8.An Alpha's Revenge
Crystal woke up the next morning not remembering the last time she slept so good. As she moved, she noticed Killian was still asleep next to her. Without waking him, she slid out of bed and into the closet. She stared at herself in a floor-length mirror and fingered her mate mark. She loved seeing it there on her neck and knew nothing could ever hurt her again. She smiled to herself and dressed for the day. Once that was done, she checked on Killian and noticed the heavy rise and fall of his chest, and decided to let him sleep. She walked out and went downstairs and headed for the kitchen. No one knew that they had marked each other, so when she came down, everyone noticed. Jake ran into her on her way out the door to head to the bakery.
"Well, what have we here?"
"Good morning, Jake."
"He marked you."
"And he has one similar to match."

Crystal couldn't even go outside without feeling like she was being watched. She knew Andrew couldn't cross into her pack lands but his threat was fresh on her mind. She sat in the library huddled in the corner, too afraid to leave the maze of shelves. She sat up against the wall and felt the panic creeping up on her. She closed her eyes and began whispering that it wasn't real and she was safe. Andrew couldn't touch her anymore. Her breathing became heavier and she began to rock as the memories swarmed in and threatened to snuff her out. When she thought she couldn't handle it anymore, she smelt the rain and cedar scent. She began to relax as the scent got stronger and she knew he was getting closer to her. When she had the strength to open her eyes, he was knelt down in front of her. He had a concerned look on his face and reached out his hand."You can't keep doing this, baby.""I can't help it. I feel safe here when you are gone.""Which is why all my busine

Crystal sat in the garden with Kellie eating lunch the afternoon before the ceremony. Kellie had settled in nicely and loved having the freedom that Blood Moon did."It's so beautiful here, Crystal. And so peaceful. I'm glad you found your happiness, Crystal.""This can be your happiness, too.""I rejected my mate.""That doesn't mean you can't be happy. You know you wouldn't have been with him.""I know, but I'll never have a mate.""That doesn't mean you can't find love.""That's true.""Plus, who's to say you don't have a second chance mate.""Always hopeful, Crystal.""I have to be."Just then, Brandy walked over to them."Pardon the intrusion, Luna.""Speak freely, Brandy. You know better.""I'm sorry, Crystal. The Sea Cave Pack is here.""Killian?""Still dealing with the Drak Woods Pack.""Very well. Will you two accompany me?""Of course.""Jak

Crystal sat in the pack doctor's office. She was having her ultrasound today. Killian was running late again and she kept trying to text him and call him. Ever since the ceremony, he had been different. After all the packs went home and she said farewell to Kellie, things had been different. The doctor appeared in the hall."Luna, we are ready for you.""Thanks, Dr. Browning.""No Alpha, again?""Nope. Let's just get started.""We can wait. It's no problem.""No. I've tried calling him and he knew the time.""Alright."The doctor gave a look like she knew something. Crystal and Killian had been together for six months. She was happy with him but she just wondered why he was acting weird. She was finishing up and he still wasn't here. She left and headed back to the packhouse when she saw him. He was pacing back and forth and there was a woman standing there with a little boy. The boy didn't look much older than two years old. T

Crystal sat in her office and couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened two weeks ago. After Andrew disappeared, guards were posted to keep watch. Killian had brought her to their room and began apologizing. She stopped him and told him everything Danielle had said and did. Killian began to cry knowing now he didn't betray her in any way. She told him what Andrew said about the baby. If she had a boy, he would be back to try and claim him. Killian instantly went into a protective mode and swore he would never let that happen. What Andrew said was weighing heavily on her mind. So much so, she didn't hear Killian come in. He walked over and touched her shoulder, making her jump."I'm sorry. I knocked and called out to you.""No, I'm sorry.""You're thinking about it again?""I can't help it.""Babe, I told you not to. It's not healthy for you or the baby.""I know. I don't know how to shake it.""I'll shake him to death if t

Crystal was resting after being in labor for six hours so he had this time alone with her. He held her in his arms and was so scared of hurting her. She was so small and frail and she curled up against his chest as he held her. He knew he would do any and everything to keep her safe. This tiny child was now his world. She had his coloring but she looked like her mother. Both of his ladies were fast asleep and he knew life was perfect. His whole world was in one room and his heart filled with pride and joy. He was momentarily distracted from his thoughts as his daughter stirred in his arms. He smiled down at her as she opened her eyes and stared wide-eyed up at him.Crystal woke up and from where she laid, she could see Killian and their daughter.

Crystal decided to have Monica take care of Destiny while she and Killian had work to do and she was honored by this. She was good with Destiny and loved the little child. They were currently sitting outside in the garden and Destiny was crawling in the grass and touching everything she could get her hands on.

I just hope all the alphas are too.""I'm sure they will be, Luna. If other Luna's are anything like you, they will be on board.""Thank you, Monica.
