All Chapters of The Luna of Rain: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“How does one accidently catch a clothes dryer on fire?” I’m not at all embarrassed to admit that I full blown cackled at that. Head thrown back, uninhibited laughter escaped me and there was nothing I could do to stop it. “I don’t even want to know how you came upon that information but I swear it was an accident. I didn’t know you had to clean out the lint filter so I just kept throwing load after load of clothes in it to dry without emptying the lint and after so many it just caught on fire.” The sound of Xander’s laugh amazed me. It was deep and rich like dark chocolate and caressed my skin like silk. It was beautiful and I wanted to revel in its sound. He looked breathtaking at that moment - so young and carefree. “Thank the Goddess there’s a housekeeper to do the laundry. I don’t want you anywhere near the washer and dryer.” “Hey, I learned my lesson after that. It’s been a while since I’ve caught an appliance on fire.” He cocked a brow. “You mean to tell me there was mor

“Are you going to finally tell me about this plan of yours?” Weather had the audacity to huff at me. “Yes, I am. Please keep your negative commentary to yourself until the end.” I scoffed. “It’s not negative Weather, it’s realistic.” “Whatever, same shit.” Weather was just filled with attitude this evening. You’d think she’d be in a better mood since we’re now living in our mates pack, but that didn’t seem to be the case. “Being here in mothers pack, and so close to the Royal pack, definitely complicates things. First, we need to somehow find out if they’ve had an increase in rogue attacks over the last few months since I’m sure this would be the first place Arrick would search for us.” “Okay that’s easy, we can pull that off no problem.” “I think so too. We need to get as much information about the attacks if they have increased. Now the second is about Xander, and I hope you agree with this idea.” Now I was getting nervous. “Okaaay. Lay it on me.” “I say we give ourselves thr

Blood coated my body from head to toe. Surrounding me were the dead bodies of five rogues. Those rogues were my first kills but they wouldn’t be my last. My eight year old body was shaking with the same shock that coated each of their faces. They couldn’t understand how a child shifted into a wolf and tore each and every one of them apart. Their body parts littered the ground, a canvas painted by me.No child should have that much blood on their hands. I tried to warn them but they didn’t listen. Instead, they came closer and closer until I had no choice. They paid for their mistake with their lives. I hadn’t had this nightmare in years and couldn’t understand why it would present itself after so long. I came to terms with my first kills long ago but tonight was serving as a reminder that this memory would always haunt me. It reminded me that my innocence was taken way too young. I remember how I continued to stand there, unable to believe what I had just done even th

I really wanted to be the one to show her around and see her try on clothes but after Victoria all but begged me to let her spend the day with Raina, I relented. Honestly, if it weren’t for the pile of work I had waiting for me I probably would have denied Victoria and went with Raina myself.The increase in rogue attacks on the pack were getting worse and every time we tried to capture one for questioning, they’d end up killing themselves before we got the chance to restrain them. I had no idea what they were after but I refused to give up until I figured out what their goal was.My pack was never prone to rogue attacks even before the one that killed my parents. They were few and far between and even the attack that took the former Alpha and Luna wasn’t your typical rogue attack. It’s like they specifically came to kill my parents.I’ll never forget that day. I was shadowing my step father, Alpha Arlo, to prepare for the day I would take over. One second we were going over paperwor

I had the best day with Victoria. She was so fun and made me feel so welcomed. She had a spitfire attitude that went with her deep red hair perfectly. Spending the day with her just doing normal girl things was a breath of fresh air. I hadn’t felt this carefree in a long time and wanted to hold on to this feeling for as long as possible.Even Weather had a good time, telling me which pieces looked good and which ones I should put back. Victoria insisted on me getting some dressier clothes for going out. She was planning a trip for all of us to go to a local club this weekend to celebrate my coming to live at their pack. I’d never been to a club or bar before and was looking forward to the experience.As I put away my new clothes, I came across the lingerie Victoria made me buy. While most pieces were for everyday use, a few were more on the sexier side. Of course Weather had to go and put all kinds of illicit thoughts in my head of wearing them for Xander. Not like I had a desire to w
