Luna's POV:
It was almost time for me to head out to the usual bar as thoughts swirled through my mind when I suddenly heard a soft voice coming from my office doorway
"You're still here?" Angel said with a grin.
"Yes I was about to head out. I was trying to get a few more last minute details worked out on these reports." I replied as I neatly stacked the papers on my desk next to my computer.
"Well I am on my way out now, would you like to ride with me?" Angel asked.
"Oh! Sure let me just grab my wallet." I replied with a smile.
Angel and I made our way to the lobby where the familiar long black limousine waited for us. The driver held the door open as Angel and I qui
Luna's POV:The driver quickly gets out and opens the door holding out a hand to help Angel and I from the car. I immediately smell a mixture of familiar and unfamiliar scents as we make our way inside. Tatum is chatting with a few males that I don't recognize and Angel gives me a slight nod before making her way to the table that Malcolm is sitting at. I walk casually up to the bar and sit on one of the stools across from Jack."Well hello there little lady! Long time no see!" Jack says as a smile spreads across his face."Hey Jack! How have things been here at the bar lately?" I ask as I look around."Oh you know the usual. Nothing an old man can't handle. How have you been? That boy better not be keeping you too busy at the firm?" Jack asks as he grabs a glass and pou
Luna's POV:"Ladies and gentleman, I would first like to thank you for coming out tonight on such short notice. There are a few things I would like to announce before we all begin to eat." Tatum begins to speak."First I would like to announce that we have successfully expanded our clan reach in Asia and Africa." Tatum says as he motions towards a beautiful African woman with silver eyes and towards Kyle at the bar."It has been our pleasure." The woman says in a distinguished voice.Kyle just lifts his glass in the air gesturing towards the young woman."Now the next few weeks will be crucial for the expansion. I will be reaching out to several of you who have underlings who have shown an interest in moving up in our ranks.
Luna's POV:The next two days are quiet and we spend our time lounging around the house and by the poolside. The day before Tatum has to leave he gets called to the office to go over some documents and plans for his upcoming business trip."So much for having three days of." Tatum says with a sigh as he grabs his car keys."Do you want me to go with you?" I ask as I lean in the doorway of the garage."No. I shouldn't be too long." Tatum replies before embracing me."Just stay here and relax." Tatum says and then places a deep kiss on my lips.I wrap my arms around his neck and I feel his grip on me tighten. Our lips part and a sign escapes Tatum's lips.
Luna's POV:"You gonna be ok?" I ask teasingly."Yeah mom knows I hate desk work. She did that on purpose." Kali says as she drags a chair around the desk."I'll have most of it done by one Kali. I promise you won't have much to do if anything." I reply as I look at the clock and get back to work as Kali sits quietly next to me.It's almost 12 and I've sent multiple emails to Tatum with reports and approvals but I've still not heard back about anything so I print off the necessary papers and head towards Malcolm's office. I knock briskly on the door and wait"Come in." I hear Malcolm call out.I gently open the door to see there are various clan members in the chairs around the la
Luna's POV:It's Friday morning and I'm fixing to head to the conference room for the meeting about the expansion but I am struggling with some of the budgets I was given. I've been over the paperwork hundreds of times but the numbers aren't adding up for some reason and I can tell that Malcolm is getting more stressed. I am just outside the office door when I hear a familiar voice that causes my heart to jump."Well everyone's here can we get started? I have another plane to catch before one this afternoon." I hear Tatum's voice.I haven't spoken to Tatum since his last message. I know he's been busy but it irritates me slightly that he didn't tell me he would be back today even if it was just for a short time."It's still early and our newest board member is on t
Luna's POV:"Yes Titan?" Malcolm says with a kind expression."When were you going to tell me about our newest addition to the board?" Tatum says dryly."Ah well it's only been a week and I didn't think it would be a problem." Malcolm replies."Then why waste my time by having me attend this meeting as well?" Tatum growls as Malcolm begins to walk around the table towards him.Tatum's phone suddenly begins to ring and he quickly answers. I catch the faint voice of a woman on the other end and I begin typing slower as I focus on the conversation."You are flying back today right? You left so quickly last night I didn't get to say goodbye." The voice says softly.
Luna's POV:The next week seemed to fly by as plans for the new firm began to take shape and finalize. My magic was improving significantly and Angel had taught me many new things I didn't know I was even capable of doing. The power I was tapping into was invigorating and I had never felt more energized but despite every good feeling I was having I missed Tatum. We hadn't spoken since that day he left the office and no matter how badly I've wanted to message or call him I've resisted. I had asked Malcolm to approve a few documents after Tatum left again but after a few days of doing that Malcolm assured me that anything I passed in front of him was good and told me I no longer needed a prior approval for things. This made things easier but now I also didn't have an excuse to send Tatum emails either. I felt like I was losing him in some way and that our connec
Luna's POV:I am almost back to the familiar clearing when I hear Malcolm howling in the distance signaling the end of their run. All the others howl in unison to confirm they are done and on the way back to the house as well. I waited a few moments then let out a low howl to let the others know I was close by but not quite done. A confirmation howl echoed back and I sat down in the middle of the forest looking through the tree line at the clearing ahead. Tatum's familiar scent drifts through the air and I'm suddenly brought to my feet. I look around in every direction wildly as my ears flick back and forth trying to detect the faintest sound. I wait for what seems like forever but there's no sign of him anywhere. I huff loudly and begin heading towards the house with confusion in my heart. Once I'm back and redressed everyone but Angel and Malcolm are in the pool. I quickly run in and change into
