All Chapters of Luna of the Menae: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Before I go upstairs, I make a quick stop. “Cason, I know this is a lot. You okay?”“Alpha, this ain’t how I thought today would go when I woke up.” His eyes glance at me, but back to Les. “The Luna stopped her sister from rejecting me.”“Yeah, she told us.” I clap him on the shoulder. “If she’s anything like Leticia, she may have never had a mate before. Leticia told Kas she had never even had a boyfriend before Klay. Maybe Les is the same.”“A woman that beautiful?” He looks at her longingly. “There’s no way she’s been alone in her entire life. The Luna asked me to give her a chance. Back at my shop when I couldn’t move. I-I don’t know if she knew I could hear her.”I look back at Les holding Kas. “Do you want to give her a chance?”“I… I don’t want her to feel like I’m holding her back.” He mutters. “Imagine how big her world must be. I’m like a speck of nothing compared to everything she’s experienced, Alpha. I’m just a tattoo artist.”“You’re not just a tattoo artist, Cason. You’

“Of course not.” He rolls his eyes and shakes his head at me. “We were in Lechia… uh… Poland, I think it’s called now. We were trying to cut a deal with a powerful dark witch. She double crossed us. I got hit with a nasty spell that made me ill. We were trying to get away, but human hunters were scared of the giant wolves in the woods and mortally wound me. The only way to save my human spirit was to bring me here. Iokaste and I have more control over time in this place than we do on Earth. It gave her more time to heal me, but when I tried to go back to Earth, the old hag’s spell took effect again. It was magic that even Iokaste couldn’t reverse, so she brought me back.” “Mortally wounded, as in the end of your spirit’s journey?” I pay closer attention to his body posture. He seems at peace with the circumstances. “So if you leave, you die?” “Mmm.” He nods quickly. “It solved the problem of needing to have someone here for the Mavri Magea to come and go, but it took a toll on Róki.

“Alright, Reg. Regroup. What do we know?” I open a mindlink while we help get some of the slower elderly pack members into James’s truck so he can take them to the packhouse. “Cason and the Sentinel were frozen, but not time stuck frozen. Lady Camille confirmed it. I heard Aphrodite’s crackle sound when she touched the arrow on Cason, but it went away when she touched Les. The victims unfreeze and are in pain.”“So was Leticia, Kas, and Bronx, even though they weren’t originally frozen. Kas’s ear was bleeding from whatever was causing the pain. That would lead me to believe it has to do with the Menae.” He continues. “Kas saw the blood, and I assume fell into a vision, then disappeared with her sisters, Bronx, and Cason.”“Don’t Menae Leaders and Guardians woke up from a similar nightmare at the same time.” I add after Mister Swanson shakes my hand and thanks me for the help. Reggie and I sit on the edge of the truck bed when we have all the people we can hold.“Except for Dre. He’s n

Bronx’s POV“Come on, Tish. It’s your turn.” I pant while I kneel on the floor and rest my forearms on my knee. I watch blood drip heavily down my body onto the white carpet in deep crimson puddles.My mind is fuzzy, and it’s hard to keep my balance. Saint is fighting the battle against my injuries from the inside. It seems like a losing battle.“Bronx, no.” Leticia kneels in front of me and holds her hands up like she wants to touch me, but she doesn’t know where to put them. “I’m not leaving you or Kas here. Besides, you need time to recover first.”“Come on, Tish, we already agreed. You pulled the memory of the vision from Kas. You need to tell people what you saw.” I groan. “Kas and I can figure another way out once you’re through this portal. Let it close like we talked about earlier. Once it closes, she and I can wait for Saint to heal me.”“He’s right, darling.” I look up and blink blood out of my eyes. Through the pink haze, I see Kas put her hand on Leticia’s shoulder while s

Kas looks up at me as if she’s seeing me for the first time. I’m not talking about the scared girl who hid her abuse under a baseball cap, hoping no one would notice her hair turned silver and her eyes bright violet. Not the one who didn’t understand who she was or what her fate was meant to be.This is the woman who’s been going through the motions of life, trying to hide in plain sight. She does it lifetime over lifetime without fail. She’s the one who smiles for the entire world, but doesn’t truly let anyone see behind the facade she’s created for them. This woman’s love is fierce, but you don’t know that until it’s gone. And when it is, not even the strongest liquor can fill the emptiness it leaves in its wake. This woman has literally been to Hell and back. She has endured unthinkable atrocities to protect the ones she loves. The ones who need saved so much more than she ever has. Kas Latmus is the reason the Moon Goddess made me who I am. The reason Selene cut a deal with Perse
