Damian’s POV
I had been taken aback by Ashe mentioning Selyna’s parents dreamlinking, not as much about the fact that the witches had seemed to know about it while Ashe was the only wolf shifter to know about it and had betrayed Selyna’s trust. She was not only forgiving but forthcoming. There really was no way either Ashe or I would let her go alone into any danger.
Now I am standing in front of everyone, putting on a show of strength despite still healing slowly from the magical ambush and having expelled my own power a bit with those blasts that started the fire. It had been the alarms blaring from the fire that made the witches teleport out without subduing and taking me, like they had intended.
“Are you sure it was Amber?” m
Alpha Sean’s POVI knew they were hiding something but their reactions to the question varied. My son went pale, his heart racing and guilt spreading over his face. A look I hadn’t seen on his face since he was a young boy and stood in this very office confessing to Dimitri about having broken the lock on the princess’s door because the younger child had had a nightmare and he wanted to soothe her. His heart had been in the right place at the time, he hadn’t realized the lock was meant to keep dangerous kidnappers at bay because we had all feared people would come for her if anyone found out she was a hybrid unlike any other, having full powers of both parantages is unheard of. But the little witch had actually slowed her previously racing heart and calmly replied “We had gone out for air, Damian had lit a cigarette and I had meant to flick it out of his hand,
Selyna’s POVThe new moon is here the last few days have been filled with preparations for my induction into the coven and training with the werewolves, I have also gone out to Forest River Park with Damian the last couple of nights, we work on his ability, and learning to control it, then practice controlling my power surges by making out and trying not to blow anything up. We have made some progress, not a lot, but we can kiss longer and deeper and Damian managed to fondle my breasts over my shirt before I caused a ripple that sent a large wave crashing on us last night. I enjoy teasing him with my new pet name for him . He chased me trying to tickle me on the way back to his motorcycle when I called him “my wet Demon” after the wave crashed on us.I just teleported myself into Rayanne’s foyer
Ashe’s POV I have been investigating the other wolf shifters in the pack alongside Riff, Spooky, Chris and Karl. They decided our team would be enough, with my ability and Karl’s technology at our disposal we were a force to be reckoned with. So far we have had no luck, no one seems to be lying and we are running low on possible culprits unless we widen the search to the further out portions of the territory, meaning the surrounding towns. Tonight is the new moon, Selyna is being inducted into her coven as we sit in a bar recapping everything we have learned thus far. Something in this place smells really good, but I can’t pinpoint it. The place is packed! Some good looking guy is on stage playing his guitar and singing a folksy song about looking for love….”yeah, I get ya pal. My bestie found herself a gorgeous guy and here I am just hoping to one day find my mate” I unknowingly si
Chapter 22: Supernatural Council Damian’s POV “THAT LITTLE BITCH!” I roar…I got the mindlink and came over to the offices being used for the investigation immediately. I am thankful that Selyna was doing some training with the witches.She would want to come with me and I do not want her seeing me like this. I never want her to see the monster that I can be. “She’s the Beta’s daughter! She knows the pack comes first not some childish crush or vindictive bullshit!” I growl, a sneer never leaving my face. Riff taunts “Not to get technical oh great Alpha, but you are Beta by birth and blood and she is Gamma by blood.” “It makes no difference” I sneer. “She knew what she was doing!”
