**** Alyssa **** “One of the best things about being an adult is that no one can tell you cake isn’t a breakfast food,” Nathan says, laying a fabulous cream-covered, fruit-topped creation crowned with sparklers and a handful of tall skinny gold candles on the table in front of me, the sweet fruity scent tickling my sleepy senses. I’ve been up a whole four minutes, thanks to my friends bouncing on my bed and loudly serenading me with Happy Birthday. “My birthday was yesterday,” I yawn for the second time this morning. I might not be physically capable of showing it yet, but I truly appreciated this sweet gesture. “Nope. Since Emily here hasn’t slept yet, it’s still your birthday. That’s my theory, and I’m sticking to it. Now, blow out those candles and make a wish,” Dara demands. “Oh, no! I gave up on wishes a long time ago. This is truly amazing, though, thanks everyone,” I smile, rubbing the last crystal bits of sleep from my eyes. “Well, aren’t we surly in the morning? You’re

**** Beta Jayvon **** Her apartment is located in a cheap neighborhood with dirty, dangerous streets. Enzi would die if he knew this was where his treasured princess was living. I pick the lock, a skill I learned a couple of years ago when I realized that she taught herself how to pick locks in order to escape us. I was surprised at how easy it was to open an allegedly locked door. The wolf hearing helped. I click the door closed behind me and take a minute to survey the apartment from the door, knowing I'd need to make sure I leave everything exactly as I found it. Pulling out my iPhone, I take a few shots of her apartment from every angle from my spot at the door for later reference. She's neat, neater than I was at 21, that's for damn sure. Not crazy neat like an OCD maniac, it's more like she's a minimalist. Then it clicks. Perhaps she's a minimalist by necessity. There's not a lot here that's deeply personal. Some photos I see as I start to wander around her living room area.

**** Alyssa **** Arriving at work this evening, I can't help but smirk to myself. Finally, I'm legally old enough to work at the bar I've been working at for almost three years now. I walk in with an extra bounce in my step, and I'm a little early. Last night, despite my occasional bouts of paranoia, was wonderful. Still, the gnawing feeling that my time here has run out continued to grow throughout the day. Like I'd reached an unwritten expiration date on my peace here. I'd been trying to push that feeling aside all day. What if it was already too late? I shake my paranoia from my brain and dive into work. While I hadn't planned on staying here this long, I've certainly settled in. I have friends I love, a job I enjoy, and a rewarding side hobby. All day I've been mentally debating my plans to leave in true Shakespearean fashion, to go, or not to go, that is the question... To go would mean being alone again, leaving the amazing support system I built here. Venturing once again in

**** Alyssa **** "She said no," I hear Luke's voice chime in, slowly enunciating each word, his tone heavy with menace. Goddess, I love him — in that father figure, non-creepy way. Looking back, I see Luke and Nathan now also surrounded by Enzi's warriors. I sigh, "Please, go back in. The last thing I wanted was to involve any of you." A werebear is way stronger than a werewolf, but a werewolf is rarely alone. Enzi has at least a dozen guys here. While Luke is scary as all heck in his were form, he'd struggle against this many, even with me by his side. And no, I'm not counting Nathan. A muse has many talents, but fighting is not one of them, not for Nathan, anyway. Luke and I could take several down with us if it came down to it. If I had to fight my way out on my own, I would, but I'd rather swim naked in a piranha-riddled river than have my friends caught in the cross-claws of my problems. So, flight it is! "Please, come with me," Enzi repeats. I raise an eyebrow slightly

**** Alyssa **** Within minutes the SIB types sweep through the parking lot where we are and split into two groups, half surrounding us and half pouring into the building. Soon after, all the human customers come flying out of the restaurant and bar. From the snatches of conversation I hear as people pass, it sounds like SIB jerks are claiming a significant gas leak from another building nearby. I've only heard rumors about the royal guard tossers — that's who I'm assuming these people are, judging by the small matching emblems on the left breast of each suit. Apparently, the entire block is being evacuated. While I'm glad they are not dumping the blame on Luke's business alone, I'm not thrilled that, other than Luke and Nathan, I'm surrounded by potential enemies. Soon, for a mile at least, they'll be no one but Enzi's pack warriors and these new SIB tossers. I can also see flashing lights at either end of the street. Great. Every second I stand here, the noose they have on the a

**** Alyssa **** “I’m so sorry! In my defense, when the bear growled, your wolf clamped his jaws tighter. I was happy until then to let him think he had me bested. I wanted to avoid this fight, but then when he bit down, I had to get him off me,” the Duke tries explaining as he kneels beside me. I hear the words, but they still don’t quite register. Frantically trying to stem the bleeding, my hands slipped in the rapidly pooling blood. I can’t think straight when there’s this much blood. It’s hard to even tell where the worse part of the wound is. “What did you do?” I mumble, more to myself than anything, my voice soft and shockingly fearful. “He was going to kill me. I had to defend myself,” the Duke answers. “I get that!” I snap. It doesn't make me feel any calmer though. “What exactly did you do?” tearing my eyes from my mate’s blood-soaked belly to glare at the Duke. Surprisingly, he does look regretful. He also answers immediately. “I shifted my claws and tried to shove him

