The cheated Luna returns.

Grace's POV. "I think I might head out soon." Rhyder turned to face me, he immediately looked concerned. "Why? What's wrong?" I reached for his hands and held them in mine. I smiled sweetly up at him as I spoke. "Nothing, I'm fine - really. I'm just tired and want to call it an early night." Rhyder reached down and gently stroked my jaw with the very tip of his thumb. The concern in his velvety eyes turned to adoration. "Okay, let me just grab my jacket real quick and we can go." I stopped him before he could walk away. I was feeling tired and I did want to go to bed early, but I also had another very important reason for wanting to leave. And it was something that I had to do alone. "You don't have to come with me, I'll be fine, really. Stay - hang out with your friends, and have a good time. I'll see you again in the morning." He looked hesitant as he wrapped his muscular, tattooted arms around my waist and pulled me into him. "Are you sure, babe? I really don't mind go

Rhyder's POV. "She told me that she's pregnant."Silence filled the room as my mother stared at me in disbelief with a gaping mouth.A second later, she regained her composure and closed her mouth, reclaiming her role as the stoic Luna of our pack."Is she sure?"She asked cautiously while flattening an imaginary crease from her dress."She says that she took a few tests."My voice remained flat, void of any real emotion."And you believe her?"I stared at my mother for a few seconds, searching my mind for any possible reason that Alexis would have lied to me about something like that.I came up empty."Why would she lie to me, mother?"Another beat of tense silence fell as she also searched for a possible reason. A moment later, she sighed heavily, her delicate shoulders slumping slightly. A sombre shadow fell across her face."I'm not saying that she is, Rhyder. I just want to make sure that she's not - many have done far worse to get what they want."I caught the hint of distrust

Rhyder's POV."I've made up my mind. I'm going to talk to Alexis as soon as I get back home - and then I'm going to find Grace and fix things with her."Jackson, my future Beta, jerked his head in my direction and looked at me with cocked brows."That won't be easy for Alexis to hear, mate. You should know how she feels about you by now - all those letters she's sent these past months...""I know. And breaking another girl's heart is the last thing that I want to do, but I can't give her what she wants from me - my heart belongs to Grace, so does my wolf. It's not fair to Alexis to make her think otherwise."Jackson nodded his head slowly and waited for me to continue."Of course, I'll do right by my child. But I have to do right by Grace and myself as well. I can't spend another day letting Grace think that I don't care about how much I hurt her. I have to find her. I have to tell her how sorry I am. And I have to prove to her how much she means to me.""I'm on your side, mate. You

Rhyder's POV.Alexis was sobbing uncontrolably. Her entire body rocked with each fresh wave of sobs that tore through her."What do you mean? What happened? What are you talking about?"I tried to get an answer from her - any kind of explanation. But she only choked on another sob and clutched at the fabric of my t-shirt.She was inconsolable.I didn't know what to do. My heart went out to the state that she was in. I had no idea what she was talking about, but whatever it was had to be horrible for her to be this broken.I wrapped my arm around her and gently stroked her hair with my other hand. At first, she only cried louder. I pulled her closer and after another few moments she finally calmed down enough to look at me.I've never seen anyone look as sad and as shattered as she did in that moment.I was almost too scared to ask again. But I knew that I had to.I slowly wiped the tear stains from her eyes and tucked her hair behind her ears. I kept my voice low."Talk to me. Pleas

Grace's POV.'I don't think I can do this.'I finally texted Meghan after sitting in my car for almost twenty minutes.I only had a few miles left to go before reaching pack territory and I was doing fine. But as soon as Black Peak Mountain came into view, I lost my nerve.I white-knuckled the steering wheel so hard that my hands began to ache - my breathing grew shallow and rapid, and my stomach turned upside-down so fast that I had to swallow the sick that was crawling up into my mouth.I pulled the car over and had to force myself to take a few deep breaths just so that I could calm down.I jumped when my phone started ringing in my lap.It was Meghan. She was face-timing me."Hey, G. What's up?"Her face was more than a welcome sight. I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she came into view."I think I'm losing my mind. I don't know why I ever thought that I could do this."My voice broke a little as a new lump formed in my throat. Tears pricked behind my eyes."Grace, you need t
