All Chapters of The Wild Luna: Chapter 41 - Chapter 49

~Darkness. At first there was only darkness. Something I was familiar with. The prelude to the nightmare. A familiar walk into my past. Instead of going to the usual forest where my parents died, I found myself in a new one. This one was just as familiar though. My own forest. The ones surrounding the pack. Even the smell came through in the dream.I walked through the trees. Feeling the sun as it shined through the leaves. I loved this forest. It made me fall in love with the trees again. For a long time, I didn’t go anywhere near them.When I first was dropped off here, I refused to step foot into the forest. My uncle didn’t know what to do with me. I’d never been raised in a pack or had any understanding of what was going on. I’d heard of them, I knew I was a werewolf, but I’d never been in or around any others. The shock that came being in a whole new place, with all new people, on top of desperately trying to forget my parents death, was too much. I lashed out. I destroyed ever

Janice snorted, shaking her head. “Of course I am going to help my Luna, you silly Alpha. You might be our protector, but our Luna is the glue.” She pointed to me after handing Valen back Letty. “Whatever you do, if you try to install a dog door, I will make sure every single door in this house is removed off its hinges and burned in the back yard.”Letty glared at me. “You better not. I will not have our door removed. Nor do I ever want the door to Gamma’s room open. Ever.”Barking out a laugh, I shook my head. “Even if we tried, it would need to be half the door! I might as well just make it a swinging half door like they have in the old farmhouses!”“That’s an option.” Dallas walked into the kitchen, kissing Letty before patting my head and getting a plate for himself. “I was thinking just an attachment onto the handles. They make things for dogs to be able to open doors. Mostly used for guide dogs, but if it works.” He took a bit of toast, shrugging. “Speaking of, Clyde checked in

Alpha King Nero did always warn me about Luna Riley and his penchant for cursing, but in all the times I had interacted with him, I’d never heard it. It was shocking, but while my leadership was struggling not to smile, I watched Luna Riley. I knew what Tahlia had gone through, the pain of the dream I’d had the day I met her. The pain I’d had a flash of when the bond flared to life.Luna Riley also wasn’t saying it to be funny. He was genuinely upset, looking at my mate. His hands grasped her fur as he rested his head on her. I wondered if he could reach her.“Ephraim, we need to speak. Alone.”I nodded. “We can go to my office…”“No. Outside.”Reese helped Luna Riley get up from the floor. We could sit out on the porch if he wanted, but it didn’t lend to having privacy. I nodded to Reese and Dallas. They stood up straighter.“Letty, can you miss your mate for a couple hours?”“Of course. I’ll be fine.”Dallas was about to argue, but she glared at him, daring him to say something. His

*** Tahlia’s POV *** My Alpha started to fall and I rushed under him. He collapsed on top of me and I was driven down to the floor with his weight. This morning I had felt it. I don’t know how, but I could. He was off. Something was wrong. I tried to tell him that he shouldn’t get up. Not with how little sleep he got.He hadn’t been dozing off like I was. It was hard to stay awake with nothing to do. My Alpha was always looking at something, focused, like when you were on the hunt during winter. His sleep and his body was suffering for it. Even mine was simply from trying to match him. I’d need to go out to hunt soon, but leaving him smelling like sickness wasn’t going to happen.It didn’t work. Someone important was here and so I tried to stay close as I could. The beast that showed up, they weren’t a beast. It felt completely different. They weren’t like anyone I had come across. There was something that made me want to bow my head in recognition. Not like my Alpha, but something fa

Doc was not kidding. I was stuck in bed for another two days before they let me walk around the pack house. Since I was still recovering, I had to stay in the guest bedroom in case something happened. Tahlia, after I finally left the bed, left my side. She refused to until I guess she deemed me strong enough. I think it also helped that when I was out of the room, I was being helicoptered by one or more of my pack members.After a half a day, she came back full and washed. I guessed she took a dip in the river and ran it off before stepping into the house. Letty had actually growled at her the last time she tried to walk in wet and Tahlia had taken it to heart ever since.I was sitting at the kitchen table, looking over some books that Dallas finally let me have from my office. Doc still hadn’t cleared me for work, but apparently, reading was okay. Sighing, I rubbed my foot against Tahlia who was lying next to my chair.‘Rogues!’The mind link was yelled at me and I looked up from my
