Secrets of the Luna Chapter 21
Rif was trying not to laugh. “Thank you for that, Stella, and I wouldn’t call it a panic attack. I merely became unsteady on my feet.” “You are afraid of flying?” Damon asked, also trying to hide his smile.“Okay, first off, wolves are not supposed to be in the sky. Second, I wasn’t afraid of flying. It’s the five minutes I have to think about how my body is going to break you when I hit the ground.” “I think I can order a blow-up doll for you to cuddle if that will help?” Rif stopped trying to hide his laughter. I stood up and glared at Rif. “Yeah, well, you are afraid of the water! I bet you don’t even get into the ocean!” Rif stopped laughing. “Hey! That is so different!”“Does baby Rif need floaties to get by this morning?”“OKAY!” Alpha James yelled.“See, we could never be mates.” I said to Stella as I angrily stomped off as I heard her laugh. Callie and Natalia walked into the kitchen as I was about to hit the door. “What’s going on?” Callie looked at the laughing table an

“Here.” Callie handed me a chair as she set up hers. They were the old school folding lawn chairs that required you to fold completely before laying it completely flat and then raise it to your desired height. If you went too far, you started over. Laying a towel on it, I was about to sit down when Callie yelled. “No! You need to get wet first. Take a quick dip so when they come, you are more attractive.” We heard the sounds of the other carts. “Hurry up!” Rolling my eyes. I took my slip off and did as she asked. My nerves were high, as I only went in far enough and then sat down. The water felt amazing, but I was done being in it. Walking out, I was able to lay down and adjust myself as more people arrived. Lifting one leg up, I raised one hand above my head. My chair was raised just enough that I wasn’t flat.“You girls got out here fast.” Travis said as he laid out his towel.“I wanted to soak up all the sun.” I said, without looking at him. “I’ll get the drinks in the shade, bu

“Doubtful, an alpha female isn’t going to mate with anyone other than an alpha or beta. You know that.”“I just hate leaving you like this.” “Stella, you need to focus more on your new life. You are going to kill it being a Luna and I need you to give Rif hell for me.”“But...”“No buts, I’m a big girl and I just want you to be happy. You deserve it. This is everything you have ever wanted.” “We better get going.” Axon was standing with Natalia beside him.“Okay. Will you be there to say bye?” Stella asked me.“Of course. I’ll be there to eat lunch.” I said.“I need to head back as well. Conner has something to do for dad and I have to meet with some finance person.” Travis said with a sigh.“Okay, see you all!” Callie said as she and Damon laid down in the towels. Everyone was gone except for us four. I could finally speak freely and not try to cover things up. “Callie, your dumbass brother thinks I need to go on a date tonight.” “Oh, where are you guys going?”“What? You’re supp

“Oh um, maybe if it was anyone else but Rif and Grace have been like brother and sister for years. I wasn’t as close to Rif, but I grew up with him too. There has been nothing romantic between them. Completely friendship.”“She isn’t lying. He is like my brother.” I shrugged as Rif nodded.“We fight like cats and dogs. I’ve never thought of her that way,” Rif said as lunch was being served. They put a variety of cold cut sandwiches on the table with different fruits, pastas and chips. “Oh good! We aren’t late!” Callie came running up with Damon. “Now that we are all here, let’s eat!” Alpha John said.“How long is your flight?” I asked Rif.“Three hours.” Rif swallowed his food. “Not bad, but I did order that doll for you.” Grabbing a chip, I tossed it at him. “Kids!” Alpha James was trying not to laugh.“He started it!” I said in my defense. I could feel Ethan’s gaze on me from across the table. I tried hard to ignore him.“Travis, I guess you’re off on the bodyguard on shopping.”“

“What do you mean?” I asked.“You seemed distracted at the restaurant and just overly on edge.”“Yeah.” I didn’t really have an answer to that. “As much as I love you all, but can you please drop it and let us figure out whatever there is to figure out? I’d rather not have an audience.”“I suppose, but being as you are our future Luna, I can’t promise we won’t be protective.” Travis said.“Exactly. We can’t lose another one.” Kyle said, looking at the ground. “Everyone leave so I can speak with Grace alone.” Ethan demanded.I could see a few wanted to argue, but didn’t as they walked inside. “I’m sorry I blindsided you.”“What the fuck was that? What happened to not telling anyone?” I was back to being angry.“I saw how quick you were to hug Rif and I didn’t like it. I knew the only way to keep others away is to publicly claim you. I still have shit to work on, but this way, everyone knows you’re mine.” Ethan just stood there, looking at me. “At what point do you stop thinking abou
Secrets of the Luna Chapter 26
“Fuck yeah!” Callie let go of Damon’s hand and helped wrapped it around my body.“What do you think, Damon? Will this piss him off?”“That will do the trick.” Damon said with complete boredom. “Go try it on.” Callie pushed me towards the changing room. “Just one?” A lady asked, looking at my hands.“Yeah.” Grabbing a one number, she walked to me a room and unlocked it for me, before walking away.Not sure why I was nervous, but I got undressed and put the dress on. Obviously, I needed a different bra, but it was amazing. The rhinestone halter top straps came to the side, and the top was tighter. There was extra fabric that bunched just below all my cleavage. Staying tight, the left side split open at the top of my hip. Four rhinestone straps held the fabric together that angled just over the important parts. The strappy heels would be perfect with this dress.“Grace? I got more dresses for you!” Callie yelled. Opening the door, I walked out to show her.“Fuck....” Callie’s eyes went

“Great!” Callie handed him his card as she got down. Ethan held out his hand for me to jump down. Without thinking, I took his hand and jumped. The sparked startled me, making me quickly pull my hand back. “Here are your bags.” Callie went to hand me my bags, but Ethan took them first. “What did you all get?” He asked.“Not real sure. Callie did most of the shopping.” I said as we all walked into the pack house.“Well, then you probably got a brand new closet.” Ethan sighed as the elevator dinged.“What are you guys doing tonight?” I asked Callie and Damon.“We will probably eat somewhere and then go to the club to meet you guys.” “Probably won’t be very busy,” Ethan said, looking at his watch.“Got somewhere to be? We can reschedule.” I said, looking at Ethan.“Good try. We are going to have dinner. I was just looking at how much time till we needed to leave.”“How long till that is?”“You got an hour.” “That is just long enough. I’ll need to do your hair,” Callie said.“Sure, wh

“What was that about?” Ethan asked as he held the door for me. I guess we are taking a challenger tonight.“I would tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.” I said and winked at him before getting in the car. Ethan shut the door and walked around. “Is that so?” He lifted an eyebrow at me as he sat down and started the car. “Yes, sir.” “I could command my beta to just tell me.” Ethan gave me a look as he drove off. “What is this place called?” I asked, trying to change the subject. “La Pergola.” Ethan said. I was looking out the window when I felt his finger slipped under my chin and turned my face towards him. The look in his eyes caused me to stop breathing. “You look amazing tonight.” His finger rubbed one cheek before going under my chin and stroking the other side. “Th-thank you.” I said when I was able to gather myself. “What do you want to do tomorrow?” Ethan asked, keeping a conversation going.“Callie and I want to get tattoos.”“Oh, really?” The surprise was clear. “W

“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
Secrets of the Luna Chapter 297
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.
Secrets of the Luna Chapter 294
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
