When we arrive, I watch the houses as we slowly drive by them and all the people as they stare at the passing vehicle. As the car stops, I feel a wave of nausea overcome me because I sense that something is not right here. Too late, do I turn to Alexander as he steps out of the car and then sighs before asking, “Are you coming or not?” with an angry look in his eyes.I can already tell that whatever is about to happen, is not a good thing by the way he grabs my hand roughly and then pulls me out of the car when I edge towards the door. Swallowing hard, I furrow my brow the moment he practically lifts me off the ground. A second later, I find myself rushing as I follow behind him, barely keeping up even though I am walking as fast as I can. When we arrive at the doors to the hospital, I am gasping for air as he stares at me in disapproval. “I must do this first.” He announces while opening the doors and waving me in to go before him.The moment I walk inside, I notice that the ai

“So, are you taking me home?” I ask hesitantly because I am preparing myself for the let down when he says that he is.“Yes, I am. Right now, you should be safe enough. Frankly, I am surprised that they found you. Not only have I masked my scent on you, but I made sure that when we dropped you off, they couldn’t track you. Matter of fact, that is precisely why we did what we did.” He says in a matter-of-fact tone of voice before looking out the window.Cocking my head, I think about this for a minute before I ask slowly, “What exactly do you mean by that?”When he returns his attention to me, he has a funny look on his face as if he knows a secret and he isn’t telling. After clearing his throat, he confesses everything quickly, “Well, it means that I planned all this to protect you. I knew that I couldn’t be watching over you while I went after the Alpha of the other pack. The safest place for you at that moment was your house because they were not supposed to know about it or

While staring out the window of his SUV, I wonder what will come of me? Am I doomed to become his servant? Or will I become the Luna that he keeps telling me I am? Right now, I am so unsure of everything and anything that I sit here wishing that I had never met him, even though I realize that we always end up together in every incarnation.“Is there not a way to change my destiny? Or is everything as set in stone as he says it is?” I find myself asking over and over in my head while the car brings us closer to the village and “our” home.Even though it has only been a couple of days since we met, I feel that it has been an eternity because the way this has all played out. “Are you alright? You have not said a single thing since we left.” He asks softly as he runs his forefinger up my lower arm and then down over the top of my hand slowly.Wondering if he is in a better mood now, I cock my head to look up at him and furrow my brow before asking, “By the way, what was bothering you

As we walk out the door, I find myself wondering if he is still holding a grudge or if he can merely flip a switch to become an asshole willingly. “Are you coming or not?” He asks gruffly before continuing to the big building with lots of cars parked out front.Assuming that this is where we are about to eat, I nod, and then sigh as he opens the door forcefully and I see about 25 people at various tables around the room. Apparently, this is a restaurant and everyone else is already eating. When they glance up from their plates, they smile and nod at Alexander before he waves them off and continues to an empty table at the front of the room.While looking around at each one of them, I think that it is strange that they are all dressed to the t’s in their beautiful, colorful dresses and dress suits. “Surely, they don’t always dress this way for dinner, do they?” I whisper right next to Alexander as he holds the chair out for me to sit down.Smiling, he shakes his head subtly before

Once I pull on a steel grey, chenille over-sized sweater and a pair of faded blue jeans, I walk down the stairs and find the study. As I raise my hand to knock, I hear a young woman’s voice coming from inside, saying softly, “Oh Alpha, it was nothing. I just figured since the two of you were settling in, I would provide you with some snacks for the evening. I do hope that she satisfies you in every way possible.”Putting my ear to the door, I listen more carefully because now this conversation has my full attention. Not only am I a little upset that this woman is alone with my man, but she seems to be trying to warm up to him so she can get in his bed as well.“Jessica, thank you very much for all that you have done, but I assure you we are fine, and it is none of your business in any event. I think you should leave now.” Alexander says as his deep, booming voice echoes through the heavy hard wood.Hearing footsteps walk towards the door, I quickly back up and scan the room frant
