Sorry, not a really long chapter, but it's my son's birthday so i didn't have much time. I will write more tonight if i can.
Kai’s pov I hated sleeping here. I hated having to pretend all day and follow that fucker around. And I hated the way Mona made me feel. She made me mad, she made me doubt myself and for fuck sake, she made me crave her. Why the hell did she have to be naked so damn much?! It was impossible being around her. All I wanted was to take her, to fuck her senselessly and I got the feeling she was feeling the same way. Especially when she blushed and looked at me. It reminded me of how she used to look after we kissed. I wanted to take care of her when I saw how tired she looked. Fuck, why did she mess with my head so much?! I rejected her for fuck’s sake. How would I be able to believe anything, if I was influenced by whatever else I was feeling? How could I know if she was telling the truth, when my feelings were all over the place. I wanted to hurt her for what she did to my sister and fuck her for looking so amazing. I ate something and during breakfast, Beta Norman came to see me.
Moon’s pov I waited for Kai to wake up, to see the sign on the tree, so I could warn him. But when he came out of his tent, he was talking to Beta Norman. They left with a group of six people and there was no way for me to contact him, without revealing myself to them. Beta Norman wouldn’t hurt Kai here right? There would be six witnesses? “Helena said she would kill the workers too. Moon, you have to follow them. Save Kai.” Angela said, sounding scared. I followed them and watched them dig. I got momentarily distracted, by seeing Kai all sweaty and digging into the ground. Shit, wouldn’t anyone? I just needed to get him alone. “So you can save him, right? Not for the other things you’re thinking about.” Angela said. Yeah, to save him. It wasn’t like he wanted me for anything else. He always looked at me with disgust, well, most of the times at least. I didn't pay much attention to the workers. I was focused on Kai and watched him dig for hours, until Beta Norman asked Kai to c
Moon’s pov “I need your help.” “Moon, what happened?” Racheal replied. “It’s Kai, Racheal. He’s dying. I can’t take him back to the campsite, because Helena and Beta Norman were the one who tried to kill him.” I felt like I waited for hours. I had used Kai’s shirt to bandage his arm, used his belt to make the stump stop bleeding. Fuck, I didn’t know what I was doing, but I hoped it was enough. I dragged Kai as far as I could, through the rogue territory. Hoping that no one would spot us. Every time I dragged him, my wound would open up again. Racheal had asked Alpha Malcom to send a car. I didn’t know if we could trust him, but Racheal said to wait and talk to Alpha Malcom. That he shared something interesting with her. “What did you tell Alpha Malcom?” I asked her, worried about people attacking the Wolvin pack, if they found out I was still alive. “I told them we needed help, that one of our members stayed behind and was hurt badly. It’s basically the truth.” “So he still thi
Moon's pov I woke up to whispering. “.. that’s her?” “Yes, that’s your granddaughter.” Alpha Malcom said. “She looks like her mother. Just as beautiful as my Freya.” I felt Mary wake up next to me and she said up straight. Softly stroking my hair, trying to wake me up. I was scared to open my eyes. Would he hate me? It might have not been my choice, but it were my hands that held the knife that stabbed his daughter. “You can do this, Moon.” Angela said, urging me to open my eyes. When I did, I saw Alpha Malcom and my grandfather. He was the same man from my memories, only older. He had some grey hairs and some wrinkles, but he didn’t look as old as a human would. We age differently, so he looked about forty years old, while he must be in his sixties by now. “Mona.” “It’s Moon now,” Mary said protectively, “Alpha Moon.” I smiled at Mary, “it’s fine, Mary. Could you excuse us for a minute?” I mindlinked her, “if he wanted me dead, he would have killed me in my sleep. I’ll be
Kai’s pov I was trapped inside that cave for hours, but it could have been days for all I knew. All I felt was pain everywhere, but the worst part was being trapped and feeling like I couldn’t breathe. It was dark and cramped and I was losing hope, the longer it took for Moon to get me out. In all honesty, it came as a relief when I got knocked out. Or died? I don’t even fucking know. It went black and I felt this sense of peace. Then I felt nothing for a while, just amazing numbness. But it was like something was pulling me back and there was this euphoric feeling that washed over me. Like this pull to something or someone. I had to come back. Everything was still dark and it was freaking me the fuck out. Was I still trapped in that cave, only I didn’t feel it? Had my body died, but had my spirit remained stuck there? I knew Moon was trying to get me out, but maybe she had been too late. Dad. Dad! Beta Norman said he was killing my dad, slowly. Fuck, I needed to go back. I neede
