Orphan Luna Chapter 47
**POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING** Liam’s POV I’m still baffled by Emma’s proposal to discuss her trauma. I’m not even sure what I would ask or if I even want to know. As I ponder this, she seems slightly uncomfortable and I don’t know if it’s my delay or something else. “There are things I would want to ask but once you tell me, I can’t unknow them”. Biting her lip and looking down, “I don’t want you to see me differently than you do now. I don’t want you to think less of me is all I care about”. Grabbing her face and pulling it gently to eye level, “nothing could make me love you less than I do. It’s physically impossible”. I sense her reassurance. “Let’s go climb into the bathtub”, I suggest. I wasn’t planning on probing for any information, just wanted her to be comfortable. Emma’s POV As we both slip into the tub, I’m reminded about the water incident. Where would I even start in this story? Morgan leans in, “you’ve got this Em. Your bond will grow even str

Liam’s POV I won’t lie, there were parts of that story I wanted to puke. The thought of my mate going through that was indescribable. Now is not the time to show my weakness though, I need to be strong for Emma. I pull her into me, kissing her forehead. “There are a lot of things I could say but the fact that you survived that and still accepted a mate is astounding. You are the most brave person I know”. I hadn’t really planned on crying today; definitely not this many times. I feel her small hand wiping away my tears, bringing me back to my thoughts. “Emma, I love you more than anything in the world. No one will ever hurt you again. Ever”. I feel a sense of relief through the bond. I could feel our bond was stronger than before. The only secret that remained was the continued trafficking but I wanted to wait until we weren’t so emotional to bring it up. Turning slightly so we are facing, I still felt a slight need to reassure her in every way. I knew the truth

Stupid alarm blares. Ugh, no. My mate is still cozied into me exactly where she fell asleep, I love that. I gently untangle myself to go hop in the shower when I hear, “wait for me”. A sleepy Emma trying to get untangled from the sheets and out of the giant bed. “I think that bed is bigger than a king” she adds as she trips on the sheet wrapped around her foot. “I hope our kids don’t inherit your balancing skills baby”. I give her nose a kiss. “But I do hope they inherit your good looks” and smack her butt as she walks past me. I soak up all the time in the shower with my girl. I will never get tired of watching her wash her hair. We both get dressed and head down for breakfast, suitcase in tow. I have a brief thought, wondering if she took her panties out… I hope not. The dreaded moment comes when we have to head out. Zak, Dan and his beta Matt had all eaten much earlier and had the suburban pulled forward. I don’t know if she is as forlorn as I am but she didn’t seem

Emma’s POV We spent the day baking cookies, drinking mimosas and giggling. I really do enjoy Ruth. She is so light hearted and bubbly. When the doorbell rings, she goes racing to the front door. I am so confused as to why. She comes back with a stack of magazines. “Ruth, what are those?”. She just grins. “These are wedding magazines! We’re going to start planning your wedding… eeek!”. Her happiness is contagious. “Ruth, exactly what are we planning?”. She shakes her head, “girl, there is so much you don’t know”. We head up to her suite. I’ve never been in here before. There is pink wallpaper but it is shockingly not hideous. She has black mixed in, making it look chic. Dropping the magazines on her couch, she motions for me to sit. When she returns, she hands me a rather large mimosa and drops a bunch of snacks on the table. I am already feeling kinda loopy from the earlier drinks but they are tasty. We flip through the magazines as I listen to Ruth judge di

Emma’s POV I’m shivering so painfully. I didn’t know there was such a thing as being numb to cold. Suddenly I hear arguing and the younger boy walks toward my cage. I’m so cold, I can’t really move away from him. “Come on, let’s get you warm. If I had my way you’d have proper clothes and wouldn’t be in this fucking mess”. For some reason this one was always nice to me. He never hits me, never tries to rape me… he sneaks me food and water. He is the reason I’m not dead. “Oh my stars, you are on the verge of frostbite… here, take my jacket”. He wraps his winter coat around me and settles me by the fire. I almost can’t feel the heat, my skin is numb. I’m shaking so badly, it’s uncontrollable. He always looks at me with such sad eyes. He hands me some warm liquid but I’m so cold I can’t drink it without spilling. “Hold on, let me find a straw”. I manage to sneak out, “why are you helping me?”. The boy doesn’t answer my question, instead just settles the thermos bac

Emma’s POV I head into the kitchen to grab some coffee when I hear Leo making some sort of bargain with Ruth. “Ruth, that is not the place I told him we were going. He’s going to skin my ass alive if we change plans now”. She throws her hands up, “Leo, drop him the pin. If you do this, I will have dinner with you. Paalllleaaaseee”. I see him ponder for a serious, solid minute. “FINE. But still just these two places. And you better not flake on dinner”. She brushes his cheek and I see him flush. Ruth spots me, “Hey Em! Ready for our semi girls’ day part 2?”. I just giggle at her. “So what is it we are doing exactly?”. She takes me by the elbow toward the coffee pot. “First up is pedicures followed by a surprise”. “Pedi what?”, I ask looking confused. “It’ll be a first for you and Leo both”. I turn around to a very confused Leo, “hell no! I am not gettin’ no pedicure Ruth, that wasn’t part of the deal!”. She just shrugs, “suit yourself”. We finish our coffee and h

Emma’s POV My toes looked actually really pretty and my feet have never felt so soft. I used Ruth’s facebook to send Liam a picture of my toes. His reply was hysterical, “Ruth why on earth are you showing me your toes?”... “Those are Leo’s”... “Gross!”.... “Hahahahhahaha, no they’re Emma’s. She wanted to make sure you like polish or not. They look pretty huh?” “I do like them… ON EMMA.. and remind me to get her, her own facebook”. Next, we pull up to a very elegant looking building with dresses in the windows. As we walk in, the whole staff is lined up waiting for us. What is going on? “Ruth, dearest! This must be your sister, the bride!”. I immediately feel overwhelmed by the attention and try slinking somewhat. “Oh no you don’t Emma, you get your buns over here!”. Ruth grabs me and pulls me toward the lounge area. I hear a click behind me and see Leo locking the doors behind us, strange. He stays standing by the doors. We enter this back a

Emma’s POV I am relieved to be back in my normal, everyday clothes. Apparently we have to come back for a “fitting” so they can hem the gown. I was noticeably drowning in fabric. Lacey is a very sweet woman. We say our goodbyes and Leo has gone to get the car. Ruth and I are walking arm in arm toward the parked car. Suddenly behind us there are screeching tires. I look over my shoulder, recognizing one of the cars. “Ruth, go!”. I shove Ruth toward the car, hoping Leo will grab for her. I make a dash for the car myself but am grabbed by my hair and a bag thrown over my head. I thrash harder than I have ever thrashed. I hear a man groaning and I try running, only to land on the pavement, scraping my hands and knees. I hear Ruth scream and a shuffle. Where the hell is Leo? This is all happening in slow motion. I’m dropped into what I assume is a trunk, hearing a thud followed by screeching tires. Feeling around me, I can only feel the carpet. “Mor, we are definitely

Orphan Luna Chapter 138
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