Selyna’s POV I really wanted to be with Damian last night but I knew we were being watched closely, our behavior being noticed by everyone and his father was no fool, no matter how I tried to play it off he suspected us. Now I am dressing up for the council meeting, but I can’t get it out of my head how Damian went down on his knees begging me to stay the night. There’s something about seeing a big bad alpha being like that. I know the score and he will make it up to me, but we need to be on our best behavior. This is business. There are several kinds of shifters and a variety of fae, vampires, merpeople, witches, even a shaman and we will all be discussing the attack, and the reason behind it. So basically we will be talking about me, and why people would want to get their hands on me, and why they think (or rather kn
Damian’s POV I ran first in human form, then quickly stripping in the woods I shifted and ran for hours in wolf form. I can’t believe she says she didn’t want to date anyone who is not her mate, we don’t know yet if we are mated! Then again we never defined just what this is between us.It is probably my fault…I just lose my train of thought when it comes to asking her or trying to define what we are to each other. Maybe we're just friends to her, friends with benefits? Fuck! I really need to talk to her! ‘We really need to mate with her’ Steele says. ‘Not helping at the moment’ I growl. ‘She wants to mate with us, we want to mate with her and we might be less frustrated and angry if we gave in to our desire for our little witch.’ I hate that my wolf is making more sense than I can muster myself at the moment. All
Selyna’s POV I wish I could have given him my virginity, but I had dated in highschool and had been with one guy. Heck my first kiss had been shortly before my thirteenth birthday. It was Ashe and it had been sweet, full of love but lacking passion. I love Ashe, but even at 13 we realized that our love was that of best friends, more like siblings than anything. Even when I was dating boys from school my mind would drift to the grumpy boy, who is now the beautiful man kissing me tenderly and asking me if I am ok. I haven’t spoken since Storm excused herself. She promised to keep our secret and to return daily to help us train and control our powers. Apparently, I awoke some sleeping witch powers in Damian. I still don’t understand how the moon goddess, mother of werewolves would or could imbue Hecate’s powers, or maybe it is different because he is a wolf.
Selna’s POV Sunday, after the members of the council departed and Sean and I were done glaring at each other, Damian found me to go train. He was getting more control of his electric ability, but I suspected that what we had gotten up to Saturday evening had increased some of his powers and I was right. I could tell he had been working out down in the gym…he was sweaty and bare chested, carrying his shirt. He’s so damned sexy! I teleported us to our little island practice space, where we could train relatively safely and privately. Most of the week went much the same in the evenings I'd train with Damian. Most nights he would at least spend time with me alone, but often would fall asleep snuggled up with me. Mornings I would go to classes, after early morning training
I have decided after long thought not to continue this story as it is currently written...I want to restructure and plan it better. A Hope For Moonlight has a lot of potential, but my writing style and organizational skills have changed much over the years since I started it. With that said, I intend to go over the manuscript and create a more detailed outline that will combine the story as I had originally wanted it to be but will be more focused and better organised, it will better detail the prophecies and continue into the next generation so that we may see the fullfillment of the prophecies. I do not know when I will get around to this as I have a lot on my plate, but it is something I will be starting to look at as soon as I have a few works in progress completed, or near completion. I have many ideas that I would like to better flesh out so that the work flows better and goes off the rails less.Thank you.
Author”s Note: This is long overdue, but I wanted to thank those of you who have read this far and those of you have been patiently awaiting updates. For over a year now my life has been a mess…I lost one Grandmother and with her, my day job, only to have mental health issues for both myself and my children become an issue, along with financial strain and struggling to find work (I still do not have a day job at this time), I am still struggling a lot and my other grandmother also passed away this past autumn. Despite all that is happening I do intend to continue writing, but I have not been feeling the werewolf genre lately. I will continue with sporadic updates as inspiration strikes, but will also be working on developing some ideas that are dancing around in my head into stories. I have been feeling strongly called to bring my LGBTQ+ characters to the forefront. I may in the future write a more in depth story better chronicling Ashe’s story, however, I am not going to gu
Selyna’s POV Luna Luz is a blast! She and I took our baby bumps to the dance floor as soon as we got to the club, letting the guys talk. Yes, I know that technically I am the Alpha, but tonight is not about business. We are up for fun tonight, before getting serious about what we are up against and finalizing rescue plans over the next couple of days, so tonight we are getting to know our allies. “Tell me, Alpha Selyna…are you Cuban, even in part? You almost look like you could be my little sister!” Luz giggles as she sways her hips in time to the music perfectly. I laugh, “I hardly look anywhere near as exotic as you! My mother’s family is mostly English, but may have ties to several European countries and my Father’s side is Greek!” The exotic beauty in front of me blushes a bit, but seems surprised by my answer. “Of course, I had heard this! You just look similar to myself and move so naturally to the Salsa music and I forgot that I already knew of your family
Damian’s POV The hotel room is beyond luxurious and Alpha Franco left Selyna and I clothing and champagne with a note to meet him and his mates downstairs in the lobby at 7PM. He said that if the clothing doesn’t fit, to call him with a cellphone number which is different from his contact number that we have. I am thinking maybe it is his personal line, rather than the contact through the packhouse. The man has expensive taste. I shower in the extravagant shower with the rainfall and massaging jets. The citrus and spice scented body wash feels like silk on my skin, and the Versace shirt he left with the skin tight jeans (also Versace) is of a purple and teal silk. That is far more color than I am used to wearing in one shirt, but I do not want to offend this Alpha, he has a reputation for elaborate parties and unprecedented entertaining, yet rarely lets anyone truly close. There are rumors about his family having ties to the Old Florida Mafia, but none that have been confirmed.
