In a flustered huff, I stomp towards the booth. If I had claws they'd be drawn now, ready to slash those posters to pieces.

How embarrassing. It's bad enough that I am a Rental Luna, but to have my business spread around campus.

"They can't do that," I point to the cutouts of me grinning out at us in a way that suggests AI may have been involved. "They can't just use my image to sell their product! Service! Whatever!!"

Rudy holds me back with gentle hands. "I'm sorry Luna, but they can."

"What?" I gape at him, aghast. "I never gave permission for ...for...this!" I shout and the woman at the table flinches. I forget sometimes how clear werewolf hearing can be. Even from a distance, they can likely hear everything.

As he turns me towards the Botany department, he explains that Rental Luna has owned the right to use my image from the moment I joined their academy officially. "It was part of the deal we had to make to get you set up quickly and discreetly within their system," he

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 148

    [Calyx] As I fly over the desert between Moon River City and the mountains of California, I am reminded of all the hurt and pain my actions have caused when I was “too stupid to know better.” The earth is scorched. The human military got involved to protect the humans caught between the Brotherhood and Alpha King Sterling’s wolf forces. When the wolves had still been fighting one another, eliminating rogues rather than rehabilitating them, the wolves were still on the good side of President McKenna. But now she sends troops out to “keep the peace” but in reality we all know the truth. The humans are scared. No, they’re fucking terrified. The Alpha King has done something that hasn’t been seen in modern times–he’s actually unified most of the wolves under his command, including the rogues who gladly come to Moon River City for treatment and rehabilitation. In addition, he has created a welcome space for hybrids and brought the witches to the table–something that hasn’t happened i

    [Calyx] [A couple of hours ago] Time has passed and I’ve done my best to prove my worth. Some days, I even feel it might be possible to become a new wolf. But other days, my darker days, I wonder why he even bothered. I wasn’t worth saving. I should have been left to die, so that I wouldn’t have to consider what it means to be both a wolf and a good man. I wasn’t raised to be either. At one point, I think my adopted mother tried. I grew up thinking she was my real mom, that Zion was my real brother, until one day he told me the truth, brutal in the way that kids often are when they feel they’ve been wrong. “Why are you babying him,” Zion had pointed at me after I had one of my fits. “He’s just a dog you didn’t put down. He’s not my real brother.” I was 7. I didn’t know that I was a wolf yet, all I knew was that sometimes, my body would grow tight, and my vision red, and then the next thing I knew I’d be in bed, or on the floor with someone lying on my chest and no memory of the

    [Calyx] [Two weeks ago] I shouldn’t feel drawn to her. I don’t believe in fate, or mates, or any of that nonsense. I wasn’t born to be a wolf. I wasn’t born to be anything but a sacrifice and a tool to be used and discarded. “That’s not true,” my progenitor says proudly, patting me on the back. “Whatever negative thing you are thinking about yourself isn’t true. Remember, you’re a part of me.” “Whatever,” I roll my eyes. Like I could ever forget that I’m nothing more than a genetically modified clone based on his DNA spliced with the best samples that the Brotherhood had to offer. Part wolf, part human, probably part witch and God knows what else. Shit, the Brotherhood has been around for over a thousand years, and because witches are so damn clever, have been playing around with our DNA long before humans even had a name for it. “Hey listen,” the proud Gamma placed a large hand on my shoulder. “You may not have been born by choice for either one of us, but that doesn’t change

    [Alexis] [One Month Ago] I hate being alone. It’s too quiet at this hour, when the entire pack is asleep on the floor below me. The Alpha’s suite is mine now, not that it matters. What is the point of having an Alpha suite in a pack with no alpha? “Alpha Sterling,” they call me now, but it feels hollow and false. The true alpha is out there, somewhere, loving someone else. Apple, the human girl who was a hybrid in hiding, the seductress who used her fake innocence to wiggle her way into Sylvester’s bed and turn his heart away from me. The child in my womb should be his, and her child shouldn’t exist. Sylvester is mine. He always has been, and he always will be. I took his virginity, and I took his heart. I was there first. Every trick he uses, the way he gives her pleasure, he learned it all from me. That child is nothing but a stand-in, sampling my leftovers. “Alexis,” a deep voice calls from the shadows of the room. It rolls over me like thunder, and I close my eyes, imagini

    [Sylvester] They don’t warn you about what it feels like to watch your mate give birth. It’s terrifying and wonderful all at once, making my stomach flip and churn like a rough sea and my heart beats like a rabbit’s who has scented a predator. “Stay with me,” Apple pleads as she grips my hand tightly. “Please.” Clasping her hand firmly in mine I nod, “Always. I’ll stay right next to you forever.” She smiles, her tear-streaked cheeks rosy with the effort of bringing our pups into the world. Sweet Goddess she is so beautiful right now. She didn’t need to ask for me to stay, it would be impossible for me to leave without leaving behinChaotd a piece of my soul. “Help her stand,” Araminta orders gently as she guides my movements. “The babies aren’t progressing. She’s stuck at 5 cm. We need to get her moving.” I pull Apple into my side, and supporting her weight against me, I help her stand on tender feet. She screams in agony as her legs wobble uselessly, as if her feet have forgo

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 143

    [Apple]The pain is excruciating, but the joy I feel is real as I hear the words, “she’s in labor.” It means my babies are almost here, in my arms, my little miracles created the moment I opened my heart to my mate, and he opened his heart to me on the day he saved my life by tying our lives together forever. At that moment of transformation, as he sunk his canines into my neck and claimed me as his, healing my heart as well as my body, neither one of us knew it would lead to this moment. “I’m here with you,” Sly kisses my hand as my bed is wheeled to the larger birthing room. “It’s going to be okay.” Speaking over his shoulder at someone I cannot see, Sly requests someone call my grandmother, Araminta. “This facility doesn’t have a witch on staff,” he explains. “Araminta is a practiced midwife.”I can’t process what he says next because for a moment, I thought he said, “your brother,” but that doesn’t make sense. The only brother I had was part of the reason I ended up in a coma in
