curls in closely. “Emma, you are my mate. I am your mate. You can feel me, all of me. I want all of it”. “I want you to feel me too, I just wish I could leave out the bad parts”. Wrapping my arms aroun

Liam’s POV *about six weeks later* “Liam, stop pacing”. I look up at Emma who is in labor but can’t push yet. “Why is she so calm?” Kalen nudges. I just shake my head. I have no idea how she’s this calm but it’s going on 20 hours now of labor and contractions but she hasn’t been able to actually push yet. “Oww… ehhh”, Emma lets out a slight shriek. I rush over to her. “Baby, tell me what you need”. Grace comes in, also cool as a cucumber. “Is this like a woman thing Liam?”. Kalen is just as nervous as I am. “Kalen buddy, I have no idea. But I’m freaking out too”. She squeezes my arm, oh shit that hurts. “Oh sorry baby”. I rub her hand, “no, squeeze all you need it’s fine”. I may regret that later. Grace checks her progress, “ooh, Emma my girl, you are finally ready. You feel like you can push?”. Emma takes a breath in, “no, I’m just gonna chill here a while and do a crossword”. She giggles, “yes, please… get them out of me!”. Grace looks at me, “you

Emma’s POV “I can’t believe it’s already been three weeks. Are you sure everything is ready?”. I’m a nervous wreck. Ruth is curling my hair, getting us ready for the ceremony. “Relax, Emma. Darling. Everything is set, just chill”. Grace comes in, followed by Savannah, Michelle and Dana. They’re all dressed and look stunning. Each chose their own style of emerald dress with gold jewelry. Grace in a gold dress. “Mama Grace!”, I look her up and down. “You are gorgeous”. She twirls and curtsies. Ruth scolds me, “quit moving child”. I sulk, “sorry mother”. She finishes my hair and light makeup. “Oh boy, the moment of truth. Hopefully it fits”. I step into the bathroom and shimmy into the gown only this time Grace steps in behind me. “Oh honey, you look stunning”. I look at myself in the mirror as she laces up the gown. “Thank you Grace”. She pulls a box from a bag and reveals a stunning pair of emerald earrings. “Oh my, Grace. That’s too much”. She swats my hand

Liam’s POV Luckily we anticipated these waits and brought a deck of cards. We got some odd looks but we had fun with our parking lot poker. Finally my Luna emerged after what felt like eternity. “You win us some money honey?”, her voice is like food for my soul. I scoop her up and spin her around, making her squeal a little. “We get to pick lunch huh?”, as I leave a little kiss on her mark. “Yeah, you guys pick Hooter’s or something?”. I squeeze her into me as Zak chuckles. “Why on earth would be take an entourage of our women folk there?”, Zak chides. “Culture Zak. Besides, Ian’s never been I bet”. He busts out laughing. I nip Emma’s shoulder lightly, “what did you guys do in that dress shop that has you so defiant miss Emma? No. We aren’t going to Hooter’s nor would we. Believe it or not, we’ve actually never been AND… I’ve heard their food sucks. Besides, I’ve got all the hooters I want right here”. I playfully caress her boob. Dana giggles, “You started

Emma’s POV Since Ruth got Liam on board with shopping, we just lumped the maternity wedding session into the trip too oh and… PEDICURES! The boys don’t know what’s coming. As we roll into the salon parking lot, Liam grumbles something and looks at Zak. “Zak, did you know about this?”. Dana and I giggle, “remember what you said Alpha, that you’d be willing to do it with me?”. His face goes super serious and almost pale. “Luna, I’d literally die for you but this… this is a lot to ask. Zak help me out”. There’s a smirk on the Beta’s face, “sorry boss, no can do. I do remember you saying you’d try it. Besides, my woman wants one too so here I am. Just suck it up”. Liam wraps his arms around me and kisses my temple. “You’re lucky I love you so damn much. And you…”, pointing to Zak, “definitely knew about this”. As we exit the SUV, Zak quips back, “pretty sure you’re the only one who doesn’t know Liam”. No one could miss the group of our brooding men, who insist on walkin
Orphan Luna Chapter 134
Erik’s POV As I lay on the mattress, I am at peace with the decision to die. I deserve it and I hope it’s not swift or painless. I deserve whatever is coming. There are no clocks in these cells so I have no way of knowing the hour. I begin to doze off eventually until I hear a voice in my cell. That’s the same voice that rang through my head in court that day, telling me judgment was upon me. I open my eyes and see a pair of purple eyes staring at me from the corner. “So it was you? Why you’re interested in these matters I don’t know but…”. She comes out of the shadows somewhat, revealing her face. Her long hair cascades down her face, framing her angelic face. “To what do I owe the honor of a visit from a Goddess?”. She’s studying me, not speaking. Finally, I relax back into the bed and lean against the wall. “My blood asked me to grant you a delicate death but I sense that isn’t what you want”. Her blood? Who would…? “Are you saying Emma is your blood

