~VIXEN~

I didn’t stop running until my legs began to shake.

The forest stretched endlessly around me, branches clawing at my arms, roots catching at my feet, the cold morning air burning in my lungs. Each breath felt sharp. Each step heavier than the last.

But I didn’t slow down.

I couldn’t.

If I stopped, I would think.

And if I thought, I might turn back.

The thought of him finding my empty room flashed in my mind.

The letter on the table.

The silence.

The anger that would harden his eyes.

  • THE LUNA HE NEVER WANTED   060| COMPLICATIONS

    ~VIXEN~There was something about the way he said that, something that sent everyone there to their knees.I could feel his Alpha Aura pushing against me, fighting my own wolf.But maybe it was because of his arms that were still around me, the pressure was not strong enough to push me to my knees.Vaelor’s fingers seemed to tighten around me, but his eyes were still fixed on the now kneeling elders, his jaw so tightly clenched that I could see the strain from here.“Never let me hear about this again,” he said coldly, then he turned, dragging me along as he left there.I didn’t speak, didn’t even dare breathe loudly when he was clearly this mad with rage.None of us spoke until we got back to the room, and after the door shut, he let go of me.I took that chance to create even more space between us. I could see the pain in his eyes, could see how much he was battling with the rage.For a moment, I contemplated wrapping my arms around him, and hugging him until he was calm, just like

  • THE LUNA HE NEVER WANTED   059| THE WEIGHT OF THE CROWN

    ~VIXEN~I took another step back and then another, until I was far enough to leave.But right when I wanted to sneak out unnoticed, our eyes met. For the next second, I stood there frozen, unable to move.The frown that had once been on his face disappeared and was instantly replaced with a heart-warming smile.“Vie…” he called out gently, stretching his hand as though calling out to me.I froze, not knowing whether to walk towards him or go backwards. I could feel the heated stares almost burning a hole through me. I didn’t need to look at those with him to know they were practically glaring at me, but I still looked at them anyway.The air suddenly felt too thick with hostility. I contemplated going back, but Vaelor’s hand remained outstretched.“Vie…” he called again, his voice so soft that it didn’t in any way match the deadly aura around him.“Go to him,” Emmie whispered, her voice uncharacteristically small. “Show them you aren’t afraid, even if we are shaking inside.”I swallow

  • THE LUNA HE NEVER WANTED   058| THE AFTERMATH

    ~VIXEN~Vaelor wasn’t in bed when I woke up. Worse still, a feeling of emptiness clung to me.I looked at his own side of the bed, it was almost like he never slept on it.I sat up slowly, heart pounding.“Vaelor!!”But no answer came. I pushed myself out of bed and went to take a quick bath.However, after dressing up and stepping out into the hallway, I realized something was wrong.“I think something happened.” Emmie whispered watchfully.I looked around, noticing how empty the hallway seemed. I could only nod in agreement. One thing was sure, whatever happened was not good in any way.It was only after I got down the stairs that I began noticing some staff, but strangely enough, they seemed to be avoiding me.“Where is Vaelor?” I asked one of the staff who kept avoiding my eyes, as though staring into them was a crime on its own.She bowed even lower before responding. “My lady, the Alpha is in a meeting.”There was something about how she said it that made me very uncomfortable.

  • THE LUNA HE NEVER WANTED   057| A LINE DRAWN IN BLOOD

    ~VAELOR~There it was, he had crossed the line.I tilted my head slightly, keeping my eyes cold.“And what gives you the right to decide my private life for me?” I asked, though my tone sounded calm, I made sure he could read the message beneath my words.His lashes fluttered. He opened his mouth and then shut it again, clearly caught off guard.“Alpha Vaelor…” he started, but I cut him off again.“Oh, I almost thought you had forgotten who the Alpha is, Uncle. For a moment, I almost thought you were the Alpha of this pack.”His eyes darkened, fury flashing through his them, but he bowed instead, a clear way to hide his anger.“Forgive me, Alpha Vaelor, but I am only looking out for the good of this pack,” he said and then looked up. “When I ruled this pack, I…”My jaw tightened. It was true that he led the pack for some time after my dad passed and I went missing.He continued. “When I ruled this pack, I made it my clearest responsibility to only make decisions that would move this p

  • THE LUNA HE NEVER WANTED   056| CONTROL OR COLLUSION

    ~VAELOR~“Stay calm… don’t react.”I kept whispering in my head as she spoke about Salvatore. No matter how much I tried to pretend, I still couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was something more to this… something even she might not be aware of.“He is a threat, we can’t let him have her,” Brook’s voice came, hard and compelling.I couldn’t help wondering if she in fact didn’t notice anything strange about Salvatore.Just then, I felt her weight settle against me, her head falling backward. I turned to look at her, noticing that she already fell asleep.Without thinking, I gently rested her head against my shoulder, holding her in place with an arm around her.Instinctively, her fingers which were once gripping my shirt tightly loosened slowly, sliding down until they rested against my chest like she had nowhere else to be.Once more, my heart began racing, like it always did when she was close.Could I ever get used to this feeling of having her in my arms?My hold on her tigh

  • THE LUNA HE NEVER WANTED   055| BENEATH THE TRUTH

    ~VIXEN~I stared at him, wondering what he was thinking. The calm look on his face made it impossible to read him.Taking a deep breath, I chose to tell him the truth. “I am buying property in his pack. I want to start building my company… Alpha Salvatore has a good spot.”The moment the words left my lips, I felt a shift in the air, subtle but dangerous.Something flashed across his eyes, but it was gone before I could name it.His silence only increased my discomfort. I would have preferred any words or reaction from him, even anger.I kept my gaze forward, my fingers tightening slightly in my lap as the car moved smoothly through the night.His eyes met mine, and for a minute, he didn’t say anything.Then, gently he spoke: “You are ready to start your company?”I nodded, holding back the need to let out a sigh of relief. “For the first time… I want something that fully belongs to me.”His eyes softened. “Wanting something for yourself doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.”My eyes

    ~VIXEN~Breathe.But I couldn’t… not when his lips were on mine. His lips worked over mine, so intensely that I felt shudders rush through me.My legs suddenly felt too weak, my heart pounding with an intensity that almost drove me to my knees.I tried to push him away, but he only pulled me closer

    ~VAELOR~Her face turned pale as I said that. I wasn’t bluffing this time, there was no way I was letting her slip through my fingers again.I mind-linked West, while still standing before her.None of us said a word. We both stood there, staring at each other.It took everything in me not to let m
