The Last Luna Chapter 47: Doubt Sets In
River"Wow! Look at you, all dressed up in a tux! You look like a million bucks!" Allen Stead, River's Beta, left his wife's side and stepped over to wrap his arms around the Alpha. River clapped his best friend on the back. "It's great to see you, man. Thanks for coming.""Sure, sure," Allen said. "We wouldn't miss it for the world." Allen released him, and River stepped over to Samantha to hug her as well. Baby Simpson, who was tiny at not even a month old, was sleeping in her arms."He sure is adorable," River said, looking at the sweet baby's face."Thank you, Alpha," Samantha said, smiling down at her baby. "He's such a good baby, too.""Yeah, hopefully he won't cry during the wedding and mess everything up," Allen said with a laugh. They had come to see River in the room where he was getting ready in a cabin, near the meadow where Michael had everything all set up for the wedding ceremony.River took a deep breath and sighed, pushing his hands deep into the pockets of his tuxed
The Last Luna Chapter 48: Last Minute Jitters
EllieThe sun was shining brightly as Ellie made her way from her house to the glade. She decided to walk, even though Shelby was terrified she'd get her dress muddy. She'd be fine. The train wasn't that long, and she needed the fresh air.Her mind was swimming with worries. Everything from whether or not she would remember what she was supposed to say and when she was supposed to say it to whether River would want to have their marking ceremony that night or wait. She was a mess. Thankfully, her bouquet was big enough that it covered her shaking hands. She grasped it tightly and carried it in front of her chest so maybe no one would see her heart beating against her ribcage.They had made it to the cabins near the meadow when she saw a familiar form coming toward them. Ellie couldn't help but smile at how handsome Ulysses looked in his suit. "Wow! Look at you!" he exclaimed, coming at her with his large arms open wide.Ellie handed her bouquet to Shelby as Ulysses enveloped her in a
The Last Luna Chapter 49: Run Away
RiverHe had almost done it. He had almost convinced himself to go through with the wedding, to give Ellie the benefit of the doubt and follow through with the promise he'd made when he'd entered the tournament. If he hadn't happened to step outside right when he had, he'd be standing at the altar right now, waiting for her to make her way down the aisle on her father's arm, instead of speeding off toward home in his car.It was all making sense now. Why she'd been acting so differently the last couple of days. Clearly, Miss Ellie Knight was a fickle woman, her heart flittering from one Alpha to another. She thought she wanted to be with River one moment and thought she wanted to be with someone else another moment. She claimed that she and Ulysses were just friends, but they'd spent a lot of time together since the beginning of the tournament. Her feelings must have changed.River had heard what she'd said to him, right after she hugged him so tightly."A deal is a deal. I'm afraid
The Last Luna Chapter 50: Left Behind
EllieThe tears that cascaded down her face had nothing to do with the utter embarrassment and sheer humiliation she was feeling at being left at the altar. Rather, Ellie was crying because she couldn't believe River would do this to her. She thought that he really loved her, that even though their romance had been a whirlwind, he was feeling the same thing about her as she felt for him.At least, she'd thought that was the case until the day before when he'd won the tournament, and then, suddenly, everything had changed. She had no explanation for it. Once she realized he'd driven away, Ellie had contemplated going after him, catching him, and forcing him to look her in the eye and tell her what the problem was. Maybe there was someone back home that he had feelings for. Maybe he just didn't think Ellie was the right girl for him. Whatever it was, she needed to hear it from his mouth.But she wasn't about to go after him and demand answers, not today. Instead, she'd made her way back
The Last Luna Chapter 51 A Shoulder to Cry On
EllieSeeing the visitor on her bed, Ellie backed out of the room quietly and went to find some clothes and shift before she came back in. Clearly, they needed to talk, and that was something she wouldn't be able to do as long as she wasn't in her human form. She had some clothes in the laundry room, so she shifted in there and got dressed."Hi, Luna Patricia," Ellie said as she walked back into her bedroom. River's mother was sitting on her bed, holding Ellie's wedding gown in her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks."Oh, Ellie!" she exclaimed, standing up and coming over to wrap her arms around the other Luna. "I'm so sorry!"Seeing Patricia crying made tears well up in Ellie's eyes, too. She didn't want to let them fall. She had hoped after her run that she'd be done crying over River, but as Patricia squeezed her tighter and tighter, she wasn't able to keep them back, and the same salty tears that wet the cheeks of the mother rolled down the face of the would-be bride. "It's no
The Last Luna Chapter 52: Runner Up
EllieWalking down the front porch steps with her heart in her throat, Ellie hurried back to where she'd been when she'd found out River was gone. It was the last place on earth she wanted to go, but she had no choice. Her father had called for her, so she was going.Patricia was coming, too, but Ellie didn't wait for her. Whatever it was, it was serious, or else her father would've told her over the mind-link. Her mind was running wild with possibilities, but when she arrived in the meadow where the archway with the flowers on it was still standing in preparation for a wedding that would never happen, she couldn't believe who she saw.Blade was back, and by the looks of things, he wasn't happy. He was squaring off nose to nose with her father, and both of them looked angry enough to throw punches. Ulysses was there, too, as well as her little brothers, all of them trying to keep the peace, but it was clear that whatever was going on, Michael was about to punch Blade in the face."Bla
The Last Luna Chapter 53: Beta Talk
RiverThe sun was going down when River heard a car pull to a stop behind him. He'd been sitting there for hours, looking out at the land as it spread in front of him, his mind oscillating between thoughts of Ellie and reflecting about his own life in general. He wished his dad was around so he could get some advice from him, but that wasn't possible.So now he was going to have to talk through this with Allen instead, and while his Beta had been married for a few years and knew a thing or two about women, it wasn't the same as confiding in his dad.Allen sat down beside him, his legs dangling over the ledge as River's were. He didn't say anything for a long time, only sat there, waiting. River had nothing to say, so he could stay silent for hours if that was the way Allen wanted to play it.Eventually, the Beta broke. "How long you gonna sit here?" he asked."I don't know. I was thinking about going home," River admitted. "Don't really want to see my mom, though. I take it she's gone
The Last Luna Chapter 54: Being Careful
EllieIt was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Instead, it was one of the worst. Ellie sat in her living room, staring blankly across the room as her friends and family tried to console her. Despite their best efforts, it wasn't doing any good. She felt a vice tightening around her heart. All of this trouble, and it had been for nothing. She never should've agreed to the tournament in the first place."I'm so sorry, honey," Michael said for at least the hundredth time. He was sitting in his chair, across from her. "I should have never have come up with this crazy idea to begin with."She didn't want her dad to feel bad, but Ellie couldn't get the words to come out of her mouth to insist that it wasn't his fault. It came from Shelby instead. "You didn't know, Alpha Michael. How could you have ever guessed that something like this would happen?"He shook his head. "I never would've thought that anyone could treat another person this way, especially not someone like River. He
