The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 14

14 /60

11 - Kennedy

I can feel myself slowly pulling towards consciousness. I definitely slept well, but I think that was because all the guys were in the car with me and something about Rayna is calming too. The guys are my safe space, something about them as a group has always kept me settled and focused. I have never had another female settle me enough to sleep though, not even Aunt Beth. Maybe it’s because she’s a part of Jer, an extension of our connection is in her too because of the mate bond. Who knows. When I think I understand werewolf nature something always throws a wrench that makes me question the things that really should make sense, like mates.

With the nature of the nightmares I get while I’m alone, sleeping in my bed you would think that I would have some kind of PTSD riding in a vehicle, but there is no fear of any kind. Never has been. It’s so strange.

I wake up fully as the SUV slows and notice a different scent surrounding me. “Ben?” I ask gruffly as I sit up slowly and look around rubbing my face. “Where did you come from?” I could have sworn that Jason was my pillow when we left.

“I think you finally got the sleep you needed Ken. We’ve been driving for almost 4 hours. We’ve each taken a turn being your pillow and you didn’t move an inch.” He gives me a rare smile. “Even Rayna sat with you.”

I look at the seat diagonal from me and she smiles. “How did I not notice all your giant asses coming and going from the seat? I can see Rayna getting back here unnoticed, but the rest of you, there’s no way. Did you drug me or something?” The third row bench seat doesn’t have doors, so it must have been difficult for them to squeeze through.

“No, but clearly you needed it. Do you feel better?” He looks concerned again. I wish he wouldn’t look at me like that. I know he cares, but sometimes, like now, it feels like more. He has a mate out there somewhere and I will not get involved in that mess.

I turn to look out the window. “Yeah, thanks. Where are we now?” I have to get the subject off of me and my sleeping habits.
