#Chapter 131: In the Temple of the Moon Goddess

Wendy ushered me into the elevator, waited for David, and then pushed the button for the lobby. “You absolutely need to attend to Theo,” she said. “You can’t let a tasty little piece of man like that sit all by himself.”“I already have somebody,” I pointed out. “And he’s got a girlfriend.”Wendy waved a dismissive hand. “Details,” she said. “Wait! That’s what you should do. You should fix dinner—”“Beans,” I reminded her, cutting her off before she really got going.“Oh. Right,” she said. “So, obviously, if we can’t grow coffee beans here, we’re importing all of the beans that we use for our coffee. I don’t think we’re having too much trouble with getting the beans from some of the nations, but there’s rumors that the vampire and the human coffee growers both have strong biases against werewolves.”She made a face. “Figures, the shifters don’t care, but the others do. Anyway, the beans coming in from the other countries are supposedly way more than the ones coming in from the shifter

#Chapter 132: I’ll Play With Sugar

Theo and I ended up playing card games with each other until Charles got home from work. It helped my heart and reaffirmed my belief in the goddess that Theo was healing quite quickly. Just like getting my cycle started, it seemed like the answers to my prayers were flowing in.Although, when I thought about it like that, I wished maybe I had prayed a little bigger. Maybe I could have prayed for the cornerstone of this whole corruption mess to just fall out into the open so that justice could be served. But I would take a reprieve from necessary conversations with Charles and Theo’s return to good health.Just after dinner, Charles predictably caught me up in his arms, making the request that we head for the bedroom.“I can’t,” I said.“Why not?” He looked disappointed.“It’s my time of the month.”“Oh.” Charles looked a little squeamish at my honesty.But admitting my circumstances was the fastest way to shut him down, and I didn’t have the energy to dance around sensitive subjects r

#Chapter 133: Success With the Editor

At work the next day, Wendy met us, getting off the elevators. She looked like she wanted to latch onto Theo and instead held herself back.“I’m so glad you’re feeling better,” she said, lowering her lashes at him more than a little suggestively.He smiled at her, ignoring her hints. “Glad to be back,” he said. “That was a nasty bout of whatever. I don’t look forward to doing anything like that again anytime soon.”I crossed my fingers and said a silent prayer to the goddess that I wouldn’t have to sacrifice him like that again. But the fact that he was always around me definitely made it more difficult.“So,” Wendy started, hooking her arms through mine and drawing me into the office. “Have you decided what you’re pitching this morning at the meeting? ““I have a couple of ideas,” I said.“Wanna share?” she asked.I shook my head. “Not a chance. Sorry, but I’m going to have to keep these secrets,” I pronounced.She eyed me. “Hard-hitting news already?” she asked, giving me a gentle e

#Chapter 134: Necessary Conversations

By the time I got home, I had a few appointments for interviews. And I had tried some of the best food I’d ever eaten for lunch and some absolutely amazing ice cream for an afternoon snack, thanks to recommendations of the individuals that I had interviewed.At dinner, Charles kept squirming like a squirrel who sees a cat. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore.“What is wrong with you?” I asked. “You’re acting like you’ve got prickles in your pants.”He laughed. “No prickles, just news.”“News?” I asked.“My mother is coming out to visit us.”“Well, that’s great. Wait. Why do you look so nervous?”“Because she’s not particularly happy with me. She wanted us to come back to Brindle Cove to spend the moon goddess festival with her. But I told her that with the bodyguards and everything, there was probably no way to make that happen.”He let out a sigh. “That’s when we decided that she would come out here. She’s going to try and get my sister and her family to come out as well.”“And you’r

#Chapter 135: What Are You Implying?

For the next four days, I tried to say something to Charles, but my attempts always seemed to get cut off by something else.One night, Charles got a phone call from his co-workers and came back beyond annoyed. Another night, someone in the building tripped the fire alarm, and we all ended up outside.All those feelings of being lucky and blessed that I found at the moon temple were quickly slipping away. We were inching closer to the moon festival and Gwen’s arrival, and I hadn’t had a chance to open the subjects that were most important to discuss between Charles and I before his mother got her hands on everything.Not that I would mind the wedding to Charles, but if Gwen was feeling the need for grandchildren, what if she talked Charles into it before I had a chance to talk to him? It would just make the conversation that much harder.Two of those four days Charles ended up out of town, making talking impossible. He had to leave to go take care of some things before the interviews

