Secrets of the Luna Chapter 179
My body ached from tossing and turning all night. It wasn’t the hard earth that crawled under me, the bite of the breeze that picked up early in the morning, or the misquotes that danced above my head. It was my nightmare that made my fears come to life. It all seemed so real. First one was Vincent shoving his hand deep into my chest. My body froze as I felt each finger wrap around my heart and squeeze. Then it was my dad…. the man that raised me, looking me in the eyes and told me he hated me. He said I was his biggest mistake before slicing my neck with a knife. Zeke made his appearance as the most real version. I was sleeping just like I was… on the ground, in the opening. He came up to my sleeping body and wrapped his hand around my neck. He watched as my fist fought for my lungs. His eyes stayed on mine until the life left them before he went back to where he was sleeping. He had laid down like he didn’t just kill me. Slipping off into a peaceful night’s sleep. The only thing t

Ethan’s hand reached out and grabbed mine. “Someone is around here.” He whispered. Vincent and Zeke also stopped walking. We were getting close, but we were still a few miles out. Ethan pulled me against him as Vincent moved around me. “SHOW YOURSELF!” Vincent growled. They were looking straight ahead into the darkness. Even Zeke had his claws out, ready to attack. Three men walked out from behind the trees. All of them were dressed in blacked out tactical gear, holding machine guns around their chest. “Identify yourself.” The one in the middle commanded. Ethan and Vincent did not like that at all. “You first.” Vincent growled. All three men drew their weapons, pointing them at us. We had power, but we were no match for guns. “Put your guns down.” A familiar voice echoed from behind them. Instantly, all three of them put their guns down and stood at attention. “Dad?” Vincent’s body relaxed as our dad stepped into view. “Took you long enough.” I was too shocked to move. Vincent

“Oh?” Rose looked taken aback.“Please know that I am not like my father at all. This is not how we operate. Don’t let him bruteness cloud your opinion on me.” Rose was quiet for a few minutes. “I try not to judge people based on the actions of another, but I must say… watching your dad carve your family crest into my mate’s back….” She didn’t need to finish that sentence. “I know. I’ll do my best to get them out of your home.” Rose walked by me and paused. She smiled and put her hand on my arm before she walked out. Ethan walked in front of me and held onto my shoulders. “Listen, we need to play this correctly. Please let me handle things. You get in the shower, and relax. I’ll be just down the hall. No one will bother you, but please make it quick.” No words would come out of my mouth. Nodding, Ethan put his hand against my cheek. He didn’t need to tell me he loved me. I could see it in his expression, swimming in the depths of his soul. Too soon, he walked out of the bedroom,

Ethan carried me outside. I could hear Vincent trying to calm everyone down, but Ethan slammed the door shut. “Grace!” He kept his hands on my arms until I steadied myself. “You can’t be taking his side!” I yelled with tears in my eyes. Ethan’s eyes searched mine before his hand turned my face. “I’m not blaming you. However, provoking him is not going to help. He is going to do things how he wants, regardless of what we want. You need to let me handle your dad. He will respect me more than he will you.” “That’s not how it should be.” “No, but you grew up with him. You know what his triggers were, but now that he isn’t an alpha anymore, it’s different.” Ethan finally let go of my face and pulled me into a hug. “Let’s just do what he wants. I’ll keep my eye out for anything that seems out of place. For now, we just need to go with the flow. I’m outnumbered here.” “Fine. Ethan, I got to tell you something.” Ethan noticed how uncomfortable and uneasy I felt. He let me go and looked

“Alright. Everyone ready?” Vincent asked. We were just now pulling up. Ethan, Vincent and I were in the back of the limo. The white blouse dad got me was more low cut than I liked. My cleavage was on displayed but I guess it would still be considered work appropriate in some places. The pencil skirt hugged everything a little too much. However, it was the red bottom shoes that made me hate the outfit the most. I felt like I was in a slutty Halloween business costume. “Do I have a choice?” I muttered. Vincent smirked as the walkie talkie came to life. “Everyone is set.” Dad’s voice echoed through the car. “10-4.” Vincent said back before tossing the walkie talkie on the seat next to him. Looking at Vincent in the eyes, I needed to find some space from him. “I don’t need you breathing down my back.” “Just focus on what you need to do.” Vincent spit out before the care came to a complete stop. His eyes locked on me. “Ready?” “As much as I’ll ever be.” Vincent opened the door before

Isaac didn’t need telling twice. His long stride didn’t take long for him to run out of his office. However, I was already working on what I needed to. Though, I had two screens open. The first one was downloading all the deleted folders. The backup hadn’t run, so there was still a shit ton of stuff sitting there. The other one was doing what my father wanted me to do. The hacker couldn’t hide from me here. “You need to give me some time.” I told Vincent as my hands flew across the keypad. “What’s up?” He walked around. Hoping he wouldn’t notice to second tab, I kept going. “I found his footprints and I need to follow him. He was in many different folders, so I am cleaning it as I go. Distract them.” Ethan walked up and put his hand on my shoulder. My body instantly relaxed into his hand. Right on cue, there was a knock on the door. “Fine.” Vincent moved away from me, allowing me to breath. Switching screens, I check the time that was left.“How long is this going to take?” Vincent

