All Chapters of The Alpha and the Rental Luna: Chapter 71 - Chapter 78

[Apple] Sly looks at the two of them and his lips twist sardonically as he chews on his next comment, as if tasting it before spiting it at their feet. "Rodrigo, I see retirement is suiting you well," Sly snarls, his smirk growing as he notices the elderly alpha's discomfort. The old wolf growls, snapping his teeth. "Mind your manners and watch your tongue, pup. I'm ten times the alpha you'll ever be." He straightens up and I can imagine the strong Alpha he was once. He has the same charisma and aura of power that Sly has, and the remains of black in his wavy hair give him almost an uncanny resemblance. "Well, it's a good thing this isn't a competition then," Sly laughs harshly, the sound like glass crunching underfoot. "Because I'd hate to disrespect my elders." Sly turns his head and gives an appraising look at Alexis, studying her from her tall spiked heels to her tight dress and gaudy diamonds. Sly laughs as he takes my hand and kisses it. "I have a real treasure, Rodrigo.

[Apple]"I don't remember my father," Sylvester begins. "I don't even remember his scent anymore. I was very young when my mother and I were forced from our home. I remember feeling confused, and scared, but I can't remember much about him except that he was tall and cast a deep shadow.""One day he sent my mother and I off on a trip. We were to stay at a little cottage until he collected us. Days passed and nothing changed. Then weeks. Eventually, someone came by, but it was only to deliver money, food, and apologies. He was keeping us for some reason," he shrugs. "Probably waiting to see if his True Luna gave him an heir. I'll never know," he sighs, "I can't ask my mom. She's gone. I don't even have a grave to visit. I don't know where Alpha Greystone put the bodies of rogues.""I met your father the same day I lost my mother. Back then, Alpha Greystone would do sweeping raids of rogue encampments, killing any who were not willing to join the Silver Crescent pack. He showed zero mer

[Apple]"Are you sure about this," I look down at Sly who is looking up at me, his beautiful blue eyes pleading for me to accept him. "I'm already your Luna. Do you really want to marry me? For me to be your Queen?""You are the only one I want, Apple. Now and forever," I feel the truth in his words all the way to my soul as his sincerity travels through our bond. "Before I met you, I thought I never wanted to be bound to another, but I already am bound to you. I always have been."He's so afraid. But I can feel he is also determined to take this path, to be brave enough for both of us."As for becoming my Queen, it is only natural since I'll be taking my place as Alpha King," his cheeks are flushed. There is more to this decision than he is telling me. "Please, Apple. Say you'll be my wife.""Yes, Sylvester," his grin widens as he raises to kiss me almost knocking me over with the force of his enthusiasm. "I'll marry you and I'll stay with you for as long as I live. If that means I ha

[Apple]The sparkling wine dripping down the front of my dress sends a shiver through my body as I struggle to retain my composure. The poor wolf holding the tray of wine must be even more frightened than I am. Looking back, I see my handsome husband reaching down to help her.Sly has such a kind heart. He might be a mighty alpha--a king of alphas now--but his heart remains the same. He doesn't care about rank, or title, or where a person comes from. He sees the virtue of their actions and lets that guide his decisions.He was afraid that becoming king would be a sacrifice. Perhaps he can use his new title to extend his values and establish his idea of how the pack should be run.Sly wouldn't have needed to place that ad for a Rental Luna if he had just claimed the throne."But then we wouldn't have met," Aspen reminds me. "We would have grown old without knowing his kisses. He would have been safe, but would any of us have been happy? Much like the moon itself, the Goddess works in my
