All Chapters of The Alpha and the Rental Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

[Apple]The alpha, placing his hand near the small of my back, guides me out onto the street. As we pass his car, he tilts his head, “Are you sure you don’t want to try that breakfast spot I mentioned? They’re right along the coast with a beautiful view of …”“No!” I cut him off short and he laughs at my outburst. Eventually, he notices me glaring and I have to look away from his smoldering gaze. Damn it, why is he so sexy? I twist the edges of my sweater trying to think about anything other than how hot I am under the collar after just a glance. “About what happened at the office...That was one of my more challenging moments,” he admits as he takes a small drink and then wrinkles his nose in disgust before setting it down next to me. “It was wrong of me to…approach you in that way without explaining what was happening. Did…Did Beta Forrester explain…” I nod my head and tell him about the conversations I had with both his beta and my friend Hazel. “It’s okay,” I try to smile,“I und

[Apple]Home."This card key, " Beta Rudy explained before leaving me alone to learn more about my new life, "Will allow you to access any room on any floor of the packhouse, except, of course, the Alpha's private bedroom." He then went on to explain that there are two doors to access the building, the one that leads to the main hall on the bottom floor, which he pointed out to me. It is painted blue and lies on the other side of this parking lot. "And this one," the door in front of me now painted red, "This one is for the Alpha and his family only. Even I'm not allowed on that floor without express advance permission.""This is the entrance I always recommend for you, Luna, since you do not have a scent of your own to announce your status," he put very delicately. "It wouldn't be safe for you to mingle with the other members of the pack without one of us with you." "I see," after my very brief solo encounters with wolves I don't need any more convincing. "But this key," he presse

[Sylvester][EARLIER TODAY] I didn’t expect to find her wet and almost naked in front of me. Apple. Sweet, juicy, Apple. She looks so delicious in that simple one-piece. I want to peel it off of her slowly, sampling her one bite at a time.“No sex,” I have to remind myself.“Can’t we taste her, just a little nibble,” Rufus pants in my mind and I have to brush the thought away. My wolf has a ravenous appetite, and lately, it has been for one very special redhead. She is still in her swimsuit when I enter the shower. She is so modest and a bit of a prude, but that is a pleasant change from the usual Lunas the agency sends me.I need to remember to have Rudy contact Rental Luna. She needs to have a file in their databank that looks official. Eventually, someone is going to go look into her background. I can’t have anyone suspect she is a human I found by mistake.Because if the truth came out, the Board would have reason to seize power and force me into decisions I do not want to mak

[Sylvester]As she takes his hand and they walk up the stairs together, my stomach sinks and my heart feels like it has stopped. As I move towards the car, my leaden legs resist moving away from the place where I held her in my arms, the smell of our mixed scents calming me, relaxing something deep within. “We need to go get her,” Rufus insists. “She needs us.” “Maybe she doesn’t” I push back, “Maybe we need her.”What is wrong with me? I’m acting like a fool pup sniffing around the skirts of his first she-wolf. The way I crave this human girl is not natural, and yet it feels like the most natural thing in the world. My phone rings. It’s the council. I don’t want to answer it, but I know that if I don’t they’ll make trouble for me one way or the other. “Hello, Alpha speaking,” I answer and regret my decision immediately as Beta-Emeritus Clancy berates me for my treatment of Alexis, who went straight to the council after our little discussion this afternoon. “The council demands yo

[Apple]The Alpha is looking at me like something sweet to eat and I find it very unnerving. As he approaches, I take an involuntary step backward and his eyes go from smoldering to sad in a blink. "You're hurt," his tone tells me that he knows that I'm not just hurt physically. Seeing him with that other Luna just reminds me of all the ways I'm inadequate. "Why are you here," I demand, angry that he'd follow me. Why does he care if I'm hurt or not? I'm nothing to him. "I was invited," he says nonchalantly as if the answer should be obvious. "No, I mean in this bathroom. It's a women's bathroom."He shrugs. "You are hurt. Besides, it's just you and me. I made sure to lock the door."He takes another step forward and my back hits the wall my heart beating rapidly. He could do whatever he wanted to me and nobody would know. I'm so insignificant, he could get rid of the body and it wouldn't matter."You shouldn't be here," I glare at his smug expression and his fancy suit. "Your date
