“What are you doing here?”Hunter’s form in the doorway sets red filling my vision. It’s been a while since I saw his face and though my days haven’t been peaceful, they’ve been bearable.His face makes everything feel the worst kind of unbearable and I want it gone.“Leave.”My word is crisp and clear and I see Hunte’s eyes widen before he scoffs.“You haven’t even heard what I want to say.”“I don’t want to hear it. I want you gone, now. Leave. You aren’t allowed here anymore.”“And who says I'm not?” He takes a step into the room, “I have every right to be here, my child is here, and so is his mother. If you didn’t want me here, you wouldn’t ask Roman to keep them hostage.”I drop the food in my hands first so I don't spill it in anger. I’d probably burn my leg badly if even a drop of it touched me and I won't let Hunter do that to me.I face him fully and make the look on my face neutral. I hate the fact that I know this about Hunter, but I do and it’s a simple fact. The emotions

There’s crisp silence in the room and Roman sits on the side of my bed. There’s a heavy dip where he settles but it comforts me to feel that dip. I hear his breath go deeper, I hear Roman’s blood begin to rush heavier and there’s the need to have him lay on the bed with me in my blood. An image of that forms in my mind and I chuckle because it would be weird. Roman in the powerfully tailored suit and his leather shoes lying in the too-small hospital bed with me. I reach for his hand instead, and he takes mine in his immediately. I ask lowly, “Are you okay, Roman?” Roman huffs in an emotion that feels like bitter amusement and he turns to look at me, “How?” Explaining how means bringing up my conversation with Hunter and I'm not ready for that yet so I ask quizzically, “Do you know Elara has a master’s in genetic engineering?” I feel something hit me in the gut immediately because I was wrong. I thought bringing up my conversation with Hunter would be appalling yet even this manag

“Roman would make such a great dad.”I keep the look on my face blank as Priam approaches me, a smile on his face. I nod when he gets to me because yeah, Roman will.“We’re not here to talk about my husband, are we?”Priam chuckles and leans on the hood of my car. He brings out a thin object from his pocket and places it between his lips. My suspicions are confirmed when the metallic ring of a lighter is heard and I cock an eyebrow up at him, asking, “You smoke now?”Priam shrugs and takes a deep puff of his cigarette stick, walking a few paces away before blowing out the smoke and walking back to me as he replies, “It’s… a special treatment kind of thing, plus it was either this or daily visits to the hospital for a dosage. I chose the option that’d make me look cool as a High Councilor.”I snort, “High Councilors don’t smoke. They act creepy and pass laws, things like that.”Priam pulls from his cigarette stick again, mouth brimming with white smoke as he replies, “ Well this one

“What are we looking at here?” Roman gives me a look from where he’s seated but I plead with him silently. He had to come back from work because of this, and I had to call in someone I don't think he really likes. Priam crosses his legs and leans back on the couch, his gaze scrutinizing as he watches the video. I can tell that they’re all waiting for me to explain but I’ve already explained. “Someone, or something, deleted footage from the Ironclaw archives a few days ago. As you can see from the footage, there’s bascially no one there, but activity is going on in the room. It’s… a cause for concern at least, because what if this thing harms one of us? It could kill a pack member right here in the packhouse, or do worse, I don’t know. It’s spooky that there might be an invisible person in the packhouse.” Roman’s voice floats into my ears solidly, “It’s more than spooky. It’s a valid cause for concern, especially with the Moon Jubilee set to be held here in a day. This is a secu

The Night is warm with lights and the mansion is decorated to glimmering perfection.Roman stands like a beacon of light in my mind and he kisses the side of my neck, holding me around the waist and plastering his cheek against mine.“You look ravishing.”I can’t help the butterflies that flutter in my stomach when I look at the both of us in the mirror. Roman is fully focused on me, the sight of me, the feel of me. It’s astonishing when I realize the fact that he’s mine.His love. His heart. His sexy sexy body.“I almost don’t want you to go out in this suit.”Roman chuckles at my remark and picks something up from the table beside us, placing it on my head and looking at me with a smile when our eyes meet in the mirror again.His words bolster me, “The crown of the Luna, for the one and only Luna.”I nod and chuckle because he’s right. That’s what I am. I am his Luna, and we have a party to throw.The Moon Jubilee is in full swing by the time I and Roman come downstairs. The hall is
