Orphan Luna Chapter 76
Dana’s POV When the encampment was attacked, I rounded up as many women as I could and led them north into the woods. I didn’t know who the attackers were and I couldn’t ensure their safety with those men. I watched from the trees though as Ian went with a woman into a helicopter and flew with this group south. I knew that if Ian went with them willingly, we could follow them to safety. Over the following week, we watched from a distance as vans came and collected the remaining women. They brought with them food, water, medicine and medical personnel but I still was apprehensive about following them into the unknown. The camp was finally emptied. We returned to salvage what we could but had nothing of substance to rely on. Winter is approaching and with children amongst us, I needed to find a real solution. I decided to hike south and find where Ian had gone. Leaving the group, I headed by myself until I came to a pack border about twenty miles away. I observed w

Emma’s POV It’s been a few days now since I’ve been allowed to leave the hospital. Liam won’t let me out of his sight, not even for a few minutes! I feel like a burden more than anything. Half the time I’m just sleeping so I don’t feel like I need a babysitter. He’s moved his desk into our apartment so he can get pack work done and be near me. He’s still convinced that somehow, some of this is still his fault which is ridiculous. If I’m not sleeping, I feel like a science experiment. Grace is constantly checking vitals and asking me questions. She’s trying not to take unnecessary blood right now so I can build up my strength. For some reason, we can’t figure out what this baby wants to eat though. I throw everything up or just can’t stomach anything, it’s bizarre. I feel completely useless. I just sit around or sleep. I wake up from one of my many naps when I overhear Zak talking to Liam about the housing projects. They’re talking about different ideas and s

Ruth’s POV The rest of the day I spent showing Emma around the pavilion and introducing her to all of the families. Liam finally, after much convincing, allowed her to come with me and Ian to the project sites so she could see the buildings we were erecting for real apartment buildings and family homes. Seeing the sheer happiness on her face, free of worry and pain could almost make you forget what happened just two weeks ago. How Emma could push past all of her suffering so painlessly just astounds me. A pair of arms wraps around my waist, pulling me from my thoughts. “Penny for your thoughts, beautiful”. Ian has been so patient with me. He hasn’t once mentioned mating or marking. It’s come across my mind a few times. Sure we’ve made out a few times but we’ve been so damn busy settling all of these families and to be honest, it feels selfish to even think of my own desires. “It just blows my mind how selfless and strong Luna is”. He smiles, following

Liam’s POV Fuck! I flip over my desk, sending papers all over the place. I was supposed to protect her, was supposed to keep her from getting hurt and I didn’t. How am I supposed to do that if she doesn’t do what I say or doesn’t allow me to take care of her? I collapse on the floor with my head in my hands, in frustration. I feel the couch dip behind me and Emma’s scent surrounds me. Her arms wrap around my neck and legs wrap around my torso. “Shh… it’s okay baby”. She kisses the top of my head and gently strokes my hair. I know Ruth was right but I didn’t want her to be, I didn’t want to hear it. “Baby, there’s no fault in loving me as fiercely as you do. You are my alpha. You only know how to be dominant. There is no fault in that”. I listen as she consoles me. “You know my weaknesses. You know I’m stubborn. I forget to eat, I push myself too hard. You know me better than other people do. For these things I love you so much. You fill in the gaps where I fail.

Zak’s POV I prayed to Selene last night for the first time in a while. I never thought I’d have a second chance mate. To be honest, I never thought I could love after I lost my wife and son. I’m conflicted. The thought of loving again and being loved would be a blessing. For now, the only feelings I can feel from the ‘mate bond’ that is barely existent is fear, insecurity and… anger? I think. So I’m giving her a lot of space. I have been checking on her from a distance today. I’m drawn to Dana like a moth to a flame but obviously she’s been hurt… a lot. I also don’t want to become attached only for her to turn around and decide to leave. It would be easier to stay distant if that is her decision. So, I decided it’s best for me to keep away from the pavilion as much as possible. I ask Dan to run things as much as he can there and I opt to work on warrior assignments and anything else I can away from there. He eyed me warily at my request, but understands I think. I

Dana’s POV It was midday and I had tried keeping busy all day. I kept expecting to run into Zak all day which kept me nervous. I didn’t know if I was ready to have a mate. I don’t trust men obviously but more than that, I grew up an orphan and a pack slave. My ‘mate’ and pack knowledge is limited to observation. The pack I grew up in, well let’s just say they weren’t model citizens. I’m helping some of the younger children with an activity when I overhear one of the older she wolves ask about Zak. “Say Dan, where’s Zak today? He’s always here”. He chuckles and I swear I saw him glance at me. “Yeah, he’s got a lot of pack duties to keep up with and I guess he’s got warrior duties today”. Annie chimes in, “he’s probably avoiding our crazy ass since you fucking stabbed him you jerk!”. Annie has been fuming with me today. “Annie, how many times do I have to say ‘sorry, not sorry’ for stabbing someone I didn’t know was our mate. Besides, what’s so damn special about a

Zak’s POV My wolf Beteo hasn’t laughed this hard in quite some time. “Come on girls, keep up the pace”, I yell at the warriors. “Zak, we’ve only run 6 miles, why are they so slow”, he chides. I just shake my head. “Beteo… I do not know but I will be having a nice long chat with Leo here in the near future. This is damn sad”. We finally make it back to the training grounds. They fall over as if they’re dying. “Wow- you guys do know this is warm up yeah?”. I grab my water bottle, taking a small sip. I hear a lot of complaining. “If you have room to complain, you aren’t tired enough. Up, let’s go”. Beteo starts laughing… “make em do pull ups, then they’ll really like ya”. Beteol has always been a bit of a jock and a show off, unlike me but it’s kept us in good shape I suppose. A few of the guys are panting as if they’re drowning. “Josh man, what the hell? Does Leo not make you move at all? What is wrong with you lot? This is embarrassing. Pretty sure Ruth is in bett

Dana’s POV “For starters, I thought I’d address the notion of what a ‘second chance’ mate is. I’ve always hated that term. It makes it seem like somehow our love will be ‘less than’ or sub par. For wolves, most are only granted one mate in their lifetime. Some, are blessed with two. Somehow this is the ‘phrase’ that was come up with. It sucks if you ask me”. His explanation, I like. “But I want you to know, you are no less special. You are my mate Dana, my only mate. Don’t you forget that”. His words make my heart swell. I can feel my eyes watering. I feel a burst of courage. Leaning forward, I quickly peck his cheek. “Thank you for that Zak. I needed to hear that. I uh, I was internally thinking I was somehow damaged goods and maybe not good enough to be a ‘primary’ mate or something”. He rubs the spot I just kissed, “it’s still buzzing”, he says smiling like a school boy. “And absolutely not. You are my mate. None of this ‘second’ anything ok?”. I nod, happy

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
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

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