Selyna’s POV Damian and I basically carry Aunt Rayanne back to our hotel room. She is a mess and will be spending the night with us, So much for more private time with my handsome mate. As Damian unlocks the door I look out over the pool area and feel a cool breeze. It’s warm in Florida in December, but the night air is cool and refreshing. Too bad my aunt is too far gone to enjoy the beauty of the place we are in. Damian throws the door open and puts an arm around Rayanne’s other side so we can haul her into the room. Her head lols to the side and she giggles a little mumbling “I don’t know why Hecate would do such a thing to me…I th..think she…she cursed me...*hiccup*...I don’t even like girls that way! I’ve been fighting this way too long!*hiccup* Wolves are lucky they can reject mates! *hiccup*Once Hecate sets a match up you're stuck! S…so you two are lucky you l…lo…love each
Damian’s POV We walked into the clearing and I immediately spot Riff in human for with claws extended slashing through rogues and a giant alligator, that I really hope is Earl. He’s snapping at several rogues in front of him while more come at him from behind hoping to get the drop on him. Sheila must have seen them going after him the same time I do, because her scream echos through the clearing as she leaps forward shifting. I shift and jump in taking out two of the three closest to Earl’s tail. I feel a bolt of lightning pass me hitting a wolf in the chest in midair just as he was leaping at me and see Storm’s fingers crackling with electricity. Selyna is standing to her left doing something with her hands but I don’t have time to watch my mate. We are outnumbered but making quick work of the rogues who have yet to register just what they have gotten into. Bubbles fly by on my ri
Selyna’s POV Twice more during our trip I felt that surge, but that van had not followed us. It was a strange feeling, like something was trying to both feed my power and simultaneously use my energy. Damian and the others didn’t let me drive for the rest of the trip. We are close to northern Florida right now, driving through Alabama, but I need to stretch my legs and use the facilities so we stop at a rest stop. Riff is outside the door to the lady’s room when Rayanne and I are finishing freshening up and I hear a low growl. Spinning around I see an unfamiliar she wolf. I know she is a rogue wolf shifter because I can smell her. “We don’t take kindly to her kind around these parts!” She inclines her head towards my aunt as she drawls with her southern accent. “What are wolves and witches doing traveling together?” &nb
Selyna’s POV I was sure to pack our bags with a variety of clothing to suit the varying climates, as shifters the difference wouldn’t be as pronounced as it is for the witches, but we would still need jackets and long pants up north and things more suitable to the hot weather when we go south, plus comfort would be a factor in choices and being sure we had some clothes in case we had to shift without changing out of our clothes. I just finished zipping the suitcases when Damian came up behind me with a tray full of food. “Come on, my queen! Let’s have some lunch before we have to gather everyone together to go over the plan and make sure they are all prepared.” He smiled at me and gestured to our sitting area. Thinking back on t
Daman’s POV Since breaking the curse Selyna’s appetite has returned and she seems to be feeling much better, she did have some nausea but after what she experienced before we broke the curse it is minor. The last few nights since breaking the curse we have bathed together using the bundles of herbs and the uncrossing soap. Of course we have our fun in the tub while getting clean. Today is going to be a long day. We are packing and preparing for the mission. Her beautiful eyes meet mine as lay luggage out for the two of us. It’s December so it is cold up here, but it is still warm in Florida which is where we are driving down to, so we will need to pack accordingly with clothes for varying climates. I see her smile at me, sweetly. “What are you thinning, my sexy demon? You look so serious!” She questions with an impish smirk. She sidles up to me then grabs my waist, her slim fingers gently tr
