MEGAN'S POV

Vance leads us through the back aisles of the building, moving fast but carefully, his eyes constantly scanning for threats.

I'm right behind him, Makayla clutched tightly in my arms and Maverick pressed against my side, his little hand gripping my dress like a lifeline.

My heart's pounding so hard I can hear it in my ears, and my wolf is still scratching against me from the inside, demanding to be let out.

‘No,’ I tell her firmly. ‘The twins come first.’

We turn a corner, and Vance stops abruptly in front of what looks like a maintenance door.

He reaches for the handle, and I realize it's a hidden room, probably used for storage or emergencies.

But before he can pull it open, a voice cuts through the air like a blade.

"And where do you think you're going?"

We freeze.

I turn slowly, and my gut twists.

Another man steps out from behind a stack of crates, a gun raised and pointed directly at us.

He's tall, broad-shouldered, and his eyes are filled with cold mockery.

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 70

    MEGAN'S POVMorning light filters through the curtains of the hotel room, but I haven't slept.Not really.I've been lying here for hours, staring at the ceiling, my mind refusing to shut off.The twins.They're not here.For the first time since they were born, I didn't put them to bed myself. I didn't read them their bedtime stories. I didn't kiss their foreheads and tell them I love them before they went to sleep.And it's tearing me apart.I groan internally, pressing the heels of my palms against my eyes.This is exactly what I was trying to avoid.When they asked to visit Xarion, I knew there was a possibility this could happen. I knew they'd get too comfortable with him. I knew they'd want to stay longer.But I thought I could control it and keep things strictly on my terms.And now? Now they're sleeping at his house, and I'm here, wide awake, wondering if they're okay.Are they scared? Did they wake up in the middle of the night and ask for me?Did Xarion comfort them? Or did

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 69

    XARION'S POVMegan's voice sends a jolt through me, and I can practically feel the ice radiating through the phone.But I force myself to stay calm, taking a slow breath before responding."Hey, Megan," I greet as evenly as I can manage. "Thanks for picking up.""What do you want?" she counters, her tone stiff and impatient. "Is something wrong with the twins?""No, no. They're fine. Perfect, actually. We've been having a great time."There's a pause, and I can hear her exhale sharply on the other end."Then why are you calling?" she presses, her voice still laced with suspicion.I glance down at Maverick and Makayla, who are watching me with wide, hopeful eyes, and I steel myself for what I'm about to ask."The twins…" I begin carefully, choosing my words. "They want to stay the night with me."Silence.Dead silence.I can almost see Megan's body tightening, her arms crossing, that familiar defensive posture she gets when she's about to tell me no."Absolutely not," she replies flatl

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 68

    XARION'S POV"Yes!" Makayla shouts, bouncing on her toes.Maverick grins. "Can we meet everyone who works here too?"I chuckle, ruffling his hair. "Absolutely. Come on."I take their hands, leading them out of my office and into the hallway.The second we step into the common area, heads turn.My employees pause mid-conversation, their eyes widening as they take in the sight of their Alpha walking through the office with two small children following along."Is that…?" one of them whispers to her colleague in surprise."Alpha Xarion's kids," the other murmurs back, shocked.I stop at the desk of one of my senior project managers, a bright woman named Janice who's been with the company for years."Janice," I say, gesturing to the twins. "I'd like you to meet Maverick and Makayla. My kids."Her face lights up instantly. "Oh my goodness! It's so nice to meet you both!"Makayla beams up at her. "Hi! What do you do here?""I help make sure all the big projects your Daddy works on run smooth

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 67

    XARION'S POVThe conference room door closes behind me with a soft thud, and I resist the urge to punch the nearest wall.That meeting was a disaster.Not because of bad business. The numbers are solid, the quarterly projections are excellent, and the investors are happy.But none of that matters when my mind's somewhere else entirely.I couldn't focus or think straight. Every time someone presented a slide or made a point, all I could see was Megan's face at the hospital, the twins huddled against her, and the fear in their eyes.And the worst part? I still have nothing.No leads. No answers. No damn clue who sent those rogues.Despite everything I've done, despite Andrew working around the clock, despite every contact I've squeezed for information, we're no closer to finding out who tried to kill my family than we were three days ago.Three days.It's been three days since Megan was discharged, and I haven't seen her or the twins since.I wanted to. Goddess knows I wanted to.But ev

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 66

    MEGAN'S POVI take a breath, realizing this is the moment I've been dreading.The moment I have to fully explain our world to them."Alright," I begin slowly and reposition myself so I can look at both of them properly. "You know how Mommy's a werewolf, right?"They nod eagerly."Well, that means I have a wolf inside me,” I continue. “All werewolves do. And I can shift into my wolf form whenever I need to.”"Like magic?" Makayla questions, her eyes sparkling with wonder."Sort of," I reply with a soft laugh. "But it's not magic. It's just part of who we are. And one day, when you're older, you'll be able to shift too."Maverick's eyes widen. "Really?""Yep," I confirm. "But not until you're a bit older. Usually around sixteen or eighteen. That's when your wolf will wake up inside you.""Will it hurt?" Makayla inquires nervously."A little," I admit honestly. "The first time is always the hardest. But after that, it gets easier. And it's an amazing feeling. You'll see."They both stare

  • I Need You, My Luna   CHAPTER 65

    MEGAN'S POVThe hotel room is nice enough.It's spacious and clean, one of those upscale suites with a separate bedroom for the twins, a kitchenette I haven't touched, and massive windows showing off the city skyline.But after three days of being cooped up here, the walls feel like they're closing in.I'm sitting on the edge of the couch, my leg still wrapped in bandages but healing faster than the doctors expected, watching Maverick and Makayla play with the new toys I bought them yesterday.They're calmer than usual.Subdued.And it makes my heart clench.Makayla's building a tower with colorful blocks, her little face scrunched in concentration, while Maverick arranges toy cars in a neat line on the carpet.But there's no laughter. No bickering. No wild energy like there usually is.They're scared.And I hate that I can't fix it. I don't know how to make it better."Mommy?" Makayla's soft voice breaks the silence, and I look up to see her watching me with those big, questioning ey
