Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Lustful stare
I held Brinley to my chest and walked toward the cave where we would stay the night. She was wrapped up in a fur blanket to protect her from the elements. Had she been in her wolf form, the frigid temperature would not have affected her, but she would be unable to shift until she healed.After several minutes, we reached the waterfall. Brinley's closed eyes fluttered when I shifted her weight into one of my arms so I could use my other to climb up jagged rocks. She tucked her head close to my chest to avoid the condensation coming from the falls.Fifteen feet up, we reached a small ledge. Pushing the thick foliage that covered the entrance out of the way, I slipped through.Brinley lifted her head and looked around. Carved inside the mountain, the cave was about ten feet wide by eight feet deep and just tall enough to accommodate my height. Solid rock on all sides except for an eight-foot expanse where the waterfall rained down, hiding our location."Where are we?" her voice was raspy
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Desire for him
Instantly, my Wolf focused on his task. Brinley's healing came first, and he could help. He nipped the edge of the blanket and pulled it away, revealing her lithe naked body. She laid flat on her belly, with her cheek resting on her crossed forearms.With meticulous care, he swept his large tongue gently along each stripe on her back. When he had given the wounds sufficient attention, he moved on to the rest of her back, her cute rounded butt and down her legs.Eyes closed, Brinley's breathing was slow and deep, completely calm and relaxed. I wondered for a moment if she'd fallen asleep.Once complete, my Wolf nudged her with his big head, wanting her to roll over. She accommodated him, slowly moving to reposition herself on her back. Hands resting on her belly, and eyes half-mast with her continued calm and drowsiness, Brinley remained relaxed and made no move to cover herself....until my Wolf pushed his head between her legs and licked her folds.Then, Brinley couldn't have had a m
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Don't Test Me
Don't Test MeCoalThe sun was barely on the horizon when I approached Calla's home. Anxiety swept over me. I wasn't nervous about breaking up with her, just forcing her silence. She could be strong-willed when she wanted to be. I had to ensure that she didn't say or do anything that would cause Alpha to look at Brinley with even more suspicion or hatred.I had no idea what Brinley or her mother had done to incur my father's wrath. I'd approached him about it once. His only reaction was to fly into a fit of rage and take his irritation out on my chest with his fists. I remembered hearing the distinct break of bones and feeling the familiar burn of cracked ribs.I was no stranger to broken bones. Even from a shockingly young age of four, my father had felt physical punishment was a much more effective learning tool than words.But this event had been worse. He'd been binge drinking for days. I was fifteen at the time. Brinley was only ten, and her mother had just died. There had been n
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Hard for her
"Brilliant!" I hissed, throwing my hands in the air. "You don't even have a clue, do you?""Coal..." she tried to speak her soothingly. Her voice grated my ears. "Let's just talk about this. We've had fights before. All couples have them. I know we can get through this. I'm sorry I got angry. Just start at the beginning. I'm listening.""You are no Luna!" I snapped.The lip quiver was back. Calla waited for me to continue. Shockingly, she really had no idea.I growled, "How could you? How could you think any shewolf deserved to be punished so severely, for something you knew wasn't her fault? I attacked her. She defended herself! As she had every right to, and yet, you insisted being beaten was what she deserved?" Just hearing the words made me angry all over again.Understanding came to her eyes. "So, this is about her!"I didn't appreciate her tone or her stupidity, and snarled, "Once again, my feelings are not relevant to this conversation, nor are they any of your business anymore
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Order and discipline
Order and DisciplineBrinleyI opened my eyes slowly. The sun shone brightly through the glistening drops of the waterfall. I was tucked inside of a warm cave. Too warm actually. A slight sheen of sweat covered my brow. Wolves were hot-blooded creatures by nature, our bodies suited for frigid winter temperatures. Our skin sides didn't fare so well, but I was currently wrapped tightly, like a burrito, inside of a thick fur blanket.I looked around hoping to see Coal, but I was alone. Disappointment flooded through me. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. He'd promised to stay the night, but he made no promises to stick around once daylight hit.Last night had been the worst and the best night of my life. The worst because of the horrible pain I'd endured, but the best because I'd woken up several times during the night to find Coal's strong arms banded around me like steel. Each time, he whispered soothing, calming words to lull me back into sleep.It had been bliss, feeling his bo
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Answers needed
AnswersBrinleyI stood frozen, my brain unable to keep up with her astounding words. Langdon was her son?!How was that possible? What was really going on here?Obviously, there was no coincidence. Fear washed over me, uncertain of their intentions.My gaze went from Darcie and rested on Langdon. He reclined comfortably on the couch, but the tight line of his mouth belied his relaxed posture. His eyes were equally attentive as hers had been, carefully looking me up and down, assessing my body for any remaining injuries.When he finished, his gaze returned to mine. "I see Coal kept his word about spending the entire night with you." There was relief in his tone at my physical improvement, but his mouth held a small frown.I blushed deeply, my cheeks warming.Langdon had to know Coal only achieved my level of healing by spending the night with our naked bodies pressed together. I didn't reply to his remark."Please dear, why don't you sit down?" Darcie motioned me further into the room
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Desire for her
.My head snapped in her direction.Her tone softened, "I understand that you're reluctant to have us involved, but like it or not, it is our choice to remain invested in you and your future. We're not going anywhere. So, to keep us as safe as possible, I need you to share the details. I'm sorry you're hurt by having to relive ancient pain, but it must be done."Resignation washed over me. They weren't going to let it go, and I couldn't argue Darcie's logic. A pit grew in my stomach, churning. I inhaled slowly, trying to prepare myself for conversation I really didn't want to have. In and out.In and out.My lip quivered as I began, "I'm a bastard pup."Langdon growled at my description. Darcie silenced him with a look. I continued shakily, "Alpha sentenced both my mother and me to be shunned by the pack. We were allowed to live, but never allowed to interact...to never have friends..." My voice broke. Tongue thick, I swallowed and wiped away a tear that breached my eyelashes.Painfu
Rejected Mate: The Alpha's Secret Luna. Wicked gleam
Langdon studied me. "I cannot fathom how he could let you go." He shook his head and spoke quietly. "If I had found the one for me..."His eyes took on a wistful expression, sad. "I would hold her and never let her go."My heart broke for him. He was physically strong, an Onyx Moon Enforcer, but he was still just a man that wanted to find love.I murmured, "I know you think she's gone because you haven't found her yet, but I don't believe that. You're a good wolf. The Moon gives good things to wolves like you."Truthfully, I believed my words. Langdon would one day meet his mate, which was another reason I had to say no. I'd been rejected once. I couldn't imagine getting involved with another wolf, only to have him find the one he was intended for, after the fact, and then kick me to the curb.Langdon was quiet for a long time, lost in his thoughts. Finally, he looked up. "We need a plan.""A plan?"He stood to his feet. "Yes. Let's go down and eat, and we can discuss it with my mothe
