All Chapters of The Luna He Never Loved: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

What?" Millie asked with a bemused look on her face as her sharp gaze took in the other woman's expression. There was a certain tenseness about her friend, a coiled excitement. Loretta took a deep breath. "I was just thinking what a sneaky, manipulative bastard Andrei is," she sighed softly. She took a deep breath. She couldn't really keep it from her Alphas any longer. They had a right to know. "I suppose I should let you both know this, Andrei Romanov is my mate." The two Alphas stared at her with completely stunned expressions for a long moment. "You're absolutely certain of this, Loretta?" Millie finally managed to get out when it became clear that Jared wasn't going to say anything. The Beta nodded. "Without a shadow of a doubt. He's my mate whether he likes it or not," she sighed again. "I'm guessing he's not going to be too keen on the idea." Jared let out a deep groan, a dark scowl crossing his face as his mind immediately started whirling furiously, trying to work out ju

Did it really matter that another of his Betas was claiming a vampire as her mate? The situation wasn't really that much worse having two matings rather than just the one. The dynamics of the matings were the same, the potential issues the same. "So, what you're telling me is that two of my Betas and my closest friend all knew a year ago about this and not one of you thought that I might need to know?" he finally asked in a hard voice. He watched Loretta wilt slightly and lower her head at his tone but he wasn't about to apologise for his ill humour. He had a right to be angry about it. He was the pack's Alpha and it was his job to protect each member to the best of his ability. He could have had a year to work on this problem instead of a handful of weeks. Still, it wasn't entirely Loretta's fault. There were two other people who had known and not said anything. And his Beta had told him as soon as she knew the mating was a real possibility. He was certain this was the first ti

Alexei was surprised at the house he stood in front of. For some reason he imagined Cedar would live in a flash, apartment complex with a doorman guarding the main entrance; a steel and modern monstrosity. Instead he was standing in front of quite a modest, two storey house, set back from the road at the end of a reasonably wealthy residential street. The house was modest by his standards but very appealing. The façade was whitewashed, a well tended garden with a nice lawn and pretty little flowerbeds completing the almost suburban image. He couldn't see Cedar Alexander getting down on her hands and knees and carefully weeding flowerbeds or even mowing a lawn. The front garden had structure to it, most probably from a paid gardener. He actually found himself liking the house from the outside. There was a distinct feeling of home about it and also a distinct feeling of emptiness. Despite the late hour there was no scent of lemongrass in the close vicinity. Cedar Alexander was not hom

No goodbye, no attempt to get her number which he could easily have done. She doubted he wouldn't have been in contact with his brother while he was away. He could have asked him to find some way to contact her if he had really wanted to. His eyes narrowed as he slowly walked over to the counter and picked up the glass she had left there. Her little jibe had irritated him immensely. He needed a moment to quell the instant anger she so easily teased out of him. She was very good when her wolf was more dominant. She knew just which buttons to push to get a reaction out of him. He met her eyes and saw the challenge in them. She wanted to anger him because she was irritated with him. Probably because he had been away for so long. Did it cause her pain being separated from her proposed mate for a long period of time? There hadn't been anything about that in the journals and old tomes he had read. He regarded her coolly as he sipped at his wine. He didn't even flinch over the whole pr

He had only touched her once before and that simple touch had been enough to almost drive him insane with need. His eyes travelled to the graceful curve of her neck. He could still remember what it felt like to hold her fragile neck in his hands, the bolt of pure electricity which had travelled from her skin to his hand and made him want her more than he already had. "Do we need to go through the whole chase thing?" he asked, his voice dropping to a low, husky sound. Her soft tinkling laughter greeted his question and his eyes moved to her face to watch the amusement dance across her perfect features. Excitement flashed in her eyes as she tilted her head to the side. "You've already proved yourself to my wolf, Alexei," she sighed softly. "You saved my family, my pack. And I don't want my house wrecked. I like it just the way it is." She had barely finished speaking when he was moving towards her, no longer able to stay away from her. He needed to taste her, to touch her, to give
