Lahat ng Kabanata ng Forsaken by the Moon Goddess: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

BenedictWhen I arrived at Alpha Waylon’s pack, I stood in stunned silence as Sloane walked down the stairs of the packhouse to meet me.“Why are you staring at me?” she frowns.“Every time I think you couldn't be more gorgeous, you prove me wrong,” I tell her.The dress she’s wearing is casually elegant, with thin straps for sleeves. But it’s her long brown hair that falls in soft curls nearly to her waist that has me so stunned.“How am I supposed to remember my speech when you’re going to be standing next to me looking like this?” I ask.She laughs softly, but I’m not joking. Everything in my head just went blank except for Sloane.“Goodbye Alpha. I’ll see you later?” she asks, turning to Alpha Waylon.“We’ll be there,” he says.“Goodnight, Alpha,” I say to him before leading Sloane to my car.I kiss her softly, realizing that she’s also put on a light dusting of makeup and lip gloss on. She’s got a wrap to go over her shoulders for later this evening, a small overnight bag, and a c

BenedictI had every intention of quickly saying hello to my friends and family and then getting back to Sloane. My mother, however, had other, not so subtle, plans.“Benedict, you can’t just run off! I’ve invited some of our allies to come early to watch you graduate. You must come say hello. They’re just outside.”Bethany had given me a look which told me everything I needed to know before I walked outside with my parents. Before leaving the auditorium, I looked to make sure Sloane wasn’t searching for me. I nearly snarled out loud when I saw her hugging Alpha Will. I had no idea he was coming tonight. I watched, longer than was appropriate, to make sure he didn't try to kiss her.When I stepped outside, I realized that my mother had indeed invited several of our allies to come to my graduation. Every single one of them are Alphas who have eligible daughters near my age.“Benedict, you remember Alpha Stephanie?” my mother says.“Of course. How could I forget?” I say congenially. Thes

BenedictI clink my glass to Sloane’s taking a slow sip of the champagne while we sit on the couch together, looking out over the city. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt this relaxed in my life. It’s not just having come incredibly hard. I’m sure that helps, but it’s more than that. It’s the woman beside me. It’s being here with her. I know this room was ridiculously expensive, but to have this time, to be able to be with Sloane like this, it’s worth every damn penny.“So, Alpha Sloane Hartwell, how does it feel to be a high school graduate?”“Fucking incredible,” she says, making me laugh. “I’m so glad I’ll never have to go back there.”“High school wasn’t very good to you, was it?” I ask, sliding my fingers over her hand. She’s facing me on the couch and I pull her legs over mine, wanting the physical contact between us.“Not really, but it’s done. Tell me, are you ready for tomorrow night?” she asks.I run my fingers over hers, thinking through my answer. No one has asked me that. No one

BeatriceI cannot believe that my son refused to return to the pack knowing that I had planned a party for him. For goddess’ sake, we have allies here, people who are or should be important to him. More important than that Hartwell bitch anyway.My mate was no help. He just keeps telling me that Benedict is going to be Alpha and he doesn’t need to do anything that any of us tell him to do.Wrong! The child obviously doesn’t understand the value of choosing the right woman to be his Luna. And that girl isn’t the right choice.When he doesn’t return home for breakfast, I’m fuming. I’ve worked so hard, planned to make sure the most eligible Alpha and Beta females are here for his birthday. Against my better judgement, I invited all the Hartwells, just like he instructed me to do, so you’d think he could at least show up to interact with the true guests of honor before his Alpha ceremony.“Excuse me, Luna. If I may ask, where is Alpha Benedict?” Alpha Stephanie asks. She’s my first choice

Kaelin“Well, mother, I know why Bitchy Beatrice contacted you about Sloane Hartwell,” I say, walking into her room.She smells like the Beta again. I can’t decide if she likes their arrangement, or if she feels pressured to fuck him to remain in the pack. Since she hasn’t said anything to me about it, I don’t ask. I’ve been biding my time for the old man to die so I could swoop in and take over his pack. But now, it sounds like I may have to alter my strategy.“And why is that?” she asks.“Her son claimed that she’s his girlfriend during his Alpha ceremony tonight. Apparently, she smells like Benedict’s whore. And the best, or worst part depending on your perspective, he had her come onto the stage while he took is oath as Alpha. He’s claiming her publicly in every possible way. I’m guessing the Bitch isn’t happy about that and she wants us to do her dirty work for her.”“Where did you hear this?” she asks.“Gabriel. As the prick’s Beta, he and Jack were both invited to the Alpha cere
