All Chapters of The Alpha's Stolen Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lucas didn’t try to pull me back, but he did keep a hold of my hand. Still, he noticed my shift in attitude.“We’ll take this one step at a time, Sutton,” he said gently. “I’ll do whatever you need me to do to gain your trust. Just say the word.”“It’s not that simple,” I replied.“I don’t expect this to be easy,” he assured me. “But I want a fair chance. Is that something you think you can do?”I chewed on my lip for a moment before nodding. I still felt that slight uneasy feeling of anxiety, like bile waiting at the end of my throat for the first opportunity to come up. Because in reality — what choice did I have? I could be stuck here scared and constantly on edge or I could try to have an open mind and have at least the illusion of contentment for a while.“I have an idea,” Lucas said, drawing me from my thoughts. “Come with me.”Still holding my hand, Lucas got up and pulled me behind him. Making his way through the house, he went back downstairs. He led me into a room that was s

I ended up in the spare room after saying goodnight to Sutton, much to Rhonen’s displeasure. But after sharing another intense, passionate kiss, my control was starting to slip. I needed to remove myself from the situation before things went too far. I still found it hard to fall asleep on my own, but I was arguably happier than I had been. So, I managed to drift off to the knowledge that Sutton was beginning to trust me.I was pulled from a deep slumber by the sound of screaming. Shotting up in the bed, I worked to get my thoughts straight.‘MATE,’ Rhonen growled desperately.I was on my feet and bursting through my bedroom door in less than a second. Sutton was in the bed, writhing as she cried out in protest. I rushed to her side, grabbing her shoulders as I called her name to wake her up. She fought against me for a moment before her eyes shot open. She looked at me, then around the room, then back at me, panting and still shaking from fear.“It’s was a nightmare, Sutton,” I assur

After the doctor left, I finished getting dressed for the day before heading downstairs. Lucas had gotten up before me this morning. Although, I’ll admit I woke up when he did, even if I pretended I hadn’t. But the doctor had come up before I had gotten the chance to look for him. It was a good thing really. I needed the time to figure out how to face him today. To figure out what to say.I settled on nothing. Hoping he would just act like my behavior in the middle of the night never happened. It was time to move forward. I was feeling better. Well enough to start taking some kind of action. I just had to figure out what that action was. The least I could do was let Lucas have some part in that.I still wasn’t sure about this whole fated mate thing. The idea of being anyone’s mate again kind of made me sick to my stomach. But I wanted to forget about the past five years. I wanted to start moving on. If that was possible. It wouldn’t hurt to have a few friends along the way. It had bee

“Alpha Lucas, it’s been a while,” Anders replied. “I hope all is well in the Ironpaw Pack these days.”I dragged Jaden into my office and shut the door. Putting the phone on speaker, I set it on the desk for us both to hear.“The Ironpaws are thriving. That’s the best any Alpha could strive for. Now, what do you need from me today, Alpha?” I was never one for small talk.“Well, I can’t say we’re doing as well here,” Anders said, ignoring my impatience. “We’ve had a terrible incident that involved one of our ranking members. My Beta, Mason, was brutally attacked a few days ago. We’ve been looking into how this could have happened.”“I’m sorry to hear that,” I replied. “But that doesn’t explain why you’re calling me.”“Well, he had taken his mate away for their annual romantic getaway. So, we know she was with him at the time. However, she’s gone missing,” he stated. “She wasn’t at the scene when we arrived. We’re concerned she may have gotten lost after escaping.”“Or perhaps whoever a

I didn’t think I was breathing. Or maybe I was breathing too heavily. I couldn’t wrap my head around what the rest of my body was doing with the intense heat radiating from my core. Heat that spread throughout my entire body. Like I was on fire.I went from craving Lucas’ touch one moment to wanting him far away from me the next. I couldn’t breathe. A sharp, stabbing sensation formed in the back of my skull and I thought I would throw up. I fell to my knees, gasping for breath.But as fast as the episode hit me, it was over just as quickly. Lucas’ arm was around my shoulder and I registered that he was calling my name.“I’m fine,” I gasped, catching my breath. “I’m fine.”“You’re not,” he insisted, lifting me off the ground. “You’re white as a ghost and your hands are like ice.”“Ha. Considering I felt like I was in an inferno a moment ago, that’s hard to believe,” I replied.“Come on,” Lucas said, holding me by the waist. “Let’s get you inside.”He carried me back into the house, set
