Chapter0256
Every night with Liam is amazing, but last night was the most passionate night. we’ve ever shared. I don’t know why his slow, gentle lovemaking felt so intense at an emotional level, but if my heart hadn’t belonged to him before, it definitely. does now.
Because of the Luna ceremony last night, training was called off this morning.Soinstead,Ihave a plan togetstarted on the bunkers and safe rooms. I head down. to the kitchen to grab breakfast. WhenIget there, the woman from yesterday, her name is Amy, is there waiting for me with her young son.
“Luna, I brought a helper. This is my friend Chloe. She is pregnant and will be staying in the bunkers too.”
“The more the merrier.” I say. “So, do either of you know where the bunkers and safe rooms are?” I ask.
They do, and as we are about to head out, Dustin and Sarah enter.
“Luna, do you have a minute?” Dustin asks me.
I tell Amy and Chloe I’ll meet them at the bunker and walk over to Dustin. “Hey, what’s up?”
“Luna, Alpha hasn’t had a chance to set Sarah up with work yet, and she’s uncomfortable staying here without helping. I was wondering if you had something you thought she could do to assist around the packhouse?”
I look from Dustin to Sarah. “Sarah, you know you don’t have to work. You can just take a couple of days to relax.”
She’s shaking her head before I finish. “No, I don’t want to be dead weight. I can help. Plus, it’s better than sitting around and just thinking about what happened yesterday.”
“Okay, well, how to you feel about cleaning and stocking?” I ask her with mock. cheerfulness.
“Sounds like fun.” She replies with mock enthusiasm..
“Then you’re with me.” I say as we both laugh. She says goodbye to Dustin and we head to the bunkers to meet up with the other ladies.
When we get there, I introduce them and we look around. “Well, we certainly have our work cut out for us, don’t we?” I ask.
“We haven’t used the bunkers in years.” Chloe says, looking at Amy.
“Probably not since Luna Estella died.” Amy says nodding.
We begin pulling out old furniture,dividing up the areas to clean.
“So, Sarah, you’re human.” It’s a statement, not a question from Amy.
“Yes.” She says, looking at me.
“How did you meet our Luna?” Chloe asks her.
I look at Sarah, not sure if she wants them to know. She looks at me as she replies. “We were prisoners in the coven at the same time.”
Both women suck in a breath. Chloe takes a step toward her, tears in her eyes. Can I hug you?” She asks.
When Sarah nods, she comes over and begins crying on her shoulder. Sarah looks at me questioningly but wraps her arms around her and pats her back
awkwardly. I just shrug.
It’s Amy that speaks up. “Chloe, you’re freaking her out, stop blubbering.”
‘Sorry. It must be the hormones.” Chloe says, sniffling. “But seriously, I can see why our Beta is taken with you. I don’t know how you survived in that awful place.”
Sarah shrugs. What can we say, you do what you have to do to survive.
About an hour later we’ve made good progress. The room is clean and we’ve started making a list of supplies that will be needed to stock the bunker. I’m going though the in–room pantry,calling out items when Dustin walks in.
“Good morning, Beta.” Amy and Chloe sing out in unison.
I turn to see Dustin walking toward Sarah. “Good morning, ladies. How is everyone this morning?” He asks, but he’s only looking at Sarah.
She blushes slightly as he comes up to her, standing a bit too close. Sarah doesn’t seem to mind. If anything, her shoulders relax a little. “Hi Dustin.” She says quietly.
He leans in and tries to subtly sniff her. Unfortunately for him, he’s in a room
with nosey women.
“What does she smell like Beta?” Amy asks.
His
eyes go wide and he looks like he’s been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Sarah looks appalled.
