All Chapters of Luna of the Last Wolf Pack: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

DevonI do not want her in there. I want to rush up and drag Emma out of this fucking building. I wouldn’t even use the elevator, just fly up the stairs to the top floor of this place and hold her in my arms, getting her out of danger. But I have to try to be what she needs me to be: a mate who gives her space to breathe and live her life through her own choices. I’m on board with that one hundred percent. But it’s not going to be easy, especially right now. I was supposed to be on the same floor with her, waiting in the hallway. But the moment I got in the elevator, I knew that was an impossible choice. There are cameras in there tracking everyone who moves through the building, and if they’re watching the elevators, they’ll definitely be watching the hallway on their floor level. So, I’m getting off at the tenth floor, keeping my baseball cap low over my eyes. I don’t know if these people know what I look like yet. They’ll probably sense I’m a wolf if I get anywhere near one of

DevonI tear up the stairs even faster when I feel it—Emma is in pain. I swear to the Goddess, if one hair on her head is harmed, I am going to end these assholes in the slowest, most painful way possible.Once I throw open the door to the top floor hallway, the sound of calm, classical music hits my ears, a stark contrast to the fierce panic rushing through every inch of me. But I ignore it, focusing on the only door I see, which is about to be thrown off its hinges.I do just that, shifting midway through the force of it, only to stop dead in my tracks at the sight in front of me.The most beautiful she-wolf I’ve ever seen in my life stands before me. Her fur is red, the same color as Emma’s hair when she’s a human, but it’s also different. The tips shimmer like silver, enveloping her in an ethereal glow.She has shifted for the first time....It takes a moment for me to snap out of the shock of it and to remember why I’d burst in. She had screamed in pain. Was her shift painful? It

Kelly“It’s okay,” I tell Emma. “I want you to try to think of your life in your human form.”She looks at me as if she doesn’t understand, and I worry that she’s so far gone, she doesn’t understand English anymore. I try the mind-link next.“Do you understand what I’m saying, Emma?”She doesn’t seem to respond to that at all, so I suppose she doesn’t have the pack mind yet. That’s surprising given the connection between her and Devon, and the fact that she’s in her wolf form right now.I haven’t been so bold as to ask my Alpha whether he has marked his mate yet. That’s none of my business. But if he hasn’t, that could explain this.But that doesn’t matter, because it’s clear she can’t shift back yet. I was still a young child the last time I’d been in the room while a Luna helped a first-time shifter find their way back. I was probably about five years old, visiting my aunt’s pack. She had married into another pack in Southern California when she’d found her mate there.A boy had sh

EmmaIt’s in the far reaches of my memory—a woman with red hair, lost and confused in a world that doesn’t include me, far from the forest. She doesn’t know me, her wolf.A vision flashes before me.“Take her!” a male shifter yells. I do not understand the words, yet I’m in this man’s arms, small, an infant swaddled in cloth.The female is also a shifter. She is not my female parent. I can sense it. Yet she takes me with little hesitation.“Get her somewhere safe, anywhere!” the male hollers.We run, and the female holds me tight in her hands as the heat of fire erupts around us. We find the tree line, an escape toward freedom, yet she pauses a moment, turning back just in time to see the male facing the inferno, taking down an odd humanoid creature in front of him before he himself is enveloped by flames.And now, I hear my mate calling out in our shared voice, urging me to regain the form of the red-haired woman.And so, I do.My fur recedes, my limbs reshaping and growing to the wo

EmmaMy heart is racing.Most of the people are already out of the building, and the two people who just pulled up never even went inside. I don’t know how many are left in there exactly, but judging by the list Kinsington showed us, there’s probably less than a dozen.Blowing up the building won’t even do any good now. In fact, it’ll blow our cover.“Wait!” I tell him, trying to balance my panicked yell with a softer voice that won’t alert the people below.Devon whips his head around to look at Kinsington, who has his hand on the switch but hasn’t moved it yet. “She’s right,” he says hastily. “Blowing up the warehouse will just let them know we’re onto them. We need to go after them down where they’re going to meet for the ritual.”“We’ll be at a disadvantage,” Kelly chimes in. “Even if they’re just humans, we’re outnumbered.”“This will be our only chance to get them all at once,” Kinsington says. “Snowberg said that after this, they’ll scatter and only meet online. Taking them out
