ALEKSANDR

As eager as I was to see Rieka, my mother had already made it clear that she was stable, and Dustin, my best friend and my Beta, was awake!

I turned down the hall towards the room where Drea and little Link had been staying with him.

It was a joy to hear his voice as I approached the room.

Although I am the alpha and this is my pack house, I didn’t want to walk in and interrupt the moment this family was reunited.

I slowed in the hallway as I approached the door, and as I raised my hand to knock, Dustin’s voice broke through my mind.

‘You don’t need to knock Alpha!’

Laughing, I lowered my hand to grab the handle and open the door.

I’m not usually an emotional male, but when I saw Dustin sitting up in bed with Drea beside him and Link in his arms, my vision blurred from the tears welling up in my eyes.

“It’s good to see you up!” I smiled

“It’s good to be up!” He answered with a twinkle in his eye.

“What happened? How did you get out of that?”

“Jacinda released me.” Dustin

    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

    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

  • The Luna's Family Secret   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

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    EMMETT A game? I turned to look at the alpha and, on the surface, he looked bored, but there was something in his eye that felt like a warning. He’s planning something. If I want to figure out what it is, I need to play along. Who knows, maybe I do have some special abilities that this crazy little she-wolf can help me unlock. “Okay,” I smiled cockily, “How do we play?” “Oh, yay! This will be fun!” Devan jumped up and down excitedly. There was something very child-like about her. It seemed odd, but then again, she was working with an interesting pack, so who was I to judge her behavior. “We can’t play here. There isn’t enough space,” she grinned, “Follow me.” Without waiting for a response, she turned and disappeared between the curtains. Slowly, I stepped forward, attempting to appear confident but unbothered to rush. I still couldn’t get a good read on this alpha and I was unsure if he expected me to listen to Devan and do as she said or wait for his instructions. Whe

  • The Luna's Family Secret   Chapter 109: A Plan

    EMMETTStartled by the sound, I spun around to see a petite female with wild, curly red hair standing next to the curtain that framed the shadows beyond.She was wearing a bright, cherry-red pantsuit with a white blouse and black heels. Her clothes looked much too clean and professional to be in a place like this, however, her wild, unkempt hair and pale, almost translucent, skin fit perfectly with the vibe of this underground labyrinth.She was pretty enough, albeit very small for a wolf. The things that unnerved me though, were her eyes. Framed with dark makeup, they were such a light grey that they almost looked like they had been drained of life itself. There was a vacancy in her gaze that made me feel like she wasn’t fully here.I realized I was staring, and a slow, devious smirk made its way across her red lips.“It’s been a long time since I saw another red wolf,” her voice was higher than I expected, but not childlike.“This is Devan,” the alpha gestured towards the female

  • The Luna's Family Secret   Chapter 108: Help from a Traitor

    ALEKSANDR As I rushed towards the house that I’d been told was where the mother of the pup lived, my natural instinct was to scent the air. I knew that Jacinda didn’t have a detectable scent, but that didn’t stop my wolf from searching for her with every sense he possessed. Glancing through a window as I approached the house, I thought I saw two women standing inside. I rushed to the door and thought about shifting, but Jacinda had already had me in compromising situations too many times before, so I remined in my wolf form to avoid being naked in front of her. My weight slammed the door open with such a force that it hit the wall and I heard a loud crack. I would apologize later and make sure the door was properly repaired. Turning in the room, eyes searching, I saw a she-wolf standing there in shock with her mouth open, but there was no one else with her. I opened my mind through the pack link to the she-wolf before me. ‘Where is she?’ I demanded. ‘I know I saw her through

    ALEKSANDRPanic, anger, and fear flowed through my body like I’d never felt it before. Why does the moon goddess taunt me. All the strength and power I possess as an alpha, and it’s all worthless. I hated that my mate was once again in danger, and there was literally NOTHING I could do to save her.Here I am, one of the most powerful alphas in the world, and I’m powerless to save and protect my own mate.Leaving my mother with Rieka, I had to move. I had to do something, to take action.Flinging the door to the pack house open, and smelling the forest outside, I immediately shift into my wolf and took off towards the homes of the pack members. I only had one idea left for who could help, and as much as I didn’t want to go there, I was desperate.The challenge was how to find her. Jacinda has a skill for staying hidden when she doesn’t want to be bothered, but she had to know what was going on.With only one idea of how to find her, I went to the only place I thought she would be

    ALEKSANDR After several minutes of trying to rouse Rieka without success, I began to panic. My natural instinct was to shake her harder to wake her, but I knew that wouldn’t help. I would be extremely frustrated with myself if I ever hurt her, but even more so at a time like this when she was unconscious. ‘Mom, something is wrong with Rieka!’ I linked, ‘Please come to our room immediately!’ ‘I’ll be there in three minutes,’ she responded promptly. ----- I was pacing the room growling to myself when the door opened, and my mother flicked the lights on before rushing over to the bed. Lightly placing the back of her hand over Rieka’s forehead she asks, “How long has she been like this?” “I just came in and found her like this about 10 minutes ago. What is going on?” My mother remained silent as she examined my mate. Then she clasped both of Rieka’s hands together, closed her eyes, and bowed her head until her forehead touched Rieka’s. I watched in awe as my mother began to ra

    JACINDA I couldn’t believe how much Maeve was opening up to me and sharing with me. The more I learned about this alpha, the more I wanted to end him, but I didn’t dare interrupt her story. “I was doing everything I could to be cooperative, to make him and the guards trust me. My pregnancy was easy and even though I knew the alpha didn’t care about me, he was very interested in the pup I carried, and he visited me regularly. He had the pack doctor monitor my pregnancy very closely to see how strong the pup was.” “Before I gave birth, I started having recurring dreams of me and a baby girl. I would be holding her, and she would smile and giggle, but then the alpha would show up, and she would begin crying. The alpha always wanted to hold her, but she would just cry louder, so he would get frustrated and hand her back to me.” “A few weeks later, the alpha left the territory. I didn’t know where he was going but I knew he’d be gone for at least a week. He left the doctor with s

    RIEKA The moment I stepped into the space between the curtains, I was enveloped in cold darkness. I couldn’t see a thing, and besides the cold I could only feel the ground beneath my feet. Slowly shuffling my feet forward, feeling for a drop or a wall, I pushed myself to keep going. After moving straight ahead a few feet, my toes felt something warm and I knew I must have found the other side. I reached my hands forward and my fingers felt the warmth as well. One bold step and I found myself in a small warm room that looked vaguely similar to my mate’s office. There was a desk where the alpha was sitting comfortably; his chair reclined, and his feet propped up on the desk. There were two chairs in front of the desk, but Emmett was standing beside them rather than sitting. This space was darker than the large room we’d just come from, so I stayed close to curtain hoping I would not be noticed by Emmett. “Tell me, red wolf, what is it that you’re hoping to gain by coming here?
