Chapter Twenty-four—The Alpha’s Identity

“What do I get in return?” He asked.

I shrugged lightly, “I’ll give you the other painting.”

“Free?”

I hesitated for a moment and then broke a smile, “Yes. I’ll give it—

“No,” he shook his head, “How much do you want for it?”

I frowned deeply, my sense of pride slowly filing me, “What if I want to sell it for five grand? What will you—

“Consider it done.” He said abruptly, “I’ll have a check written by tomorrow.”

My eyes widened in disbelief. He really was as rich as I claimed. I gulped hard, my ever prideful self and shook my head, “You can have it. I don’t want your money.”

I needed his money. I already quit my job and being an undiscovered artist in such a small town wasn’t enough. Madeline paid me good and with the food scraps I get from the restaurant, I was able to make a living and pay off my parents mortgage on the house. Now I only had my canvas going for myself, his m

  • The Moonlight Affair    Chapter Thirty-three—The Alpha is acting strange

    Chapter Thirty-three—The Alpha is acting strange Five grand. Asher left me a Cheque of five thousand dollars. There was a tiny note in between it; “The painting.” I sighed deeply, remembering it all too well. Then a frown followed, as a the memories of our first night being so close played through my very own head. It was my best work yet—he was my best muse yet. I nipped my bottom lip as I folded the Cheque into my apron, must to less knowledge of Madeline. I returned to my job in the kitchen, taking orders, smiling at the customers, until night came. Madeline made a mention of me going straight home. I looked at the note in my pocket one last time, then I let out another sigh as I crumpled it up, before throwing it inside the garbage can right out back. My bicycle was miraculously parked right outside the diner, I grunted as I hopped on it, taking the ride straight home. I wasn’t going to Monsoon creek, not after what happened the last time. The horrif

  • The Moonlight Affair    Chapter Thirty-two—An undeniable Chemistry

    Chapter Thirty-two—An undeniable Chemistry **AURORA** In a million years I never thought I would go down on my knees, right in the middle of the restaurant, and close to a grease trap to beg for my job back. Madeline had a triumphant look on her face, the same one that urged me to shove her head into the pot of boiling oil. It was like she knew I would be back. The only reason I was back, was so that I could reoccupy my mind by working tirelessly at the diner. I couldn’t bear thinking about him—not now, not ever. My heart had been through enough already. “You’re so lucky I haven’t hired someone new.” She grunted. A part of me wished she did, so I could take the disappointment and walk out of the building without shame. I gulped hard instead. She didn’t say another word, instead she hurled an apron at me and pointed to table five which was in need of a waiter. I let out a sigh. Days ago I was happy, truly happy. I was with a man, enamored beyond remorse. He was my m

    Chapter Thirty-one—Stay away(2) “Don’t be absurd.” I grunted heavily, deeply in need of a rest, “What do you want Dinah?” She frowned, those quizzical eyes of hers wandering deeply, “You’re acting weird. You’ve been acting weird. Did I do something wrong?” I shook my head , “I’ve just had a rough couple of— “Bacon grease.” “What?” “Bacon grease, pancakes and a plethora of all other feminine scent. Have you been in contact with a woman? I can practically smell her all over— “Master Asher has been in cohorts with a distant cousin of his, she’s a Luna from out of town. She’s visiting to see Midnight Bay.” I heard Reagan’s voice from behind me, almost plummeting to the floor to kiss those ever shiny boots of his. He always knew when to come in and save the day, especially when I really needed bailing out. Dinah’s right brow perked up, “I didn’t know you had a cousin.” “Distant.” I responded, “Now can I go to bed?” I wanted her to leave. I wanted h

  • The Moonlight Affair    Chapter Thirty—Stay Away

    Chapter Thirty—Stay Away *ASHER* “Stay away!!” She cried out, running down the street, “Stay away from me!!” “Aurora please—“ I begged, running after her, “Please wait and listen to me goddamnit!” Gosh she was stubborn. I could easily outrun her all thanks to my abilities , but with the circumstance I was in i couldn’t risk scaring her even more. I withheld myself, tagging along behind her as she slowed down. Her steps still quickened nonetheless, looking backwards countlessly as I could hear her panting. “Aurora just listen to me.” I pleaded. Out of nowhere, she grabbed a garden rake and pointed it me, like i was some kind of animal she needed to steer clear from. It hurt me. The woman I had formed such a soulful connection with, treating me like I was a monster. I probably was. I lied to her. I slept with her. I got obsessive over her. I’m in— “Please…” I begged, my eyes now glistening. She dropped the fork, still panting heavily, those beautiful eyes o

  • The Moonlight Affair    Chapter Twenty-Nine—An Unmistakable Secret

    Chapter Twenty-Nine—An unmistakable secret “I’m not killing Aurora.” “You have no choice.” “Choice?” Asher scoffed, “Killing a human is an even greater law than bonding with one. Do you even know what you’re asking of me?!” “You’re right,” Reagan sighed deeply, “You’re already in too deep. You just had to interact with a human didnt— “I had no other choice,” frowning deeply, “Aurora is my mate and I- “You had a choice Asher. You should have stayed away before the bond grew deeper and now here we are!” He snapped at me, I would’ve fired back if he wasn’t much older than me. A minute of silence passed between us, I was seething in annoyance and he just didn’t care, “Memory wiping.” “What?” I blinked hard. Reagan sighed, “It’s a very ancient practice, one which I haven’t done in years but if I read the right books we can— “No,” shaking my head vigorously, “I’m not wiping away the memories of an innocent woman. I’m not wiping her memories of me away, not in a million y

  • The Moonlight Affair    Chapter Twenty-Eight—Breaking a bond

    Chapter Twenty-Eight—Breaking a bond “How do I break it?” “You can’t” “Surely there must be a way.” “I’m sorry but there isn’t.” “So you’re saying there’s no way I can sever the bond between me and the alpha??” Mrs Ackerman shook her head in disappointment, “I’m sorry dear but there isn’t”, then she paused for a moment, “Unless…” My eyes pried even more open, a glimmer of hope found its way back, “Unless what?” She sighed and then placed a hand over me, “You’ll have to kill the Alpha. Only then can you be free Aurora.”**ASHER**I found it hard to track her scent. The flowers, and the wolfsbane. My eyes still stung from the after effects of the fight with the rogue werewolf. I winced loudly as I made it back to the Blackwood mansion, Reagan and his ever indulging self waiting for me at the brunt of the stairs. I ignored him and turned straight for the living room. My eyes crossed paths with Aurora’s painting again which made me feel even more
