Chapter 13 - That bastard!

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-18 15:08:30

Lyra

I catch a glimpse of Ben as he discreetly moves away, and I frown as I look at Silas. I’m not happy about having guards again, but I can understand why he is so protective.

“I take it that you had fun.” I really wish I was one of them. I can just imagine the freedom they must feel. The power to be able to run at those speeds.

“Yeah, running is always fun. Are you okay? Do you need anything?” He frowns, and I’m surprised yet again by how attentive he is. Eli was never this attentive, but it could just be because I’m pregnant. I shake my head, and we just sit there in silence for a couple of minutes while the pack chats about the run.

“Time to go to bed. You need your rest.” After most of them have dispersed, Silas gets up and holds out his hand for me.

“What if I don’t feel like …” I yawn, making him smile, and I roll my eyes as I take his hand. “Okay fine. I’ll go to bed.” I’m not showing yet, but I can feel that my body is changing. I’ve been really tired the past two days, and

    Lyra“I’m sorry! I don’t even know why I’m crying.” I find my voice after Silas hands me a box of tissues. Wiping my face, I realize that I must look awful, but he sits down beside me looking so concerned that I completely forget about what I might look like.“It’s okay. I’ve told you. You are safe here.” Silas frowns. “I’m the one that should be sorry. I was just so excited that I didn’t think of how that kind of news might hurt you.”“I don’t want it to, but it does.” I shrug and sigh deeply, feeling a bit awkward under the circumstances. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt your meeting. We can have our lesson when you have some time.” I’m about to get up when his hand softly grips my arm.“You can never interrupt me. Besides, we have something important to discuss.” I see a lot of emotions cross his eyes as he seemingly tries to find the words to say whatever it is that he has to say. I patiently wait.“I want us to sign a contract. One that will protect both our rights. With re

    Lyra“I’m so damn sick and tired of this!” I pull away from Silas. “What is it with werewolf men? Women aren’t porcelain dolls, you know? We actually know how to take care of ourselves.” I glare at him feeling furious.“I know that.” He sighs. “I just meant that as the alpha of the pack, it is my duty to request your transfer. That is the law.” I can swear that I see a smile start to form in the corners of his mouth, but he looks away for a moment and when he looks at me again, it’s gone.“Oh. Fine.” I sigh feeling really silly. “It doesn’t change the fact that your laws are really stupid.” I puff and he laughs this time. “How long do you think all of this will take?” I frown.“We can find that out right now.” Silas smiles and makes his way around his desk. He picks up the phone and calls Eli. I recognize the voice of that traitorous woman instantly, and I have to fight the urge to scream at her when she tells Silas that Eli is busy and will call back.It’s hardly five minutes later w

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 16 - Myth or fact?

    LyraImages of that first night flood my mind when Silas takes off his t-shirt and I can see his muscles move. My insides pull together tightly, and all I can think about is feeling him inside me. His hands slip over my body and within minutes we are naked on the couch.His kisses literally burn my skin, and I note that I can smell things I have never smelled before. It is as though Silas has woken something inside me, or it could just be my imagination. When he slides between my legs, I moan and when he enters me, I feel as if I’m being transported to a wonderland of feelings.I have no idea how long it lasts, but each move is indescribable. Each touch sends me spiraling into bliss. When we finally reach our climax, I cry out his name and the moment we stop, I feel my cheeks burn. Honestly, I never knew it could be like that.My fear, however, is that I might be looking and sounding like a very inexperienced lover, and I don’t know if that is such a good thing. It’s probably what mad

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 17 - Shacking up ...

    LyraI don’t have a lot of time to ponder the possibility that I might be a Lycan when we get news that Eli is at Silas’s border. What could he possibly be doing here? I look at Silas and he sighs. He lets Eli cross the border, but under strict rules to guard them carefully.I feel uncomfortable the moment Eli walks into Silas’s office. My mind is still on what Silas told me. Who I could possibly be. It makes me wonder if Eli knows. Has he known all along? Is that why he basically chased after me?“So, you did decide to shack up with him?” Eli growls, but for once, I’m not affected by it. I keep his gaze. Nobody is ready to take a seat and discuss why Eli decided to show up here uninvited. “Your silence says it all.” His fury flashes and in an instant, Silas is standing between me and Eli.“What do you want, Eli?” Silas growls, and I feel how thick the tension is in the air. Eli tries to sidestep Silas, but Silas is too fast for him.“I came to speak to my wife alone. I don’t trust yo

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 18 - I'm a Lycan!

