Semua Bab The Alpha’s Mysterious Luna : Bab 271 - Bab 280

~Brady~ I watch as the SUV reappears, carrying my mate and two of her friends. Baron mind linked me and said that Sheila would probably have them delayed. Apparently she sat down and talked with them. I was also warned that she’s coming to speak with my mother tomorrow since apparently she thinks Lindsey is working too hard and not eating enough. I smile. Typical Sheila. She was drawn to Lindsey instantly; that much was certain. She seems to have that effect on members of the pack. Her figure exits the back of the vehicle, giggling and chatting with her friends. They carry large carryout plates, probably stuffed with Shelia’s cooking. “Young alpha, your mate has returned. She’s looking for you.” I smile, pleased that she thinks of me. I let the warrior stationed at the front door know that I’m on my way. I make my way down the stairs quickly since the elevator is busy. I see her wave to her friends as she waits in the foyer, expecting me to get off the elevator. “Looking

~Lindsey~ The looks on some of the assholes that were just talking smack are now looking sugary sweet at me as I stand by my mate and Mackenzie. A short time ago, they were condemning me. Saying that I was moving from one alpha to another. That I was after a power grab. That I must be really good in bed. The insults and double sided comments were nonstop. But not tonight. I won’t let them do Mackenzie the same way. We begin the line, being served first as is custom. Alpha Cam was kind enough to fulfill my request and have the alpha, beta, and gamma couples enjoy a private meal together. I claimed it was because I noticed the she wolves had been stressed from all the things happening lately, but I know he saw through me. Regardless he said it was a great idea. We’re all planning to have dessert together later. That way I can help Mackenzie win over one group at a time. Right now I sit by Brady. Maci has taught me that placement is everything. At dinner, the beta sits to the left o

~Lindsey~ I excuse myself later to go check on Maci. I know how opposed she was to Mackenzie and Colton being together. I was hoping she would come around. I guess not.I find her in the spare bedroom next to Brady’s. She’s crouched by an open box, old objects scattered all over. A floor board creaks underneath my foot, giving me away. She sniffles. “What do you want Lindsey?”“I came to check on you. I was worried.” I carefully make my way over, tiptoeing through the memorabilia that barely leaves a walking trail. “These were their things. When they were boys.” Her glossy eyes survey her treasures. She shakes her head. “You don’t know what it’s like to be a mother. Your children and those that you love as your children, their happiness comes before everything. You feel their hurt, you feel their joy. All you want to do is protect them.”“But then they bring home she wolves that tried to reject them?” My attempt to lighten the mood fails. Her scowl makes that obvious. I squat down

~Lindsey~ I straighten my cap and gown as I look into the mirror in my bedroom. I take a deep breath as realization sinks in. No more high school. After tonight, I’m an adult. There’s a knock on my bedroom door. “Lindsey?” I hear Dad’s baritone voice call from the other side. “You almost finished? We need to get to the school soon.” “Yes sir!” I walk to the door and step out, my curls bouncing with every step. The black of the gown contrasts with the red and white stoles that wrap around my neck. Everyone gets the red one, and honors students get the white one. I’ve also got gold tassels around my neck that symbolize my achievement in nonshifter training and computer class. “Lindsey, I’m so proud of you.” Dad smiles and gives me a big hug. “Your mom would be too.” “Thanks Dad.” I smile, welcoming his comment. “Can I ask you something?” “Sure. What’s up?” He seems genuinely interested. “Why haven’t you dated since Mom died? I know you love her, but shouldn’t you gi

~Lindsey~ “Oh my word, Callie. You’re the most stunning she wolf I’ve ever seen!” I can’t help but gush over my best friend. Callie emerges from her bedroom in the most beautiful white gown. It’s simple yet elegant: her to a T. Her straight black hair cascades down the back; her mother braided her bangs until they met in the back where a floral headpiece rests. “You really think so?” She blushes.“Are you kidding? You look like a model!” Deanna smiles as she examines her appearance. She asked us both to stay with her today as she got ready. Something about not wanting to be alone. “Thanks. And I know it’s not like me to do this, but thank you for getting ready with me today. I just…” she takes a deep breath and continues. “Everything changed so fast. Not that it’s a bad thing, just surprising. You’re my closest friends, and I love you both so much.” Deanna and I fight back tears as we go to hug Callie. Our little trio formed so quickly. I once heard an older lady in White Fang
