Chapter Seven
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Everly, I'm surprised to see you."
I sit across the desk from Johnathon, the pack's lawyer and a very old friend of mine. He'd originally been the lawyer to my old pack but had left for a better opportunity, being the lawyer to Killian's pack.
"What can I do for you?"
"I want to divorce Killian." I say bitterly.
His brows shoot up, and he scratches the back of his head. "I see. What happened?"
I narrowed my eyes on him. "I feel like you can guess."
"Yes... yes. I've seen him and that May girl together." He gives me a look of pity.
"I'm not here so you can feel bad for me, I'm here to figure out what needs to be done and if I'll have anything to start a new life with."
He nods, leaning forward to start clicking on his computer. "Well. I can tell you right now, as the main overseer of contracts between this pack and outsiders, you are the sole holder of several businesses. It looks like..." He clicks around on his computer for a minute. "You've got seven. A club, two parking garages, three retail spots, and a very large share of a hotel."
I let out a small breath I didn't know I'd been holding. At least I would have something to start my new life with.
"Those are your main premarital assets. You also have a property that was left to you by your parents."
My heart aches in my chest at the thought of my parents. My father and brothers had been killed during what at the time, we all thought was a small disagreement between packs. When I got news of this, I had gone back to my old pack, to see my mother. But I only discovered ruin, everything burned down, all members either gone or dead. They'd been amazing parents and excellent leaders of their pack. I often wonder if I could have helped prevent these tragedies if I hadn't married Killian and had lived with them all along.
"I'll have to send an official request to the committee since you are Luna, and there are several things both you and Killian will need to sign."
I nod, wringing my hands out in my lap. Jonathan stops working for a second and looks me in the eye then.
"Are you sure about this, Everlyn? I don't know exactly what's happening between you and Killian, but it would make me feel very guilty if I pushed for something as massive as divorce over a problem that could have been solved with a conversation."
I smirk, shaking my head. "Killian has gotten May pregnant, Jonathan. She's his destined mate, and they've both made it perfectly clear to me I am only in the way of them being together." I stare him in the eyes, so he'll know how serious I really am.
He shrugs, nods once more, and turns back to his computer. "As you wish, Luna."
I had spent five hours with Johnathon, mostly because we were waiting for the committee to respond back to him. He said with Killian having been unfaithful, not to mention publicly scandalous, there should be no problem in us separating.
Sure enough, they gave their approval, and Johnathon got the official papers printed out for me. I signed my half, and said I'd get the rest signed by Killian. Jonathan had said he was sorry for what I was having to go through, and wished me luck.
It starts to drizzle when I leave the law office and I head home to pack things up. I'll probably leave behind all my dresses and fancy shoes, I can't see why I would be needing those anytime in my future.
I sigh a little as I grab a stack of leggings out of my dresser, moving back to the bed where I had my biggest suitcase open and was loading it up with my clothes.
I still a little where I've been carefully organizing my legging when I hear the front door opening. I can hear Killian's heavy footsteps coming towards the bedroom.
I close my eyes for a second, taking a deep breath in and preparing myself for the conversation we're about to have.
I don't look up when the bedroom door opens and he walks in. He doesn't say anything to me, just peels his shirt off over his head and throws it in the hamper. I can hear him behind me getting a towel out of the closet.
"I'm going to shower, then we can have sex."
I furrow my brow in genuine confusion, still not turning to face him. Why the hell would we have sex?
Looking at the calendar on the nightstand, I realize then it's our "designated" time, the full moon was in two days. I shake my head a little, irritation rising in my chest.
"Killian, we need to talk." I finally say, turning around. I jump a little when I realize how close he's standing to me. I gulp a little at the sight of him without a shirt on, because despite him being a piece of shit, he was still very attractive.
I try not to look at his defined sex lines disappearing into his jeans as he stares down at me with those dark eyes of his.
I hated him so much a few moments ago, how could I still be feeling so drawn to him?
"I don't think we do." He grumbles, placing a hand on either one of my shoulders. When he does, for some reason, I get a flash of May smiling up at him warmly, and him returning her affection.
"NO!" I say more firmly, pushing him back a little by shoving his chest. "Killian, I'm done. I will no longer be your Luna."

