Waking up, I realise I am alone in the bed yet again, Alexander must have got out of bed ahead of me. He says it is because he hates to see how sad I look when he leaves but it hurts me more to wake up alone. I thought the point of having a mate was to never feel lonely again.

He is overwhelmed with work as Alpha of this huge pack, following the battle with the Five Lakes Alpha’s everything turned upside down, including losing his father. These last months have shaken his confidence. Every decision he makes he worries will be the one that destroys his father’s legacy. It has been chaotic with the funeral, the coronation, strategic planning for the pack’s future, a never-ending list of things for a leader to do.

My world has changed too. Now I am officially Luna I cannot just take off running or vanish into the library whenever I feel like it. The daily running of the castle has fallen to me, so I have my fair share of boring meetings to contend with myself. Wrapping an ivory silk robe around me and tying up my mess of brown curls I headed through the double doors of our suite into the study when my heart melted with sadness. 

Alexander did not wake ahead of me, he fell asleep at his desk after working late into the night. Head on the table, his arms splayed, it reminded me of an exhausted child. The kind who collapses asleep whilst insisting they aren’t tired.

Softly, I rub his huge shoulders, lulling him out of sleep. I can’t help but stare adoringly at my handsome mate. Wrapped in a white shirt the muscles of his broad shoulders are clearly defined. His hair, still a long, unruly mess of black curls made my stomach twitch with longing.

I gently stroked my hands through his locks until he gently stirred. His jaw was firm and masculine, everything about him oozed power, yet I could not wait for him to open his eyes. Those powerfully dark, almost black eyes of his still swallowed up every other thought in my head when he turned his hungry gaze upon me.

“Hmm, Hel…what time is it…” he grunted as he slowly came around.

“It is just past nine,” I whispered, gently kissing his shoulder. He flew up from his chair rubbing his face, “I have a meeting in half an hour!” he growled in frustration and quickly vanished into the bathroom. I sighed and sat upon his now-empty desk. A few minutes later he peered out from the bathroom door, with a guilty look on his face.

 I smiled at him, throwing a clean shirt at him from his wardrobe. Why add any more stress to his day. 

Throwing his old white shirt off as he strode forwards, he pulled into his massive chest and squeezed me tightly. I wrapped my arms around as much of him as I could, surprised at how much I had missed his warm body against mine. Fyre, my wolf was doing circles of joy at being back in his arms.

“I know this is hard, and it’s not what either of us wants It is short term I promise, once I have Beta’s I can trust enough I can drop a lot of this work.”

“I know, I can’t help wanting you to myself though,” I murmured, running my hands through his chest hair. I looked up into his eyes and saw those little glitters of purple in his iris that I adored so much.

“This is exactly why I have to leave before you wake you know,” he muttered. With a smirk as he held me closer, “those big brown eyes of yours…” he muttered as his head dived down to meet my lips. Collapsing into each other, we hungrily embraced. Heat spread throughout my body as he gently nuzzled the scar on my collarbone with his stubbled cheek where he had marked me whilst kissing my neck.

I ran my hands through his hair then felt every bit of his bare chest and back that I could. I was like a starving animal at a feast, I desired every single bit of him right there and then. Annoyingly he sensed my eagerness yet broke off his embrace. His eyes glittered with even more purple shards and I knew his wolf was sorely tempted.

“You are trouble, for a man with fifteen minutes to get to a meeting,” he grumbled, shifting some of my curls behind my ear softly.

“Hmm, but what if I was very very…” 

The door knocked sharply before I had a chance to make him late. Alexander quickly threw the new shirt on, and I re-tied my robe and headed back into the bedroom half of our suite. One of Alexander’s Betas had entered to brief him for the day's events. The eventual bang of a closing door told me I faced another day on my own.

Climbing back into bed I weigh up my situation with a pang of sadness. Alexander still doesn’t know who killed his father and it torments him. How can I tell him after all these months that it was Azalea? But that there is no proof, nothing other than a mind-link boast from her that I can't prove even happened.

The only solution I could think of at the time was to recommend her and Ivan move away to Five Lakes, ostensibly as part of securing the new territory. Alpha Dex of the Rising Star pack was absorbing Five Lakes but there were huge shared borderlines that needed assessing and agreeing. 

The guilt of not being completely honest with my mate keeps me awake at night. My wolf Fyre doubles down on the guilt too and begs for me to confess what I know.

