Hi. We are almost twenty chapters into this story. I hope that you are enjoying it and I would love to hear your feedback.
Rayvin was sitting on Mikael’s lap in his office in the house as she dialled her former alpha. “Luna Rayvin,” alpha Brutus answered. Rayvin lost her train of thought. It was the first time anyone had used her full title like that.“Alpha Brutus, Ray and I are calling to discuss a situation,” Mikael said as he stroked her arm.“Alpha Mikael, congratulations on your mating. Is this related to the Sambuca incident the luna called about?” “Thank you. I have been very lucky. Yes, it is. We have a situation on our hands up here, and Ray thought you might be of assistance.” Mikael told the other alpha and then continued on to describe the situation they were in. Giving Rayvin time to get her brain working again.“I see. That is troubling,” Alpha Brutus agreed. “After I stepped aside from the investigation, did we share the information with some other pack?” Rayvin asked.“No, it wasn’t an outside job. We discovered the issue, and we decided to investigate it and solve it. No other pack wa
As Rayvin got ready for her date, she started getting butterflies in her stomach. She told herself that she was being silly. Mikael and she had done a lot more than going out to eat. There was no reason for her to be nervous. They had marked each other for the goddess’ sake. But still. The butterflies refused to go away. As they were just going to the diner, Rayvin decided to go for casual but sexy. The tight, ripped, black jeans looked good together with a cream, oversized knitted sweatshirt that left one of her shoulders bare. Underneath she had a strapless white bustier that she looked forward to Mikael discovering. She went downstairs to wait for Mikael; and got stuck looking out of the big window in the livingroom. Once again, she found herself unable to look away from the view of the pack house and the village. Not even the soft steps that told her Mikael was approaching made her look away. She saw his blurry reflection in the window a second before she felt his arms envelop her
Rayvin was looking into an impressively large walk-in closet filled to the brim with party clothes. “This is… impressive. I thought Max went overboard with the closet in our bedroom. But this, it’s almost twice the size,” she told Diana and Milly.“When I moved in this was the second bedroom,” Milly said, walking into the closet and looked around. “I told you this was the best place to go,” Diana told Rayvin.“I should never have doubted you.”“What are you looking for?” Milly asked.“The luna and I need clothes for when the three of us go out tonight. We need to blend in,” Diana explained. Milly nodded and looked at the two other women with an assessing look. “We aren’t that far apart when it comes to sizes. You are both a little taller than me, so pants might be an issue, and luna you are a little more filled out on top. But I think it’s doable,” she concluded. “I think the best thing is for you to pick out some outfits for us, three each, that we can try out. You know best what
“Millard and Janice will drive the cars, Diana, Milly and I will go in one and you boys will go in the other. You arrive five minutes ahead of us and will take up a place to stand guard. We will arrive and hang around the bar, looking like we are having fun. Millard and Janice will act as backup. Have I forgotten something?” Rayvin asked Mikael, Ben and Diana. They had been forming their strategy for a couple of hours and had finally reached something that they all could live with.“Sounds right,” Diana said with a nod. “I still don’t see why we have to take different cars. I don’t like it,” Ben objected, placing his arm around Diana’s shoulders.“I agree,” Mikael said, pulling Rayvin closer to him. Rayvin and Diana exchanged a look and rolled their eyes. Rayvin thought they were sweet, but she also knew they couldn’t give in to their need to protect.“Because we don’t want anyone to think we are together. The human won’t approach us if he sees us hanging around you two,” she explain
The music in the club rang in Rayvin’s ears. She almost winced as they entered the place. Usually when she went out dancing, if she went to a club that was run by humans, she would wear earplugs to protect her ears. But today she might need all her senses. She therefore tried to ignore the dull pain in her ears and made her way over to the bar with Milly and Diana. She clocked Mikael and Ben standing at a high table across the dancefloor. They were surrounded by women in short, skimpy dresses. Rayvin had a primal urge to rip them all to tiny pieces. ‘We will be lucky if any humans survive today,’ she mind linked Diana. ‘You are right, luna. I’m feeling murderous at the moment, and this blasted music isn’t making it any better,’ Diana agreed. They looked over at Milly. She was happily waiting for the bartender. Rayvin glanced over at Mikael and his hoard of fans. To her relief, he was looking back at her, trying to not make it obvious and ignoring the two women that were trying to ta
As Rayvin and Diana watched Milly get into the car, Rayvin noticed the human man walking out of a side entrance. ‘Honey, do you have eyes on the target?” she mind linked her mate as she nudged Diana and discreetly nodded towards the man. Diana honed in on him.‘I’m a little busy right now, sweetie,’ Mikael answered her. ‘The target went to the back of the club and when we went to follow him, a horde of human females descended on us. We are battling our way through.’ Mikael’s answer had Rayvin on the brink of a growl. She had half a mind to walk into the club and show those humans that he was hers. But, the priority was the human.‘No worries, Diana and I got him,’ she tried to comfort her male. ‘Ray, no. You get into that car and you go home and wait for us,’ he demanded.‘Sorry, honey, the car already left. Now focus on your women problem, and I will snatch and grab the human male,’ she reassured him.‘What do you mean, the car has left? Why did it leave and why didn’t you go with
The car ride home was silent, to the point of making Rayvin feel uncomfortable even though she usually wasn’t bothered by things like that. Mikael and Ben both had insisted on placing their mates on their laps, as it was the only way to not split up the couples in the car. Diana and Rayvin had the sense not to object. When they were almost home, the silence was broken by the insistent thumping coming from the boot of the car. “The human is awake,” Ben said. He leaned his chin on Diana’s shoulder. “Good. We will put him in the cells when we get back. He can sit there for a while and think about why we have taken him. Ray and I will head over to Gray and Bella tomorrow. You two are in charge until we get back, but leave the human until we can all join in,” Mikael said, his fingers played with one of the bows on Rayvin’s dress. “Don’t forget to feed him and give him water,” Rayvin reminded them.“We aren’t animals,” Mikael huffed. “I know, honey. It’s just that humans are frail and I
Rayvin had to admit to herself that she was nervous. Even worse was that she was nervous about several things at once. First of was the fact that this would be the first time she was acting as the packs luna outside the pack. It was a big step in her world. Then there was the fact that she would meet luna Bella. According to everything she had heard about her, she was the perfect luna. It was nerve-racking to be in the same setting as her. How could Rayvin even live up to something like that? ‘Why is your anxiety spiking?’ Mikael asked through mind link as he took her hand from her lap and intertwined their fingers. Rayvin felt herself relaxing. She turned and smiled at him.‘Nothing to worry about, just nerves,’ she answered. He switched focus from the road to her for a moment. When he turned back, he brought her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. ‘There is nothing to be nervous about. You are perfect and they will love you,’ he said. He had hit the nail on the head. It was
