LOGIN“Excuse me,” I say, walking away from her. She just ruined a perfectly good day for me because she couldn’t mind her own business. Aeliana and I haven't discussed children yet, but I think it’s about time we started.“What did I do wrong?” She gasps, obviously asking Rowan because he stays.“Nothing, he’d rather be mad at you than her.” He tells her, “Choose a lighter approach next time or stay out of it.”“I was just trying to—”I don’t hear the rest of her explanation and I don't need to, the intent was good, but I would have preferred she kept it from me. My wolf is raging. Today started perfectly great with Aeliana in my arms. Even with how badly she kicked my ass at War Veteran, I was going into the rest of my day with a good mood.But it’s okay, to hell with it.I don't have to go to the mini clinic to find Aeliana, she’s in the passenger seat of Noah’s car. I stop when I’m within earshot. “Aeliana,” I call, my voice softer than it was a minute ago, despite how unsettled I am by
“You.”Me? “Nope,” I snort out a laugh.“Why not?” She raises an eyebrow. “You have a more active sex life than I do. You and Alpha Kingston are always at it. Don’t think I didn’t notice you last night, Luna Aeliana.”“My noah,” I gasp, my cheeks heating up from embarrassment as I look behind me, thankfully everyone seems to be busy with their own thing.“You came in flushed, drenched in perfume, and then you disappeared for like thirty minutes in the middle of it all.”I shrug, the memory enough to make me laugh. “That means nothing.”“You should take one of those shifters tests,” she casually says. “There’s only so much the birth control can handle. Didn’t you just have your heat cycles?”“Yes?” I frown, it's not meant to be a question but it comes off as just that.“That messes with stuff,” she shrugs.“No.”“Yes,” she confidently says. “You know how seriously I take birth control, so trust me. My dad would kill me if I sprang a mini Noah.”She’s right.Noah is on top of her birth
AELIANAThe fundraiser was a hit.I haven't been this happy about something in a long time. I found the kind of fulfilment I do from teaching in it, it felt good to do something that benefited so many kids not just for a day but for a long time. Pack activities might just be my favourite thing about being Luna, and I hate to admit it, but Mom was right. It is an honour, all I had to do was stop viewing it as a weapon, and I was set.Around nine yesterday, we called it a night, dropped off a few kids in the limo we hired, and came back home. Kingston and I were past our drunk in the cinema until four in the morning when Maddox found us. He woke us up and scolded us to commemorate his return.We’ve been up since then, sprawled in the living room where others joined us and left us. Now it’s just Rowan, Noah, Kingston, and me, playing a stimulating game of war veteran. Kingston and Rowan are quizzing us on war tactics in an attempt to prove their academy prepared them for any possible sit
Her response is instant, “Yes, her.”I nod.Danielle doesn't seem to like Noah. I’ve known it from the beginning, and that might have to do with Rowan tailing her. I tried to put someone else on Noah, but he refused. He said she’s just a girl, and honestly, I doubt if she would listen to anyone else.Her eyes shift and I mirror them, landing on Rowan now. “Oh crap, I think I’m going to be sick.”“Because Rowan hugged Noah and Ellie?” I frown, eyes shifting back to Danielle.“No,” she clutches her stomach, her face twisting. “I think something’s wrong with the wings I ate on the way here, they were pretty cold.”“Okay,” I set my drink on a passing waiter’s tray and offer her a hand to lean on. “Why don’t we sit down. Come on,” I say, trying to help her to an empty table I see.We are halfway there when she groans, “My stomach is rumbling.”I can't help but laugh now, Danielle can be very dramatic sometimes, and this happens to be one of those times. “You're hungry, Danielle.”“Yeah, bu
KINGSTONThe last few days have been nothing short of blissful. No one bothered me much, except for Rowan and Caleb summoning me through the pack link a few times, I’ve pretty much had a vacation with my mate, and that vacation would have continued if not for the mixer Aeliana organised for the foundation.We are late tonight.I couldn’t keep my hands off Aeliana after seeing how good she looked in her dress for tonight. Every time I see her in something new, I keep thinking I’ve seen her look more beautiful, and yet, she surprises me every single time. I held off as long as I could, and if not for her self-control, we wouldn’t have made it here at all.The moment we check into the hall, Pandora Hartley finds us quicker than a waiter can offer us a drink. “Alpha Kingston.” She beams.“Mrs Hartley, you look beautiful.”She grins widely, “But not as much as Liana baby.” She gushes, pulling her into an involuntary hug. I’m holding a strong grudge against the entire family since she disap
I’m scared, Damien was angry when I kissed those men at the club, what will Kingston do if he finds out? Fuck, he’ll hate me for sure.“No secrets,” he repeats. “And I would appreciate it if I wasn’t the only one talking about my feelings when we fight, or discuss an opinion we disagree on.” He tells me, his tone sincere. My lips part, I should say it now, while I’m at the perfect angle of being strangled but he speaks before I do. “Doesn’t that sound better than hiding your heat from me? You’re making me feel like a shit mate.”“I’m the shit mate,” I grumble. Behind my eyes, is nothing but a blur of those kisses. My stomach twists with disgust so vile it slips past the heat. I let my spite drive me into someone else’s arms and Kingston is smiling at me, I should tell him now but my courage fails me.“I didn’t want for that to happen, I was going to tell you, but she got in my head. She said you were hers, you wouldn’t love me like her, and—”“I’ll stop you right there, she’s a frien
Her eyes meet mine again, and I get the other shoe and help her put it on. This time, she tells me how to do it right. When done, I pull a chair and sit at a safe distance. "Now what?"She shrugs, looking a little sad."Damien loves you, so why are you frowning?" | ask, nearly choking at the first
“Nothing.”“You took my knife,” she slurs, “I want my kiss, Alpha Kingston.” She says, but the way she refers to me as Alpha is different from the other day, there’s more familiarity in it.I kiss her on the side of her mouth, the way she’s looking at me makes my heart race. If I kiss her now, I wo
“I think I might die if I don’t,” he dramatically groans. “Who is she?”My jaw tightens, “That’s my wife.”“Your wife?” Theo and Jax gasp, “Her?”Aeliana throws her head back laughing and puts her shades on top of her head, and someone gasps, not sure who but they gasp. “Oh, she looks familiar!” Ja
“Aeliana.”“What?” She frowns.“Come with me,” he says, already tugging her along.“Why?”“I’ll explain!” I hear him say, their voices fading into the music as they walk further away.Audrey snorts out a laugh, “Does he think she can solve his problems? She’s more hopeless tha
