Luna Simply saying I was annoyed would be an understatement to explain how furious I was at the moment. I don't think that I've ever been this upset at any point in my life, and it was so bad to the point where I didn't think I could carry on with whatever was going on at the party. On realising that I was no longer in that state of mind, I quickly left the party hall, and returned to the packhouse. I didn't want anyone to see me leaving, because I knew it was only going to warrant questions, when the last thing I wanted was to have anybody questioning me. After successfully living without anyone spotting me, I made my way to the packhouse, ran into my bedroom, and as soon as I got in, I slam the door behind me, locked the door shut, and burst into tears without even realizing it. I hated the fact that I was starting to feel so frustrated with myself, even going as far as wondering if there was something wrong with me. I couldn't understand how Lucas didn't seem half as both

My father's words hung in the air, a bold declaration of his confidence in my abilities. They were met with a mixture of polite applause and cautious nods from the guests, their thoughts concealed behind veils of politeness. Beta Montez, however, seemed to be growing increasingly uncomfortable with my father's unwavering support.As the evening unfolded, I couldn't help but feel a growing weight on my shoulders. It wasn't the weight of responsibility that burdened me; it was the heavy skepticism of others that weighed me down. The guests' sidelong glances and whispered conversations made it clear that they had reservations about me assuming the Alpha position at such a young age.I excused myself from the main gathering, needing a moment of solitude. Stepping out into the cool night air, I found solace in the moon's soft glow. The night had always been my sanctuary, a place where I could gather my thoughts and find clarity.I took a deep breath, my thoughts racing. I couldn't blame th

Luna Lucas immediately obliged, leaning down and kissing me deeply. One of his hands traveled upward until he found my breast, rubbing soothing circles over the valley of my tits while he took possession of my mouth once more, deepening the kiss and holding me tighter against him as his hand traveled underneath my dress.I moaned softly at his touch, and my body instinctively responded as my hands reached up to grasp his hair firmly in my fist.The next thing I knew, his hand had slipped beneath my dress, his thumb grazing my skin as his warm fingertips pushed aside my panties and grazed my sensitive center. My eyes widened when he touched me, and I involuntarily grabbed his wrist with my other hand, holding it in place."Please," I breathed shakily, my voice shaky with longing as my body arched toward his touch.His fingers continued to stroke me, moving ever so lightly over the folds of my flesh, causing a burning sensation in its wake. My entire body shuddered at his touch as I

"It's not that. I just wasn't expecting you to come around so soon but you know you're always welcome to come back home just as long as you're not here to complain about anything or cause any trouble," he responded and I scoffed. "Oh please Dad, don't be so pathetic! How dare you tell me that I'm only welcome here just as long as I don't cause trouble? Does that mean that if I have something to say, I'm not allowed to say it because it might be a problem for you and your family?" I questioned and he sighed. "I'm begging you, Nicole, don't do this. This isn't the time or the place to try to vent your anger. I can understand why you're upset and believe me, I feel really bad that this had to happen but you have to move past it and move on with your life. There's nothing you can do to change how things have turned out," he said and I could not believe the words coming out of my father's mouth. "You know what Dad, I don't want to talk about this with you because I didn't come here to

They had only recently given in to their feelings for each other, and now the impending arrival of a child threatened to complicate everything.
