Chapter 1: Wedding Surprise

ALEKSANDR

Cornelis was lucky that Rieka was standing next to me because I wanted to rip his throat out for showing up on our wedding day with a bomb like this.  Rieka, on the other hand, seemed genuinely confused while simultaneously intrigued by what Cornelis was saying.  I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t a bit curious myself, but I would have preferred that he waited until we returned from our honeymoon.

I was frustrated and on edge.  A few minutes ago, I was the happiest man in the world.  I was newly married, about to take my human mate, my WIFE, away on our honeymoon.  I’m certain that I’m the only wolf who’s ever waited this long to complete the bond with their mate, and my body was thrumming with excitement.

My eyes slide back over to drink in my gorgeous mate as she continues the conversation with our uninvited guest.  We had changed our clothes, so we’d be more comfortable for traveling.  Although she didn’t know where we were going, Drea helped pack her bags and picked out all of her outfits.

Rieka was currently wearing a pair of white skinny jeans with a light blue fitted long sleeved cotton shirt that perfectly matched her eyes, and a white zip-up hoodie.  Drea wanted to print “Bride” or “Mrs. Volkov” on the back of the sweatshirt, but Rieka and I didn’t want any extra attention drawn to us so I vetoed the idea.

My mate looked stunning in the casual outfit, and I kept thinking about how much better she’d look without it.  I need to calm myself down and focus on the conversation so we can get this over with and get out of here and to the airport.

“So, you’re saying that there are generations of wolves who have been searching for me and my family, but no one really knows why?”

Cornelis shakes his head, “No, that’s not entirely accurate.” His brows furrow as he pauses in thought, “We believe that the dangerous wolves like Alastor Kouris have some information about your family that they aren’t willing to share.  It’s the only explanation for why they’ve been searching so intently.  Once some of the rest of us caught wind of wolves searching for a specific human family, we knew we had to step in to see if we could find you first and offer our protection.”

“She has protection” I growl.

Cornelis head snaps over as his eyes meet mine.  “Yes, I can see that,” he responds with hands raised, “but I wanted to make sure you were aware of the danger.  There are still other groups out there who are searching for her.”

“How many?”

“At least 3 other packs that I’m aware of.”

Rieka gasps as her hands raise up to cover her mouth. “So, my kids and I aren’t safe?”

“No,” I grumble, “You ARE safe.  You and the kids will ALWAYS be safe now that you’re here.  The Silver Eclipse Pack will protect you.”

I hate that this is causing Rieka to worry, but Cornelis continues, heedless of how this is affecting her.

“It took a while to find you because you’re a descendant through a matriarchal line.  Every time a woman got married and changed her name it created another layer that kept the family hidden.”

“Do you think my mother and grandmother knew?!?”  Rieka’s voice went up an entire octave with that question and I could tell that the more she was hearing about this, the more her anxiety was revving up.

“It’s unclear what they knew, if anything.” Cornelis responded.

I didn’t want her stressing out when today was supposed to be our day to celebrate and embrace the mate bond, so I decided to take control of the situation and put a stop to this.

“Alright, it sounds like you don’t have too many answers for us, and we have a plane to catch and a honeymoon to enjoy.”

Rieka started to say something, but I wasn’t going to let her dive back into this right now.  I wrapped my arm around her and begin caressing her back.

“My mom, has all of the Luna’s Guards to help her with the kids, not to mention all of the warriors in the pack.  You have nothing to worry about.”  I only half turn to face our visitor as I continue, “Cornelis, thank you for the warning.  Feel free to stick around and rest up before your trip back home to your pack.  I’ll be in touch when we return to see if you have any additional information for us.”

Cornelis looked frustrated by my abruptness, but he kept his mouth shut and nodded as I gently pulled Rieka towards the door.

I mind-linked Dustin to confirm that our bags were already in the car, ready for us to leave.

We stepped out the front door and descended the stairs to where the kids were lined up in front of the car along with my mom, Dustin, Drea, Alheri, Amber, Ivan, Nadia, Emmett, and the Luna’s Guards.

The rest of the guests were still hanging out at the reception.  Rieka didn’t want to interrupt the party for our exit, so we quietly slipped away while the guests were dancing the night away.

Rieka smiled and hugged everyone as we inched our way down the line, closer to the car.  I was getting impatient to leave, but I didn’t want to rush her.  I knew she wouldn’t be able to relax and enjoy our time together if she felt like she didn’t get proper goodbyes.  The kids were last, and I could see the tears welling up in all of their eyes.

