Moon's Betrayal Chapter 69
EMMA It took a few minutes, more like twenty minutes, to reign in my utter shock over the inheritance amount. One plus side was that I could now make very wise investments. I knew that Kurtis was Blood Moon’s resident expert on the stock market, so perhaps I could have him give me a few pointers and teach me how to manage large sums of money because I was determined that this money would benefit our pack as well as others in need. We had split up, and I shooed Xander off to get Ezra’s clothing and a few other things he might like. Xander seemed suspicious, but he placated me anyways. I knew he had a thing for first-edition books, and thankfully the order finally came in. It was a ten-book collection from his favorite authors. Kai helped me since I could not ensure Ethan would keep his trap shut and asking Xander would have been pointless in keeping it a surprise. I certainly owed Kai something big for this. I felt my cheeks heating, and Ethan’s laughter pulled me from my thoughts.
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 70
EMMA “Would you believe it’s only been about a week? It feels like a lifetime though. I guess that’s how the mate-bond works,” Sylvie said, her eyes dancing with devotion. Instead of the same devotion, Devon’s gaze was on me. He was obviously here to gather intel. What he was unaware of was that I had some forewarning and knew what was going on. “I’m glad that you also found your mate, Emma. When did you turn eighteen?” Devon asked. I looked up at Xander adoringly gave his hand a squeeze. I, however, did not have to fake the adoration. Xander and Kai were my world. Xander looked at me with unfiltered love in his copper orbs. “Actually, I’m seventeen,” I said, turning my attention back to Devon. Devon raised an eyebrow at my admission. If he was sent by Ezekiel, then he obviously knew my age. I really did not like this guy on principle alone, but he was dangerous, and it was taking all of my willpower to not jump over the table and end him right here and now. “Then how do you kno
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 71
EMMA I idly fiddled with an app on my phone until deep bass notes thumped softly throughout the truck. The steady beat washed through me, filling me with a steadiness of my own. Music always helped give me something to focus on so that my mind could filter the rest through the background. It split my attention so that I could compartmentalize without losing my shit. This tactic had been useful so far in life. My mind was often a mess and more so right now. It was filled with a million unanswered questions, so I needed all the help that I could get. Hearing my wolf’s voice and guidance filled me with excitement that not even the Devon situation could extinguish. I spent so many years thinking they had killed her, that I would never be whole. For shifters, the wolf was just as much part of us as we were – two halves that fit together to make one whole. After our first shift, they became part of us forever. They shared a mind with us and provided a special type of companionship. I rea
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 72
EMMA The night sky was darker than anything I had ever seen before. I looked up, expecting to see the moon or stars, but there was nothing. There was only pure darkness everywhere as I turned around in a full circle. Something about it made my blood feel like ice in my veins just like how I felt when the shadow and Devon touched me. It was the same type of blanketed darkness that was void of any light. Where was I? Everything felt so surreal. Brilliant hues of red, orange, and blue danced together in the distances, blending together like a flame atop a candle’s wick. The flame grew in size and blended perfectly as the hues swirled and danced around one another. It was beautiful. It was mesmerizing. I had never seen anything like it before. My eyes were transfixed on it. The flame had to be at least four feet tall. Its beauty entranced me, and I was unable to look away. It flew towards me at a blinding speed, but I felt no fear as it approached. Instead, a tranquil peace enveloped
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 73
EMMA Xander leaned up against the wall and held me in his lap. His fingers ran through my hair, comforting and soothing me. I felt gross from all the sweat on me, but his touch brought both physical and emotional relief. My head was leaning against his shoulder, and I looked up at him with a smile. I finally shifted, and he helped me through it. I was glad to have shared the experience with Xander and Kai despite how painful and weird it was. I should not be surprised whenever weird things happened to me because the odd and unexplained always seemed to follow me around. “My wolf’s name is Phoenix. Well, she’s the wolf spirit. She said that I was different because I’m both the human and the wolf,” I tried to explain, my brows furrowing. Was it possible for your wolf to be crazy? That would explain quite a bit. ‘Far from crazy,’ she snorted in my head. “Obviously, you must be crazy, Phoenix,” I muttered. I saw Xander’s amused smirk and realized I spoke out loud. That would take som
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 74
EMMA Somehow, I woke up before Xander. The clock said it was only 7:10 A.M. I got about four hours of sleep, but I felt very refreshed regardless. I looked down at my mate and smiled. His usual sexiness was there as always but the peacefulness on his face while he slept made him incredibly irresistible. He stood beside me despite every crazy thing that happened. It did not matter how out there everything was because he took it in stride and reminded me that we were in it together. Hopefully, we could get past this whole destiny thing soon so that we could just focus on being us. It took a few minutes to carefully untangle myself from Xander so that I did not wake him up. I pushed my pillow closer to him, so that he had my scent still and got dressed before heading down to make breakfast. Well, I supposed it was our scent since they merged together. I noticed that his had more of a sandalwood undertone while mine has more of a vanilla undertone though. We had fallen into a fairly go
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 75
EMMA The three of us spent time together throughout the day. We just talked and hung out. We even spent a couple of hours in the gym to allow me to work out some of my nerves and stress. They took turns training me, and I started sweating in no time. Xander had great pointers for hand-to-hand. He gave me a few new pointers on the best pressure points in human form. I nearly had him pinned before Kai shifted and threw me off-balance. Kai had me pinned underneath him when Xander shifted and began tickling the hell out of my sides. Then they were both asses who took turns tickling me by switching control. I called a truce before we tried to catch our breath between laughs. It was exactly what we needed. My mates were amazing. Despite this being hard on them too, they did what they could to make me more comfortable. I truly did not deserve them. “Food!” Ethan hollered from the hallway. Food sounded great. It was an early supper today because doing this rescue mission on a full stomach
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 76
EMMA ‘Do we need to link Ezra with the sigil as well to protect his mind?’ I asked Phoenix. ‘No. Ezra’s mind is already protected with his Witch heritage. He is from a very powerful lineage.’ Well, that bit of news was a reassurance. One thing at a time. We all met up in the living room to go over the plan one last time. I laid out the map once more. My eyes scanned it even though I knew every detail on it by heart. I just needed to reassure myself that I laid out every bit of information so I could think through contingency plans. Many things could go wrong, so I needed to be prepared for each one. I was an Alpha after all. As such, it was my duty to consider all possible outcomes. Was this worth the risk? Yes, it absolutely was. However, I had to ensure that I had enough back up plans so that I could improvise with a moment’s notice. “The entrance to the tunnel is right here. The code to enter is 16815514924.” I had them write the code on their forearms just in case they neede
