Orphan Luna Chapter 32
“Here kitty, kitty kitty”. I open my eyes as best I can and see that vile creature Ezekiel, as I’ve heard him called, heading for my cage. I can’t run or hide anywhere. I just try to make myself as small as humanly possible. What could he possibly want now? Just a few hours ago he was with us. He has a long leather whip in his hand and trails it along the bars making me shiver. It is below freezing outside and I have nothing but this thin blanket. He swings the door open and goes to grab for my hair. I wake up screaming, drenched in sweat. I shoot up to a sitting position to hug my knees. Liam jolts to attention, “baby, shhh… it’s okay. You had a nightmare”. He starts gently rubbing my back when he feels the scars. Tears begin rolling down my face silently. “It wasn’t just a nightmare Liam, I was reliving hell”. I could feel him examining the scars that he’d somehow never noticed before. I feel him shift up so he’s leaning back against the headboard and gently pulls me into
Orphan Luna Chapter 33
“Morgan, I am honored that you chose me as your human… host, as it were. But why me?”. Our eyes close and I’m transported back to a petrified me, back in the woods. I was on the brink of death, bleeding faster than I could recover between beatings. A calmness comes over my face, leaning my head back. “You were ready to die and did not fear your fate but you would not give them the satisfaction of making it too easy. Your spirit, your rigor… you are me in human form my love”. Liam and Lee are watching as we communicate internally. “What is she saying, what is Emma saying?”. “Emma is an exceptional warrior, all on her own. She wanted to know why I chose her. I showed her. Nothing breaks her spirit, her resolve. This cannot be taught or captured”. I felt a pang of love at her words. I cannot believe the goddess of battle chose me. Turning to face Liam, “let Kalen come forward”. Liam thinks for a second before his eyes change to their black stones. “There you are my love”.
Orphan Luna Chapter 34
Emma’s POV The day is spent working on finding suitable housing arrangements for pack members, getting some medical care and compiling a list of missing members. Five o’clock, holy crap. I yawn and look around to find Liam. He must be in a different building, helping settle some people. As I walk around the corner to leave, I bump straight into one of Dan’s pack members. “Oh my, excuse me! I was not watching where I was going”. The man has suspicious eyes. Not bowing to me, “Luna, the pleasure is mine”. I find it odd that he doesn’t bow considering it is customary. He seemed completely unphased by my rank and station. Not that I expected people to bow but most of the members, especially male, were eager to bow when I was coming. Pulling me from my suspicion, “How long have you been Luna of Broken Mt. Pack?”. A very odd question, one that no one would think or care about. “Emma get away from this man”, Morgan warns me. I begin walking in my original direction.
Orphan Luna Chapter 35
Liam’s POV Leaning back I take a big breath. What time is it? Oh crap it’s after 7pm. Wait, where’s Emma? I have been in and out of meetings all day with Danny and various other warriors, trying to figure out what we do or don’t have regarding intelligence. I walk back toward the house when Grace comes rushing over, “we can’t find Emma”. I immediately race toward the swing out back. She isn’t there. Dammit. I stop, turning inward when Kalen steps forward. “I smell her scent Liam but not close”. I let him guide us, using his senses. When suddenly, she comes walking out from the woods. Alone. “Emma, what on earth are you doing out here?”. She looks scared, “I am so sorry. I lost track of time. I was talking with Morgan and well, we…”. I wrap my arms around her. “It’s ok, just please mindlink me when you are going somewhere”. She probably thought I was supremely clingy when in reality, we don’t know how rogues are capturing pack members. Wandering off in dark woods,
Orphan Luna Chapter 36
Liam’s POV The kitchen is buzzing with members who had joined our small run when Emma and I enter. Grace has a massive batch of hot cocoa on the stove which of course lights Emma’s face up when she notices. I will never look at whip cream the same way again. I smile internally knowing our little secret. I pull the chair out for my love as she is practically drooling, watching Mom pour her cocoa. “Can we talk about how Morgan is nearly the size of Kalen?”. She is busy licking the whipped cream from the top when she realizes I asked her a question. Seeing her lick the whipped cream drew an urge within me but among company, it will stay as an urge. Emma could sense my thoughts and started licking it more seductively. “Stop it Emma”, I tickle her side slightly. “But seriously, Morgan is beautiful”. Without picking her eyes up off her cocoa, “she wants me to tell you that Kalen was extra handsome this evening”. I can feel Kalen shake with a sense of confidence. “Easy
Orphan Luna Chapter 37
Fred’s POV After running into Liam’s Luna, I knew there was something familiar about her. Pulling up the photo Ezekiel had messaged out to his scouts, ‘yep, that is her’. She looks healthier, more filled out but definitely the same eyes. Dialing as quickly as I can, “Boss, I found her. Yeah, that one. You’ll never guess where she’s been. Luna of Broken Mt. Pack!”. Ezekiel had some sort of vendetta or something for this one. He doesn’t usually get attached like this but he has been searching for her since she left the compound. “Fred, get in touch with Aiden. You are going to need a team on this one”. I smirk, knowing the best news has yet to be dropped. “Ezekiel, if I play the cards right and wait maybe a week at most, I can get you the Luna and the Alpha’s younger sister. She is a virgin.. Will sell for five times as much. Besides, I overheard Dan saying something about an alpha summit. I think Liam might leave the den here soon”. “Very well, be smart about it. I d
Orphan Luna Chapter 38
Emma’s POV I didn’t realize how tired I was until I made it to our suite. I briefly thought about not showering but I am pretty sure there’s mud caked on my legs… yep, there sure is. I will never take warm water for granted. I just stand there, soaking up the warmth until I realize I am about to fall asleep in the shower. I get ready for bed, “where’s Liam?”. Well, more bed for me. Morgan giggles, “Em, I am beat. Let’s sprawl out”. Doing as I’m told, I take up as much room across the bed as I can, which still isn’t even half of the bed. This is the life. It could have only been a few minutes later, Liam sneaks in trying not to wake me. “I’m awake Liam, you can make noise”. He strolls over, assessing our current utilization of the bed. “You look comfortable”. He leans down, kissing my cheek and whispers to me that he’s going to shower. If I weren’t so tired, I would totally be in there with him. I can’t muster the energy to move my limbs. Liam takes a very q
Orphan Luna Chapter 39
Liam’s POV The rest of the week has been consumed by settling more pack queries. Emma stayed busy helping mom in the med tent. Merging the packs hasn’t been the smoothest transition but I would say it’s going fairly smooth. “Dan, did Erik decide on an official date for the summit?”. Dan was busy scanning the list of missing pack members. “Oh, yeah. Sorry. He wants us there Tuesday if possible”. He is clearly busy with pack matters, but 4 days to plan our trip is cutting it a little tight, considering how busy everyone is. He senses my annoyance when he apologizes for the short time frame. “I don’t understand why we have to go to him, Dan. Why can’t we have a more central location, one for the majority of the packs”. He just nods in agreement and shrugs. “Where is mate Liam?”. Good question, Kalen. It has been all morning since I’ve seen her. Emma’s POV Grace has taken me in as her protege. I didn’t have much medical knowledge but I was able to help ke
