All Chapters of The Alpha and the Rental Luna: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

[Apple]When my eyes open, I am staring into a dark room. I must have fallen asleep at some point because Sylvester is wrapped around me, his body pressed into my back. Our bed is warm and rich with the smell of us. "Good Morning, My Queen," he kisses my neck. "Are you ready to meet your people?""Can't we stay like this a little bit longer?" I roll over into his arms, kissing his nose. His smile tickles my cheeks as his unshaven face touches me lightly. "A little bit, but then we need to go and greet our beta and your best friend," he kisses my chin, and then my cheek, and the space just beneath it on my neck. "And then our supporters. I intend to show you off today. I want everyone to fall as deeply in love with you as I am." "Oh," I giggle as his trail of love continues down my neck. "I thought you wanted me all to yourself." His hands roll down the sides of my body possessively, stopping at my hips, his fingers framing my waist as he pulls me into him, aligning our fronts. His

[Sylvester]Glasses shatter, and the table falls over as I jump to my feet. My heart races and my mind pulls in all directions as I struggle to reconnect and find that missing part of me. She isn't dead. I'd know if she were. The feeling would be deeper than silence, all-encompassing hollowness. But something isn't right.Apple. Something has happened to Apple.A wave of numbness washes over me, starting with my heart and extending out in each direction. The room is suddenly quiet, too quiet. My mind is quiet as well, which scares me. Since finding my mate my mind has been full of her thoughts and feelings, and the gentle understanding that she is nearby, waiting.I can feel none of those things now. My mind is woefully, terrifyingly blank. Rufus' howls reverberate with the empty chamber of my mind, hurt by the sudden loss. Our connection hasn't been completely severed but is no longer accessible. Something powerful is blocking us from finding one another without killing one of us

[Apple] It is impossible for me to know how much time has passed with my eyes covered and my body falling in and out of consciousness. Riding in the back of this van, I don’t even have the feeling of sunlight on my face to give me a clue. It’s like living in a void. And impossible, neverending nothingness. I can hear the bustling sounds of Moon River City surrounding us, so wherever we are, it's still within their borders. I'm not surprised. There is no way that Sly would have let me leave. Now that he is the Alpha King, he has the power to shut the city down. "He'll find me," I try to convince myself. "It's only a matter of time." But how much more time do I have? Minutes? Moments? Seconds? My mind wanders back to this morning, the smell of my mate as he wraps his arms around me, the feeling of his release as he comes undone, his eyes glowing with love."Please let him find me again," I beg the Moon Goddess and whatever other deities might be listening. Reality slams into me wi

[Sylvester] "I have two requests." The room is silent, the sound of our collective breathing and the dull hum of our beating hearts almost too loud in the cavernous chamber. I am standing before the most powerful wolves on the continent and asking them for a favor to save the love of my life. She is out there, somewhere, lost in this massive labyrinth of a city. There are so many layers and nooks and crannies where a person could be spirited away that even with the full power of Moon River City's wolves at my beck and call, I can't find her on my own. I hate to ask for assistance, but I don't have a choice. If I want to hold my family in my arms again, I will need help. "My Luna, my mate, has been kidnapped," I pause, letting my words fall around my captive audience like rain. "She is currently 2 months pregnant with our first child, my heir." A few bodies stir. They are all alphas here. They know what it means to fear not only for your mate but for your legacy. I have never

[Sylvester]The pack elders and alphas have been locked in the chamber, voting about my fate, for over an hour. My hands are sweating. If anyone finds out that I bound myself to those two witches, it will all be over before it starts, but I can't risk my family again. Never again. I've already lost two families before this one--first my mother and father, then my adopted father Lysander--Sandy. I miss him. I wish I could remember the name of his mate. She had been beautiful, her hair long and red, her eyes bright green like leaves. I can't remember much else about her except that she had been kind, pure, and sweet--not unlike my Apple. No wonder Sandy had been over the moon about her. The doors open and a flood of wolves in various states of agitation scatter in various directions. A few make eye contact, but most seem to be avoiding my gaze. Elder Harrison, the powerful elder alpha, came to me and let me know that they are deadlocked, unable to come to a firm and final decision on