"You're being unusually uncooperative." I glare at Killian from where he still stands far too close to me. I feel like I'm being pretty clear about not wanting to have sex with, to be honest. But it doesn't stop him from shoving my suitcase off the bed and onto the floor, pushing me onto the bed and climbing on top of me. "Fine, you win. I won't even take a shower." His eyes flash dangerously. I can feel his hands running up my side and under my shirt. His hands feel slightly wrong on my skin, but I can still feel myself shivering against his touch."Get off!" I demand when he grabs one of my wrists with his free hand and holds it down against the bed. I falter for a moment when his lips find my neck and they start sloppily kissing me like he knew I liked. I feel my feet sliding down and my back arching at how good it feels. My knees fall apart and he settles in a little, our hips connecting. I can feel him grinding against me, and I hear myself moaning a little as he starts kissin

"Your cortisol levels are through the roof, Mrs. Hunt. What have you been up to since the last time I saw you?" I look bashfully away from Dr. Monroe, who is staring at me over the rim of his reading glasses as he flipped through my blood work results. "Nothing much..." I muse. "Hm." Is all he says, glancing between me and the paperwork. "Well. I can tell you one thing. Your baby is at a very high risk right now." He says seriously, setting the clipboard down finally. He takes off his glasses and makes eye contact with me. "I can recommend some vitamins and safe over the counter medications, but in my professional opinion, you need to find something stronger, especially if you're going to be going through a rejection soon." I feel my face heating up with embarrassment. He knew? Of course he did. Everyone probably knew, by now. I wonder if it was Killian, May, or someone at the committee who leaked the news that Alpha and Luna were splitting up. "What would you recommend?" I ask
The Chosen Luna's True Mate Chapter Ten
"Excuse me." I mutter when I accidentally brush shoulders with someone walking by, probably making their way from one crowded bar to the next.I unlocked my phone and glance at the time; Almost eleven PM. I haven't been out this late since I'd married Killian. I eye a couple walking by, the woman was drunk and dressed in tight clothing, the man supporting her weight and leering down her low cut top. I flip the hood up on my hoodie, turning my head to the ground as I slip by. I have to look around a little, but finally I'm sneaking into Red Vine, a fairly lowkey pool hall tucked between a place that sold organs on the black market and an alleged great place to get pancakes. Honestly, the only reason Red Vine was lowkey was because the owner was a no bullshit kind of guy. From what I heard, he never tried to stop or stand in the way of shady deals happening in his business, but he would break everyone's face's involved if trouble was stirred up because of it. The inside was dark, and

My eyes are locked onto Killian’s as he walks past where Beatrice and May are still glaring at me. He stops a few inches away from me, his cool, sharp smell washing over. I always loved the way he smelled.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Killian asks me lowly. “If you back down now, we can still work all this out.” There are so many emotions swimming around in his eyes; guilt, regret, longing. It almost makes me want to put a stop to this whole thing right now. I can’t do this, I can’t leave my pack and my husband. There are too many unknowns at play here. I still haven’t figured out where I am going to go after this, and I am with my pup. Is this actually the best move? But then I hear a noise of disapproval from May, and my eyes meet her’s. No. I can’t fall for it. Think of how you felt when you caught them in the act. Think of how it felt to hear Killian say you were just another hole for him to fuck. Killian has lost his respect for me and this marriage, there was nothin

God, I could already hear the pack members around us speculating on what could be happening right now. “Do you know who that is? Sebastian Knight. He’s the Alpha of the Knight pack.”“Doesn’t he have a chair on the committee?” “Ruthless.” “We don’t want to be on his bad side.” I feel a little nervous, and a little shocked, at the whispers around us. Was he really the Alpha of the Knight pack? They were the strongest pack in the nation, the only one above us, and very elusive when it came to business deals or pack partnerships. I hadn’t ever been able to get a response from anyone at that place.Now I had to think it was because I had accidentally made enemies with the Alpha. “What are you doing here, Sebastian?” I look up at the once small framed boy, my eyes scanning over his now sculptured face and formidably large build. I try to tune out the talking coming from the crowd, and the feel of Killian’s eyes glaring into me for a second. Sebastain could just be here to make sure e

“Everly?” I moan, sitting up and rubbing at the side of my throbbing head. “Slowly, you hit your head pretty hard.”“Is she okay?” “Luna, are you leaving for real?” “Shh. She just woke up. Don’t make her mad.” I blink my eyes a little, confused at what I was seeing in front of me. I was in Killian and I’s old room, laying on top of the made bed with Sebastain and six children I had funded standing around me. Why were the kids here? I don’t want to get too full of myself and say I’m close to them, but I make a special effort to take children like these under my wing.“How are you feeling?” I jump a little at Sebastain’s hand touching me on the lower back as I sit up a little more. I’m not quite ready to get all cozied up to him, so I feel myself scooting away a little. Before I even answer him, a panicked thought shoots through my head. I hope my baby is okay. My hands instinctively reach for my belly, like I’ll be able to somehow tell if it’s okay that way. “Don’t worry. It’s f

