Abused Luna Mature Alpha 52. Stay Awake
The atmosphere in the hospital waiting room was stifling, a heavy pall of tension and worry blanketing everyone present. The fluorescent lights overhead buzzed quietly, an undercurrent to other families and patients' low murmurs of conversation. But in one corner, Gideon, Avla, and their pack sat in almost complete silence, the weight of the situation pressing down on them all. Gideon stood slightly apart, his tall frame silhouetted against the window pane. Outside, the inky sky was punctuated by the rising crescent moon, its silvery glow painting a soft luminescence on the world below. He sighed deeply, his fingers instinctively going to the back of his neck, massaging the tense muscles there. Hearing the sigh, Avla rose and approached him. Without a word, she wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her cheek against his back. The quiet gesture, full of warmth and comfort, was a small island of solace in the sea of their current turmoil. Yet even as she held him close, she could

The days that followed were a whirlwind of activity. Between their responsibilities at the pack house and the hospital, Gideon and Avla seemed to be everywhere at once, ensuring that Tanner's recovery was smooth and also that the pack's daily affairs didn't suffer. On the third day, Tanner was transferred to a regular room. The sterility of the hospital's ICU was replaced by slightly warmer colors and a window that overlooked a small courtyard. The entire pack came to visit, making the room burst with energy, laughter, and chaos. Ever the ball of energy, Liam jumped onto the bed, eager to be close to Tanner. But Tanner, with a swift motion, managed to shield his injured side from the enthusiastic kid. Jorge, with a knowing smile, gently pulled Liam away. "Hey, kid, give him some space," he chided playfully before turning his attention to Tanner. "So, how's the hospital cuisine treating you?" he asked. Tanner made a face. "Honestly? I'd kill for some of your signature lasagna right
Abused Luna Mature Alpha 54. Alphas and Wards
The past days' events had been a vortex of emotion and conflict, but now, standing amid the collective of his pack, Gideon felt an undercurrent of something new — possibility. While Tanner's inability to shift brought about challenges, it also unveiled an opportunity Gideon hadn't fully contemplated before. The presence of another potential Alpha might be a source of tension, but it could also be a force of strength and unity for the pack. Much like a son being groomed to take the reins of leadership one day. And what was Tanner, if not a son? Gideon made a decision after some internal wrestling and many fierce negotiations with his wolf.During the next training session, he approached Tanner with a proposition. "I want you to lead today," Gideon declared. Tanner blinked in surprise, his eyebrows knitting together, clearly taken aback. The surrounding pack members exchanged glances, their unease palpable. They had become accustomed to Gideon's leadership, and introducing Tanner in
Abused Luna Mature Alpha 55. I need to talk.
The creak of the door and a soft knock disrupted Gideon's concentration. He glanced up to see Tanner, looking slightly hesitant. "Alpha," Tanner began, giving the customary title its due respect, "I need to talk." Gideon set aside the pile of papers he'd been engrossed in, gesturing to the chair opposite his desk. "Of course, come in," he replied, his voice softened. "What's on your mind, Bud?" Tanner took a deep breath, his gaze flitting around the room momentarily before landing on Gideon. "It's about... well, the possibility of me having Alpha blood. If it's true... what does that mean for us, for the pack?" Gideon leaned back in his chair, intertwining his fingers behind his head. "You know, I hoped to avoid this conversation a bit longer. But I should've known you'd be thinking about it. You've always been one to face things head-on." Tanner's eyebrows knitted together. "I just need clarity. With the changes, the way the pack responds to me now... I need to understand." Gid

The following day, the sun peeked through the curtains of the meeting room, casting long golden rays across the massive wooden table. Maps, charts, and patrol schedules covered the surface. Gideon, Kane, and Thomas poured over the details, plotting and planning. Their focus: fortifying the border. With Yorgan's imminent release, they couldn't take any chances. Kane ran a hand through his grizzled hair, studying the intricate markings on one of the maps. "When are you planning to release him?" he asked, looking up at Gideon. Gideon hesitated for a moment, his gaze steely. "Soon. Very soon." Kane looked about to press further, but Gideon's tone left no room for negotiation. "For security reasons, I can't specify the exact time. Just be prepared." The gravity of the situation was clear, and though they each had their reservations, their trust in Gideon's leadership bound them. The cloak of night brought with it an eerie stillness, and under its cover, Gideon woke Avla up quietly.
Abused Luna Mature Alpha 57. Change of Plans
As the van's wheels crunched over the gravel pathway, the vibrant hum of the ongoing gathering at the pack house came into view. From a distance, the grounds looked like a mix of joy and camaraderie, bathed in the warm hues of twilight. The tempting aroma of sizzling meat on open grills mingled with the sweet scent of freshly baked bread, causing even the most disciplined wolves to salivate. Children, their faces painted with gleeful designs, darted around in spirited games of tag, their laughter melodious and infectious. Elsewhere, some pack members had spread blankets over the grass, lounging and sharing food while engaged in animated conversations. In a shaded corner, a circle had formed around a few members playing an impromptu tune on acoustic guitars, their fingers skillfully dancing over the strings, adding a musical backdrop to the gathering. After stepping out of the van, Gideon paused momentarily, absorbing the heartwarming scene before him. Such spontaneous gatherings w

As Avla stepped into the shower, the rising steam and cascading water heightened the unusual sensations she was starting to feel. Her body felt unusually warm, a sign she was familiar with but hadn't expected just yet.Outside, Gideon hesitated by the bathroom door. "I think I'll skip the shower," he said, voice strained. "Don't want to, you know... lose control."Avla let out a laugh, thinking he was joking. But when she peeked out from behind the shower curtain, she found his face dead serious. Her laughter died down. "Oh, you're genuinely serious," she murmured, a bit taken aback.While she continued with her shower, Gideon's phone buzzed. He picked it up to find a message from Tanner. Opening it revealed a heartwarming picture: Tanner and the other boys nestled in his soon-to-be bedroom. Despite being a skeletal frame of plywood and studs, their exuberance filled the space. Gideon's lips curled into a smile.Yet, almost simultaneously, a pang of jealousy stirred within him. It was
Abused Luna Mature Alpha 59. A Culmination of Her Duties
The warmth of the robe Hattie handed Avla was more than just physical; it was a comforting embrace. "Thanks for having this ready," Avla murmured, pulling it tightly around herself. Hattie chuckled, the sound rich with years of wisdom and experience. "Over the years, I've stashed robes in strategic places. You'd be surprised how often a distraught, naked woman bursts through my door in need." The pair burst into laughter, the tension from earlier events momentarily forgotten. But as the laughter subsided, Hattie took a moment to study Avla, a thoughtful expression on her face. "You know, your scent is particularly potent this time." "Why do you think that is?" Avla inquired, her brow furrowed in curiosity. Hattie took a deep breath, choosing her words carefully. "With two Alphas among us, the balance within the pack is disrupted. Luna spirits have been known to act in ways to restore equilibrium. It's their way of ushering in tranquillity." "But how does sending me into such a st