Moon’s pov I had been wanting Kai to wake up and at the same time I had dreaded it. What would he say? What would he do? Would he hate me even more if he found out what I did? I knew I had to be the one to tell him. If he was going to hurt someone in his anger or pain, it should be me. But Kai surprised me by doing the exact opposite. He was kind and he wanted to stay at my pack. Was he in shock? He barely responded to losing his arm or losing his dad. He loved his father, I knew he did. So was he holding everything in? Was he like me, focusing only on revenge or he would break? But for once, I wasn’t the target of his revenge. That fucking bastard Norman was. I didn’t know how he killed Alpha Tallon, but I knew it was him. What Kai said, only proved it. When Kai was checked out of the hospital, I picked him up with Racheal and she drove us to my pack. Kai and I sat in the back. I had no clue why he wanted to stay here. Absolutely none. “He said he was sorry about not believing y
Kai’s pov I saw a smile for the first time in years, when I talked to Moon about our shared past. It made me feel better too, remembering a time before all this crap happened. I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing. I was trying to be nice to her, show her I had changed, but there was too fucking much going on. I lost my dad. No, I didn’t lose him, he was fucking killed and I couldn’t even say goodbye. I was worried about my mom, worried about my pack and I was fucking pissed I lost my hand. But I knew I couldn’t take any of that out on Moon. She had saved me and I knew it couldn’t have been an easy choice to take my hand. But what she felt worse about, was marking me. Yeah, it surprised me and it messed with my fucking head. But it wasn’t something that was gone, like my hand. It was a new chance to get to know Moon. To look inside her head and see what she was hiding. Because fucking hell, was she good at suppressing her emotions. “Takes one to know one.” Ronin said. I growle
Moon’s pov Sleeping next to Kai was the best night sleep I had ever had. But I wouldn’t tell him that. Things were too difficult. He was nice to me now and he said he believed me, but we could never get past what I did. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw the woman who had done horrible things for Norman. So I could only imagine what Kai thought when he saw me. Besides, he just lost hid dad, his hand. No, no I had to get the thought of Kai out of my head. He wasn’t mine. Even if he was my mate and I had marked him, he wasn’t in love with me and he deserved better. I left Kai’s tent and got dressed. I didn’t have any nice clothes, so I had no idea what to wear. Grandpa came to pick me up, holding a large box. “I thought you might not have something to wear?” “You bought me a dress, grandpa?” I said confused. Grandpa winked, “don’t worry, it’s nothing bad. An outfit befitting for an Alpha.” I opened the box and inside was a black jumpsuit. It had thick straps and golden
Moon’s pov- ONE YEAR LATER -"Luna?""Luna Moon?"I kept forgetting that I was now Luna."Yes?" I said as I turned around.A mother and her kids were standing there looking at me."Wow, you’ve gotten big." Her little girl said."Ashley! You can’t just say those things." Her mother scolded her."It’s fine. I am big. But can I tell you a secret?"Ashley nodded her little head."It’s because there are two babies inside of me.""Wow! two!" Ashley said excitedly.Her mom smiled at me, "I just wanted to thank you. Alpha Raider has been a wonderful Alpha and has handled everything on his own so well for all these years, but having a Luna is really special. We feel complete, and you both have done such wonderful things for our pack. The Crimson Crescent Pack is on its way to becoming one of the most powerful packs in the whole country, thanks to you and Alpha Raider. We’re really proud to be members."I smiled and was almost brought to tears. Stupid hormones."Thank you; that means a lot.""W
Moon’s pov"Breathe, breathe through the contractions." The midwife said."You fucking breathe." I replied, getting sick of hearing her voice."I’m sorry." Kai said to the midwife, "She didn’t mean it like that."The hell I didn’t.The midwife smiled at us, "don’t worry, I’ve been told worse.""You know, I read somewhere that an orgasm can help with the pain." Kai suggested."An orgasm? You’re thinking about sex right now? That’s the thing that got me into this situation in the first place.""No, I didn't mean it that way, I,-""Just go hang out in the other room with Diego," I yelled, "I need to focus, and Mary will call you when the baby is almost out."Kai nodded and left the room, looking defeated."Maybe I shouldn’t try to have a baby?" Mary joked. "It looks painful, and it turns the future mother into this scary beast that even drives away alpha males.""You want out too?"Mary laughed. She wasn’t scared of me. "No, I can handle scary Moon.""So you’ve been trying to make a baby?
