Every night with Liam is amazing, but last night was the most passionate night we’ve ever shared. I don’t know why his slow, gentle lovemaking felt so intense at an emotional level, but if my heart hadn’t belonged to him before, it definitely does now. Because of the Luna ceremony last night, training was called off this morning. So instead, I have a plan to get started on the bunkers and safe rooms. I head down to the kitchen to grab breakfast. When I get there, the woman from yesterday, her name is Amy, is there waiting for me with her young son. “Luna, I brought a helper. This is my friend Chloe. She is pregnant and will be staying in the bunkers too.” “The more the merrier.” I say. “So, do either of you know where the bunkers and safe rooms are?” I ask. They do, and as we are about to head out, Dustin and Sarah enter. “Luna, do you have a minute?” Dustin asks me. I tell Amy and Chloe I’ll meet them at the bunker and walk over to Dustin. ”Hey, what’s up?” “Luna, Alpha hasn’t
As I watch my mate walk away, my heart feeling light as a feather, Anders steps up to me. “The Moon Goddess always gets it right, doesn’t she?” “I don’t know about always, but she definitely got it right with me.” When I can no longer see her, I turn to Anders. “What kind of help were you thinking of Anders?” We start to walking toward my office. “Well, Rik put me in charge of strengthening the weak spots on our borders. I thought, while I was here, that I could do the same for yours. If you can spare me some of your pack members, we can go out, assess what needs to be done and put up barriers or traps, depending on the weakness.” “That would be amazing! I have some ideas, but I haven’t had a chance to get to it yet.” “Then let me take that off your plate.” He claps his hand on my shoulder. “You’re not alone any more Liam.” “I’m beginning to realize that. Thank you, Anders. Do you want to have lunch before you head out? We can eat together and I can go over my thoughts.” Just
I showered quickly so I wouldn’t make Calista wait. When I found her in the kitchen, she was talking to Amelia and Charlotte. After checking in with them and Samantha, who was also with them, I sent them with food for Liam and Anders, knowing that Liam would want to check in with them as well.Calista and I grabbed some food and I also grabbed a note pad and pen before finding a quiet place for us to eat and talk.“Based on what I’m seeing, it looks like you already know how to be a Luna, Angel. So, what is it that you need from me?”“I want to know how to do it right, so that I can be the Luna that Liam wants and needs for his pack.”She smiles kindly at me. “Sweetheart, you already are.”I’m shaking my head before she finishes. “I’m just helping him out, I don’t know what I should be doing every day.”“But that’s what being a Luna is all about, helping your Alpha and helping the pack. You know the responsibility of being an Alpha is huge. A good Alpha takes that responsibility very
If Angel touches the Fae King one more time, I may have to kill him. If he thinks he can take my mate from me, he’ll be in for the fight of his life. I have no intention of losing my mate to him or anyone. After Angel calms me down, I feel better, but I still don’t want her alone with this guy. I may trust her, but I don’t trust him. “Now that that’s settled,” Rik says, “how about we convene in one of our conference rooms. We all move into the room and I pull Angel into my lap. She gives me an exasperated look, but when I don’t budge, she settles back against me with a heavy sigh. “Everyone, this is my son, Aolis.” A young man maybe 9-10 years old nods his head. “He is here to begin learning how we chronicle the Guardian history, so that he may take it over when he’s older." I notice the kid made sure he sat next to Cara. Weird. These Fae men have a thing for our Guardians. I’m not taking any chances with my mate this weekend. Ailduin turns his attention to Angel. “Alessia and An
Telling my story again was difficult. Knowing it would be chronicled for eternity made it even harder. While I wasn’t pleased that Liam needed me in his lap, I was glad to be there, wrapped in his arms while I told my story.I’m not sure why Ailduin is having the effect on Liam that he is. He has never shown any jealousy with Clint. But, with Ailduin, he’s acting like I’m going to leave him, to choose Ailduin over him.When he pulls me into our room, I know he needs to reconnect. I don’t want him to ever feel like anyone can take his place in my heart, my soul or my life. There is no one else but him. Those words we say to each other, 'you and me', those words are everything.As soon as he closes the door, I pull him into my arms. His buries his head in my neck. “Liam.”“I can’t lose you. Maybe you don’t feel it, but he feels something, and I can’t lose you.”I pull back, taking his face in my hands. “You won’t, not ever. Don’t you feel it?”He won’t look me in the eye. I’ve never see
I carry my sweet Angel into the dining room. I can tell she wants to put me down, but it’s a testament to how tired she is, that she doesn’t fight me. I’m constantly amazed at how awesome my mate is. Her show of strength with her aura and the ways in which she can direct and redirect it are incredible. Even Cara can’t do what she’s doing. I used to think that Cara was the strongest she-wolf there is, but now I know, my little mate is. When we get inside, I sit her in my lap and order two plates. I want to make sure that she eats. I’m hoping it will perk her up some and I won’t have to put her to bed. I want her to be a part of whatever it is that Ailduin has in store for us. It’s good for her to see what she and her fellow Guardians are capable of. I catch Ailduin watching Angel again. After reconnecting with my mate last night, I don’t feel jealous, but I really wish he’d stop. “I think the aura is like a muscle.” He looks at me as he says it. “I think practice will make her strong
When Liam and Ailduin came back from their walk, I was happy to see Liam smiling. “Is everything okay?” I asked him. He wraps his arms around me. “Perfect! Ailduin has another test for you, so let’s go see what other strengths my little mate is hiding.” I laugh as we head toward the others. Clint, Cara, Rik, Anders, Ailduin and Aolis are already there. “I have one more test I’d like to try before Aolis and I head home and begin adding to your chronicles. What I'd like to do, is see if Angel can use her ability to direct her aura on Cara’s aura.” Ailduin turns to Rik. “Can we get a couple of your warriors again?” Rik calls over a few of his warriors, Trevor running over in his excitement to assist again. Apparently, he enjoys seeing how strong we, as Guardians, are compared to himself. There were five warriors this time. “Okay, Angel, stand behind Cara and put your hands on her arms.” I do as I he asks, but rather than putting my hands on her arms, Cara reaches back and we hold
I’m not sure if I should be excited or offended that some of my pack members would rather talk to Angel than me. In truth, I’ve never really seen a pack run with a Luna, except from afar, like with Rik and Cara’s pack. Before now, everything had to come through me. On one hand, it’s a relief, but on the other hand, I never realized that some of my pack members weren’t comfortable talking to me. I guess it does make sense that some things are meant to be discussed with the pack’s Luna. While it’s a transition for me, I’m thrilled that the pack is already comfortable enough with Angel to seek her advice and assistance. I’m kicking myself for not thinking about the Luna’s office. It’s been so long, that I hadn’t considered that she might need her own office. Dustin is giddy in his excitement that Sarah wants to help. It’s exactly what her role will be if she accepts Dustin as her mate. He’s told me he’s talked to her about it and she’s thinking about it. Being human, it’s a lot to take
