All Chapters of The Unbound Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

Elena“Boys!” Allison shrieks so loudly that I drop my cell phone. I scoop my phone up and quickly tell Erica I have to go and I will fill her in later. Then, I rush to see what the commotion is.“Mom! Knock before you open the door!” Noah shouts and I get a decent view around Allison of him as he stand, throwing a blanket over Ryder who looks as if he wants to disappear about now.“Well, I heard noises. I wasn’t sure if you had gotten into a fight or were having a disagreement, but…this NEVER crossed my mind! How long have you…” Allison starts.“Oh, Goddess! Mom! Shut up!” Noah shouts then spots me and quickly covers his dick with his hands and flushes. “I guess mom caught them in the act,” Olivia whispers in my ear. “It was inevitable. They have both been giving each other looks for years, but you were the catalyst.”She chuckles softly and I see mischief in her eyes. She is young enough that it concerns me that she knows this, but not so young that it is far fetched. Most human te

ElenaI’m always running, to something, away from something or just to run and be free. Now I am running because that is my morning routine.I let my speed pick up as I round the bend and pass the packhouse. I take the trail Ryder showed me last week. He’s tried talking to me a few times about how I nearly kissed him. He told me he and Noah both want me and they want the three of us to be together. I can’t entertain such ideas. My father has been on ege and Allison has been irritable at best this entire week. Noah and I find peace where we can and Olivia…poor Livie is stuck in the storm. For me, peace is running and nature. Noah finds peace sleeping in my arms or sparring other top fighters. I turn down the little path that skirts the clearing that Ryder explained is the area where they shift for full moon runs if they have them. He told me they haven’t in a while but Liam intends to start them up again. I can see how they would appeal. Running feels wonderful and I feel like out her

Elena “So…for this project, I think we need to go get this book from the packhouse library. It goes into more details than any of the books we have found at school about…Elena? Are you listening?” Rolly asks. I’ve been distracted. I’m worried about both Noah and Ryder. I have been doing my best to bring them back together. It’s what they both want, but there is an edge to the atmosphere anytime they are in the same space, a palpable tension that I think everyone can feel and a nervousness. “Sorry, Rolly. I am paying attention, I promise, but…I’m worried. I…I shouldn’t tell you. It’s not my thing to tell,” I sigh. “But we can get the book and then you can help me clean up the Delta suite some more. I really want to move in there, even if Noah doesn’t feel up to coming with me.” “I’m sorry, but if you would tell me, maybe I could help,” Rolly offers. “It isn’t really my place to tell, Rolly,” I sigh once again. “But it’s bothering you. I can tell how much whatever it is hurts yo

NoahI miss Ryder, but I want him and Elena to find happiness together. I can’t be a part of that equation. I know that seems messed up given that I have fallen in love with both my best friend and my stepsister. For weeks now she has come to soothe my nightmares and though nothing sexual happens between us, she often holds me in her arms, or I hold her tightly. My body reacts to her presence, but I never give in. I managed for years by not giving in to my attraction to Ryder. I never should have kissed Ryder. That first kiss opened a floodgate of emotions and desires that had been just barely held back for many years. Now, I barely see my best friend…the man I love. But I really need for him and Elena to be happy without me. I just complicate things.If my mother knew about Elena coming to me at night she would probably blame Elena and cause a big fuss about her as well, but it is me who is just barely hanging on here. I need an anchor and Elena helps keep me tethered. “I’m moving u
