The Last Luna Chapter 128: A Strange Sensation
EllieOver the next several months, Ellie began to grow accustomed to the fact that her body wasn't solely her own anymore. The nausea faded as she began to enter her second trimester, and as spring was in full bloom, she was starting to feel a bit more like herself. But then… she knew it would be short-lived. Everyone that she spoke to who had been pregnant before was quick to tell her exactly what she could expect. Besides being exhausted all the time, apparently, she was about to feel all of her ligaments being stretched and torn, her muscles giving way, and the urge to eat every crazy combination of food she could possibly think of.Ellie wasn't sure whether she should be looking forward to finally having the baby out or terrified of meeting a person who could cause so much damage.At least the girls who were training to be Lunas were doing well. Patricia had been helping a lot with Luna duties in both packs, including the training, and Shelby had stepped in as well. With her wedd

RiverPatrolling such a large territory was harder than River would've thought before he became Alpha of two packs. Granted, he had a lot more Omega warriors to rely upon to help him out, but ultimately, he felt that he was responsible for ensuring every square inch of the borders were his responsibility for both territories, and that meant that he had to do a lot of running around himself.Ellie had told him about the uncomfortable feeling she'd had while she was out with her Luna's in training in the pack lands near the southwestern border of her original territory. Ever since that day about a month earlier, River was sure to keep a careful eye on that area of the land, but so far, in all of the patrols he'd done there, he'd seen nothing. Neither had anyone else. Likewise, they hadn't sensed anyone watching them the way that Ellie had. He didn't doubt his wife one bit, but he did wonder if maybe whoever she'd thought was out there in the woods had moved along.But then one day towar
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 130: Little Kicks
EllieThe baby was kicking. Ellie stopped the work she was doing at her desk in her office to rest her hand against her abdomen and feel the thumps against her palm. While she could certainly feel the little heels against the inside of her, as the baby seemed to be playing some sort of drum solo on her internal organs, she liked to feel the reverberations against her hand as well. It was remarkable to her that such a small person buried inside of her beneath so many layers could make him or herself known so forcefully.They had decided not to find out whether or not they were having a boy or a girl. Now that she was almost twenty weeks along, Ellie could've found out whether she was going to have a son or a daughter. She and River had given it a lot of thought and discussed it to great length but finally decided to wait. While they both were anxious to know whether or not the curse would be broken, they didn't want to put any unnecessary stress on the situation. Whether or not it was

RiverWatching his wife's abdomen continue to grow as she carried his child was an amazing feeling, something River never realized could be so enthralling. He had always wanted children, but he had never known how rewarding it would feel to see his baby growing every day and know that his wife was building that baby all by herself. It truly was a miracle, and he couldn't be prouder of Ellie than he was as he gazed at her on a daily basis as she progressed through the pregnancy.But he was also worried. Everything seemed like a threat now. Not only was he worried about the fact that he couldn't figure out how those rogues were getting over the chasm without leaving tracks that led right up to the ravine, but he hated that he couldn't track them. When he went all the way around to try to figure out where they had crossed the ravine and where they had disappeared to, he had had no luck, and River was starting to get frustrated."It's been two months, sir," Beta Andrew reminded him as the
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 132: Shelby's Big Day
EllieThe day was finally here. Ellie had been looking forward to this day almost as long as she'd been looking forward to her own wedding before it had taken place. Now, after what seemed like decades of planning–though it had really only been a few months over a year–it was finally time for Shelby and Carl to get married.Shelby looked radiant. Ellie couldn't help but smile at her best friend as the two of them got ready in the small room in the chapel. Shelby had asked several other girls from high school to be her bridesmaids, but the room was so small, they'd had to get ready elsewhere. It was only Ellie, Shelby's mom, Unice, and the flower girl, Shelby's cousin's daughter, Gracie, who was four. While Shelby's mother was wiping away her tears, Shelby didn't look sad at all. No, if Ellie had to choose one word to describe her best friend, it would have to be triumphant. She looked like she had finally conquered the world.A knock at the door drew her attention away from the mirro

EllieWhile she had to admit, she'd never tried carrying a bowling ball around in her shirt before, by the time she was seven months pregnant, Ellie had to imagine that that's what it felt like lugging the baby around wherever she went. It seemed like she must not have gained as much weight as many of the women in the pack expected her to as many of them made comments about how she still looked lovely and had, "kept her figure," but Ellie didn't feel that way. In fact, with every passing day, she felt more like a poofy marshmallow woman than a beautiful Luna who could easily wear high heels and fit into a little black dress. Not that she had even seen her feet recently to tell what she was wearing on them.Gone were her days of taking the other women out on patrol and practicing anything that meant shifting. Likewise, she wouldn't go outside in the late summer heat if it meant she would be first in line at an all-you-can-eat rocky road ice cream and sour dill pickle stand. No, she wa
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 134: Not in Labor
EllieContractions were capable of being ignored if one concentrated enough. At least, that's what Ellie told herself early one fall morning when she woke up with the realization that the painful cramping she was feeling from time to time in her stomach were getting more regular and stronger. They were working in the office in River's village, and the midwife, Nancy, had been alerted that she should be at the ready, so there was no reason for Ellie to panic. Her water hadn't broken yet, after all. So if she sat in her chair behind her desk and continued working, she wouldn't have to tell anyone that she was in labor. The longer she could ignore it, the longer she could go without having to push this kid out.It wasn't that she didn't want to have the baby. She absolutely couldn't wait to see her child, to hold the baby in her arms, to cuddle and do all of the things she'd been dreaming of with her child and her husband since she'd found out she was pregnant.But actually having the ba
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 135: Count Faster
EllieThe warm water of the birthing pool helped.It helped the same way that an aspirin helped when a person had their arm chopped off.Not that Ellie had ever had her arm chopped off, but she could imagine it was similar. Still, she was committed now, and she was going through with this despite the fact that she was seriously regretting her decision to have this baby this way. When the midwife had offered her drugs early on in the process, when they'd originally discussed the options and then again this afternoon when the question of "are you sure" had been posed to her, she should've been allowed a few moments to confer with a jury of her peers–other mothers who had gone through this before and knew better than she did. Practical women. Women with good memories. Women with low pain tolerances. Ellie had never thought of herself as having a low tolerance for pain, but then, she'd also never tried to drag a watermelon through her nostril.And if River told her she was doing great one

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
