The Alpha's Stolen Luna
After being sent to work for the Alpha of the Dawn Stalker pack, Sutton was given to the pack's brutal Beta as his mate. After killing him in self-defense, she escapes her abusive mate only to find herself in the hands of another Alpha. An Alpha with a reputation more ruthless than the Dawn Stalkers who also wants to claim her as his. With the wounds of her last mate freshly covering old scars, she is reluctant to trust his intentions and fights to keep her newly earned freedom. Lucas, Alpha of the Ironpaw Pack, comes face to face with his fated mate — battered, bloody, and close to death. While treating her injuries, he can tell she's not a typical lycan. In fact, she insists that she isn't a lycan at all, only a meer human. But Lucas and his wolf don't believe that. As they get to know each other, Lucas becomes more and more convinced whatever has kept Sutton from finding her wolf is linked to her family's mysterious past. Before they can get answers, Lucas must protect Sutton from her previous pack. While Sutton believes Alpha Anders is coming after her as revenge for murdering his Beta, Lucas thinks his interest stems from something else. Does Alpha Anders suspect there is more to Sutton than your typical human? What is so special that he would risk a war over her? Can Sutton accept Lucas as her mate and find her wolf before it's too late?

Chapter: Chapter 399: LucasI was quiet as I followed Hank and Raphe through the campus. Keeping Sutton close and my focus on our surroundings. Rhonen was surprisingly calm himself, even though I could still feel his anxiety over not being able to sense Nova either. Neither of us had a good feeling about where the night was going. Whether we succeeded or not, I wondered if we would ever see the event as a victory.I also didn’t like the change I’d seen in Raphe over the past few minutes. Ever since he realized we could be experiencing a blood moon, his demeanor had changed. He was raised to take the throne. He had spent the last week preparing himself to take it from his own father. But would he betray Sutton to keep it?I forced myself to keep my mind on that possibility. I couldn’t think about what it would mean if she did end up taking the crown. I couldn’t think about how she would flourish. I couldn’t think about how she was meant for that kind of greatness. I couldn’t think about how quickly I would be lef

Chapter: Chapter 398: Sutton“We don’t know that for sure,” Soloman argued again. “The last person to see the rising blood moon was the queen mother. It was her son who took the throne. From what we know, those who see it are almost always she-wolves. This could just mean your victory as much as hers.”A lot of voices started to speak at once. The weight in my gut sank even further as I understood that Lucas suspected the same thing. That’s why he seemed so defeated. He didn’t want to rule. He never did. My chest felt tight. A new fear crept in.Would he leave me?“Enough,” I burst out, quieting everyone. “I don’t care what some dusty old books say. I don’t want the crown. And no moon or goddess can make me take it. That has never been what this was about. That was never the plan. If we win, Raphe takes the throne. What I want to know is why you think this means we’re running out of time?”Raphe was silent. From the way he was fisting his hands, I suspected he couldn’t answer me. At least not in a way that would

Chapter: Chapter 397: Sutton“An omen? What kind of omen?” I asked.“For us… a good one,” Soloman said. “Most likely.”“You don’t know that,” Lucas argued.“You better hope it’s a good omen,” Raphe said. “Now, let’s go. We don’t have much time.”“We’re not going anywhere until we know what we’re rushing into,” Lucas snapped, stepping in front of Raphe. “Whatever it is you think that moon means, it’s not enough to excuse recklessness. Besides, Sutton deserves an explanation.” They squared off against each other for a moment. Locking eyes as they both refused to back down. “Don’t be a fool.”Raphe growled, but took a step back.“We need to get eyes inside,” Raphe stated, returning to our original plan.“Hunter,” Lucas said. “Go.”“There’s a tunnel entrance in the next building,” Hank offered. “I can take you there.”“No need,” Hunter said. “I have my own way in.”He didn’t wait to explain. Just slipped into the shadows and was gone. Proving exactly why he was the man for the job. There was a distant bang and the so

