THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter Eleven
The sun sank in casting a warm golden glow on the forest clearing. Men and women stood around in groups chatting and gossiping. I stood to the far left under a tree i found earlier silently observing the pack members as they mingled and laughed with each other. The voices of children racing and playing with themselves carried on the breeze. The flickering of yellow and blue flames cast oddly shaped dancing shadows on the ground.The annual bonfire was here."Gee-gee!" A small, familiar voice broke through the noise.I looked around or the voice and a smile spread out on my face,my heart warming as i saw Little Cece run toward me. Her head of black unruly curls bouncing up and down, her bright eyes wide with excitement.Bending down I opened my arms, and Cece ran into them in a hug. “Hi, Cece,” i said softly, brushing a strand of hair away from the her face. “What’s wrong?”She pulled back and pointed toward the gathering with a small frown. “Too loud,” she murmured, barely audible goin

The faint aroma of smoke that mixed with the comforting scent of pine and damp earth grounded me in the moment. Little Cece and her father were having a picnic and somehow here I was sitting a tablecloth in the middle of the forest battling soldier ants. I still don’t know how I got talked into this.An owl called in the distant and it echoed through the forest, duly reminding that the world beyond the fire was still wild and untamed. The evening had settled into a quiet calm, the warmth of the fire crackled softly as the night deepened. The stars scattered in little shining dots overhead, bright and clear against the pink sky, creating a serene atmosphere. I sat beside Alpha Elijah and Cece, who nestled herself comfortably in my lap, her small hand clutching the wooden wolf toy she never seemed to let go of.Alpha Elijah stirred the fire with a long stick, his jaw set in that firm, commanding way I was used to. The air of authority around him made it clear he was the Alpha. But toni

Aegis's Point Of ViewThe heat of the fire barely got to me, as I stood crossing my hand across my chest. I shook my head at a pesky mosquito intent of singing to me as I looked over the entire thing from my chosen corner.Soft humming of voices and the occasional sound of happy laughter filled the air as the evening blue and yellow flamed fire burned steadily at the center of the clearing The Pack Bonfire was here again. They were having so much fun together and it made me feel a bit jealous but had always been more comfortable on the outskirts, observing them rather than participating.The only difference tonight was that my mind felt more clouded than usual. With thoughts of Alpha Elijah. That man was confusing me. From the way he looked at me to the lingering touches he left on my skin, to the way he was able to make my heart jump when I least expected it. I knew couldn’t let anything happen between us. He was an Alpha- a goodlooking one but one regardless and I was simple old me.

Wiping the soap suds o my hand against a kitchen towel furiously, I turned to the handsome devil in front of me. “I can’t be what you want me to be Alpha Elijah.” It’s being a whole month of Alpha Elijah ruthlessly chasing after me in frenzied acts of romance and seduction and I was about tired of it all. Take for example today. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and he decides he wants to do all of his Alpha duties here today . He had created a workplace made of a kitchen table ridiculously close to the sink. Why yo might ask- He wanted to be closer to me. The man was trying to drive me nuts.He looked up and pulled his brows together in amused confusion, “Whatever do you mean?”.Seeing the pointed look in my eyes, he sighed and stood up fro his makeshift desk. “Aegis,I’m not asking you to be anything but yourself. I’m not asking you to change…….”“Just stop already!” i snapped. “ You can’t fix me okay. I’m broken. Damaged. And yet here you are, acting like you can just love me en

Aegis's Point Of View.“Gee-gee” The little girl squealed happily as she raced past me. My heart softened as the sight of the joy on the little Cece's face as she chased after the other pups with a wide smile on her face. The Pack kindergarten space was a large grassy area that smelt like Pine, thatch and wet earth with little brown thatch huts around it in a circular fence. The sun had dipped low behind the hills, painting the horizon in shades of purple and gold as the last rays filtered through the thick forest surrounding the kindergarten. It was a very nice touch, I’ll admit. This pack clearly loved their children because I had ever seen anything like this before. But then again they didn’t have parents like mine.Children raced all around, some playing pretend houses in the huts, some painting weird looking childish paintings, some drawing and pushing their friends on swings more than heavy for their little bodies.There was one thing constant here- Laughter and joy. This place

I could almost see his head rolling across the giant conference table. A head rolling across the entire room before being turned to its inevitable form_dust. Elijah was about to kill Elias. Okay maybe I’m being dramatic but Elijah was mad mad. I now understood why Elijah was so particular about me being here. His constant almost wary insistence that I babysit Cece in the conference room today totally made sense now. She calmed him down enough that he wasn’t responsible for murder today, his words not mine. I finally got sworn in as an official member of the pack. Yayy I know. Elijah had been rather smug about it, scratch that he loved it.A small smile crept on his face at my line of thought. Oh did I forget to tell you. Being connected to the entire pack meant they had 24/7 access to your thoughts and feelings at every moment, well until you block them out that is. And lord knows I wanted to block out a certain big headed handsome Alpha out tonight but I have a feeling he would compl

