The Last Luna Chapter 119: Confessions
Ellie"Sylvia! Why are you crying?" Ellie asked as the other woman stood on the front porch with tears streaming down her face.Waving her hands in front of her face, with tears rolling down her cheeks, Sylvia said, "It's just… I can't... . Oh, Ellie!" She threw herself into Ellie's arms. The Luna was only able to get them open just in time to catch her.Sylvia buried her head in Ellie's shoulder and started sobbing. Behind her, Ellie could sense that River was enjoying this. Maybe even smirking. Possibly even chuckling a little.She wanted to turn around and glare at her husband, but she couldn't with Sylvia wrapped around her like a baby howler monkey. "Sylvia, whatever it is, I'm sure it's not as bad as you're making it out to be.""Perhaps your new friend is feeling guilty for being a big fat liar and tricking a nice man into thinking she's worthy of marrying him," River said in Ellie's head via the mind-link."Instead of making fun or playing a game of 'I told you so' why don't y

EllieIt was nice to be planning a wedding that wasn't for her....Granted, Shelby had been planning her wedding for so long now, Ellie would be shocked if she and Carl ever actually got married, but as soon as Ulysses and Sylvia got themselves on the same page, they were ready to get hitched. Sylvia had insisted on introducing Ulysses to her parents and taking him back to her pack so that he felt he could completely trust her before they got married, but that hadn't taken long. Even if Sylvia hadn't proven herself to be the most trustworthy person in the world, he trusted the Moon Goddess, and he had no doubt the goddess wanted them to be together.Of course, Sylvia wouldn't get married in a traditional gown or in a traditional service. She'd decided they needed to get married in the middle of the woods, even though there was a foot of snow on the ground and it was still falling on the morning of the wedding. She would be wearing a long shimmery silver gown and a light blue cloak. At

RiverWaiting with Ulysses for Sylvia to arrive at the wedding site was more stressful than River expected it to be. He'd known Ulysses for a long time, but he'd never really thought of him as a friend until recently. Now, watching the groom pace back and forth near the altar where his bride would be arriving eventually was making River nervous for him."She's late," Ulysses was muttering. The priestess was standing nearby, but she wasn't paying any attention, and the guests who were waiting patiently on log benches were mostly chatting amongst themselves, not listening to the groom or his best man."The bride is always late," River reminded him, patting him reassuringly on the shoulder."That's true," Ulysses said, sucking in a deep breath and blowing it out. "But… it's still nerve-wracking.""Isn't Sylvia always late, too?" River asked. Ulysses nodded. "So… put those two things together and she's bound to be extra late. She'll be here.""Yeah. I know," Ulysses said, still breathing

EllieThe girls in Ellie's leadership group were amazing. Even after Sylvia left and went to live with Ulysses in his territory, Ellie continued their training. It was her goal to teach as many women as possible how to take care of their packs and provide everything they could possibly need, whether it was from the nurturing side that was usually left to the Luna or the protective side that came from the Alpha. As much fun as it always was meeting with her group of twenty-three women ranging from age sixteen to twenty-five, one morning a few weeks after Sylvia and Ulysses tied the knot, Ellie woke up not feeling it. Her stomach felt twisted, she had no energy, and she swore her body was bloated in ways it never had been before.The clock read 7:30, so she knew she needed to get up so that she'd be ready to meet her girls at the gym. They started their day there with training before they moved around the village helping Ellie with whatever might arise that day. Ellie talked to them th

EllieStanding outside in the sun was not doing anything for Ellie's upset stomach. Even though it was still wintertime and hadn't gotten particularly hot yet, she still felt like the sun was directing all of its rays at her. She was doing her best to go through the day's lesson with the girls who'd come to train with her to be Lunas, but at the moment, she wanted to go back inside and teach them how to take a nap."Are you all right, Luna Ellie?" a sweet girl named Kara from River's pack asked her. "You're looking a little pale.""Oh, I'm fine," Ellie said, waving her hand at the girl dismissively. "I'm just fine. I think I just might've eaten something disagreeable this morning." She forced a laugh from between her lips but then grimaced again to keep anything else from coming out. Her experience earlier that morning, when she'd thrown up in the bathroom, was not as pleasant as sitting in a flower garden on a spring day admiring the roses, and she really didn't want to do it again.