Killian's POVI had tried everything to get the smell of Everly out of the room we once shared. But I swear, even though the bedsheets were brand new, they still smelled like lilacs, same as she once did.I lean on the railing of the balcony May had insisted we add to the bedroom, watching the sun setting in the sky as I drink whiskey from a flask I’d taken to carrying around with me. I imagine the nagging Everly would have given me if she saw how much I was drinking these days. But I couldn’t help it. The whiskey was turning into the only way to quell the everpresent irritation that had been lingering in my gut since my wife had left me. I scoff a little when I think about how quickly Everly had given our lives up together. I mean, all those years of making it clear the only thing she cared about was moving up in the world, and she runs the second things get rocky? She gave up everything, her home and pack, all the nice things we’d worked so hard to obtain. For the longest time, s

Killian's POVTwo Years later… “We’re going to have to stop giving lessons to young wolves. We don’t have enough pack members to spare anymore, and we could honestly use their help anyways. There are things they can be doing aside from learning how to do algebra.” I command. “I see.” I shoot my eyes up at Lucas, who is standing on the other side of my desk with a blank expression on his face. Though his face was smooth, I knew Lucas well. What I had just said might have broken the last bit of respect for me he had. “Just do it.” I growl, turning around in my chair to get away from his judgement-filled eyes. He doesn’t say anything else, I just hear him walking away and the door to my office closing behind him. I sigh heavily, and lean forward in my chair to hang my head. To say I had let my pack slip away from me, was an understatement. For the first six months after Everly left me, I was a wreck. I drank a minimum of two bottles of whiskey every day, and that number in

“Killian?! Wake up!” I’m hovering over Killian now, gently holding either side of his face. There’s blood all over, his nose is definitely broken, and his eyes are swollen shut. Serena still hasn’t shut up about what a monster I am in the background, even though Sebastain had already been dragged off by a couple of his pack members. I wish she would’ve gone with him, because she was only adding to the chaos. A couple committee members were holding her back by the arms as she yelled at me what a manipulative piece of shit I was, and that if her son died, I was the reason. Adam was one of the guys holding her, and I could tell by the look on his face, he had no idea what to do right now.“Please.” I lean down to Killian’s ear, kissing it softly. My heart races in my chest when I hear him groan, and his head rolls to the side a little. That was proof, he was alive, and that’s all I needed right now.“Luna, we must help him.” I look up to the voice talking to me, my eyes wide and franti

“Ladies and Gentlemen!” I blink a little, trying to pull myself out of the whirlwind of thoughts going on inside my mind right now as Serena starts speaking to the gathered packs. “Today, we are witnessing the challenge of two Alphas-”I hear a voice clearing, and look up to Felix, who is standing in between Killian and Sebastain. Serena sighs, and rolls her eyes. “Two Alphas and a… him.” She waves her hand dismissively at Felix, but he just grins that evil smile of his and waves at the crowd. “For the right to rule over all attending packs.” I notice she left out the real reason this challenge was even happening, to see who would have me as their Luna. She was one of the ones I’d heard him talking shit about me to, so I don’t know why she even cared. She already knew how he really felt, right? I look up then at Sebastian, who is already looking at me. His dark gaze stares into mine, and I swallow thickly. He’s mouthing something at me, something I can’t quite make out. I tilt my h

“You’ll be over here, so you can see.” I nod at the pack member who led me through the crowd of buzzing people, all gathered to watch the challenge ceremony that was set to start in thirty minutes. All the normal pack members were standing in a loose circle in the middle of Sebastain’s pack lands, while myself, Camilla, and the committee members sat at the front in chairs they’d placed for us. Camilla and I were the only ones actually sitting, side by side now. The rest of the committee members were standing off to the side a little, talking amongst themselves.“How was your night?” I ask her as we both watch the pack members interacting, all of them excited for the fast approaching fight. I could practically feel the energy buzzing in the air. I glance at her, and notice her chewing on her lip a little, instead of grinning ear to ear like I thought she would be.“What’s wrong? What happened?” I ask. I had been expecting her to immediately start gushing about hooking up with Lucas,
The Chosen Luna's True Mate Chapter Eighty-Three-Everly's POV
I walk back to Sebastain’s place, my arms crossed and my mind whirring with thoughts of what I had just done. I definitely should not have just hooked up with Killian. But it’s like I couldn’t help myself. Hearing Sebastain call me simple, laugh at me with his mom and dumb committee members like I was some immature little girl, it just made me so mad. I wanted to get back at him, and even though I didn’t plan on running to him and rubbing it in his face, I still felt a weird sense of satisfaction from what I’d just done. I walk in the front door, heading upstairs to my room, rather than heading back to the party still going on in the backyard. I hadn’t really been in the party mood before, and I definitely wasn't now. I sigh, and walk to my bed, collapsing onto it with a heavy sigh. These past couple days have been draining as hell. My body and my mind are tired of working overtime, and I can feel it really sinking in as I lay there in the quiet dark of my room.I wish everything

