Laura POV
I leave the house early in the morning. Luther is still asleep when I sneak out of the house. I run to the woods and cross into the fairy tribe lands, hoping I get to my mother before Luther wakes up. I run as fast as I can home. When I finally make it to my home, I run into the house, close the door quietly and run up the stairs to my room.My mother comes into my bedroom as I sit on my bed crying and sorting through my feelings. "Come to collect your things?" she asks me."Yes, I guess. I am not sure why I came here. I needed to talk to my mother, I think," I answer her.My mother sits beside me on the bed. "We have decided it is best we do not tell the tribe just yet. Your father and I want to wait just a little while. Your love for the wolf will still be a secret, for now, I am sorry, but it is what is best for now," my mother says.I shake my head and begin to cry. I lay my head on my mother. "I hope I have not made a mistake, mother," I say to her.My mother grabs my shoulders. "Look at me. Do you love him?" she asks me."Yes, I love him very much," I answer her."Then take your things and go make it work. When the time is right, you and Luther will come here, and we will tell the fairies, okay. For now, it is not the best idea. A lot is going on here, and we do not need anyone trying to take your crown," my mother says to me."Luther will never want to rule this land," I say to her."No, but you might. This tribe belongs to you, you will be the queen someday, and I do not want a wolf to cause you to lose that, so for now, we will keep this love affair quiet," my mother says to me."Luther is so sweet, but last night he was just a beast," I say.My mother gets up from the bed and starts helping me pack my things. "He is a wolf; of course, he is a beast. You come from royalty, and you married a dog. What did you expect, Laura?" My mother asks me."I expected him to love me and respect me," I answer her."A wolf pack does not work that way. You are his now, and you will have to earn his respect. Love is one thing, order in a pack is an entirely different animal. A wolf pack is a well-oiled machine, and they run properly when everyone knows their place. You have to know yours, Laura," my mother says to me."I understand; I only wish he would have explained this to me instead of being such a beast," I say to her."Again, Laura, he is a beast; think about it," she says.We continue packing my things. One of the house fairies comes up the stairs and into my room. He is nervous and looks terrified."My queen, there is a wolf here to see Laura," he says nervously."Show him in, please," my mother says.The house fairy brings Luther up to my room. He looks upset. He runs to me and takes me in his arms. "I thought you left me," he says so tenderly. I lay my head on his chest to comfort him. I did not think he would care if I left him and never come back after last night."No, I came to collect my things from the house; I did not want to disturb you, that is all," I say to him. I touch his sweet face. He is so upset."My queen," Luther says to my mother. He takes her hand and kisses her hand."I will leave the two of you to talk; I love you, sweetie," she says as she kisses me on the cheek. Her hand brushes across Luther's shoulder, and she pats him on the back as she leaves the room so Luther and I can pack my things.I sit down on the side of the bed. I start crying, and I cannot stop. Luther rushes to me. "I am sorry, Laura, please forgive me," Luther says to me. I want to forgive and put this behind me."Listen to me, Luther, I understand how important pack order is to you, but here the men and women are equal. I know you are the Alpha, and I know you are my husband, and I promise always to respect you, but you must understand that there is no need to try to force me into a pack order or put me in my place. All you have to do is talk to me," I say to him.Luther lays his hand in my lap. I rub his head and try to stop crying. "Are you coming back with me?" Luther asks me."Yes, I only need my things. I have nothing at your house," I say."Our home, it is your home too. Mother and father are moving into a cabin today. The home is ours now. I want a life with you, Laura," Luther says to me."Can you help me with my things?" I ask him."Yes, my lady, I can do that for you," Luther says.I pack the last few things I need. "You are going to need more clothes and shoes. As Luna of a wolf pack, these fancy dresses and heels are not going to get much use," Luther says."This is all I have. What will I need?" I ask him."You do not have jeans or boots?" he asks me with a smile."I have never worn jeans a day in my life or boots, No. I cannot do that," I answer him.Luther smiles. "Well, I think it is time you did, my princess," Luther says."Okay, I can try that, Alpha, but I am still bringing my dresses and my heels," I say to him.Luther pulls me close to him and kisses me. Luther like this, the Luther I love. Why can he not be like this all the time? Luther grabs my bags, and we go down the stairs.We exit the house to leave. I do not see my mother or father when I leave. I look around at my home, and a sudden sadness overwhelms me. I love my home here. I look at Luther, but I love him more. I did not realize that saying goodbye to my home and being with him would be this hard for me.Luther puts my things into his truck. He opens the door, and I get into the truck. He cranks the truck, and we begin our drive back to his pack. "How did the tribe take it when your parents told them?" Luther asks me as he drives."They do not know yet. Our union will be a secret for just a little while longer," I say."Why?" he asks."To secure my crown, my mother did not go into a lot of details, but she said some things were going on. I know this is not what you want to