Luna of the Menae Chapter 127
In the morning, Psyche, Eros, and Hedone stop by our suite to eat breakfast with us. Bronx is distracted with Reggie, Milo, and Tyree, making sure security meets their stringent requirements for us to attend the concert. Eros offers to help them and wanders to the desk on the other side of the room.“Kas, would you and your girl gang like to come to my club after the concert?” Hedone gives part of her biscuit to Maya.“We’re going OUT! No boys allowed. Girls only.” Lex jumps around in my mind. “If you don’t wear a sexy dress, I’m gonna kill you, Kas.”“A nightclub?” I look at her skeptically.“Mmm hmm. Don’t let my appearance fool you, Kas. I only look young and beautiful. I’m thousands of years older than you. It’s just, you know… Goddess of Pleasure and Enjoyment. I kinda won the genetic lottery.” She leans her chin on her hand and scrunches her nose. “So I own a bunch of clubs. We have a lot of non-human clientele. L.A. and Miami are my biggest money makers. Now Tyree’s mate is hel

I wish I could tell you that things have been exciting the last few months, but they haven't. Aphrodite has been so under the radar that even Hephaestus is suspicious. Bronx and I had a private meeting with him when we got home from our media tour to regroup. Heph has a plan, but insists it’s better for us to be oblivious to the details.Other than the frequent interruptions of him and me having an intimate relationship, things have been quiet. I'm almost embarrassed to say how many times Milo or Reggie has walked in us before things get really good. It doesn’t matter where we are, Aphrodite knows and she puts a kibosh on it. When I say quiet, that doesn't include the flurry of activity that envelops the packhouse. Winter Solstice is everyone's favorite time of year. Ashley gore overboard as usual with decorating and events for the pack to attend. When the PR team advises Bronx and me to be more active on social media, I put Marybeth in charge and she thrives. She gets the best cand

Bronx sits on the ground next to the bed and puts his hand under my leg, gently swinging it back up so I will lie back down.“No need to get up, Baby. I just got done with my therapy session.” He takes my hand, kissing it softly then holding it on the side of his face. He looks deep into my eyes, as if he’s trying to find permission within himself for something. “Kas, I’ve just been thinking. I- I don’t know… I just need to talk, I guess. There’s stuff I don’t want to talk about in front of the Doc. I don’t want you to think I’m making excuses. I… I want you to understand where my mind has been the past couple years, cause I think that’s the only way you and I will really be able to move forward.”“Okay, what’s on your mind, Sweetheart?” I watch him as he works through his thoughts.Bronx seems to go through a gamut of emotions before he shakes his head, then lets my hand go so he can rub his face. He sighs heavily and looks at me, as if he’s ready to speak, but opens his mouth and cl

Bronx’s POV“Henri, thank you so much for doing this. Kas has training right now. She’ll stop to say hello after you’re settled into your suite.” I shake my friend’s hand when he arrives at the front steps of the packhouse. His mate, Sofia, and personal guard, Francis, stand with him. Sofia kisses my cheeks and hugs me. Francis gives a polite nod, but keeps his hands behind his back, still at attention.I’ve known Henri for years. I met him when I was in the military and consider him a mentor. He was an Alpha Regent for his pack in France before his son took over and they voted Henri into a position on the Elder Council. He was the one who recommended sending Kas to Lady Camille’s coven. He even married Kas and I. It’s only appropriate for him to perform the ceremony for us to officially become chosen mates.“How could I not?! You’re damn lucky the Council didn’t have you executed when they found out what you did to Kas. I can’t believe they didn’t strip you of your Regent status.” He

“Bronx, we need you at the front door.” Reggie comes through a mindlink. “Bro, now is not a good time.” I lean my head back against the wall and look at the door to Kas’s room. She’s been in there with Psyche for over an hour. “I’m waiting for Kas to get done in the hospital wing.” “Yeah well, looks like Elder Henri’s guard, Francis, is mated to a Goddess… and did you know the Healers can create a force field around themselves when they’re scared? Cause if you didn’t, now you do.” Shit. I grit my teeth and growl to myself. Why now? Why does everything have to turn to shit all at once? I take a slow breath to calm myself before I reply. “Which healer and is anyone hurt?” “No one has been hurt as far as I can tell. Lena is in like… a cocoon? Sort of? I assume she can get out if she wants, but how the Hell could I know for sure?” “Cocoon?” I stand up and walk toward the nurses’ station. “Like… a crystal cocoon? Send Marco a picture. Ask him if it’s what Kas looked like when she turne

“Kas, we can postpone the ceremony. Henri will understand. No one will be upset about it.” I wipe her tears away and kiss her cheek. “We can even go to Lune D’or when Lena goes to visit Francis and have Henri do the ceremony there if we want. Henri would be happy to do that. You know they love having us visit. Musu and Marco can go visit her parents with their twins. If we wait until Delilah has her pup, she and James can visit the Coven with their new little one and Xander. ”“No. Want to do it tomorrow like we planned.” She sniffs and shakes her head. “I don’t want to let Aphrodite think she’s beaten us.”“So you and the Doc really think she’s the reason you reacted like that earlier?” It still sounds farfetched, but does it really sound that crazy? It’s been three months since Kas agreed to be my chosen mate and Aphrodite has made our lives really uncomfortable.“Whether Psyche thinks so or not, I know it. When Klay cracked the whip, I heard that obnoxious buzzing sound, and I lost

Kas’s POV“Sorry I’m late. The door to my suite was stuck closed.” Henri announces as he comes into the Bronx’s office. He trips on his shoelace, but Milo catches him before he hits his head on the corner of the desk. Henri holds his hand to his heart. “Ah merde [Oh shit]! That has never happened to me before.”“Are you alright, Alpha?” Musu rushes to his other side.“Yes, my dear. Merci.” He shakes his head. “I-I don’t know what happened.”“Aphrodite, Sir.” Milo pats him on the back. “As much as I hate to say we should hurry with something like this… we, uh, should hurry.”I look around the Bronx’s office at our ranked members and closest friends. It disappointed the Menae when I asked them not to attend, but they understood my reasoning. If anything were to happen to them because Aphrodite throws another tantrum, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. As much as I wish Maya and Dre could be here with us, it’s just not safe. As a consolation, the Menae get to babysit all the childre

Bronx’s POV“Happy Birthday, Princess. How is Daddy’s sweet girl?” I pick Maya up and tuck her into my arm when I see her waddle out of the bedroom. Her long mousy brown hair is tangled on top of her head and the sleep is still thick in her eyes. “Where’s Mommy and Dre?”“Dey snuggle in big bed.” She leans her head against me and yawns with a growl. “Maya hungry, Daddy.”“Oh, well, good news. I got your eggs with sausage bits and toast and strawberry jam.” I kiss her cheek.“No, Daddy.” She scowls and points at the plate. “Maya want birfday cake.”“Birthday cake is later, Princess. You have to have breakfast first, so you’ll grow big and strong.” I pick the plate up and take her to the table. Instead of making her sit in her booster seat, I let her sit on my lap and help her with the tiny fork. “We’re going to celebrate with your friends. Katie will be there and Inez, Mandie, and Codi. Does that sound good?”“Can’t we let her have cake now AND later?” Saint whines. If it were up to hi
