The Last Luna Chapter 95: Leap of Faith
EllieBlade was running as fast as he possibly could. Ellie was keeping up, but as Blade exited the woods and was running through the meadow that Ellie knew bordered on a gorge so deep, if he fell in, they'd never hear from him again. It was coming up so quickly that Ellie was hesitant to keep running at full speed for fear she might fall in herself.River came between the trees to her right, and now all three of them were out in the open land. From here, it looked like the next set of woods was just ahead a hundred yards or so, but those trees were not an accessible place to hide, unless Blade was a really, really good jumper.Ahead of her, Ellie watched as Blade realized there was a hole in the ground ahead of him. He slid, turning sideways, his back feet swinging around and dust and rocks flying into the air. He tipped to his right, his eyes bulging, but then, before he teetered in, he was able to fall back the other direction. The gorge hadn't been his demise, but he was trapped

RiverIt was difficult to process what he'd just seen. If River had heard about it from someone else, he probably wouldn't have ever believed it. What in the world had Blade been thinking trying to make that jump across the gorge when his neck was ripped open? Was he trying to die?Maybe he was. Maybe he just couldn't stand the thought of a woman killing him. But Ellie had gotten the better of him for sure, and if River hadn't reminded her that she didn't have to end him, she probably would have.He couldn't blame her. After what Blade had done to her, she had every right to rip his throat out and call it a day.He was just afraid she'd feel guilty about it later.Now that Blade was dead anyway, looking at Ellie, River saw the same shock he felt and had to wonder if maybe she wouldn't blame herself and feel guilty about his death despite the fact that he'd essentially killed himself. Making that jump even when one was at a hundred percent wouldn't be easy.He should've never tried it.

EllieThe daze she'd been in since she'd seen Blade fall to his death was beginning to fade away as Ellie took River's hand and went to her office to meet with the other Alphas. It had all happened so quickly, she still needed time to process it.In her mind, she kept going over what she could have done differently. Maybe if she hadn't bitten him so hard, he wouldn't have acted so callously and tried to clear that gorge. Maybe she should've stayed on top of him until they could take him into custody. Maybe she should've tried to stop him when he went running toward the gorge.She could come up with a million things she could've done differently, but it had played out the way that it did. And there was nothing she could do about it now. So… she may as well get her head back in the game and pay attention because they had an entire pack to deal with now, one without an Alpha, one that would be needing direction, and possibly discipline.The other Alphas were already sitting around a tabl
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 98: Addressing the Pack
RiverThe sun was bright overhead as River, Ellie, and the other Alphas went to Crying Wolf to address the pack and let them know what the plan would be. The night before, Omega warriors from every pack had gone to make sure that order was maintained in Blade's previous pack, but now it was time for the shifters to get some answers. They needed to hear from the Alphas themselves.River could tell that Ellie was nervous. She'd held his hand in the car as they'd driven over together. The other Alphas would meet them there. When River pulled into a parking spot near what he believed to be Blade's office, he saw Ulysses' getting out of his car a few spots over. He didn't see any of the other Alphas just yet.Taking a deep breath, he turned to Ellie. "Are you all right, sweetheart?""Yeah, I'm fine," Ellie said, managing a smile. "I'm just feeling a little sorry for some of these people. They can't help that they were born into this pack, and I'm guessing that they can't all be evil. I'm s
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 99: Dissatisfied
EllieAs soon as she was done talking to the former members of Crying Wolf, Ellie took River's hand and did her best to look calm. On the inside, her emotions were churning like the ocean during a storm. She didn't want anyone else to see that, though. She had to give them the impression that she was cool, calm, and collected.The two of them stayed with the other Alphas, waiting to see what questions the pack members might have or what they needed to do to put people at ease. As far as Ellie could tell, the dividing of the pack mates into the new packs was going well. She didn't hear anyone shouting or complaining. As the families approached the Gammas who were overseeing the new assignments, most of them seemed calm. Fathers and mothers had their arms around their children. Elderly couples held hands. Some of the younger people were in groups that appeared to be more like friends than families, but that was okay. She was willing to allow them to go together to a new pack so long as
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 100: Fears and Regrets
RiverGetting the former pack members of Crying Wolf organized and moved to their new packs took a lot of time. Over the next few days after the Alphas met with the full group in the meeting center, most of their attention was focused on making sure that every threat was taken care of and that everyone was moved comfortably.It didn't leave much time for anything else for any of the Alphas or their leadership team, but River wasn't sure how upset about that he should be. The next thing that had to happen was the marriage ceremony, and as much as he wanted to marry Ellie, he was nervous.He knew he wanted to marry Ellie; there was no question in his mind now that he wanted to be with her. It seemed clear that they were meant to be together, too. He'd tried to leave her and quickly found out it was not only an awful idea but nearly impossible. So the nerves he felt had nothing to do with the commitment he was about to make.He was nervous that she might decide he needed some vengeance.
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 101: Ready to Wed
EllieDeja vu. That was the only way Ellie could describe how she felt getting ready for her wedding--again. This time, Shelby was with her and so was Patricia. The fact that River's mother was in her bedroom with her as her hair was being styled made Ellie feel a little bit better about how this ceremony would be different than the last one--the one that didn't take place at all.She had on the same dress as last time and the same shoes. The same earrings hung from her ears, the same necklace was draped around her neck, and she had on the same bracelet and garter.The only thing different was that since the last time she'd done this, she'd killed another Alpha.Or at least, she'd driven him to his death. When Ellie thought about the last time she was getting ready to marry River, Blade was actually there, standing with the other Alphas and guests, ready to witness the ceremony.My, how things had changed in the last several weeks."You look absolutely gorgeous!" Patricia told her as
Last Updated : 2022-10-26The Last Luna Chapter 102: Love You Forever
EllieThe ceremony was a blur. Ellie had never imagined she'd get married in the first place so she'd never given much thought to what it would be like to stand up there in front of everyone and say those intimate words to a man, especially one she hadn't truly gotten to know yet.But as she stood there, staring into River's eyes, repeating the words that the priest told her to say, she could've been rattling off a recipe or listing the names of the plants that grew in the woods around them. She wasn't paying any attention to what she was saying, not even a little bit.It wasn't that she didn't mean them; she absolutely did. She was promising that she'd give this man everything she had for the rest of her life. That wasn't something she took lightly. It was just… everything around her seemed to get lost in the whirlwind while she and River were lost in one another. They may as well have been getting married in the eye of a hurricane.The only part of the short ceremony she was certai

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
