Luna of the Menae Chapter 135
As soon as we leave the salon, I head straight to the fourth floor and make a beeline for Milo’s office before Kas can see me. You know, before she can see Maya.I knock on his office door and wait until I hear him answer back. I step inside and put Maya down.“Hey Bro. What’s up?” Milo looks up from his paperwork. “Maya! How’s my gir- Maya? What happened to your hair?”Maya runs behind his desk and climbs on his lap. She rubs her hands over the freshly buzzed sides of her head. “Maya got haircut like Uncle Milo! I pretty now.”“Well, you’re always pretty, Maya, but what do you mean ‘Like Uncle Milo’?” He rubs the back of his neck, trying to understand her. You can practically see the light bulb turn on. “Y-you mean when I was a teenager?”“Like da picture.” Maya pouts at him. “Miss Nanny showed me.”“Maya wanted a haircut for her birthday.” I help decipher. “We just came from seeing Annie in the salon. We couldn’t figure out what kind of haircut Maya wanted until she saw a picture of

“You ready to show Mommy your new haircut?” I set Maya down and smile at her.“Yeah. I show Dre too.” She hops on her toes. “He say Maya pretty. He like Uncle Milo haircut.”I pause before I open the door. The twins are deeply connected, but she says it like Dre already knows. “Maybe they are psychic?” Saint wonders out loud.“Maybe?” I hum. “It might be worth asking the Doc.”Maya rushes into the room. Only a few kids are there so far playing in the corner while Kas, Ashley, and Delilah finish setting up. Marybeth and Elisa are arranging platters of food. I stay close to the door in case I need to make a run for it. Maya runs up to Kas. She holds up her drawing, excited to share it. “MAMA!! Look at da picture! I maked it!”Kas looks down with a big grin, but when she sees Maya, her face drops. “M-Maya… your hair…”“Yeah, Mama. Maya pretty now. LOOK!” Maya holds the picture up. “I maked dis!”Ashley and Delilah stop what they’re doing. Ashley’s eyes grow wide and Delilah gasps at Ma

“Heph, can you please explain this invoi- holy shit? What is that thing?” I drop my hands to the side and gawk at the giant contraption that looks like an elevated treadmill on steroids. The trainers are standing close by, trying to figure out how to orient a massive harness. They all stop and bow when they see me.“We need a more accurate way to clock Elexis’s speed.” He puts down a wrench and turns his seat toward me. “I need to disarm the automatons until she reaches the target, but if they are down too long, it will raise suspicion.”“Automatons?” I shake my head. “Will they attack Kas too?”“Not if Elexis makes it inside in time.” He goes back to his work. That isn’t comforting at all.“So this is a way to clock her speed?” I step closer to the machine. “How does it work?”“It’s based on a device I saw online that they used to exercise dogs. Humans sure love capturing stupid shit on video, don’t they?” He chuckles and turns on a headlamp to see what he’s doing. “The invoice you h

Kas’s POV“Lex, you didn’t have to growl at him.” I try to talk sense into her as she trots away from the training pavilion. “He’s trying to help.”“I tried my hardest, and it wasn’t good enough, Kas.” She sulks, moving deeper into the woods.“Okay, but like the trainers said, we have two and a half years to work up to where we need to be.” I try to console her, but her feelings are already hurt. Lex doesn’t get genuinely offended often, but Hephaestus reminding her that this is life and death plucked a nerve. “No one expects you to be perfect the first time out. What’s gotten into you?”“Life and death, Kas.” She murmurs. “That doesn’t just mean ours. It could be our mate and our pups, too. Just give me time to think, please. I need to clear my mind.”“Alright. I’m here when you’re ready to talk.” I mumble, trying to push away her anger. “Don’t go too far. That hip is going to get real sore, real quick.”I let myself fall back and give Lex privacy while she works through whatever she

“Iokaste, my dear little dog girl!” She coos at me in her deep velvet tone. “I wanted to make amends. The last time we saw each other was a bit… staticky.” “Staticky?” Her choice of words catches me off guard. “You threatened me with an electrified whip! You’ve continued to harass the children of my pack and you tried to interfere with my mother’s fated bond between one of the Menae and her mate!” “And you burned my face. So we’re even.” She waves her hand dismissively gives me a not so innocent smile. “Water under the bridge. Hmm?” “She’s bat shit crazy, Kas.” Lex says in awe. “We have to get out of here.” “Let me handle this, Lex.” “Aphrodite, again, why did you summon me?” I keep a low stance in case she attacks. “And now that I think of it, why was there no phone crackling connection this time?” “Oh, dearest, I’ve upgraded! Fiber optics have changed my life! It doesn’t matter what realm you’re in, a goddess has to stay on the latest trends, now, doesn’t she?” She gushes and

“Mommy, I here.” A sweet little voice whispers loudly in my ear. “You wake up for snuggles?”I take a deep breath of that deep forest pine scent I love so much and open my eyes. Dre is laying across me, playing with the ends of my hair. His big green eyes are giving me a pleading look that brightens when he sees me smile at him.“Andreas, my sweet little wolf.” My voice is scratchy and dry. I swallow back tears and shut my eyes tight. Every inch of my body hurts, but I don’t want him to see me cry. That I’m not dead allows relief to flood me. My baby can smother my all he wants. I wrap my arms around him and kiss his forehead. “Yes, my darling, we can snuggle. How long was Mommy asleep?”“The doctor said bringing the kids would help when you woke up.” Bronx says from a loveseat next to the hospital bed. He looks tired and relieved. Maya is leaning on his shoulder, sound asleep, with half an orange slice in her hand. Bronx gets up and lays Maya on the chair, then comes over to the bed.

Bronx’s POV“Alright, now that Kas and her sisters are out of the room, there’s something else I want to discuss with everyone.” I stand up and nod to Carly. She opens a folder and passes sheets out to everyone. “Endymion. Now known as Andy Latmus Briland. We found him.”Arrow looks at his paper and back at me. “King Endymion? He’s been reincarnated?”“The one and only. Right here in Montana.” I sigh and sit back down. “He was born to a werebear, werewolf hybrid who is mated to a human, but the child is one hundred percent werewolf. His father, Dave, says when his wife, Shelly, was pregnant, a Native American God and a beautiful blonde-haired woman came to him in a dream and told him the baby’s name. Andy has genetic markers similar to all the Menae that would indicate he is: aye, a god, and bee, their father.”“Selene has far-reaching influence and genetics don’t lie.” Heph rubs his grimy hand over the thick scruff of his chin. “So it’s really him. Now what? What is it to us?”“This

"Hey people, time to close shop. Report to your trainers." I clap my hands to get everyone's attention in the weightroom. "Let them know I said you can finish your sets later today."As everyone racks their weights and files out, Arrow stops and shakes Milo’s hand, then claps him on the shoulder casually. "Mister Stone, when you're done, I have some suggestions for improvements to shooting range training. No hurry. I'll catch up to you in the dining hall.""The shooting range?" Milo looks confused. "Thaaat’s Ashley’s area, but, uh, yeah sure. I’ll find you before dinner."“Great. I’ll get Maisy to join us.” Arrow smiles and shakes Milo’s hand again.”“Sorry to interrupt.” The reporter gives them a polite smile, then introduces himself to Arrow. "Sean Hormell. Nice to meet you.""Arrow Khe." Arrow gives the man a slight bow, but doesn't shake his hand. "Nice to meet you.""Khe? Are you related to THE Maisy Khe?" The reporter's eyes brighten. “The psychiatrist?”"You believe you mean, D
