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
The Last Luna Chapter 55: Attack
EllieUnable to communicate with the large wolf that was growling at her, Ellie could do little more than growl back. She wasn't going to stand there and let Blade attack her, or whatever else it was he planned to do. She didn't think she could outrun him, nor did she think she could overpower him. But she did know these woods. Perhaps she could find a way to outsmart him.Blade growled at her again as Ellie took a few steps to her left, thinking about the layout of the woods and where she was standing. There was a steep ledge about two hundred yards to her left. She could possibly use that as an advantage.She'd have to do so quickly, though. Blade was done standing around. He came lunging for her, his claws exposed, aiming for her face.Ellie dodged out of the way, watching as the sharp claws from his outstretched paw drew close to her head. He missed this time, but Blade landed next to her and spun around, reaching for her with his teeth.Instinctively, Ellie swiped out and caught
The Last Luna Chapter 56: Mama's Advice
RiverHis house was dark as River walked inside, dropping his car keys in a bowl by the door. He stood still for a moment, listening. He heard a faint, slow heartbeat coming from the kitchen and realized his mother was sitting in the dark in the other room. He headed that direction, crossing through the foyer, living area, and dining room before he saw her, sitting in the nook, staring out at the window, a cup of tea on the table in front of her. No steam rose from the cup, so he could only imagine how old it was. He doubted she'd finished it.She knew he was there, too. "You're finally home," she said, her tone melancholy. "I was getting worried.""Sorry, Mom," he said, not sure whether he should pull out a chair and talk to her or just run upstairs and bury himself beneath his blankets. "I didn't mean to worry you."Patricia turned to look at him, and even though it was dark in the room, only the moon and starlight filtering in through the window illuminating her face, he could tell
The Last Luna Chapter 57: Pain
EllieHer hip ached. Ellie woke up, staring out the window, the sun pouring in on her face, and remembered that she'd been attacked the day before. That wasn't the worst of it, though. As much as her leg was hurting in the place where Blade's teeth had sunk into her flesh, her heart hurt even worse. River had walked out on her. He didn't want to marry her....Ellie brushed her hair back off of her forehead and stared up at the ceiling. The fact that the sun was streaming in her window told her that she'd slept longer than usual. Part of her wanted to go back to sleep, to bury her head under the pillow and pretend away the reality of what had happened the day before.But she couldn't do that. She had to face the facts. More importantly, she had to tend to her duties as the leader of her pack. She couldn't let her own personal problems interfere with her job.Reluctantly, Ellie pulled herself out of bed and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. She'd have to cover up the gauze
The Last Luna Chapter 58: Comfort
EllieRamming head first into an unexpected wall of muscle was jarring. Ellie stumbled backward, almost colliding with the door. Two strong hands took hold of her on either shoulder, straightening her out and making sure she was firm on her feet. "Sorry, Ellie! Are you okay?"She looked up into Ulysses's familiar, dark eyes and breathed a sigh of relief that it was him. As much as she wished River would come back and talk to her, she wasn't ready for that, not yet, anyway. "I'm fine, thanks," she said. "What are you doing here?""I came to check on you," he said. "How are you doing? I mean, after what Blade did yesterday, how could I not check on you?"Ellie gave him a small smile. She was so thankful for his friendship. "That's really sweet of you. Thank you. I'm fine. I just… need some time to think about what happened and decide how to proceed.""You can't let him get away with this," Ulysses warned. "He'll take it to the next level if he thinks he can get away with coming into you
The Last Luna Chapter 59: Seeing is Believing
RiverSleeping had been futile. River had tossed and turned all night, thinking about Ellie and how he'd run out on her without even telling her how he was feeling or making sure that she was actually more interested in Ulysses than she was in him. He'd gotten up early and decided to drive back to Ellie's pack to talk to her in person, especially since he'd heard that Blade had showed up. Even if Ellie wasn't his wife, she was still a woman that he cared about, and he'd be d*mned if he was going to stand by and let Blade put his dirty claws on her.So he'd made the drive back over to Ellie's house, spending the entire time thinking about whether or not it was a good idea. Perhaps he should have called first. Maybe she was still sleeping. He was afraid, though, that if he called first, she'd just tell him where he could go, and then he wouldn't have a chance to talk to her in person.When he arrived in her packlands, he'd slowed down, taking his time, trying to decide what he should s
