RIEKA I could feel the tension rolling off Aleksandr in waves. I’ve never seen him this stressed out or unsure of himself. “Any word on Dustin’s condition?” I asked as I turned my attention back to Lis. “He’s stable but showing no signs of waking up. He’s definitely under some sort of spell.” Aleksandr growled as he began pacing again. Although I had a plan, I knew that he was in no position to fully grasp it at the moment. “I think we should put out an order to the warriors to watch for Emmett and let them know that he betrayed the pack.” My mate stopped pacing and stared at me like he was waiting for the punchline. “I’m serious,” I continued, “he was their leader and they trust him. Since he rejected the pack and left without telling us anything, we have to assume that he can’t be trusted. That means the warriors need to know. What if he shows up before some of them giving orders and they don’t know not to obey him?” Aleksandr was grinding his teeth to suppress a growl
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 75: Bringing Them into the Fold
RIEKA I was excited to bring Jericho and Gina into this. I knew without a doubt that they could be trusted, and I knew that Gina, especially, had a skillset that would benefit us in the current situation. The guilt about not telling Aleksandr exactly what I was thinking and what my plan was, niggled at the back of my mind, but I also knew that he had too much on his plate right now. It was finally my turn to protect him, and I would make sure that I did it the best I could. It took about 40 minutes before Jericho and Gina arrived to Aleksandr’s office. “Sorry it took us so long to get here,” Jericho apologized as he ducked his head in submission. Gina was holding his hand, trailing slightly behind him, but she smiled at me as she entered the room with her mate. Our friendship had really grown over the last several months and I was overjoyed to see her again. Even though we were friends, she knew to respect my position in the pack at a time like this. She remained quiet and al
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 76: Caring for the Alpha pt. 1
RIEKAI know a migraine when I see one. I’ve had plenty in my life, but judging by Aleksandr’s behavior, he’s never experienced this before. Knowing exactly what to do, I head out to gather supplies and make sure that everyone knows not to disturb him unless absolutely necessary.Fear began to creep up in my mind as well. Werewolves rarely get sick and usually don’t suffer from things like migraine headaches. I just wish I knew what was bringing this on for my mate.I found Lucy in the kitchen and asked her to link Lis for me to get her to come to the kitchen. Then I went searching for ice packs and heating pads. I should have known that with the fast healing of werewolves, they wouldn’t have those sorts of supplies just lying around.Lis showed up while I was making coffee.“Luna, I got the message from Lucy that you needed me.”Quickly spinning to face her, she must have seen the concern in my expression. “What’s going on?” she asked more urgently.“It’s Aleksandr,” I grimace
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 77: Caring for the Alpha pt. 2
ALEKSANDR The pack doctor didn’t want to wait to run the additional tests. Rieka was panicking and I wanted to comfort her, but my head hurt so badly that I could barely focus. “Let’s do whatever we need to do to make this stop,” I said through grit teeth as I pushed myself up to my feet. Rieka gasps and jumps up beside me. “Please be careful, Aleksandr. You have to keep your heart rate down or you’ll make it worse.” “I’ll link Luna Vasilisa and ask her to pull a car around,” the doctor replied. I wanted to growl at both of them not to baby me, but then I realized that standing alone had increased the pain. I started to wince and stopped myself because I didn’t want to further worry my mate. Instead, I gave a faint smile and took a few cautious steps towards the door. Rieka walked by my side with her arm around my waist as if she was helping to maneuver my body. The idea would have made me chuckle if I wasn’t in so much pain, but by the time we made it to the front of the pa
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 78: Expanding
ALEKSANDR The second the sunlight hit my skin; my eyes squeezed even tighter closed as my pounding headache intensified into a sharp pain. It felt like someone had just slid a long sharp object straight through my head. Rieka’s touch on my arm was the only comfort I had. In a few short seconds we were inside the dark cool car, and without opening my eyes, I leaned back against the seat, reaching my hands up to massage my temples, but Rieka’s delicate touch beat me to it. The moment her fingertips touched my head, I was filled with a rush of warmth, and the pain began to subside slightly. The car remained silent as I felt the movement of us pulling away from the hospital. As my mate began gently massaging my temples the warmth slowly grew until it felt like a raging fire. Most people would say that a burning sensation was not good, and I’d usually be inclined to agree with them, but this was a welcomed change from the migraine I’d been experiencing and somehow was not actually
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 79: Growing Power
RIEKA My jaw almost hit the floor when I heard voices other than Aleksandr’s in my mind. ‘This is amazing! But how is it possible?’ ‘I’m not sure how it happened, but after resting for a short while, my head suddenly began to feel better,’ Aleksandr explained. ‘Not just from the headache going away, but my mind felt clearer and somehow bigger, more open, than it ever has before.’ ‘So, you created a group mind-link that includes me and the others?’ I questioned. ‘How did you know you could do it? Do you think you could have done it before, or do you think this is a new ability you’ve somehow acquired?’ ‘I don’t think I could have done it before but when my mind cleared, it was like I suddenly knew what to do and how to do it.’ I could hear the satisfaction in my mate’s tone. ‘However this became possible, it’s definitely going to make communication with the Luna much easier,’ Gina beamed as she winked at me. ‘Now that we can all communicate, and the alpha is feeling better,
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 80: Break Through
EMMETT As Jacinda and I were escaping, several wolves tried to stop us. It was easy to overpower the warriors and keep moving, but when Dustin was waiting outside the holding facility, I knew we were in trouble. As beta of the pack, he’s strong than me, and there’s no way I could beat him one-on-one. Fortunately for me, Jacinda stepped in, and when she touched Dustin, he slumped lifelessly to the ground. I have no idea what exactly she did to him, and for a split second, I panicked that I was behaving treasonously towards my pack, but Jacinda assured me that he would be fine. After rejecting the pack, I told Jacinda that she would need to ride on my wolf so we could get to a safe location quickly. She agreed, but when I shifted into my red wolf, she stood there just staring at me for several long seconds. My wolf began to preen because his mate was staring at him. I’ve never seen him respond to anyone like this, and it’s hard to believe that just 24 hours ago I was prepared to
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 81: Break Through
ALEKSANDR It was as if my eyes had been shrouded by darkness. I couldn’t see or feel anything, but my ears were picking up faint sounds. This was not a normal mind-link. It was as if I’d been transported somewhere else, but I could still feel the presence of Drea and my own mate, so I knew I hadn’t left the room. ‘Alpha, is that you?!’ It was such a relief to hear Dustin’s voice. ‘Yes, Beta, it’s me. What happened?’ ‘I was waiting outside when Emmett and Jacinda emerged from the holding facility, and Emmett looked a little crazed, like he was ready to fight me. I didn’t want to fight him, but I knew I could take him. Before either of us could do anything, Jacinda stepped forward and laid her hand on my arm. Everything just went dark, but I’ve been fighting to get out of this. Did you catch them? Please tell me you have them both in custody.’ ‘Sorry Dustin, they both escaped. We don’t know where they are at the moment.’ He growled his frustration, and I was right there

ALEKSANDRAs 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
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 110: The Game Begins
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
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 107: Mounting Tension
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
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 106: Searching for Help
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

The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 105: On the Run
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
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 104: Secrets Revealed
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?
