49 - Kennedy“Kennedy. Hey Ken. You have to let go and wake up. Kennedy.” The last one comes out like a song.“What?” I grumble. I am so comfortable and I don’t think I had a nightmare, I don’t think I dreamed at all last night. I just want to curl up and fall back into the blissful darkness. I am so comfortable, I don’t want to move.“Luna, I need my alpha back.” My eyes fly open at Bennet’s words, and he laughs.“Don’t call me that.” I grumble and try to bury my face back into the pillow as he laughs.“Then let go of my alpha and get your butt up. We need to leave and your death grip on his fur is making things difficult. His wolf is not going to let him up until you let them go.”I don’t move, but I blink and look around and sure enough Ryker’s wolf is still laying in front of me. My arm is draped over the side of the couch and my fingers are threaded through the fur at the nape of his neck and balled into a fist. Maybe I did have a nightmare and don’t remember. I don’t u
50 - Kennedy“I don’t know what I am allowed to tell you. A lot of your questions are going to be better answered by the Alpha.” He pinches the bridge of his nose, but I can’t tell if he is frustrated with me or the situation.“The Alpha? Who spends so much time with me and enjoys long drawn out conversations?” I raise my eyebrow again as I slide into the booth and look around. “Speaking of, is anyone else joining us, or are we the only ones who didn’t eat?”“Everyone else is fine. You will always have hidden warriors around as backup. That is protocol by the way. Sometimes even the Alpha will patrol if we think there is a threat. He will want to keep you as safe as possible and that may include luring a potential problem away while it looks like you are just going about your day.”“I’m sorry for that by the way.”“What are you sorry about?”“I feel like you got the short end of the stick with me. You had to sit out in the hallway all night, had to run down a rogue wolf and take him
51 - Ryker“Bossman. Give me something, man. My ears are bleeding and she knows it.” Josh whines. “We could use her for torture tactics. Seriously. Anything. Let me tell her something. I could talk to her about f*cking stickers for all I care, just let me talk to her.”“No. I don’t know enough about her to know if she can be trusted with the most basic information. And all of you are quick to give her whatever she wants. Once she gets you talking, who knows what she will throw into the conversation. She already got Bennet at breakfast this morning.”“You mean on their date?” Danny throws in. Why he thinks now is a good time to piss me off, I do not know.“It wasn’t a f*cking date. And she got him to spill her entire security detail in a matter of seconds.”“That is something she should know about. Especially if something happens to me. She needs to know there is someone else close to feel safe.” Bennet is too gentle with her. She should just know that people are set to protect h
52 - KennedyAs we get back to my car, Danny is in the front seat and Jeeves is back to driving.“Jeeves! How was your run? Pleasant and uneventful I hope. Good to hear. Good to hear. Did you enjoy your time away from me? Catch up with any friends? Fight off any mean old rogues in my honor? No? That’s too bad. Maybe next time. I’m so glad we had this talk.” Danny is at least laughing and Jeeves is trying hard not to. Greta just looks confused. “Insanity is starting to kick in and I am having conversations out loud with myself since no one is allowed to talk to me. The silent treatment order is my favorite so far. It’s so great to be accepted and befriended by everyone. I feel so welcome and wanted by the warm reception.” I stick my tongue out and cross my eyes at her and she laughs.“It won’t be this bad when we get home. Security has to be tight and focused while we travel. I know that sucks for you, but maybe this will help.” She holds up my backpack. I don’t even know where
53- RykerThe rest of the drive is uneventful, thank the Goddess. I head straight for my office with Josh, letting Greta and Bennet get Kennedy settled back in her room. Another thing my wolf protested. He wants her with us, wants to help her heal from her scrapes. But she said she was fine, so I’m not worried about it. If she was really hurt and needed us, she would have said something when I asked. Edward’s pack seems to be settling into their new routine and other small pack problems are working themselves out. Rory, Nathan and Don are on board with the school, training facility and hospital outpost and are prepared to work around Claude. At least a few things are going my way.We take turns using the shower in my office, discussing the attack and what it could have meant. I didn’t tell Kennedy, but she wasn’t wrong. If they were after her specifically they would have tried to take her from the vehicle when it stopped. But, they attacked all four vehicles equally. But if
54 - KennedyI must be f*cking crazy or just in the process of losing my mind. After leaving Ryker and Bennet standing like morons outside Ryker’s office, I ran straight up to my room to change fully intending to take the run I want to take outside in the woods. But, as I was changing, I decided that was too predictable. If I am stuck here for the foreseeable future with a tyrant who just likes to have his way, I am going to be as unpredictable as possible.I throw my hair up in a ponytail and crack my door to make sure there isn’t anyone secretly spying on me in the hallway yet. When I see the coast is clear, I walk out and start a fast walk down one side of the hallway touching everything I can, lightly leaving a scent. When I get past the main stairway I circle back repeating the path a couple times so they can’t tell which way I am going. Then I head over to Ryker’s secret stairs. He hasn’t used them in a while. His cologne is almost nonexistent as I head down to the kitche
55 - Kennedy“Your Moon Goddess and Alpha think otherwise.” I turn back to Robin. I need to get away from Amy or my first, and probably last, act as Luna will be homicide.“You probably drugged him or something. Once it wears off he’ll throw you out with the rest of the trach.”Robin’s face twitches just a fraction, but she schools it quickly. Ooh, I need to take notes from her. “Amy, you are addressing the Luna, you should be more respectful. You were also told not to wander around the packhouse.”“But she just said not to call her ‘Luna.’ I was just following orders. I’m looking for Ryker, we were supposed to get together this morning.” Amy simpers and I almost lunge at her. Jealousy washes over my whole body. Logically I know she’s lying, but her words still hurt and piss me off. It takes everything I have to stay rooted to my spot, but this little b*tch isn’t going to just walk in here and act like she’s better than me. She certainly doesn’t need any ammo against me, and bea
56 - RykerIt’s been a week from hell. Well, weeks really, but this one has been the worst by far. She’s in my head and at the forefront of my thoughts at all times. I have had a semi since she came storming into my office demanding to run our first day here. I couldn’t even get off with anyone who tried, and they tried really, really hard. I don’t think I have ever had this much pent up energy in my entire life.My wolf and I had a huge fight the first time I let a woman go down on me since bringing Kennedy home. He was so pissed that while her brunette curls were bobbing up and down on my c*ck and I was picturing my mate’s blonde silky strands draped over me, he started planting images in my head of old men, gnarled old wolves and my mother just to kill the mood completely. Then he laughed for hours after. I just pulled the she-wolf off me and walked out and left her very confused and sitting in the middle of the floor while I had a limp d*ck dangling in between my legs.I have b
