LOGINI was in bed with Carson. He didn't have his arm wrapped around me though. I was able to slide out of bed without moving him. Carson must have helped me undress, because I was only wearing panties and a tshirt. I went in my closet and put on a pair of shorts and an oversized sweatshirt. I pulled on a pair of socks. I wanted to finish reading the book. I needed to know the rest of Astra's story. I moved as quietly as I could out of our suite. I took my keys and went down the hall. I told the Warriors, "I'm going up to Uncle Leo's library. I can't sleep and I'd like to read. If you need to follow me, fine but it's really not necessary." One of the Warriors smiled and said, "Celia, we aren't watching you currently. We will stay right here. If you need help, you can call for us." I thanked the Warriors and walked up to the Beta floor. As I reached the library door, a door down the hall opened. Beta Mun stepped out into the hall. He was only wearing sweatpants and running shoes. He was
The guards had been back on the landing when Carson and I came down with the pups. I guessed I was still being babysat. I tried to ignore it, though it annoyed me. I tried my best to be in a good mood for the pups. We were laughing and chatting as we ate dinner with the pups. I overheard a little of the conversation between Beta Mun, Alpha Zev and Uncle Leo. Apparently, Beta Mun was here conducting the interrogations of the rogues. I guess I had lied to Twit. Beta Mun didn't know me and although he had seen the marks on my body, I doubted he harbored any anger over how bad I looked or how severe my injuries had been. 'Doesn't matter, the rogues will all still die. The information will still be gathered to hopefully rescue other girls and stop what is going on.' My wolf said. 'It does matter. Will someone that doesn't know me ask the right questions? Will someone that doesn't know me care if the rogues lie?' I frowned. It bothered me that the interrogations were being done by someo
Celia called me and asked if I could find time to talk today about the unnamed wolf story. I smiled. I was happy to hear she had finally read it. I told her we could meet before dinner. 'Her wolf was very pessimistic when I asked if they had looked at the story yet.' Miles said. I crossed the hall to the library and walked in. Carson was sitting on the couch and Celia was sitting with her back on the armrest and her legs over his lap. He was reading a book and rubbing her leg. She was reading the book I had found for her. Carson said, "Hi Beta Leo." Celia looked up and smiled. "Hi Uncle Leo. I'm not sure how a Luna origin story helps me. I'm not a future Luna. I'm not fated to an Alpha heir." "It's not about rank. The lesson is that we each have a role within the pack and accepting our role gives us purpose." Celia frowned. "So I'm supposed to be happy being a Luna assistant and working a few hours a day? I don't want that to be my life. I'm bored. There is no challenge in being
When I believed I had gotten everything I could out of Messenger, I sent him back to his cell. He was definitely in pain and the Warrior retrieving him seemed happy to make it a little worse. The Warrior grabbed him by the shoulder I had broken, guiding him with a firm hand and a big smile. After he was gone, I turned to Aidan. "This is the best intel we have gotten. I need the notes typed and sent encrypted to these three email addresses as soon as possible. Can you make that happen?" Aidan nodded, "I figured with the Golden Claw connection, we would need to do that. Alaina has volunteered to type them for us and Neil said he will get them encrypted and prepared. With the email addresses, he will get them sent as well."I smiled and thought, 'Good, Neil and Alaina found a way to spend time together.' I don't like using pain or fear to do my job, it's a necessity as a Beta to protect my pack and my Alpha. Hearing that a good mate relationship might result from my being here in Moon
"Aidan, let's have Messenger next please." I said. He nodded. Sergi and Neil came in, each carrying a chair. "Neil, I am sorry but I do not want you in here. However, I would like to give you some advice. Spend time with Alaina, she likes you and wants to get to know you.""What? How do you know? Today is the first time I ever even talked to her." He said surprised. I sighed and said, "She blushed when I said your name. When I asked her a question, she included you by name in her answer. She likes you, trust me. Go find her and ask her out to dinner to talk about teaching her more coding skills."Neil smiled and said, "Thanks!" He left and I hoped he was going to look for Alaina. Sergi chuckled, "Look at the big, bad Beta playing matchmaker." I smiled, "I like seeing people end up with their mates. I'm a romantic at heart." The door opened. A huge Warrior was escorting Messenger and he slammed him down into the chair. "Anything you want to say to me about how to handle him or abo
I felt so much better after our run. I hopped in the shower and dressed in casual clothes. I kissed Carson and said, "I'm going to work in the library for a little while." I kissed him again and left. He laughed, "A little while...I'll come get you when I think you need to eat." I smiled, he knew I would get absorbed into a book and lose track of time.There were still no Warriors on the landing. 'We confronted the rogues, now there is no reason to watch us to make sure we don't go to the jail.' My wolf said. 'I'm not sure that's the reason. It will be nice if they don't return, but I'm not convinced yet.' I told her.I unlocked the library door and went inside. I went to the table where my pile of books was sitting. I reshelved the three I had finished. 'You should look at the book Leo found. Miles asked if I had let you read it this morning. Leo will ask you today too.' My wolf said quietly. 'You sure? I can tell Uncle Leo we aren't ready yet.' 'I'm sure. I don't think it will h
When she didn't walk into our English class, I started panicking. I asked Jax "Why didn't you walk with Celly from your last class?""I haven't seen Celly, I assumed she stayed home today. I'm surprised to see you. I figured you'd be with Celly." Before he even finished, I was out of my seat. I hea
Getting close to Celia again turned out to be easier than I thought. I didn't realize she visited the packhouse. But I had moved to the unmated Warriors quarters a couple of years ago and didn't visit the packhouse much. I had recently been called as a member of the Gamma family to protect Ashley,
Once I got home, I showered and changed into an outfit my Mom had bought me. It's not really my style, but I wear outfits my Mom picks for our weekly dinner. I want to be the daughter she wants. I put on the sapphire blue shirt. I can't wear a bra with it, since it is a backless, drapey, silky thin
I couldn't wait for English class to give Celia back her clothes because the scent was driving me insane. There was the rich clove scent that all Moonless Night Pack members shared, but her specific scent was tart, citrusy and sweet honey. Her scent was amazing. I guess I had never gotten close eno
