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

    "That's it?" Jaxon snorted. My hands fisted beside me. She was finally asking for help. Thank the Goddess ."That's it."He stared at me. "No conditions? No—""She asked for one thing," I geunted. "I'm giving her one thing." I pulled the authorization document toward me. "Get me the tribunal coordinator."Jaxon was quiet for a moment before handing me a pen with a loud sigh. "She also said to tell you she's calling it in," he drawled. "Whatever that means."My lips curved up in a smile as I scribbled my name on the document.She remembered. Just like she'll remember that you rejected her.My teeth gritted against each other.y wolf has been out of control recently. Whining and crying for his mate. Which YOU PUSHED AWAY. Wolf please. Not Today.Wait.. If she's calling her favor in. Does that mean,?No.I snapped my head back up to an amused Jaxon."Get me the coordinator.He turned around and shut the door behind him.My wolf, who had been running circles in my head since the nig

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter One Hundred

    Aegis's POVI stood near the main doors and watched the guests go. A woman I didn't know caught my eye on her way out and nodded. Looks like a the social climbers have finally made their decision.An older Alpha stopped beside me briefly. "Good evening," he said, and put enough weight in it to make it more than a pleasantry.Ella's failed plan and The Queen's support today had changed the looks I was getting. People had been sucking up to me since she left. It's exhausting.I know right. A council member's wife who had spent most of dinner pretending not to look at me touched my arm as she passed and said simply, "Well done," and kept walking.Kira appeared at my elbow as the last cluster of guests filtered out."Good night," she greeted a group of laughing children. Then turned to me and whispered, "Productive night, Yeah."I smirked. "Stephan's people have already been in touch," she continued. "Three separate messages in the last hour. He's very serious about the heir thing."

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Ninety Nine

    Aegis's POV"I won't let him get away with this," The angry father's thundering voice echoed around the hall.Councilman Langford's voice caught the queen at the door."Your Majesty." He yelled, voice carrying through the room. "A moment."The queen stopped and turned around."Councilman?," she drawled. "The man who was found with my daughter," Langford said. "I want him stripped. His title, his land holdings, his pack affiliation. All of it."Her eyes narrowed,"That's a significant request."He puffed up his chest, shaking angrily, "It's a significant offense."The queen mother tilted her head. "Under which statute?"Langford didn't blink. "Section forty-two of the Noble Conduct Act. Conduct unbecoming in a public setting involving a member of a council family.""Section forty-two applies to intentional conduct," she argued. "You'd need to establish intent."His fingers clenched by his "The intent is self-evident."She shrugged, To you, perhaps. A tribunal would require documentatio

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Ninety Eight

    Aegis's POV The queen arrived at half past seven with an entourage of six.She moved through the room with the confidence of someone who had never once questioned whether a room belonged to her, and that, more than height or entourage or the jewelry that caught the light when she turned, was what made people step back as she passed.Ella and her family swaggeres in soon after. A low growl rumbled from the back of my throat. Her eyes found me across the space and she took an unsure step back. I smiled mischievously at her.She turned away immediately.That's what I thought, my dragon snickered. Her father was behind her, doing his own version of a scan. Her mother beside him was exactly as I imagined---Blonde bombshell in pastel colors, pearls and a permanent I'm better than you scowl.Ella's eyes come back to me twice more before she settled. Gaining some confidence back, she glared hatefully at me. Her family whispered against themselves. My eyes shot to my eyebrows when she

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Ninety Seven

    Aegis's POVI had been to three of these charity events like thi many times in the past year.They were always the same. Good lighting, better wine, people performing generosity for an audience of other people performing generosity.Everyone thier best and looked thier best. I had always found them exhausting.Tonight I found them useful.The venue gleaned with shining lights hung from high ceilings, round tables dressed in white, a projector screen at the front of the room for the evening's presentation of charitable causes and their funding needs.An eclectic band in the corner played a soft catchy tune while the catering staff moving through the crowd with trays of champagnes and extragant but tiny pieces of food.The event paused dramatically as I walked in, Noah and Kira flanking me like last time. The guests looked around themselves warily anyivipating my next move, yet fearful that they'd be c

    Aegis's POVThe next phase of the plan was to separate my pack from the shit show that was about to hit the fan.I had to admit though, putting the call across was hard. The pack had come to me through a series of events I hadn't engineered. But i always knew deep down that it had never been mine to keep.Sighing sadly, I put a call through to Bianca.She picked up on the first ring, which meant she'd been expecting the call, which meant Noah had probably warned her.That's what I get for having friends that knew me almost as much as i knew myself."I'm transferring the pack back," I rushed out immediately the call connected.My throat tightened against an invisible boulder. This was going to be hard but it had to be done.Brianna sighed before groaning. "Aegis—"I cut in desperately, pushing through there weight behind my throat. "It was always yours. And now
