I stop at the edge of the parking lot of the OverNite inn, taking a second to catch my breath.

I had literally just run ten miles with two children strapped to my back.

The twins weren’t very happy right now, but there wasn’t much I could do.

I was finally here though, and I pulled my phone out and opened Lucas’s contact. I call him, waiting anxiously for him to pick up.

“Hey, you okay?” I sigh in relief when he answers.

“Yeah, I’m outside.” I hear him make a confused noise, and my eye is drawn to one of the ground level floors of the motel as the curtains are drawn from the inside. I hang up the phone and approach the room, eager to get the twins off me.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Lucas asks the second he opens the door.

I roll my eyes a little and step into the room, sighing in relief when I finally get to sit down on the edge of the bed. Lucas closes the door and crosses his arms, obviously waiting for me to explain.

“I found where Sebastain is keeping Killian. Bu

    Lucas drives me as far as he can to Sebastain’s lands, and I walk the rest of the way. I was glad, because running here the first time with the twins on my back had been a pain in the ass. He didn’t seem like he wanted to let me go, and it was sweet that he was so worried about me, but I had a purpose now. And that purpose was to find out what the hell Sebastain was up to and why there were so many coincidences piling up around him. I wanted to know how he knew May, if he even knew her at all because all of this was just speculation at this point. Lucas knew she came to his pack, but that didn’t mean she was coming to see him for sure. There were lots of people in Sebastain’s pack, and she could’ve been seeing any of them. I had been nervous as hell when I creeped back in the house just as the sun started to pierce the sky, the twins knocked out cold against my back. I was terrified Sebastain was going to be awake, waiting for me or in a furious rage at my absence. But he was liter

    I have thirty wolves so far that are willing to oppose Sebastain’s pack.I’m currently sitting in the bathtub, soaking while I text Lucas from my still secret phone. It had been sixteen hours since I’d snuck out, and so far, Sebastian seemed to be none the wiser. He had slept for another eight hours the day I had medicated him, than left a couple guards outside so he could go get some pack stuff done. I had half expected him to come back angry, having found out I’d found Killian and left his pack, but he came back totally normal, telling me about some pack member who was failing at their job. I haven’t seen Alice since I told her I heard Sebastain talking to another woman on the phone late at night, and that was okay, because she wasn’t my favorite person right now. I suspected she was very, very two faced, and wouldn't be surprised to hear she’s been playing me this entire time. I was feeling a little foolish for telling her so much and letting her get so close to my kids. Especia

    “So who’s in charge of all your guards?” I ask as Sebastain leads me down a trail through the woods. We had ended up leaving the twins with a couple guards and a maid, because he couldn’t get ahold of Alice. I had felt a little weird leaving my kids with strangers, but the maid at the very least seemed overjoyed to be around the charming twins. Me telling Alice that Sebastain was talking to another woman really seemed to get under her skin, because I hadn’t seen or heard from her since then. I had suspected her feelings for him already, but now I was picturing her stabbing a voodoo doll made of his hair in some candle-lit room while she casts curses. She seemed a little… possessive maybe? Definitely more than a little intense. “Well, my Beta Tanner oversees a lot of them, but he has a few trusted wolves under him he delegates some of his duties to as well, just like I do with him.” He shrugs a little as he answers my question. I think back. I had only met Tanner a couple of times

    I sat on my living room couch, the entire house quiet.I had come home with Sebastain, who had left quickly once he’d walked me inside to take care of whatever committee stuff he had. I had asked the two guards and the maid who had been watching the twins if they could take them outside for a little, maybe go on a walk. One of the guards was clearly flirting with the maid, so they all agreed to go, those two a bit more eagerly than the glum looking third wheel. I wanted a minute alone to try and talk to my wolf. I hadn’t talked to her in a few years now, and honestly it’s hard for me to pinpoint when she stopped talking and coming out. Although if I was really honest with myself, it was around the time I met Killian and turned away my destined mate for him. I had never asked how she felt about it, and I was starting to think that had been my first mistake. Wolves and their human counter parts are not the same soul. We’re two entirely different souls sharing one body, able to turn be

    I close the door to the twin’s room quietly behind me after putting them down for the night. I stretch my ears out to listen if I could hear Sebastian in the house. As if he knew I was looking for him, I heard a chair scrape in the kitchen and he came around the corner.“They asleep?” He asks. I nod, moving away from the door and coming towards him. “Tell me about your day.” He says, pulling a chair at the table out for me as he sits across from me. I feel my heart warm at the weirdly domestic moment we were sharing right now. “Uhm… well. I talked to my wolf, finally.” I smile a little and flick my eyes up to meet his. His expression changes into one of excitement and I feel my stupid heart skipping a beat. “Did you really? What did you guys talk about? Do you know why she left you in the first place?” I feel my face heating up in a blush at his last question and I awkwardly scratch the back of my neck. “Well… we mostly just talked about everything she had missed.” I say, trying

