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

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

It has been a long day so I suggest we have dinner brought to our suite. Emma was more than agreeable except she did have to stop for her cocoa. “I wonder what you’ll crave when you’re pregnant”. I meant to think that internally but it sort of slipped out. “When I’m pregnant? Is this something you’re planning on soon?”. She just looked at me confused. It dawned on me, “umm baby, do you know how babies are made?”. I deserved the slap she gave me on the chest. “Of course I know how they’re made”. I look at her and pause, wait a second.. “Do you know how they’re prevented?”. She gave me a look of confusion, “you mean, not having sex?”. Oh boy. Maybe Grace needs to have ‘the talk’ with her. “Well baby, when two people have a lot of sex like we do and they don’t use protection or birth control, pregnancy is a possibility”. I could see the wheels turning, “what is protection?”. Oh shit. Does this mean she doesn’t want a pup? Or does this mean her experiences before were unp

Emma’s POV I wake up from a very peaceful sleep by permeating nausea. I have to race to the bathroom to make it to the toilet in time, retching up last night’s dinner. “Baby, are you ok?” Liam flicks on the bathroom light. “Ugh.. french fries are not good coming back up”. He pulls my hair back and is gently rubbing my back until another wave hits and hits hard, oh god… there goes the cocoa. I sit by the toilet until I am positive I have nothing left in me. “Do you feel sick Liam? Was it something I ate?”. He squats down behind me and leans me gently back into his chest. “No baby, I feel okay”. He puts his hand on my forehead, “you do feel a little warm. You’re staying in bed today”. He guides me to the living room sofa and wraps me in a fluffy blanket. “Hold tight my love, I’m going to get you some seltzer water”. God, this nausea is intense. “Mor, how are you feeling?”. I can feel her crawling forward, “I don’t feel fantastic. What did you eat?”. Were we poison
Orphan Luna Chapter 42
Fred’s POV Incoming text… “what day is their alpha leaving town?”. I may have let slip that Liam was leaving town, hence leaving his Luna alone. As I look at my bandaged arm, I feel a pang of guilt. No one has ever been that nice to me, especially not a Luna. I’ve never really belonged anywhere. My wolf Beau chimes in, “stop feeling sorry for yourself. You told us this was the last job so we can get out of this line of work once and for all”. Beau turns his eye to my side jobs. Ever since our mate died, we’ve been somewhat depressed but needed money. We sort of got looped into this work. Beau agreed to do it on one condition, that we were only involved in the catching part but nothing further. We don’t exactly like this job and I have started to feel more like a member in Dan’s pack. He’s been so good to us, even though we lied from the get-go. “Yes Beau, as promised, last job”. Part of me wanted to blow the whole thing off. Luna has been nothing but nice to me
Orphan Luna Chapter 43
We managed to get through three Disney movies before I start yawning uncontrollably. I still hadn’t eaten anything today but actually heard my stomach rumble. I’m about to go check our kitchen for a snack when I hear the doorbell. Opening it, it’s an omega with a tray including two bowls and some chunks of bread. “Mmm this smells yummy, thank you!”. She smiled and left. I’m slightly terrified I’ll drop this but manage to make it to the coffee table with it. Liam has been in the bathroom, “oh no way. Mom made chicken noodle”. I sniff the air, “is that what this is? It smells amazing”. Oh and it is delicious. Apparently Grace makes homemade soups that are to die for. My tummy is satisfied. Being slightly scared it might come up if I lay down, I decided to take a bubble bath. Apparently Liam read my mind because he had already started it for me, complete with candles around the tub. He walks up behind me and puts his arms around me. “You soak for a bit. I’m gonna go check in

Entering the apartment, it’s entirely too quiet in here. The bathroom door is still closed. Opening the door, it stops part way with a thud. SHIT! I squeeze through the opening and our mate is passed out on the floor in her towel. I drop to my knees as fast as I can muster and turn her over. She is still breathing. Linking mom, “get up here now and bring your bag”. Grace is there within seconds it seems. “Her blood pressure is extremely low Liam, I need to start an IV”. Carrying our unconscious mate to the bed, mom runs down the hall and back with her IV supplies. Starting the IV doesn’t even stir Emma. “Mom?”. She just breaths and smiles at me, “son, take a deep breath… it’s going to be fine”. She’s right, I am starting to feel panicked. I grab her hand, holding it to my mouth. I feel a finger twitch and then another. “Baby, Emma… wake up sweet heart”. I gently touch her cheek. “What happened?”, she musters. Just as she’s processing her surroundings, she panics at t
Orphan Luna Chapter 45
I made it through the night with no more episodes of fainting. Grace decided to leave the IV in my arm even after the fluid was done which I wasn’t thrilled about. Something about quicker access if I need more medications. Whatever medication she gave me for my nausea last night, knocked me out hard! I turn over to the clock on the bedside, it’s already 9 a.m. Feeling beside me, Liam isn’t in bed so I check my phone, “baby, I’m in the office getting ready for our trip. Text me when you wake up”. After letting him know I’m awake, I question trying to walk after yesterday’s shenanigans. Before I commit, “Mor, you feeling better?”. She seems more chipper, “sure am… those meds did the trick”. I feel so much better about walking, knowing my wolf is better also. Something about clumsy feet and tripping hazards. As I start heading for the bathroom, Liam comes running over. “Baby, you should’ve waited for me. What if you fainted again?”. “Yeah well, what if I had wet the

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

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

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