RiverLeaving Ellie that morning had been uncomfortable, to say the least. It seemed like she wasn't feeling well at all, and even though she refused to acknowledge that fact, he was worried. She didn't get sick very often–for that matter, most shifters didn't get sick very often, but she got sick even less often than most from what he'd heard–and he was worried that something was wrong.He sat behind his desk in the office looking over some paperwork that had been filed while he was away in his own pack tending to business there. His mind wouldn't stay focused on the documents in front of him, though. Every time he picked up a piece of paper, his mind wandered back to Ellie. Was she really okay? What if she wasn't? What if there was something seriously wrong with her? He couldn't bear to think about what might happen if something was wrong with Ellie. A knock on the office door had him straying away from his thoughts. "Yeah?" he called. He wished it was Ellie there to tell him she w

EllieStanding in the bathroom staring at the toilet and the empty cup she'd been given like they were both her enemies, Ellie couldn't stop from crying. It wasn't like her to be so teary-eyed over anything, but for some reason, the reality that she had to be pregnant, that that was the only solution to what was wrong with her that made any sense, had her crying almost as much as she had when River had abandoned her at the aisle.Now, with her husband staring at her from the doorway, she had no answers for him. Was it a good thing that she was pregnant? She would like to think so. Ellie always thought she wanted to be a mother. She just wasn't sure she knew how.River came over to her and wrapped his arms around her, the bathroom door shutting behind him. "Ellie, honey, it's okay. Whatever it is that has you worried, we'll figure it out. It'll be fine, I promise you.""That's easy for you to say," Ellie said, trying to get her sniffles under control. "You have a mom, a great one. I ha
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 126: Announcement
EllieThe best way to tell their families was to invite everyone over for dinner. Since Shelby knew the truth about the pregnancy, Ellie and River had to act fast. Shelby had promised not to tell anyone, but Ellie knew her best friend well. The girl couldn't keep a secret to save her life.River had called Patricia and asked her if she would mind coming over to their house in Ellie's pack lands for dinner that night, trying to sound nonchalant. She was back in River's village overseeing things while they were away, as she always did. While she was reluctant at first, she finally agreed. Patricia wasn't fond of driving at night, so in order to get her to come, River had invited her to stay the night at their house.It was much easier to get Ellie's family to the house. Michael was up for dinner anytime, especially if he got to cook, and Ellie had no problem telling him to make whatever he'd like. The boys–Seth, Hans, and Kane–were there at the mere mention of food. Shelby would be ther

