บททั้งหมดของ Preferred by the Luna : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

The thrill of his kiss wasn’t a surprise, but Emma was surprised at how many emotions she felt at once. She was excited and aroused at his hands on her waist and his mouth on hers. She felt slight confused at how easily she responded to him. She knew that many pack members had chosen mates but she had always assumed that their connection wasn’t as intense. Now, with new feelings developing for Quincy she realize that it wasn’t any less, it just didn’t come all at once. The hardest feeling was caused by her late bond. In the back of her mind there was this part of her that said this was wrong. Ignoring that warning in her head, she focused on the feelings that made kissing him feel good. She let one had caress his broad shoulders and upper arms. His muscles bunched under her touch and she loved it. Her other hand gripped the waist of his pants. Pulling him closer into her embrace. Their kiss had started slow and soft but now it was hungry. Her dress slid up her thighs and he caressed

“Let’s focus on Alice today, and tomorrow we focus on the Luna.” Steven left the Beta’s office and Quincy went to find Emma. She was elbow deep in paperwork and muttering to herself. He gently tapped the door and she looked up. “Any news on the Lycan team?” Emma shook her head, “No. I suspect they’ll be here soon though. How was your sister?” Quincy sat and took a stack of papers. He rifle through them, sorting them by priority. “She’s doing as good as can be expected. My dad drop by to check on me. He’s worried about Alice and my mother is hovering. I’ve had a lot on my mind and I feel like I’m getting tunnel vision. I’m wondering, did you ever, or do you have any concerns about how Alice got to us? I feel like the more we learn about this situation the more complex it is. Maybe there is more to it, and we’re missing it. I think that our focus has been on helping Alice with adjusting when we should be looking more into the entirety of the situation she came from. Does that make sense

Emma went to the pack nursery and was greeted by young she wolf. “Good afternoon Luna, are you here to pick up the little alpha? Emma smiled but shook her head. “No, I have more meetings this afternoon, but I wanted to spend some time with him before I had to go back to the office.” She went down the hall and found her son’s classroom. His teacher was sitting in the floor, surrounded by four babies in bouncy seats, reading a story book. Caleb was happily cooing at the hanging toys above his chair. When Emma entered, the teacher gently lay the book down and inclined her head in respect. “Good afternoon Luna, are you here to pick up the little alpha?” Emma smiled at the nickname. “No, unfortunately I have to go back to meetings later, but I did want to spend some time with him.” She sat on the floor and unbuckled him from the bouncer. “Continue reading please, the kids seem to like it.” Emma snuggle Caleb, covering his face with kisses as they listen to the story. When the story had end

Once the interview was done, Emma felt for confused than ever. Alice had answered every question they asked and she seemed to be telling the truth about everything except how she escaped. For days now Emma had been replaying it in her head, and she couldn’t comprehend why. Today she decided to have Alice over to discuss it. Caleb went to the nursery, and Quincy had left with the Lycan team to apprehend some of the names she had given. Hera was ever present for her protection, but for this conversation, she wanted to be alone. It was mid afternoon, and she was relaxing in her suite when Alice arrived. She inclined her head, “Good afternoon Luna. Thank you for inviting me. I was quite surprised when you asked me to come.” Emma waved her hand, “never be surprised when I ask for your company. I do consider you a friend, however, I must admit I had more than companionship on my mind when I asked you to join me.” Alice took a seat next to Emma. “Oh really? What did you have on your mind?”

“It’s nothing personal Emma. This is how our culture works. Every pack needs an Alpha and a Luna. The pack works together so everyone is provided for and protected. They are looking out for the best interest of the pack.” Quincy series on with his point of view, but Emma was so taken aback that she didn’t hear the rest of it. Anger filled her, and she felt her face and neck heat up. “I can’t believe you just said that to me. After months of working alongs side of me, you’re agreeing with them? As if I cannot manage or protect the pack simply because I am female?” She didn’t even realize that her power was filling the room. Quincy flinched slightly as it hit him, drawing his full attention to how upset she truly was. He fully submitted to her without hesitation, baring his neck to her. Emma ignored the gesture and made no effort to control her aura. “There are times when society needs to change. Broken Paw Pack has been fine under my leadership. It is insane to think that I cannot ma
