My apologies for being so late in updating. My father had a heart attack and injured his legs when he hit the ground. I have been staying with my mother to keep her company while he recovers in the hospital. Needless to say, it's a lot when you add all that to my personal medical issues. Regardless, I do hope you enjoyed this chapter and I promise I will try to update more frequently soon. I would love to read your comments.
Isaac laughed, “Calm down, my luna, we have a dress designer coming here tomorrow. She will be working solely on your dress until it’s done.” I sighed in relief, “Okay. That will work. Now, Alpha Kenny, I will take that laptop to Luna’s office. She and I will talk about how I want my office decorated, then I will work in there for the rest of the day.” Alpha asked, “When should we move out of the alpha apartment?” I answered, “You can stay there for good, if you want to. We will be living in my house. We will be able to draw clear lines between work and home. Plus, if we have more than a couple children, there is room on the property to add on.” Luna Kyra looked at Alpha Kenny and asked, “Why didn’t we do that?” Alpha Kenny replied, “I was always told that it was important for the Alpha to be available twenty-four hours.” Isaac answered, “I’ll still be available for emergencies. We just won’t be at the packhouse. We are only five houses down from the pack house. There is no need to
I asked, “Did she ask for me by name or title?” He answered, “She asked for the black wolf with the red eyes.” I nodded in acknowledgement, “Okay. We should get back to our house. First, I need to call on someone.” I whispered, “Winnie, I really need your help.” Winnie popped in and asked, “What’s up, hon?” I brought our scout to her and asked him to repeat what he told us. After the warrior was done reporting, Winnie scowled, “You all get back to the house. Make sure you have warriors sweep the house before you enter it.” When we started running again, she asked Isaac to stay. I kissed him gently and sighed, “Be safe, love. I can’t be without you now.” Isaac smiled, “I will. We shouldn’t be too long.” The ladies and I ran to the house, where Luna Kyra was waiting for us. I ran to her and hugged her, “Why can’t they just leave us alone?” Luna Kyra sighed as she returned my hug, “I know, sweetie. This whole thing is messed up. But the good news is if they are still asking for Onyx, t
I furrowed my brow, “Excuse me?” She gently slapped her forehead, “I am so sorry. I am Aamira. I am your dress designer.” I breathed a sigh of relief, “Oh goddess! You would not believe the morning we’ve had. Please come in.”After working with Aamira on the style, the fabric and the measurements, for the next four hours. By the time she finished sketching it, I was so excited, I almost screamed in joy. I gasped, “Aamira! The dress is stunning! I can’t wait to put it on.”Aamira smiled, “I am so happy you love it. I should have it done in only a couple of days. I will be back to do a fitting, then I will make the alterations and add the sequins and pearls.”Aamira left at the same time Isaac and Queen Winnie walked in and plopped down on the couch. Queen Winnie had scratches on her arms and face, but they weren’t deep. Isaac was fine, this time, but it made me wonder if he had some spare clothes in the dungeon.I asked, “How did it go?” Winnie started, “Oh it was great! I may look like
I sighed in relief when I saw the familiar smirk on the most beautiful face, “I’m so glad you heard me.” Selene giggled, “I am always listening for you, Zariah. What questions do you have for me?”I asked, “First of all, I really need to know how long we have until we are attacked by the dark witches?” She answered, “Right now, you have around one year… maybe two.” I asked, “So there is no chance that we will be attacked during our ascension ceremony?” Selene smiled, “I will make sure of it.”I smiled, “That’s all I need to know. Now I can relax and sleep. I just need to know if there is anything you need me to watch out for.” She answered, “Just be vigilant and do not take any food or drink that wasn’t specifically made for you. There are still some jealous alphas and she-wolves out there, but none are a threat to the pack.”I nodded thoughtfully, “Thank you so much for easing my mind. I can only hope I make you proud as a luna.” She smiled, “Oh dear, you already are. Putting your pac
After spending all day shopping for office furniture with Alpha Kenny, Luna Kyra and Isaac, we all decided to go out to eat. We found a Hibachi grill and we all went in. Luna Kyra wanted sushi while Alpha Kenny wanted oysters. Isaac and I wrinkled our noses at their orders and placed our orders with the waiter.As we ate and laughed for the next two hours, I noticed a man watching us closely. Every time I looked at him, I would see him turn his head away from us. I asked, “Do we have anyone in plain clothes working security for us?”Alpha Kenny asked, “Are you talking about the guy in the black t-shirt and the light blue jeans?” Isaac added, “Blue ball cap?” I nodded, “So you’re watching him too?” Isaac nodded and I saw Alpha Kenny’s eyes glaze over. Alpha Kenny asked, “Is everyone done eating?” I nodded, along with everyone else.We all stood when we watched two warriors approach the man and they walked out with him. I chuckled, “Am I crazy thinking that if there was ever a polite way
I furrowed my brow, “What do you mean?” She opened the box and I gasped at the necklace, bracelet and earrings set enclosed. The necklace was a large teardrop diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds. The chain was small diamonds, linked together.The bracelet was a strand of princess-cut diamonds with a strand of smaller diamonds above and below it. The earrings were teardrop diamonds with three small princess-cut diamonds hanging from them.I asked, “Do you know who the luna was or the pack?” She answered, “I’m assuming it was your great-grandmother. The one who was gifted, like you. We will have to ask Queen Winnie. She seems to know a lot about her.”I suggested, “We’ll have to reach out to her soon. I am so glad she’s coming to the ceremony. Having her there will help me feel a little safer. I’m good with all of my abilities, but I can’t put a protection spell on Isaac and myself.”When we left the bank, I asked, “Is there anything else my grandparents asked you to hold on to for me
The surgeon smiled, “She is going to be okay. Luckily, the knife wasn’t silver and he missed most of her major organs. She had a lot of blood in her abdomen because he managed to puncture her liver. We were able to stop the bleeding in that and found a small puncture in her good kidney. We were also able to fix that and everything looks good now.”I smiled, “That’s very good news. Is there any word on the warrior who was guarding her?” He nodded, “Yes. He was more seriously injured. He wasn’t stabbed, but his throat was cut. The good news is that his wolf had already healed the cut arteries, so the bleeding had stopped before he was even in surgery.”We all let out a breath in relief and I asked, “When will Elana be able to have visitors?” He answered, “It would probably be wise to let her rest tonight. She should be okay tomorrow.” I smiled, “Sounds good. Of course, Tayna will probably want to stay in her room with her again.”Tayna nodded, “Yes, please. She needs me as much as I need
“Thank you, Miss Franklin. I’ll tell mom you need to talk to her,” I assured as I walked out of the general store.Miss Franklin is the little grey-haired lady who owned the store. It was more than just a small grocery store to this little town. It was also the gas station, video rental, and a deli-style sandwich shop.Besides the bait shop and canoe rental next to the river two miles away, it was the only business in our town.Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas is a tiny town in neutral territory.It’s a town that has a great sense of community and it’s very close-knit.My parents always told me they didn’t like being in their old pack because the alpha didn’t pay the omegas for their work and treated them like dirt.They always told me that if I ever wanted to join a pack, make sure to ask if the omegas are paid.That was a good way to tell if it was a good pack.My parents were loving and doted on me, as the only child, but they never spoiled me.As unaffiliated wolves, they couldn’t afford
