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

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
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 86: Commitment
Alec The time that Delaney and I spend together comes to an end, like all good things. It physically hurts to watch her get dressed in the morning so I can drop her off near one of the entrances. I really wanted more than anything to be with her. One word from her would seal my fate forever. If she told me that she wanted to stay with me so we could run away together and start a new life elsewhere, then I would gladly go with her. That wasn't a lie. I want to be with her. I'm willing to fight for this. However, she has a duty to her people, one that I don't have toward my own pack, lamentably. It's admirable to see it in her, and I would never dream of trying to take her fighting spirit away from her. That only leaves one thing. I'll have to fight, too. I'll have to do whatever is possible to ensure that there's a place in the future for us. I’ll do whatever it takes, I realize, to make this work. Maybe I’ve lost my mind, but I don’t really care. I haven’t felt this alive in ye
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 87: Shattering Heart
Delaney As soon as I climb down the hatch, I know that something is horribly wrong.To start with, there’s smoke everywhere, so much of it that my eyes start to burn immediately, and the thickness of it hits the back of my throat when I inhale and makes me cough. Panic rises in me, reaching an all-time high. What is this? What’s happening? These are the questions that I’m asking myself because there’s no way that this is normal. I start toward the passageway, and find it by a miracle because of how difficult it is to see. I don’t see a single person around, and the closer toward the houses and the bar I get, the hotter it gets, too. Fire. There’s a fire. Many of the houses on either side of me are in flames, and I gasp, horrified. Goddess, what happened? “Hello!? Hello!? Is there anyone there!? Hello!?”Nobody. Nothing. I don’t receive a single answer. I use the hem of my shirt to cover my nose. I needed some water, but this will have to do. I start speeding up as I look around,
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 88: Lying For Survival
AlecAs soon as I open the hatch, smoke billows out of it, so thick that it threatens to choke me. Shit. I can’t believe this. My eyes are wide as I take in the scene in front of me. This can’t be happening. How? How did this happen!?I stand, contemplating my options. I didn’t even ask Carla what she meant; I just hung up the phone and came straight here. But Delaney supposedly went through this hatch, unless she saw the smoke and turned back. If that’s the case, where is she and how can I find her?I look around desperately as I weigh my options. The one thing that begs my attention is how on earth Carla managed to find out about all this. I stand back and run a hand down my hair as I stare at the hatch. When I think of climbing down the side ladder, a distant explosion that causes fumes to rise from the hatch is heard, and I stand back from it even further. Going down there would be suicidal, and I have to believe that Delaney would never go down there. She’s not there. I hav
Under the Shadow of the Moon Chapter 89: Comfort
Delaney We arrive at a very obscure, shady motel. Nobody goes to the reception, so I’m assuming that it’s not necessary. Pollux has the key to one of the very last rooms, so he opens it and we all slip inside. Cade carries Paola in, and immediately sets her down on one of the twin beds. I look around at the group, and run a hand down my hair. Guilt is an understatement. I’ve ruined everything. Everything. Once again. Now, we don’t have a home, and many of the rebels have been caught and taken to locations that we don’t know. We have no way of rescuing them. Matteo is also gone, and he hasn’t contacted us at all. It’s all a mess, and Cade says that he doubts we’ll be able to come back from this. Alec. I’ve been trying not to think about him, but it’s getting increasingly harder. Everything we went through felt so real. The way he touched me. The way we kissed. It was all out of a fairytale. It was magical. But he used me. For some reason, he used me. Distracted me, maybe. And th
