《Her Alpha》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

I woke up alone in the bed, and it took me a minute to collect myself. It was half-past eight, so Duncan was probably in his office already. I dragged myself to the bathroom and opened the hot water, meeting my not too pretty reflection in the mirror.I felt as bad as I looked. I was sleepy and tired, and my stomach was already upset even though I haven’t eaten a thing yet. And that nausea made me remember what I almost forgot after everything that happened.I stopped the shower and went back to our room. I found my purse abandoned in the corner and dug up the two small boxes I hid there yesterday. Since Duncan left, it was as good a time as any, I thought, studying the instructions.I went back to the bathroom, and did everything as written, then stepped into the shower. The few minutes it took the test to show result would have been an eternity to wait, so I thought I would wash up in the meantime.The hot water always helped me relax, but now my hand was shaking as I reached for th

Monday arrived, and so did my promised visitor. I stopped at the bottom of the stairs I just ran down on, and swiftly adjusted my clothes and my hair.I had a terrible morning, spending most of it leaning over the toilet, getting rid of the breakfast I hadn’t even eaten, so by now I could only hope to look decent. I took a deep breath and stepped into the library.“Alpha Jonah,” I called respectfully, and the old man turned to me.“Moira Conners,” he said solemnly. “I’m happy to see you again, dear,” he smiled.“You remember me,” I awed, returning his friendly smile.We only met twice, several years before, so I wasn’t sure if he would remember me. When I called him yesterday, I introduced myself as Duncan’s mate, and he didn’t seem to realize, but now I could tell from his eyes that he actually remembered me.“Of course I do,” his smile widened. “How could I forget a young lady who beat me so shamefully?”I blushed a little at that. Alpha Jonah was a devoted chess player, and an exce

Like on most occasions, we ended up in Duncan’s office. He gave his chair to the King and stood by his side like Noah usually did beside him. In front of the desk sat Bianca and Nico, the Beta of the Silver Moon. His Alpha was still unconscious, locked up in the basement, just like their other men.“Doctor?” I linked our pack doctor as everyone settled in the room.“Yes, Luna,” he answered immediately.“How is Caleb?”Bianca stayed by his side till the operation ended, and the doctor removed the bullet. He told her that Caleb should be fine now, but I wanted to know if that really was the case, or if he just didn’t want to frighten Bianca even more.“His condition is quite severe, but his life is not in danger anymore,” he said calmly, and I settled into my usual armchair in the corner. “Even though it was quite close to his heart, the bullet only hit muscles, and I removed it without complications. What I’m concerned about is the silver that got into his bloodstream.”“What can be do

The big day had come, I thought, standing at the bedroom window, looking down on the bustle on the lawn. Tables and chairs were set up, lampions hung from trees and the sunshades, and I saw two men trying to start a huge grill.It looked like a huge family grill party, and I loved it.Luna ceremonies were happy occasions for all packs, but usually quite ceremonial happenings. I wanted mine to be more about the pack, and having a good time with everyone. Considering all the attacks and difficulties we had in the past 2 months, people really needed some fun.We already made plans with Emma before telling Duncan about it. He just smiled, kissed my forehead, and let me have my way. So we planned a garden party for the afternoon, with cheer and lots of food. I would take my oath after sunset, and I would have my first run with the pack later in the night. Of course, Duncan and Noah doubled the patrols, and every warrior was on standby, but I really hoped nothing would happen today. We hav

I was sitting with my back against a big old tree, rising my face to enjoy the sunshine. It was already the end of May, and the chilly weather of the spring finally started warming up.I was tired, but in the woods I finally felt calm, at least. I breathed in the sweet scent of wildflowers and blooming trees, and listened to the soft noises of the forest.The small fricioning noise of Rosie’s pencils working on the paper blended into the noises of nature so perfectly, it took me some time to realize it had stopped. I opened my eyes and met a pair of round green eyes in a serious little face.“What’s the matter, cupcake?” I asked, studying her troubled expression.It was slowly becoming a habit of ours, to come for a walk together. Sometimes we picked flowers and collected all kinds of stuff in the forest, sometimes like today, we just sat at a nice place and Rosie would draw. Once I even shifted into my wolf and carried her. She enjoyed it so much.But today we were both a little more
