“So how are things going with Alpha Conrad?” Trisha asked. “I’m handling him and everything has been fine.”That wasn’t entirely true. He had cornered me several times and forced kisses on me, but at least nothing to the extent of hand jobs and eating out had happened again. I was still toying with him and making him think I could possibly love him one day.Idiot.“Well that’s good. You’re learning how to keep things calm, Bowen.”“If Grant or Ronan found out how he’s been hounding me, they wouldn’t be pleased.”“Grant?” She raised her eyebrows. “What does he have to do with anything?”“He-he’s my bodyguard. It’s his job to protect me and if he finds out someone is making that job more difficult I’m sure he’d be upset.” I explained. “Is that the only reason he would be upset?”“What other reason would there be?”“I don’t know, I’m just curious.” Trisha chuckled. Oh she had to know something right? Otherwise why make such a comment?“I feel like you have something to say and you’re
“What?” Ronan roared. “No! I’m supposed to have a son!”“I’m sorry, Alpha Ronan, we thought it was a boy!” The healer shivered with fear.“Fuck! This ruins everything!”“Ronan,” I said softly. “Honey, please.”“No, Bowen, it’s supposed to be a boy! You were supposed to give birth to the future of the pack.”“She’s still our baby, Ronan. We still created a life together, that’s what you wanted.”“I thought you would have a boy.” He whispered. “This isn’t right.”The healer shakily walked over to me and put the baby in my arms. She was so beautiful. I couldn’t help but smile down at her. She was so tiny and perfect. How could Ronan be so mad about something so magnificent?“Ronan, darling just look at her,” I urged. He forced his eyes down to our daughter in my arms and I saw his face soften. “She looks like you.”“Right? Isn’t she amazing?”“Yeah, I guess she is.”“What should we name her? Some with an ‘R’?”“No, that's only for Alphas,” Ronan responded. “Um, I don’t know, you pick, I
Sometimes I felt like a single parent.Ronan paid Clio no attention and barely acknowledged her. Everyone else adored her. She was a beautiful and happy baby. She had just started smiling and it was the highlight of my life. “Hi pretty girl,” I cooed. “Aren’t you tired? You kept Mommy up all night, you must be tired!”Ronan never got up in the middle of the night to hold or comfort Clio. He always made me do it and claimed he was busy the next day and needed his rest. He couldn’t be busy every day.“Yes you did keep Mommy up all night with all your crying,” I rubbed my nose against hers. “But you’re so cute that I don’t even care.”“Hey,” Grant entered the nursery. “Did you get any sleep last night?”I shook my head. “I’ve gotten like eight hours all week. Ronan doesn’t help with anything.” “He’s a fucking loser like I thought he would be. He's useless!”“He’s just busy,” I muttered, setting Clio in her crib. She looked up at the crystal mobile with fascination. Ronan almost didn’t
“Grant!” Tara shouted, pulling the cover up.. “Darling, this-this isn’t what it looks like, I swear! I just…”“Tara…please,” Grant whispered. “I actually don’t care.”“You don’t?”“Not even a little bit.”“Is this who you’re in love with, Alice?” I questioned. “Yes,” She squeaked. “I thought you said it was over.”“It was but…I couldn’t stay away. I mean she was always so close and beautiful. A-and Conrad clearly doesn’t want me anymore and Grant wasn’t being attentive enough.”“Sorry about that,” Grant muttered to Tara.“You were never going to love me were you?” She asked. “No…I’m in love with someone else.”“Bowen. I tried to ignore it, but it was kind of in my face all the time. Of course how could I judge? I’m in love with my brother’s wife too.”“Speaking of Conrad,” I started. “He’s going to kill you Alice.”“What? Why? Did he find out about me and Tara?” She asked hysterically.“No, he says you’re useless to him now since you’re not interested in him. He also wants to kill
“Hello, Scarlet Manes and Eclipse Pride,” I started.It was two days later. I had pretended to mourn and cry like a Luna was supposed to and now it was time to address them all.“It is with a heavy heart that I announce that both Alpha Conrad and my husband Alpha Ronan are dead. An unfortunate misunderstanding led them to a vicious fight in which they both died from the wounds they sustained from one another. Luna Alice and I are both in mourning, but we wanted to address you to let you know things will be okay.”“The alliance will still stand,” Alice announced. “We will have a new Alpha: Tara. She has served under Alpha Conrad for many years and knows this pack better than anyone else. She will continue to take care of us.”“And for the Eclipse Pride, Beta Grant will take over the duties of Alpha and I will still be Luna. We have many ideas on how to make our packs even better and we will work alongside Alpha Tara and Luna Alice while we do that.” I declared.“I promise to take good
There was blood on my wedding dress.The red spatters made the white stand out even more. Made it look even more pure and innocent. The white made the blood look even more sinister and demonic.This was not how the day was supposed to go.--I stared at my reflection in excitement. I had been waiting for this day since I was fifteen. I was going to be Alpha Ewan’s wife! Luna of The Silver Streak Pack. I couldn’t wait to support Ewan for the rest of our lives.The best part about this marriage was that Ewan and I weren’t just mates, we were soulmates. While one day we did look at each other and realize we wanted to be together forever, it wasn’t something decided by The Moon Goddess. We fell in love like everyone should get to.“You’re beautiful!” My best friend Saige smiled. “Alpha Ewan will just die when he sees you!”“It’s not too much makeup right?” I exa
I honestly didn’t care if I died.I had lost my husband and my father. I had practically no one and nothing to live for. I couldn’t be a Luna to an Alpha-less pack.“Go ahead and kill me!” I bellowed. “You’re still a cruel, heartless murderer and you will rot for what you’ve done!”“How dare you speak to me like that you pathetic-” His eyes shot over to me and then glossed over. I could see his entire body change.“What are you waiting for?” I asked my captor. “Kill me like he said.”“No!” Alpha Ronan commanded. “Let her go, Beta Grant.”The man did as he said. Alpha Ronan slowly approached me.“Who are you?” He asked.“Luna Bowen.” I replied shakily.Though I had been fine yelling at him when I thought I was going to die, I was now terrified of him being so clo
I hit the water hard and immediately sank to the bottom. I didn’t even try to swim up. I finally felt relief as my feet hit the bottom of the lake. This was it. I could see everyone I loved on the other side. My mother, my father, and Ewan.Of course I felt awful for my pack, but maybe if he wasn’t able to use them as leverage, Alpha Ronan wouldn’t kill them all. I also felt kind of bad that Beta Grant would suffer consequences for what happened, but he was also a jerk and would probably deserve it.I closed my eyes and let death take me…I felt water shooting up my throat and I coughed fiercely and spit it out. Why the hell was I breathing?I opened my eyes and saw a pair of beautiful blue eyes staring back at me. Maybe I actually was dead. I reached up and touched his face softly.“Ewan…” I murmured. “You’re here.”“Are you okay?” His voice sounded