Evie POVThis whole mate thing can be very annoying at times. This time being one of them. So what if I was excited to go back to the homeless shelter? Yeah, I might have done some stuff I wasn’t exactly proud of, but I was also my own person. I could have walked away from Zach at any point, but he paid well. Sure, he was a sleaze ball and perverted. What man can’t be at some point? I might have been born into a powerful family, but that was all in the past. Something no one needed to know. Not even Travis. “Come on.” Grabbed Travis’s hand, I pulled him down the street. The wind was blowing trash around since a storm was approaching. This was good. With a storm, everyone would be staying inside. If our target was around, he would be at the shelter. “I can’t believe we are doing this.” He grumbled. “Find a different attitude. People will know you look down on them and then they won’t talk to me. These are my friends so please…” I stopped and looked at him. “…please, be nice and foll

As soon as I tried to look back, it was gone. Still, I swear it was him. “Evie?” Travis nudged me, bringing my attention back to him. He was handing my a plate of food. “Oh, thanks.” I said, taking it but my mind was still at the door. “Can you guys hang on for a second?” Without waiting for an answer, I set my plate down and practically ran to the front door. There wasn’t a plan in my head or what I was going to do when I got there, but I ran. Pushing the door open, my body flew into the street. No one was there. An empty dark street with rain filling up the low spots. The lightning occasionally showed me something new to look at. Just as I was about to turn around, headlights turned down the street. Slowly, it creeped down the street until it was across the alley. I couldn’t take my eyes off the car, but the door opened. “Ev? If you wanted to get away from him, all you have to do is ask.” Max walking out and lit a cigarette at the same time. Ignoring him, my eyes stayed locked

“CHRISTIAN!” I yelled back. He laughed, as that was our thing. Ethan set me down when we got to the top. Christian instantly wrapped his arms around my legs. “I missed you! You are getting so tall!” “Hey, sis.” Vincent walked up to me with his arm out. With my belly, I could only do a side hug these days.“How is my little nephew doing?” Vincent shook Ethan’s hand. “Very happy where he is at.” Vincent has been a little of a recluse this last year. Finding out the truth, being a full-time day and looking for a beta has kept him from coming around as often. Fortuantly, everyone has sympathized with him. They have really accepted him into our friend’s group. However, Roxie and Zoey are on a kick to find him a mate. Vincent game me a smile and scooped Christian up. “Let’s go inside or we will miss the party.” Ethan held the door for us before quickly resuming his spot next to me. The moment we walked in, my breath was caught in my throat. It was just like I imagined it to be. A larg

1 year later“Grace! We got to go! Everyone is waiting for us!” Ethan was standing at our bedroom door. “I’m COMING!” I growled back. My swollen belly was ready to pop at any moment. Our little baby boy was loving kicking his mother in the lungs so much that he refused to leave. “I can only move so fast!” “You are the most beautiful pregnant person…ever.” Ethan smiled at me as I walked out of the bedroom. The stretchy black evening gown clung to my body, really making my stomach look much skinner than I felt. From the back, you would never know I was pregnant, which confused me. My belly was very round, like a ball. “This is all your fault.” Rolling my eyes at him, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. Ethan walked over and gave me his arm. “Thank you.” “Just think…” Ethan patted my hand. “…. you get to do this many more times!” Looking up and glaring at him, “I will kick you in the nuts and end all of that.” Ethan laughed at me. I doubt anything would hurt his m

By the time we made it to the club, I had taken a few more shots, and the buzz was going. The club was bouncing. Music could be heard from outside. There was a line down the sidewalk and neon lights were flashing all around. This was the vibe that I was hoping for. “Ethan, I want to check on the computers. With everyone here, I haven’t actually got to see it yet and I want to check it.” I had to shout since the music was so loud and we weren’t even inside. “Grace, you are a little drunk….” Ethan raised his eyebrows at me. “Please? I’m not going to touch it. Just want to make sure it’s okay.” Grabbing his arm, I put on my most pathetic face I could.” “Fine…” Ethan rolled his eyes, but smirked. Wrapping his arm around me, he lead the way inside. “Callie, get everyone situated with drinks. We will catch up.” Ethan instantly lead me away to his office. It was more packed than I had ever seen it. Granted, I had only been here like three times, but this was packed. More than once, we g

