The Luna's Choice CHAPTER SIXTEEN
"What did you just say?" I ask.She stares at me as I feel my eyes growing wide. I'm trying to figure out if I heard her right."I said I want you gone," she laughs. "Isn't it obvious? I want Max all to myself. And I don't want you hanging around distracting him."I stare at her in disbelief. I mean, I'm not surprised she feels that way, but I can't believe she's just coming right out and saying it. I'm so shocked I'm not even sure how to respond. "Don't look so surprised," she says. "You think that Max would want someone like you? Someone that he can't trust? Someone that isn't loyal?""I'm loyal," I say. "Oh, yeah?" she says. "Then why don't you have a pack? Why were you out there alone?""Because they were all murdered," I say.That shuts her up.She steps towards me and looks me up and down, as if she's trying to decide if my words are true or not. She seems to decide that they are, and she backs up."Well, whatever," she says. "I'm sure you're a very nice person, but M
The Luna's Choice CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
JACKLYNI can't believe this. I'm furious. Completely furious.That little bitch. I can't believe she'd have the nerve to try to take him from me. He's mine. All mine. She has no right to be here, to come in and try to steal him from me.I run my hands through my hair and pace back and forth. I can't believe I'm here, peering into the window like some sort of creep.I didn't want to do this. Max told me to go home, and I know I should have, but I couldn't. I couldn't go back and wait in my cabin by myself. Not with her in there. With him.I can still feel her eyes on me. Staring at me. Glaring at me.How dare she. How dare she try to seduce Max. And how dare he let her.I heard their whole conversation through the open window. And then I watched as he took her in his arms and kissed her. I can feel my rage building.I can't believe this. All I want to do is smash the glass, grab her hair, and pull her out of the room. Make her leave and never come back. Make her understan
The Luna's Choice CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
MAXI'm awoken at 6am by a pounding on the front door. I get up, careful not to wake Victoria, and go out to see what's happening.James, our beta, is standing on the doorstep."You have to come quick," he says. "There's a fire."I look out into the woods and see a faint orange glow in the distance. The fire is miles away, but it's still terrifying to see. Something must have happened. I can't imagine what it is. This fire is serious. If it's not under control, it could spread all over the camp. It's going to tear through the forest fast, and if it reaches us, the pack could be in serious danger. Lives could be lost.I can't let that happen.James and I run over to the camp office. I yell at the team of firefighters who are there to help. "We need to get water into the forest as soon as possible. Make sure the nearby streams are clear of debris and that the water levels are high. We're going to need the water to douse the fire. This is no time to be messing around. We need to
The Luna's Choice CHAPTER NINETEEN
It's been hours, but Max still hasn't come back. I can only assume he's fighting the fire, but I wish I knew for sure. I wish he'd left me some sort of note.I wish I knew he was safe. There's still no sign of him, and I'm starting to get worried.This is a big fire, and it's spreading fast. I can tell just by looking at it that it's a serious fire. The trees, the soil, the plants-- all of it is burning. It's turning the whole area into a disaster area.I don't have a lot of experience with forest fires, but I'm realizing just how dangerous they can be. This fire is moving faster than I would have thought possible. It's only a matter of time before it reaches the camp and destroys everything.I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I have to leave the camp. It's not like I can just walk out of the woods. I don't know what would happen to me if I did. The woods aren't safe, and even if I did manage to get out, I'd have no idea where I would go.Plus, there's no way I would ever leav
The Luna's Choice CHAPTER TWENTY
MAXAs I shut the cabin door, my heart breaks. The proof Jacklyn showed me was compelling, but still, it's hard for me to believe Victoria would really do this.I was so sure she loved me. I was so sure she was my true mate. It's hard for me to imagine I could have been this wrong.But I was. I must have been. She's set a fire that's put my whole pack in danger. And that's where I need to focus my energies now.Victoria doesn't matter now. Only the pack matters.I go to tell my guys to triple check the evacuation of the camp. Then, I return to the front line to see if there's anything else I can do to help stop the fire.Every time I look at the fire, it's like it's getting bigger. It's like it wants to swallow us up.It's hard to put out a fire like this, but I can't walk away from it, either. We're all doing the best we can, but despite our best efforts, it seems like the fire is winning.It's not long before the fire is burning dangerously close to the camp. I can see the
The Luna's Choice CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
I still can't believe he banished me. After everything that's happened, everything I've been through, I thought I had finally found my true mate. My one chance of happiness. And now he's gone too.I don't know what to do or where to go. I have no pack. No home. No mate. Nothing.I'm not even sure I have a reason to live. But I do know I don't want to die in this fire. So I run.I run for miles and miles, moving in a straight line. I'm not sure where I'm going, I just know that I need to go as far away from here as possible.The tears are welling up in my eyes. I know I need to be strong, but I can't help myself. I fall down to my knees and sob. I think about everything I've lost. My pack. My sense of safety and security. My chance to fit in with a new pack. And now, I've lost my true mate-- been banished by him all because of the lies of a jealous rival. It's like I'm stuck in a never-ending nightmare.I sit there and cry for a long time. I don't know what to do next. I don't kn
The Luna's Choice CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
I can't stop coughing. The water that was filling my lungs comes out in spurts as Max cradles my head. He looks terrified, and I feel terrible for scaring him this way.I cough more, and then I breathe in deeply. My chest feels tight, and I can't catch my breath."Victoria," Max whispers. "Are you okay?"I nod and take another breath. I'm still coughing but I'm breathing. It hurts, but it's so good to be breathing again."Yeah," I whisper back. "I'm okay. I'm okay."Max stares at me and smiles. He looks like a little kid on Christmas morning, and he leans forward and kisses me. I feel the pressure of his lips against mine, and I return his kiss.He's here. He's really here. I don't know how he found me, but I'm so glad he did. I don't know what I would've done if he hadn't come back for me.I pull away and start coughing again. I sit up and Max puts his arm around me. He leans over to kiss me again, but I cough again. I cough so hard I start to throw up."Easy," Max says. "Do
The Luna's Choice CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
JACKLYNI was so close to having it all.The fire was a good plan. Brilliant, even. And it worked, too. At least, initially.But then that jerk James had to go and launch an investigation. And those busybodies had to tell him they saw me, and now everything is ruined.The camp is falling apart. They're saying that I set the fire, and that I was going to kill everyone. Nobody will believe me. Nobody ever does.I'm the villain now, and Victoria is the hero. She's had her punishment and now everybody loves her. I'll never get the chance to be the good guy again.But maybe that's not such a bad thing. Maybe I should just embrace it. I don't need to be the good guy here. I just need Max.I need to find a way to get him back. I know he thinks he loves Victoria, but he doesn't. Not really. He can't. Because he's my true mate. Mine.And I'll do whatever it takes to get him back. I could kill her. That's one option. It would be easy, too. She's so weak from everything she's been t
