25 - RykerI walk into my room and slam the door a little too hard then lean against it. How is it possible for one person to affect me this much? I am suffocating in my suit now. I rip my jacket off and toss it onto the desk chair. Then turn on the lamp on my bedside table, giving me just a hint of light. That was the single hottest interaction with a woman I have ever had and I didn’t even touch her. She knew what buttons to push and exactly what to say to get me even more riled up. I’m pacing my floor as the tension is building at the thought of her, not subsiding.Top that with walking into the ballroom tonight. I found her immediately and holy f*cking sh*t! My heart stopped as soon as I found her. Seeing her from a distance at the training grounds did not do her justice. Her hair pulled high making her neck look long, giving me the perfect view of where my mark will go. The cut of her dress showing off where her shoulder meets her neck. Her red lipped smile sent a signal st
26 - KennedyThe absolute hottest thing happened and I can’t tell anyone about it. I can’t talk to any of the guys, they will lose their minds. They don’t ever want to hear about me having s*x, even though it is a very large portion of their own conversational skills. And I can’t tell Rayna, because it was with her brother. She won’t want to hear about it any more than I want to hear about Jeremiah. Bleh.I was so drenched and my cl*t was so swollen that I had to rub another one out in the shower and it was almost as hot as when I was standing next to his balcony listening to his pants and grunts and the slight slap of his fist when he slammed down to his pelvis. And the growl that reverberated across the small space of the balcony between us sent shock waves through me, I came so hard and even the friction from walking back into my room had me ready to go again.Then I was lying in bed tossing and turning, and once again throbbing in between my legs. I couldn’t sleep and did some
27 - RykerI have not slept that great in a long time. Maybe I have to have that many org*sms every night. That would be heaven and exhausting all at the same time, but I guess that’s the point. I get up and shower, again. All I can picture is her in her short little dress last night. My wolf is mad we didn’t get to see her when she came for us. I think it would have made everything worse. Yeah this girl is trouble.I throw on some shorts and head out to do my usual run around the pack. I head down the back stairs towards the kitchen. I’m not in the mood for twenty questions or a game of ‘avoid-the-wh*re’ and I know at least one of them is hanging out waiting for me to come down.It’s strange how in less than 24 hours the thought of one of them pulling me into the nearest unoccupied room and giving me a blow job before my run is unappealing, when yesterday, if I was home, I would have let that very thing happen.Now I have Jean and my wolf in my head, on top of just something i
28 - KennedyAt one point the ball is kicked out of bounds towards us and she jumps up and stops it easily. This kid has natural skills that are being wasted sitting around waiting for her turn.A boy just a few years younger than me runs over. “Hey, Em, thanks for the stop. Who’s your new friend?” I stand as the boy eyes me up and down. He doesn’t wait for a response. “I’m Todd, Emily’s brother. And you are?” He lets the question hang while giving me a smile that must work on girls his age.I laugh a little under my breath and extend my hand. “Kennedy, one of Alpha Jeremiah’s warriors. Nice to meet you.”“Oh, man. That’s awesome. We’re in training too.” He points to himself, then randomly behind him.“When do you guys usually train?”“This afternoon. The Alpha likes to train with his warriors on Saturdays so no one is allowed in the training grounds until he’s done.”“So you guys usually come out here and play while you wait?”“Yeah, most of the time.”“How often do you work
29 - RykerAs much as it bugs me that my Beta, Gamma and Delta are all shacked up with girls and shirking their responsibilities, I am enjoying the peace of running by myself through my pack. The damp earth in my paws feels amazing and the stretch and pull of my muscles this early releases any tension I was holding.Running like this allows me to clear my head and think. I have to get Claude under control and I’m afraid the only way is for him to return to the Moon Goddess. But if he has his claws in too many people in his area, that might start an uprising and get innocent people hurt or killed. I hope Robin will be able to help me flush out the key players so we can either turn them to our side or handle them as a group and make a very messy example of what it looks like to go after me and my pack.I also have to figure out this mate thing. I really need to talk to Jeremiah and get some background on her. She didn’t appear to have any kind of pack mark or brand. So I don’t know
30 - KennedyI got a lot of looks from the group of warriors sidling up to the training grounds from their cars and even Alpha Ryker looked puzzled by my entourage. He was more subtle about it though, standing behind his truck drinking water. I avoided eye contact with him though, not sure how I feel about what happened last night. I did notice the sheen of sweat on him, and tried not to let my thoughts wander while I am standing in the middle of all of these kids.“Can you come to our training?” Emily asks, bringing my attention back to her. “I want to show you how good I am.” She shadow boxes for me.I laugh. “I don’t know what my plans are for the rest of the day, but if I can, I totally will come watch you.” She wraps her tiny arms around my waist and gives me a hug, which I return. Then I fist bump the guys and say quick goodbyes as they head back in the direction that we came from.“And where have you been all morning? We all tried to reach you.” Jeremiah wraps me in a he
31 - Ryker Why would he be worried about her? Why was she alone if they couldn't reach her? And why the hell can’t they reach her? He said he hates it when she disappears like that. Does she disappear often? My mind is going crazy. My chest is clenching in panic at the thought of her being lost and she’s right in front of me. I really want to go to her, to hold her. That would calm me and my wolf down, but we can’t, not yet. My mate is safe in my pack, but she was alone and no one knew where she was, no protection with her. Oh, f*ck! I take a deep breath in and out. We need to stay calm, otherwise I might shift uncontrollably. I haven’t done that since my first shift. I keep reminding my wolf that no one knows she is our mate and this is not how she is going to find out, if I decided to tell her at all. I follow everyone in and try to calm my mind and my wolf’s mind as we go. I need to listen to the conversation. There has to be a reason why. Thank the Goddess for Greta. She is at