Mary’s povKnowing Moon would give birth in a few months sped up the whole house's construction. Alpha Raider even jumped in to help, and Moon sent some people from our pack to assist as well.It also meant that once the house was done, which would be in a few weeks, Diego and I would start living together.I looked forward to it and was anxious at the same time. I was used to having my own room, my own space, and not having to think about another person. But falling asleep next to Diego and waking up next to him every morning would be wonderful. Knowing I could snuggle in those big, hairy arms of his would be worth giving up some of my personal space."Moon and Raider would have no issue with giving you another room. The house is big enough." Beth, my wolf, said.I didn’t need another room. Diego and I wouldn’t be spending most days together, so this would be just evenings, nights, and mornings. And days off."So plenty of time," Beth joked.I had grown a lot more comfortable around D
Kai's pov"So are you and Maria planning on moving to our new packhouse too?" I asked Diego.He looked unsure."I mean, Mary and Moon are friends, so I kind of assumed it would have come up." I said, "You don’t fucking have to. I mean, it’s just a question.""Maria is her best friend, and soy tu mejor amigo?" said Diego, laughing.I knew what Amigo meant. "I am not your fucking best friend. We’re not in high school."He nodded his head with a stupid smirk on his face, "did you learn Spanish for your amigo?"I growled, "never fucking mind, Diego. You’re getting way too familiar anyway; I wouldn’t want to live with you again."He smiled at me despite my anger, "Maria and I would love to live in the house with you, Alpha Raider. We also talked about perhaps building our own casa in the future.""Well, mi casa es su casa, right? You and Mary are welcome to stay at the packhouse." I said, "for Moon of course. She would love it. I don't fucking care either way."Diego laughed as he walked ou
Diego’s povI knew Maria could handle herself, but I felt this strong urge to protect her and make sure she was okay. Maria was the strongest person I know, but I felt like sometimes she tried to be even stronger and wouldn’t admit when something was wrong.I had felt nothing during our bond because I was most likely sleeping. But I did have this vivid dream of fighting people, which must have been because of Mary.Now that we’re both marked, we feel everything the other feels, and although I already knew Maria was a lot more sensitive than she looked, I hadn’t suspected to feel so much from her. She felt deeply, just like I did, but she kept them hidden by acting though."So, you want to check up on Mary, huh?" Alpha Moon teased."Por supuesto [of course], just like you went with Alpha Raider, no?"Alpha Moon laughed, "yeah. But Mary was doing her job, and my mate was being a reckless idiot. Going in alone could have gone so terribly wrong.""He was doing his job también [as well]. He
Kai’s povA loud scream tore through the packhouse, and then there was silence. We walked down to see Luna Suzanne and Darius in the living room, hugging each other."It hurts, honey, but I’ll be okay. You matter more to me." Suzanne said to her son. We weren't needed here anymore. I wouldn't want to hang around with the person who killed my mate just a few seconds ago.I looked at Darius, and he nodded his head. I could feel his alpha aura now; the transfer was complete.We left the packhouse and walked to the car. We weren’t stopped by any guards, and the gates opened for us to pass through. Darius, sorry Alpha Darius must have told them to let us pass.Ten minutes into our ride home, Moon sighed."Kai…""I know, I’m fucking sorry.""You can’t just do these things, what if something happened?"I shrugged my shoulders, "it didn’t.""And you can’t just talk for me. That was not your secret to tell. I am a damn Alpha; I can handle my own problems. I don’t need a knight on a white horse
Moon’s pov"So you’re going to Alpha Paul now to pay him back?" I mindlinked Kai."No, well, I wanted to kill him, but I will try another way first.""And you’re taking Darius with you?" I asked."Yes, my Moon.""The same guy that tried to kill you literally an hour ago?"Kai laughed, "the same fucking guy. I trust him. I don’t know why, but let’s just say it’s a gut thing.""Well, I have a gut feeling too, and it says that you’re being reckless. Going inside Alpha Paul’s territory with his son. If he does kill you, it looks like you provoked it." "Alpha Paul isn’t strong or brave enough, that’s why he sent his pup to do his nasty work." Kai growled. "I’ll be fine.""Yes, you will.""What’s that supposed to mean, -" And Kai stopped as soon as he spotted Angela beside the road."I'm coming with," I mindlinked and switched back, naked beside the road.I'd been waiting for a car for about ten minutes. No one would travel this road this late at night, so I wasn’t worried someone else migh
Kai’s povThe first few days were just the fucker following me around. He didn’t say much, and I was grateful; I already had a beta and a gamma who wouldn’t shut up. Diego in particular, goddess, did he even have a filter? It was like every thought he had needed to be said out loud. Even if no one could fucking understand him anyway.I showed Darius around; he watched Hudson handle the books without seeing all of our finances, and Darius watched Diego train his soldiers. I had no fucking clue what we were doing. Is this how you train a future Alpha? Or do I need to put him to work too?Alpha Paul didn’t find shit in the ground, just like we expected, but he wasn’t finished yet. He still had a few days left, and he wanted to use them all. I think he was just stalling, so we couldn’t start building yet.Or it was because on the fifth night of the idiot staying here, while I was trying to sleep, little Darius secretly snuck out of his room and into the hallway.Did the fucker really think
Kai’s pov"So, you followed my advice?" Moon said, looking at Mary’s mark during breakfast.If Mary could blush, she would. Goddess, she looked mortified, but it was fucking funny to see that face of hers. I wondered if they finally had sex or tried he other stuff Moon told me about. I mean, I wouldn’t fucking mind seeing my mate touch herself.I looked at Diego, "now we really need to get that land."Diego nodded, "Si."Okay, chatty catty wasn’t really in the mood to talk this morning. He would probably tell me and Hudson everything later.Diego kissed Mary, and I gave Moon a good kiss before they left.Diego sighed, "I want Maria here, todo el tiemp [all the time]. Alfa Raider, cómo se hace esto? [Alpha Raider, how do you do this?]"I didn’t really understand that last part because it was in fucking Spanish, but I did know how he felt. "It’s fucking hard being away from Moon."Beta Hudson and his family came down for breakfast after Moon and Mary left, and it made me realize even mor
