BASTIANI look around the large property as I wait at the front entrance of the Red Rock pack house.I don't want to be here, but for Sam, I'd crawl through hot lava to help her.I wait with my hands behind my back.The door opens. I smile. "Lucy. Is Luke here?"She crosses her arms and leans on the door. "Bastian. What brings you out of the castle on the hill?"I shake my head. "You and your brother are really the same person, I swear. Is he home?"She pushes off the frame. "Yeah, he is. Come in."She leads me into the common room. I'm always shocked at how small the pack house is considering the income for Red Rock is pretty substantial. You think they'd expand it more."Have a seat. I'll get him." She went upstairs.I'm leaning on my thighs, tapping my fingertips together as I wait. Luke comes down with Alexi and Lucy in tow."God. What now?" Luke shakes his head.I stand. "I swear. I come in peace." I throw my hands up."Bastian Cole showing up anywhere is never peaceful. What do

BASTIAN"Sammy? Please. Tell me what's going on?"I walk around to the front of her.The moonlight shines on her silky, disheveled hair. Her hands are black with the charcoal from the charcoal stick she's drawing with.As I look closer, bandage is torn and covered in blood. Her hands work overtime, drawing a picture.I crouch down and try to see her face. I'm afraid to touch her.Her eyes cast a pink glow on the floor as she growls low."Sammy. Please stop." I quietly beg her.She doesn't look up. She spins the pad around so it's right side up for me.I stare into the black of the picture. Into the red glowing eyes.She growls loud. She takes the stick and starts to draw circles around the eyes. It's fast and crazy. I almost get the feeling she's trying to tell me something.I swallow as I reach out. I grab her wrist. Instantly, I'm hit with a heat that almost makes my own skin burn.As I hold on, the heat is replaced with electric sparks. She's cooling down.She raises her head slowl

BASTIANSitting at my desk at the Unit, I seem to not be able to concentrate on anything else, but Sam.I've been avoiding the office, working from home for a few weeks now. I don't want to leave her just in case, but I have a massive amount of work I need to catch up on.I was just about to file some papers away when I got a knock on my door.It opens and two blonde Alphas walk in. I smirk. "Well, if it isn't the double mint twins." I lean back in my chair. "A little far from the recruitment center, aren't you boys?"Wes and Grey Andrews. Alpha Andrews twin boys. Beefy guys. Blondes with blue eyes. Always together. It's weird. I cringe at thought of what else they do together.Wes smirks at me. "Bastian. We thought you went AWOL.""Me? Never." I put my hands on my desk. "Just had some stuff to clean up at home."Grey folded his arms. "Yeah, we heard. You really think that fancy dance hall is going to land you the Head Alpha position?""Uh…It's a multimillion-dollar grand ballroom and

SAMMY The last episode I had was the most disturbing one ever. I don't even know what set it off. All I know is that after my hypnosis session with Dr. Rennet, I was feeling pretty good. I was just working in the ballroom when the beast wanted out. The pain was excruciating. I could feel it pushing and clawing its way to surface. I'm sure I would have lost if Bastian didn't show up when he did. It's weird, his connection to me. I can't say I hate it. It's just strange since we really aren't anything to each other. I won't lie and say, I'm not starting to have feelings, but he's my boss and I can't tell him how I feel. I need to get these feelings out before I lose what little control I have. I fill my paint tray and turn on my music. I'm painting and dancing as I listen to 'Cooler Than Me.' By Mike Posner. I wiggle my hips, as my brush glides around the canvas. This where I love to be. In front of my easel, listening to tunes and zoning out. Letting the paint come together the w

BASTIANAfter we got home, I said goodnight to Sammy at her door.It wasn't a typical date, but it was something I won't ever forget.I knew Sammy was special, I just didn't realize how much. To help her people, when her own Alpha was clueless to the problems, makes me feel like a complete dick.All these years, I've walked around society. Bragging about my perfect pack. My perfect life. I was so off base. Now that I know, I have to fix it. Just like I'm helping Sammy, I'll help my people, too. I can't allow my people to suffer while I build stupid ballrooms. Sammy taught me that tonight.I wish I could hold her right now, but I feel like we're not there yet. We've gotten closer as the weeks go on, but she still feels some distance away. I'm sure it's because she doesn't want to burden me with her problems, but what she doesn't get is that I want to be burdened. I want her problems. To see her carry this by herself, kills me. But I'll give her space if she wants it while still keeping

SAMMY"Good morning, everyone!" I chirp as I walk into the ballroom.Eric arches a brow from the table he's sitting at. "Someone's awake this morning.""I am and I'm feeling fantastic." I smile.Eric leans his head on his hand. "And why's that?""Oh, I don't know. It's a beautiful day. I'm finally getting proper sleep. It's just.... a good day." I set the binders I was carrying on the table beside Eric.Dylan, bringing my coffee to me, snickers. "Right, I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with where you spent last night."I scowl and take a cup from him. "No. It doesn't.""Sammy, where did you sleep last night?" Eric pries."The Alpha's room." Dylan says, smirking and folding his arms."Sammy." Eric says in a warning tone."What? It was a spur of the moment thing. It won't affect the job." I drink my cup.Eric drops his arm to the table. "We don't sleep with clients, Sammy. You know this."I drop my cup on the table. "I know. But he was there, the lighting, the moon, the muscles..