I could have easily listened in as she whispered reassurances in their ears and gave them hugs and kisses, but I turned back to my mother and smiled.  She was beaming as she leaned in to give me a kiss on the cheek.  “Enjoy this time with your mate.  You’ll be safe while you’re there.”

I glance back up at the house and see Cornelis standing outside just in front of the door.  His disapproving stare irks me, but I turn back to my mate and focus on her instead.

A few minutes later we’d finalized our goodbyes and we were snuggled up in the back seat of the Escalade as Ivan drove us to the airport.  Rieka was quiet, but I got the sense that she was mostly relaxed and content.  Typically, her scent would help me to relax as well, but not today.

My wolf was urging me to take her lips and devour her now that we were mostly alone, but it was going to be a while before we reached out destination.  If I got things started right now, I wouldn’t be able to stop, and Rieka would not appreciate me trying anything with Ivan driving, so I clenched my jaw and forced myself to sink into the leather seat and pull Rieka tighter to my side.

She sighed in contentment as she tightened her arms around my waist and rested her cheek against my chest.  It helped me to relax a little more until my wolf tried to push forward again.  Fighting him back, I prepared myself for a long trip of the most intense restraint I’ve ever had to use.  It will all be worth it in about 16 hours.

-----

RIEKA

Cornelis showing up was shocking to say the least.  As soon as he said that my life was in danger I internally panicked.  Of course, my first though was of my kids.  They have already been through so much in the last year.

Not that I didn’t trust Aleksandr and the pack.  I knew he would make absolutely certain that we were all well protected, but even with the training I’d been doing with Aleksandr I knew I’d be no match for any wolf that decided to come after me or my children.  The idea of being so helpless always sent my mind spinning to a bad place.

Unfortunately, Cornelis didn’t have nearly enough information to settle my nerves, but I could tell that Aleksandr took this seriously and wouldn’t let anything happen to us.

I can’t stop wondering why anyone would be searching for me.  There was nothing special about my family, and it’s not like we changed our names and went into hiding.  Yes, my mother and grandmother changed their names when they got married, but most women do that.

Aleksandr tightened his arms around me and brought me back to the present.  We’re in the car on our way to the airport for our honeymoon!  I can’t believe that this day is finally here!  I’m married to a man who is leaps and bounds out of my league and he treats me like a queen, as if he’s the lucky one in this scenario.

A jolt of nerves shoots through my body as I remember what he, Lis, and Drea have all been telling me in order to prepare me for completing the bond.  I’ve always been a bit shy about discussing sex, I know that sounds ridiculous since I have 4 children, but you don’t have to talk about it to do it.

They all insisted that mating with a wolf is different than having sex as a human and they wanted to make sure I was aware of the differences and how completing the bond works so I won’t be too freaked out.

All I know is that Aleksandr will bite me where my neck and shoulder meet while we’re in the throes of passion.  Lis was able to confirm with the other seers that my body should respond appropriately to the mate bond and the process.  The only things we’re unsure of is how the new bond will affect us since I’m unable to bite him back to complete it.  I’m not scared of him, and I trust him, but I’m pretty sure anyone would be a bit hesitant about the idea of someone biting them hard enough to leave a permanent scar.

He must have sensed my tension because he began rubbing the back of my neck.  It felt so good that it actually did help me to relax as I leaned my head against his shoulder, closed my eyes, and took deep breaths to calm my racing heart.

Even without saying anything, we understood each other.  I could tell that the bond between us had grown over the last several months and I looked forward to seeing what it would be like once we actually completed the bond.  Well, half of it at least.

Another jolt shot through me, but this time it wasn’t nerves.  This was pure desire and excitement for what was to come.  I could feel my face heating with the blush, and I was thankful that the car was dark, and Aleksandr wasn’t looking at me.

He must have sensed the change in me, but rather than feeding that desire, he stiffened, almost as if he was afraid to touch me romantically.

All of my fears from before came flooding back to me.  What if he really was worried about not being attracted to me?  I know he spent months reassuring me that he loved me exactly how I am, and he didn’t care that I didn’t have an amazing figure like all of the she-wolves in the pack, but what if he was just trying to make me feel better.  What if when the time comes, he really does notice all the flaws that are so glaringly obvious to me?

My body has changed some from the workouts I’d been doing, but it wasn’t nearly as much progress as I would have liked to make.  My stomach is smaller now, but it still has some fat and the skin is a bit loose where it had stretched during pregnancy.  I don’t think that will ever completely go away.