“What do you have that is the best with crab?” Theresa thought for a moment. “Try the crab trio. There are three different ways crab is cooked. I think one is the crab alfrado, a mushroom stuffed crab and just steamed crab legs with a pepper, garlic butter to dip it in.” “That sounds perfect.” “Great. Would you like your legs already de-shelled?” “Yes, please.” I said right as the guys came back. “I’ll have a crab cake, please.” Jolene smiled at Theresa. Theresa returned the smile. “For you two?” She looked at them. “Seafood fried roll.” Ethan sighed and downed his drink. “I got another round coming.” She said instantly. Ethan nodded and put his arm back around me. “What did Vincent say?” I asked Ethan in the mind-link, so I didn’t hear what Nox, Stella or Rif ordered. “Well, turns out they were all people that went missing states away. None were from the same state, but they were all scholars in hacking or something cyber. Vincent thinks Zach or Derek had placed them there

Just as Ethan stood up, we arrived at the restaurant. I couldn’t help the sly smile that spread across my face before bitting my lower lip. “Let’s go,” Ethan said before clearing his throat. He gave me a little nudge to get off the bus. “Where are we?” I asked as I stepped off. Ethan was quick behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist. “This is one I have wanted to bring you to since I met you. It’s a very upscale seafood place. I know your favorite food is crab and I think they will have what you want here.” Ethan smiled down at me.“I love this place!” Callie squealed. “Their lobster is absolutely amazing!” “I’ve never been here!” Zoey grabbed Leo’s hand, and they started the train to the front doors. “We have a reservation. It’s under Boone.” Callie yelled from the back. By the time we walked in, the hostess walked off from the front. Zoey turned and smiled at us. I couldn’t help but look around. There was a massive sword fish mounted on the wall. The lighting was low, dark

After the house burnt down, we had to transport everyone back to their respected packs. However, all of our friends had to come back one last time to our pack and gather their belongings. Since they were already here, we had one last night together. Ethan set up a romanic evening that ended with everyone at the club for a night of dancing. All the girls were in my bedroom getting dressed. Callie had on a champain squence colored dress. It volumized her breast with a completely open back and only strings tolding it up. Her ass was about to hang out, but she looks amazing.Zoey had on a similar colored dress, but the top was more of a bra. Her stomach was open to a skirt that sinched at the side. Roxie was wearing a scarlett red dress. With long sleeves, the top was just enough fabric to cover her tits. It was an open stomach, but one side went down to a skirt that went to her calf. The other side had a slit that went to her hip, completely exposing her very toned legs. Stella was wea

Vincent turned and looked at us. “Let’s go home.” He whispered and walked past us. Christian was clinging to Vincent like his life depended on it. “Keep your eyes closed, bud.” He said as he walked out of the house. We all followed him. The battle was over and our warriors were collecting the dead. In the front was Derek’s body, Zach and Adaline. There was a rather large pile of men off to the side and a more respectible line of men that were ours. Leo was barking order with Damon, but Stella caught my attention. She was standing over Derek’s body with tears running down her face. Walking out of Ethan’s arms, I came up to Stella. She met my eyes before looking down again. “W-what happened?” I hesitated before speaking. I wasn’t sure how this was going to impact our friendship. Though it had already been rocky as it was. “Grace?” Rif walked up behind Stella. Putting a hand around his waist, he nodded. “Whatever it is, just tell us.” I knew I had everyone’s attention at this point.

Grabbing a lock of hair, I twisted it in my fingers. “You know Vincent, she used Derek’s weakness and let him believe for three years that he betrayed you.” Vincent’s hand wrapped around his neck. He squeezed hard enough to make her hurt but not enough to stop the breathing. “What should I do? Kill her or put her in my dungeon to years’ worth of torture?” “I’m sorry! I can turn my life around and be the mother that Christian deserves. I only ever wanted to be a mate to you.” She batted her eyelashes at Vincent. His grip tightened around her neck. “Nothing I do will be enough. It won’t be enough to vengue Derek, my dad or the years of head games you put on our son that I’ll have to fix.” Tighter, he squeezed until his hand started shaking. “I regret ever sleeping with you, ever touching you, or even meeting you. The only good thing in my life is Christian. I’m going to take your body and make a mockery of it. You will be an example of what it means to cross me. I’m more powerful than
Secrets of the Luna Chapter 293
Ethan, Vincent, and I just stared at her with our mouths hanging open. “Derek thought he betrayed Vincent. He did everything to keep Vincent out of danger and keep his kid safe and you were playing him.” My anger was rising as her words sank in. “You let Derek live with this weight on him for years.” Adaline shrugged. “Who is Derek to me?” She mirrored those words, knowing it was going to get under my skin. “Now, my child is an heir to not only the mafia family, but to a very powerful wolf pack and a blood relative to a very profitable security business.”“You never wanted me to create a program. All this was a lie to get the three of us here.” The truth came crashing down on me.Marco pointed his gun at me. “You are a very hard person to get ahold of. I told Zach to kidnap you by any means needed. He almost got you fucking killed. I’m happy you survived, but yes, however, Ethan was only part of it because he mated to you. I just wanted Vincent and you.” “Your dad was incredibly ann