Sobs racked through my body. Giving up on someone hurt so much. Why was i never enough for anyone? "You don’t have to be strong all the time," Elijah whispered, his thumb brushing the tears fro my face to my jawline.“I just.. I can’t. He didn't want me. He never did. Am I that awful?“No baby. Never think that. You’re awesome, He’s a jerk”“ I can feel my wolf’s pain Elijah, I…I…I don’t know what to do.”“You pick yourself back up again. It gets better love. I promise you. Please stop crying”.We were back at the pack house. It’s been a whole of three weeks after I rejected the mate bond between I and Elias. What a sight we were the Alpha soothing a broken pack maid in the Pack kitchen. Hugging me to his chest even as i soiled his chest with tears and soap dud covering my hands. The other maids didn’t know what to do when I burst into tears right in the middle of cleaning the evening dishes. Sensing my anguish, Elijah raced back to the pack house from the border.“Please baby. Pleas

Aegis's Point Of View.Life has been good lately.So much so that I can’t stop smiling no matter how hard I tried. And I’ve tried a lot.Humming to myself, I kneaded the cinnamon dough on the already floured counter. Little clouds of flour puffed into the air with each fold I turned around dusting my nose and cheeks. It reminds me of a joke Elijah made and I smile. Why does everything remind me of him?. “Mommy, am I doing it right?” Cece asked breaking me out of my thoughts. I bit my lips in amusement at the sight of her with a total flour covered face and a watered down version of a piece of dough paste in her hands.“Yes baby. Of course”“Mommy you’re lying. I’m bad at this”.“Okay maybe. But you can dust flour on the baking pan the way we did to the counter. You can do that, can’t you baby?“Yes mommy. But can I do it later? My wrist hurts.”“Of course baby.”And with that,she was out of the room. Probably to go play with the other children.“You’re going to wear that smile right o

THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter Fourty Three
Aegis's Point Of View.He isn't supposed to be here.Blood soaked through the knife still buried in his chest. But it wasn’t the blood that scared me. It was the look in his eyes.“I want you. You will give yourself to me,” Elias growled. His voice wasn’t his own. It was deeper and broken. His wolf had taken over.I backed away slowly shortening my own breath to not agitate him. Locked in a room with an Alpha I could handle, but a wolf. An unhinged wolf. Nahh.“You’re not well,” I whispered. He crawled toward me, crazed and growling nonsense. His claws scraped the floor as he tried to grab my leg.I raised my foot and kicked him hard in the jaw.He slumped and his body finally stilled just beside my bed. His face turned toward me like he's in a twisted kind of sleep and I jumped back.The door burst open and Damian stormed in. His eyes swept through the room until it finally settled on me. I watched as he took it all in. The knife. The blood. Elias.“Are you hurt?” he asked in a clipped

Aegis's P.o.vI’ve never been more proud of Noah than in this moment. They always said the truth burns. And tget were right.Because tonight, it burned everything.From the way he got all of their numbers to the synchronized dropping... I owe that man some flowers.The pack went dead quiet at first. Then it erupted like a storm.Phones lit up in every hand.Shocked gasps.Whispers.A woman dropped her drink.Someone cursed.And Elias froze.His eyes locked on the picture on his phone.The flash drive the Elder Rogue left behind contained some very interesting information--like the paternity of the Alpha’s son.The truth was visible on everyone’s screens.Vela’s son stood beside a man who wasn’t Elias.Anyone with eyes could see the resemblance.“You stupid whore!” Elias’s voice cracked as he stood. “Whose child is that?!”Sheila stood still, pale and trembling.“What are you talking about?” she said.“Whose goddamn child have I been raising?” he roared, raising his phone for her to se

AEGIS'S P.O.V “I’m not getting into that car with you.” I stand arms crossed, chin raised in defiance at the sight in front of me. We only have about thirty minutes before we have to leave for Elias's Pack and we're arguing. Again.The King leans against his velvet black Lamborghini Aventador with his arms folded over his chest, watching me with that insufferable smirk. “Then I hope you have a high stamina, little rose. It’s going to be a long walk to Elias’s pack.” I scowl. He’s enjoying this too much. I have my own car but apparently his royal asshat wants me in his. And while his car is probably the sexiest car in the world. It doesn't change the fact that I don't want to drive with him."Aegis. Please just get in the car, it's getting late.""Nuh uh. I don't see why this is such a big deal. I have my own car."Brianna hugs me from behind, whispering, “Just humor him and try not to kill each other.” I snort. “ I make no promises.” "Alpha Aegis, can I see you for a second," N