32 - Ryker “I’m getting that vibe. But it makes sense if you and her are tied together somehow. She’s an Alpha female and they are worse than we are.” I smile trying to lighten the mood. That was a lot of information that I don’t think ever would have given me. He laughs, “Don’t I know it. And of course, I’m mated to one. I think I am going to have my hands full, especially if Ken comes back to live in the pack after college. It’s what my mom wants. And she wants to be close to the business her mom set up before she was born.” “Not happening Jer-bear, deal with it. She’s staying here. She’s Dark Moon Pack now.” My wolf let his possession ripple through me. “We can’t say that yet, we haven’t claimed her.” I’m interested to know what business she has and my mind starts wandering to ways that we could move it here. “Then claim her you f*cking moron. She is ours!” “She has plans and we have to respect that too.” As much as that thought has my heart and stomach rolling, I have to trea
31 - GretaWalking down the hall, I hear Landon and Ryker. “Yeah, we don’t know what happened exactly. The fire was just too big and everyone was running around. Peyton and I were at training and someone came in and yelled ‘FIRE’ then all the kids went crazy. Peyton and I ran together, cause we’re neighbors but the wind was too bad and there were sparks everywhere. I got burned on the arm and she told me we can’t search anymore. We told you how we found Gabriel and Trinity. Do you think that our parents are still alive?” I finally hear a whisper of the little boy he is in the question.“I hope so buddy. But you are here now and you can stay as long as you want to. In the morning I’ll have my guys start looking into your pack’s situation, now that we have an idea of what happened. You have done a great job protecting your pack. Your parents and your alpha will be so proud.”“Speaking of the littles,” I step into Bennet’s room where they are sitting on the bed. They both look over a
30 - GretaThis little doll of a girl is wrapped in Finn’s arms like a koala. She tucks her face back under Finn’s chin so she can look at me while maintaining full contact with him. Her posture is shy, but the look in her eye is most definitely not. It is almost territorial. My wolf grumbles in my head before I remind her that this baby has been through a lot and isn’t a threat. But she knows my name. That is interesting.“Oh! I am so excited to see you all!” Kennedy gushes unable to help herself. “Are you hungry? Samuel said you hunted before you left your camp. Or are you tired? We’re going to set you up here with us tonight.”“I’m hungry!” The youngest boy says and we all laugh.“Gabriel, you’re always hungry.” The oldest girl laughs at him.“Well Gabriel, you are in luck, I just had the fridge stocked. I’m always hungry too.” Kennedy giggles, patting her stomach. “Let’s get a snack and then you can all get cleaned up and in bed. Sound good?” She reaches her hand out to him. H
29 - FinnI give her fingers a squeeze and shift to follow Landon and Gabriel to get water. I lose count of how many trips we make, but Landon is smart and kept them close to a stream so it wasn’t terrible. Seth and Sameul talk the kids through what they do to process the deer and how we use everything. Nothing goes to waste. We eat and use the deer skin to hold what we don’t consume. Trinity doesn’t leave my side and only breaks contact to eat. Her cute little hand is wrapped around my pinky finger and her warm body is pressed up into my side.All the kids are fascinated with the whole food prep process, asking question after question to Seth as he cooks and hands off finished pieces of meat. After, we all wash off in the stream and head back to sit around the fire, talking comfortably. “You know you remind me of a friend of mine.” I tell Trinity.“I do? Who?” She has gotten more confident around us, but her voice is still strong, but shy.“Her name is Greta and your hair is almos
28 - FinnHe pads over to the opening and crawls in. I can hear muffled talking, but I don’t try to listen in. If she’s younger than Gabriel, she’s just a baby and I have no idea where her mind might be at. Other than my friends we never came across too many pups in our journey and I always thought that was because situations like Sammmy’s and mine were a fluke. But after seeing these kids, I wonder if it’s because they didn’t survive long enough to get help.I hear a little squeak behind me as Gabriel sits next to me. When I turn he shrugs his shoulders. I guess that means I’m up. I chance a slight look and my breath catches. This tiny little thing is huddled in a ball next to the opening, staring right back at me. Her body language says she’s afraid, but her eyes tell me a different story. She has piercing green eyes that are hard and fierce. Her look is almost a dare to go over there and see what she’ll do to me.I keep my ass on the ground and lift my hand in a wave. “Hi.” I say
27 - FinnI hear a grumbled ‘jackass’ from one of them. I try to fight a smile, kind of. “The Luna said you need help, what can I do? The Alpha is already planning how to remove my head from my body for leaving my partner alone to defend the Luna…”“WHAT!?! Why in the hell would you leave her?” The bulkier of the two warriors steps towards me.I throw my hands up. “Because SHE had a pregnant tantrum about rescuing these kids! I chose to piss off the lesser of the two evils! Have either of you dealt with a pregnant she wolf?” Both males stop in their tracks and share a look before laughing. “Wait. What’d I miss?”“I take it you don’t have kids?” Lean man asks.“No?” “The Luna is intense on her own, the hormones are making it tenfold. The name’s Samuel.” The larger built warrior says extending his hand to me. I shake it, a little confused. “Finn, nice to meet you I guess.” That’s it? All I had to do was tell them their Luna scared the crap out of me and they decide I’m not a threat?