And don’t even get me started on my boobs.  I remember before having kids when they were slightly smaller and perky.  They got bigger and stayed bigger after having babies, but now they sag, and without a bra, they definitely don’t sit where they ought to.

The thought of Aleksandr seeing me completely bare made me shudder.  With that thought, the desire disappeared completely, and the anxiety returned.  Why do I always have to get inside my own head like this?!  This is NOT how I wanted to start my honeymoon.

As I began to wallow in self-pity we pulled into the airport, and I had to prepare myself to get out of the car and face the man whose opinion of me meant more than any other.  At first, I avoided his gaze by pretending to be hyper focused on getting our bags and getting into the airport, but when Ivan gave his farewells and pulled away from the curb, I couldn’t avoid turning to face Aleksandr.

Love the whole series but The Luna’s Family Secret is my favorite so far with all the twists and turns. The cliffhangers at the end of each chapter keep me in suspense and I love that I can’t predict what will happen next.

Chapter 2: Travel Talk
RIEKA Swallowing the lump in my throat, I turned to face Aleksandr. My Husband. It still feels unreal to acknowledge that we’re actually, finally, married. The second our eyes meet; the nerves melt away completely. Whenever I struggle with self-doubt, I always avoid his eyes because I’m afraid that I’ll see something there to confirm my fears. Afraid that he’ll reveal his own doubts about us, but one look into his eyes always reassures me that this is real, and our love is real. I’m not sure if the mate bond plays a part in that, but at this point does it even really matter? This gorgeous, kind, thoughtful, courageous man pursued me, married me, and he acts like he’s the one who hit the jackpot. He obviously knows that his eyes reassure me, because he never lets me avoid his gaze for long. Eventually, he always lifts my chin, and his eyes drink me in like he’s seeing me for the first time. Suddenly I’m aware that we’re still standing on the curb outside the airport as every

Chapter 3: Dreams
RIEKA I was in the woods alone at night. I kept hearing something and glancing around, but there was nothing I could see. Just trees and bushes, and silver moonlight peeking through the branches illuminating patches across the forest floor. A thin layer of mist also covered the ground. It reflected the moonlight, and made it easier to see my surroundings, but somehow it also added the eerie feel of the area. Another noise caused me to quickly spin around to look behind me, but the only thing I could see was a massive tree. It looked like it was at least 100 years old and strong. It would be a perfect tree for the kids to climb if it wasn’t in the middle of this creepy forest. The branches split and stretched out in every direction beginning around 4-5 feet off the ground, but every branch was thick and strong. Aleksandr could climb this tree without any fear of it breaking under his massive muscular form. I was suddenly captivated by the tree and moved closer to get a better

Chapter 4: Honeymoon Pt. 1
ALEKSANDR Now that we were in Thailand and driving to our final destination, my wolf was getting antsy again. He knew we were getting closer to completing the bond with our mate, and if I hadn’t been driving, he may have been almost impossible to control at this point. The 35-minute drive felt like hours, but I tried to distract my mind with the drive and keeping watch, just to make sure we weren’t being followed by anyone. I know that my mother said we would be safe on our honeymoon, but my protective instincts wouldn’t relent. Rieka was quiet, but I could sense the calm in her, so I didn’t try to get her talking. We enjoyed the peaceful silence and the beautiful scenery as we made our way south. We parked the car by the docks, and I could see the excitement building on Rieka’s face as we approached a yacht that would take us to our private island. The destination wasn’t far, but I refused to give her anything less than the best. I carried our suitcases and Rieka followed clo

Chapter 5: Honeymoon Pt. 2
RIEKA I’m back in the vacant house where my Aunt Meri and the young couple had run for the back door, The large man is still standing in the doorway, and since I don’t know what he’s waiting for, I turn and run towards the back where the others went. The back sliding door was left open and as I move to the back yard, I see a large Grey wolf with black paws snarling as the young father stands between the wolf and his family. Aunt Meri keeps glancing towards the woods behind the house like she’s looking for a safe way to escape. Suddenly the large man appears in the doorway at the back of the house and the little three-year-old begins crying. The grey wolf lunges at the young father at the exact moment that the large man charges towards them. Even though I couldn’t see his face clearly, it was obvious that this man was a werewolf, though he never shifted. I was surprisingly calmer than the last time I had a dream like this. As if my brain knew it was just a dream, and there was n

