Lunarcrossed Chapter 44- Slade
There are too many wolves in my parent’s house and this collared shirt is choking the life out of me. I long to shed all my clothes, take to my wolfskin, and run free in the trees. But that was the old me, to run from the things which scared me. And I’m fucking terrified. Deciding to fight for my mate is both freeing and restricting at the same time, because I know Sloane is the only one for me, and from this point on in my life, she will be my everything. Since I met her, none of the others really mattered anyway. My life has changed and now it’s time I settle down and claim my mate properly, if she’ll have me that is. For Sloane, I will give up the life of a hunter, stay here on packlands, and be there for my mate and her cub. To love, honor, protect her above all others. I want the type of bond, the life, my grandfather speaks so fondly of. That life once didn’t appeal to me, but now it’s all I want, and I pray to the moon my mate will want it too. I dream of days of working by t
Lunarcrossed Chapter 45- Sloane
I awake the next morning feeling more refreshed than I have in a while. The day is bittersweet for more reasons than one. Today is the last day elder Everest will ever spend with his family and friends until we all join him on the other side. I believe in Heaven and know in my heart it is the same as the spirit world, the place where good souls go to spend eternity in peace with those they loved in this life. I know my parents have found each other and a place there and are at peace. I know Everest will soon be reunited with his mate Rain who passed several seasons before him, she waits for him, and he is ready to go join her. It’s those who he is leaving behind who are struggling to accept it.And I’m feeling more conflicted about rejecting the bond. Not just because of the amazing orgasm Slade and I shared the night before, the best of my life, but more because of the emotional side of the bond. The moon favored Everest and Rain to be mates and they built a beautiful life together.
Lunarcrossed Chapter 46- Slade
I know I shouldn’t provoke my mate, but I just can’t help myself. I am rewarded by the pretty blush to her cheeks, not to mention a wave of arousal I get from her when I remind her of last night. What happened between us, and it is clear she was just as affected as I was. The bond doesn’t lie, last night made that clear. And even though I know she has muted the bond today; her body betrays her. I can smell her desire even when I can’t feel it. Not that I need a bond to tell me I got my mate all worked up in more ways than one this morning. Sloane may have chosen the omega over me, the one whose scent still clings to her skin, but I’m not going to make it easy on her. However, I’m not the only one being tested this morning, as my mate sic’s her cub on me. I know what she is doing, and I can’t blame her for it. She needs to know she can trust me with her body and heart, but more importantly with her cub. And I will prove it to her, that I can be a good mate and Father if she gives me t
Lunarcrossed Chapter 47- Slade
My mate arrives that afternoon, still dressed in her scrubs with the name of her college embroidered across her breast pocket. I do not hide or cower from her, but nor do I invade her personal space. Though it kills me, I fight my urges, and allow her to come to me when she is ready. That time comes a few hours after her mingling with the family and friends who have adopted her into the pack, and when she is about to take the cub home for a late nap.I stand from the couch I planted my ass on immediately as she heads in my direction. She has contained her son in her arms, and he is clearly fighting sleep. The inquisitive and rambunctious little wolf doesn’t want to give into sleep and miss a thing with all the excitement about. He yawns and his head droops closer to his mother’s shoulder. My mate sooths him by rubbing his back.“I just wanted to say thanks for helping to look after Gauge today,” smiles Sloane, “it seems this little guy is about to crash. If he doesn’t get a nap, he’ll
Lunarcrossed Chapter 48- Sloane
Even my cub has accepted Slade, but I am now more conflicted than ever. Especially when word spreads through the pack about the way my mate stood up for me to Mace and his mate over their treatment of his first love and his son. I am touched by the gesture, and it doesn’t make my decision to reject the bond any easier. I cannot deny the fact I am more than just sexually attracted to Slade, and I think he feels the same way about me. Despite his teasing, and the dirty things that come out of his mouth, my mate seems to want more than just my body.But I need some time to process things as emotions are running high right now. Not only is what would have been my parent’s twenty-third anniversary coming up, we also all await for the Ironclaw’s to bring Everest’s body from the forest. So then we can return him to the Earth properly. His kin will know when their Elder has taken his last breath and only then will they bring him home. To intrude on his private time of reflection to the moon,
Lunarcrossed Chapter 49- Slade
I guess I had it coming. In the words of Olive for “strutting around like a damn peacock,” when I tried to use my body to get my mate all flustered rather than my words. I know she was affected; I could smell it in the air, but it backfired on me. If anything, I feel I have driven her farther away and deeper into the arms of that omega. Sloane is not so easily swayed by my body or the things it does to her. There is a desire and lust brewing between us, but bedding her is not all I’m after. I want all of her. And I have now inadvertently given my mate the impression that I only want her for one thing. I fucked up. And I’m not sure how to fix it.Sloane does not drop her cub off at my house tonight for her date with the omega. I assume she has taken her son to Rose’s house or Celeste has come over instead. I let my mind get the best of me imagining my mate in that wolf’s bed, the way he touches her, the way her lips taste his skin. But I resist my urge to go challenge him to a fight, t
Lunarcrossed Chapter 50- Slade
I stop following my mate and I let her go. Sloane has made it clear she doesn’t want me around, especially not tonight. When they are nothing but specks in the distance, I walk over to the memorial tree, and bow my head. I pay my own respects to Jack and Ava Cross. I pull the dove I carved from my pocket and set it against the roots of the tree.My throat is thick, “I will take care of them both, moon as my witness. Rest easy.”It is a promise I intend to keep, no matter if Sloane opens herself up to the mating bond, or rejects me for another wolf completely. It is my duty as both a wolf, and the one the moon bestowed on me upon our pairing.Afterwards, I strip myself bare and make for the trees. I become one with my wolf and run until the restless energy dissipates, until some of the pain and tension leaves me. I might have run all night long, until something pulls me back. I hear my mate’s screams after I am already running back towards the clearing. My paws tear across the soil, a
Lunarcrossed Chapter 51- Sloane
I did not drop my cub off with Slade last night. Nor did I have dinner with Basil after visiting my parent’s memorial on the pack lands and having a good cry. I returned to my house with my best friend and my cub, and we opened the box of wine. I paced myself until after I fed and put my son to bed, and Lark hung around to keep me company until one box of wine was gone, and I announced I was turning in for the night. Then I curled up with a bottle of wine I’d been saving for a special occasion and nursed it in my bed. Basil’s scent was already fading from my sheets, and the omega was the last thing on my mind. My thoughts even wondered away from my infuriating mate. I watched as the clock ticked closer to midnight, though I had to be up for an early morning class, I chased sleep. My parents should have been celebrating twenty-three years of marriage. Perhaps to a getaway trip, after Celeste and I threw them an intimate party. We should have been cracking out their wedding photos a
