All Chapters of Luna On The Run!: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Luna Ariel's POV We drive our rental car to the park, which is not too far from the hotel. In our backpack we have a packed breakfast and a blanket to sit on in the forest. According to the online information we should be there in ten minutes. Clarita has certainly managed to pull me out of my misery, even Era is much calmer now. I can feel her moving more actively now as if she is looking forward to a wild run in the wilderness. It has been a long time since I have set her free. It is still early in the morning and as we drive toward our destination the cool wind blows in my face. My mood improves as the fresh air enters my system. We pass an area of businesses before entering a dense forest. "Now tell me exactly what is going on, Ariel. I am so dying to know all about it. I've finally met a real werewolf, I can't believe my luck. But first I want to hear your story." And then I tell her how overjoyed I was when I first met Gorgio. He had run up to

Alpha Gorgio's POV stillA few hours later I woke up well rested.I put on some sportswear and make my way down to the main floor. After a hearty dinner, I make a beeline for my office. As I walk in, I see Jace and Alvin having a heated discussion."What's up, man?" I ask them as I slump down on the sofa. Jace slides the laptop in my direction so I can see the screen. It's a video of Alexis being picked up by Alpha Zane at his pack airstrip and taken to the packhouse. With satisfaction I conclude that the witch has done a good job, the Alpha seems to be smitten with his 'mate'.Most disturbing of all, he later insists that she share his bed. This is so not done for me. I cannot sacrifice Alexis' virtue for the good of Ariel and myself, it is so wrong. As if she knew I was going to be pretty upset about this deal with the man, she also shows footage of them lying on the bed with their backs to each other. From the looks of it, the Alpha would rather have her close without touching than

Alpha Zane's POV NowMy gut tells me to keep an eye on Eric.Something is definitely going on with him and I think it has everything to do with Ariel. The way they interact is not normal. Ariel is hungry for his attention, always seeking his opinion, and she is too close to him for my liking. And the way he looks at her when he thinks no one is watching looks like a man in love. But his analysis of Ariel's behavior is what interests me now. Eric is right, there are some things about her that no one would expect in a mate. The fact that she is not attracted to me may have something to do with her bond with Gorgio. But she doesn't seem to tolerate me around her, often looks at me disapprovingly and never has intimate contact with me of her own accord. And then her ridiculous conditions. I almost feel like a clown, my pack is starting to get anxious about my inability to control my Luna. Of course, Midnight Moon senses through the pack bond that Ariel and I

Alpha Zane's POV stillA menacing roar emanates from deep in my throat.I can't believe what's unfolding right before my eyes. My mate glares angrily at my best friend and Beta, who turns to her with guilt written all over his face. Eric shoves the woman away, his eyes fixed on Ariel. It is as if he has been caught in the act by his girlfriend."What's going on here?" I demand to know, Claw shifting his glowing eyes from Ariel to Eric."Zane," Eric exhales, tearing his eyes away from Ariel. "I didn't know you were here with Ariel. Sybille and I were just talking, nothing more. I swear. Did I disturb you?" Why do I get the feeling he's apologizing to my friend instead of to me? "That's not what I meant. Why are you and my mate looking at each other like lovers? This is not the first time I have noticed it. Is there something I should know, Beta?" Eric runs a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated by the situation."I don't know what you are talking abou

Beta Eric's POV still"Alexis"With a jerk, she looks up from the book she is reading. A smile spreads across her face as she stands up. I walk towards her, my eyes fixed on her. God, she is so beautiful, how come I only noticed this now?"Alexis," I say again as I stop in front of her. " That is who you are. And not Ariel, Zane's mate." Her face falls in shock and her eyes go wide. A few times she tries to say something but fails. If necessary, I will not hesitate to be tough with her to get the truth. It is not just Zane's mating that is at stake here, my life is intertwined with this as well. I don't know how this will end, but I must separate the identities of Ariel and Alexis so Zane and I have a chance to claim our mate.Moon Goddess, please, I want this woman. She is underage now, I will have to wait to claim her. But I must let Zane know that she is not his mate before I can move on with her."You know that!" she sighs and takes a step closer to me.She looks at me pleadingly.