Chapter 6: Honeymoon Pt. 3
RIEKA I must have dozed off after another round of incredible sex on the couch, and I have no idea how long I’d been out, but I woke up to a chuckling husband and a puddle of my own drool on his chest. I’m glad he found it amusing because I was mortified! I sat up quickly wiping my mouth, “How long have I been sleeping? Why didn’t you wake me up?” “You looked so beautiful and peaceful; I didn’t want to disturb you,” He grinned as he ran his fingers through my hair and pushed it away from my face. “Right,” I rolled my eyes, “I’m sure I looked like the moon goddess herself as I drooled all over you.” Another deep chuckle resonated in his chest as he lightly laid the palm of his hand against my cheek. “To be fair, you weren’t drooling until just a couple of minutes ago.” A fresh breeze of salty ocean air blew through the room, and I suddenly remembered that I was sitting here completely naked. Aleksandr must have sensed the change in my demeanor but rather than point it out, he p

Chapter 7: The Marking
RIEKA I had no idea what Aleksandr had planned for tonight, but if the last 24 hours was any indication, I knew I had a long night of pleasure ahead of me. My husband didn’t seem to be in any sort of a rush, so I relaxed and enjoyed his gentle touch. His hands trailed all over my body, but surprisingly not in a sexual way. It was so peaceful and relaxing that I worried I would fall asleep again and ruin whatever plans he had for later. As I tried to sit up to stay alert, Aleksandr softly repositioned me on the platform beside him and rolled me onto my stomach before he began massaging my arms, legs, and back. “I’m going to fall asleep if you keep this up.” I mumbled with my right cheek squished up against the soft surface. Aleksandr chuckled and then continued to massage my legs all the way up to my ass, which was exposed from the thong bottoms I was wearing. His hands were so strong, and he seemed totally focused on the task of getting me completely relaxed. As I was finally a

Chapter 8: The Aftermath
Chapter 8: The Aftermath ALEKSANDR Rieka would’ve had to bite pretty hard with human teeth to draw blood, but the evidence is there. I look back at my mate just as her eyes flutter open to find mine. Her ice blue eyes are glowing the most beautiful color I’ve ever seen. She still smells human. This must be a sign that the moon goddess heard my plea and blessed us by allowing Rieka to complete the bond. Rieka is a vision of perfection. As she lay naked underneath me, her short hair wild with the evidence of our lovemaking, I can’t imagine anything more beautiful. She doesn’t even seem surprised by her own actions. She’s cool, calm, and collected. I can feel her peace and contentment through the completed mate bond. While I’m busy staring at her in awe, Rieka simply smiles up at me, then pulls me down for another passionate kiss. It’s as if the bond has intensified everything. Her scent is intoxicating and overwhelming, her lips taste the sweetest they ever have, and my bo

Chapter 9: The Link
RIEKA How could this be?! I didn’t speak out loud, but somehow Aleksandr heard my thoughts. I’m not a wolf, I’m human. This shouldn’t be possible… Then again, we don’t really know much about what is and isn’t possible, since having a human mate is so rare. Aleksandr could tell that I was shaken, and he was trying to find out what happened, but I was too stunned to explain. When I finally told him that I hadn’t spoken, his mouth dropped open as well. Then he cursed and turned back to the stove to move the omelets that were starting to burn. When he turns back to me, there is a hint of a smile on his lips. “I heard you… as clearly as if you were speaking to me. You’re sure you didn’t say that out loud?” I’m still too stunned to speak, so I shake my head and Aleksandr mouth breaks into a wide smile and his face lights up with a look of pure joy and delight. He rushes over, wraps his arms around me, and lifts me as he spins and laughs like a child. “This is incredible! Try it again!

Chapter 10: Welcome Home
RIEKA The tension between wanting to find my kids and wanting to check on Drea was weighing me down, so when Aleksandr confirmed that they were safe with his mom, but not ready for us yet, I agreed to go visit Drea at the pack hospital first. I’ve been away from my kids for 2 weeks, so another 45 minutes won’t hurt anything, right? While Ivan shifted into his wolf and took off through the forest, Aleksandr and I jumped back in the car to head to the hospital. After shifting the car into drive, he laced his fingers with mine to hold me as he drove. “You’ll see the kids soon, don’t worry.” He said as he lifted my hand to kiss my fingers. “I know,” I nodded, “I just missed them.” He didn’t say anything else, but I could tell he was mind-linking someone. I assume it was someone at the hospital who could give him some sort of update. While looking out the window watching trees pass by, I remembered that I no longer felt the butterflies under my skin when Aleksandr and I touched. I
