34 - KennedyI have to be cool though. I cannot act like the freakish girls that I have seen around Jeremiah, or even Amy last night. These alphas have girls throw themselves at them all the time. Girls that only want a piece of the ‘alpha,’ not the guy who happens to have the title of alpha. He also doesn’t seem super happy about having to deal with the presence of a human. Although, I thought last night might have at least made him more open to me.We had a moment last night and then again on the training grounds. I know he could feel it too, see it in his eyes, even if he won’t admit it, but this little flirtation will end when I go back with Jeremiah, Rayna and the guys in a few days. I may never see him again after this. I just need to relax, he’s just a guy like all the other guys I hang out with daily. Just treat him like one of the guys. A really big, really hot, alpha male kind of guy. Just one of the guys. Just one of the guys. That’s the mantra I have in my head as he
35 - Ryker“Why don’t you just go and talk to her?” My wolf’s question has been the same everyday. Today we are watching Kennedy, Rayna and some of the guys play with the pups. It’s fascinating. It didn’t take much to convince him to stop on our border run.“I can’t trust you to behave yourself, that’s why.”“So you’re just going to hide like a p*ssy and then follow her around like a stalker instead. That makes so much more sense.”“I am not stalking her. I’m trying to understand her. Besides, she hasn’t made any effort to come to me either.”“That’s what you’re going with? Leaving your balcony door open hoping to hear her moaning your name is not an invitation to come talk to you. She’s also human and doesn’t have the same senses that we do. You’re going to have to be in the same room as her for her to talk to you, dumbass.”“I swear to the Goddess if Danny hugs her one more time, I am going to rip his arms off.” They know I am here and he’s doing it to get a reaction. It’s wor
36 - KennedyAs much as I want it, nothing else happens between Alpha Ryker and I again. In fact, I only caught glimpses of him coming and going from the pack house during the week and I didn't see him at all the last two days we had before heading back to Silver Crescent. I know he’s busy running a combined set of packs with probably thousands of pack members, but his room is right next door to mine and I can smell his cologne in the hallway and even on the balcony, so I know he’s still here. He’s just out of reach.Realistically we should have come across each other at least once or twice, but I feel like he’s avoiding me. And then I want to smack myself, because why should I even care? I have never wanted a second round with any of the guys I have been with. I even kept Ben at a distance, even though I’ve been with him a few times. I don’t know why this is different, but it is. As much as he riles me up, something about him settles me, although I’ll never admit that out loud.
37- KennedyAunt Beth had the Luna Ceremony planned in under a month. This woman does not waste time, she wants her son and his Luna settled and ready to bring in the next generation of the pack. AKA she wants grandbabies. I just have to laugh at her while she buzzes around the kitchen while I am doing my homework, or trying really hard to get it done. I could honestly do it in my room, but where would the fun in that be? The nice thing is, I worked really hard so I could start a few college courses during my senior year. So this semester is light with only a half class load, which has come in handy since apparently Jer finding his mate completely upends everyone’s world around here. Jeremiah never returned to school. He has been working full time with Uncle James, while Rayna has been with Aunt Beth planning the Luna Ceremony and getting to know the pack and what her duties are. I know that Aunt Beth volunteers a lot with the pack hospital and the school, but there is so much
38 - RykerAt this point I’m really thinking about taking everyone’s advice and just ripping Claude’s head off. We never caught him on our last visit. Somehow he managed to find out we were coming for him, meaning he has someone in my pack feeding him information. So we had to play it off like we were visiting to reprimand him for his lack of leadership ability and start our investigation over. This time inside our home pack. We were at least able to take care of the pack members that he had been neglecting. Josh and I found a few trusted members who seem to be handling things better than Claude or the people he put into place. At least I can bestow delta class ranks to those who deserve it. They now have authority to help and protect on my behalf and have a direct link to Danny and the rest of my team if needed. I told them to reach out directly to Robin for anything else they needed that Claude wasn’t providing. I’m done trying to be politically correct. I’m going to ice him
39 - RykerI have my fists balled to my sides and I can’t look away, but I am mentally willing him to release her. She just needs to know and understand that she can’t be that close to him, or any guy that looks at her like that, then my wolf will settle and we can go talk to them like a normal person.The exact opposite happens though. Something amusing is said and they all laugh. Ben grips her waist tighter and rubs circles on her hip bone with his thumb… and she leans into him. Oh f*ck no!“Easy, Alpha. Take a breath before you go over and rip his arms off. They don’t know because you are a dumbass and let your mate go.” Danny warns me. He knows me too well for my liking, but it’s for my own good.“F*ck off. You know how I feel about mates.” I growl, but take a deep breath anyway.“And yet, you are about to forcefully claim her in front of all her friends and family. You and your wolf need to figure this out. He doesn’t seem to share your thoughts on mates now that you have f
40 - RykerI grab her arm as she moves away from us. “What are you talking about? What’s wrong with her?” What other weakness could she possibly have? Naturally, when I need answers, my sister ignores me, so the rest of Jeremiah’s team leaves me guessing too. They clearly care more about her feelings than my anger.“You maybe should have talked to her before claiming and embarrassing her in front of her friends and family like an alpha-hole.” Rayna pulls her arm from my grasp and I just stare at her as she goes.What the hell just happened? Josh pats me on the shoulder as Jeremiah reaches out and shakes my hand.“It’ll be okay, just give Rayna a bit to calm Ken down. I guess congrats are in order, and maybe good luck.” He winces. “My mom is going to lose her mind when she finds out.” He chuckles under his breath then follows my sister in the house.“We’ll show you where you and your guys are staying.” Ben walks up to us with the delta, I think his name is Tommy. Ben is smart enough
41 - KennedyI know I’m being a brat, but I want nothing to do with the Dark Moon guys and I will avoid having to face them for as long as possible. Rayna explained the situation to Aunt Beth earlier this morning and she decided that we could eat and get ready in my room. My aunt spun it to sound like it would be a better surprise for the guys if they didn’t see us at all before the ceremony. I did not miss that I was included in the reveal plans. She is clearly Team Ryker on this. I will be fighting eye rolls all day.She gives me a crushing hug. “I told you that you were special, sweet girl. I can’t wait for your ceremony, I bet it will be so grand.” The woman is in La La Land and so far gone that she isn’t listening to reason.He doesn’t want me or any Luna if the rumors from his pack are true. Rayna won’t confirm or deny any of the reports I have asked about, which makes me angry, but I also don’t want to push. It’s not fair for me to put her in the middle of this situation.