Aegis's P.O.VHe crouched beside me for just a moment. He wiped the tears from my eyes and drew me even closer to him. He looked at me with warm eyes and his hands still on my shoulders.“Why do you keep asking questions you know the answers to, little one?” he said with a frown.“Because maybe one day the answer will be different Elijah. It hurts so bad.”He smiled softly and shook his head. “The dead never reply, Aegis. Only the living carry the truth. And the pain," He smiled sadly to me before raising my chin to wipe the tears away from my face. "One that has managed to escape the worst of earth finds ultimate peace and freedom. That is the secret of death."He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear and pressed a kiss to my forehead before he stood up. He stretched a hand to me, “Come. Let’s go home before the stars forget us my love.”****************************************I had to keep reminding myself of that little quote as I carefully place the white lilies on Elijah’s grave,

Aegis's P.O.V."I Am Not Going." Brianna crosses her arms, giving me that look-the one that says she’s already won. But not on this. I don't want to go and I won't. Especially not with that overgrown Ape. "Sit down Aegis", she noted. She took a sip of the tea in front of her slowly peering at me over the rim of the cup. Soon enough, she was smiling presumably at the stubbornness in my eyes and putting the cup back down on the brown oak table of her office. She watched me seat before she continued, "Now let's seal this. You will go with the king to that pack and do fantastic job."" Hell no."" You're being unreasonable Aegis and also when did you start cussing.""See, it's not even being a day with him and I'm already cussing. Who knows what'll happen after a month." " It's not going to be a month, Aegis. It's just a week. A week Aegis."" You can't leave me alone with him. He's insane and therefore he'll drive me insane." I reasoned petulantly."Perfect.The two of you have someth

Aegis's First person P.O.V"The security here is lacking," he remarks dripping with disdain. "Even a child could slip past your borders."Brianna, ever the picture of patience, keeps her voice level. "We handle our security just fine your Highness." "Are you?" He raises a brow, scanning the room. "Because from where I’m standing, it looks like a disaster waiting to happen." That’s it. I step forward. "Then why don’t you leave if we’re such a mess? I mean surely you have better places to be than bothering us at 3 in the morning."He turns around at my voice and sure enough, there's a big smirk on his face. The guys shift uncomfortably under his gaze looking everywhere but at him. But I look at him just fine. He surveys all of us and our outfits with cold, critical eyes. His lips pulled up in distaste at what I was wearing but I really don't care. Fuck him.I plant my feet firmly."If you don’t like what you see, Your Royal Highness, you’re free to leave." His head snaps toward me. The

Aegis's P.o.v"A FAE??” I nod grimly more to myself than anyone else. Noah leans back in his chair, rubbing his jaw. “Fae don’t just show up, Aegis.” “Exactly,” Emery agrees. “They only appear when something big in history is about to happen.” I scowl. “Great. Just what we need. More complications.” But there’s no time for this now. The elder rogue is rotting in our basement, waiting for his turn. Talia is recovering in the hospital. We need to run some errands and get some things done for the pack. There are too many things that need handling. Answers will come later. “We'll find out what it means later. But for now...” I say with a smile. "Let's go." They know what I mean. We all rise from our seats and headed to the basement. He looks miserable, tied to a steel chair with his arms strapped down so tightly his skin is turning purple. His face is already swollen from the first few rounds, his breath shallow and uneven. The metallic scent of his wretched blood is thick in

Aegis's P.O.V"We need a way in."The Boardroom is tense. Noah, Emery, and Zach are hunched over the map marking the the elder rogue’s location in red. I'm seated in my roller chair as we brainstormed on what to do.We've been searching for this particular rogue for 6 months now. He's an expert at hiding in plain sight and being able to bypass all of our attempts to capture him. From rape, kidnap and trafficking, this guy was the Lord of all of them. Pulling him down would sever a lot of thing for the trafficking and inhumane experiments business. It'll put them in chaos and we all know chaos makes people do very stupid things.That's phase one of my revenge plan. "We know he’s a womanizer," Noah says. "Always surrounded by prostitutes. That’s our best bet at getting to him." Zach nods. "We send a woman in, someone he won’t recognize or someone he wouldn't suspect at all." A pause. We all look at each other. No one speaks. Then Noah sighs. "This won’t work unless we have the right

Aegis's P.o.v I hate paperwork. I mean, I really, really hate paperwork. If I’d known being Alpha involved signing my soul away to endless reports, requests, and financial breakdowns, I would have let Brianna keep the damn title. I tapped my half chewed pen as I glare at the towering stack of documents. Yes I chewed the to part off but you can't exactly blame me. I tried to focus. I really did. But after five minutes, my brain starts to feel like it’s melting.I groan, dragging my hands down my face. "This is actual torture." With a dramatic sigh, I slam my head onto the desk. Maybe if I knock myself unconscious, I can get out of this. Or…A slow grin spreads across my face. I mind-link Noah. Hi, lovely Beta Noah. A pause.Then, "Yesss?""I need some help." "No."I gasp. "Noo? But I didn’t even say with what!" "You don’t have to. If it’s paperwork, the answer is no." I whine. "Noah, please. It’s so much. My brain is rotting." "Nope." "But..." The mind-link cuts off. I b
