Luna of the Menae Chapter 148
After authorities found Katherine Santoro and an unknown native woman’s naked bodies mauled to death by wolves in a thicket of woods in Mongolia six years ago, I acquired her company as quickly as possible. I thought full access to Santoro Enterprises would be a way to find the Menae who had all but disappeared off the face of the Earth. More than half of them were working for the company until they all suddenly abandoned their posts. Since then, I have hired all of them back at a significant pay increase.These days, Tyree’s mate, Sondi, is their financial advisor through the MasonCo HR department. She has helped them all set up bank accounts with legitimate financial institutions and has shown them ways to save and invest their salaries so they will remain financially stable throughout their extended lifetimes instead of having to be tethered to Katherine’s finances. Last week, Darius Cirillo, a member of Sondi’s old pack and owner of Cirillo Logistics, emailed me directly. As his

Kas’s POVMaybe if I don’t open my eyes, it won’t be my birthday. If I just lay here in bed and try to stop time for the entire Earth, it will never happen. I’ll be able to save everyone from danger.“We both know that’s not how it works, Kas.” Lex’s voice is soothing. “Let’s just try to enjoy today. I’m really excited to see Saint tonight for the pack run.”“I know you are, darling.” I sigh. “The thought of intentionally creating a wedge between the Menae and myself is just… I don’t know… unsettling, I guess.”“Mommy?” Dre’s voice makes my heart beat harder.“How’s my sweet boy?” I roll over and smile at him, grateful for the distraction. He always sleeps in his bedroom, but he still likes to come to snuggle with me on the weekends. “Wanna hang out with me?”“Yes, please.” His face lights up and he runs across the room. I lift the duvet up for him to crawl underneath. He gives me a hug then reaches up to play with my hair. He looks confused. “Happy birthday, Mommy. How old are you no

“Blech!” Leticia scrunches her face. “Delilah, why is it so bitter? Don’t you know werewolves have heightened senses? That includes taste.”“My apologies, Leticia.” Delilah frowns. “The ingredient that makes it taste pleasant also makes the potion last longer, so I had to leave it out.”Klay nips at Leticia’s shoulder and whispers in her ear. She turns her head toward him and smiles before she gives him a deep kiss.Bronx drinks his potion in one gulp and cringes. “Echh. This is worse than cheap bourbon, Delilah.”I plug my nose and drink mine. It burns and tastes bitter like fermented juice. It takes everything in me to not spit it out. “Ugh. Delilah, can you make the next one not be so pungent?”“As long as there is a next one.” Lex says, not so cryptically.“I’ll see what I can do. Um, so, Leticia and I have a gift for you.” Delilah quickly changes the subject. “Well, for you and Bronx. It’s still your birthday and technically your anniversary. And the summer solstice is when we ce

“Tell me you want me.” He growls into my ear and nips at my neck. His breath is heavy as he grabs my ass tighter. “It’s been too long.”“I want you, Bronx.” The desire in his voice makes butterflies flutter in my belly, but something feels off. I let my hands slide to the back of his neck and extend my claws to scrape him while leaning my cheek against his.Why isn’t our mate bond stronger? It has to be my imagination. I’m getting in my own head. Right? No. I need to trust my instincts. Something isn’t right.Bronx whisks me to the bed and lays me down.“I, oh-” He pauses, then slowly works his way down my body, letting his nose take in my scent while dragging his claws lightly down my sides. His kisses feel rushed and desperate. I feel so confused. Why doesn’t this feel right? This is Bronx. This is my mate. We’ve been together countless times. When he reaches my abdomen, he pauses and grips my waist tighter. I look down and see him rest his forehead just below my belly button and

I close my eyes and relax in Bronx’s arms, letting the quiet engulf us.“Why don’t we get you upstairs and find a change of clothes?” Bronx whispers before I fall asleep. He holds the silky fabric of my lingerie in his fingers. “This probably isn’t how you should pop up at home.”“Mmm. You’re probably right.” I sigh.I try to stand up, but Bronx scoops me into his arms and carries me bridal style up the stairs. He makes it seem as effortless as when we first met.“Remember the first time we went to Paris? It was our honeymoon. I showed you the apartment before they finished construction to get your mind off of the jewelry store robbery.” He nuzzles my ear while he climbs the stairs. I can feel the smile on his lips. “It scared me to take you out of the hotel room, but you insisted you wanted to see it.”“Yeah. I remember. Can you believe it’s been eight years now?” I giggle, thinking back to the day I walked around the bare apartment in awe.“I sat on the empty bedroom floor watching

A soft chime cuts through the silence. I’m pretty sure it’s part of a dream, but it grows louder and sounds like Delilah’s laugh. Bronx stirs and pulls me tighter against his naked body.“Mon ami!” Delilah’s disembodied voice fills the air. “It’s time.”I open my eyes and push my bangs back so I can look around. We’re still in the apartment. There are no clocks here, so I don’t know how long it’s been, but it feels like hours. Maybe even all night. The light emanating from the window is dim, barely illuminating the room. Is it sunset or sunrise?“That must be our ride home.” Bronx murmurs into my hair. “Mmm.” I nestle myself further into his embrace. “Very Delilah to send a warning shot so we can get dressed. Leticia would have transported us to the dining room in the middle of breakfast.”“Yeah, that’s our girl. I’m glad Delilah is involved.” He kisses my temple and untangles his legs from mine. “You stay here. I’ll see what I can find to wear in the closet.” The space next to me m

“Three? Don’t be stupid, Tisha. We only have two-“ Bronx stops short and looks at me in disbelief. “Kas? A-are you…”“Yeah, but I didn’t know until just now. I swear.” I hold my hands up to my mouth and nod with a sob. “What are we going to do?”In a flash, I’m in his arms. He hugs me tight and whispers soothing words in my ear. I can feel how happy he is. It makes our auras glow around us. He takes a step back, but trips on the sword and tumbles backwards. He can’t let me go in time, so he breaks my fall with his body and lays back, pulling me on top of him.“We’re going to thank the Goddess. That’s what we’re going to do. We’re having another baby.” He laughs and kisses me square on the lips. “Fuck everything else, Kas. This is the best news ever.”The shock of the realization melts away when I see how happy he is. I laugh with him while he wipes my tears away. “We’re going to have another baby.”Bronx puts his nose against my neck and takes a deep breath. “One that smells like berr

“Luna, Tyree has the truck ready for you. Mrs. Khan and Mr. Rawls excused the twins and Andy from class. Marco is taking them downstairs and Diane is helping to get them all in their booster seats.” Marybeth comes into my office with a bright smile. “Clash and Ghost are going to run alongside the truck so the kids can sit in the back and you can sit in the front. The Alpha already shifted. Saint’s probably halfway up the mountain by now.”“Okay. Thank you for helping organize everything, Marybeth.” I give her a tired smile and rest my hand on my swollen belly. “You hear that, baby girl? We get to see Papa Saint today.”A hard kick makes me grimace and groan. Tavi has been so active in the past couple of weeks. Her favorite pastime is jumping on my bladder. Only two more weeks to go and she’ll finally be here. I can’t wait to meet her.At the end of September, I had to stop scrimmaging and switched to cardio and light weights to stay in shape.
