LOGINThe moment I see an opportunity to flee, I take it. I escape to the one place no one is, the hallway. I take a drink with me, needing a moment of peace but the lights start flickering, and by the time I look up, they turn off completely. “For fucks sake.” I groan. Why would this happen in the middle of Danielle’s party? I reach into my bra for my phone, but the moment I have it in my hand, it slips.The worst thing that could have happened tonight happens when I lean down to pick it up. I touch someone’s hand, and I pull back instantly. “We meet again, little tease.”No. The monster.His voice sends a chill down my spine, I can’t see anything. I feel the floor with my foot for my phone, but I don’t find it. He is standing in front of me, and I can feel him breathing, I can scent him. “What are you doing?”“Catching up with my favourite toy,” he says, his voice grating against my sanity. “Tell me, how’s life treating you?”“I’m not your toy,” I snap, backing away but with each step I t
AELIANAI finally did it.I submitted my application to VU this morning, and I had the opportunity to sit in on a few lectures. My favourite was Noah’s, of course. She’s doing great, when she’s in the lecture theatre, she acts like she’s been doing this her whole life, something I can learn from if I do get the job. When I dropped off my application, the secretary was excited and wanted me to instantly meet the Dean, but I insisted that they treat me like the rest of the applicants. I even applied as Aeliana Hartley, which won’t be helping my case but it’s worth a shot.Noah and I had lunch together, and she gave me a tour around campus, convinced that we’ll be working together soon, and honestly, I’d like that. Not having any free time gives me no time to drown in my head. I also sat in on another lecture, an ethics class, just so I didn’t distract Professor Fren in her element.By the time we left VU, Kingston had sent me a dozen texts, most of them rumbling about his day, but one o
“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
“AELIANAWhen it comes to being an idiot, I take the cup.Only an idiot would want to spar a trainer who happens to be her arch-nemesis friend. I knew it was a trap the moment I stepped into the ring, I saw it in her smile before they joined me in the ring. It was clear that Audrey planned it all,
AELIANAI’ve set a timer from the time I came into this room until now. I cleaned up after the fight, and I’ve had enough time to reflect on it. However, my viewpoint remains the same, with only one regret, I should have hit harder, not just for Lexie, but for every other person she ever abused tha
He leaves, this time quicker than before. Everyone bursts out laughing, talking about how cute he is. “Daughter,” Luna Estelle coos.“Yes, mom?”“Your relationship with my son seems to have improved, I like that a lot.” She proudly says.I nod, “We’re trying.”‘Keep trying,” mom chimes in. “Whateve
“Fuck me,” she breathes against my lips, her hand guiding mine between her thighs. “I’m so fucking wet, King.” She moans, “I need you to bend me over and fuck me right now.”“Yeah?” I ask, running my hand down her slit. She’s soaked, her body twitches when I brush over her clit.She nods, biting he
