Training the Luna Chapter 39
Keegan POV:“Shit,” I cursed, looking for pants. “He is coming in pretty fast. Do you want us to refuse him entry?”“I am pretty sure at this point he would run your ass over, Jarred. Let him in.” I hung up and quickly located a pair of jeans and shoes. I threw on a shirt, kissing Vianne on her cheek before disarming the alarms. I didn’t want my cousin to alert her and Claire, who had her covers twisted around her feet, another trait she got from Vianne. I smiled and tucked her in gently, careful not to wake her. I left her room and decided to close the door in hopes she wouldn’t hear what was undoubtedly going to be a heated conversation. I heard Troy pull up just short of the front steps of the house. I groaned. What did he really want?Before I answered the door, I saw Vianne, her lips pressed together, wearing a robe and standing at the foot of the stairs. I grimaced because I hadn’t told

Keegan POV:“We both were,” she said with a sigh. “As I said before, I put something in his food to knock him out. He must have known something was off because he instantly sobered up when his eyes started drooping.”“There was a knock on the door,” she said thoughtfully. She pulled her knees to her chest in a defensive position. “He knew something wasn’t right and made himself sick on purpose. That alerted Janice.”“She was at the door and thought it was you.” It was simple math. Vianne nodded. “Janice forced the door open easily, but she was alone. Brant was on her immediately. He is a wolf, and he had a gun. He overpowered her easily and forced her on her knees and secured her with a cord from one of the lamps.” The pain etched on her face was heartbreaking. I couldn’t help but stroke her cheek. She turned to my touch and closed her eyes again, sighing.“B
Training the Luna Chapter 41
Keegan POV:Vianne’s eyes widened in confusion. “Why?”“He was from one of the opposing family members.”Her mouth dropped in horror as I continued. “The gun went off, and a bullet hit him in the stomach.”I felt her fingers brush over my cheeks. They came away wet. Looking away, I continued, “Mike just didn’t want me to kill his father.”“We had no idea he was from that family. We found out after that night that Mike’s dad was trying to topple his own brother as the boss and Mike overheard this. He thought running away was the best option and the enemy’s lair was the hiding spot he chose. His dad would never think to search there.”“Keegan. It wasn’t your fault.”I shook my head. “If I had checked my car, he would have been in bed like he was supposed to, instead of at the meeting. God, I was so angry that I… I killed hi

Keegan POV:I groaned when the familiar song blared from my phone the following night. Vianne moaned and tried to move away from me. “Go back to sleep. It’s just Dennis.”“Tell him to shut up,” she mumbled against my chest. I laughed and picked up my phone from the bedside stand. “Dennis,” I answered.“We found them,” he said.“Found who? Vivian and Victoria?” I asked, and suddenly Vianne became alert. “Yes.”“Are they okay?”“Yes, but Vianne’s sister is pissed off.”“Why?”“Well, Vianne and her mother never told her what the hell was going on. She is under the notion that Vianne is a selfish bitch.” I groaned. “Not that I blame Vianne or her mother,” Dennis continued. “She is just twenty. Too young to heart about the things her sister went through.”&
Training the Luna Chapter 43
Keegan POV:She went into detail about the fight, questioning Brant’s infidelity and the lies she had discovered. The timestamp was over three years ago. “I am heading to my mom’s with Claire,” she said. “Thank god Tory is visiting Nan. I couldn’t stand her seeing me—” she choked back another sob, “—like this.”And this continued, cataloging her injuries, explaining what had caused it. The asshole had stopped hitting her face… much. He chose instead to hit where the clothes could hide her bruises. She went on to explain why she endured it. “I need to find a way to keep my family safe,” she said at the camera, almost like a plea. “He threatened mom and Tory. She’s a kid. I can’t let him touch her.”I heard said sister sob and tumble to the floor. Another video started and the entries spanned over three years of abuse. “This is

Keegan POV:“Dennis,” Claire squealed, running into his arms the moment she saw him at school. He caught and spun her around and kissed both of her rosy cheeks. She giggled, squirming in his grasp before wrapping her arms around his neck. “I missed you. Is Grandpa here?”“Sure is, princess,” he said, letting her down. “He is in the car.”“Yay!” she screamed as she ran toward the car. After greeting Clement, she spun an amusing tale of a boy that had kissed her while pushing her on the swings. They even shared an extra juice box and vanilla pudding. ‘She is only six! Who is this boy? Where does he live?’I didn’t ask because Vianne seemed very amused. I would get Claire alone and ask for all information pertaining to this boy. I scowled. Apparently, I was muttering under my breath because Vianne leveled me with a glare. I mouthed, “She is only six!” At
Training the Luna Chapter 45
Keegan POV:I was positive I had overreacted to Dennis’ words. I was filled with tension since watching that damn video like I had been coiled like a spring all day with Clement breathing down my neck. Add on the realization of my feelings for Vianne and Claire, and I was itching for a fight.I needed to blow off some steam. I passed by Vivian and Clement’s room and heard Vianne and her mother still talking. I knocked softly and waited for someone to answer.“Hey,” I said when Vianne pocked her head out, her eyes red from crying. “Hey? What is the matter, sweetheart?” I cupped her face in my hands, pressing my lips over each of her eyelids.She shook her head. “I will tell you later,” she whispered. She pressed her lips against mine almost hesitantly. “My mother is telling me some things…”I froze, suddenly afraid that Vivian would tell her what I felt. What If she tried t

[WARNING: The last part of the chapter contains explicit sexual content. Read that bit at your own risk.] Keegan POV: I nodded and bit the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing. Clement Slater was still tearing up. His daughter had finally shown another emotion toward him besides anger. No wonder he was all choked up. “Now, show me what my daughter can do,” Clement said seriously. Vianne clapped happily. “Yay! Sparring. Let me change first. Be right back!” She ran down the stairs quickly, leaving Clement and me alone. His glare was back. Obviously. Clement advanced quickly, placing his hand on my shoulder. “Do not fuck this us, kid.” His hand tightened. “You are not going to find another one like her. Trust me.” I nodded and then he punched me in the gut. He hadn’t held back, knocking the breath from my lungs, making me gasp for breath. “You didn’t think you would get away without a bit of punishment, did you?” I shook my head and grunted as I got to my feet. “I didn’