Liam’s POV Holy crap. My Luna just suggested anal to me. Kalen comes forward, “it’s natural bud, go for it”. I scowl at him, “maybe for you, you’re a dog. Besides, I don’t want to hurt her”. Wait, does this mean she’s done that before? Suddenly I feel insecure. And on cue, Emma tells me I’d be her first. Great, now my dick is impossibly hard. There’s no going back from this erection. She leads us into the bedroom and reaches for a gift bag. “Who gifted you lube?”I'm suddenly very pissed. She giggles… “no baby, it was a gag for the baby shower- it’s KY jelly. They use it for birth but um… well, I sort of googled this once like last week… cause…”. Before she could finish, I had her pinned on the bed. She laughs in between kisses, “so you’re not mad I googled it? It was a ‘how to’ but yeah, a lot of ummm interesting things came up. But I wanted to be prepared and I wanted to try this with you”. I kiss all along her mark, making her arousal thicken around me. “No ba
Orphan Luna Chapter 132
Emma’s POV As soon as Liam left, I realized I only have two hours to accomplish my plan. I reach out for Selene, praying she’s listening. “It’s sort of an emergency and I wouldn’t be contacting you if I didn’t need to”. There’s a tingling in my mind followed by, “meet me downstairs for tea”. I gently make my way downstairs, honoring the promise to my mate and doctor. I love referring to Grace as my doctor. It makes her sound so official. I see Selene sitting in a corner chair, sipping on a cup of tea. “I’m glad you’ve made yourself comfortable”, I tease. She smiles, “I’m glad to see you’re feeling better”. As I take a seat, I remember Liam screaming at her last night. “Does my feeling better have anything to do with Liam cursing you last night?”, I lift a brow questioningly. She smiles but doesn’t reply. “What is this favor you speak of?”. I grab for the second cup of tea, secretly wishing it were hot chocolate. Only when I look back at the cup, it’s cha

Michelle’s POV During recess, I let Dan and Savannah have some private time. At this point, I no longer cared about my own testimony but she was pregnant with that monster’s child… My uncle’s. How would Dan react? If roles were changed and it were me, I’m not sure Leo would be so happy. Sure he’d accept it because it wasn’t my fault but he would try and kill Erik I’m sure of it. I’m brought from my thoughts with the smell of coffee wafted under my nose. I giggle, opening my eyes to find Leo baiting me. “Don’t think too hard darling, that’s my job”. He kisses my cheek, handing me my coffee. We sit in comfortable silence for a bit, soaking up some sunlight when we’re summoned back into the courthouse. “The council has agreed after deliberation that all parties tried, are guilty of all charges laid before them”. They laid out the punishments for the lower ranked members and finally made it to Erik. “With regard to the former Alpha Regent, Erik is to be execute
Orphan Luna Chapter 130
Savannah’s POV I had been feeling extra emotional these last few days. I chalked it up to the impending trial and everything as a whole. This has been a tense time for the pack and group. Seeing Erik yesterday was overwhelming. It caused a lot of flashbacks and worsened my already bad night terrors. Dan has been such a sweetheart. He gives me plenty of space which I know is so hard for him, especially being an alpha but I know he knows I’m going through a lot. I have kept a secret calendar marking off the days since the horrid night Erik took my virginity. It’s been 45 days and no cycle. Shit. When I had been at Ruth’s house, I remember she had some pregnancy tests in her bathroom but how the hell would I get in there? What about the clinic? Would they just give me one discreetly? Dan cannot know about this. Waking up extremely early, the morning of the trial, I ran over to the hospital where I had been visiting the girls- Anna, Hannah and Bree; that Regan h
