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

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
Orphan Luna Chapter 137
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
Orphan Luna Chapter 136
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
Orphan Luna Chapter 135
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
Orphan Luna Chapter 133
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
Orphan Luna Chapter 131
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