Chapter: Chapter 395: Sutton“Okay, everyone, we’re coming up on the crossing point,” Hank said through the radio. “Those compartments aren’t soundproof. So stay quiet and stay still.”I felt the RV slow to a stop. My heart started to race. I swallowed against the nerves. My mind started to race through everything that could happen. Wondering how bad it could be if we were caught. Wondering if we should have just had Raphe command them. Wondering if he would be strong enough to if it came to that.We could hear muffled voices coming from outside. The radio was turned down low. The conversation was barely audible but we could just make it out.“You know who I am, Stoat,” he said. “I told you. Things are crazy out in the pack territories right now. All I want to do is get my family to safety within the capital. You know the king would allow it.”“Then you should call him,” another male voice said. “I thought I was letting you in the city to do a job.”“The king is a bit hard to get ahold of at the moment. I’m sure

Chapter: Chapter 394: SuttonWe stopped about five minutes from where Hank’s contact said to meet. The RV was spacious enough for a family vacation. But for our group tonight, it was a bit crowded. I wasn’t sure how we were going to hide the four of us well enough to pass a search. Even a cursory one.“Alright,” Hank said, waving toward me and Lucas. “You two come with me. Lyla, will you take the Prince and Councilman, please?”Lyla nodded and waved for Raphe and Soloman to go with her. Lucas and I followed Hank toward the back of the vehicle, moving single file with Lucas behind me. Hank stepped through the narrow doorway into the bedroom. In one swift motion, he lifted the bed, revealing an enclosed storage space beneath it.“I had them clear this out,” Hank explained. “It won’t be the most comfortable, but it will be safe enough.”“There’s not much room in there,” I commented. “Only two of us will fit.”“We have a similar storage space underneath,” Hank said. “Again, not the most glamorous way to travel, but i

Chapter: Chapter 393: LucasIt was hours before we reached our destination. It was after midnight and we were only a few miles away from the border of the capital territory. So, we were all a bit on edge. Knowing that there were likely patrols in the area. Hank had been keeping details of where we were going close to the vest. I had a feeling it was because I wasn’t going to like what he had planned, but I still wasn’t getting any feeling that we shouldn’t trust him. So, I didn’t push the subject.Needless to say, I started to question things when we pulled into a storage yard. Hank pulled up to a gate and rolled down his window. He pressed a code into a keypad and the flimsy metal gate opened. He pulled into the dimly lit lot. I was paying full attention to our surroundings. Feeling uncomfortable with the dark spaces between the boats and RVs that lined the lane. Hank took us to the back of the lot. I was expecting it to get darker but there were lights up ahead.And movement.I moved to the edge of the seat. M

Chapter: Chapter 167: SawyerI pet Arlo’s head as I sat outside the café near the house. I was waiting for Sylvia to join me. It felt a little strange knowing that her husband was sitting two tables away just watching me, but he insisted that it would be unprofessional to join us while he was working. So, I settled for getting him a coffee while he watched Arlo for me.“Sawyer…?”I turned to see Sylvia come from the direction of the parking lot. I got to my feet and greeted her with a somewhat nervous hug. I still wasn’t sure how this situation was going to go. Her relationship with her family was a lot different than mine. It was hard not to feel some guilt.“So, how are you settling in?” I asked as we settled back down at the table.“Honestly, really well,” she replied with a genuine smile, letting Arlo sniff her hand. “I’ve been wondering why we didn’t do this sooner. You’re looking great. At least since the last time I saw you.”“Yeah, I would hope,” I said with a light smile. “It seems we’re both taking to t

Chapter: Chapter 166: SawyerChristina and I laughed as we sat on the back porch and drank cocktails. It was a hot evening but I didn’t care. I wanted to admire the work that I had put in over the past two days already. I had genuinely been disappointed when the board fired me. Especially since I knew how much it meant to Sylas to have me working with him. But after a day or so, my disappointment faded. There just seemed to be so much else I could be doing.“So, where is Darla?” I asked. “What is this job you said she was working on that she couldn’t step away to come over tonight?”“Oh, yeah, well, it’s not a design job, actually,” Christina said. “She’s dancing tonight.”“Dancing? What? I thought she didn’t need to go back to stripping?” I asked.“She doesn’t,” Chris said with a shrug. “She said she missed the workout. Apparently, I do too good a job taking care of her. She’s gained five pounds and she thinks she’s letting herself go. It’s ridiculous.”“She could just join a gym,” I replied with a laugh.“But wh

