All Chapters of The Luna of Rain: Chapter 161 - Chapter 169

Later that night after dinner Xander received a mindlink that there was a package for me. We walked down the stairs to the front door and opened it to find a pack member holding a wooden box. Once Xander sniffed it and declared it was safe, we took it back upstairs to our room.It was late and I was exhausted but the anticipation of what could possibly be in this box for me had my adrenaline spiking back up. I was torn between confused and excited.Training had kicked my ass today but it wasn’t everyday that I got something so I placed the box on the bed between us and looked up at Xander.“What do you think is in here?”He looked thoughtfully as he peered at the simple wooden structure, no bigger than the span of his palm. There were no markings on it but it was worn, showing how preloved the box had been.“I’m not sure, love. It just smells kind of old and musty.”Something about this gift had me feeling too many different emotions. Like my subconscious knew what it was even though

I had no idea what Raina had planned for us tonight but I was buzzing with excitement as I followed her through the woods. We only had two more days before we were scheduled to leave and being able to spend tonight with her was a breath of fresh air.While we’ve been together nonstop over the last few days, we were always surrounded by others either during training or war planning. I was really looking forward to spending the evening with her and only her.An evening that wasn’t just us sleeping.The constant training had us both beyond exhausted every night, leaving us too tired to do anything physical or even talk before falling asleep. We needed this time together before hell broke loose and our future was uncertain.I loved the feeling of the earth beneath my paws and the wind blowing through my fur. The nights were starting to get a bite to them as we descended into autumn but wolves were made for the cold. It felt amazing after a day of sweating under the sun.I eventually reali

I had no idea how we got here or what we could possibly be doing on the fucking moon but the beauty of it was taking up too much of my mind for me to worry about anything else. It was ethereal, so eerily silent but so damn incredible.I looked up at Xander, our hands still clasped together, and watched as he took everything in. We were both looking around with our eyes wide in awe and mouths open. At first, I assumed it was another vision but this felt way too real for it to be anything but.Being able to see earth and other planets from where we were standing felt… weird.Unnatural. Unbelievable.Then I thought… are we dead? It’s said that our souls return to the moon to be reunited with our goddess but I couldn’t imagine the two of us biting the dust just because our wolves marked each other.No. Something was going on here that was completely out of our hands and we were just along for the ride.“What should we do?”I didn’t have a chance to respond before a shimmering veil appeare

When I opened my eyes again, we were back on earth. The familiar scent of dirt and the rustling of leaves welcomed us back with open arms. My hand was still clasped with Raina’s and I looked down at her peering out at the familiar landscape.“Did that really just happen?”“Yes, love. It did.”She exhaled a heavy breath. “Fuck.”We were both naked, our decadent clothes had stayed behind in the Moon Realm, and all I wanted was to run my eyes over every inch of her. Then my hands. My mouth. My tongue.She was gazing up at me with heat filled eyes and I felt my cock twitch. I was just about to yank her into my arms when I felt pressure in my skull from someone trying to get through my shut down mindlink.I opened it up and was hit with Darren’s panicked voice.“Alpha! I’ve been trying to reach you for hours. I couldn’t even connect with you.”Shit. It felt like we’d only been in the Moon Realm for maybe thirty minutes. Not hours.“Uh… sorry about that. What’s going on?” I didn’t really ha
