All Chapters of The Alpha's Desires For His Outcast Luna: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Melody Reese As Draven carried me out of the guest room, I chuckled bitterly and then pressed my lips together in a thin line. I could feel Draven's confusion in our bond, trying to understand me. He must have been waiting for me to crumple on my feet, but there was no way I was ready to cry for a man who was that selfish. I wondered if he sat down and thought about how his suicide would affect me. "It's enraging how he took an easy way out," I spat, shaking my head, as Draven just tightened his hold on me, listening. "What does your pack law say about suicide? Does a person get a befitting burial? Because my father sure as hell doesn't deserve that. What he deserves is to be thrown into the woods and left there to be feasted on by other animals," I spoke breathlessly, taking in shallow and fast breaths. "There isn't any law about that." He replied, staring at my face and trying yet again to read it. "I'm fine, Draven; stop worrying yourself. See, my emotions are open for you in o

Melody Reese "I know exactly what you're feeling right now," Scarlett said, holding my right hand in a gentle grip as we walked towards the training grounds. Pack members waved; some came to say hi, while others just simply smiled as we passed. I noticed the adoration in their eyes at our closeness, and that alone warmed my heart. "Do you?" I didn't mean to come off rude, but I asked anyway. "When my mother was captured and locked in the dungeons awaiting sentencing, I knew what was coming," she started, reminding me that she and I had a lot of similarities. "When I went to see her for the last time before her torture and murder at the hands of Draven's grandfather, I felt nothing for her," she continued, stopping to say hi to a group of teenagers who were rushing to get to the training grounds. "I would have stayed and watched her get killed and watch her body as they got rid of it, but I chose not to because I had something else to look forward to. I had Jaxon, and I just didn't

Melody Reese A week after my birthday and the cremation of my father's body, I sat beside the river, dipping my legs into the fresh, clean water. As promised, he had gotten me a Fiat 500 green car that was sizeable for me. As I enjoyed the feeling of the warm water on my feet, my mind drifted to my father. I hadn't attended his cremation, and I felt good about it. I had let go, and for the first time in a long time, I felt free. I felt like I was finally surrounded by people who actually cared, without secrets or hidden motives. A smile graced my face as I remembered how Scarlett had chosen to go shopping with me as the former alpha and some members oversaw the burning ceremony. "Nova was right; you are a witch." I pulled my lips back into a thin line when Mercy stepped out of the woods, hands pocketed in her navy blue sweats. For the past few days, she had been constantly on my way whenever I was alone, throwing rude remarks here and there. I had managed to ignore her and keep it f

Melody Reese "Tell me everything that happened while I was away," Mason asked as we sat in the back yard, enjoying the cool breeze. The sun was high in the sky, with a few dark clouds drifting from afar. "Remember Nova's only remaining minion?" I asked, sipping water from the standard glass that I held. "Mercy? Of course," he spat with disgust, taking several gulps of beer. After coming back from spying on the Starfall pack, Mason reported to Draven and then came to see me immediately after that. He hadn't even gone to see Davis and the likes of Jones because, according to him, I was more special. "The she-wolf has been up on my business for days now. Two days ago, she followed me to the river and began insulting me." I hadn't told Draven yet, given that the day I went to tell him we ended up having sex and forgetting what had taken me there in the first place. "Please tell me you put her in her place," he said. "I tried to," I spoke, lowering my voice, then sipped from my glass

Melody Reese "I couldn't have guessed you had such a cruel past." I sparked up a conversation between Mason and me a few days after he revealed what happened. During the days we spent apart, he, Draven, and his closest and most trusted warriors were plotting an attack based on the map of Nathan's pack. The secret meetings went on until late at night, and most of the time I had to stay with the Draven's parents, bonding with them. "I couldn't let it show; I had a plan to follow.," he said it nonchalantly as he circled a spot on the map with black ink. We were currently in his shared room in the pack house with Davis. "Anyway, that's not why I came." I changed the topic just as soon as I started it. "Where have you reached concerning Mercy?" I asked, placing my elbows on my knees as I made myself comfortable on his queen-sized bed. "And, btw, why are you still living here? You deserve your own quarters, or a cabin. Didn't Draven offer you a suitable place for your rank?" I added, wa
