Third Person POV"You won't be long, will you?" Livie asked Ricky over the phone as they parked the car and turned off the engine. "No, baby. I just need to take care of a few little things while Hunter is away with Skylar. I'll be back before dinner, I promise." "Ok. Oh, and Ricky?" "Yes, love?" "Why don't you ask Hunter to come over for dinner? I have a few things I wanted to talk to you two about," she says nonchalantly. "Uhm. Okay, sure. I'll let him know. But I'm not sure if he will be home tonight, babe." "Just... tell him. Ok?" she asks, sounding a little irritated. She had been on edge lately, and the last he wanted was to irritate his Luna. "Ok, baby. I'll make sure we're both back before dinner." "Great. See you then," she replies a little enthusiastically before hanging up.Brandon, Zane, and Ricky got out of the car, a little too pumped up and ready for what they were about to do. They placed Noah inside a ring and forced him to put on gloves and face each one of th
LivieI paced back and forth as I waited for my father-in-law to come back home. Ricky acted far too strange on me, and I just knew something was up. It didn't take me much digging. It was quite simple actually. All I had to do was talk to Margot. Zane keeps nothing from her. And when I mean nothing- I mean nothing. She knew what I was going at, and well... at first, she was adamant. She would not budge, but I knew how to make my little bird sing. I had Desiree help by what I knew Marogt could not resist. Books! Margot loves reading. Desiree was able to download hundreds of books for free on her device, all free! And I mean books that would normally have to pay at least twenty bucks or more to read. My little bird sang like the biggest Canary. But I was pissed. How could my brother and Ricky keep this from me? I had no choice but to tell my father-in-law what was happening. If the council found out about this, they would be in so much trouble. The car stopped in front of the pa
LivieI sat at the edge of my bed, combing through my hair with my eyes closed, and enjoying the sound of the first rain of the season. It was soon going to start snowing, I could just feel it. It was cooling down drastically, and Alarick assured me that Skylar's pack was almost done being reconstructed. I couldn't wait for them to leave. Don't get me wrong, most of them are nice to me now. But there are still a few that I do not like around my pack, especially around our young ones. The last I need is for them to start corrupting our teens and get them to start acting like them. "So... you're not mad at me for not telling you about Noah?" Ricky says, making me startled. I didn't hear when he turned off the shower, I was lost in thought for what I had gone through today. "No. Why would I? If I were you I would have ripped his throat out." I said coldly, making him pause as he gripped his towel around his waist. His body was still dripping making him look so sexy. I bit the inside o
Livie"I love you, Livie. Thank you," Ricky says as he snuggles closer to me in bed, making me smile. "For what?" I reply, in a whisper tone as he begins to fall asleep. "For making me the happiest guy in the world," he says as he sighs, burying his head on the curve of my neck and falling asleep. I can't help but smile as a tear falls from my eye. My hand rubs my stomach softly as my other hand wraps his arms. "No. Thank you, Ricky. For saving me from the hell I was in and giving me a better life story. And thank you, baby." I said referring to my little pup. "For coming into our lives and making it better than it already was. I promise I will protect and love you every day of our lives." I said as I felt more tears falling right before I gave in to sleep. I can already picture it. How I will hold my baby, and feed him or her. How I will look forward to him or her taking his or her first step, and I'll look forward to the baby's diapers, the changing of clothes, he'ck... I can't ev
Third Person POVLivie returned back home, and was surprised to see Ricky back home already. She was sure he would take longer, I mean he did mention in his note that he was going to speak with the were-council. So, she figured he would be out all day."Hi, baby," she says with a smile as she sets down her bag with the waffle for Ricky. "Hi, baby. How are my two most precious girls in the world?" he says, sitting on the edge of the bed. Livie comes closer, welcoming the embrace of Ricky's arm as he places a kiss on her belly. Ricky wanted his heir, he knew it would be essential to have a boy first, but he wanted a little girl too.Just the thought of having a tiny Princess call him Daddy and seeing her run to his arms made him swell inside with pride and inexplicable emotions.Livie can't help but smile as she hugs him around his head and leaves a kiss on top of his head. "Tired. Goddess, I don't know why I feel so worn out. It seems I get tired so easily now." she says, making him ch
LeahI am so damn mad right now that I can tear Olivia apart just like I did with those stupid humans back there. But I have to be smart about it. None of this would have happened if it wasn't for her. I had a perfect life before she had to break the news of being the stupid Luna of the Dark Pack. I always dreamed of becoming a strong Luna. When I was small I had always admired Brandon, but I couldn't stand Olivia, she was so annoying, always around him. It was always my desire to spend time with him, but wherever he went Olivia was there. It was either her or Skylar around him. I was sure he would be my mate one day. I just knew it. Why did things have to end like this? Why? It isn't fair. I dragged Olivia out of her room and made sure not to be seen by anyone. Thanks to her, Skylar and Hunter found me. They stole everything from me. All my money... gone. All my jewelry, everything. I was so mad I wanted to cry again. She tipped them off, it had to be her. Who else would have figu