    LyraI can’t bring myself to tell Silas why I’ve been so sick. It’s not just morning sickness. According to the doctor, it could be because of stress. I can’t tell Silas that I’m stressed out because he will try to fix it. He seems the type that would just take over and try to fix things.The doctor wants to keep me overnight with a drip to make sure I get something in, and after a good night’s sleep, I wake up in the morning to find Silas fast asleep on the only chair in the room. He is still holding my hand and I can’t help but smile.How did I get so lucky? I wonder as I watch the sleeping man beside me. Even if he never loves me. He is handsome, and he seems kind. He is also strong, and won’t just let anyone walk all over him. The best part of it all is that we are going to share a child, which means I know that my baby will be taken care of.“Good morning, beautiful.” His voice interrupts my thoughts and I giggle when I see the crinkles on his cheek from the sheet. “How are you f

    LyraI feel so incredibly overwhelmed that I have a real tough time keeping up with the history lesson, but the part I did catch was that a Lycan’s curse is only activated once they kill someone. I never killed anybody.“I know that it’s a lot to take in.” Silas smiles and I note the kindness in his eyes. He rubs the sides of my arms, and it calms me down a little.“Ya think?” I roll my eyes. “I’m one of you, but I’m not. My parents probably left me in the orphanage to protect me, and I have to kill someone to get my powers that may or may not protect our baby.” I run through it all and then my eyes grow wide.“What about the baby? Will I have to leave him or her at an orphanage?” My voice wavers as tears form a huge knot in the back of my throat.“No! I don’t know what your parents’ circumstances were. Yet. Look, Lycans don’t need packs the same way that werewolves do. They probably didn’t have a pack to protect them. You have one. Our pup has one, no matter what he is.” I know that

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 20 - Life goes on ... It has to.

    LyraThe one thing that keeps on bugging me is the fact that I have to kill someone to get my power. Apparently, it can also be by accident, but still. That isn’t something I would ever be able to do. I sigh and turn to my other side and stare out of the window at the sky as it slowly changes from day to night.The omega appears to inform me that dinner is ready and as I make my way downstairs, I can feel everyone looking at me. I wonder for a moment if there is something on my face. Silas pulls me into an embrace as soon as I join them in the communal dining room and he smiles.“I know that you’ve all been wondering about Luna Lyra. She has asked for asylum and I’ve granted it. You should all know that she is carrying my pup. It’s not what we planned, but it happened.” Silas beamed, and I’m surprised by the reaction as people shout out congratulations.“Unfortunately, she is still legally married to Alpha Eli. I need all of you to protect her the same way you would protect me. You kn

    LyraAfter getting a couple of outfits that would also work when my stomach starts to grow, we return home. Each time I refused to get something, Elise insisted, so I got far more than I planned on. After helping the omega to pack my things away, I go in search of Silas and find him in his office.“Hey beautiful, did you have a good time?” He smiles brightly and gets up. In one swift move, he closes the gap between us and pulls me closer, leaving a soft kiss on my forehead. I think for a moment what a lovely gesture it is, and my cheeks turn bright red.“Yes, thank you. Elise and I had a difference in opinion of what is necessary and what extravagant is, but I had fun.” I laugh when he grins at me.“As long as you didn’t come home empty-handed. I also want you to start thinking about the nursery and what you want to change. It definitely needs a new coat of paint, and I was looking at cribs online.” He grabs my hand and as soon as he is seated behind his desk, he pulls me onto his lap

    JemmaSadly, I’m forced to turn around and go back inside.“I need my things from my locker.” Sam follows me as I walk right past Mr. Nash and almost shout it over my shoulder. I’ve already quit. What is he going to do? Fire me?! I storm into the change room at the back and stuff everything into my bag.It is astounding that I have collected so much in such a short time, and by the time I’m done, my bag is positively bursting, and I can’t even close the zipper. I turn around too fast and slam the bag into Sam’s chest by accident.“Sorry.” I look into his eyes only for a second as relief floods my body. At least it wasn’t my chest that slammed into him. He takes the bag from me and hands it to the man that always seems to be following him. It’s probably a bodyguard or something.“Do you need to do anything else?” Sam looks amused. “You know? Before we leave and have to come back again.” His amusement is irritating, and I shake my head, keeping my lips pursed tightly together so I don’t

    SamI follow the direction of her gaze as she pushes past me. I’m not surprised to find that thin-lipped manager glaring at us, and it’s the final straw. Marching over to where he is standing, I make sure that he can feel my power flow through the air.“Mr. Nash, I intend on asking Jemma out on a date as soon as we’ve booked out tomorrow. I will also make sure that we never have our conferences here again, if you so much as think about firing her.” A soft growl vibrates through me and I note the fear in his eyes.He nods and leaves without a word. I turn to find Jemma, but she is gone. I wanted to take the chance of asking her for a dance, but each time I do see her, she is busy. The last thing I want is for anyone here to be neglected.I’m relieved when the night ends. All I can think about is signing for the bill and then finding Jemma.JemmaI saw them talking right before I walked into the kitchen. My heart is racing. My palms are sweaty and I just need a moment.

    SamI don’t like that she looks so nervous. I don’t have time to think about it as the other alphas walk into the conference room. I carefully watch them to make sure none of them react to her scent and I almost breathe a sigh when I see it seems to be just me.“Hey, alpha, are you okay?” Mark hands me my folder and we take our seats.“Nope.” I frown as the meeting gets underway. I have a hard time focusing. I’m concerned about Jemma and the fact that she looked so nervous. It’s clear the hotel management makes sure that their staff don’t get involved with guests, and I guess it makes sense.I just don’t like to see her like that. I have to find a way to speak to her without any of them around. Yes, that’s what I will do. I will speak to her when I’m not a guest. It’s going to be really tough to stay away while we are here, but I have another twenty-four hours, and then I won’t be a guest anymore.JemmaI’m relieved when he doesn’t try to speak to me again.