The Last Luna Chapter 150: The Moon Goddess Ball
EllieThe string quartet was playing a soft, slow song that seemed to make the silver stars above them twinkle even more somehow as Ellie stood admiring the scene. She'd been right. Everything had come together perfectly, and all across the dance floor, couple after couple had paired off. Her students were finding their fated mates. Alphas and Betas from packs far and wide were coming together with women that had trained in her school."Well, what do you think, beautiful?" River asked, stepping over from where he'd been speaking to another Alpha who'd come with his wife and son, who was their age and looking for a wife so he could take over the pack. "I would say this is a huge success.""Definitely," Ellie agreed. "I see so many people dancing together and falling in love.""I know," River said. "Look at Sarah and Alpha Rob over there. And Nelly and Alpha Lance."Ellie had noticed both of those couples. Sarah looked so lovely in her red dress, and Nelly in her blue one, gazing into L
The Last Luna Chapter 149: Finishing Touches
EllieThe final touches for the Moon Goddess Ball were falling into place, and Ellie couldn't believe how beautiful the event center looked. As she looked around at all of the decorations, her heart fluttered in her chest. She could only imagine how many couples might fall in love in there tonight.It hadn't been easy, getting everything ready for the event, but along with Michael, River, Shelby, and several other volunteers, Ellie had gotten it done. Not only had they put together a beautiful event center, but they'd also managed to get several Alphas and Betas from packs far and wide to commit to attending, and for the past several days, they'd been arriving. Many of them were staying in the cabins in the pack village, the same ones that the Alphas who had competed in her contest had stayed in.Ellie pushed those thoughts out of her mind. It all seemed like ancient history now. The bachelors remaining from that contest would be back that night, still looking for love, though there w
The Last Luna Chapter 148: Plans
EllieThe idea of having a Moon Goddess Ball with the women she'd been training to become Lunas was ultimately the idea behind the training to begin with, so when River came in and suggested that they have the grand opening of the new event center be just that, a Moon Goddess Ball for the women in her class, Ellie couldn't believe her ears."Do you think that's a good idea?" River asked her."No, I don't think that's a good idea," Ellie told him, watching his face fall."You don't?" River blinked a few times. It was clear he was searching for something to say that wouldn't offend her."No. I think… it's a great idea," she said, winking at him.A smile broke across his face, wide enough to match her own. "Oh, he said. Good. I was afraid you were going to tell me that it was a bad idea.""No, I definitely think we should do that," she said. "In fact, I think we should start planning it right now. When is the full moon?"River pulled his phone out of his pocket and checked the calendar.
The Last Luna Chapter 147: The Event Center
River Rebuilding after the fire wasn't easy, but it was something that brought the entire pack together. In a way, River was slightly glad, though he'd never say it out loud. Supervising the project while Michael recovered from his injuries was interesting. River invited some of the members of his own pack to come over and help. At first, it seemed like there was a bit of a divide between the two groups, but once the "outsiders" proved their value, everyone began to work smoothly together.It took quite a while to clear away the debris from the old event center. After that, they planned a new one. This one was better. It was bigger with more rooms for different events. River had the pack architect draw it out with input from several of the pack elders and other important members of the pack, including Michael, who was out of the hospital by then and staying with Ellie and River so that the pack Luna could spend as much time as possible with her dad. River knew it had really shaken El
The Last Luna Chapter 146: Michael's Love
EllieIt took a few days before Michael was able to come out of the coma, but part of that was because the healers thought it would help him heal if they kept him in a medically induced coma, so by the time he finally opened his eyes three days after the attack, Ellie was thrilled.She was also exhausted, but seeing her father's eyes register on her own made all of that fade away momentarily. "Dad?" she said, looking at his familiar face. "How are you feeling?""Ellie?" he said, his voice weak. He still had an oxygen mask over his face, but all of the tubes and other wires had been removed, other than the monitor hooked up to his finger and the IV he had in his arm in case he needed more medicine. "Where's Michaela?""She's at home with River," Ellie said, giving him a reassuring smile. She wasn't sure how much of the battle he would remember. "She's perfectly fine."Her father's head rolled to the side a bit as he released a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank the Moon Goddess," he said. "I w
The Last Luna Chapter 145: A Night in the Healing Center
Ellie Watching the healers work to bring her father back from the dead was like watching a dream for Ellie. She stood there with Michaela in her arms, River's hand on her shoulder, thinking none of this could be happening, that it had to be a dream.But it wasn't. It was real. Her daughter had really been ripped from her bed, and now, the same people who were responsible for taking her child from her may have succeeded in taking her dad.Ellie couldn't imagine what her life would be like without her father in it. For as long as she could remember, he'd been there for her. Like a rock, like the brick wall she needed to hold her up anytime she felt like she couldn't stand on her own, he was always there. Even though she had River now, it wasn't the same. No matter how old a person got, they always needed a parent.But if Michael died, she wouldn't have any parents at all. She'd be an orphan.While she could imagine that her father would be happy to finally be reunited with her mother,
The Last Luna Chapter 144: Alpha Emergency
RiverSeeing Ellie fighting all of those rogues by herself was enough to make River kick himself into a gear he didn't even know that he had. But when he saw his wife carrying his daughter away to safety, he knew that everything was going to be all right, especially since the rogues were grossly outnumbered.There was just the matter of making them pay for the horrendous atrocities they had committed. Not only had they set the village event center on fire, which may have already spread to other buildings, but they'd also violated his home, stolen his daughter, and taken her off in the middle of the night.None of these wolves were walking away from this fight.Not even the huge male that was bearing down on him now.River didn't care that the male seemed to be twice his size. With the anger boiling inside of him from everything he'd seen, River lowered himself to the ground and waited for the wolf to come at him. When the large wolf's teeth snapped at him, River dodged to the side and
The Last Luna Chapter 143: Saving Michaela
EllieThe fact that she'd jumped right over the Omega's head would buy her some time, but only a matter of seconds. He would turn around and be right after her. So… Ellie had to make those moments count. She needed to head right for the female holding her baby and attack before she had the chance to register what was happening.Ellie landed hard on the ground from her leap and ignored the searing pain that shot up her right front paw. She continued to run, registering the look of fear in the female's eyes. It was only there for a split second, but it was there long enough for Ellie to know that she had the upper hand.She aimed low, darting around for the back of the female, away from her baby. She managed to sink her teeth into the female's leg, causing her to yelp. When she did so, she had to let go of the baby blanket. Michaela tumbled to the ground, but it wasn't much of a drop. Still, the baby screamed in fear and possibly a bit of pain. Ellie considered her chances of grabbing h
The Last Luna Chapter 142: Closing In
RiverLeaving the fire to run out into the night, searching for his daughter was enough to make River's heart catch in his throat. How was it possible that someone had taken his baby from her warm bed in the middle of the night?As he tore through the forest, running in the direction his wife told him she was tracking the culprits in, he tried not to think about the fact that he'd been suspecting something like this in the back of his mind for some time. Ever since the rogues started getting close to the village, he'd been wondering if they'd try a stunt like this. If he'd been able to put the pieces of the puzzle together, if he'd thought it was truly possible that they'd try to take his daughter, he would've been more vigilant. Now, he was running as fast as he could, praying that Ellie or someone else saw them soon.If they found them, they would stop them. They just had to find them."River! I see them!"Ellie's voice in his head gave him hope. River's breath stuttered. "Where?" h
