Chapter 10 - Excitement

2024-10-29 19:42:56Erik’s P.O.V
Kaelb and I were in our wolf form running in the forest, absolute joy filled our very being. Tomorrow, Rodrik was collecting my Luna and their daughter finally bring them home. Finally, my family would be complete, my life would be complete. The past years had been hard on both my wolf and myself. After my mistake all those years ago that forced Freya to flee, Kaelb had retreated into the deeps of my mind. He refused to come out and after I had let that wretched woman take control of me, oh the pain we endured. It was a miracle we had survived. My mother regretted ordering that spell on me as soon as she saw my weak form but it was already too late. The pain from Freya breaking our bound took a toll on my soul. It had left me thin, begging for death. I drowned in my own hatred and disgust for a long time, never leaving my room trying to die of starvation. Kaelb growled not wanting to let the memories of our past take over this joyous moment I sighed focusing on the feeling of the forest floor on my paws. The thrill of the wind racing by my fur as the night sky lit up in front of my wolf’s eyes. I stopped in the meadow, my Luna’s meadow. A beautiful clearing filled with night jasmine and herbs that Freya had planted in our first year together. All this time I maintained it, sometimes I would just sit here with my eyes closed reliving those glorious first few years.
“Alpha, you have been requested for an immediate meeting with Alpha Darren from Blood Moon pack”
Rodrik interrupted as Kaelb let out a frustrated growl. We had not been out on a run in over a week due to our responsibilities of alpha and now with more packs arriving for the coming festivities, I just had no time to let him roam. I ignored the request for Kaelb’s sake for a while, just taking in the night jasmine’s aroma and joyfully imagining tomorrow when she would be here. I had received her last letter earlier thankfully. I did not realize just how under-educated Sera was of her heritage and of pack life. It made sense as Freya was not included in the pack thanks to my parents but for some reason, I thought she would have been taught. I paused a moment, thinking about Emily. No. Emma? The other girl, her other daughter. I wondered who her father was, I wondered if he loved Freya as I did. Kaelb growled in protest hating the idea anyone else would have the chance to touch what is ours.
Rodrik’s reddish-brown wolf caught up to me, he huffed and stared into my eyes pleading. I sighed as Kaelb pouted internally knowing we had to shift and deal with this. After grabbing some of the clothes we had stashed around the forest and getting dressed I turned to my beta annoyed. I opened the pack link as he had not shifted from his beast form.
“What is so important that he cannot wait till morning?”
Rodrik grimaced at my tone, a pang of regret-filled me not meaning to take out my frustration on him.
“My apologies Alpha but he is claiming his son has found his mate…”
Rodrik paused waiting for my response, I rolled my eyes, and of course, he wanted to shove it in my face. His son had just celebrated his 18th birthday last month and Darren was super excited for his son to locate his mate so he could take over. I suspected he called this meeting to request to hold the ceremony in my lands while they were here.
“Umm Alpha.”
Rodrik looked nervous, which was unlike him.
“Is there more?”
I asked impatiently as I began walking back through the forest to the meeting hall.
“Yes, well his mate…”
He stopped and looked at me, trying to gauge my mood. I let out a frustrated growl
“Beta get it out will you”
“Alpha, he is claiming his son’s mate is Sera…”
I stopped as cold anger filled me.
“Excuse me?”
I glared, Kaelb was ready to seize control
“Surely you don’t mean my daughter?”
I laughed as Kaelb started to think of all the ways he could rip Darren’s boy’s throat out.
“That’s precisely what I am saying”
Rodrik’s tone was cautious, his eyes glued to me making sure I wasn’t to lose control.
“He wants to begin discussions on a ceremony right away, and pack structure as Sera is your only daughter”
I knew Rodrik was just informing me of what was requested but I was losing control over Kaelb, we were not losing our family before we even got the chance to have it. Darren was making a ploy, his and my packs were the largest in the country. He just wanted what was mine.
“Alpha, remain in control. Darren will not wait for us much longer, the man is short on patience”
I snarled feeling my body shake violently.
“How can his boy be sure? She has not even arrived yet?”
I sneered through my teeth, he must be mistaken. He has to be mistaken.
“I do not know Alpha, I’m sure you can ask Alpha Darren”
His tone was short, obviously, his patience with me was waning. I nodded and continued walking, Rodrik did not deserve my attitude, and he was only the messenger. I fought the urge to let Kaelb out, part of me nervous he would challenge Darren. I would straighten this out tonight. No way was anyone getting in between me and mine.
“She’s too young Rodrik”
“Alpha, she’s almost 18 herself. Most pups find their mate at 16”
I snarled again deep in thought
“How could he even have met her?”
“Sir again I do not know, you should be talking to Alpha Darren”
“Oh I won’t be talking”
I chuckled darkly, Kaelb in agreement with the thought of killing him.
“Alpha please, what if he is telling the truth? Hurting Alpha Darren or his son would hurt your daughter. Besides, do you really want a war?”
Kaelb snarled again, but I sighed in defeat. He was right, if they were true mates I would be unable to harm Darren’s son without harming my daughter. I would not allow a discussion until I could ask her myself, I would tell Darren to fuck off until she claimed him and if she was anything like her mother… Well, that might take some time. I smirked at Rodrik thinking about the frustration that boy would face trying to claim a daughter mixed of myself and Freya. Kaelb whined at the thought of Freya encouraging memories of her breathtaking smile to the forefront of my mind. I focused on her. I could get through this and retreat back to my bedroom to re-live all those precious memories again.

