The Rejected Luna’s Prince

I walked in and the familiar silence followed in my wake. She froze and her beautiful eyes locked on mine, it made it hard to breathe. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she took a steadying breath. Something flashed across her face and I couldn’t make it out. Confusion? Anger maybe? Possibly both. “Caspien,” She nodded…

“When did we meet?” I studied his face, I would surely have remembered, especially if he did. He looked away, something he rarely did. “It was the night of the now Alpha of Blue Ridge’s birthday,” His words settled on me, “Five years ago.” I swallowed. Thinking of that night still made my heart clench…

Cali and I walked back to her place to get the kids and so she could quickly shower and pack a bag. Her daughter, Loreli, inherited her red curls just a bit lighter in color. Emmett and Loreli had become so close, it was such a relief to me. Not just to feel better about…

Cali threw it to me, “Try it,” She went back to rummaging through the box. I sighed slipping off my clothes and tugging up the soft fabric. “We also need to get you a full-length mirror,” Cali stated, “But wow, yes that, no other options,” “Not like I have any other options,” I gave her…

I leaned against it, letting the coolness calm the heat coursing through my body. “How was it?” Cali asked, I jumped, my heart pounding against my chest. “How did you-“ She shrugged, “I’ve been waiting, you’re back early.” I didn’t know what time it was honestly, “Did they go down okay?” “Really well actually, I…