26 - FinnWe can’t catch a break. Every time I get Greta to talk to me about this whole mate thing, something interrupts. Neither of us is stupid enough to go against our very pregnant luna though.“What’s up Boss lady?” Greta puffs out. Even she isn’t immune to these f*cking stairs.“Samuel and Seth found some abandoned pups on the border.” She screeches.“I don’t understand.” I step forward, but stay behind Greta’s shoulder. I haven’t been around many pregnant she-wolves, but I have heard they can go from sweet to violent in a blink and Kennedy is still getting used to the heightened emotions of her wolf. She’s less likely to hurt Greta in this situation.“They need your help! What’s not to understand?!” She’s frantically running her fingers through her hair, pacing and I am at a loss. I look sideways at my mate. Greta’s glassy eyed, meaning she’s hopefully getting some insight from the alpha.“Luna…LUNA!” She finally looks at me. “Can you give me more details? Are they being c
25 - FinnDeal. That’s all we were told, to deal. I am now stuck here, for who knows how long with her. I can’t deal witht this right now, I have to get out of here.“I’m going to go look around.” I drop my bag and scurry to the door.“Finn, wait..”I don’t hear anything else she says as I spring like a coward down the hall, down the stairs, past a confused Kennedy and out to the massive patio. I’m panting, my lungs won’t take in air. I can’t do this. I can’t be around her. Her scent in the car was difficult enough to deal with. I am the most relaxed and at the same time the most tense than I have been in weeks.“You need to calm down. This is a good thing.”“How can it be a good thing?! I was just getting used to not being around her.”“You get another shot, that’s why it’s a good thing!”“I don’t want it. She doesn’t want me. I am a rogue with nothing. Just let me reject her and we can move on. The rest of our group is settled and Ryker is going to make them all pack soon.”“NO!
24 - FinnI slide out of the SUV looking around. This feels like a trap, and yet none of the usual alarms are going off in my head. My wolf and I have established a decent radar for bad situations. Avoiding them is our top priority. I’m not sure what it is about Kennedy and Ryker, but I have not had one single instance of distrust with either of them the entire time we have been in the Dark Moon pack.“Greta! Finn!” I whip around to see Kennedy at the top of a ridiculously tall staircase. “Well, don’t just stand there, come on!” She waves us up excitedly.It’s almost strange to have someone excited to see me. Nan was it, as far as I can remember, other than the pups at Dark Moon. But, they are excited to see most people, so they don’t really count. I always have Sammy and some of the other guys. We fight side by side and hope each one makes it out alive. We have had to leave guys behind and move forward, move on to the next location. I couldn’t tell you where we laid those people to
23 - GretaI sit and stare at the door for a long while. There’s no sound on the other side. He’s not showering or anything, just waiting for me to leave. I should feel relieved. He told me to go and I wish I could make my body do just that, but I’m locked here in place, my wolf is willing him to come out. His wolf is blocking her and I can feel her heartbreak. Something’s changed and she’s hurting. Add it to the list of things for me to feel guilty about.I stand, frustrated, and take a deep breath of his lingering scent, then get an idea. I run my hands on the pillows and blankets. Anything soft in this room I touch. At the very least, maybe he will sleep okay tonight. I need to talk to Kennedy, this is something I don’t know how to navigate. I still don’t want a mate. It’s not fair to Finn that I am broken and can’t be fixed. I don’t like the idea of him hurting over it either._It has been weeks and FInn is nowhere in sight. I can feel him when he’s near, but he is avoiding m