He towered over all of us in height and had these gorgeous forest green eyes that reminded me of the tress back home. As he approached us out the front of the hotel his tight shirt rode up his arms showing off tattoo-covered muscles. He faced us with a sharp grin, I would not call it pleasant. It seemed forced.

The other part of me thought it was a little out of line on her part. Regardless his shocked facial expression was kind of

Both of us kept cackling with laughter as the paid actors seemed to go overboard with their products. It was nice. Just enjoying Emma’s company like nothing had happened. I looked at my little sister, as her eyes widened in panic. She gripped her nose as if she could smell something disgusting. I was about to ask what was wrong before I screamed. The cold fire started to lick my flesh. The pain was horrendous, I scratched my skin thinking if only I could get it open the fire would stop. I could feel the flames licking further up my arms and legs before they reached the base of

Emma’s P.O.V I had been patient. This past week I had been sneaking out to consume as much animal blood as I could. It was hard at first but I knew that this was better. At the same time, I had been slowly poisoning the blood stores Aamon and Luci used to feed, both were too nervous to leave the castle. Apparently, Aamon was planning some sort of ritual to evoke more power, some great weapon that would make him unstoppable. The shadow child has come back occasionally, I hadn’t quite figured out how to summon him but it seemed to be when I was calm or in danger. He had helped me greatly setting everything up for my revenge. And now it was time. My heart fluttered with nerves as I snuck through the dusty halls, my plan would have weakened them both but I knew I still would be no match to them in combat. I had to trick them. I walked down a spiral staircase coming to an old heavy door, taking a deep breath I readied myself. I had not been down to the dungeons in a long time
A Sacred Place Chapter 53 – Vengeance
Emma’s P.O.VI sat my back against the cold stone bricks of this disgusting castle. It was calming in a sense, the coldness reminding me that I deserved nothing less. It was my fault for everything. If I had just been a bit stronger, a bit more like Sera then maybe she wouldn’t be dead. Mother wouldn’t be dead. I looked up at the ceiling and watched as a small spider strung its web as my heart longed to go back. Back to the house out in the woods, back to the small town, back to a time where life was good.“Emma?”I heard Luci call as she entered this room at was apparently mine.“You still haven’t eaten? My dear, you will grow weak. That would be a waste.”Her tone was soft, it had been since I had been brought back here. She almost seemed nice but I wasn’t going to fall for it again. She was just as evil as Aamon. A monster. They made me a monster. I felt her presence as she sighed heavi
A Sacred Place Chapter 52 – Aftermath
Damon’s P.O.VI had not slept in three nights. I couldn’t, not until Sera was safe back in my arms. Sam growled inside my mind, pacing in a sense fuelling our combined fear and dread. He begged to take over and find her himself but I couldn’t allow that. We had followed her when she first took off, yet that somehow made her run faster. I slammed my hand down on the desk that held our plans to relocate her in frustration. How could I have let myself scare her like that? Had been too clingy? What had gone through her head? We had won, she… she had won. I had never seen such sights of strength and fearlessness. It had been awe-inspiring beautiful and a show of just how much she deserved to be Luna of now, the biggest pack in existence. So what had driven her away?“Alpha”Carlos appeared nodding his head in greeting, his solemn look giving away the news he came to tell me.“We lost her trail.”I couldn&
A Sacred Place Tradition (Titles part 2)
Sera’s P.O.VMy heart was racing with excitement and absolute terror. I was pregnant. Damon was going to be a father, me, a mother. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. How? I mean I know how it happened but… HOW? I wasn’t ready for this, I couldn’t do this! Darren looked at me concerned, squeezing my hand tightly as we walked down the stairs of the packhouse.“My dear, please try and calm your heartbeat. I promise it will be over before you know it.”I was thankful he mistook my anxiety for the ceremony, I did not want to tell him the news. I attempted to smile back at him but I guess it was more of a grimace as he sighed and continued.“If you really don’t want to go through with this Sera, I can cancel it.”I shook my head, part of me so happy that he would do that for me and another part of me still screaming in terror at the idea of being a mother.“I’m okay, just… ne
A Sacred Place Chapter 51 – Titles
