The Luna's Law Chapter 41
*Logan*I didn't even have time to cross the state line and already knew something was wrong. Alarmed, Gunnar tested his hearing and smell and started trying to contact the nearest outpost.The night was darker than usual in the north at this time. Dark clouds obscured the stars so much that even the moon and the Milky Way could not penetrate their surface. They hung so low above the tops of the snow-covered pines that they gave me chills.'It's not clouds; it's smoke,' Gunnar alarmed, and I watched them with a rapidly beating heart.Regardless of the snowy and slippery surface, I stepped on the gas pedal. Something ominous was coming towards us, and I felt it was just the beginning. Poppy started to wake up and mumble something incoherent, but I didn't pay her mind. I wanted to investigate the cause of the smoke as quickly as possible.We were less than thirty miles from Autumn Pack, and my heart was beating faster by the second. The road was empty, and the falling snow turned gray,

*Logan*I didn't think; I acted. As soon as I broke through the wall of people separating us from the fire, I rushed towards the apartment. No one had spoken to me about Gemma, so I could only assume the girl was still inside, although I hoped I was wrong.Moon Goddess, please make me wrong. I prayed and sped up while I didn't hesitate to make decisions.People were shouting from behind, telling me not to go, begging me to stop, but Gunnar kept pushing forward as if in a trance, bouncing off the scalding ground and jumping into the burning building through the broken window.My fur caught fire from the tongues of fire melting the silicone in the windows, making me vomit. The smell of burning combined with the stench of burning skin was not my favorite, but I ignored it, focusing on finding what I came here for."Gemma," Gunnar called her name but immediately coughed as he inhaled the smoke.The kitchen we entered was ablaze with vivid colors, leaving nothing that could be identified.

*Poppy*I stood with my forehead against the window, staring at two beds next to each other in an isolated hospital room. The nurses administering fluids wore masks on their faces, and every change of dressing on their bodies made them turn their heads, unable to stand the sight.I was exhausted and wanted to howl in despair, but I couldn't—or maybe I shouldn't—because even seeing Arthur and Daliah like that, I knew I couldn't help them until I finished this process with Seamus.No one said anything, but I could read in their faces that Seamus had arranged it. Even though his fingerprints weren't on anything of the crime scene, I knew he was the one pulling all the strings. This was his message to me, his warning.Don't try to win with me, little one, because you will fail and lose everything.I remembered his words whispered in my ear as he laughed loudly, humiliating me in front of our old pack. I wanted to fight and get up, but his words, fierce gaze, and the hundred people behind

*Poppy*"Are you completely fucked up in your head?" I yelled as I got up from the chair with force."I understand that we have to keep her safe. I also understand how dangerous Seamus is, but to suggest something like that! You must have lost your mind." I accused Logan, looking at him like he was a complete idiot, forgetting that I was insulting a royal family member."Poppy, be careful who you talk to.""And you, Albert. Are you supporting him in this? Has the smoke clouded your sound mind?" I interrupted Albert and pointed my accusing finger at Alpha, who accepted me into his pack and sheltered me."Looking for a safe place for Gemma is one thing, but putting her under the supervision of bloodsuckers, giving them my daughter as some sweet snack on the plater is madness!"I shouted at them as I stood in the middle of Alpha's office, pulling my hair at their nonsense. They both looked at me as if I was crazy and not them. Albert sat in his armchair drinking his favorite cold beer, a

*Poppy*My mind was utterly blown away. If Santa Claus was looking for a new location for his Christmas village, he could find a great place in Piemonthelm. This city is a separate world located near Autumn Pack, hidden behind Mount Vilhelm, where, according to legend, anyone who enters will not emerge from the swamp unscathed."Are we sure we're in vampire territory?" I leaned and whispered over the handbrake so no one but Logan could hear me.Logan chuckled at my question and turned left, passing a literal cottage that looked like it was made of gingerbread, dripping frosting from every window and happily chirping people chatting over giant chocolate cookies."Mom, it's like a fairy tale here. Can we live here? Please, please?" Gemma squealed from the backseat, almost breaking out of her car seat to press herself against the window."I thought the palace was like something out of a fairy tale. Honey, I know it's cute here, but we're just visiting someone here. We are not going to be

*Poppy*If I thought the village was extraordinary, the inside of the mansion blew my mind with its arrangements: baubles, garlands, candies, artificial snow, and, the cherry on top, people dressed up like elves walking around the mansion, ringing bells sewn on their green vests."What the fuck-""Don't. Don't you dare comment! You don't want to offend the host and, most importantly, wash away the smiles on their faces, do you?"Albert warned, putting his index finger to my lips, silencing me. He pointed at the overjoyed Trevor and Gemme, jumping excitedly and eating artificial snow that I obeyed, although reluctantly."Mommy, look, it's cotton candy." Gemma squealed with joy as she stuffed another loose piece of cotton the size of her head into her mouth."Honey, don't overdose. This is a decoration, and someone worked very hard to arrange this. We can offend someone by destroying such wonderful and precise work."I removed Albert's finger and glared at him before trying calmly and s

*Poppy*Logan's grip tightened, and a low, almost inaudible growl escaped from his chest as if the new arrival was already getting on his nerves. His possessiveness surprised me, but I didn't dare to tell him to behave."Oh, yeah. This is going to be one hell of a Christmas." The man agreed happily with Albert, and he began to hiss in pain after a while."Ouch. What's that for?" The man became indignant, assuming the tone of a sulking child."Language, dear boy. Language. You are in the presence of children and ladies. Don't forget your manners, or I will teach them again. Do you want that?" Sybilla turned to the man like a mother disciplining a small child.I didn't see the scene because my nose was almost painfully pressed into Logan's torso, and his previously vibrating chest began to bounce with the intensity of his laughter."It was better than any gift; I wish I had recorded it," he commented, still not breaking the pressure, pushing my nose deeper into his body."Logan. Logan,

*Logan*Gunnar activated when he sensed Andrew's presence, knowing exactly how his damn beauty affected the opposite sex. His possessiveness overtook him and forced me to hug Poppy and release pheromones, warning any man not to approach our mate.'Stop it, you idiot, or someone will discover our secret. You don't want Poppy to find out like that, do you?' I scolded Gunnar, who didn't care about the consequences of his actions.His sulking face remained in my head throughout the dinner, during which not only Andrew, Azize, and Amara noticed our extremely intense possessiveness, but Albert also began to look at me inquisitively.For a whole hour, I sat like a stiff board, holding the cutlery in an iron grip, forcing myself to keep my distance from Poppy and Gemma sitting next to me while each of the men at the table chatted or flirted with her awkwardly.'I don't care; one more sweet look, a compliment, or a wink, and I'll tear off their glowing eyes and make a string of pearls out of t