Chapter: Chapter 165: SylasEveryone started to stand from the conference table. They shook hands and murmured their goodbyes to each other, but they were smart enough to stay well clear of me. I had no intention of pretending to be content with this decision. But Sawyer seemed fine with it. So, that saved them from any repercussions from me for the time being.Out of respect, Sawyer stood by her chair. Letting the rest of the board leave before her. Just as Rick came up next to me, I saw Bella approach her. I tensed.“Try not to take it personally, Sawyer,” Bella told her. “This really only applies to any role requiring a security clearance. I would hate to think you felt like you weren’t welcome within the company in any capacity.” She reached into her bag and pulled out some paper. “In fact, I’ve taken the liberty to put together a few applications for you. They’re for some entry-level positions. You know, something more appropriate to your experience.”My hands fisted. She was trying to humiliate Sawyer even

Chapter: Chapter 164: SawyerI started to panic as we got closer to the conference room. I was terrified they would know what we’d just done in his office. Sylas and I knew what happened only showed how strong our relationship was, but I knew the people in that conference room would take the wrong way entirely. How could they not?I shook off the thoughts. How could they know? It would be fine. Everything would be fine.I took the seat at the end of the table. Feeling every eye in the room on me. Sylas moved to stand against the wall. Giving the board members enough space to feel they could converse but still making sure they knew he was there and he would have a say.Holding my head high, I looked around at each of the familiar faces. For the most part, I had only met them the one time at dinner when Sylas announced he would accept the EPA contract. Rick was there, of course. He gave me a supportive smile and nod. But he was the only one that didn’t have me worried. Especially once I saw the smug look on Bella’s

Chapter: Chapter 163: SawyerSylas was not happy about my suggestion but I felt like it was the best solution. This would give me the opportunity to defend myself. However, I was a bit surprised at how fast Eric jumped at the idea. And how quickly he managed to arrange the meeting.“They want to catch you off guard,” Sylas said bitterly, pacing his office that evening. “They don’t want to give you time to prepare a lie.”“Well, I had no intention of lying, so that doesn’t really matter,” I told him calmly.“I know you weren’t. That’s not the point,” he stated. “You shouldn’t have to do this in the first place.”“Why not?” I asked honestly. “You gave me a job, Sylas. Anyone else would have to interview, have a background check, and go through all the other avenues to make sure they were a good candidate. I know it’s your company, but they have a vested interest in it.”“And they should trust me to protect that interest,” he replied angrily. “They have for all these years before. Why question now?”He needed to rel

Chapter: Chapter 162: SawyerAs I entered the office, I found Sylas at his desk, brooding over some papers in front of him. He looked tired. Run-down even. Enough that I paused for a second. I’d never seen him like this. Not even this morning when I knew he wasn’t looking forward to dealing with the aftermath, despite his assurances. My heart ached as I realized I hadn’t really done much to take care of him through this.In fact, I’d been a little distant, considering.When he was first released, we let ourselves get distracted by the heat and passion that was always there between us. Somewhere under the surface whenever we were close. But when we came back to the real world, something seemed off. I felt like he wasn’t being honest with me about the seriousness of the situation.Then he left to work last night, which had taken me completely by surprise. It felt like he was avoiding me. That, of course, stirred my insecurities. When the hour stretched into several, I’d started to think he was rethinking our engagem

Chapter: Chapter 47: FerrinI was beyond ready to get this day over with. Willa had definitely given me an effective reminder to ensure everything went smoothly this evening. Not that she needed to, but I was going to do anything but complain.But it wasn’t just our sexual encounter that had me determined to make sure everything went according to plan tonight. It was her attitude. She had taken the disruptions in stride, even making light of the situation. But I hated that she was already getting used to them and that she was already feeling like I wasn’t around enough.As king of the lycans, there would be times when there would be no avoiding those circumstances. But for her to have to accept them so early in our relationship was unacceptable. She deserved my full attention and as much of it as I could possibly give. The only reason I hadn’t blocked everyone this morning was because of the event. We had too many nobles and council members still arriving, and those already here would be milling around the castl