    Jemma“I hate conferences. Why can’t people just come to the hotel for a holiday?” Mandy complains. She always complains. When there are only holiday guests, she complains because she can’t earn enough to be the one just enjoying the hotel.“Just keep your eyes open. I’m sure one of these guys at the conference will catch your eye.” I wink, hoping it will distract her.“If only! Mr. Nash told me this morning I’m working in the restaurant for the next three days. Apparently, he wasn’t happy with the way I arranged the conference room the last time these guys were here.” Mandy sighs.“Besides, all of them have been here before. There are no new faces.” A sly smile crosses her lips. “Or bodies to look at. Have you seen how their wives dress?!” She rolls her eyes and leaves the kitchen. I grab my tray and pack the water bottles before making my way to the conference room.After giving the room a quick once over, I leave feeling confident that Mr. Nash will be happy.

    SamOur pack’s history is filled with love stories and war. It is filled with betrayal and reconciliation. So much has happened that I sometimes feel as if my own love story won’t be enough. It won’t be as impressive. Thankfully, I don’t have much time to think about it.Becoming alpha isn’t easy. Taking over isn’t easy. Finding a mate is the toughest part of it all. Every mother keeps looking at me as if expecting me to pick her daughter and every daughter is looking at me as if I’m a piece of meat she has to devour.All I can see are black widow spiders who want to catch me, mate with me and then kill me! What was supposed to be an exciting time very quickly turned into me trying to hide from literally everyone. Whenever one of those mothers tries to speak to me, I have something urgent to take care of.Finally, the time comes for the alpha conference, and I can escape for a couple of days. After years of war, there seems to be far too many rogues and rogue attacks and a lot of the

    Noah“If you are watching this, I’m no longer with you.” Tears fill her eyes and it breaks my heart. “I told you so!” She laughs while pointing her index finger at the camera. “I’m sorry for leaving you so soon, my love. If I could have it any other way, I would never have chosen this.” She sighs deeply before wiping away her tears.A huge smile forms on her face and I wonder when she recorded this. She is heavily pregnant in the video and all I can think is that she did it in the days before she gave birth to Sam. She is sitting in the nursery from the looks of the background.Sam sits down on the edge of my table and I realize it’s the first time he has seen her like this. Sam has only ever seen pictures of Summer.“My beautiful baby boy, please know that you were made in love. That I wanted you more than anything I’ve ever wanted. Please be kind to each other. Support each other. Take care of each other.” She looks up and over the camera and nods at someone.“I have to go now.” Her

    SummerI love being in love. I’m still shocked that Noah is my destiny, but I’m grateful. Although he makes it clear that I’m his, whenever a young male gets too close, he is always kind and loving towards me. It’s the perfect balance of a protector and lover rolled into one very handsome package.Noah and I decide early on that we want to spend some time alone together before we start a family. It’s not the most popular decision, and we keep it to ourselves, so there won’t be backlash from anyone in the pack.Life as a Luna is interesting, and I find myself sounding like my mother far too often, but I love my new life. I find that I’m more of a nurturer than I thought I would be, and I love taking care of things for our people.Two years after our mating ceremony, we announce that I’m pregnant, and I can’t help but laugh when I hear the mumbles that people were beginning to think I was a dud or something. They clearly believed that I couldn’t have children, and our announcement is a

    SummerIn the morning, I can’t get our first kiss out of my mind. There were many more after it, but nothing compares to that first one. We say goodbye to my parents after making arrangements for them to come to our house.Over the next couple of days, my days are filled with everything we had to arrange. I found the perfect dress, and to me that was just the best thing ever. The day of our mating ceremony arrived, and I was just bubbling.I thought my life was going to start when I graduated, but here I was thinking again, that this is the moment my life will finally start. After an entire day of preparation, I finally got dressed and my dad walked me down the aisle.As I saw Noah waiting for me at the end, I almost sobbed with happiness and I had to fight back the tears that were threatening to fall. I still can’t believe that my destined mate is scrawny Noah. It’s become our little joke, and I just love that he isn’t fazed by it.He isn’t scrawny Noah anymore. He sure as hell isn’t

    SummerWhen I’m woken by the smell of coffee, I’m stunned. I have never slept that well before. I feel a little confused at first about where I am, but it doesn’t take more than a second to remember. I wonder if Noah slept beside me the entire time.“Thanks.” I smile as he hands me the mug and I take a long sip, enjoying the aroma. “What time is it?” I frown, suddenly worried that I might have wasted too much time and won’t get to my homework before dinner.“We only slept for an hour. You still have a lot of time.” Noah pulls my books out of my bag and places them on the table, making me laugh. I get up and am relieved that I didn’t sleep for hours. While I dig into my homework, he is lying on my bed studying the ceiling.“Aren’t you bored? Don’t you have work to do or something?” I turn to study him and he grins.“Nope and nope. Dad is in charge.” He sits up and smiles at me, sending a shiver of delight up the back of my spine. Honestly, I love being in love. I know it’s fast and all
