All Chapters of The Luna Is Not Dead: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

SeleneThe closer we got to the trees, the more nervous I started to feel. The pack woods were known for being thick and easy to get lost in, and there was always the worry about rogues out here. It really wasn't safe. But looking down at Kevin’s face, I knew I couldn't just walk away. I wanted to do this for him.As we got closer to the path, I slowed down a bit and held his hand tighter. “Kevin, are you absolutely sure your mom is down there? Because if she really was, she probably would have told Alexa or someone at the pack house.”Regret was already eating me alive. I should have just told Alexa and Marshall before we left the yard. If I had just spoken up, they could have helped us, or at least sent guards to guide us safely.“No!” Kevin cried out softly, shaking his head fiercely. “She only told me, and I don't want to tell any of them either. I don’t want them to know! But I know my mommy is beyond the woods. That is exactly what she told me before she left.”I let out a soft,

AlaricMarshall and I ran through the dense trees, our feet pounding against the forest floor. With every step I took, the intoxicating scent grew thicker, flooding my senses until it was almost overwhelming.“Mate!” My wolf struggled.It was an unmistakable, magnetic pull drawing me straight toward her. My heart raced wildly against my ribs— my mate was right here.“Mate,” my wolf said again.I pushed past the last set of bushes and stopped.A few feet ahead, a young lady was sitting on the ground with her head down, holding a small boy in her arms. She was shaking and crying heavily.I stepped closer, squinting through the dark shadows to get a clear look at her face. When she lifted her head, my entire world ground to a halt.It was… Selene.And lying across her lap was Kevin.Marshall rushed past me, dropping to his knees. “What happened?” he asked urgently.Selene sobbed even harder, clutching the boy close. “He... he was attacked by a rogue!”Marshall immediately reached down an

Selene“Mate?” I asked, my brow furrowing in utter confusion.My heart, which had been beating fast against my ribs just a second ago, finally began to slow down.I looked around the room, taking in the reality of where we were, before quickly pushing myself off him and standing up. Alaric followed suit, dusting off his clothes and brushing back his dark hair.I folded my arms across my chest, watching him closely. “You have a mate?”“What do you mean?” he asked smoothly, his face completely blank.“Well... you tell me,” I scoffed, gesturing between us. “You just randomly said 'mate.'”“Let’s go,” he grunted, totally ignoring my question as he turned toward the door.I let out a sharp sigh and rolled my eyes, but I didn't push it any further. I just fell into step behind him as we walked out into the main living room.Alexa and the kids were waiting for us.“How is Kevin doing?” I asked urgently, my voice full of worry.Alexa offered a reassuring smile and gently squeezed my arm. “The

SeleneHis lips met mine in a slow, suffocating wave of heat that instantly wiped every thought clean from my head.There was no hesitation left in him. His mouth moved against mine with a fierce, possessive hunger, pulling my bottom lip into his and sucking softly before diving deeper. A helpless gasp broke from my throat, and the second my lips parted, his tongue slid past them, meeting mine in a hot, rhythmic dance that made my knees completely weak. The taste of him flooded my senses, so overwhelming and sweet that I couldn't breathe.I lost my balance completely. My back slowly sank down against the soft cushions of the couch as the weight of his body pressed over mine. Alaric followed me down effortlessly, one of his hands wrapping around my waist to pull me close, while his other hand slid up into my hair, cradling my face and hair.Every single nerve in my body was on fire, tangling in the deep, agonizing rhythm of his mouth moving against mine.The moment my shoulders fully r

SeleneInside sat a breathtaking array of fine velvet sparkling jewelry, a sleek designer gown, a matching handbag, heels, and resting right on top... a brand new, custom-crafted masquerade mask, even more stunning than the one Madison had ruined.My mouth parted slightly as I lifted the mask, touchingg its delicate, shimmering edges. "What... what is all this, though? Why would you get all of these?""An invitation," Alaric said, leaning against the edge of my desk with his arms folded over his chest. "We’re attending the Southwestern Alpha Council Gala in a few days."I blinked, looking up from the box. "A gala?""Every year, the regional packs gather at the neutral Grand Manor in the southwest to renew our territory treaties and celebrate the Moon Solstice," he explained, his eyes fixed on mine. "It’s a black-tie affair. Alphas, Lunas, high-ranking Betas, and diplomats from every major territory will be there. Food, fine wine, live music... even tango on the ballroom floor.""And y
