All Chapters of THE HIDDEN LUNA: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Alpha Blake I was sitting in my office trying to get some work done. Aspen had gone with Ryley and Channing to the cabin for the night. I haven’t spoken to her since last night and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her. Maybe if I would have stayed the night with her? She could have woken up in my arms and then maybe she would see how perfect we are for each other. My phone rang on my desk where I had placed it. Looking at the screen, Aspen’s name popped up. My stomach tightened with worry as I answered the phone. “Aspen?” “Dad, we need you. The Shadow Moon pack beta crossed the fence and he’s threatening Ryley. Channing called Walter but we need help.” Aspen yelled into the phone. He was breathing heavily like he was running. “Where are you? Are you hurt?” I growled, my blood boiling. I was already up from my desk and rushing to the garage to my truck. “Not hurt. Ryley told us to get back to the cabin. But Dad, she’s on her own. The beta had warriors with him.” H

Alpha Blake I slammed on my brakes as I came upon the gate of the Shadow Moon pack. I rolled down my window as a warrior approached. “Be calm,” Luca grumbled. “Alpha Blake? I wasn’t aware of your visit.” He told me. “Neither was I. Unexpected events occurred and I need to speak to the alpha and his beta.” I demanded. The warrior nodded but the gates never opened. My patience was growing thin the longer I waited. “I’m sorry, Alpha Blake. There was an incident involving Beta Chris earlier today. He is unable to meet with you. Alpha Phil is on his way.” The warrior informed me. “Tell your alpha I’m here because of the incident involving his beta,” I growled. I couldn’t hold back any longer. Making me wait at the gate was disrespectful enough. And I don’t know what Chris told his alpha. “I’m sorry, alpha, I’m just following orders.” He said. “We’ll wait to speak with the alpha, thank you,” Luca called over me to the warrior. I shut off my truck and hopped out of the vehicle. “Tel

Former Beta Walter Walking into the pack hospital, I felt disappointed. My sons were not raised like that. We all had a hard time after their mother’s death but that is no excuse for what he did. They were all angry the day I brought Ryley home, even though none of them lived at home with me. All three of them were living at the pack house. They all had their own lives. While mine had just died. Ryley has been the rock I needed after my mate died. We were both broken but we were there for each other. She included me in her life and Channing’s life. My sons all have mates and kids but our relationship has been strained. I try to be there for my sons and grandchildren but my boys don’t make it easy for me. But with Ryley, she has always included me. She was the daughter I was always meant to have and I know my mate would have loved her. She would have taken her in, just like I did all those years ago. A nurse pointed me in the direction of Chris’s room. I could hear yelling coming fr

Alpha Blake “Channing, I’ll see you this weekend,” Walter called out. He looked over his shoulder and gave him a nod before following Aspen into their room and closing the door behind them. I moved closer to Ryley, taking a hold of her arm. She jumped before turning to look at me. “Are you okay?” I asked her, stepping even closer to her. Her stòrmy grey eyes had so many emotions swirling. This situation has her worried. She wants to protect her and Channing but she also wants to help Walter. “Yeah, I’m okay,” she whispered, wrapping her arms around herself. “We’ll take our leave now, baby girl. I’ll see you on the weekend.” Walter told her, pulling her in for a hug. “Thank you for stopping by, all of you,” she said before kissing his cheek. “Maybe, after all the work to the cabin is done, we can all get together,” Evan told her. “I’d like that,” she told Evan with a smile. “I’ll walk you out,” I announced to the men. I followed them outside leaving Riley in the kitchen area.

Alpha Blake “What the hell are you doing? Go back to her!” Gunner roared in my head. But I kept walking towards the pack house. I needed time to think. After everything that had happened, I knew I wanted Ryley to stay here. The thought of her leaving in five weeks is making me anxious. “Then why are you leaving her? Go back and tell her how you feel.” Gunner scoffed. ‘And I will, just not tonight. She’s been through enough.” I retorted. “You could just hold her.” He suggested. “We aren’t there yet. And she has enough to worry about. This is something we have to take slow, as much as I don’t want to. I don’t want to overstep and have her completely shut me out.” I sighed. I wanted this to work so badly. I didn’t want to go back to an empty floor. I would much rather have us all under one roof. But I know Ryley has been through a lot. And this is to prove to her that I still trust her with Aspen. The next morning, Luca was waiting for me at my office door. My lack of sleep did not