Sera’s P.O.VTime had surprisingly passed so quickly, it had now been 3 months since I lost my family. Yet today, today I was gaining a new one. It had been so hard to let go of the idea I could still save Emma, Alpha Darren had been the one to console me with that grief. Emma was a vampire now, in Aamon’s control. There was nothing I could do for her. Carole had taught me so much about how a Luna is expected to act, and run a pack. I was pleasantly surprised to find that essentially my job is just to make sure everyone is safe, loved, and supported. For some reason, I thought I was going to be like a royal system. Danni had not only taken a great liking to me but was convinced one day I was going to be her stepmother. I couldn’t help but laugh at the idea, Damon and I had not even discussed having children of our own yet. Speaking of Damon, I felt a grin form on my face thinking back to how darn excited he was when I asked for us to hold the ceremony. He had
A Sacred Place Chapter 50 – Abandoned
Sera’s P.O.VI sat in the meadow that had at one point apparently been my mother’s garden, it laid in ruins. Overrun with weeds that had taken over the aged brick beds that had once fenced the more delicate flowers against the grass line. A cold wind had come over the land bringing in winter but for me felt almost like a sign from the Moon Goddess herself, as if she too was mourning with me. I had lost. Everything. My father had vanished, Emma, she was lost. Her vampiric face flashed before my eyes again, the venom and cold hunger they had held as she bit down on my flesh. I knew deep down it had not been her fault, I knew she did not have control. But, I would be lying if I didn’t admit the fear I held. Star still had not returned, my mind was hollow and depressing. Constantly replaying everything I had ever said to my mother that had hurt her, all my childish mistakes, and all of my toxic attitude. I couldn’t even remember the last time I had told he
A Sacred Place Chapter 49 – Love
Damon’s P.O.VMy love looked so peaceful today, her face free of the normal worry lines. Her perfect lips sat slightly agape as her breathing was slow and steady. I sighed with content smiling down at her, my heart fluttering knowing she was mine. Earl had informed me it wouldn’t be much longer before she awoke from her coma, I was both excited and terrified to see her awake. I wondered how she had been so mortally wounded, why Aamon had let her live. How she would handle everything that had happened. I let out a frustrated breath as I intertwined my fingers in her silver curls, closing my eyes to enjoy how soft they felt on my skin. I smiled as I felt her face move closer to my fingers, happily stroking her skin. My heart flutter more as I heard her make noises of approval in her sleep, she truly was perfect. A knock sounded breaking the moment, I glanced surprised as Earl popped his head through the slightly ajar door.“Sorry Damon”He
A Sacred Place Chapter 48 – Hatred
Emma’s P.O.VI stood, staring blankly ahead a strange hollowness making it hard to concentrate on anything. Sera’s dried blood hung thick against my skin, I didn’t know what I hated more. The metallic taste or the fact that I liked it. A cold hand grasped my shoulder firmly as that sick voice whispered.“It’s time to go little princess”I felt my face contort to disgust as I attempted to shake off his hold, my eyes flickering between Sera’s slumped body and my mother's. He chuckled before pulling me away with him violently.“Now, now dear. It had to be done.”I refused to look at him, the man that was my grandfather didn’t exist. This thing that claimed to be him was sick, evil, and twisted. He chuckled as I clenched my fists thinking about how good it would feel to see his eyes drain of life as mothers had.“Now Emma, that’s no way to think about your elders. Besides, y
A Sacred Place Chapter 47 – Greif
Damon’s P.O.VFor the third time, I felt my heart began to shatter as I felt Sera’s soul start to fade away, already in such a short time I had almost lost her again. I growled staring at her unconscious form laying on my bed. She seemed almost peaceful right now, her chest breathing steadily. I sighed deeply placing my head in my hands thinking back to the state I had found her in, slumped over next to Luna Freya. Her heartbeat so slow, I had almost been too late. I had been overcome in my rage at Paul, tempted into torturing him for his last few moments alive as punishment for even daring to harm my love. I hadn’t even noticed that she had vanished from sight. Earl had thankfully arrived a day earlier thanks to my father’s request managing to stabilize her quickly. My heart hurt knowing how much I would have to explain to her when she awoke, her mother was dead. Her sister Emma had disappeared, and her father… Alpha Erik… he was loose i
