Whoa, that got intense fast. Looks like a double-chapter kind of day.
“Sorry fer da intrusion.” Cillian apologized. “She was verra adamant dat we come straight to ya Delta Silvercloud. She dinna tink it could wait.” ‘Who’s she?’ Katrina questioned through my family link. “Luna Anka.” I nodded my head. “We didn’t expect any of you to be here so quickly,” I said. “This is Luna Isis of Silverclaw, Luna Katrina of Nebrodi, and Gammas Amelia and Stephen of Madonie.” I introduced them. “Guys, meet Luna Anka of Demonclaw, her daughter Alpha Mila er Tomila, and her mate Aleph Cillian.” “André will be thrilled to hear that his mate’s title is catching.” Katrina rolled her eyes. “Nice to meet you all.” She added. “Anka, what did you mean you can explain?” Jonathan asked. “It’s all in here.” Anka held out the black folder. It was rather thick, and at the sight of it, Daniel had jumped to his feet only to be held back by the chains. Daniel doesn’t want us to see whatever is in that folder. I glanced at Jonathan and knew that reaction only told us we wanted to
It was all just too much to process. After we returned upstairs, Isis and Persephone gave the rundown to everyone on what happened and the plan. I could feel Logan and Kurt looking at me, I’m not sure what they wanted, but my silence wasn’t it. Both have tried to ask me questions, but Persephone has expertly redirected and answered each time. I made a mental note to make it up to her to deal with all the questions later. ‘You still have your grand gesture. Remember the one you planned before everything went to shit.’ Jaci reminded me. ‘Yes, but some of that plan isn’t applicable now.’ I countered. I silently watched in awe of my mate as she handled four Alpha’s questioning every detail of the plan. I know her attitude has gotten on Logan’s nerves more than once, but it’s one of the things I love about her. She questions everything, including what an Alpha tells her, even if it’s her own Alpha. I think it’s a great quality for a ranked wolf. We can’t just blindly do what our
OMG! I can’t believe we just did that. We had sex in a car while someone else was driving! I don’t have a mirror to confirm it, but my face feels like it’s as red as Riordan’s hair. I’m the person who has mocked characters in movies, tv shows, and books that hook up in back seats of cabs and limos. How inconsiderate can a person get to have sex with someone a partition away? And now I am one of those selfish assholes.What the hell came over me? I mean, seriously, I didn’t believe sex would make Jonathan tell me why we went to the office. If he wants to surprise me, I’m going to let him. I don’t generally like surprises, but if it’s a surprise Jonathan has planned, I know I’ll like it.So why did I do
There’s only one word to describe the last three days…. INCREDIBLE! Okay, I could use many other words, but it seems most encompassing. Besides the gags, I’m fine with her wanting those gone since I prefer making her scream. We’ve tried everything in our playroom. When I first thought of converting this office storage area into a playroom, I was unsure how it would go. I didn’t want her to get offended and take this the wrong way. I also didn’t want my grand gesture to be sex because that’s not really showing someone that you love and putting them first. There is, of course, more to my gesture than this playroom. I just haven’t had a chance to show her. If we aren’t having sex, we’ve been sleeping, refueling, and hydrating. Shikoba was smart enough to think ahead and ensure the reception area kitchen was stocked with food and drinks. Not that it was enough. I had to text her this morning asking for more delivery to get us through the rest of the week. If Persephone weren’t in heat,
This week has been amazing and a whirlwind. The last thing I had expected Jonathan to do was set up a dark room for us, let alone in his office. I have zero complaints that he went ahead and did it. I didn’t expect it. Then again, I didn’t expect I’d ever want a room like that of my own. I always wrinkled my nose if I passed Alec and Crista’s dark room at the villa and shuddered just looking at the hallway that led to André and Darren’s wing of their villa. Yet I just spent a week enjoying a dark room with my mate. I’m also looking forward to using the space in the future. It will make breaks at work take on a whole new meaning. Not that we kept to the room. Sara was right in her prediction that we had sex everywhere in his office. On his desk, his office chair, the meeting table, the chairs at the table, the sofa, the club chairs, the coffee table, the floor, and of course, all the windows. The windows were hot since we could see out, but no one could see in. And I must be a devian
Do you know the saying that money can move mountains? Well, it might not be able to move a mountain literally, not that I’d want to relocate a mountain. That sounds ridiculous. But when you tell the pack contractor that money isn’t a problem, the only delays that can come are weather and product delivery. What could and probably should have taken a construction company a year or longer to complete was nearly finished in four months. Donovan has assured Persephone and me that our home will be ready and waiting for us to return from our honeymoon in late December. This is fine since we spend most of our time in the bunker or the lab in the office. We’ve had a lot on our plates, and I trust Donovan and his crew to get the job done and done right. You’d think wedding planning would be one of those things. And if we were any other couple, it probably would be, but we aren’t exactly normal. Persephone suggested we go to the courthouse in Portland and call it a day. I was on board with this
As much as I’m looking forward to today, I’m itching to return to the lab. I was sooo close to a breakthrough when my sisters, the ranked females of Bloodmoon, and Isis abducted me from the bunker. They are lucky I didn’t start breaking bones. It may have been months ago, but I will never be a fan of someone sneaking up on me or taking me anywhere against my will. I didn’t start throwing down because Sara talked sense into me and reassured me that the scents beyond the blindfold were my sisters and fellow ranked females. Kurt and the ranked Bloodmoon males had snatched Jonathan while he was returning from the reservation. None of them believed we would set aside the progress we’d been making on the treatment for Daniel to get married. All the cloak-and-dagger stuff was unnecessary. We would’ve left on our own. We did tell them we wouldn’t, you know, miss our wedding. ‘You know that’s a damn lie.’ Sara scoffed as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. ‘You hadn’t even packed. You’v
It’s been just over a year since Persephone came into my life. Meeting her has turned my world upside down in the best ways. Even if there were something negative to say about my PP (Post Persephone) life, I would never speak of it and deny it exists. Because even the negative that came from the turmoil of Lucian’s evil plans only brought us closer and helped me move forward from a past I spent years ignoring. I met my father, which was not the best moment of my life, but still nice to know he was alive. I’m still unsure how I feel about him, but I’ve dedicated myself to finding a treatment for his unique form of D.I.D. that his stupid super soldier serum created. It was a rough start. We could find a way to counter all but one ingredient from his original formula. Of course, he’d have to use an extinct plant. But our search for a treatment led to some awesome places. Like I got to see my mom or a remnant of her shaman power she stored in her pendant. And her gift for me and Persepho