**** Alyssa **** Leaping from the car before it's even fully stopped, I rush into the arms of my waiting friend. "Veronica, what the heck are you doing here?" I exclaim. "Long story short!? After you left, Jamie, Alpha Enzi, and a few others came looking for you in our pack. Your uncle dragged all your friends in for questioning, thinking you must have told one of us where you were headed. It turned out Jamie is my mate. We have a lot to catch up on. But first, what happened here?" Veronica points to the cars behind me. Turning, I see Doctor Dan directing Jayvon and the others while they load Enzi on a stretcher. "It's complicated, but he'll be ok. He just needs rest to heal." I answer with a shrug because the last thing I want to do is to explain all of this. My head is still struggling to make sense of it. "Luna, I'm so glad you're home," Merideth squeals, flinging herself into my arms next, "Girl, we have so much to talk about! I can't believe you didn't tell me you were the L

**** Alyssa **** "Good morning! I knew you were awake!" Merideth squeals with way too much excitement. Instantly, I'm smacked with déjà vu and that failed shopping trip so many years ago. "He's always up early," Merideth says as she winks at Enzi, who responds with a noncommittal grunt. I can sense he's displeased at her interruption, but surprisingly, he doesn't kick her out. That could be because she thrusts an oversized coffee mug in his hand before she continues babbling on. "Did you sleep at all? You have massive black bags under your eyes!" Merideth says, softly gripping my chin and staring intently at my face. Far out, this is a lot for first thing in the morning. I glance at the man behind Merideth, who wordlessly mouths the word "sorry" to Enzi and me. The sheepish look on his face makes me smile. "She looks beautiful," Enzi whispers. "Suck up," Merideth groans, and I laugh out loud at that. "He's your mate?" I blurt out, pointing to the Enzi look-a-like with a tip on m

**** Alyssa **** 3 Months Later.… I was hesitant when Enzi first suggested a real wedding. We'd been through so much that I was happy to just move on without it. He had to build a case, explaining how guilty he felt that I hadn't been given the dream wedding he thought I deserved the first time around. He said that he'd always planned for us to have a proper ceremony where he could shout his love for me for all the world to hear. I could hardly believe this was the same man I'd met all those years ago. In the end, we agreed to a wedding that included the traditional Luna oath as part of the ceremony, effectively killing two birds with one stone. Now the day is finally here, I am thankful and thrilled he's put as much effort into this for me. He's gone above and beyond to make me feel special. The pack house and grounds have been completely transformed. I'd decided on a fall wedding with a fall color palette. I wasn't much of a party planner, but apparently, Jada, Enzi's mother

**** Alyssa **** As Dara stares at Uncle Simon, the room falls deathly silent. Simon, however, is staring out the side window, clearly lost in thought, oblivious to the significance of this moment. Then, I see his nose twitch and eyebrows crease. When his eyes scroll the room and finally land on Dara, his mouth drops open in shock. Oh, Goddess. No, this can't be happening. I want them both to be happy, but this is too much for him, given everything he's gone through in the last couple of days. Jamie said Simon had been understandably isolating himself, clearly depressed. On the other hand, Dara has wanted a mate for so long. She's the fairytale type. The type that always believed her prince charming would find her one day and sweep her off her feet. Instead, Uncle Simon has just been betrayed by the woman he loved for a decade and is facing running a pack and raising a baby and a toddler while grieving. His present circumstances are way more stressful than when he took over from my

**** Alyssa **** "Hey, Alyssa, sorry to disappoint you. It's just me: Jayvon." "What's wrong? Can I talk to Enzi? Why are you calling Adrian from Enzi's phone? What happened?" I don't know why, but I am suddenly sure that something must be going on. "He's fine. Well, not exactly fine. He was injured, but he's healing, and he will be 100% soon," Jayvon explains, very poorly, I might add. "Let me talk to him… I need to hear his voice," damn, did I just actually say that? "Well, the thing is, it's his voice that's injured. He is currently unable to speak. Which is refreshing," Jayvon grunts, and I laugh in spite of my worries. It sounds like an irritated Alpha might have just whacked him. And if that is the case, he can't be too sick. "I'm switching to facetime. He wants to see you," Jayvon says. A minute later, the screen shows Enzi lying in a hospital bed, much like mine. I have accepted his video but have yet to turn mine on. Reason being that he'll demand to know why I'm in a ho
The Alpha's Secret Luna Chapter 48
**** Enzi **** The last thing I remembered was Simon and the hospital floor. Now I am in a fracking wildflower meadow. What the hell? How is Simon? My mate! Oh, holy Goddess, my mate! "She's fine. Or she will be." I turn toward the calming, musical voice and see a gorgeous woman with silvery blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. I recognize her immediately. Three and a half years ago, I dreamed of this woman, and she told me to go to the ball where I met Alyssa. When I recounted that dream to my mother, she was convinced I'd met the Moon Goddess, and at the time, I wasn't, but now I am. Of course, it's rare, but in every generation, a few people claim to have met her. It's why our belief remains so strong. "You're the Moon Goddess!" I feel an unusual sense of panic. That's definitely not a familiar feeling for me, except when my mate is concerned. But here I am in the presence of a literal God; that, or Doctor Dan has given me some good drugs today. "Yes, my child. Though, I go by m