Livie“You act like you fucking care for this bitch. Since when have you ever cared for her, Evelyn? " I started coming to. I had a terrible headache. I knew what was happening right away as I looked around slowly to not give myself up I could hear the desperation and annoyance in Leah’s voice."I don't," Evelyn says, shrugging her shoulders and lifting her hands in defense. She knew I was alert, and I nodded, letting her know to stay quiet. “I just... I care about you, ok? You have never seen me as a friend, but I do. I don't want you getting hurt. Leah, I should have stopped you when you left. It wasn't right, you and I know it. Please... just put the knife down. You're stirring up the wrong pot here. The Dark Moon wolves are not to be reckoned with, and you know it." To everyone else, my body was still not in full view, they couldn't see I was conscience, not even Leah, since her back was toward me. I stayed down, acting as if I was still out cold."AAAAAAAH!" I hear a screeching
Livie"You... you stole everything from me. EVERYTHING!” Leah cried, furrowing her eyebrows as she looked at me with anger. “If you hadn't meddled in my life from the start I wouldn't be here like this. I lost my Wolf because of you. You're the cause of all this. Brandon hates me, and it's all your fault!" Leah cried, making me roll my eyes in annoyance. I already knew her Wolf was gone, I sensed it the moment I came back to conscience. But I wanted to see how far she went with this. I am done. I'm DONE being her dirt rag. I am done being pushed around by her, her stupid friends, and alpha Noah. I am tired of being used and abused. They have no power over me. Not. Any. More.I chuckled, making her expression change from hurt to anger. She launched herself at me, but I moved out of the way, kicking her hard on her stomach, and smirked with pleasure as I saw her body crash against one of the raised beds growing my daisies. I heard a mixture of gasps and whoots. “Get her, Luna!” a youn
Abbie's POV (five years later)I walked with Hunter by my side, slowly making my way toward the stairs. Hunter held our son Mateo's hand. Anthony walked next to Mateo, holding his other hand as they smiled from ear to ear. Today was my baby girl Autumn's first birthday, and as the heir to Elena's throne after me, our pack, Elora, and Elena's kingdom would give her a grand party. We had an enormous celebration the year Mateo was born, as he was next in line for Elora's pack as the first male alpha. As for Anthony- we officially adopted him the same year Mateo was born. Though many were against the idea, being he's not blood-related to Hunter, he is still related to me, and going against the next queen was futile, so, after a small debate, all the elders in our pack decided on allowing him to take over as the next alpha of the Blood Moon Pack of the North. He has three more years to go before he takes over, so Hunter has been training him daily. Sadly, he's not the tiny boy we once
Abbie's POV It's been two months since we defeated Matisa—two months too long since we've been looking for the real Analise. Today, we finally found her.It wasn't easy finding her and bringing her home would certainly not be easy. Where we found her, she had made a whole new life. She was married and had two kids, one born and one growing inside her. We stood at the top of the hill, looking down at a strawberry field. Analise strolled through the field looking beautifully, with long blonde hair and a beautiful yellow sundress, the fabric tinted with tiny white daisies on the fabric, giving it that sweet spring feel. She happily picked strawberries and placed them into a basket, playing with a little girl who picked up a strawberry and bit it, making Analise chuckle. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. But my heart also ached for the elderly lady standing beside me. Hunter stood on my other side, his hand wrapped around Anthony's shoulders, who was happy we found his aunt."How di
(One month later)Abbie's POVAs the days went by, things began to return to normal slowly. I finished my classes and received my certificate credentials to become a certified teacher. There was also a great debate between Elena, my mom, Elora, and me over taking over the kingdom. Elora wanted me to take over her pack, Elens wanted me to take over the crown, and I- wanted to stay in my pack. So, we came up with a plan. Elora needed a replacement. So, if I ever had a daughter, we would train her to become the next alpha. But if I gave birth to a boy, she'd have to give him the pack when he's ready to take over as alpha. Which- she agreed. As for the throne, Elena has been the queen for hundreds of years, and a few more years won't hurt. So, she agreed that when Anthony is old enough to take over as Alpha of Hinter's pack, I will take the crown and serve my kingdom along Hunter's side. For now, I will stay here- in my pack, where I belong. The Blood Moon Pack of the North has alway