    The next couple of days I spent looking for a key to Killians prison. Despite the constant distractions Sebastian was throwing at me, I hadn’t forgotten why I had come back in the first place. Killian was my ex husband, my cheating one, but he had been manipulated and lied to just like I had, and I couldn’t just leave him locked up because he was an idiot who thought with the head in his pants instead of the one on his shoulders. For all I knew Sebastian was planning on keeping him locked up forever, just to spite him for stealing his mate. I searched his office as often as I could, but I was only able to glance around when he asked me to bring him something, or dig through a drawer when he asked me to grab him some document. My searches were fleeting and brief, but hadn’t found anything yet. Despite the fact that I was plotting against him, he seemed to be trusting more and more. He no longer had the two guards standing by the front door whenever he left, and I hadn’t seen Alice

    “What the hell are you doing here?” I scoff at May. I hadn’t seen her since I had gotten kicked out of Killians pack, and I knew one thing for sure had changed since then: I wasn’t near as broken. I felt no need to pretend to be nice to her like I’d once had to do. “I could ask you the same thing.” She says with a smirk, looking at the padlocked door. “ I guess you were the one who broke it in the first place, huh?” She asks with a raised brow. I feel myself panicking a little. How long had she been here? How much did she know? My first break in had been days ago, he hadn’t been here the entire time, had she? “I really don’t understand why you’re here.” I say, eyeing May as she walks closer to me. I narrow my eyes in on her, watching her every move. I don’t like this woman. I hear my wolf say in my head. I completely agree. While Alice was in the junior leagues of homewrecking, May seems to be a professional at it. I felt like she’d manipulated both me and Killian, and we had pla

    I watched as Everly snuck through the basement exit, our children strapped to her back. She had come here tonight to try and rescue me, but didn’t have a way to unlock my prison. I was left to simmer in my own worried thoughts for the rest of the night after she’d left. I hoped she had gotten to Lucas okay, and that he would keep her away from Sebastain and his pack. I didn’t want her coming back here for me, more than anything. I still cared about her, and especially about our kids. I just wanted her safe even if that meant I had to stay locked up.The next day Sebastian had walked down the basement stairs, a cocky look on his face. I eyed him suspiciously, wondering what he was up to. He stopped in front of my prison, his arms crossed as he stared at me. I raised an eyebrow as the silence stretched on. “You wanna tell me what happened to the door to the basement?” He asks finally. I didn’t know exactly what Everly had done to get down here, but I had heard a loud crash right bef

    I sigh heavily, letting another file I’d built for a new potential Alpha fall into the trash can. This one’s name had been Andrew Powell, a long residing pack member with good combat skills. When I'd asked around about him, all anyone had to say was good things, and everyone seemed to know him. With that in mind, I had eagerly pursued him, and of course, he was just as eager to accept the challenge.He’d started off great, doing his best to make a good impression. Then it was like something changed, and he let the mask drop. He started acting like he already had the Alpha title, parading around telling everyone what to do. So this morning, I’d brought him into what I was currently using as an office, and told him he was no longer being considered for the Alpha position. Of course he had gotten pissed, started telling me I wasn’t even qualified to make this kind of decision, and that maybe he would just take the title without my blessing. At least I knew now I was right in my choice.

    Was this how Everly felt when I had been unfaithful in our marriage? Did she too feel this sadness, this envy, this anger?All I could think about was hearing those words from her, “I’m pregnant. And it’s not yours.” Over and over again like a broken record.Pure, unfiltered rage courses through my veins as I stomped out of our house, swinging the door open so hard it cracked against the wall behind it. I ignored the stares from the pack members I’d had outside with Ella and Eli, and didn't stop to answer their questions of where I was going and if I was okay. The twins would be fine with them for a little, maybe better than if they were left in my care.Because I was anything but okay. My woman was pregnant with another man’s child, and I had a very good feeling on who’s it was. I could tell by her hesitation, the tone in her voice. It was that bastard’s, Sebastain’s. The image of them screwing pissed me off, and made bile rise in my throat. I didn’t even want to think about them

    “Hey, babe. How’d it go today?” Killian’s voice says in my ear through my phone. I swallowed thickly at his question, clenching the phone in my hand so tightly I was scared it was going to break. This was the part I was dreading. Killian and I were just reconnecting, and now I was about to tell him I was going to be gone for some undetermined amount of time. Not to mention… There was a baby growing in me right now. What if I was gone for months? I would show back up with a swollen belly. That would be nothing if not jarring. I mean, it’s not like I had cheated on him or anything. But I still felt guilty, horrible even, at the life growing inside of me. “It was okay.” I say, then fall silent. I know he’s waiting for me to tell him more, what I chose to do, because I hadn’t even told him my plan. It was kind of a last minute call. That, and I’m too weak. He had hugged me with such warmth before I left, kissing my cheek and telling me he couldn't wait for me to come home. “Uhm. I gues

