All Chapters of The Alpha's Unwanted Luna : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

I am jumping back into Silver Crescent Pack to explore what is happening in Ben's world after Kennedy leaves with Ryker. This story will be more drawn out as I work through this and two other works. You can expect updates on the weekends. If I can throw in a bonus chapter in the middle of the week, you know I will!Here's their synopsis:Ben thought he’d already lost his chance. Watching Kennedy walk away—into another pack, into another male’s arms, by force—nearly broke him. She didn’t choose him. She chose freedom. And though it gutted him to admit it, Ben knew why. She never wanted to be tied down. Not to him. Not to anyone. She was hurt that everyone she trusted let her go. No one tried to stop Ryker from taking her. She was his mate, his property to take. Ben's heart was torn between a woman he had loved from a distance for as long as he could remember, and his responsibility to his Alpha and his pack.So, he buried the ache under duty.Now, as Beta of the Silver Cresceant Pack,

2-BenIt’s been months since we have heard from Kennedy. She’s only called a handful of times since she’s been gone, but it’s been too long. I can feel something is wrong. The gaping hole in my chest has felt heavy for weeks now, but with the winter weather settling in, the feeling is becoming suffocating. Something is so off that I can feel it viscerally.WHAM!“F*ck, man! Are you good?” I hear Jason’s question tinted with amusement. “You do know you’re supposed to defend yourself, right?”“F*ck off.” I jump to my feet and reset, ready to beat his ass this time.“Let. Her. Go!” He grunts, accenting each word with a strike I have to dodge. “You can’t have her. She isn’t yours anymore.” That had me seeing red. I felt the surge of hatred and adrenaline mix in my veins and I go on the offensive. Punch after punch. Kick after kick, sending out all the feelings of dread at Kennedy’s loss. “That’a boy! There’s our Beta. I knew you were still in there somewhere.” I know what he’s saying is t

4 - BenI’m not exactly sure why it takes weeks to plan a trip to a pack that is right around an hour away. There are so many formalities, my head is spinning. We had to negotiate protection, how we enter the pack, the times we could enter. Then there were the things none of us thought about. Alpha James and my dad had us scouring maps for places that rogues could potentially use to ambush us on our way and where all of the attacks have been reported. I now know almost as much about Black Claw’s borders as our own.The more they explain, the more it makes sense, but it doesn’t make it any less daunting. We are supposed to take all information given to us with a grain of salt. Believe it when we see it, but don’t ignore it either. There haven’t been any new attacks since they found a young warrior displayed at their far west border, but Alpha David is convinced the issue lies with his daughter’s transition to take over the pack, and that this is far from over. He said he would explain

6 - Elara “I’m going to need you to clarify.” The smartass smirks at me. Chocolate brown eyes boring into mine. “I thought our intention was established before we got here.” He’s not fighting my hold, and I don’t understand. If I were threatened, I would have has his ass submitted before he could speak. “Did you really think you were just going to walk in and take over my pack?” I press harder on his windpipe. “Nope.” He coughs. “I came because my alpha required me to. He is here to help you figure out who is trying to attack you and why, that’s all. I’m a Beta, not an Alpha. I don’t want your job or your title. I’ve got my own, thanks. You wanna let me go now, or are we gonna fight and get this out of our system?” I really, really want to punch him in his perfect teeth, but I can’t bring myself to do it. “Just stay out of my way while I put these rogues in their place. I appreciate your Alpha’s help, but I’m not a charity case or a lesson to be learned.” He surges forward, pinni

8 - ElaraThe look on Ben’s face says a thousand words. Most of them are curse words directed at my warrior, and frankly, in this moment, I agree. I don’t want a mate until after I have taken over as the Alpha of this pack. I won’t be pushed aside by some guy who thinks his dick makes him better than me. The way he followed me around today, like I couldn’t look after myself, has had my temper sitting at a low simmer. I also have many males in our pack to convince that I am capable of leading, even though I am a woman. With a mate at my side, that is going to be hard to prove. I don’t want to rise to Dev’s challenge, but at the same time, it might be beneficial to put this little Beta in his place while adding another notch to the ‘I’m made for this job’ tallies.“What do you say, Beta? Up for the challenge?” I smile at his deadpan look. He’s fun to tease, at least. I turn and walk to one of the sparring rings marked in the grass without looking to see if he’s following. He’ll follow;
