The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 96: Not Quite Right
RIEKA I couldn’t explain it. I hadn’t had any dreams, or visions, but somehow, I just knew it was the Nightshade Pack, and that knowledge terrified me. We came back here because we had Jacinda, and she was going to help defend against any alphas who came seeking the power they thought I could grant them. Now that Jacinda was not a part of the picture, I had no idea how things was going to play out. It occurred to me then, that while we were with Alpha Cornelis at the Night Stalkers Pack, Jacinda had said that it was the Nightshade Pack that was attacking, but we ended up with Alpha Kareem of the Mystic Shadow Pack. Was Jacinda wrong? Were both packs there? Maybe she lied to us and knew it wasn’t them. Not knowing where her loyalties lie, or if she even had any, was the part that was hardest for me. I trusted her, and a part of me still wanted to, but a much larger part of me was wary of her and anything she’s ever told me. I was now extremely uncomfortable with the idea that
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 97: Spying for Intel
JACINDA It took another 8 hours before I was strong enough to get out of the bed, but even then, I wasn’t back to my normal self. Visions had never affected me like this before, and recently I’d been feeling stronger than ever, so what had happened that I had become so helpless and weak? After 3 days I could tell that Emmett was worried. He doted on me like a sick child. If it had been anyone else, I would have felt annoyed by their apparent pity, but he was my mate, and I could feel his genuine concern. He did not pity me. He had even neglected his own needs to focus on me. Without shaving for a few days, he had grown a full beard and I was surprised that it was much darker than his hair. It could use a trim, but otherwise I realized I liked it. It was actually rather sweet to see this large male trying to prepare food for me and handle me so delicately. When we’d made love before it was rough and needy and aggressive, but now, he moved gingerly, like he was worried he wou
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 98: Speeding Up the Timeline
RIEKA “Gina, are you feeling alright?” “Yeah,” she smiled, “I’m doing great. Why do you ask?” “Your eyes look a little bloodshot and… I thought I saw something in them.” “I mean, I’m a little tired from all the extra work,” she smiles sheepishly, “but what do you mean? What did you see?” “I don’t know. It’s probably just my head playing tricks on me,” I shrug it off. “I do think we need to delegate some of your responsibilities to others so you can get more rest before the pup arrives,” I smile at her swollen belly, remembering my pregnancies with my four children. “I’ve still got at least 2 weeks before the pup arrives, and I’m fine, really.” “Don’t be ridiculous.” I laughed as I scolded her, “We all know you’re the strongest woman around, but even the strongest need to rest. After we’re done catching up, I order you, as your Luna, to go home and rest.” Gina pouted but didn’t argue with me. ----- JACINDA It wasn’t hard to find Gina and search her memories for any hint
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 99: Divide and Conquer
RIEKALis and I have been meeting daily so she can do her best to train me in how to use my gift. No two seers are exactly the same, so my abilities may vary from hers, but she said it was worth trying to teach me everything she knows.Frustration was building as I struggled to complete simple tasks, but Lis kept reminding me that I might not have the same skills as her so I might not be able to do all the things she could do. It felt like I couldn’t do anything. So far, the only gift we had in common was visions through dreams.We decided to focus on the dreams and see if I could manipulate them, or if I only received information through them. Lis suspected that since I have seen Jacinda in my dreams and spoken with her, that I would have some sort of control in the dream world, but I was feeling discouraged and doubtful.“This doesn’t seem to be working.” I groaned in frustration as I sat up on the bed. I was fully dressed and trying to dream without sleeping. Lis said that s
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 100: Reconnaissance
RIEKA There was a stretching sensation, and then a sudden snap, and I felt my body and my mind become two separate entities. There was nothing to see or do, I could only feel, so I focused my mind on what I wanted. I needed to find the Nightshade pack. I needed to know where they were and what they were planning. I could feel air moving against my skin, but it wasn’t necessarily cold. Was a breeze blowing, or was I moving? I was still shrouded in darkness, so I had no idea, but I did my best to ignore the sensation and focus on finding the Nightshade pack. Slowly, my eyes began to focus, and a very faint light illuminated the area around me. I felt the earth beneath my feet, and I could smell the damp air. I recognized that smell. I reached a hand out and felt cool earth beside me. Shit! I’m underground again. I started to feel panicked at the memories of being abducted by Silas and held in an underground cell, but I quickly reminded myself that I’m dreaming and I’m in co
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 101: Revelations pt. 1
EMMETT I followed Beau a few miles deeper into the forest, unsure where he was leading me. There weren’t any places to hide out here since we’d defeated the Blood Eclipse Pack. Their pack members who joined Silver Eclipse gave up all their secret hiding spots, and Jericho had also reported all of his little nooks and crannies that he’d used to hide in plain sight. Most of them weren’t worth concealing, so we just abandoned them, but now that I’m out hear following Beau to whatever spot he thinks will be safe, I’m second guessing how all of that was handled. He stopped in a somewhat open area, next to a cluster of trees. Is this the entrance to another hideout, I wondered to myself as I examined the group of trees that were obviously too close together. Beau turned his back to the cluster of trees and faced a tall skinny sapling just behind me. After tapping a rhythm, he began drawing a pattern on the tree with his middle finger before wrapping his hand around the small truck an
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 102: Origins
JACINDA “She’s HIS pup?” I questioned, confused. The she-wolf dropped her head in shame. “So, he’s your mate?” “No,” she quickly corrected, “he’s just her biological father.” She sounded defensive. “We’re not mates.” she whispered This was an unexpected turn of events. The majority of the wolves I’ve met have always been very committed to the mate bond. Why would this she-wolf have a pup with a male that wasn’t her mate? “I’m sorry, I have limited knowledge about your culture,” I pursed my lips for a moment while I contemplated the situation, “but why would you have a pup with someone who wasn’t your mate?” “It was not my choice.” She responded meekly without meeting my eyes. That statement made me freeze. Not her choice? This alpha really was a monster. Examining the mother more closely, I could see that she wasn’t just emotional about her pup missing, she also appeared fearful and broken. I’d assumed that the dark circles under her eyes were due to lack of sleep sinc
The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 103: The Alpha
RIEKAI waited a moment after the males walked away, debating with myself whether or not to follow. This is ridiculous. Of course, I’m going to follow them. This is why I’m here. Even if Emmett can see me, he didn’t say anything.As I was rushing down the hall to catch up, I realized that it was eerily quiet. The males weren’t talking to one another as they walked, and when I finally caught up to them, I understood why.The patrol wolf was messing with something on the wall. I stayed a few paces back, though I’m sure Emmett knew I was there watching after he briefly glanced over his shoulder in my direction. His wolf eyes would see me easily, even with the absence of light.After a few more seconds, there was a click and the wall began to move, revealing a door to another hallway.So that’s why I wasn’t able to find anything or anyone before. I wondered why my ability would bring me here, instead of just putting me on the other side of this door, but I didn’t have much time to

The Luna's Family Secret Chapter 111: Awake
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?
