No Longer Be your Luna (Jane and Xander) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: A Night to Remember.

*Jane*

“Jane? Are you okay? What’s going on?”

I hadn’t really expected him to pick up at this hour. I mean who

calls someone they barely know at this ungodly hour?

“I shouldn’t be calling so late. I’m sorry, I’ll hang up…”

“Don’t hang up.” There was something in his voice that made me

drop the finger that was ready to end the call. It felt like he was

touching the depths of my soul without even being here. My

racing pulse slowed, and I could feel my wolf relax. She’d been

restless since that encounter with Xander.

“Talk to me.

“Just a nightmare,” I lied. I wasn’t sure why I did. I’d practically

told Aaron everything about my marriage to Xander. “Woke up

in a panic and just… grabbed my phone. Dialed the first number I

saw.”

Aaron smiled. “Are there any monsters?”

Even though he couldn’t see me, I rolled my eyes. “Something like

that.””

“Want to hear something ridiculous?” Aaron asked. Without

waiting for my answer, he launched into a story about getting trapped in a nightclub bathroom.

I giggled. “How did that happen?”

“I didn’t read the sign! I had no idea the lock was bad. Definitely

not my fault.”

“Yeah. definitely not.”

The switch in topics took me off guard, and I appreciated the fact

that he’d realized I needed some cheering up and didn’t push

further for answers.

As he spoke, I found myself curling into a ball, hanging on his

every word. It was just a regular conversation, but I felt drawn to

him. It almost seemed like I was speaking to someone I’d known

for years, rather than someone I’d met all of 5 minutes ago.

“So there I was, trapped in this tiny bathroom stall, pounding on the door until my knuckles hurt. The music was deafening, no one could hear me over it.”

My mouth fell open. “Oh my God. How long were you in there?”

“Till closing time…”

“Aaron! Why didn’t you just break the door down? I’m sure your

wolf could manage that.”

He gasped dramatically. “Are you encouraging destruction of

property?”

I had to cover my mouth to stifle my laughter. “Only if it’s

necessary.”
