XARION'S POV

By the time the car pulls up to my house, it's almost ten o'clock, and I feel like I've been wrung out and left to dry.

I'm tired.

Not just physically tired, though that too, my body carrying the kind of exhaustion that comes from sitting through hours of meetings I barely absorbed, signing documents I had to read three times because my brain kept skimming past the words. No, it's the other kind of tired. The kind that settles somewhere behind your sternum and doesn't budge no matt

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 179

    XARION'S POVI don't move.Not because I'm incapable of moving, I'm capable, I'm just not entirely convinced that this is a real situation I'm currently in, and moving feels like the kind of thing that might disturb it.Megan is standing in my bedroom.The door is closed behind her.I am wearing a towel.These are the facts as I currently understand them."What are you doing in here?" I ask, and my voice comes out more cautiously than I intend, like I'm negotiating with something that might startle easily.Her eyes move again, just briefly, just for a second, dropping from my face to my chest and then lower before coming back up again, and she lifts her chin very slightly, looking every bit like she's decided we can both pretend that didn't happen."I wanted to talk to you privately," she begins, her voice calm. "Before the twins noticed I was gone.""Okay," I reply, still not moving."I'm sorry if this felt abrupt," she continues, "just showing up this morning. But I've been thinking

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 178

    XARION'S POVThe first thing I'm aware of is the light.Specifically, the fact that there's too much of it, coming through the curtains at an angle that feels personally aggressive, like the sun has decided this morning to make a point.The second thing I'm aware of is a headache.It's camped behind my eyes like it pays rent, pulsing with every heartbeat just to remind me it's there.I lie still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, and I take a slow inventory of the situation.I'm in my bed. I'm still in the clothes Andrew must've put me in last night, a T-shirt and sweatpants that I do not remember changing into, which means at some point I was either cooperative or completely unconscious, and based on everything else I know about last night, I'm going with the latter.And then, with the special cruelty of a mind that refuses to let you ease into consciousness gently, the memories arrive.The common room. The bottle. The increasingly unfiltered commentary I delivered to no one in pa

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 177

    MEGAN'S POVThe cab ride back to the hotel was heavier than I needed it to be.Rain against the windows, the driver mercifully uninterested in conversation, the city moving past in streaks of wet light, and me sitting in the back with damp hair and a head full of things I don't know how to organize.Xarion's face when he saw me at the door is at the top of the list.His hand on my shoulders, loose and vulnerable all at once.‘It killed me watching you let him hold you.’And then the floor coming up to meet him, and me kneeling there with his head against my arm like some scene I never expected to be part of.Andrew got him sorted. Pack members arrived, capable and efficient, and between them they had Xarion upright and moving within minutes. Andrew told me quietly that he'd handle it, that this wasn't the first time he'd put Xarion to bed after a bad night, and for some reason, that statement made me feel things I wasn't equipped to process standing in a damp jacket in someone else's

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 176

    MEGAN'S POVI still don't fully know why I'm here.That's the truthful answer, and I've been trying to make sense of it since I got into the cab outside the Stone Corporation branch and gave the driver this address, and I'm still trying to make sense of it now, standing inside the entrance of Xarion's pack house with a damp jacket and an umbrella that was largely useless against the angle of the rain.My wolf knew.That's what I can't stop thinking about. I spent forty minutes after Vance left sitting in my office trying to work, failing to work, staring at reports without reading them, and the whole time my wolf was pacing, restless and insistent, pulling my attention toward something I kept trying to ignore.She wanted him.She didn't care about logic or timing or whether it was a good idea. She just wanted Xarion.So eventually I stopped arguing with her.And now I'm here.And Xarion is looking at me like I'm something he's not entirely sure is real, which I understand, because I'm

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 175

    XARION'S POVAndrew stares at me.I finish the drink, then tap the empty glass on the side table."Andrew, be useful and top that up.""I'm not topping it up," he replies flatly.I glance across the common room, where Theo is still sitting in the armchair two seats over, trying very hard to appear absorbed in something on his phone."Theo," I call out.Theo looks up with the expression of a man caught between two forces he'd prefer not to be between."Get me the bottle from the kitchen cabinet. Now.”Andrew turns and levels a look at Theo that could stop a charging wolf dead in its tracks.Theo freezes."Theo," I repeat, with considerably more patience than I actually feel. "Who is the Alpha of this pack?"Theo glances between us, swallows, and replies carefully, "You are, Alpha.""Perfect," I confirm. "Then go ahead and get me that bottle."Theo gets up slowly, deciding that whatever consequences follow will at least not be immediate, and heads toward the kitchen.Andrew exhales thro

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 174

    XARION'S POVThe rain started about an hour ago.I can tell because I was already on my third drink when I heard it hit the windows, and I'm now significantly past my third drink, so the timeline tracks.The pack house common room is warm and illuminated, a large open space with deep couches, soft lighting, and lived-in energy that comes from years of my pack members using it for everything from strategy meetings to doing absolutely nothing in particular. Tonight it's half occupied, people scattered across various seats, conversations running low and easy.I'm in the corner with a bottle and a glass looking like a man who has made several questionable decisions today and has decided to honor them by making a few more.This isn't where I usually drink. I usually drink in my office or my home like a person with a functioning sense of privacy. But I didn't want to be alone tonight, which is its own kind of pathetic considering that being around other people isn't actually making me feel
