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
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 79: The Stalker’s Identity
DelaneyI race to the spot, feeling somewhat nervous. I make sure to look around before stepping into the darkness. The passageway is completely vacant, so I’m not spotted by anyone. I don’t feel any presence in the dark, but in any case, I say, “Alec?”No answer. I decide to step even closer to the open window, and then peer at it. It’s too dark for me to see a thing, so I call his name again. No answer. I take this as a sign that he’s gone. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he answer me? I choose to believe that he’s safe because thinking the opposite makes me way too paranoid for my own good. I start to turn back, breathing a lot easier, but then I hear a familiar voice calling my name, and no, it isn’t Alec’s. I turn around, and see the man—my stalker—climbing out the window. The sight of him there fills me with dread all of a sudden, but I try to regain my composure. “You,” I say. He steps closer to me, though I can only see the outline of his body and not his face. Suddenly, it all
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 80: Finding The Address
Delaney“Where were you?” Pollux asks when I open the door. Paola and Cade aren’t in the living room anymore, so I assume that they’re in the room. “Oh, I just wandered around,” I reveal. There’s no way that I’ll be able to tell them about my father. Goddess, I can hardly believe it myself. “But you’re feeling better?” he asks. “Yeah, way better,” I lie. I don’t feel better than I did earlier. In fact, I might be feeling worse. My father’s words are sinking in with quickness, and they’re blending in with Alec’s words. But how can I step away from all of this now? People are counting on me. Even Matte is deriving inspiration from this. What about what I believe in?I want to fight for this. I felt fulfilled. I understand that this is a movement that could change the lives of many people. I was happy doing it. I can’t and won’t change my mind just because people are telling me to. I still haven’t changed my mind. But maybe I have to sleep on it. Pollux leans against the door, gra
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 81: The Meetup
Alec Seeing Delaney makes my heart beat out of my fucking chest. She made it. She actually made it. The whole morning, I’ve been thinking about whether or not we should have made a better plan. How would she find her way to me when she could have ended up taking one of the hatches on the other side of the Underworld? She would’ve ended up on the other side of the city. But I trusted that she might show up here. Something stronger than me made me stay, and it’s times like these that make me realize that there’s a higher force guiding us all. We were meant to meet today. I’ve been thinking about last night nonstop. When we finally reach each other, her steps slow and so do mine. I keep my eyes on her face, though, taking in every little part of her. Her eyes. Her lips. Her nose. Everything. I commit it all to memory. “You made it,” I tell her.“Yeah,” she replies breathlessly. “It was by some miracle that I found this place.”Goddess knows how much I want to pull her close to me
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 82: Heartwarming Words
DelaneyThings escalate quickly after that. Before I know it, Alec is pressing his lips against mine and kissing me deeply. I feel each stroke of his tongue in my mouth in my core. Alec kisses me like I’m the music precious thing in the world to him. His kiss is hot and passionate, leaving me a little lightheaded because of all the oxygen it robs from my lungs. My fingers dig into his sides while he devours me with his mouth, and for a moment, I let go of all my worries. Everything that stresses me out is pushed to the back of my mind, and I prepare myself emotionally and physically for what will soon transpire between us. My core tightens with the anticipation. Alec breaks the kiss to peer into my eyes, and I swear that this is more sexy and intense than the kiss itself. He looks at me like he can’t believe I’m here. I stare back at him, drinking him in. “Beautiful,” he says before running his fingers down my face. “You’re beautiful, Waters.”“It’s Renner now,” I say, wanting to
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 83: The First Time
Delaney After I say the words, he and I share another heated kiss and this time, Alec climbs on top of me to kiss me even deeper than before. He leaves me breathless with his kisses while tears continue to run down my face. I can’t believe he told me he loved me, but what affected me so much weren’t the words, per se. It was the sincerity in his eyes. He spoke with an honesty I’ve never heard before. Not once. He loves me. Dammit, I think I love him, too. This feeling in my chest that keeps growing and expanding and taking up so much space inside of me has to be love. I think I’ve loved him from the moment we first shared a kiss right under this roof. Unfortunately, he burst the bubble for us both, drawing us back to reality, but that feeling lingered, that’s pretty evident. This feeling in my chest, it’s like a wild, blooming thing that refuses to be tamed. It grows and expands, stretching to fill every inch of me, until it feels like I might burst from it. It’s inescapable, thi
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 84: Cloud Nine
DelaneyAlec is looking through me, and the intensity of the moment has just escalated. My chest moves up and down with every breath I take. I’m beyond nervous to finish what we started yesterday, and deep inside of me, this anticipation is building. I crave his touch on my skin. I need him in ways I’ve never needed anyone before. I’m all but blind right now, and I can’t imagine that anything would interrupt this moment. His cock is semi hard, but it’s getting harder as he leans toward me and kisses the side of my neck. I arch against him, craving that sweet relief. We’re a tangle of limbs, and his skin tastes salty and so delightful. It’s an essence I’ll never forget. Even my wolf stirs at the moment, wanting to resurface.I’ve never felt anything quite like this. Very few words are exchanged between us. I part my legs even more, and he grabs the base of his cock and positions himself at my entrance. His eyes meet mine, and I’m not sure if he’s asking for reassurance, but I nod.
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 85: Stay
Delaney We lay in each other’s arms, and I have to say that I’ve never felt this peaceful in all my life. I’m filled to the brim with this feeling of security. This feels right—this whole thing. I don’t have any regrets. I’m not even thinking about what comes after this, which honestly should be something I should think about. But right now, I don’t want to over complicate anything. I feel Alec’s heartbeat steadily against my cheek. This is the first time that I’m not thinking about my father and the whole mess with Margaret since it happened, and whenever the thought enters my mind, it’s quickly pushed to the back of my mind. My wolf hasn’t felt this at peace in a very long time. Finally, he sighs and says, “I wish that it could always be like this.” “Me too,” I admit. “Stay with me, then,” he says before shifting so he can look at my face. I search his face, trying to understand how he can even be serious. I want to say yes—more than anything, I want to let my
