Luna's POV:
"You gonna be ok?" I ask teasingly.
"Yeah mom knows I hate desk work. She did that on purpose." Kali says as she drags a chair around the desk.
"I'll have most of it done by one Kali. I promise you won't have much to do if anything." I reply as I look at the clock and get back to work as Kali sits quietly next to me.
It's almost 12 and I've sent multiple emails to Tatum with reports and approvals but I've still not heard back about anything so I print off the necessary papers and head towards Malcolm's office. I knock briskly on the door and wait
"Come in." I hear Malcolm call out.
I gently open the door to see there are various clan members in the chairs around the la
Luna's POV:It's Friday morning and I'm fixing to head to the conference room for the meeting about the expansion but I am struggling with some of the budgets I was given. I've been over the paperwork hundreds of times but the numbers aren't adding up for some reason and I can tell that Malcolm is getting more stressed. I am just outside the office door when I hear a familiar voice that causes my heart to jump."Well everyone's here can we get started? I have another plane to catch before one this afternoon." I hear Tatum's voice.I haven't spoken to Tatum since his last message. I know he's been busy but it irritates me slightly that he didn't tell me he would be back today even if it was just for a short time."It's still early and our newest board member is on t
Luna's POV:"Yes Titan?" Malcolm says with a kind expression."When were you going to tell me about our newest addition to the board?" Tatum says dryly."Ah well it's only been a week and I didn't think it would be a problem." Malcolm replies."Then why waste my time by having me attend this meeting as well?" Tatum growls as Malcolm begins to walk around the table towards him.Tatum's phone suddenly begins to ring and he quickly answers. I catch the faint voice of a woman on the other end and I begin typing slower as I focus on the conversation."You are flying back today right? You left so quickly last night I didn't get to say goodbye." The voice says softly.
Luna's POV:The next week seemed to fly by as plans for the new firm began to take shape and finalize. My magic was improving significantly and Angel had taught me many new things I didn't know I was even capable of doing. The power I was tapping into was invigorating and I had never felt more energized but despite every good feeling I was having I missed Tatum. We hadn't spoken since that day he left the office and no matter how badly I've wanted to message or call him I've resisted. I had asked Malcolm to approve a few documents after Tatum left again but after a few days of doing that Malcolm assured me that anything I passed in front of him was good and told me I no longer needed a prior approval for things. This made things easier but now I also didn't have an excuse to send Tatum emails either. I felt like I was losing him in some way and that our connec
Luna's POV:I am almost back to the familiar clearing when I hear Malcolm howling in the distance signaling the end of their run. All the others howl in unison to confirm they are done and on the way back to the house as well. I waited a few moments then let out a low howl to let the others know I was close by but not quite done. A confirmation howl echoed back and I sat down in the middle of the forest looking through the tree line at the clearing ahead. Tatum's familiar scent drifts through the air and I'm suddenly brought to my feet. I look around in every direction wildly as my ears flick back and forth trying to detect the faintest sound. I wait for what seems like forever but there's no sign of him anywhere. I huff loudly and begin heading towards the house with confusion in my heart. Once I'm back and redressed everyone but Angel and Malcolm are in the pool. I quickly run in and change into
Luna's POV:I silently hold out my hand waiting for him to take it. As soon as our fingers are intertwined I summon my powers and blink and in an instant we are standing in the familiar living room. I step away from Tatum and begin removing my heels as he walks past me and into our room. I follow after him and stand in the doorway watching as Tatum begins to remove his suit jacket and tie."If you need me to take you to the airport or the office I can take you there or you can take my car." I say quietly."I came back early." Tatum says as he shakes his head."The client I was trying to establish connections with was only interested in having me do his bidding so I secured connections elsewhere and got back on the first flight I could." Tatum responds as he starts to unb
Tatum's POV:I've been gone for several weeks at a time only getting to come home for a few days here and there. Once I had landed back in the states I remembered what this weekend was and I kicked myself for forgetting. Luna had helped me schedule the business trip so I had constantly asked myself if she wanted me around for her birthday. Kali had sent me multiple messages throughout the week taunting me and updating me on Luna and work but it was my mother who had dealt the final blow. Though I was raised in clan life there were still things I was learning about the union and having a mate with powers such as Luna's. Though no one else had noticed Luna's distraught state due to my continued absence my mother had noticed and gave me a warning. Though I had assured her I would be home within a week I had this dark feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Tatum's POV:"Well I guess we should get some rest huh?" Luna says as she reaches for my hand.I grab her hand and lead her into our bedroom and I try to calm my mind. We both get into bed as I turn off the bedside light. Luna and I lay there in silence with her as close as she can get to me. Our legs are entangled and she has her head rested on my arm as I stroke her long beautiful hair. One of her arms is wrapped tightly around me as if she's afraid I'm going to disappear. Her other hand rests gently under my head and I can feel her thumb rubbing my temple lightly. At that moment I realized what she was doing. It was the same thing I had done many times at the office, at home or anywhere we were. She was recharging or reconnecting so to speak. Allowing our energies to connect and dispel all the negative chaos that had been growing within us over the p
