Moon's Betrayal Chapter 98
EMMA “Anything for you,” he said with a wink. He chuckled and moved it a little higher up my thigh. My heartbeat picked up drastically. It was pounding against my chest. This was not my Xander. My Xander would never hurt me, but this one very well might. “Xander, stop it,” I said, standing up quickly and moving away. I looked quickly to Kai who was laser-focused on Xander. It was like he knew this was not the right Xander. Oh, how I wished that was my Kai, but I knew I was alone here. Alone and fucking human. Xander stood up and crossed his arms. His eyes bore into me, making me want to shrink back, but I held firm. I was human, but that did not mean I would show weakness. I was an Alpha wolf after all, and this brief stint as a human did not erase that from me. “Because of him? You were all but throwing your body at me earlier. I don’t share what’s mine, Emma.” I was livid at this Xander and at Selene for making him this way. This was not my Xander because he would never act th
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 99
EMMA I pulled into the horseshoe driveway and parked underneath the shading tent. It ensured my car stayed cool for when I would get into it next. Hit me now. Kai laced his fingers with mine, for which I was glad because I missed him far too much. I missed Xander just as much, but I could not see him until we finished this up. So, we would do that as quickly as fucking possible. We walked up the steps, and I punched in the code to access the front door. I ushered Kai in who would not stop making shocked sounds as he explored my ridiculously large mansion. This place rivaled some packhouses. Our packhouse was larger, but that was still saying something. “Doll, I’ve got to say that these are pretty fancy digs. I know our packhouse is state-of-the-art, but however will you feel it’s nice enough after this?” I took a look around now that my head was cleared. The white marble flooring matched the white columns which separated the open floor plan. A large chandelier overhead probably co
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 100
EMMA I held up the white piece of paper. Scrawled on it was Papa’s handwriting. ‘Make a scene’ was all it said. “He’ll have to teach me how he does this one day,” I said, shaking my head. We finally had a clue on what to do. I felt relief wash through me and reenergize me. “Want to fill me in?” he asked, amused with my reaction. I turned around and hugged his waist. I smiled deviously up at him. “Papa wants us to make a scene tonight, and he’s right. Selene wanted me to go along with what happens, but it shows me the true intention of the dreamscape when I fight against it. Fighting against Xander showed me his true intentions. Standing up to Freya showed me her true intentions. By making a scene tonight, if I’m correct, it’ll help filter out what’s Selene’s puppeteering and what’s my own,” I explained. It made a lot of sense, and I was thankful to Papa for guiding us. Without his involvement, I would truly be trapped in here because I never would have known to go against the gra
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 101
EMMA I turned around to see everyone watching the scene unfold. I blushed under their scrutiny, but I kept my head held high. I was not a snobby Princess, but I was a Princess. I was the Alpha Princess. I might not understand what all that entailed yet, but I definitely was it. I was also Luna Emma. I was a mate, a best friend, and a mentor to an awesome little dude. “We want to wish the birthday girl a happy one indeed,” the singer on stage called out into the mic, breaking through the tension in the room. Everyone looked at me expectantly, so I waved at them. There were now probably five hundred or more spectators just in here. It was the largest crowd focused entirely on me that I ever encountered. I kept a smile on my face even though I wanted to run from the attention. With Kai beside me, I could do this. His hand was firmly planted on my lower back so that I could feel the sparks to keep myself centered. I was not certain if humans could truly feel mate sparks or if it was b
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 102
EMMA It was weird because I knew exactly what needed to be done without ever having done it in this lifetime. It was something I had done many times during past versions of me. It was foreign and not at the same time. Talk about confusing. The sigil was simple and not overly complicated. I drew the interconnecting lines on my side right where the cutout of the dress was, hissing as it burned into my skin. I could handle cuts and bleeding any day of the week, but this did not feel pleasant at all because of the magic that powered it. Gaisreen did not have magic at all, but the Toslati did have magic in it which gave power to the sigils they drew. Kai held onto my shoulders, providing me what comfort he could, and it did help. My Handsome always helped me in all things. I pulled his shirt up and gave him an apologetic look before I drew the same sigil. He growled with the pain did not flinch. I would give him that. The sigils disappeared, and I watched in amazement as his body began
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 103
EMMA “Um…” I frowned, looking around the bedroom of Selene’s puppet. Kai’s jaw clenched, showing a singular muscle tighten that ran from his ear to right underneath his jaw. His eyes darkened, just slightly, showing me what the temporary loss of the bond could not. He was worried. As much as he loved me, my mind, and my everything, this was not a place he wanted to spend the rest of our days. I could not blame him either. This was mild compared to the demons that lurked inside of me. Selene was nothing compared to those, and I wanted to get out before their welcoming committee came. “Just kidding. That’s what the Toslati is for,” I winked, waving it in my hand. I walked over to the doorway and drew three large sigils along the frame just as Barachiel had done. Portal jumping had never been my favorite thing, but it was useful in times like this. Over the centuries I preferred to either fly everywhere or use a nifty little sigil I created to give me incredible speed and just run.
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 104
EMMA Xander pulled me into his arms and kissed his mark. I relaxed into him, relishing in his touch, his arms, and his sparks. He did not hate me or blame me or anything. It was hard to even wrap my head around everything that had happened. So much occurred in such a short span of time, but it brought us to this moment and to this place. “How long was I gone?” I asked. I was trying to focus back on the group as a whole instead of just my mates. Although, we definitely had some catching up to do between the three of us. I looked at Kai and smiled because he was here beside me too. I had them both again. Sure, it would be different now that he had his own body, but it would still be the same because it had always been the three of us on our journey together. “Three days,” Xander informed me. I looked at him incredulously. Three whole days? His eyes showed his sincerity, so I knew he was being serious. Well, damn. “Oh. It didn’t feel like that long. It all occurred over the course o
Moon's Betrayal Chapter 105
EMMA I hugged Papa back and took a minute to relax into his embrace. I missed him so much. As much as I missed him, I could not imagine what it had been like for him. He always had to see me from afar. Sure, he raised me for nine brief years in Blacktree, but after that he had to leave. He saw me in Blood Moon, but it was from afar once again. “Thank you, Papa. I will be back soon. Xander, will you come with me please?” I missed him too much, and I needed a moment alone with him. I also needed his clarity. Right now, I was not sure of much, but I knew he could ground me. Both of my mates had that ability, but Kai had been with me in the dreamscape while Xander had been left alone with Ethan. I wanted to make sure that he was okay. I hated to think of the pain this had caused him. No matter how much he tried to show that he was okay, I still saw the pain behind the mask. It was not something we would forget in a quick moment, but we would move past it. We had to. “Of course, love.”
