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
Wolves of The Dark Moon SeriesBook 1- Alpha Rick (chapters 1- 81)Book 2- Alpha Black and His Luna (chapter 82 onward)Book 3- The Beta’s Obsession (coming soon)OliviaThe pain. It's too much. I had been beaten all day, spat on, and kicked; my hair had been pulled, and I had lost count of how many times they had pushed me to the floor. I should be used to it by now, right? I mean this is my life every day. I've been treated like this since I could remember, and it's as if they get a thrill seeing me getting beaten. It's a show to their amusement.Someone thought it would be funny to dump their hot coffee on me as I walked by with a tray of food back to the kitchen as I continued to clear the table, and another threw their leftover hash brown in my face because they said their coffee wasn't strong enough, and the hash brown tasted old. "Just keep walking, Livs. Just keep walking." I say under my breath. It was the only thing I could do because if I so even tried to retaliate, or defe
OliviaI finished preparing for lunch, then cleaned up the mess, and soon I was left doing more and more errands for other pack members. I sigh as I wipe the sweat off my forehead. I glance at the clock and realize it was really late. If I didn't finish now, the rest of the omegas would begin to come in to prepare for dinner. We also needed to begin preparations for the meeting that the alpha has with other packs coming tomorrow morning.I glance at the floor as I stick the dirty rag back in my bucket. I had kitchen duty all week, and after everyone finished eating, I was the one responsible for cleaning the whole kitchen on my own, since the head omega doesn't like me. She has perfectly stated that the kitchen floors needed to be hand-cleaned and left spotless after every meal. If she even saw a speck, I'd have to redo it all over again.The visiting pack, the Primords, and the Dark Moon Pack are said to be one of the biggest and most powerful in our nation. They are very secretive, n
LivieI gulped down my pride and began to clean up quickly, wiping away my tears. Sniffling, I cleaned the towels and began to clean the floors again. It was so late. I'm going to be in so much trouble. I hurried to put things away and was about to run out of the kitchen to change when the lead omega came in, making me bump into her. She hates it when I cook in dirty clothes. "Hey, watch it," she yells, making me startled. "I- I am so sorry," I say, apologizing for the billionth time today. She rolls her eyes as she fixes her shirt. "You look disgusting. Why haven't you changed? The Primord pack just notified us that they are two hours away. They will be here soon, which means they will be joining us for dinner. We need to get things ready. Hurry up and change, come back, and start prepping for dessert while the others start dinner. And try to look a little presentable, will you? The alpha wants you to be one of the servants; I need you to look a little… decent...if that's even possi
SkylarMy heart still raced at a million per second from the moment I walked away from Livie's house. Livie was sure as hell the most beautiful girl I had ever met. Much more beautiful than Leah if I'm being honest. But she's nothing but an omega.I could never be seen with someone so weak, it would ruin my reputation. Just looking at her for the past few months gets me hyped up. My wolf, Mason keeps pestering me to claim her. But I can't. I won't.For one, she's still underage, well, that is until today because she just turned eighteen. But mostly, because I cannot have a weak Luna. I need someone who can help me strengthen this pack, not weaken it. I won't deny that I'm extremely attracted to Olivia, and I want her so badly. I was close to claiming her back there in her house, but I will not go against my priorities.I stormed into the pack house on my way to my dad's office. I needed to talk to him and Mom about Leah and me. I know I promised Leah we'd get hitched, but I need to sor
OliviaI wiped the twentieth pair of shoes, placing them back inside their place, and then quickly began to go through Leah's closet. I knew she was going to wear a glamorous dress tomorrow for the ceremony. She had been looking forward to it since a month ago and had a dress especially done for the evening when they would announce her as the pack's Luna. Her dress hung on a hook next to a full-size mirror inside a black bag made of cloth. I couldn't help but envy her. If destiny had been a bit different, and my parents were still alive, maybe that dress would be mine. I would be the new Luna and would become Skylar's new mate. Just as our goddess had intended things to be, but only fate knew why things had ended the way they did. Curiosity got the best of me. I began to unzip the bag, admiring the shimmer of her skin-tight black dress she was going to wear tomorrow. I imagined how it would fit me, as I took it out of the bag and placed it over my body to see it in the mirror. "It w
Livie"Why are you letting them take you there again? Liv, do something. Tell them it wasn't us." Freya yelled in my head as I filled with anger. Gunther pulled me by my arm, making me stumble. But he jolted me up, keeping me from falling on my face. I could only hear the laughter of onlookers as we made our way down to the dungeons.How could they believe her? I haven't done anything. I have never stolen anything... Well... Besides bread, that's only when I couldn't take the hunger I felt anymore. How much more mistreatment or torture can they possibly do to me? I mean I'm about to leave this damn pack thanks to Skylar. Why are they so bound to hurt me? Do they really hate me this much? "Freya shut it. You'll only make things worse." I linked back to my wolf as I struggled to get down the dungeon's steps. Beta Gunther nodded to a guard, making him open one of the doors, and then tossed me inside the cell. The same cell I had long learned to loathe. This place had a thick stench of r
Third Person POVLivie is dragged out of the dungeon by a guard and Gunther, followed by Skylar and his dad, alpha Noah Morrison. Her body is filled with bruises, blood, and evidently a few broken bones. Though Skylar can care less about what has happened to her, he is pissed off. She is supposed to leave tomorrow morning as one of the peace offerings to the Dark Moon. If things don't work out accordingly, he and his dad will not be able to talk the Dark Moon alpha into protecting them. He's never been scared of a fight, but he knows he will not be able to fight off another intrusion by the rogue king. He's already killed half of the pack. They are vulnerable, and another attack may extinguish whatever is left of the group. "Why the hell didn't you listen to me and leave it for me to handle? We have visiting packs, why the hell would you make a damn scene like this?" Skylar glared at Leah as she walked to the opposite side of them. She was obviously coming back from having a nice ic

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
