Lunarcrossed Chapter 20- Sloane
It’s still a couple hours from when my alarm will ring, but after what happened with Basil, I can’t fall back asleep. I replay it in my mind and only end up feeling worse. It’s official, I’m a bitch, perhaps unlovable, and I will likely die alone. Even my sweet little boy will grow up and leave his mama someday to live a life of his own. I’m not ready to face any other aspects of my life at the moment, so I leave my bed only to grab some ice cream, and my tears flavor the pint. I curl back up under my sheets and eat the whole damn thing. I hug my stuffed bumble bee to my chest as if I was ten again. If Mom could see me now, she’d be disappointed, especially since I stain my sheets with the chocolate. She always liked things clean and orderly. The older I get, the more I miss her, and find myself needing her more and more than I did when I was little. So many things we never got to talk about, so many questions I never got to ask her, advice on how to bring down a newborn’s fever quic
Lunarcrossed Chapter 21- Slade
I look back towards the end of the bar where I last left the feral and his intended next victim. I curse several words Iris wouldn’t be proud of when I notice they are both already gone. I hope I’m not too late. It will be damn near impossible to track their scents if they left by vehicle unlike out in the open. Not to mention, the wolfsbane has tempered my tracking abilities tonight. I might have to rely on more than just my wolf senses and go by my gut, training, and instincts to save the girl. I thank the moon when I spot them both in the parking lot. She stumbles along in her heels, laughing, as he leads her by the elbow towards his truck, and opens the door for her. Poor girl has no idea what she is getting herself into. Well, at least if I wasn’t here to bail her out. I pretend to be drunk as I stagger up towards the truck and lean in against her open window.“Hey darlin’, nice night ain’t it,” I tell her in a southern drawl.She giggles and flips her blonde mane off her should
Lunarcrossed Chapter 22- Sloane
Eighteen months past the time my first love broke my heart, I decided to put myself out there again, and give it another shot. Or rather help me get over Mace by getting under someone else. The father of my son had been my first everything. Well almost, because I had a crush on his brother Slade first, but that was puppy love, and nothing more. And well Slade stayed gone and never came back.The second wolf I went out with, Blaze Ironside, wasn’t on the same page as me, he wasn’t even in the same damn book. He was one of the worst mistakes I ever made. Blaze pretended he was only looking for casual sex and nothing more, like I was, but about a month in, I got some major red flags when he let his controlling, possessive asshole shine through. The mid-level beta thought himself superior to most in the pack, myself included. Sure, he has a big dick, and is hot as sin, but everything else about him sucks. He wasn’t looking for a partner to have a good time with and pass some lonely nights
Lunarcrossed Chapter 23- Slade
I took too much wolfsbane to get my mate out of my head and now I’m paying the price. I’m healing at the rate of a human, which is not really at all, I’ve lost too much blood, and I feel dizzy by the time I make it back to my truck. The girl is nowhere to be found at least, but I get more than one stare from a drunk couple in the parking lot. I’m now shirtless, choosing to use the fabric to wrap around my arm to help staunch the wound, and bathed in blood. I ignore their asking if I’m alright, and talk of calling an ambulance, and tear out of the parking lot in a blaze of smoke and burnt rubber. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the rogue’s body is found. When the cops run his prints and DNA, they’ll get a hit connecting him to his string of rape victims across several states. There’s no camera in the lot of the bar, and only a couple witnesses see me exiting the desert, in bad lighting, so I’m not worried about being identified and pinned to the crime. As far as I’m concern

Chapter 24- Sloane As I dress, I don’t bother to wipe off the steam from the mirror because I already know how awful I look. Every time I cry, my face looks like the marshmallow man, and stays puffy for hours after. I sigh and pull out my make up kit though I infrequently wear it. I usually save it for our girls night out with Lark and Willow, and an occasional special occasion like a Birthday Party for an adult of the pack. I do it for myself to boost my sometimes fragile confidence. But most of the time, I just don’t care because what you see is what you get, and most of the mateless wolves here are after my uterus, not my face. Trying to date a human guy from my college campus is just too much of a logistical nightmare I don’t feel like dealing with. Not only are wolves territorial over their females, they are also naturally leery of outsiders. I would never be able to get a human dude onto pack lands undetected, and with wolves sniffing around, getting all up in our private busin
Lunarcrossed Chapter 25- Sloane
The answers come to me, and I complete my test fairly confident I didn’t bomb it. My microbiology class passes without a hitch, as we look at lifeforms under the microscopes, that grew in our petri dishes. Last week’s class, the professor made us take a swab sample of a commonly touched surface and see what grew from it. Just looking at the nasty bacteria that flourished in my dish from the handle of the school’s water fountain, made me thank the moon I threw out my birth control this morning after it’s dip in the porcelain throne.I’m excited when class lets out and I rush back to Shadow Ridge to see my baby. I talk to Iris for a few moments to see how his day went, she assures me he was a little angel, but I don’t think she would tell me even if he hadn’t behaved himself. Alder is out, not that I mind, because things feel a bit tense at times with my child’s grandfather. Maybe it’s because he’s not a very social wolf and tends to keep to himself. But sometimes I feel like the head be
Lunarcrossed Chapter 26- Sloane
Blaze is up to his old tricks again. He’s crossed a fucking line, outside of packlands watching me, in his wolf form, in a suburb of Portland, at my job. Further proof of my theory comes from the too-large wolf tracks I see out in the grass. I won’t stand for this. This has to stop, especially when his actions terrorize a frail old man and risk exposure of the pack. I’ll bring this matter up with Alpha Fennel, or my favorite Ironclaws to give the aggressive Beta, with serious boundary issues, another getting right with the moon talk.I can’t blame my client for being uneasy after what he saw. It doesn’t make my job tonight any easier and takes twice the time to get him settled. I have to prove to him all the windows in his room are locked, the curtains shut tight, several times. I have to give him tea and a dose of his melatonin and anxiety medications. I listen patiently to his ramblings of how the wolves stole his only daughter and she never came back. When I first started here las
Lunarcrossed Chapter 27-Slade
I ran from my mate again like a coward with my tail tucked between my legs. But this time, I was not just trying to run away from her to avoid the fate the moon has made for me, but also because I do not want my mate to watch me die. Because I feel inside of me things are broken, and I do not feel I can be put back together again in more ways than one. I do not want her to break watching me pass from this life into the spirit world. I will not get the honor of joining the moon in the sky, because I will die a coward’s death, like I so deserve. I am truly broken now that I have finally been reunited with my mate and my time on this Earth is nearly over. My last thoughts are of her. And all the things I missed out on by rejecting our mating bond. I will never know the feel of her body against mine outside of our dreams, the press of her sweet lips atop mine, fall asleep making love to her, and awake with her in my arms the next morning, never see the way the sunlight shines in her blac