    Three days later…For some reason, Sebastian’s pack land looked different to me this time around. It seemed less foreign, for sure. I had lived there for a while, and spent plenty of time wandering around. Less intimidating, maybe, now that I knew there was no scheming man waiting around the corner. I walked behind Adam and a couple other committee members who had tagged along, a woman named Marlin, a man named Thomas. This morning, Adam and them had shown up at my door, and told me we would be travelling here today, to announce my decision to the pack and appoint a new Alpha if my choice was to leave. He told me I could have them fight me or each other, do a poll, whatever I felt was the best call to pick the new leader. Sebastian didn’t have an official Beta, so while that would normally be the first logical choice, unfortunately it wasn’t an option this time around. Strangely enough, none of them had asked what I was going to do yet today. Adam kept eyeing me, like he was doubti

    Since returning to Kilian’s pack things had been… different. I was happy to be back with Killian and our kids. We were finally together, able to raise them side by side. I wasn’t having to look over my shoulder because I had to be on guard all the time, and Killian was paying me more attention than ever before. Apart from that, there were a few more serious things going on. For example, Sebastian’s pack was left without an Alpha. The committee members were breathing down my neck, telling me I either needed to relinquish my position over to someone else, or step up and take charge of the dozens of wolves looking for a leader. And don’t even get me started on Felix’s pack. They weren’t in my top list of priorities, I can't lie. Most of them had run off, only a few of the new members who had been forced into Felix’s pack had stuck around. Honestly, I had kind of been hoping Sebastain would show back up. I would be more than happy to hand his pack back over. I didn’t want it. I hadn’t

    The ride back to Killian’s pack was mostly quiet; he’d ask me something every once in a while, about the twins or his pack. But I think we both had a lot on our minds. I know I did. The car had dropped us as close to the pack lands as it could, and we walked the rest of the way. “God, I’m glad to be back in these woods.” Killian said as we walked along. He had his face tilted to look at the tops of the trees, and was smiling a little for the first time in what felt like forever. It was kind of cute, the way he was acting like he was literally being recharged just by being in his woods again. “What are you smiling at?” He asks me, bumping his shoulder against mine a little. I shake my head, and look up at him. “Just… happy we both got to come back here together.” I say. “Did you miss this place at all?” He asks, looking down at me. I nod a little. “Yeah, I guess I did. Or really I missed the good memories I had attached to it.” He nods along. “Like… Do you remember that one nigh

    A lot had happened since I had beaten both Sebastain and Felix. Most of which I wasn’t currently letting Killian in on. It’s not that I didn’t trust him or think he wasn’t capable anymore, but I knew he was hurt. And I knew only half of the pain he was feeling right now was physical. First of all, May reared her annoying ass in again. It makes sense, as she had been spotted previously hanging out with Felix, and had been acting suspiciously close with him before. But I was a bit surprised when his body was taken away by his pack members, and she surfaced through the crowd, like she’d been there the entire time. “Look who’s leveled up in the world.” she had sneered at me as she glared down at the unconscious Felix. She looked at me bitterly, like I had taken something from her. She had gone on about how this and this were supposed to happen, but now everything was ruined since I’d stuck my nose into everything. She said I was in the way, like always, and should’ve just learned my

    I always thought Everly had such a pretty side profile. I remember when I first started getting to know her, I would stare at her across the courtyard at our college, just watching her read or talk to someone. I liked the curve of her lips, the way her lashes brush the tops of her cheeks when she blinked.That’s what I was thinking about as I watched her talk to the doctor who had been taking care of me for the past couple of days. I was being released. My injuries weren’t all the way healed, but I was good enough. The doctor had actually said that. I wasn’t upset about it or anything, I was ready to get out of here as it was. I was still in Sebastain’s pack. Or I guess, Everly’s pack. We hadn’t actually talked too much about that little fact yet. I’d tried to bring it up a couple times, to find out what exactly happened. I knew the outcome of everything, but I still felt like I was missing a lot of important details. But whenever I did bring it up, suddenly Everly had to pee so

  • The Chosen Luna's True Mate   Chapter Ninety-Killian's POV

    Failure. You lost. Pathetic. You don’t deserve to be Alpha. These words are the only ones that fill my head as someone carried my unconscious body like a sack of potatoes. I didn’t know who it was, if they were taking me to finish me off or help me, but I didn’t care. I can’t believe I lost. My mind can’t quite put everything that happened in order, not yet at least. I remember the beginning of the fight, flashes of Everly’s anxious face watching me get my ass kicked. I remember… getting knocked down. Lots of yelling. But I’m not sure why… I couldn’t pick out what they had been saying. Sounded like a woman, calling someone a monster. But who would be yelling that, and why? And I remember opening my eyes for a moment, and seeing Everly kneeling above me, blood on her chin, and her eyes so, so worried for me. Why was there blood on her chin? “...you gotta open your eyes buddy.” Whoever that is sounds familiar. Lucas? He was the only one who would call me something like “buddy.”
