All Chapters of Serving the Alpha at His Whim: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

                When Alrick got back into the cottage. The women appeared to be finished settling Kelly and Eddie in. Now, they chatted around a pot of tea. It became clear Eden directed the conversation. Jessie listened from her crouched position on the edge of the sofa. He felt the need to come in. Alrick offered her a polite escape by making excuses.                “Jessie, hon. I’m sorry, ladies. But are we done? If we are. Then we need to go. There’re things we need to deal with tonight. I’ve received updates on several ongoing things. We must make some decisions for tomorrow.” Jessie perked up at his words. Yes, he was saving her from something. He wasn’t sure what, though.                “Oh, I&rsq

   Jessie awoke feeling relaxed and warm. When did she fall asleep? She sat up and looked around her. She panicked at first. Jessie relaxed as she remembered the last night. They’d captured Kevin, and they’re safe from him. Alrick wanted to deal with issues that plagued her people. He expected her to help, but how did she do that?   The Luna, she wasn’t ready for being that. She knew nothing about being the Luna he expected. She needed education and would take years to get it. Gods, she would screw up her new life before it even started. She believed him now. The clothing in that enormous closet, he’d stopped lying to her, and he included her in his

Jessie followed Alrick to a small trailer. She figured it was an office. These endeavours needed organization for people’s safety. One of her grandfathers died in an accident. That accident happened in this mine. She felt confident in the knowledge the mine’s safe to enter.  Once inside, Jessie saw the crowded interior. Boxes, papers, computers, and what she assumed were maps. The walls appeared covered in maps and things. Jessie dismissed these things, knowing she’d find no meaning in them. She saw a grey-haired man standing behind a large table. He looked up when the door opened. He’d been in the mine earlier. The mine’s dust covered his clothing in patches. S

                A few last words, Ashley left with to search out Craig. She wasn’t happy. Ashley looked as if she were a cat who ate the cream. She’s planning something. This didn’t sit well with Jessie. Alrick appeared, unaware of the next issue with this woman.                “Bonnie. Are you alright?” Ashley finally left. Jessie stepped into the kitchen. She watched Bonnie. “Are you hurt?”                “You are such a dear. You’re sweet for asking, thank you. I’m not hurt. My nerves are just in top gear. Ashley overstepped her position. I think she believes if she acts as she believes a Luna acts like, then Alrick will change his mind on who his mate is. The woman is a fool. I swear

                Jessie’s consciousness slowly returned to her. The world around her looked different. Grey and hazy. She frowned, sat up on the bed. The voice called to her again. It wasn’t far from its sound. But the voice sounded off. Like it’d an echo somehow. Jessie climbed out of bed. She followed the noise out of the apartment. Jessie noticed the packhouse was silent. No one was about. She figured everyone must be sleeping.                Following the voice out through the kitchen. The night was dark. It’s unnaturally dark. There was no wind, nothing moved. It was like everything was dead. The mist was thicker outside, giving everything softened edges. Then it hit her.A quick lookup. Stars, but no moon. No moon meant she was in the Dream Realm. Her heart picked up its pace at this discover