Tatum's POV:The next Monday Luna and I head straight for the office where my father gives her the materials and budgets she needs while she is overseas. Once Luna and I have been briefed about our upcoming schedules we head back home and pack. On the flight over we go over the agenda and discuss our course of action as well as a few ideas for our wedding. Once we land we head straight for the hotel and when we've settled in we head out into Manhattan to find something to eat. On our way down the street we pass by a nightclub called The Bomb. Loud techno music blasts from the building and Luna looks at the doors curiously."You wanna go in?" I ask leaning down to whisper in Luna's ear."But you don't really like clubs." Luna replies."Correction. I don't like going
Luna's POV: It feels like it's been months since I’ve had a normal life with my friends and future family and now I am eagerly awaiting the moment they decide if my training will continue here in Purgatory or if Angel can continue my training back home. Angel suddenly appears in the small room with a happy smile. “Good news!” She says happily as I stand from my chair. “The council has agreed that you have gone above and beyond what they expected you to do in your time here and they are going to allow me to train you at home from now on. They are also thinking of extending an offer to take a seat among them here in the future.” She replies and I am stunned into silence. “Why?” I finally manage to ask. “You are a remarkabl
Tatum's POV:"Come in." I say flatly."Hey, I came to check on you." Kali says quietly."I'm fine Kali." I replied.I could feel Kali staring at my back as I finished gathering my things."If there's something you want to say, say it." I reply."Can I catch a ride with you?" Kali says in a hushed voice that catches my attention.I turn to look at her and I can see from the way she's looking at me that there's something she needs to tell me away from others."Let's go." I say as I head out the door and down to the parking garage.Once in the car
Luna's POV:“Tatum we can’t.” I say between heavy breaths as I feel his hot tongue playfully flipping one of my nipples.I feel Tatum slide his hand inside my pants and begin to caress my most sensitive spot sending a shockwave of pleasure through me.“Are you telling me you want me to stop.” He says in a seductive voice as he slides his fingers inside of me.I gasp in pleasure and I am unable to resist or deny him. Tatum uses his free hand to unbutton his pants sliding them off to reveal he was as excited as I was. Tatum pushes me back on the desk and removes my pants then allows his mouth to travel up my thighs to my core before making his way to my breasts. In one swift movement Tatum pushes himself inside of me and I cry out with pleasur
Luna's POV:“What are you suggesting?” I ask as I cross my legs and look at Robert with a serious expression.“You come with me back to purgatory. We do a mind sweep, start Samael and Russels trial and teach you how to use and control your powers.” He replies.“Out of the question.” Drew replies.“Our wedding is in a week. You are not taking my mate.” Tatum replies.“It seems we are at an impasse, what do you suggest we do?” Robert asks everyone in the room.“What if we allowed her to remain in this realm but I bring her to purgatory for a portion of the day for training and trial.” Angel suggests.
Tatum's POV:I hear Drew and Amelia sigh just before nodding their heads in agreement.“Fine. We will meet with the council but Amelia and myself will be in attendance. I will make no exceptions on this.” Drew says sternly.I nod my head at him in agreement and then he vanished just as he had appeared.“You two should get some rest. Tomorrow will be a busy day.” Amelia says just before turning to leave the room closing the door behind her.“Tatum, I’m sorry.” Luna says in almost a whisper.“Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything wrong and we will make the council see that tomorrow.” I reply.
Tatum’s POV:I was sitting on the sofa a full arms length from Luna. She had allowed me to sit first and had I known she was going to sit so far away I would have insisted she sit first. I didn’t like feeling like there was a wedge or gap between us and my wolf growled in agreement.“Well let's start from the beginning shall we?” Amelia says with a smile shaking me from my thoughts.“When you and your sister were threatened something awakened in Luna. She is capable of many things and has many abilities and what you witnessed are just a few of them. First well start with the fire ability.” She begins.“I’ve already seen the fire she possesses multiple times. It’s fueled by anger and rage.” I respond.
Luna's POV:“You’ve heard your queen. Release him.” Drew says with a nod.“If any of you ever hurt my mate or our families I will hunt you down and kill you myself.” I say with a snarl as my eyes begin to return to normal.The demons immediately release Tatum and I run up to him and embrace him as his strength begins to return.“You shouldn’t be here.” Drew says from behind me.“I wouldn’t be if you hadn't taken my mate.” Tatum snarls at Drew from over my shoulder.“Your kind does not belong here.” He replies.“His kind? You mean my kind?” I say a
Luna's POV:A bright light shines in my face and I slowly open my eyes. I see nothing but white around me and I slowly begin to sit up. My head is pounding and my body aches as I begin to try and recall what happened."It's good to see that you're finally awake my queen." I hear a man's voice say to me.I look up to see a strange man standing in front of me."Where am I?" I ask in confusion as I place my hand to my head."You're in the underworld my queen." The man replies."What?" I say shocked as my head pounds harder."Take it easy your majesty." He says as she comes to sit beside me."T
Tatum’s POV:"We must take the girl." I heard one of the men say."What, take her, why?" I ask as I pull Luna's body closer into me."Son we have to take her. You of all people know the code." My mother says gently."But she was protecting us!" I shout."Mother, they were going to kill us! She risked her life!" Kali said as she came out from behind me."Even if she did you know there are procedures we have to follow before we can allow her to return." My mother replies."Screw your damn procedures! You could have lost both your children tonight if it wasn't for her!" Kali shouts as tears stream down her face.
