My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 21 : Is This Your First Time?
**Aria POV"My son seems to have grown fond of you," Henry said one night.I was administering his treatment and collecting blood samples for further investigation into his disease."Does it seem that way?" I asked, trying to pass as clueless.Henry could see right through me, of course, and laughed."There is no need for secrecy, Aria," he chuckled. "You and I are not really married, seeing as how the certificate states that I am married to Arianna Avaroux. However, I must implore you to be careful; this charade must still be maintained for a while longer.""I'll keep my guard up," I assured him, seeing no reason to lie anymore.I packed up my things and bid him goodnight. Exiting the room, I ran into Noah, who was waiting in the hallway."You know you can go in and see him from time to time," I said to him, making my way back to my office.Noah shrugged as he walked with me. "Dad and I have never had a close relationship; it's always been business between us," he ex
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 22 : Missing
Days had passed since Noah and I shared our night of passion and love, but I was plagued with nausea and pain every time I thought positively about it or about him. What could possibly be wrong with me?A sharp pain thundered through my skull and the beginning of a theory was suddenly gone. I found myself losing my train of thought recently. I tried to write things down before I forgot, but barely managed to scribble down one word before it was wiped from my brain.The most painful part, however, was avoiding Noah. It had been such an easy feat when he and I were still at odds with each other, but now it was an impossibility unless I remained in my office.My phone buzzed constantly and was now filled with unread texts from Noah. I was too afraid to read what he sent, too afraid that any good feeling I had about him would be interrupted by bouts of sickness and violent pain.Every so often he would knock on my door, begging me to open and talk to him. But I just remained
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 23 : A Serious Accusation
I roared in frustration, throwing the computer across the room, where it smashed into tiny pieces. Three days and still there was no sign of Aria, not a hint nor a rumor nor a whisper. I had utilized every contact and intelligence network at my disposal, but to no avail.Even Atlas, with his vast networks in the city underground, had come up with nothing. What made it even harder was that I didn't know if I was looking for Arianna or Aria. The information that I put out was for Aria, but there was a chance that she might still be using her Avaroux illusion."Dammit!" I cursed. I slammed my fist against the table, nearly cracking it in half."Easy there, big guy," Atlas chimed, "that's the third laptop you owe me. I don't want to have to replace my furniture as well.""Sorry," I grumbled. "Just add it to my bill.""At least I know you can afford me," Atlas muttered. "I put out feelers in Lunar Valley. If she left Romulus, then that's the first place she'd go. I think she
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 24 : Chris Is Telling the Truth
"Aria!" I exclaimed, both in rage and relief. While I was glad to see she was alive, I was appalled that she was literally in the grasp of Chris Hansen."That's Henry Bergmann's wife," someone whispered."What is she doing with Hansen?""Could he really have kidnapped her?""She doesn't look kidnapped or held hostage to me."The Council President hit his gavel upon the table, soliciting silence from the crowd. "Alpha Chris Hansen!" his voice boomed in plain irritation. "This meeting started twenty minutes ago! You have the audacity to enter so unceremoniously in the middle of Council proceedings?"Chris smiled slyly and bowed his head to the Council President. "My sincerest apologies, President Tannis," his oily voice chimed. "There were urgent matters that needed to be attended to first, but I am here now and humbly request to defend my name against the claims made by the Bergmanns."Tannis narrowed his eyes at Chris, obviously ill at ease with his whole demeanor. "You h
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 25 : Incriminating Footage
"Look, Noah," Atlas began, "as much as I love you and Aria, and want to see her out of that slimeball's clutches…there's nothing I can do for either of you in this trial. I'm from the lower city—my opinion won't matter to the High Council.""They'll listen to you if you become a member of my pack," I countered. "Atlas, I need you. Aria needs you."Atlas sighed and rubbed his temples. "What you need, Noah, is a really good lawyer," he said softly, "which you can afford a thousand times over.""Chris is going to play dirty, and you're the only person I know who can play dirtier," I said."Gee, thanks!" Atlas replied, rolling his eyes.I needed Atlas in this fight. I needed his expertise, his knowledge of the underworld, his people skills…but most of all, I needed a friend. And he was the only one I had."Selene's sake! Fine!" he yelled after a moment of silence. "But I'm not doing this for free, and I want to get paid up front!""Deal!" I agreed."You didn't even ask how
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 26 : Guilty on All Counts
"Your Honor, the person they claim to be Chris Hansen in that footage could have been anyone," Chris's lawyer tried to explain. "Yes, my client was almost caught in the explosion, but that thing that appeared afterwards could not possibly be him. It has to be an illusion set up by Bergmann."The judge, however, looked annoyed."Miss Smith, this is a trial for what has already been brought as an accusation," he grumbled. "You cannot lay another accusation on Mr. Bergmann until this matter is concluded."The lawyer sat down, looking livid. Next to her, Chris's eyes looked like he wanted to murder someone, but kept his composure. The High Court demanded the utmost respect and cordial behavior. Failure to comply could result in jail time if the judge desired it so."Atlas Oasis, it is your turn to question," the judge said to Atlas.I got down from the stand and returned to my seat, giving Atlas a quick hug on the way before he took the floor."We would like to call Alpha Chris
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 27 : Awake
I could hardly believe my eyes; my father was awake. He looked tired and his eyes were hollow, but he was awake and right in front of me.Everyone looked on with concern and curiosity at the sight of the great Henry Bergmann in a wheelchair."Dad," I whispered, moving across the room without even thinking about it. I knelt before him and hugged him tightly—the first real hug I had given him in years. All the bitterness and animosity I had felt towards him took a backseat in that moment; I was just glad to have my father with me."You've done marvelously, son," he said with a proud smile. "Let your old man take it from here."My father wheeled his way to the front of the courtroom. "I apologize for interrupting court proceedings, but my son is not guilty of anything," he said firmly. "The charges of illegal medical facilitation and identity fraud are mine to bear, not Noah's.""Alpha Henry Bergmann," the judge said, "out of respect for your station I will allow you to interrup
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 28 : I Love You
It was strange to be back at the Bergmann estate. It felt as though I hadn't left at all, but also like I had been gone for an eternity. My last clear memory was running into Noah in the pantry. After that, it was all a blur, and that in and of itself was terrifying.I tried my best to recall what had happened, but all I got were images of half-forgotten dreams and the monstrous face of a charred Chris, his burned face contorting into a menacing grin.Chris… Anger and rage burned inside me at the thought of what he did to me. He messed with my mind, kidnapped me, and turned me against Noah. And yet he had still managed to escape without punishment.All because he invoked Damnatio Memoriae. I had not heard of it until yesterday, but according to Henry it was the oldest law ever written by our kind and could not be ignored."Formal challenges cannot be issued to resolve a conflict during a trial," Henry explained, "but Damnatio Memoriae is no ordinary challenge, and trumps all le
