Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 71: Finding Her
AlecAt this rate, it’s starting to feel like I’ll never have a normal day no matter how much I try to fix things. I step out of the car and slam my door on the way out. My Beta is already here, and since I don’t see him anywhere around, I’m guessing he’s inside the house. Margaret’s neighbors are all lingering outside, waiting to be given some information. They’re currently forming a circle around the house, and some of our Gammas are standing before them, armed to inflict fear. They can’t come in this house, not if what I’ve been told is true. There are four other people inside the house, and my Beta is standing next to the body. My heart sinks at the sight of the pool of blood around this woman’s head. I move closer, my footsteps loud in the too-quiet house. My Beta looks up and says, “Well, we’ve got a serious problem in our hands.”“What happened exactly?” I ask. “She called the emergency number in case Delaney Waters showed up, but she didn’t say much else before the call e
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 72: The Shadow in the Dark
DelaneyPollux hasn’t taken his eyes off me since we left Margaret’s house. There’s a slight tremble in my hand, and I’m nauseous. All I can think about is that sickening crack followed by the pool of dark blood around her head. I killed her. I caused this. He’s asked me what’s wrong more than once, but I can’t bring myself to say anything. I’m still struggling to process everything that I learned so far. How will people take this news?Will they even believe me?Will I say something?We spend hours driving around, and even so, I don’t speak. We can’t make it back now because people will see us during the day. It has to be after the sun has set. That’s what Pollux says to me. However, I’m so shocked that I lose track of time. I’m just thinking and thinking, and then, before I know it, we reach the hatch, and he and I are walking toward it. We’ve abandoned the car where we found it, and the sun has set. We have to get out of sight quickly before we’re spotted. It’s only once we’
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 73: Heartfelt Confession
Delaney"Look at me," Alec pleads after a lengthy moment of silence has passed. "You have to leave before the worst happens. They're searching for you all over now, and I won't be able to protect you. More Alphas are involved. It's going to be a mess just like it was the first time.""Protect me?" I hear myself ask. "I thought that you were done with me."His face hardens imperceptibly, and he lets his arm fall to his side. "I thought I was, but whenever I think of cutting you off for good, I can't."I fall silent at this. He's here to warn me, and I'm trying to take jabs at him. None of this is his fault, and up to now, it's clear that all he did was try to protect me in his own way. "I'm sorry," I say after a few seconds have passed. I stare into his eyes when I add, "I shouldn't have said that. It was insensitive. I know that you're just trying to help me, for some reason.""Will you leave?" he asks. "I can make all the arrangements. All you have to do is leave. This won't end wel
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 74: On The Couch
Delaney The softness of the kiss doesn't last long. Soon, Alec is kissing me with a passion that burns right through me. His hand slides over my breast before it settles on my hip, where his fingers dig into my flesh. My hands—and every other part of my body—have a mind of their own. I slide them up his broad chest, feeling his muscles flexing under his shirt. My fingers curl around the hair on the back of his head, pulling him closer toward me. My legs part, allowing him to settle between them. Once that happens, he gets even closer to me, and I feel his erection against my hip. It sends me into a spiral and a deep panic that mixes in with my desire and needs, and makes the moment even more pleasurable for me. This is madness. Absolute madness. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Alec hooks his hands behind my thighs, and I practically jump on him while wrapping my legs around his waist. He slams me against the wall once before, breaking the kiss for a few seconds to plant op
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 75: The Claiming
AlecHer taste floods my mouth as she comes, clenching tightly around my fingered and I lap it all up like I’m dying of thirst. Before this moment, I was and hadn’t even known it. Her scent envelops me. It’s all I smell when I breathe in, and it’s in my mouth now too. But I need more. This isn’t enough. I need her in my fucking bloodstream so she can become an essential part of me. I need her the way my lungs need oxygen. I straighten up, my wolf threatening to make an appearance. I fight with him to keep him underneath, and it’s a constant battle because he wants his mate, but I have to have her before he does. He can’t enjoy her before I can. Delaney stares at me with huge dark eyes. Her face is covered in a thin layer of sweat, and she looks so angelic with her legs spread open for me and her lips bruised from my kisses. I’m struggling with control right now, because I want nothing more than to bury myself inside of her and claim her in the way I’ve always fantasized about do
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 76: Long Live
Delaney With a racing heart, I make it outside. For some reason, I look over my shoulder to ensure that Alec isn't right behind me. He isn't, and I sigh in relief. I stand in the dark and watch as people run up and down the cramped passageway. If I walk out now, it might be suspicious, and they can't find Alec. Not a chance. I don't know where this protectiveness over him came from, but now that it's here, there's no turning back. Something between us has changed, and we will never go back to what we were. My legs are still shaking from the pleasure he's given me, and I can taste myself in my mouth. My head is spinning, so much that I grab the wall of the house to stand upright. I take a few steps, and focus on breathing. They continue to rush past me with torches in their hands. I feel bad for giving them so much trouble, but I have to be mindful and careful, and not make anyone suspicious about where I truly was. I'd told Pollux that I was going to the bathroom, but I probably
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 77: Curse or Blessing
AlecThe exit is as free as it was when I first got here, thank fuck, as I make my way down the dark, narrow tunnel. I run my hand along the rough stone wall, ensuring that I’m going the right way. All the tunnels tend to be interconnected, and when I got here, I almost got lost, but I’ve always had a good memory, so I make my way through be right tunnel.When I reach my destination and push the trapdoor open, the faint scent of lavender and those pungent herbs fills the air. Anna is behind the counter, a pile of ancient-looking books spread before her. She glances at me, her face severe even though a smile flickers over her face. “You look haunted,” she says, a hint of amusement in her voice as I brush the dust off my shirt. I grab my coat from the hanger right next to the trap door, and shrug it on. “Haunted?” I lean against the counter, glancing down at the mess of trinkets and dried plants. “Why do you say so?”She raises a brow, closing one of the books with a snap. “Reading p
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 78: Speeches
DelaneyA meeting is held to introduce me to the world as the daughter of Tobias Renner.Throughout the whole meeting, I’m silent. I let Matteo take the lead. To be honest, I don’t quite know what to do with this newfound admiration that I’m seeing in people’s eyes. Almost everyone is treating me differently, and I don’t see it in a bad way, but it’s quite overwhelming. The only person who’s treating me the same is Pollux, and of course, Paola. They’re seated in the crowd at the bar now, staring at me. I’m seated next to Matteo, and he’s giving a huge speech about my father and what his beliefs were. The whole time, I’m thinking about whether or not Alec left. I’m almost tempted to go and check, but it’ll attract too much attention if I do go there and someone sees me. “…so, let us continue to remember Tobias Renner, and keep him in our hearts for the sacrifices he made. Little did he know that the world would always have a reminder of him, and that his own daughter, not knowing w
