The house was almost silent this early in the morning. It was just past twilight, and the sun was just peeking over the horizon. Kali was super active this morning, trying to see if she could push my ribs out from the inside.Gabriel went out for his morning run with Seith, and I was happy that they were resuming their morning routine.Maw and Bear were eating in their suite; the shifting and run took a lot out of them last night. The fact that they even shifted amazed me given their advanced ages.I could hear KB and her crew in the kitchen below me, but their sounds were muffled through the floor.Gifts for the baby showed up nearly every day. This morning, I thought I would take a few moments and put some of them away.I held up a pink sleeper with ruffles on the butt and smiled. Word spre

I flipped through my phone while Bina had the wheel. I tried to stay away from the Shifter app, but my curiosity always got the best of me.Silverpine was holding its own according to the gossip. There were questions and no answers coming from the Pack House.People wanted to know where I was. The louder question seemed to be why did I transfer power to Kane and not give any explanation.“I’m tempted to create a profile and make some noise in the chat,” I said aloud.Bina’s face contorted into a grimace. “Why would you do that?”“Raise the stakes? Ask the right questions?”“Hoping to do what exactly?” she said as she flipped the blinker to change lanes.“I don’t know,&

I curled up on the couch with my notebooks, but my brain could not focus on crystals and their meanings.There were so many questions I had about the whole Luna-kissed thing, or as Gabriel and I started calling it, LK.Luna herself created the bloodline. But why?Was there a specific purpose?Shifters existed before the bloodline. What did she want to see different?Why are we special? Well, that one I kinda know. We provide blessings, prosperity, and happiness to our Pack. If we’re Lunas, we walk the spirit and soul realm. I think those realms are the same thing, but I’m not sure.A long time ago, the LK were exploited, hunted, abused, held hostage, and forced to mate. How did that happen? Who noticed that we were special?How did we recognize each other? Amyra recognized me immediately, but Maw and KB did not.What happens if an LK mates with a non-LK?“You look deep in thought, Luna,” Maw said,

It was Sid who broke the silence.“Excuse me, Alpha, Luna,” Sid said and cleared his throat. “Can I ask some questions about the before-time?”“Sure?” Soree asked, more than said.“It might help me get a new profile for the accident,” he added.“Oh, okay,” Soree said, nodding. “Go ahead.”“Do you know why Lucien rejected the bond?”“He had chosen a mate already.”“Vanessa, from Ravenhall,” Sid confirmed. Both Bear and I grumbled.“Correct,” I told him. “I was there, because of the damned mating thing. I saw tendrils. They were different from ours, but they were there.”

Her lips were soft and yielded to mine as I deepened the kiss. Bina’s arms snaked around my back, pulling me in closer until our bodies pressed together.She moaned softly, and my growl responded fiercely.I wanted her, and it seemed like she wanted me.One of my hands came up to cradle the nape of her neck, the other slid down to cover her firm ass.I squeezed.She squealed.Vanessa used to squeal.I froze and pulled away.“Jeez, fuck,” I said as I ran my fingers through my hair. “I’m not sure what happened.”I started pacing.“Lucien,” Bina said softly.I ignored h
