Chapter 21
SYLVIA
Hunter and I went to look at the damage caused by the fires. The outbuildings of the orphanage were completely destroyed, but that was of the least concern. There were five houses completely destroyed and a dozen damaged. Some members of the pack sifted through the rubble looking for salvageable items. My heart broke for them as I remembered the destruction of our pack. I know how it feels to lose everything you value, including my family.
Most of the affected families were housed in the orphanage. Others stayed with their relatives or friends. Myra instructed the kitchen to provide food for all the families. They made enough to feed the whole pack.
The estate was a beehive of activity. Men and women worked together clearing the rubble. Hunter left me to go and help and I assisted Rhonda and some of the other women looking after the children and seeing that they were fed and kept them out of trouble.
Nina ran about playing w

Before the break of dawn, we rose to leave the castle. The clouds were heavy with rain, waiting to birth the seasonal showers. Hunter carried a sleeping Nina to his sports car and laid her gently on the backseat. Joffrey, Kane and Marcelle waited to follow us in Kane’s Land Rover. A third car with four of the pack’s warriors waited outside of the castle gates.“Where are we going, Hunter?” I asked.“Somewhere you and Nina will be safe. I can’t have pack members assaulting my Luna.” He looked still angry. “Kane, Marcelle and the warriors I handpicked will stay with you.”“You aren’t?” Panic twisted my gut into a hard knot. Was he going to choose one of the Norwegian princesses? Will he leave Nina and I?His hand tightened on my thigh. “I’ll go back to the pack. Joffrey and I need to do some investigating. Someone in our pack is behind all these events. I have my suspicions,

HUNTERI found my father walking among the ruins of the burnt down houses. Almost all of the rubble had been cleared and new foundations were steadily being resurrected.“Where have you been, Hunter? Your mother has been going out of her mind with worry.” He didn’t spare me a glance, his attention focused on the activities on the grounds.“I took Sylvia and Nina to a safe place. Mother needn’t worry.” Like he could care. “Have you heard anything about the mercenaries and who hired them?”“No, still nothing. I’ve contacted most of the Alphas of the surrounding areas, none of them know anything. Or so they say.”“Did you speak to Alpha Drake?” His name left a bitter taste in my mouth. “I wouldn’t put it past him to try and ruin us.”“He was unavailable. But we should keep a close eye on him, I agree.” Father turne

SYLVIA“I can’t sit around here doing nothing, Marcelle. We need to train. I’m much better now.” I told Marcelle. We sat outside watching Nina run around, dancing with her dolly and chasing butterflies. Nina was happy, enjoying the mild weather outside. She seemed to have no memory of her nightmare the other night and it didn’t recur.Marcelle smiled indulgently. “Are you sure? You know how Kane likes to drill us.” she said.Anything would be better than sit around doing nothing but watch Nina and spying on the maids crushing on the men. I liked cooking and baking, but Pierre, our cook, gets irritated when we get in his way too much. He is a sweet old man, but set in his ways.“Yes, I’m sure.” My body healed faster than I thought it would. I don’t want to ever feel so helpless again. “I want to learn to defend myself.”“I’ll go speak to

HUNTERJoffrey and I waited outside a closed workshop on the outskirts of town. There was no sign of other werewolves or humans. The place was deserted at this time of night. Our senses on high alert, we scoped the area for any sign of impending danger.“Maybe this was a scam.” Joffrey said, as we had been waiting for more than an hour.“Give it a few minutes more.” I replied. My words weren’t even cold when we noticed a vehicle’s headlights approaching.“Showtime.” Joffrey said.The vehicle, a panel van, stopped in front of the building and a man got out. He was human. Did I just cost a man a legitimate job?The man greeted us. He looked like an ordinary worker. “But you aren’t the man I spoke to. Who are you?” he asked, but he didn’t seem too concerned.“We are friends of his. He said we could get a job here. He got another offer an

SYLVIAI woke up with this feeling of uneasiness growing in my gut. Ever since Hunter called me last night, I couldn’t shake it. I tried to phone him when I woke up but there was no answer. He could be busy training the warriors. Or making sure the security is in place for the Norwegian Royals. They would be arriving soon.Not too long ago he said he was willing to start a war to have me. Would he still want to do that? Would he do whatever it took to make me his Luna Queen?Nina came into my room, interrupting my thoughts. She jumped onto my bed. She was my little sunshine. Her smile lit up the whole room, brighter than the sun. She threw her little arms around my neck and hugged me tight.“Mama, Nina’s hungry.” She pouted. Her blue eyes shining brightly from just waking up. “Well then, we should get Nina some breakfast. But first…” I tackled her down on the be

HUNTERThe last thing I remember before everything went to shit is that Joffrey was hurt. I forced myself to consciousness. The truck turned upside down and I must have been thrown out. Picking myself up out of the dirt I looked for him. Dawn was breaking in the east – we no longer had the cover of night to hide.Joffrey was still inside the overturned truck. I heard his heartbeat and raspy breathing. At least he was alive. Keeping low to the ground I hurried to the truck. There was no sign of our attackers, but I was not taking chances. They had silver bullets. It just grazed my arm, but it burned like a bitch. Fortunately for me, I heal fast.“Joffrey! Hey man, wake up.” He groaned slightly. There was a lot of dried blood on his face and shirt. The bullet had grazed his temple, leaving a deep gash which I saw when I examined him. Luck had favored him, a few inches to the left and he would have been a goner.
Alpha Hunter's Luna Chapter 28
SYLVIA Darkness surrounded me in the boot of the car. I tried not to panic, breathing slowly, feeling around in the darkness for something, anything to keep me grounded. Cold metal, carpet, more cold metal. It felt like a metal coffin. Must just breathe. The road became bumpy and I was thrown around against the sides of the car. My body hurt. I felt like crying, but I had no tears to cry. I was so thirsty. My tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. Where was he taking me? My poor Nina. She was terrified, but so brave, trying to rescue me from the monster. Yes, he was a monster. What he was going to do to me, I could only imagine. Worst he could do was to kill me. No, I knew from experience that there were things he could do that was worse than death. Death would be merciful. And he had no mercy in him. I prayed to the Moon Goddess to save me. I prayed Hunter should find me. I prayed Drake would kill me. I prayed until I passed ou

HUNTER“Hunter, are you okay?”I heard Marcelle’s voice coming from afar. Clutching my chest, I fell to my knees. Hard to breathe, I gasped for air. The pain in my chest cut me like a knife. It was unbearable and I didn’t know what was happening to me. But then I felt it, Sylvia – she was hurting. I heard her screaming my name in my mind.“Joffrey, do something! What’s happening?” I heard the panic in Marcelle’s voice, but I couldn’t answer.Joffrey bend down next to me. I clawed at the ground, heaving.“He’s hurting her! Joffrey, he’s hurting Sylvia. It’s him, I know it’s him.” I sobbed like a girl. It wrenched out of my gut I couldn’t help it. Couldn’t stop it. Blaze howled in my mind; I was halfway between transformation.“Oh Goddess! Hunter….” I heard Marcelle crying and I felt