BASTIAN"Anton. Get Nigel, Dylan and anyone else. Sammy's gone.......I don't have time to explain...........I'm at the park..............Just get here." I hang up the phone.I can't believe what I just saw. Her face was pure evil. She wanted me dead. I can only assume that Sammy couldn't do it, so the wolf ran.The wolf. That was no wolf. It was at least half a size bigger than even the largest Alpha. Its fur was chocolate brown and had a purple sheen to it. Its head was massive. I've never seen a wolf that big. Her eyes glowed a deep pink. Her jaws drooled. She looked thirsty for blood. She was twisted. Crazed. She looked at me and snarled before running for the tree line.I didn't realize the scope of what I was getting myself into.Cars pull up behind mine and Dylan practically falls out of Nigel's truck. "Where is she?!"I hold my head. "I... I don't know.... She shifted and ran into the woods."He grabs me. "Wha...she shifted?!"I nod. "Dylan. She's massive. From the looks of her

SAMMYI've felt like I'm drifting away. Like I'm trapped in a never-ending nightmare. I'm done panicking. I've got nothing left. I'm starting to lose any hope of escaping my mind.After staring into the black for so long, I almost missed it. The pink lights return.The beast is showing me more. I squint my eyes to adjust to the brightness. Images come forward."This was once your kingdom. The home of the creator." The growling voice came through.I look at the destroyed, burnt-out homes. The twisted cars. The abandoned items of families."What happened here?" I crawl on my knees to get closer to the pictures projected through the wolfs eyes."A great battle. Destroyed your kingdom. Your people scattered to the wind." The growls sounded sad as it travels through the roads."Where are you taking me?" I look for anything that could tell me where I am."Your castle." It confirms."I don't have a castle. I'm an interior decorator!" I punch the floor."You are so much more than that. You'll

BASTIAN"There he is. The man of the hour." River smiled as he held his beer up to me.I bowed as I approached. "Thank you. Thank you."I clink my bottle to his."Congrats, man. I don't what the Unit is thinking putting your ass in charge, but I'm sure you won't burn the place down." Luke smirks."Thanks, Jackson. Coming from you, I'm sure that's a compliment." I smirk back.Jayson puts his hand on my shoulder. "This is quite the party. Looks like the whole pack's here.""Since our ball was canceled this year, it was the least I could do for my people. A Luna introduction is one of the biggest parties. I want them to love Sam as much as I do." I grin."Hey thanks for inviting us all." Wes and Grey approach our circle.I pull them in for bro hugs. "You all are as much my pack as anyone. Sam wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you guys.""Sam wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you." River pointed out. "You saved that girl's life. Who knows where she'd be right now.""Living the high life a

BASTIANMy head is still reeling from everything that's happened over the last few months.I sit at my desk at the Falcon Ridge Prison. Trying to work, but I desperately want to get home to Sam. I'm not finished celebrating my mate bond with her.I'm going through the prison reports that the now dead doctor left for me in my email. I delete them all, but I can't help but think there might be some merit to his idea. There may be some here who could use a rehabilitation program. I'll have to discuss it with the next Head Alpha.As far as it being me, I left that months ago. Sam and my pack were more important than any job promotion. When I do go for it again in the future, it'll be on my record. Not my popularity. Because I realize I was living a fantasy. A dream world I created that I only lived in. I was oblivious to the way I sounded and acted toward people.That man will never exist again. Now that I have Sam, I don't care about frivolous things. Money may buy a lot of things, but i

SAMMY"Look up." I turn my eyes up as the pack doctor shines a light in my eyes."Ok. Look at me." I look at the doctor and his light.He takes the light away. He smiles. "Well, young Luna. I really can't find anything wrong with you except your very exotic eye color."But, why? I don't understand." I ask him. He goes to his computer.He clears his throat. "The only thing we did find was this chemical in your bloodstream. It doesn't seem to be doing any harm. It's inert really. If what you told me is true, it's entirely possible that this chemical had a reaction to the blue light being reflected off the moon from the sun."I looked at him completely confused.He laughs. "The blue moon that we shifters see, is a special combination of light radiation given off by the sun in a certain position in the sky. When that light hit your body, it activated that chemical which caused a rather violent reaction. After, the chemical seems to have fused with your damaged Lycan gene. In short, it fix