hear, but we will tell the tribe soon," I say to him.Luther reaches across and pulls me closer to him. I sit right next to him. "I understand, princess," he says. He kisses my forehead and holds me as he drives.When we get back to the house, his mother is on the porch with her hands crossed and looks pissed off. "Did you explain to her Luther that the Luna cannot just run off whenever she likes, that we need to know where she is at all times," Selene growls at Luther? She looks at me, and she is pissed off at me.Selen points her finger in my face. "Where were you?" she screams at me."That is your Luna, mother. Show her respect," Luther growls at her."She needs to learn her place. Obviously, you have not put her in her place yet, son," Selene growls at her."She went to get her things, and I knew where she was. I told her to go ahead, and I would pick her up. She needed time with her mother," Luther defends me."Well, it did not look like you knew where she was when you left here in a huff. It looked to me like you were pissed off at her too. I guess she has you in your place," Selene growls at him."I love you, mother, but do I need to remind you who the Alpha is? Or you can back off my wife," Luther growls back at her.Selene backs down. It does not stop her from looking at me like she is still pissed off. She walks toward a cabin that is across the field from our house. That must be where Luther's parents moved to today.Luther grabs my bags and brings them into the house. I walk ahead of him to go into our room. He stops me as I go into the room we were in last night. "No, I moved us to the master bedroom. The Alpha and his Luna need a bigger bedroom," Luther says.I follow him down the hall to the bedroom. This room is much bigger than the other room. There is a huge master bathroom in this room. "You can decorate it any way you want; it is fine with me. You can do whatever you want with the house. I will use the front room as my office, do not mess with that room, okay," Luther says."Okay, Luther, I know nothing about running a house or decorating a house," I say.Luther takes my hand. "We have people that cook and clean. If you want someone else to decorate the house, that is fine too. You do not have to worry about any of that. Your duties as Luna are the most important thing you need to worry about," Luther says."Duties? What do you mean?" I ask him."Your duties to the pack. I will have my mother help you with all of that. She can explain your role to you and be a great help to you," Luther says to me."I do not think that is a good idea. I do not think she likes me very much anymore. She seemed really upset that I left this morning," I say."Yes, she does, but my mother is hell-bent on having order in this pack. She will not disrespect you. You are her Luna," Luther says."Okay, I will gladly take her help, but only if she wants to help me," I say.Luther takes me into his arms. "But the first thing we need to know is to find you something to wear that is not so frilly and proper," Luther says."I like my dresses, Alpha. I like to be pretty," I say to him."Yeah, well, trust me, this will not go over well here. The she-wolves do not dress like this," Luther says."Okay, I will do what is expected of me," I say.Luther picks at the flowers on my dress. "I like your frilly dresses very much. You can still wear them for me," he says."I will, Alpha, anytime you want me to see me in one," I say.Alpha pulls me closer to him and kisses me hard. "Do you want to break in our new bed?" Luther asks me.My mind races back to last night, and I pull back from him without thinking. He looks down at me and looks angry again. I smile and back up to the bed. His facial expression changes quickly, and he looks happy again. I will have to be careful with him.I lay down on the bed. "Come to me, Alpha," I say to him. Luther comes to me smiling. I am afraid once again.Luther POVLaura pulls away from me. She is terrified of me. I do not want my Luna, my wife, the love of my life, to be scared of me in any way. I cannot help myself. When I touch her, the beast within me takes over, and I want to control her and claim her as mine.She backs up to the bed and smiles so sweetly. Maybe she is not afraid of the wolf she married. "Come to bed, Alpha," she calls me to her.I take off my shirt and make my way to her. The wolf within me burns for her delicate skin and her touch. I can smell her excitement for me, and I want to taste her.I remove my pants as I get closer to her. She leans back on the bed, and I can see under her frilly princess dress. Her white lacey panties are wet in the middle as I push her skirt up and let my hand slide up to her ass. I grab her tightly and begin to growl. She gasps.I try to calm my wolf as I undress my beautiful wife. He is wild and hungry for her. My wolf wants to claim her, breed
Laura Angel POVLuther and his mother, Selene, help me dress. I am a mess. I can barely stand, and the faires are on their way here to see their queen. Me, the queen, the concept does not seem like something I should be dealing with right now. I should be trying to fit in with Luther and his pack, not trying to figure out what to do with a fairy tribe. "I feel sick, Luther," I say. I lean over on him. "You will be fine, and you can do this. You have to be strong and brave for your people. I will be with you," Luther says. I nod my head—the sudden feeling of faint rushes over me. I feel hot and cold at the same time. "Oh, Luther, I do not understand why this is happening," I sob.Alpha Luther takes me by the upper arms. He shakes me gently."Snap out of it. Your people need you, Laura Angel. They are your priority tonight. I will make sure they are safe tonight. Tomorrow we will decide what to do about your tribe, but tonight you have to comfort them.
