"It's too early to be alive." His mouth found her mark as his hand trailed up the outside of her thigh, causing her to gasp and turn towards him, her eyes flashing with annoyance when she managed to open them. She stared up at the glass dome above them, and the stars beyond the glass and the trees, and she realized that it was still dark. There wasn't even a hint of light dying the edges of the sky pink."Are you serious, Luca?" Dani moaned the words, wiggling to get away from him, before the pleasure that she felt coursing through her body and radiating from her mark, completely took control of her mind."You knew we had to be up early. And I am up." He pulled her tightly against his chest and she felt his hard on rub lightly against her thigh."If you're dragging me out of bed right now you probably should take a cold shower, so I can get another ten minutes of sleep. Then you can tell me how important it is that I get dressed and that we hurry back to your home for some ridiculo

"I want you to promise me that you aren't going to get into a fight with him this time." Dani had been snuggled up against Luca's side for nearly an hour, one hand intertwined with his, her head resting on his shoulder, when the words slipped from her lips, spoken so softly that she hoped that no one in the front seat would be able to hear them."I will not instigate a fight. I can at least promise you that." He said the words after a long silence and she immediately recognized the loophole in them, sitting up and pulling slightly away from him, but letting one hand linger on his thigh as she turned her face to meet his eyes, looking extremely worried."Luca." Her voice was loud enough this time that the two men in the front seat would clearly be able to hear the conversation. But Dani was desperate and she needed them to come to an agreement before they arrived back at home. "You just don't know him like I do.""Obviously Dani." Luca's eyes darkened as he took what she said in ent

"Vos. Emery. Everyone. Welcome to Alaska. And thank you for making the arduous journey. I hope that you were comfortable on your way here yesterday and during your stay last night." Alpha Luca West said the words as he and his mate stepped out onto the large deck of the nicest restaurant in town, Fire and Ice, which had clearly been reserved for their party. Several of the largest tables had been pushed together, and most of the members of the group had already arrived when Luca led Dani through the restaurant and out to meet the group that was waiting for them. Dani smiled nervously at everyone, her eyes meeting Emery's first and her smile becoming more genuine as Emery beamed at her happily. Perhaps this brunch wouldn't be so awkward after all, she thought as Luca squeezed her hand lightly. Dani was not usually particularly anxious, but she felt so unsure of herself in this new role of Luna, and meeting with another Alpha and pack leaders most certainly was in a Luna's job descrip

Soon the table was covered in trays of food, a mix of savory and sweet. There were pancakes and waffles and doughnuts along with berries and cream and powdered sugar and grapes. And then there were skillet potatoes, different types of toast, bagels and biscuits and every type of egg she could imagine. And there were mimosas and champagne.Dani stared at the table and wondered if it would collapse under the weight of so much food. Even with this many werewolves there was no way they would even be able to put a dent in all of this, she thought with a shake of her head.Once every plate was full, Dani lifted a strawberry to her lips and thought that it was the sweetest thing that she'd ever tasted. But she'd only just completed that thought, and hadn't even finished chewing, when the pleasant brunch that they had been having ended rather abruptly and became something else entirely.Dani felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up a moment before she raised her eyes and saw Lyra st

"Lyra is the absolute worst." Dani stared at her old Luna, her eyes widening in surprise. She was quite certain that in all the years that she had known Emery she had never heard her say a truly unpleasant word about anyone. And while she agreed wholeheartedly that Lyra was in fact, the absolute worst, she was still somewhat startled to hear those words coming out of Emery's mouth. She was just so perfect that Dani wasn't even sure she was capable of gossiping. "Don't you agree?" Emery nudged her with a knowing smile after another moment of silence. "She knit a sweater for your daughter?" Dani finally cracked a smile as they walked away from the restaurant, headed towards the shops and boutiques of downtown Lovellton."That was ridiculous. I mean I knew she didn't knit it. It had tags. And we hardly spoke at that conference. She sent it because all the packs did. I know she was just looking for an excuse to crash brunch. What the Hell is she still doing here?" Emery shook her head

Dani was completely alone for the first time since she'd met Luca and it felt fantastic. She knew that if Luca knew that she was alone he wouldn't have approved, but being watched all the time was tiring and so she had come home from a morning of shopping and lunch with Emery exhausted. Dani had taken a shower and after finally picking up her phone, which had been sitting where she'd left it for two days, she had plopped down on Luca's enormous bed without putting on a stitch of clothing, and propped herself up on her elbows to check her messages. There was one from her mother, after brunch this morning, gushing about her mark and how perfect it was. She rolled her eyes. She needed to check in with Luca about meeting with the doctors and making sure everything was going smoothly with Clara Beth, but it really did seem that getting her mother out of their old town and away from her old friends had been a good thing.There were a couple texts from friends back in her old pack, ask

Luca slipped out of their bed after she was soundly asleep, pulling on a fresh pair of jeans and a t-shirt as he watched his little mate's chest rise and fall. He walked over to her phone and picked it up where it was laying next to the bathroom door. The screen was shattered beyond anything he'd expected to see, and when he pressed the on button nothing happened.Sighing he turned back towards the bed, sitting down on the edge as he pulled on his shoes. "I wish I knew what you were hiding from me, my little Luna."Reaching over he tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear and watched her sleep for a moment before standing. He'd already been missing from the meeting for far longer than he meant to be, but his wolf didn't want to leave his mate alone."We aren't leaving her alone." He mumbled the words out loud, although the comment was directed at his wolf, as we walked down the stairs."I don't want her leaving the house, unless you speak with me about it." he said in his Alp

"Am I wrong?" Luca asked, staring hard at the Alpha on the other side of the table. "You're not." Alpha Vos stood, and looked over at his Beta and third in command. Kent was slumped in his chair, looking furious at the entire situation. "Kent. Go check in with Emery. Make sure she's alright. Maybe take her over to visit Dani. If your guards will let them in?" He raised an eyebrow at Luca and waited for his answer. "Yes. Of course they will. And thank Emery for me. I'm sure a visit from her would do Dani well." Kent stalked from the room, managing to stop short of slamming the door on his way out. "They've been friends for a really long time." Vos said slowly, after taking a deep breath. "Since kindergarten or preschool or something like that. And he is inappropriately overprotective as a result. Especially after we saved her. And especially because of her relationship to me. I expect it will wear off when he finally finds his own mate." "I'd like to speak to you alone." Luca said