BASTIAN I'm lying in the cot, healing, when my head explodes with Sam's blood curdling scream. I jolt up holding my head. "Sammy?" I try to mind link her. "Sammy!" Getting no response, I run to find River. I finally find him. He's been bitten in the side and bleeding. Jay's helping him to the medical tent. "Fuck. You, ok?" I look at the wound. He winces. "I will be." "Listen. Sam's in trouble. I have to go." I look at them both. "What? How do you know." Jay asks. "She screamed through the link. I have no time. I have to go now." I say. "I'll go with you." Jay says. We drop River off with the medics and shift. Running back to Black Rock. "Please be ok." I beg over and over. I look at the moon as I run. It's higher now. "I'm coming Sammy." I dig in and run as fast as I can. An hour later were entering the property. I shift and run for the house. "Why is it dark?" "Don't know." Jay skids to a stop. "Bastian." He points to the outside walls. I look at the wall of my house

SAMMY My fork dances around my plate. Pushing around the food that I barely touched. Wren looks at me. "Sam, eat something. You haven't eaten properly in days." "Why hasn't he called me?" I drop my fork and slump back in my chair. "I sent a message two days ago." "I don't know, maybe because he's preparing for war? Come on, Sam. He'll be ok. He's trained for years. He's fought over a dozen major missions and hundreds of minor ones. Bastian knows what he's doing." She puts some food in her mouth. "I know. It's just.... the more he's away the more it hurts. I know he's coming back, but my chest feels like it's in a vice. I feel like I'm going to be sick." I whine. Wren smiles. "You're in love. You miss him." I lean on the table. "I do, but this feels a hundred times worse for some reason. I'm not a clingy person, but I need him here now or I'll lose my mind." She looks at me funny. "What?" I ask. "Sam what do know about the Blue Moon?" She leans on the table to me. "Nothing. J

SAMMYI pace the floor. I'm sick with worry. I'm supposed to be concentrating on other things, but not seeing Bastian for the last three days, has my stomach twisted in knots."Sammy, please. We need to continue."I glance at Wren. Bastian sent her to me two days ago to see if she can assess my wolf. Plus, she's a trained fighter so she's like my personal bodyguard right now."Wren, I can't train. It's been so long. I need to know what's going on." I shake my hand as I pace.She walks over and stops me. Her big, blue eyes stare at me. "I get that you're scared. But, Sam, Bastian wanted you to train. You should train. Ok? Come on." She waves me into the middle of the training room."Now, relax." She shakes herself out.I copy her. I blow out a breath.She puts up a finger. "Remember. Call the wind, but don't shift. Ok? Concentrate."I close my eyes and call the wind. It blows a little gust then dies. I flop my arms at my side. "I can't do it.""Sammy, you can do this. Just try." Wren s

SAMMYI hit the floor with a thud. My face throbs. My head pounds."I told you. You can't win, child. I'm too strong." The beast cackles.I pick myself up. Wiping the blood from my mouth. I'm tired, but I'm not giving up."You won't get control. Not again." I spit blood on the floor."Look at yourself." The beast walks around me. "Pathetic! Weak! Not one ounce of strength in you. You're too much of a coward to take what's yours. That's why I exist. Someone has to take the path destined for us. That will be me." She lands another punch to my head, sending me flying across the void, bouncing off a wall and crashing to the floor."I'll fight you." I struggle as I get to my hands and knees. "I'll kill you." I fight the white-hot pain in my head."Child, you couldn't harm a fly and the way I see it, you're as good as dead now." She walks over and delivers a kick to my chest.I roll on the floor, whining holding my ribs."I can't believe the creator chose to pair me with the garbage that la

I blink to adjust to the morning light.I stretch a bit to wake up and instantly I hear, "Don't move a muscle."My eye search for the angel that said those words.I smirk. "What are you doing?"Sam has pulled a chair close to the bed. She's curled up in it, wearing my shirt loosely, with a sketchpad and pencil."I'm drawing." She smiles."I see that. Why can't I move?" I ask."Because you'll ruin it." She glances at me.I watch the end of her pencil twirl as the tip glides over the pad. "You're drawing me while I sleep?""Yes." She barely makes eye contact."Why?" I question."It's what muses are for. So, we can draw you while you sleep." She smirks."I'm your muse?"She nods, biting her lower lip."We'll that's a first." I chuckle."Don't move." She scolds.

SAMMY "I need a hot shower and a 10-ounce steak." Bastian says, after we enter the pack house. I giggle as he leans on me, holding his broken arm to his chest. "What you need, Alpha..." I stop and remove his arm. "...is to get that arm set." He looks down. "I guess that's a good idea." He rubs the back of his head, smiling. Anton and Nigel walk in behind us. "I'll call the pack house doctor." Nigel claps his back. I smile and turn to go upstairs. He reaches out and pulls me to him. "Where do you think you're going?" He smirks I look over my shoulder. "My room?" He shakes his head. "I don't think so." He places his forehead to mine. Threading his fingers into my hair. "You're not leaving my sight ever again." "Oh? Why's that?" I smile. "You, my beautiful angel, are never leaving my side." He kisses me. "At this point, I may never allow you to leave my bed." "Am I a prisoner, Alpha?" I smirk. He shakes his head on my forehead. "No, but no one will ever take you from me agai
