Kai is badly injured, so he won't wake up for another few chapters. are you glad Moon has some people in her corner now? She is not doing this alone anymore.
Moon's pov I woke up to whispering. “.. that’s her?” “Yes, that’s your granddaughter.” Alpha Malcom said. “She looks like her mother. Just as beautiful as my Freya.” I felt Mary wake up next to me and she said up straight. Softly stroking my hair, trying to wake me up. I was scared to open my eyes. Would he hate me? It might have not been my choice, but it were my hands that held the knife that stabbed his daughter. “You can do this, Moon.” Angela said, urging me to open my eyes. When I did, I saw Alpha Malcom and my grandfather. He was the same man from my memories, only older. He had some grey hairs and some wrinkles, but he didn’t look as old as a human would. We age differently, so he looked about forty years old, while he must be in his sixties by now. “Mona.” “It’s Moon now,” Mary said protectively, “Alpha Moon.” I smiled at Mary, “it’s fine, Mary. Could you excuse us for a minute?” I mindlinked her, “if he wanted me dead, he would have killed me in my sleep. I’ll be
Kai’s pov I was trapped inside that cave for hours, but it could have been days for all I knew. All I felt was pain everywhere, but the worst part was being trapped and feeling like I couldn’t breathe. It was dark and cramped and I was losing hope, the longer it took for Moon to get me out. In all honesty, it came as a relief when I got knocked out. Or died? I don’t even fucking know. It went black and I felt this sense of peace. Then I felt nothing for a while, just amazing numbness. But it was like something was pulling me back and there was this euphoric feeling that washed over me. Like this pull to something or someone. I had to come back. Everything was still dark and it was freaking me the fuck out. Was I still trapped in that cave, only I didn’t feel it? Had my body died, but had my spirit remained stuck there? I knew Moon was trying to get me out, but maybe she had been too late. Dad. Dad! Beta Norman said he was killing my dad, slowly. Fuck, I needed to go back. I neede
Moon’s pov I had been wanting Kai to wake up and at the same time I had dreaded it. What would he say? What would he do? Would he hate me even more if he found out what I did? I knew I had to be the one to tell him. If he was going to hurt someone in his anger or pain, it should be me. But Kai surprised me by doing the exact opposite. He was kind and he wanted to stay at my pack. Was he in shock? He barely responded to losing his arm or losing his dad. He loved his father, I knew he did. So was he holding everything in? Was he like me, focusing only on revenge or he would break? But for once, I wasn’t the target of his revenge. That fucking bastard Norman was. I didn’t know how he killed Alpha Tallon, but I knew it was him. What Kai said, only proved it. When Kai was checked out of the hospital, I picked him up with Racheal and she drove us to my pack. Kai and I sat in the back. I had no clue why he wanted to stay here. Absolutely none. “He said he was sorry about not believing y
Kai’s pov I saw a smile for the first time in years, when I talked to Moon about our shared past. It made me feel better too, remembering a time before all this crap happened. I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing. I was trying to be nice to her, show her I had changed, but there was too fucking much going on. I lost my dad. No, I didn’t lose him, he was fucking killed and I couldn’t even say goodbye. I was worried about my mom, worried about my pack and I was fucking pissed I lost my hand. But I knew I couldn’t take any of that out on Moon. She had saved me and I knew it couldn’t have been an easy choice to take my hand. But what she felt worse about, was marking me. Yeah, it surprised me and it messed with my fucking head. But it wasn’t something that was gone, like my hand. It was a new chance to get to know Moon. To look inside her head and see what she was hiding. Because fucking hell, was she good at suppressing her emotions. “Takes one to know one.” Ronin said. I growle
Moon’s pov Sleeping next to Kai was the best night sleep I had ever had. But I wouldn’t tell him that. Things were too difficult. He was nice to me now and he said he believed me, but we could never get past what I did. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw the woman who had done horrible things for Norman. So I could only imagine what Kai thought when he saw me. Besides, he just lost hid dad, his hand. No, no I had to get the thought of Kai out of my head. He wasn’t mine. Even if he was my mate and I had marked him, he wasn’t in love with me and he deserved better. I left Kai’s tent and got dressed. I didn’t have any nice clothes, so I had no idea what to wear. Grandpa came to pick me up, holding a large box. “I thought you might not have something to wear?” “You bought me a dress, grandpa?” I said confused. Grandpa winked, “don’t worry, it’s nothing bad. An outfit befitting for an Alpha.” I opened the box and inside was a black jumpsuit. It had thick straps and golden
Kai’s pov Moon didn’t come home until very late. I spent the day talking to Moon’s Beta and Gamma, showing them the weak spots in my pack. It felt strange, letting another pack know where the best places were to attack us. But I wanted this attack to be over quickly and with as little casualties, on both sides, as possible. Alpha Malcom was traveling to my pack, to say goodbye to my father. The whole thing was fucked up. instead of being at home at my dad’s funeral, I was busy sharing pack secrets to our “enemy.” But I knew who the real enemy was, that fucker Norman. I just hoped Moon got some good news. Through our bond I felt like it went well. She seemed more relaxed. She deserved it, after everything she had gone through. As soon as I heard Moon, well, I actually smelled her first, come into the pack, I wanted to ask her how it went. Everyone else was already asleep, but I couldn’t sleep. “Or you are too scared.” Ronin said. “I’m not too scared, I just don’t want to wake up t
Moon’s pov “We can’t.” I whispered, scared to say it oud loud. I wanted to, so badly, but it wasn’t smart to kiss Kai now. “I know.” Kai said and he kissed me. We stood there, looking at each other. It was almost like it used to be, before all this bullshit. But we were different people now. We were both hurting and all I wanted was for Kai to feel better. A break from everything. “Would it help make you feel better?” He nodded, “yes, but you don’t have to, if you don’t want to.” But I wanted to, badly. I knew that it would make me feel better too. Just for a short time. The sparks I was feeling right now, were proof of it. We could make each other forget, for a little bit. "Well, then," Kai said and he kissed me. I had felt so bad for Kai. Losing his dad, not being able to be there to say goodbye. I had a lot of fond memories of Alpha Tallon myself. Which was hard, considering he was the one that ordered the attack on my pack. I wanted the man dead, but when it actually happ
Kai’s pov Moon cried for hours, while I held her. Until we were both too tired and we fell asleep. I woke up, with Moon still lying on top of me. “You called her “my Moon,” last night.” Ronin said, first thing when I woke up. “No, I didn’t.” “Yeah, you did. She is our Moon. Our mate. And we belong together.” Ronin, clearly approved of what we did last night. It was wrong, but fucking hell, did it feel right. Those sparks everywhere we touched and we had touched a lot. Her scent, all over me. Everything was right about last night and at the end, I just wanted to savor it. Knowing it wouldn’t last. So I went slow and took my time. Took all of Moon in. I wanted to remember how she felt, how she tasted. Not Mona, I knew what Mona was like. But Moon. She was the same, but different. Moon had learned some new tricks, her body had matured and she had scars and muscles, she didn’t have before. Moon felt deeply, I could sense it through the bond. She hurt deeply, loved deeply, protected d
