"There was someone out there that tried to harm you, Phoebe. I will tell Alpha Dean about it; first I have to find Alexa. Beta Alex said Adrian nodded in agreement. "Be careful, Beta." Alex shrugged. "I will go with a gamma; don’t worry about me." He turned around and left. Adrian watched him until he was out of sight before turning to Phoebe. He suddenly felt like a jerk for not going after Luna or thanking her for saving his sister. She had taken the hit for his sister, and that meant a lot to him. "Phoebe, go to your room and don’t come out until it is morning, and I don’t want to see you anywhere near the center of both packs. Do you understand me?" Phoebe's brows furrowed. "That means I can’t go to Cruster Toon?" "Yes." He said. He held her shoulder and stared down at her when he saw the sad look on her face. "It's for the better; you must be safe for us and me. Now let me walk you home." "Can’t I check up on Luna before going to my room?" Adrian sighed. "Fine, let’s go."
Ashford gulped down all the content before answering. "Nothing; I was watching her injury heal, and why did she faint the other time?" Bartram walked to Luna and covered her with the blankets. He took a seat on her bed and pointed at a chair for Ashford to take. Ashford did as he was instructed; he pulled out the chair and sat on it. Bartram took a deep breath. Ashford had learned a lot about his daughter in a short time. There was no need to hide anything from him, and he was also mated to her. "I added a sleeping dose to her water." He paused. "Don’t judge me first; I gave her the dose because she kept looking at my neck after her fangs came out. I had no other way to make her unconscious before she headed outside and revealed all her secrets to the pack." "What will they do if they know?" Ashford asked. "She will be banished from the pack or even killed. I can’t bear to lose her, and since there is a monster on the loose claiming he wants my daughter’s blood, I am sure one of t
Trevor sat down beside his grandfather after checking if anyone new had entered the pack. He had asked his grandfather about the bloody handwriting. His grandfather had been thinking about it, and when he finally opened his mouth to speak, he paused again before taking a deep breath. Trevor could not find anyone suspicious or new to the pack. That means the girl was not from their pack, or she had been in the pack for a very long time. He had found Tristan and the Betas of his pack inspecting the signs the person had left for them. He had to communicate with Phoebe through the mental link. She had not spoken to him since he had asked them to run home. He wondered if they were okay. He had to leave and come back when his grandfather was ready to talk. He got up and pecked his grandfather's cheeks. "I will be back, grandfather. He said. He walked out of his grandfather's room and walked outside. He decided to talk to Phoebe there, and then he opened up his mind link and connected to
When Bartram woke up the next morning. He made some noise at the door as he dried his wet clothes. The noise was loud, and he silently opened the door. A man was sitting and leaning at the door when the door opened. He lost his balance and fell into the room, his back flat on the floor. Bartram stood over him, and their eyes connected. Bartram's brows furrowed as he glanced down at the man. He couldn't shake the thoughts from his head. 'Another vampire?' He thought. Neon got to his feet and began dusting his clothes. "Morning Beta Bartram." "Who are you?" Bartram asked. "Why were you leaning on the door?" Neon ignored his question. "Our queen surely has a handsome father." Bartram ignored the compliment just as Neon had ignored his question. "Who are you?" Neon's lips broke into a smile. "Neon, Ashford's best friend." Bartram nodded. "Okay? So what are you doing here?" "I came with Ashford yesterday; he let him in at the front of the building. I thought we were leaving soone
"You already agreed to be his Luna." "I know. I live in Lunar Crest; pursuing a relationship with you is forbidden." She wanted to add more if she could be the Luna of the pack. She could make Adrian change some rules for the werewolf or do it herself. But she was gifted with two mates. "Forbidden does not change anything; you are my bride, and it's high time you fill your space even though it's only for once." He paused. "My mother wants me to get married to her friend's daughter." Luna was stunned and confused. She had Alexa in the pack to battle with, and then there was also a girl in the vampire kingdom who wanted her mate. "What's her name?" "Diana." He answered. She was supposed to be married, but she lost consciousness, and the engagement couldn't hold. I already told my mother that I couldn't get married to her. "There is no way you would marry her." Luna yelled. She looked at him, and when she saw the surprised look on his face, she looked away from him. "You can do w
"You said he was your only friend, and you don’t know anything about him? Who was he? A vampire? A werewolf? Or what?" Ashford asked. Luna tried to think that Assy had been her best friend, but she knew nothing about him. Only the fact that he only comes at night made her feel like a jerk. How was she going to find him when she didn’t even know his identity? She only knew about his dislikes and likes. "I know his likes and dislikes, and that is enough for me." Luna said. "You see why I said he was imaginary?" Bartram asked Ashford. Luna was expecting him to side with her father, and she tried to hide the inner anger within her. If he could side with her father, she was going to snap at him and storm off. Adrian had not believed her when she said she was pushed from the roof by Alexa, and now he won’t believe her? Ashford shook his head. No, Beta, Assy was real. I believe her." Luna raised her head to look at him, and the words brushed over her heart. Her anger was gone, replaced
Adrian sat on a chair in his room, writing down some stuff on paper. Trevor had told him how his grandfather was killed. Adrian did not let Phoebe sleep alone; she slept in his room, and he watched over her. Whoever that person was, it was sure that they had something against the alphas too. Or was he only after the girl and wanted the search team to be quick with it? Adrian dropped the sheet as soon as he was done writing the names of people who were clearly suspects. His father had been told about the thing going on and had told him not to worry too much. The person was going to be caught; they could not hide behind doors forever. If he lets Phoebe out and acts like he has gotten the man's threat and does not care about it, is the man going to come after Phoebe faster now? He groaned and tossed the sheets, which floated and shattered around the messy floor. Piles and liters of paper were scattered on the ground. Even though he had let Phoebe sleep in his room, she woke up and went
Ashford closed the door as soon as Adrian and Phoebe stepped inside. He held a box in his hand—the same box Phoebe had dropped earlier. Adrian helped Phoebe to a chair and tried to comfort her; she was breathing heavily, and tears threatened to fall. Her hands were trembling more than he had expected. His sister was terrified. Luna bent over Phoebe and held her hand. "Don’t worry, Phoebe. Nothing will happen to you." Phoebe slowly nodded in approval of what Luna had said, then she glanced around. "I lost the gift I brought for you; I can’t believe I lost it after spending hours on it. I'm so sorry, Luna." Ashford, who was standing nearby, handed the box to her. Phoebe flashed him a smile. Although she was trying to hide her fear behind that smile, he could see it cracking. She was just trying to appear strong. Ashford's brows furrowed; that man had done a lot lately. "How did he know you both were coming here?" Luna asked. "I don’t know," Adrian answered almost immediately. "We d