Nothing had ever felt as right as holding Everly in my arms at that moment. Feeling her hot breath on my neck as I grinded my length into her, her fingers clutching at my shoulders as she gasped and moaned my name. I hadn’t gotten to be with her like this in way too long, and while it hadn’t been the thing I missed the most about her, I can't lie and say I didn’t crave this a little. “Fuck I missed you.” I groan into her ear as I grab her tightly under the ass, her back hitting the tree I had her pinned against with every thrust inside of her. “You smell so good…” I mutter as I bury my face in her collarbone and kiss her warm, soft skin. My mind was blank, thinking only of how good it felt to be buried inside her again, her wetness leaking out onto me with every motion. I could feel her thighs clenching, the heat of her body radiating off her. Why did I ever give this up? Why did I ever think May was better than her? “Killian… I’m going to…” she gasps, her grip on me tightening eve
The Chosen Luna's True Mate Chapter Eighty-One
I walked quickly through the pack grounds, towards where I knew Sebastain and the other committee members were probably drinking whiskey worth more than my left kidney. No way they would be caught drinking cans of seltzer with lowly common pack members. Sure enough, the lights were on in the guest house Adam was staying in, and laughter was spilling out of the slightly cracked windows. I guess since Adam was the head of the committee, they always came to his house. I walk onto the porch about to enter, but stop with my hand on the knob when I hear Serena saying my name. “There’s no way Everly has it in her to run a pack of this size efficiently. I don’t know why you keep entertaining this.” She says in a snotty tone. I can feel irritation rising in my chest, but think to myself, Sebastian will stand up for me. He won’t let his mother talk about me like that when I’m not even in the room to defend myself. “Just because she’s a little simple doesn’t mean she won’t do a fine job.” I
The Chosen Luna's True Mate Chapter Eighty
As it turned out, the packs were actually pretty good at getting along. I suspect it had something to do with the ridiculous amount of alcohol that was being consumed by every single person here tonight.Both Killian and Sebastain had brought home giant sized deer for us to cook that night, so we ended up making a bonfire thirty or so feet away from Sebastain’s house. The deer had been skinned and sliced, and now you could grab a piece, a skewer, and roast your meat over the fire. When everyone had first shown up, things had been very tense. It was kind of like a middle school prom, where the boys sit on one side and the girls sit on the other. Except the split was between the two groups of wolves. Ashton had actually been the one to break the tension a little, and I had a mental note to send him a bottle of whiskey or something after, because without him, I’m not sure what would’ve happened. Him and his group of ducklings had shown up a bit later than everyone else, but only beca

That night, we decide to have a party with both Sebastian and Killians pack. I had gone over to the house the committee members were staying in with Sebastain to discuss Felix’s challenge. They were are understandably shocked, and a little confused as to why Sebastain even accepted the challenge. They talked for way too long about it, but in the end, Sebastian said he couldn’t back out now even if he wanted to. The challenge had been laid out, and he had accepted of his own free will. The only way out was submission or victory. I again found myself worrying about who Felix really was as the committee members expressed their concern over Sebastain fighting him. Where did this guy come from? Why did he get kicked out his pack? Why did Serena and all the other committee members seem so apprehensive about Sebastain going up against him? What did they know that I didn’t? Lucas and Camilla had been the ones to suggest it (wonder why) and at first I’d been kind of against it. It had seemed

“We’ll need to move the ceremony outside, with the rogues joining in now there won’t be enough room outside.” I tell one of Sebastain’s pack members as I walk to the meeting hall with them at my side. They nod, and break away from me to hurry off with their new instructions. I don’t know how his pack had learned about the new challenger so quickly, considering it'd happened all of an hour ago. But as soon as I’d walked out of Sebastain’s house, the guards had immediately approached me, asking if it was true that Sebastain had been challenged by the rogue King. Then when I had started walking to the meeting hall to see if any of the committee members were lingering around, one of the event organizing pack members had approached, asking if the space we had planned to use for the ceremony would still work. They were who I was talking and walking with now.I hadn’t been able to find Sebastain again, I’m assuming he’d probably turned into a wolf and was tearing through his land somewhere,