Sinking into the soft pillows I am terrified of seeing that tiny little brunette and her uncanny ability to read my thoughts. Ivan is such a valuable Beta and one of my best friends yet I cannot confide in him either. I closed my eyes with the pressure of it all. On top of Alexander, how do I convince my best friend that his mate is a traitor to the pack?

  • The Luna's Rejected Assassin   Epilogue

    FOUR YEARS LATERThe softly lapping river is a constant source of joy. It gives the small family within all they need. Fresh drinking water cleans their clothes and bodies. Little Zena, a black-haired bundle of energy loves creating boats out of anything she can get her hands on, green eyes with a cat-like tilt sparkling as she works.Her little brother Finn is more reserved, he can spend hours laid beside the river, the gentle sounds of the brook helping his imagination wander into the far-off lands of adventure he hears his parents talking about.Their parents were doting and kind. At night they would pack them into their big, shared bed, the duck feather mattresses and pillow cushioning them softly, and tell them tales of daring adventures. How on their motorcycles they had travelled hundreds of miles to the very

  • The Luna's Rejected Assassin   Chapter 94 - Bella POV

    The familiar little cottage with the bent chimney soon came into view. My stomach churned but I tried to clamp down on my worries for Lucien. He knew what he was doing, my sending him waves of panic was hardly going to help.We pulled up outside the cottage and he sat for a minute with his head down breathing deeply. Hopping off the bike and taking my helmet off I slowly wandered down the crooked path towards the door. I had last knocked on this door living under Bram’s shadow, Gitte hiding in the wings. Padgett and whatever it was she could do was our best chance at getting some closure on the pain Lucien was suffering.The door slowly opened, and that familiar face reappeared. The chunky, clanging jewellery and grey eyes were the same. Her Wispy auburn hair scattered around her face like a misshapen crown and if anything she had become even plumper. She

    Marked. Finally I had everything I ever wanted.Lucien's eyes went to the sky as he struggled to contain his pleasure. The base of his cock had swollen like a plug clamping us together. Every tiny movement rubbed my clit against it.After all the pleasure he had given me the tables were suddenly turned. Now knotted he was the one who could be pleasured no end. His eyes shot to mine as I rocked my hips. I think he thought I'd have nothing left.To be honest three earth shattering orgasms and I should have been out for the count. But that mark, being given that seemed to be a recharge and now all I wanted was to watch that handsome bastard lose it all over again."Bella," he said in a warning voice."What?" I said innocently, c

    I had her right where I wanted her. Naked, the firelight bouncing off her immaculate body and all mine. She fully deserved this, all afternoon my cock had been in agony against the saddle of the bike.I'd sped up, swerved, slowed down to let her overtake me trying to think of anything to get her mind off my dick. The past few days have been unreal. It's a strange sensation allowing all this love and adoration to seep into my bones. She was everything, her grey eyes sparkling and laughing as she whizzed by in the sunshine.But right now, here in the moonlight she was all mine. Her quivering, shaking body was already wracked with pressure. Just my fingers probing inside her gave me fireworks, watching her jerk to my command made my dick twitch harder with every gulp of air she swallowed in.My dick didn't need any mor

  • The Luna's Rejected Assassin    Chapter 91 - Bella POV

    Our first job was to get back to the gold. I kind of enjoyed having to live rough on the road again. I really am not made for the high end luxury life in a castle it turns out. The days were long but the views were stunning.Long open roads, winding valleys, lakes and the back of Lucien. I blamed the bikes, the vibration and the pebbly path but really, the reason I joyously leapt onto him and showered him with kisses every time we stopped was because I was that attracted to him.Three days staring at his back on the roads meant I knew the outline of his body better than my own. His soft boyish curls of short brown hair that softened his appearance. The wide, humongously muscled shoulders that looked as though they could rip trees from the ground.The very best thing was pulling up alongside him every so often and ca

  • The Luna's Rejected Assassin   Chapter 90 – Bella POV

    My eyes fluttered open after a huge splash of water hit my face.A terrifying thought struck me as I spluttered back into consciousness that I was back in the river and that everything between Lucien and I had been a coma dream. Thankfully the first thing I saw, same as back when he first rescued me were those eyes. Kind, full of love and concern and for the first time, brimming with tears.“Lucien, they said I could go,” I whispered, placing my hand on his cheek softly brushing away his tear.He didn’t say a word, just held me closer to him, squeezing me as though I might fly away if he loosened his grip. “Lucien, we can be together,” I whispered again, this time placing a soft kiss upon his cheek.He stroked my hair softly, although
