THE HIDDEN LUNA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 18

Ryley My stomach grumbled as I made my way into the dining room. It wasn't busy, so I grabbed a sandwich, some fruit, and a bottle of water. I had Channing's voice nagging in my head about eating more, so I grabbed a diet soda too. I sat down at an empty table, opened the container of cut-up fruit and berries, and started scrolling through my emails. I could feel curious eyes on me, and it twisted my stomach. I should have taken everything back to my office to eat at my desk. It didn't take long before I was lost in all the unread messages, and by the time I looked up, I'd already finished eating. I was just wrapping up an email before heading back to my office when the clicking of heels on the tile floor caught my attention. They stopped right in front of my table. I could feel someone's intense glare, but little did they know I was used to being glared at, and no one intimidated me. A foot started tapping impatiently while I took my sweet time finishing my email before finally lif

Ryley The next morning, I ran with Channing to the training area. He'd been so excited to start training, and he genuinely seemed to enjoy teaching the kids too. Mr. Blake was also paying him a very generous wage for it. He jogged straight over to Aspen, who was already out on the field, and the two of them started goofing around immediately. They were quickly becoming best friends. I spotted Mr. Blake standing off to the side of the field and figured I needed to speak with him anyway, so I jogged over and came to stand beside him, watching the boys together. Aspen gave me a wave, which I returned with a smile. "Good morning," I greeted the alpha. "Good morning, Ryley." He returned the greeting, and I could feel his gaze on me even while I kept mine on the boys. "I'm glad I ran into you. Since Channing has the weekend off, I'd like to take Friday off as well," I told him, still chuckling at whatever nonsense the two of them were up to before I finally looked over at him. He was w

Alpha Blake When Ryley mentioned seeing an old friend, I couldn't help the jealousy that rose up from the pit of my stomach. I didn't understand it. She wasn't mine. But I didn't want her touched by another man either. I was about to deny her request outright until she explained the situation, and once she did, I was able to relax though it left me curious about exactly who these people were. Who were the "grandparents" Channing kept talking about? Were they actual family, and she just didn't want to say? When training wrapped up, I walked into the pack house to find Warrior Aiden already waiting for me. He knew Ryley, and even after the conversation we'd had right after her arrival, I still had far too many unanswered questions. "Alpha," he greeted me, and I shook his hand. "Good, you're here," I said, but Ryley cut in before I could finish. She greeted Aiden like they were old friends, which brought that same flare of jealousy right back, even though the man was mated. But then

Ryley I spent the evening sitting beside the alpha. Our hands would brush when we would reach for popcorn at the same time. I had to keep my thighs clamped shut. Every touch would ignite a need I haven’t felt in a long time. I was so focused on thinking about spiders, I missed the entire movie. Aspen ended up spending the night on the couch since I didn’t want to wake him. And I thought once the alpha had left, I would be able to calm down. But even after my shower, to wash away his scent, I still wasn’t calm. And no amount of self-love satisfied me. My fingers just weren’t good enough anymore. “Maybe you should just indulge and get him out of your system,” Lily chimed in as I lay in bed staring at my ceiling. “Yeah, and how would that go? Hi Mr. Blake, It would seem I need a good sp**king. Would you mind helping?” I scuffed. “Or you send the boys out and invite him over. Then you answer the door naked,” she purred and I rolled my eyes. “And then I still have to work for him. Th