Abbie's POV "Sweetheart... it's okay. It's okay. You did really good today, Abbie. I know this is hard, but this is the way things had to end. There was no other way. She would have continued to kill innocent girls if we hadn't ended things this way. I'm so proud of you," Elora says as she kneels beside me, resting her hand on my shoulder. I sniffled, shutting my eyes, and leaned into Hunter's chest. My hot tears continued to roll down uncontrollably. I felt Hunter's warm thumbs gently wipe my tears. He kissed my head and rested his chin where he had left his kiss. Despite the sorrowful agony inside, his embrace made me feel a little comfort as our spark ignited inside me. "I know. I just... I can't help but feel so guilty. I know Matisa was a sadistic, evil witch. She deserved what was coming to her. But I truly wished none of these witches had followed her blindly. So many of them died for her sake. And then there's Analise. I wish she were alive. We could have been good friends
Hunter's POVThe battle was getting out of hand. Time and time again, we were being attacked by warlocks who would shapeshift into different creatures. They were stronger than I had anticipated, but I managed to tell the difference between Warlock and Santiago. Just as I thought we were done for, Santiago shifted back to a minotaur again, charging toward me. "Hunter, watch out!" Alarick yells, holding his hand out. "Not today, asshole!" I hear Axel suddenly come into view. He charges behind the minotaur, jumping into the air, grabbing the monster by the horns, and pulling him down. I shift onto Titus and launch toward them, snapping my snout; I grip the minotaur's neck and bite down hard. I could feel the canines pierce its skin, giving it a guttering growl. Axel finishes him off, hitting him on the back of his neck, making me snap the whole head off of him. The head falls to the ground, making it roll away. "That's what you get for laying your filthy hands on my son, asshole!" I
Abbie's POVMatisa looked my way menacingly and fisted her hands. "You just don't know when to give up, do you? Don't say I didn't warn you to stay away, you stupid bitch. I'll make you pay for coming here and trying to sabotage my plans. That throne should have been mine. Our grandmother was stupid to have married that mutt. But rest assured, the throne will be mine, and not you or anyone will stand in my way!" Matisa says as she looks at me with rage. The aura exuding from her hands intensifies, and she smirks at me as if she had already triumphed over me. I can hear something slowly crawl behind me and see the vines creeping up behind me. She was using her herbal spell, making a vine creep up behind me in an attempt to strangle me, but unfortunately for her. I had a counterspell to get rid of her vine. She yells, and the vine quickly dashes toward me, but I move, lifting my hand toward one of her top witches. Using telekinesis, I pull the witch toward me, causing the vine to pi
Abbie's POV"We're close. I see it. They're right ahead!" Kaiden yells through our mind link as we continue to run. I looked up, and I could see the war unfolding. But my eyes widen as I hear Elora yelling, and a giant bird-like creature flies high up, holding Anthony in his claws, making my eyes widen in horror. "Hunter!" I yell, making him look up. I shift onto Merida, and Titus comes out, running at full speed. "Hurry, when I strike, you need to catch him, ok?" Titus says as my nerves go wild. Merida nods and runs at full speed. I see Matisa. She's strangled Elora with one hand using her magic, and she's holding Elena in the other hand. Elena's aura is weak; I can see it, which means she was probably poisoned. But my main concern is Anthony right now. I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, Auntie. "Don't worry, you go get Anthony. I will take care of this bitch." Emily says as she shifts onto her white wolf. My eyes widen as I see her. "She... she looks just like me. I thought... I was
Elora's POVWe ran through the dense forest until we finally reached where Matisa and her clan hid. I have gathered that Matisa came to a neighboring Pack near Hunter's pack just a few months after Abbie disappeared.She disguised herself as the Luna of their pack after she killed the real Luna. That's when all the kidnappings began to rise in numbers again. She didn't find an end to her insatiable desire to eat souls. And given her hatred toward our kind, she relished the thought of eating their souls. It was like killing two birds with one stone. She was filling her darkness and killing our kind as well. Santiago played a great part in all this. She had made a pact with different alphas for years, promising them power and sleeping with them. They fell deeply into her trap, and she ensured they were cast under her love spell. Whatever she commanded of them- they did. And that included kidnapping girls from all over. But when most of the alphas were taken down, thanks to Hunter an
AbbieI know we were on a tight, very tight schedule here. But I had to stop and tell Hunter the truth. The real plan that Elora, Elena, and I had worked out. He was pretty mad at first. We had acted so well that he and everyone believed it, too. But now that he knew, it all made sense to him. “If you ever keep me from something like this, I’ll make sure to punish you for it, Abigail. Which means after this, you’ll be punished, you understand? Punished!” he says as we walk out of the storage, all geared up with weapons and armed to the brink. “I know. Again, I’m sorry. I didn't mean to keep you out; it was Elora’s idea for us to sell it,” I said, making him angrier. He throws his belt filled with extra bullets in the back of the SUV with a loud thud, making me look at him with regret. “Elora? Elora? I'm your husband, Abbie! I mean… I will be… am… whatever! Just…don't keep things like this from me, ok? I love you, Abbie. I don't want to see you and my family hurt.” he says, wrapping