**** Enzi **** In total, the labor was about two hours. I tried to ignore it, but with shifter hearing, it was hard not to hear the doctor's orders to push. I heard that humans often experience a whole day of labor, and I'm glad our Moon Goddess was kinder to shifter women. I've visited plenty of the packs' new moms here in this very hospital to know that the shifter labor can be anything between 1 and 5 hours. "She's had the baby." Simon's voice interrupts my thoughts, and I promptly leap to my feet. Usually, I would say congratulations, but that doesn't seem to fit this situation. "Girl? Boy?" They had wanted to be surprised this time around. "A girl. She wanted a girl," Simon says with obvious sadness. "Healthy, I assume?" "Yes. She's perfect." "And Carin?" I ask.. "She'll be healed by morning," he shrugs. Good. We still have questions. I pat Simon on the shoulder. I don't know if there are any words to heal his broken heart right now, and I've never really been good at

**** Alyssa **** "What about my friends?" I question, trying to sound calm, but I know I've just snapped, and I am well aware that my voice sounds higher-pitched than usual. "Oh, they are fine; everything is fine. Don't worry. I was going to tell you what we learned," he hastily says, obviously sensing my rising panic. "You could have started with that," I flop into the armchair and dangle my legs over the side, feeling slightly annoyed but definitely relieved. "Carin was right about my father taking Marc and Dara's pack and killing their father," he says. I had a feeling she wasn't lying about that. I suck in a breath, "How are they?" My voice is tight and whispery. I wish I could be there for them both. What a crappy way to learn about the father you never knew. "Well, I was just a baby when it happened, so I don't know much other than the basic facts as reported to me. We have a few old warriors in the pack we've been able to talk to. We've confirmed; theirs was one of the

**** Alyssa **** As the plane makes to land on the small private runway in the jungle, I feel my nervousness spike. I don't know a lot about this grandfather of mine, and I've never been to South America before. I'd known, growing up, that my mother was Brazilian, and even though she shared some of her culture with me, this still all seem so foreign, yet at the same time, it feels oddly like home. "You're quiet," Adrian commented with a small, amused smile. We are driving down a road flanked by thick rainforests that I can't keep my eyes off; it is like the trees are calling to me. "I'm just… I want to explore." That's true, but not the full extent of my current feelings. "He's going to love you. He already loves you," Adrian answered my biggest fear without my having to express it. A surge of gratitude caused my smile to twitch. "Thanks," I said, not quite sure what else to say and definitely not willing to admit how much those words affected me. I know my parents loved me an

**** Alyssa **** Three dead. It hurts my heart to see three wolves dead because of me. One looks young, probably my age, and the other two look older. I recognize the older two from the files I examined years ago, but I only remember a little about them as individuals. And that just makes me feel worse. All three must have families who love them; I wonder if the young man had met his mate yet? Just then, a familiar and unexpected voice breaks my revelry. That is a voice I haven't heard in person in many years, and it takes a moment for me to fully register who it is. "Well, I never should have trusted a rogue to do a Luna's job." My brain was still grappling with her words, and I couldn't quite process what she meant. What the heck is she doing here? A heavily pregnant Carin steps out of the plane with a smug grin, and a gun pointed right at me. "Aunt Carin?" This does not make sense. If she's here, does that mean she had something to do with my parents' deaths? And how did

**** Enzi **** I thought my heart would explode when she suggested staying in my room last night. It took her a while to fall asleep, I could sense her nerves, but I could also sense that she was starting to need me, want me. She finally rolled her back to me and tucked herself in as my baby spoon. Fracking perfect! "Is this alright?" she'd asked. "Yep," my answer was short because having her heavenly self this close to me set my soul on fire. I was desperately trying to think unsexy thoughts so that she wouldn't feel the rapidly hardening buddy poking her from behind. When I did fall asleep, it was the first time in a long time that I felt this at ease. Now, the golden glow of the sun is just tinting my room. I'm sure I didn't get much sleep, but having my gorgeous mate beside me, feeling safe and comfortable with me, made me feel fully refreshed regardless of how much sleep I had. "I love you, Alyssa. Even if you don't love me yet, I will always love you," I whisper while she
