I couldn't believe that Grayson was being so forward. My wolf told me that he was concerned that I was pregnant by another and I found that appalling. She also informed me that I may have been violated by the Alpha that whipped me and I shuddered at the memory. There wasn't any semen that dripped down my leg so I told her that I doubted that he ejaculated internally in me. She agreed with a whimper. When I was sleeping in Grayson's comfortable bed the moon Goddess appeared to me in the dreamscape and explained that in order to get the love that I wished for I needed to put forth the effort to gain it from my mate. She also told me it would be challenging for me to gain it but well worth the struggle and to be fearless. I told her I would put forth the effort to please the stunning Goddess. My wolf encouraged me and gave me suggestions. It had been her idea to let the kissing continue. I did enjoy it though, Grayson was talented at kissing. Sierra was a frisky she-wolf I was learning.
"I don't think that is wise, little Luna. Look at what they did to me and I'm much larger than you and an experienced warrior," Harkin growled. I clenched my fists and stood."My mate is suffering from the silver cuffs. They're burning into his bones and he cannot shift into his Lycan?" I said in confusion. I was repeating what my wolf was saying and looked at the two individuals."Grayson is half Lycan?" I mumbled softly. Harkin grunted and nodded and Mabel grinned."His father was full blood, his mother was just a wolf," she told me and I nodded and mumbled, wow. I frowned not from the information but because Grayson was being held captive."Can the pack warriors try to get him?" I asked Harkin and he looked at me in sadness."I don't think so, there are a lot of rogues, Luna," he sighed and I crossed my arms and headed out back. I went outside and thought my mate would come for me and I should do the same for him. Sierra, my wolf growled in agreement. I started removing my clothes,
I couldn't believe Harkin saying what he had to Violet. She surprised me with her answer and even more when she appeared in the basement of Martinez's home to rescue me. The silver in my bloodstream was concerning and causing my flesh a grayish tinge. The doctor was drawing my blood to test how badly I'd been poisoned."Your Lycan half should fight and clean your blood if the infection isn't too far," he said firmly and ran the red substance into his Theranos machine. As we waited for the results Violet sat next to me holding my hand. Instead of nervously wringing her own she would periodically squeeze mine. I thought it was cute. I could hear knocking coming from my front door even from upstairs and glanced up at Harkin and then Mabel."I will answer it," Harkin grunted and headed out of the room. Violet was acting nervously and I squeezed her hand."I'm going to be alright, sweetheart," I told her and she looked at me and nodded with a slight smile. Harkin came back into the room l
The silver in my system hurt. It felt like all my veins were pumping lava throughout my body. My Lycan was at full bore and helped me deal with the poison and caused me to be a gigantic asshole. Mabel had been gone for hours and I was hungry. I dressed in casual clothes and went downstairs to my kitchen to search for something to put in my belly. I was surprised by Harkin walking in from the patio off the kitchen and glaring at him."Forget to knock?" I questioned him. He just glared at me back."I only came to tell you that Luna made it to her mother's cottage and I assigned three warriors to the area that came from Frank," he growled roughly and I shrugged as I continued preparing my sandwich. I lifted it and asked if he wanted one. Harkin shook his head, giving me a judgmental glare."You still look like shit, Alpha. You should be in bed and allow your body to heal," he grunted harshly as I ignored him and sat at the table."Mabel isn't here to bring me food and I was hungry," I mu
"I'd like to join you if it's alright?" Harkin nodded and told me to be up early and that he would take me to the pack houses and then see Grayson."Sounds good. Thank you, Harkin," I said firmly and he nodded as he waited for me to exit the office. I started around the desk when a crumpled piece of white paper caught my eye. I bent over to retrieve it and opened it to see Isabella's handwriting on it in a black permanent marker. My eyes rushed over the words and I got nauseated. I held it up and glared at Harkin."This is bullshit. That bitch is pretending to be Jack and wrote this because that idiot can't spell and his penmanship is like chicken scratches!" I growled threateningly and he plucked the letter from my hands and frowned as he read it."It appears that they are trying to create the same problems that arose with his first mate. I really wish Grayson would have ended them," he muttered rubbing his eyes."Well, I will gladly if Jack or Isabella think either of them is taking
I returned to the cottage weeping softly and entered it. Sitting on the small couch I buried my face into my hands and cried. I couldn't understand why the Alpha hated me so much. It wasn't right for him to pour his hatred of the females that hurt him onto me. I opened my eyes and growled low."This was all bullshit," I shouted and my wolf agreed. I decided that I needed to become strong on my own. I didn't need the Alpha to rule my emotions any longer. There was obviously no love loss. I had tried and failed and decided it was his turn now to put forth the effort. I would become a Luna of the Black Mountain pack with or without his brutish ass. My wolf howled within my subconscious and I grinned. Wiping my eyes I glanced around the small home to figure out where I could keep the child. I headed outside and called out to one of the warriors."I need a small room added on for my pup. Is that doable?" I asked bluntly and he nodded his head and said he'd inform Harkin I nodded my thanks
I fell asleep while Grayson carried me. His lycan was warm and the movement of his stride had lulled me along with my mate's scent. When he stopped I felt dampness on my cheek and nose and opened my eyes to see his Lycan's tongue coming at me for another swipe against my face. I blocked it and the beast growled at me."You taste and smell nice," he growled roughly."Do you have a name like Nyko?" I asked curiously and he grunted."Yeah it's Auberon but just call me Grayson, Alpha, or Forest," he said staunchly and I grinned and told him my wolf's name was Sierra. He told me he already knew that and walked up the steps of his home. I turned and was surprised by our getting there so quickly."I want your brand covered. I will not accept any slave as my mate no matter how much I desire her," he spoke coldly. I asked to be sat down suddenly feeling uncomfortable with the way he was behaving. Grayson sat me on my feet and nuzzled against my neck."I would like to give you my mark but must
"We have caves for the pack to seek refuge in," Harkin told her. She wrapped a sheet around herself and asked if this cave had several exits."Why?" I questioned and she rolled her eyes."Because my former fake brother is a monster and will close the entrance," she growled matter-of-factly. Harkin told her that there were several exits and looked at me strangely. I pulled him aside and asked what was up. He sighed and said, "Frank passed and is leaving his pack to you both and has a letter for Violet." I frowned at his death and informed him that Violet was told he was her biological father. Harkin nodded and told us he was going to tell the pack members to head for the mountain."I hope they can make it there without an ambush. You should prepare here as well or head for the caves. The rogues have all the outcasts from the other three packs and they're hungry for blood from their mistreatment," he said softly. I glanced over at Violet and her brand and thought she could negotiate due
