Luna By Design

Seven years ago, Valen Linus became the youngest Alpha in Linus Pack's history by killing his father. Feared by many, he’s seen as one of the most ruthless and calculative leaders in Wolfen society. Many see him as power-hungry, but Valen’s only concern is protecting his family, strengthening his pack, and solving a 2-year-old mystery that could ruin everything he’s built. He has a lot on his plate, and the last thing he needs is an unwanted mate, but fate seems to have other plans. *** “If I get in that bed, Zira, it won’t be to comfort you,” Valen warned gruffly. I was sure he meant it as a warning, but he couldn’t be more mistaken. My eyes lingered on the lines of ink swirling across his chest before returning my eyes to his dark, silver gaze. “I don’t need you to comfort me.” No. Tonight I needed something different altogether.

Chapter 25: Happy Birthday

VALEN’S POV

“Surprise!” a chorus of shouts and congratulations rang out as the lights switched on the moment Zira and I stepped through the front door.

No amount of acting in the world could help me fix the look of surprise on my face, but I managed not to roll my eyes at the ridiculous display. I looked down at Zira where she stood at my side, grinning impishly at me.

“Balloons? Really?” I drolled.

Her excited grin stretched wider, her hazel eyes practically sparkling. “You can’t have a party without balloons. Happy Birthday.”

I bit back the bite of emotion that suddenly tightened my throat. The last time I’d ‘celebrated’ my birthday, I’d been seven. My mother would have to hide any gift she bought me unless Luther discovered them.

“Don’t be angry, Valen.”

Zira’s soft plea brought me back to the present, and I realized I’d started frowning. She was looking up at me with a worried expression now, and I’d long ago stopped questioning my need to always have her smiling.
