All Chapters of The Luna He Never Loved: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Was this really necessary?" Demetri Bozic asked tersely, his eyes never leaving the dais as the new Council was acknowledged and the vampire nation's standard laws were read out as was customary when The Council rotated. He was irritated because he was close to Andrei and didn't like having to ruin his moment. His friend's words resounded in Caleb's head and he had to work hard not to sigh out aloud. Demetri had made it more than plain that he was unhappy with this course of action but he had relented to do as Caleb asked under quite severe pressure. "Scent Alexei, Demetri," Caleb sighed mentally. "Really scent him, not a light surface brushing as normal, go really deeply. Then see if you want to ask me that question again." Caleb could barely contain the rage which was boiling inside him despite his calm exterior. If it wasn't for having his Annie at his side he'd be tempted to leap across the dais and smash his fist into Andrei's smug face. That would be after he had pummelled A

Weres and vampires can't mate," Andrei managed to grind out, his tone incredulous, his thoughts in utter chaos. What would this mean for his brother if The Council found out about it? His eyes hardened as he glared at Alexei. "We're a different bloody species, Alexei. Our bite is instantly lethal to a Were so how can we bloody mate with them? Have a little fun with the wolf by all means but you can't mate with her. You'll kill her if you try." Alexei frowned deeply, a strange expression crossing his face. He knew the mating was incomplete; that it was one sided because he couldn't complete the ritual, couldn't bind himself as irrevocably to Cedar as she had to him. Just thinking of it made a sharp pain rock through his body so he tried his hardest not to. "She's mine, Andrei," he said quietly. "Whether or not I can complete her ritual is a moot point. She belongs to me. The one sided bond is just going to have to suffice if it's all we can hope to achieve. I will not leave her,

It was a clear dismissal and Alexei knew he would only end up enraging his brother if he continued to badger him He sighed deeply and stood up. He could only hope that Andrei would think about what he had said and maybe even answer the questions he had posed to him. "You're right, I do have somewhere else I have to be," he answered with a little smile. "I've got a wolf to go play with, which is where I'm off to now. See you later." He left the office quickly, his mind already sliding away from his brother to focus on his woman. Cedar would be home from work soon and that was all the mattered to him. He checked his phone when he got outside and frowned slightly as he read the text message from his wolf telling him that she was going to the compound after work and would catch up with him another time. His good mood evaporated instantly to be replaced with a cold, hard anger. Oh, she bloody well would, would she? He'd see about that. Why she thought he would obediently sit around a

A muffled curse ripped from Jared's lips. He'd given up questioning Rhianna's pronouncements a long time ago. If the petite vampire said they were mates then he believed her. So now he had a third mating on his hands. Not that the number involved really mattered because one was enough to cause the pack issues. He sighed deeply and turned to Cedar and Loretta. "One of you needs to go over there and have a chat with Ashleigh, find out what the situation is and guide her through any questions she may have. I'm not saying Nors isn't capable of dealing with it but Ashleigh has no family if she needs some female guidance. As you can both relate to her predicament it would be better if it were one of you answering any questions she may have. You can decide among yourselves who it's going to be." Caleb was frowning, not liking this change of events. If an Ancient was going to claim a wolf as a mate then maybe he would have to re-think his involvement in the situation. He was annoyed with

The barefaced arrogance of the petite vampire had angered him and also amused him. He had given her a wide berth, mindful of Demetri's warning not to mess with her, that Caleb would exact dire retribution if he did so. Now he really looked at her for the first time and was surprised to note how beautiful she was, how unusual her lavender eyes were as they connected with his with what had to be the first proper encounter they had ever had. His breath sucked in sharply when she suddenly smiled at him. For a brief second he was stunned at the sheer radiance on her little face, the open warmth in her eyes as she looked at him. He could suddenly understand why Caleb was so protective of her, so enthralled by his mate. Why Demetri too was enraptured by the little redhead. "Hi Alexei," she smiled, a hint of amusement in her tone at his reaction to her. "Nice to see you again." Caleb's head whipped around to stare at her in surprise and then he uttered a deep groan and looked back at Al