Chapter: Chapter 46: WillaFerrin wasn’t kidding when he said he was tired. As soon as we were under the covers and curled up against each other, he was dead asleep. I lay awake for a little while, just listening to him breathe while I contemplated the next couple of days. I tried to run through any of the names and faces that I remembered from my morning with Rebekah, but lying there next to Ferrin kept my mind wondering what would happen after the dinner.We thought these few days would have been a bit easier on us both. There were fewer secrets and less sneaking around. Ferrin, Rebekah, and Shawn all confirmed that everyone seemed to buy our ruse. There were no hints of rumors that we had met any other way. And for the most part, they had not heard of any direct disapproval of a rogue werewolf being the king’s mate. That didn’t mean they would accept me, but at least there wasn’t open discontent.However, with all of that, the other obstacles we faced seemed to pile on tenfold. With the added stress, Ferrin

Chapter: Chapter 45: FerrinSomething was really bothering her. And it wasn’t the same anger or disappointment I had felt from her the night before.No, she seemed… nervous around me. Almost scared.I had never seen Willa be timid. I didn’t think she even had it in her.But whatever was causing these feelings, they were only directed at me. She had acted normally toward Rebekah and warmly toward Henry and the kids. She was a picture of sweetness and belonging.My gut clenched, imagining what could possibly have her acting so distant from me. I hated this. I needed to be close to her more than ever right now, and this is when she decided to avoid me. Frustration and even a little anger started to creep up on me. I went to the office there in my apartment and found the carafe of bourbon. I poured a glass and took a few minutes to drink it before I went back to Willa’s room.I gently turned the knob. Opening it, I found Willa standing in front of the full-length mirror in the corner of the room. I could see her fac

Chapter: Chapter 44: FerrinI didn’t sleep much longer after Willa left. The unease and anxiety that had been growing through the night had quickly seeped back into my bones. They had lessened for those few short hours I was able to hold her. But when she left, it was like a premonition of what would happen if I screwed everything up — if I made the wrong decision.We had gone through every single detail in Billy’s file that night. Scouring over every piece of information. We had relied heavily on Dante’s expertise, hoping he could shed better light on what we were looking over. With each passing hour, his thoughts were following the same path as Willa’s father’s. And with each passing hour, my mood soured even more. By two in the morning, Dante was so suspicious of what was going on that Damen insisted I fill him in on everything.I had reluctantly complied at the time, but Dante said this information did fill in a lot of gaps in the information. He went over everything again once he knew more of what we were l

Chapter: Chapter 43: WillaRebekah was right about the gazebo being a good place to escape and get some privacy away from the castle. We spent a couple hours sitting there while she told me about the people I would be meeting at my introduction dinner. She pulled up pictures from her phone to help me recognize them. By the time we were done, she had gone through over forty people of various importance, and I was feeling a little overwhelmed. But I also felt more confident about the upcoming ordeal.We decided to move on so that she could show me around the grounds a little bit more before we had to meet her family when they arrived. We were walking along the hedges when she asked me what I planned to wear to the dinner. I froze up when she asked.“Crap,” I said. “I actually have to think about that, don’t I?”She laughed softly at my mortified expression. “It’s okay. I would love to help you get ready.”“Okay,” I said with a grateful sigh of relief.“Don’t worry,” she said. “You’ll do just fine. And I highly do

Chapter: Chapter 42: WillaI was really getting tired of having to hide in rooms whenever Ferrin was acting like a jerk. I didn’t regret my decision to stay with him, but all this was becoming a bit suffocating. I couldn’t handle it if Ferrin suddenly started keeping things from me.I paced around the room for a while before I changed into my pajamas and tried to go to sleep. But I only ended up tossing and turning for a couple of hours. Finally, I let out a frustrated huff and threw the blankets off of me. I was still frustrated with Ferrin, and I was mad that I missed him, but I was also worried. It was the kind of worry that just sat in the peripheral. You know it’s there, but you just don’t know why.But then again, we both had a lot to worry about right now. So, I was probably just overreacting.I climbed out of bed and made my way through the joining bathroom and through to Ferrin’s bedroom. I paused a moment to breathe in his scent, which was all over the place. I quickly started to relax. I crawled unde
