[Sylvester]

Our blended scents warming on my skin gives me a sense of calm I have never experienced before. It's like a drug, a dangerous, addictive drug.

I wasn't being entirely truthful when I said I needed her to smell like me. I needed us to smell like one another. I crave her scent on my skin.

"We were so close to mating her," Rufus grumbles, disappointed that we hadn't taken our scent marking further. "All we needed was 5 more minutes."

"She said no sex," I remind him. "No means no."

"Something tells me she may be persuaded to change her mind," he flashes me a memory of her panting as I licked her nipple, her hands buried in my hair. The way her body ground into mine, our most intimate spots separated by the barest of barriers. "She was so close to saying yes."

Groaning, I grow harder as I remember the salty sweetness of her skin between my teeth. I want to devour her, to lick her core until she melts in my hands.

"She tastes so sweet," Rufus licks his lips. "I wonder how she t

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 196

    [Sylvester] In another time, in another life, this room would be full of wolves and witches, elders and elite from every clan watching in splendor the wedding of the Alpha King and his fated Queen. But that is not the world we have today. Perhaps, if all goes well, it might be the world we wake up to. Apple deserves a grand, beautiful wedding. She isn’t just my mate and Luna, she is my rock, my anchor, the one who keeps me moored as the world swirls out of control around us. In a better world, she would have that moment to shine with honor as I let the world know that I would be nothing without her love and grace. If Apple had never answered that ad, never stumbled into my office by mistake, I wouldn’t be standing here now. The way she instantly seized my heart that day took me by surprise. The moment she walked into my world was a blessing I wasn’t prepared to recognize. She woke me from the dark, cold confines of my shattered heart. I didn't believe I could love again until so

    [Apple]Sylvester’s chuckle was the last thing I expected to hear through our bond. He seems genuinely amused.“Ah,” he finally linked to me, his words as clear as if he were in the room. “I guess he’s chosen.” I can sense him shaking his head, and the weight of his deep sigh. “He’s ours now, Apple. That is, if you choose to accept him.” In a flurry of emotions, images, and words, the truth is filtered into my mind, throwing me into a shock so sudden I take a step back. I had heard that Hawthorne was now a hybrid too, with a strong wolf to balance his exceptional magic, a beta no less. Not just any beta, MY beta. Reaching out through another cord of connection, I seek out Rudy, my current Beta, only to feel that his bond has changed somehow. We aren’t disconnected, but the cord is thinning, fraying. “Rudy?”“Luna Queen,” he’s sad, but also glowing with power and pride as he tells me that he cannot serve as my Beta anymore. “I’m an alpha now,” he replies. “I’m going to be taking ove

    [Apple][A few moments earlier]“Please, I don’t need you to make so much fuss over me. It isn’t right.” Amaryllis Thorpe Greystone is frowning in the mirror, her grand niece Hazel trying to get her to sit still as she applies the final dusting of shimmer across her cheeks. Even her makeup had been plain when she had entered the room, almost as if she was trying to disappear. When I met Amy, she was Alexis, and Alexis was a beautiful and proud she-wolf who would bow to no one. She was an alpha, a powerhouse of her own, capable of ruling her own pack if she wanted. But right now, she’s let herself believe her own negative self talk, spiralling down into deep despair. I know that feeling well–I almost let it eat me alive after Zion’s betrayal. I almost believed I deserved to be treated poorly too, so much so that I was hesitant to let anyone else close to me. I wonder if it’s a family trait, something inherited from a common ancestor that the women in our family feel it is in our lot

    [Hawthorne]Beta. How can I be a beta when I’ve had a wolf for less than 24 hours. And now the Alpha King wants me to choose between staying here to watch over him and his family, as his official Beta, or return to Crescent City with my twin, who will be the Luna of the West with her mate and soon to be husband, Rudolph Forrester. The thing is, neither of these options sound great. And yet, both of them sound incredible. As much as Sylvester Sterling and I have been antagonistic, he has also reached out across species lines to make all witches feel welcome. He even took the position of familiar to my witch, binding his power to myself and Hazel, giving us the ability to use his natural connection to his pack to help us locate Apple. That was a brave choice. If I had been a more powerful witch, or was being used by one, we could have made him our familiar in truth, forcing his hand, commanding him through that bond. I know I said I didn’t trust him, but that isn’t true either. I gue

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 192

    [Sylvester] Parris Abernathy is standing on the other side of the door, his cheezy grin wide, and next to him is Hawthorne Sparks, the witch who tried to take my mate from me all those months ago. Even though we’ve moved past that point, so far past it that I couldn’t imagine Apple giving this clever witch even a second glance, I can’t help but feel a touch of animosity when I look at him. “Um, Alpha,” the smaller man sucks in his own irritation, smiling as brightly as he can as he takes his mate’s hand. “Grandmother says it’s time. We need you and the other two grooms at the altar.” “Sounds like my cue,” Lysander stands, dusting crumbs off of his lap. As Apple’s only surviving parent, the old gamma will be walking my beautiful queen down the aisle to meet me beneath the arch of the Moon Goddess in the temple on the rooftop level. “Is Araminta waiting for us with the girls?” “She said she’d meet us,” Hawthorne takes a step forward, his grin becoming genuine as he looks at the old

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 191

    [Araminta] Fifty years ago, across the sands and mountains in the large coastal supernatural community of Crescent City, a young witch met two wolves in the middle of the night with the mission of negotiating peace. The treaty would take another decade and a half of back and forth, and would end in a moment where the two sides came together and forged a new world, one where they would live separately from one another, keeping the peace through segregation. And as our races grew apart, we became settled in our misguided beliefs, forgetting all of our shared stories and culture, losing our sense of interconnectivity. Wolves and witches were never meant to live apart. Both peoples are creatures born of magic and moonlight, living in harmony with the woods whose spirit flows through our veins. We worship the same mother goddess who not only gives us life, but whose shining power leads us to our mates, and our chosen families. In this modern world of computers and highrises, it’s easy to
