Killian POV
When Lucy came down the long hallway to the party, she took my breath away. She was wearing red heels that made her legs go on for days, a red three quarter length dress that slid off the shoulders, revealing her mark. She was proud of it. How does this exquisite being belong to me? She doesn't even know how gorgeous she is. She was going to make the most amazing Luna. She is kind and loving, patient and understanding. Strong and fierce, she had already endured so much pain one person should never have in three lifetimes, all before she turned eighteen. I met her just outside the entrance to the great hall.
"You look more beautiful than anything I have ever laid my eyes on." A blush came across her cheeks just for a moment before she pushed the emotion away like she always does.
"Well, I can't top that compliment, but you do clean up well, your self alpha." She spoke sultry into my ear as she adjusted my bowtie.
"Shall we?" I took
Everyone started shifting and running into battle with the warriors. Killian ordered all untrained women and children to the secure floor for lockdown."Lucy that means you too!" Killian held her shoulders begging her to go to safety."No you need me, I'm your best female fighter. What kind of Luna hides when the fight starts!""fine but stay close to me and Axel at all times!" Killian ordered.they shifted and ran towards the fight. There were wolves everywhere. This was no ordinary Rogue attack. This was Alexi, Killian knew he was here for Lucy. Thank the mood goddess he marked her this morning. That would keep her from being marked by Alexi the rogue king.They fought and killed so many wolves Astrid thought they made a great team. She hadn't even needed to use any of her abilities, she was faster and stronger than she thought. All that training had paid off. She was startled when the sexy voice of Diesel filtered into her mind. "A
It has been weeks since Lucy left with the rogue king. It was really waring on Axel and Killian. Axel had never been without her since they were ten years old. They spent every waking hour together. Killian was more pissed. He finally found his mate and won her over, and she was gone. Just gone, he knew he needed to trust her, but how? What could be taking so long?Meanwhile, Lucy was gaining Alexis's trust. She was exploring his mansion. It wasn't as lovely as Death moon packs, but it was still enjoyable. She couldn't get over the stench of the rogues. Kyle had been to visit her, and they would walk in the garden. He was on her side. Kyle owed his life to Ellen, and he was waiting to repay her. Kyle and Lucy were working out a plan. Alexi was Livid that Lucy was marked. It was impossible to remove a fated mate mark unless that mate died or the other mate broke the bond. Which meant he needed to ger Killian to cheat on Lucy and break their bond. He couldn't kill Killian
Lucy couldn't sleep. The dark witch had arrived, and Ellen would not be here until morning, before the full moon, but witches were still not usually trustworthy. They worked for themselves with no loyalty. Ellen was different. She was raised to be good. Even if they didn't like the things Aunt Bonnie hid, she was still doing the right things. Lucy was afraid what if they removed Killian's mark. Would Alexi really force himself on her. would he really forcefully mark her? She had to trust Astrid and Ellen. They are strong. They would get them out of there alive. At some point, Lucy had drifted off in the night and awoke covered in sweat, another nightmare. She walked into her bathroom filled the bath with water so hot she could hardly stand it. The heat helped it soothed her aches and helped her relax. Her mind drifted to the hot springs and the magical time she spent with Killian. She got out when the water started to cool. She dried herself off and got dressed. She sat by the firep
Astrid POVI ran as fast as I could. The pain was so intense. When Killian marked us, it was pleasurable, a little painful, but nothing like this. I felt like my veins were on fire. I found a stream. I dove into the stream, hoping the cold water would give me some relief. It did help a lot; I could focus get my bearings. When the pain fog cleared, I jumped out of the river. SHHHHIIIITTTT, I left the fight! I ran back again as fast as I could. When I came running back to the garden, it was silent and still. Alexi was no longer lying on the ground. They had taken him to the pack dr. Everyone was in wolf form, just sitting like good dogs. Not moving, I shifted back to my human form, still remaining in control. I couldn't let Lucy deal with this mess as I walked down the path through the hundreds of wolves sitting. Each bowed their head to me as I walked through them all. A woman I know works in the kitchen came running out with a cloak that fit me to cover my naked b
LUCY Today was the day—my big Luna ceremony. I was still processing everything that had happened. I turned 18 became Luna to a rogue pack for all of an hour before giving it away. I am becoming Luna of one of the biggest packs in North America. I can Heal people. How is it that I graduated high school less than five months ago? I should be touring colleges and getting drunk at frat parties, not taking care of a pack. The fear was setting in the kind of fear that makes your arm hair stand up, the kind of fear that makes your vision blur, and the food you ate for breakfast start climbing back up. I'm still sitting in the clothes I slept in, bootie shorts and a tank top. My hair is a mess, and I look like I haven't slept in days. Killian has made sure the kitchen omegas have 100 different iron-rich foods a day. I am so tired of red meat and pumpkin everything. Axel snuck me in some eggs, benny and waffles with whipped cream and berries this morning. Some days I wish we were bac
KILLIAN Today was going to be a great day! Finally, Lucy would officially be my Luna. The pack already loved her like their Luna. She was kind, thoughtful and intelligent. She knew how to talk to pack members and how to listen to them. All the things I never learned how to do. I fought through my pain, making me a strong Alpha but definitely not a great Alpha. I would bet half the pack is too terrified to even come to my office with a problem. That gives me a great idea. I should make Lucy an office next to mine where pack members can go and talk to her, plus she can study or do whatever she wants in there. I know she would love nothing more than to hide in there with a good book. She won't have to once Axel and I finish the library, though. I never felt like we needed one before, but after seeing how happy Lucy was submerged in books back at the Bennet pack library, I knew we needed one. I was pulled from my thoughts when my door burst open, still in only a towel from the s
Lucy was soaking her body in the hot spring where Killian and her marked each other. Her muscles were sore from running so far so fast. She thought about running away. Forgetting this life and becoming someone else, but she couldn't leave Axel and Lanie with no explanation. How do you reject someone you already let mark you. She was mad and sad, but mostly she felt stupid for falling for Killian's act. She should have known better. She was lost in thought when a chill crept down her spine like someone was watching her. Who would be this far out here? That's when the vision started, Lucy's head fell back, and she began to shake as her vision took hold. "Where is Lanie?" Axel shouted over the roar of the waterfall."I don't know she was with you. I haven't seen her all day?" Lucy looked at Axel, terrified."Didn't she say she was going to let Anna out for a run today? She hadn't been let out in months and was finally feeling strong enough."
LUCY My nightmares had only gotten worse since my vision at the hot spring. I had agreed to move with Killian into the Master Suite, I was now the Luna, and my rightful place was with Killian in the Alpha Luna quarters. It was a beautiful room. A large king-sized bed, fireplace with two reading chairs, a walk-in closet larger than my house growing up, a large balcony with couches and a table with incredible views of the mountains. I really couldn't believe Killian was waiting for his Luna before he moved in. I would have moved in sooner if I were him. But he's not what I expected. He has a soft side, a traditional side. I would never have expected him to have.I had been searching for Jacob. Ellen had even cast some light spells to find him, but it would be hard to track without anything of his. I burned everything he ever gave me after that night. I still wonder what they would have done had Axel not found me. A shudder rips through me as I try to calm my n