#Chapter 136: Apologies in the Night

A gentle touch woke me, and my heart skipped a beat. I rolled and found myself nose-to-nose with Charles.“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I didn’t handle last night very well.”Fresh tears leaked up and out. “I don’t think I did, either,” I said.He shook his head. “No. I shouldn’t have implied you cheated on me. You would never, and I know that.”My lower lip trembled. “And I could just as easily have said the words that you wanted to hear, that I didn’t cheat on you and never could. It just hurt that you would even go there.”He kissed my forehead and wiped my cheeks dry with his thumbs. “It was the middle of the night, and I was kind of shocked by your request. If I had been in a better frame of mind, I would have handled that much differently.”“I would still want to know why you need me to wear a condom, but I don’t think I would have let the accusation in. It was defensive and stupid of me. I’m sorry.”I grabbed his face and kissed him. “Forgiven. Because I love you.”“And I love yo

#Chapter 137: A Lunar Holiday

Charles woke me early, making sure that we used another of his new condoms before work. However this time, we focused on quick pleasure to connect, at least briefly, before we parted ways.I went out and did another interview with Theo tagging along. If he knew what had altered my mood, he didn’t bring it up, but he didn’t mention how happy he was to see me smiling again.My exuberance lasted all day, turning into pure joy when I came home and heard childlike voices through the door. Charles’s family had arrived.I hurried inside to find them all sitting around the living room with Charles, talking. Soren and Emily jumped up and ran to greet me, each giving me a quick hug.My heart fairly melted. This was what having a family was like. This is what I had missed out on my whole life. And when things were safe and my career was settled, this was what I wanted for Charles and me.I was so glad to have a partner who understood my need to wait. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if his mother pre

#Chapter 138: A Big Announcement

I took the plate to the door and knocked on it. David answered.I held the food up to him. “We’re really sorry that you’re missing the meal with your family just to keep an eye on things here, so we made dinner for you.”He sniffed the plate and grinned at me. “That is amazing. I was all prepared to make something from the freezer. I didn’t think I’d be able to get takeout on a night like tonight. Not from any place I want to eat at.”“I’m happy that we could do at least a little something for you,” I said. “I’d invite you out, but since we’ve got the entire extended family here, that would be a little awkward. I hope you don’t mind?”He shook his head. “It would be just as awkward for me as it would be for you guys. But that’s okay. I’m going to make a video phone call with my parents tonight. And maybe I’ll do that while they’re eating dinner and eat my plate with them. It’ll just be a different sort of family meal.”I reached out and gave his shoulder a little squeeze. “I’m really

#Chapter 139: Family Friction

Jennifer’s gaze was sympathetic. “I know we dropped a lot on without much warning. Although I think Mother had this discussion with Charles earlier this week.”“They did,” I said. “And Charles warned me she might bring up stuff like this. But this was just a shock to the system.”“You’re okay with all of it, right?”“W-well,” I stammered. “I don’t know.”“You do want to marry my brother. Don’t you?”“Of course,” I said with no hesitation at all.“And you intend on having his children, right?”I bit my lip.She tipped her head back in understanding. “So that’s where the hang-up is. You do know that he’s an alpha and if you intend on being his wife, you will eventually have to give him children?”“That’s just it,” I said. “Eventually.”“You’re in your late 20s. And Charles is the same age. How much more time can you afford to take? Even if the alpha thing wasn’t a factor.”I crossed my arms, resentful. “I can take as much time as I want.”“No, you can’t,” she said. “We’d all like to thi

#Chapter 140: Unwanted Expectations

Charles flopped down on his bed, letting his arm cover his face. I sat meekly on the other side, acutely aware that I was the one who had caused all of the tensions in his family.I didn’t like being a source of trouble, especially between family members. “Charles?” I started.He drew two deep breaths before removing his arm from his face and looking over at me. “I’m sorry, Elena.”“For what?” I asked.“That you had to see us argue.”“Then I have to be sorry, too. Because you are arguing over me.”“It’s not just you,” he said. “It would be any woman I was with seriously. And my mother did not heed my warning to just mind her own business.”He patted the bed beside him. “I want to know your heart,” he requested. “Don’t tell me what you think will spare my feelings. But I want to know how you truly feel about all of this.”The truth slammed against the inside of my ribs, making my heart beat faster, and it slammed the inside of my skull, giving me a headache. This truth is what I should
