Damian’s POV
She holds the scrolls with trembling hands as we sit on our bed. I got her herbal tea and a large bottle of water. There are four scrolls which Rayanne deemed relevant to the curse. “Do you want me to read the first one or would you like to?” I ask Selyna.
“I’m okay to start, but if I get tired you can read the rest to me.” She smiles a weak smile and blinks her eyes. This one mostly talks about moons and moon magic, but at the bottom says “The MoonOmen wolf curse is based around the cycles of the moon and the wolf moon is the one most likely to unleash the full extent of the beast within. The curse itself is designed to remind the wolves of what their true nature is. Even a mated moonomen wolf might lose himself on the wolf moon, unless his mate is his true mate. Only a union blessed by
Okay, so tomorrow will be yet another dual POV chapter. After talking to a friend I decided to make this chapter to add some insight into the curse, which may help in how we break it. As Selyna sets up for the ritual she will remember details from today's chapter, that I didn't mention because she wasn't concentrating on those things. The coven will be assisting tomorrow.I hope you enjoy reading it. Please leave comments and reviews. They are always welcome.
Selyna’s POV I filled Damian in on most of the conversation with our two ancestors, still leaving out the rebirth part…I am not sure how to tell my mate that our great great great grandmothers will be reborn as our daughters, or that my ancestor let it slip, much to the amusement of his ancestor. After a goodnight’s sleep we are sitting in our sitting room with some bland foods. I seem okay with simple foods and herbal tea if I take it slowly. “She went insane, you know? The witch who cursed your family, she seems to have completely lost it by that last scroll.” I say to Damian before taking a small bite of toast, “I think she was pretty batty to begin with, but maybe the loss of her daughter sent her over the edge. Is that relevan
Selyna’s POV We have Kirsty bring the messenger to the Alpha’s Office where we all meet him. He’s tall with ethereal features…clearly elven or fae of some sort, with long white hair. “I come to you with a message from my king. He would like you to know that while he escaped by slipping into another realm through a portal he opened that he was attacked. The attackers were mostly humans and rogue wolves, though they do seem to have a witch on their side.” He bowed and nodded to me. “If I am not too presumptuous and the rumors are true, it is you, my lady, who most needs to know as queen of witches and Royal Alpha heir.” I giggle a little. “I am still not officially queen and certainly not used to the titles, but you are not too
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
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
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
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 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 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.
