The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 123: Confrontation
BRONTË"How long have you been standing there?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper."Long enough," he says.He steps into the library and closes the door behind him, the soft click of the latch loud in the silence."You shouldn't be here," I say."Neither should you. It's past midnight.""I came to see if—" I stop, holding up the book. "You left this.""I know.""You've been leaving all of them.""I know that too."We stand there in the dim light, the distance between us feeling both too far and too close at the same time."Why are you doing this?" I ask finally."Doing what?""This. The books. The messages. Why are you doing this to me?""To you?" He takes a step closer. "You think I'm doing this to you?""Aren't you?""I'm doing this to both of us." He runs his hand through his hair. "Every time I tell myself to stay away, every time I promise myself I won't come back here, I end up in this library leaving you another message like I can't help myself.""Then stop.""I've tried."
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 122: What He Hides
BRONTË "Stay with you?" I repeat, my voice coming out steadier than I feel."Yes." He pulls me closer, his hands on my waist. "I want you with me tonight. In my room. In my bed.""Alexander—""We're getting mated soon, Bronte. There's nothing wrong with us being together now.""I know, but—""But what?" He tilts my head up so I'm looking at him. "Are you nervous?""A little.""Don't be." He kisses my forehead. "I'll take care of you. I always take care of you."My mind races for an excuse, any excuse that won't make him more suspicious than he already is."I want to," I say carefully. "But I also want to wait.""Wait for what?""For the ceremony. For it to be official." I take a step back. "I know it's traditional to be together before, but I'd like to do this the right way. Wait until we're properly mated."He studies my face. "Since when do you care about tradition?""Since I realized how important this is. We're binding ourselves together forever. I want it to be special, not rush
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 121: The Art of Pretending
Bronte's POVSerena is still talking.Her arms are warm around me and she smells and she's saying something about how excited she is for the mating ceremony, but I'm not really listening because over her shoulder I can see Sebastian across the room.He's looking right at me.I don't know what my face does in that moment but whatever it is, he sees it. He sets his drink down on the mantle slowly, deliberately, and straightens up.He starts walking.He doesn't rush, doesn't push through the crowd, just moves through the party with his hands in his pockets like he's going nowhere in particular, stopping briefly to say something to one of the warriors he passes. But his eyes stay on me the whole time and I feel every step he takes.Serena is still talking."...and I was telling Alexander just this morning that Blue Moon Pack hasn't had a Luna in so long, we're all just so ready for—"Sebastian stops right beside us. He doesn't look at Serena. He looks at me, and up close his expression is
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 120: Cutting Ties
BRONTË I barely slept.Every time I close my eyes I see Alexander's hand on the bathroom door handle, see Sebastian pressed against the wall inside, see how close we came to everything falling apart.By the time morning comes I'm exhausted and my head pounds.I drag myself out of bed and get dressed, dreading going downstairs but knowing I have to.The dining room is already full when I arrive. Pack members eating breakfast, talking quietly, the usual morning routine.Alexander sits at the head of the table with his beta beside him.When he sees me, his expression doesn't change."There you are," he says, his voice neutral. "I was beginning to think you'd sleep all day.""Sorry, I didn't sleep well.""Again." He gestures to the empty chair beside him. "Sit."I sit and one of the pack members immediately brings me coffee and a plate."Thank you," I say quietly.Alexander continues his conversation with his beta about patrol schedules, but I can feel him watching me from the corner of
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 119: The Lake
BRONTË Alexander drives us himself, no beta, no guards, just the two of us in his car heading away from the pack house."Where are we going?" I ask."You'll see." He reaches over and takes my hand, lacing our fingers together. "I wanted to spend some time alone with you before things get even more hectic with the ceremony preparations."I look out the window as the pack territory passes by, trees and trails I've started to recognize from my time here, and I try to remember the last time Alexander and I were alone like this, just us without pack business or ceremony planning or other people watching.I can't remember."You're quiet," he says."Just tired. I didn't sleep well.""Still having those bad dreams?""Something like that.""You should talk to the pack healer. She can give you something to help you sleep." He squeezes my hand. "I need you well-rested for all the preparations coming up."We drive for another twenty minutes until the trees open up and I see water sparkling in th
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 118: Everything She Left Behind
BRONTË The last thing I remember is Alexander walking me upstairs and kissing my forehead at my door.And then it's morning.Irina is already up, already dressed, already pulling my wardrobe open with the kind of energy that should be illegal before eight. She holds up two dresses, comparing them, completely unbothered by the fact that I'm sitting up in bed still wearing last night's clothes."You slept in your dress," she says without turning around."I noticed.""The zipper left a mark on your back." She hangs one dress back and lays the other across the chair. "Your mother is downstairs making enough food to feed both packs. She's already cried once and it's not even eight o'clock."I reach back to find the zipper. "Can you—"She's already there, undoing it with practiced fingers. "You're really leaving today.""That was always the plan.""I know." She helps me step out of the dress, hands me the one she picked. "I just didn't think it would feel like this.""Like what?"She looks
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 5: Play Along For A While
NARAYA“Tell me you are joking, Raya.” Zilla's eyes widened behind her glasses. I lowered my gaze, suddenly picking interest in tracing the lines in my palm.“I’m not.”“Geez, Raya, you are twenty-three, not eighteen. How could you let that happen?”Neither of us spoke for a moment as we let the mu
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 4: Hell No!
NARAYAMost wolves reluctantly settle for the option of a chosen mate only when they have completely exhausted all hopes of finding their fated mate after decades of waiting. Or perhaps when their true fated mate passes from this world—that’s also after years of emptiness and loneliness.But those
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 3: Don't Take It To Heart
NARAYA“Roger… where are you?” Melissa's voice drifted down the corridor. Her heels echoing closer.The aggressive heat in Roger's eyes melted into a cold panic. He dropped his hand from my shirt, stepping back just enough to break the intimate space between us.“Play along,” he whispered, his orbs
The Luna He Never Deserved CHAPTER 2: You Are Mine
NARAYA“Daddy? Who is this woman?”A cold, unexplainable ache ripped through my chest as the little boy’s words echoed in my head for a few seconds.My Roger... Daddy?I stared at Roger, waiting for an explanation. A laugh. An indication that the pup was lying, joking, or even wrong.But his face w
