“You’re going to keep this from Sutton?” Jaden asked. “How is that going to work, Lucas? He’s a pack Beta. Even if he doesn’t come after her now, she’s going to find out. It’s going to be a lot better if she hears it from you.”

“I know that,” I replied. “I will tell her. Just not now. Not when she’s made so much progress. We can protect her from this for a little while longer.”

“I’m not disagreeing,” Jaden replied. “It just doesn’t sit right with me.”

I pinched the bridge of my nose. Pushing back my anger and frustration.

“You think it’s any different for me?” I said. “If I had the choice I’d kill the bastard myself. And enjoy every second of it. Long before Sutton ever found out. Hell, if the opportunity arises, I’ll be glad to do just that.”

“And how the hell would that end up happening?” Max interjected.

“Why do you think Hunter is here?” I replied, looking toward the fourth party in the room. He leaned quietly against the wall. Never a man of many words. “I have a job for you.”

  • The Alpha's Stolen Luna   Chapter 212: Sutton

    My fingers ran over the pages filled with my mother’s handwriting. Helene picked up one of the journals as well, flipping through the pages.“She was nineteen when she wrote this one,” she said softly. “My age.”I wrapped an arm around her shoulder and hugged her close. This all meant a lot to her too. It was strange… Helene once told me the felt like she never really knew Mom. She was so young when Mom died, she didn’t have many memories of her. I had felt bad that I, and even Hannah, had gotten more of a chance to know her than her. But now… Now it was like we were both getting to know who she really was together.“So, another set of clues, I suppose,” Lucas said next to me.“I guess so,” I said. “But it’s okay. I’ll get to know her better this way. Besides, we’ll probably get some information about what Prince Raphe was supposedly up to back then.”“True,” Lucas replied, taking the book from my hand and replacing it with the plate. “I guess this means the waterfall isn’t a necessar

    As I drove us back to our cabin, I couldn’t help but notice the shift in Sutton’s mood. Since starting this quest to learn about her mother’s past, there had been an underlying sense of dread that kept popping up through our bond. I didn’t know why and Sutton hadn’t been able to tell me when I asked. But it wasn’t there anymore. Now, she just seemed curious, excited, even determined.Whatever the reason for the change, I was grateful. It relieved some of my own worries about this whole ordeal, making it that much easier to support her through this.I hauled the case up onto the porch. We didn’t want to track dirt and mud through the cabin but there was a hose just off the deck. Sutton found a scrub brush under the bathroom sink and together we cleaned the case.“Lucas, look at this,” she said as she scoured the front latch.As the grime washed away, it revealed a strange lock. A strange lock that looked familiar. Sutton dug into her pockets and retrieved the necklace Korinna had left

    We got out of the truck as an older woman headed toward the office. She gave us a polite smile as she unlocked the door.“You must be our new campers,” she greeted. “Welcome to Lake Doumon. Did you find your cabin okay last night?”“We did,” Lucas replied as we followed her inside. “It was perfect. Thank you.”“Wonderful,” the woman replied. “I’m Wilma, the office manager. But please, call me Willy.” She went behind a counter and set her purse down before turning to give us her full attention. “Now, what can I do for you today?”I stepped forward, realizing I had no idea how I was going to explain what was going on and not sound crazy. I should have prepared better but here we were. I’d just have to wing it.“Okay, so this is probably going to sound really weird, but um… apparently, my parents used to come here a long time ago,” I started to explain. “They’ve both since passed and my mother left me some stuff telling me to come here. She wants me to find something or someone… It’s not

    Our run lasted a lot longer than we had anticipated. It was almost midnight when we finally made it back to the cabin. But it was entirely needed. Nova and Rhonen had the time of their lives. We probably circled the entire lake just following new scents and game trails. We didn’t come across the waterfall near the rock formation, but that was fine. Our goal was to just let our animals have a good time.They even got to hunt. Taking down a rabbit and a beaver. Letting Nova devour her kill was a new experience for me. I thought I would have been disgusted. But my instincts were so in tune with Nova’s now that the whole encounter just felt natural. And surprisingly delicious. Although, I would still stick to preparing my food in human form.When we got back to the cabin, Jaden had started a fire in the fire pit behind the cabin, overlooking the water. We sat out there for a few hours before going to bed. I slept like an absolute rock.Waking up well-rested and refreshed, I quickly got re

    We pulled up to the lake in the early rays of twilight, allowing me a spectacular view of the gorgeous landscape. The further we drove, the more I could understand how this could be such a special place for my parents. It was incredibly serene just viewing it through the truck window.Lucas followed the voice on the GPS to the cabin we had rented for the night. He pulled up to a log cabin sitting at the top of an incline leading right down the water’s edge. We were situated at the curve of an inlet of water, giving us some privacy among the trees from any other lake goers.Not that I felt like we needed it. I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the people who frequented this summer getaway. I could imagine all the families who brought their kids as the weather got hot. Teaching them to swim in the cool waters. Boating or kayaking up and down the lake.I slid out of the truck and walked across the gravel to look out over the water.“We should come back here,” I told Lucas as he came up beside
