I’m in my new office. I have an official office as Luna in the pack house. It’s next to Matteo’s office. I was able to set up the way I wanted and even redecorate it. A little over a week has gone by since I started my official Luna duties. It’s going better than I thought and I’m doing things that match what I originally wanted to do with my life. When we had our meeting with Lana’s teachers they expressed concerns with the education system currently in place. Apparently, they had asked Cheryl many times in the past to help them revamp the education system. Cheryl kept declining them claiming she didn’t have time.
This angered Matteo as he is now wondering what else Cheryl neglected as Luna. He hasn’t been thrilled with what he’s finding out. As I take over more and more Luna duties we are discovering that Cheryl wasn’t doing much to help the pack when they asked. No wonder they are thrilled she is

Entering Amara’s office she looks up at me with distress. She’s been doing so well as Luna. Honestly, she’s doing better than I thought she would. I hate that part of me still doubts her. That I sometimes struggle to accept her as my mate. It’s not that she is doing anything wrong, she is an amazing she-wolf. I don’t feel like I deserve her after being such an asshole to her. I hurt her badly, and sometimes I fear I won’t be able to fully move forward. Jasper insists it’s my paranoia kicking in. He’s probably right which is why I have to shove the doubt aside and remind myself Amara is the mate I’ve always wanted. I can’t let myself be tainted by my first mateship going so poorly. It’s hard, it’s really hard some days. That’s why on the days I struggle I try to do something nice for Amara. Since I’ve decided to try and give this an actual shot, I’m going to give it my all. I’m not one to do things h
My nerves are fried, absolutely fried with this cursed dinner with my family. I’ve debated about canceling, but the dinner is in a few hours now. There’s no way I’m going to cancel now. I’d never hear the end of it. The backlash wouldn’t be worth it, although neither is whatever this dinner brings. I should have never texted my mom. I should have just let them think I’m the bad child even though I’ve spent my whole life trying to be worthy in their eyes. That’s all I’ve ever wanted was to be accepted by my family. To feel like I belonged with them, that I mattered to them. I clearly don’t as they don’t even know me. I can’t believe they have the audacity to think I actually did something wrong to get imprisoned. I’ve never broken pack law, not once. Even though I was tempted and peer pressure is a bitch, I resisted. Matteo is being supportive even
Relief floods me as I realize it’s Matteo’s parents. Linda greets me with a warm smile. I lead the two of them to the living room on the first floor. Matteo made sure that the packhouse was empty for our dinner. Only us and the staff are allowed. It’s not uncommon for an Alpha to close the packhouse for private events.Normally, I wouldn’t care if pack members were in and out like normal. However, with my family coming to visit I didn’t want to risk being humiliated in front of pack members. It wouldn’t look good if the Luna’s own family embarrasses her. If I could have hosted them in private and still kept the pack house open, I would have. However, the only part that is completely private and off limits is the second floor. There's nothing on the second floor except for the bedrooms. We have one end of the hall and the other end is guest rooms. There’
We take our seats at the dining room table. I’m not a fan of Amara’s family. So far, they have not impressed me. They are so judgy of Amara and I don’t understand why. Amara is a good person and she strives to help as many pack members as she can. Her heart is huge and kind. Amara is a wonderful Luna. Honestly, she is all I hoped for in a Luna and more. Plus, she has never done anything wrong when it comes to pack laws. I’m the dumbass who imprisoned her. I also didn’t like how they assumed I was asking them to take her back. I would never give Amara up, I’ve always known that. Even when I was being a royal asshole to her, I knew I would never give her up. The second I knew she was my second chance mate there was a part of me that was happy, but my guilt consumed then. While it feels like a lifetime has passed since Cheryl died, it’s not even been
I saw red at Cora’s words. I couldn’t help my natural reaction to kick her ass. I had fucking had it with my family. This was the last fucking straw as it all came crashing down and clinking into place all at once. It all made sense now. Why they hated me, why they treated me like the black sheep, and why I felt so unwelcomed in my own family. I was a bastard, a tragic result of my mothers affair. Her biggest mistake and regret, how does a pup live with that? Years of anger, hurt, and frustration burst out of me as I lunge at Cora with everything I have. I want to claw her fucking eyes out as my wolf attempts to push forward to cause me to shift. I hold back shifting and stick to my human forman. It’s not easy to do, but I could manage, for now. My fist lands perfectly on Cora’s face. I hear the sound of bone hitting bone as my clenched fist conne
Well, that was a shit show if I’ve ever seen one. I can’t believe her mother just dropped a bomb on her daughter blowing her entire world to pieces. It was savage to watch. I’ve seen ruthlessness before, but it’s usually from rogues, not from pack members. Thank the moon goddess above that they are no longer a part of my pack. I would have banished them after I locked them in my dungeons for a few weeks.I don’t care if they have families of their own. They came into my pack and insulted my Luna. Then they proceeded to blow her world apart and come clean about the truth. They are horrible people. They were cruel to Amara for something that wasn’t her fault. I know I have no room to talk because I did something similar, but at least I admitted to my wrong doing. I’m trying to make it right and I think I am. I’m pouring everything I have into my mateship,
Waking, I roll over to find myself faced with the walls of muscles that is my alpha, my mate, my Matteo. Moon goddess above I don’t know what I would have done without Matteo last night as my world crashed around me. My heart still aches at the news. I thought my heart ached when Matteo wrongfully imprisoned me. I thought my heart could know no worse pain than when he tried to force me to take those morning after pills. It was all nothing compared to last night.. Everything about last night has topped many horrible, painful, and embarrassing moments.Rolling out of bed I head to the bathroom. I need a hot shower to try and prepare for our family trip. As much as I’m not in the mood to go on our camping trip now, I won’t ruin this for Lana. This trip is important for several reasons. Perhaps, I need our camping trip more than I know. I need to be with my real family, the family that I have found thanks to my mate. Last night I felt cursed, but maybe I’m not. Maybe I’m secret
My parents are getting Lana up and ready for the day. I could hear her happily squealing as my parents attempted to get her ready as I left my own bedroom. My mom knows how to bribe Lana into doing anything. My mother used to work her magic on my siblings and I all the time. The woman knows how to charm. Making my way down to my office I mind link Jasper telling him to come to my office. I want to get this fresh shit show over with. I have no idea how Jasper is going to react to what we have to tell him. I can’t imagine it will be bad. Jasper is level headed. He’s not a blind nor naive. I’m sure he has to be aware of his father’s cheating. At least suspect it. The way my father made it sound Felix didn’t try to hide it either. All the times I thought of cheating Cheryl, I could never bring myself to do it. Amara was the closest I ever came, but ev
