All Chapters of The Luna of Rain: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I had my first kiss tonight from none other than my mate. I never would have been so forward but the alcohol made me feel brave. I didn’t want the night to end but Xander insisted I needed rest so I wouldn’t be too hungover tomorrow. He walked me to my bedroom and gave me a sweet kiss that had my toes curling. I was tempted to invite him in but I wasn’t ready for the next step and he didn’t try to go any further, being a perfect gentleman. After changing into pajamas, I climbed into bed, a smile on my face as I drifted off to sleep.When I opened my eyes, I was in some kind of camp deep within the forest. There were tents set up everywhere and men walking around. From the rough look of them, they had to be rogues. I didn’t notice a single woman or child. Was this another vision? It had to be. I followed a group of men into the largest tent. Inside was a great number of rogues all standing around a table. The only source of light in the room were candles scattered about. As I looke

I mindlinked Micah on our way back to see if Raina was awake. After confirming she was, I asked him to have her come outside. Storm wanted to be the one to show Raina what he got her and after feeling how proud he was, I couldn’t deny him. We broke through the forest and there she stood, long black hair down around her shoulders still wearing her pajamas from bed. She turned towards us and I watched as her eyes went wide after seeing what Storm was carrying in his mouth. He walked up to her and slowly lowered his kill down right in front of her before taking a step back. I could feel his nervousness but also his hope that she would like it. I didn’t have it in me to tell him that Raina might not understand what he was doing. It was our wolf counterparts that would appreciate a token of our hunt but without her having one, she might end up freaked out about him giving her a random dead animal. She looked down at the stag before her blue eyes trained on Storm's silver ones. Just when

I raised my brows at her, but she just waved me off. “I know you don’t have a wolf but what if she came? Maybe Xander and Storm can coax her out of wherever she is.”This is what made my heart so heavy: unable to tell Victoria the truth. It tore me up inside.“It’s not time yet, Raina. Hopefully soon we can tell everyone our truth,” whispered Weather in my head, doing her best to comfort me. She didn’t like lying to everyone either but she also knew the stakes were too high for us to make hasty decisions.“Xander is Head Alpha - he’s meant to be with a strong she-wolf.”“Raina, you are a strong she-wolf. Even without the wolf part, you kick ass. Anyone would be proud to call you their luna. Even Storm likes you or else he wouldn’t have hunted for you this morning.”Just thinking of this morning made my eyes fill with tears. Xander and Storm had no idea how much that meant to me. It’s such a small gesture but the meaning behind it was so special, especially for me. I always wanted a lo

“They killed him, Xander. They killed Alpha Marcus.” Tears were slowly falling out of her bloodshot blue eyes. Seeing the devastated look on her face, I stood from my chair and gathered her into my arms. The sobs coming from her were heartbreaking and I held her tighter. Storm was howling in my head, upset over the death of a great alpha and over how distraught Raina was. “It’s okay love. I’m right here,” I murmured in her ear, caressing her hair while she cried into my chest. I could feel her tears soaking my shirt but none of that mattered. The woman in my arms was my main priority. “I saw it all Xander. He died protecting his son,” she cried, shaking uncontrollably. The thunder outside shook the house, roaring in time to Raina’s sobs. The downpour of rain started shortly after, matching the somber moods of everyone in the room. I held her until her cries quieted and she stopped shaking. I gave her one last squeeze before pulling away to look into her tear streaked beautiful fac

The next morning I woke up early. Despite the lack of sleep, I wanted to be up and ready to go to training and watch Raina’s first day helping out. My body was begging me for more rest but my mind was wide awake.I got dressed in a pair of shorts and a simple white t-shirt. After putting on a pair of tennis shoes, I made my way to the kitchen for coffee. I was surprised to find Raina already awake, sipping on her own cup and fully dressed.“Good morning,” she said, giving me a small smile. I felt her eyes rake up and down my body, darkening when she noticed my muscles straining against my t-shirt.I ran my own along her from head to toe, appreciating her figure in those tight red leggings and matching sports bra. I felt my blood rush south and a twitch in my pants. I had to look away before I started sporting a hard on.While the circles under her eyes were still dark, her blue orbs were no longer bloodshot and her skin not as pale. I knew she hadn’t slept well last night but even lac