Luther POVI order Laura Angel into the house, not that she listens to me. She is reluctant. She wants to protect her people. I understand her pain, but that is a burden she should let me carry for her, at least for now when she is in so much danger. If the wolves went so far as to kill her parents, they would come for her too.I do not want to lose her or her tribe. I wish she were not so damn hard-headed. If she would only let me lead her for five seconds, I could help her navigate her new role.I did not tell Laura she was in danger. I did not want her to worry or fret any more than she already is now. I know taking on the burden of being the Queen is a lot for her, but there is no doubt in my mind she can do it. The wolves Sammie described are vicious. I do not understand why they would be after the Fairy tribe. They are usually guns for hire. Who in the hell would want to harm the Fairy tribe? Who would hire them?I have no ide
Laura Angel POVLuther takes me into his arms. The warmth of his chest is comforting to me. I want to be with him. I want to make love to him, but should I be wanting him right now. "I need you, Alpha," I say to him."Let me help you undress, and I will run you a bath, queen Laura," Luther says to me.He unzips my dress. My dress slides down and hits the floor. I step out of it and move closer to him. "I can help you out of these panties, too," Luther says as he tugs at my panties.Luther slides his hand down my side and holds my waist as his lips touch me. His tongue slides into my mouth. "Ummmm," I moan. His touch is electric. "Help me out of these panties, big bad wolf," I say to him. His hand slides down to my panties. He grabs the side of my panties and rips them off of me. "Ahh," I gasp as he removes my panties roughly."Slow down, wolf, we have all night," I say to him.He kisses me harder and growls. "I want you, now. I want inside o
Luther POVI cuddle with my queen. I kiss her and watch her as she falls into a deep sleep. I want her to feel wanted and safe when she is with me. I want to help her lead her tribe, but my pack must also be taken care of by us. I cannot turn my back on my pack. I think we can do this together.First thing, we need to see how bad the fairy tribe lands are damaged, then I am putting Argo and his brother on investigating what the hell happened to the King and Queen. There is no reason why any of this should have happened. Someone will have to pay for all of this.I need to check on my brothers and make sure they are okay. I thought they would come here to hunker down when everything happened. Drake is probably hiding with the little witch. Oh, I bet Silas is afraid I will ask him to do something. Silas has always been the lazy one of the three of us. I lay my head down on my pillow. I fall into a deep sleep, holding Laura Angel. She moves, occasionally waking me.
Laura Angel POVHearing what the little tink said pushes me over the edge. I take flight and fly ahead of Luther to our home. I want answers from Selene. What was she doing with the wolves last night? What was in the box she went to get from her house last night? Why? More than anything, I want to know why.I thought Selene wanted Luther and me together. Was there another motive for having me with her son? What is it? I fly as fast as I can. Luther is coming up quickly. I can hear him growling and calling out to me. "Laura Angel, wait for me. Do not do this alone; wait for me," Luther call out to me.I cannot stop. I need to get to that bitch! I will have my answers. I land in front of the house. I look back to see Ando and Luther coming fast. I run into the house. The place is quiet. Did she take the coward way out and leave? Stupid bitch, she probably ran when she realized the little tink was going to rat her out. I run from room to room, looking for her. Noth
Alpha Luther POVLaura was wrong about the faires taking it well. Some were happy, and some were in shock. Several wanted to go home, but they were stuck with a wolf Alpha King with no home to go to at the moment. Sammie and Shelby were, of course, happy.One good thing, Laura no longer felt like she had to hide how she felt about me. She could be open and honest with her tribe. After the initial uproar, the faires did calm down. The calm was good for Laura and helped ease her mind with everything else that is going on in her life. This was one last thing she had to worry about, she could relax."Give them time, they will all come around," I tell Laura as I hold her hand, leaving the doctor. Even the fairy doctor was pleased with me as Laura's choice. "I had to be honest. It was not right to lie to my tribe. I know my parents thought I should hide it, but I felt it was time, to be honest," she says as I take her to the truck."Where will we live?" she asks
Luther POVI step in front of Laura. She is not happy that I pushed her out of the way to go first, but she will have to get over it. I do not want her going in here at all, but she is stubborn and will not listen to anyone. Maybe if I go through here and find nothing, she will be satisfied and move on. I have to admit I am curious myself, but not enough for either of us to get hurt.Ando follows behind Luara and me. The wall is solid stone. Maybe it will not fall. I guess I should be more worried about anything crashing down from above. The tunnel goes deeper and deeper. There is plenty of light as we walk down the passage, but it is getting smaller as we go. This is made for a fairy, not two big wolves. I am not sure where all of the illuminations are coming from; I am sure it is some sort of fairy magic. At least, that is what I am going to tell myself."Do you see anything? Yet?" Laura asks me.I turn to look back at her. "No, it is just a passageway. It does
