All Chapters of The Broken Luna: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I stared at Ryne for quite some time in utter confusion. Why did he want to talk to me so badly? Better yet, why was he talking to me this way and acting like I was causing him pain? Well, there was only one way to find out. I was going to have to talk to him...against my mate's wishes. I knew if Tyga found out about any of this he would be furious with me and probably kill Ryne.I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, and then released it."Okay, Ryne, what do you need to talk to me about," I asked, sighing."Come into the woods so no one sees us," he said. I frowned."I am most certainly not going into the woods with you!" I huffed. Was this man truly ignorant? He must know that I'm aware he has some kind of affiliation with the rogues, yet he has the audacity to ask me to step into the woods, which my mate has forbid me from, with him?Ryne sighed and shook his head. "Fine, at least stay here in the garden," he requested. I nodded and impatiently waited for him to start talking."

After the formal part of the ceremony ended, it was time for the pack run. Everyone able to participate gathered outside of the pack house. The males separated into one group and the females into another. Tyga and I would lead both groups, the females following behind me and the males behind him. Olivia was directly behind me, since she was the Gamma female, and Griffin was directly behind Tyga.All of us shifted into our wolf forms, our nudity not being an issue in that moment. At the back of my mind, I worried about seeing Ryne in the crowd earlier. Was he among the pack for the run? My wolf forced these thoughts out of our head as we shifted. She was in control now, and she was determined to have a good run with her pack which she never experienced in our old mate and pack. Tyga and I looked at each other in our wolf forms. We stared for quite some time before Tyga started howling. I took this as my cue and began to howl with him. One by one, rank by rank, our pack howled with us.

Ryne probably mistook me as my sister. Well, I get that a lot to the point that I feel sick about it. Living in someone else’s shadows was like suffocating me, especially if that person was already dead. “The kids surely enjoyed the sightseeing,” Olivia said as Ben parked the car in front of Tyga's apartment. “They have never been to such places, Oli,” I replied and then looked at the two men sitting on the driver seat and passenger seat. “Ben, Aries, you two can go to bed. We’ll be fine here,” I commanded the two warriors who seemed to be exhausted. “Yes, Luna,” they both said and bowed before leaving. “Mommy, can we come back again tomorrow?” Eion said and smiled at me. “No, baby. We have already accumulated 3 days of vacation,” I replied and tickled him.Olivia and the kids were the first ones to enter the apartment as I was picking all the souvenirs that I bought for my kids. As I closed the van and about to turn my heel to the direction of the door, someone called my name.

I couldn't sleep. There was no use in trying. There was too much happening all at once. I was aware he was out there. Just outside my house keeping watch. I had to fight the urge to pull back the curtains and look out the window. The bond made my skin feel like a live wire. I wanted to scream. But I Tugabhas already overwritten it, but why do I still react with him?I was a whirlwind of emotions and my heart wouldn't stop racing, pounding in my head. It was galloping a mile per minute. Panic consumed me over what could happen to my Eion and Chea, over what could happen to us.Everything from the past to the present was reeling in my mind. It was everything that I had worked hard to put aside and ignore over the years. It was torture.When I had come back inside the house, trying to catch my breath, frustrated by it all, I had found Olivia waiting for me. I was angry and upset. Eion and Chea had a good life in Black Cerberus Pack and now I had to uproot them and introduce them to such

Oishin’s Point of view Seven years ago"I need the family ring."My mother looked astonished, fumbling for a second before placing the colorful display of sample sized desserts aside on the reflective kitchen surface next to the array quilts. She was hosting another luna gathering with the women this weekend, a quilt workshop and fundraising event. The gleaming marble countertop showed a reflection of her beautiful features."What?!" she gasped loudly, running around to my side of the counter in a light blue sundress. She couldn't believe she hadn't been let in on the secret. "Moon Goddess! This is very surprising, well who is it for?!" she smiled brightly, putting a hand on her chest.The very large diamond family ring has been passed down through generations of GreyHound Alphas. It weighed heavily on my mother's finger. It was time for it to be passed to the next. I now needed it to propose to her. I'd known since the moment I'd seen her that I was going to marry and mate her. I'd
