BASTIAN

I pace back and forth in the common room of the pack house.

"Bastian, we need more manpower. We can't go in there without help." Nigel was sitting in an arm chair with Luke, River, Jayson and the rest of the Alliance Alphas on various couches.

I stop and rub my head. "We can't. The Alliance will tear her to shreds. Especially if that thing fights back. I need this to be an extraction mission. If we can get to her and pull her out, I can touch her and fix it."

Jayson leans on his knees. "Ok. We set up two teams. One from the north and one from the east. We keep mind links open at all times. We'll send in the flyers first to get Intel and form a plan once we know what we're up against. Scouts can escort them. We'll have two trackers per team. Luke. You and Wren will be team one. I'll call Shane and Hayden. They'll track for team 2."

River sat up. "I'll set up satellite imagery so we know movements. Anna can take Alexi and be the first wave in. They're both light on their feet an

    SAMMYThe days drag on. I pace around, pounding on the walls of black, every once in a while, to let the beast know I'm still here.She turned off the pink vision, so I've been left in the dark. I have no idea what she's doing out there.I think she might be mad that I was able to reach Bastian. I didn't think I could. I tried with all my might to at least let him know that I'm still me inside here.When I got the link open, I couldn't believe it. I sent him everything I've seen so far to try and let him know where I am. I just hope I was clear enough.When I saw him standing on the other side of the void, I thought I was dreaming. I was so happy, but a barrier erected between us.The beast found out. She threw me deeper into my mind and locked me away. I've been here ever since.I've tried to contact Bastian a few more times, but it's like my head wants to explode. She's blocking me hard.I don't know how long I've been in lockdown. It feels like days. If not weeks.I lay on my stoma

    BASTIAN"Where is she, Jay?" I whisper as I throw on a t-shirt. I had Anton and Nigel bring packs with clothes in them for everyone.We're crouched in an empty, overgrown lot just outside the city waiting for Sarah and the two scouts to get back. They've been gone now for almost two hours and there's no sign."I don't know." Jayson's fist opens and closes as he scans the city lines. Looking for any sign that his mate is back. "It shouldn't take this long." He's getting worried. I feel the same. “She’s not answering my link.”River turns to me. "Maybe we should go look for them."A twig snap behind us. We spin around."Relax. It's just us." Dylan, Wes and Grey come crouched out of the brush."Did you bring them?" I crawl over to Dylan. He drops a bag."Yeah, but I don't know if they'll work. Remember, she's immune." He unzips the bag and opens it.I look in and can feel the resistance under my skin. My wolf growls and flashes his eyes. I push him down. Putting on a glove, I pull out tw

    SAMMY"No." I whine weakly as I look into the pink vision of the beasts' eyes.Still restrained, I desperately pull on the chains."What are the codes!" The beast yells. She hits Bastian again whose face is covered in cuts from her claws.I sob on the floor "Stop it! Please!" I scream, begging the beast to stop her torture. I suck in a breath. "BASTIAN...." My forehead hits the floor.The beast grabs his chin. He's tired. He's covered in blood.She shakes his head. "What are the codes?"He's breathing heavy. Fighting consciousness. "Fuck.......you...." He mumbles.She punches his face again with a loud angry growl. She walks away.She spins. "You realize I could kill her right?"His head hanging off his shoulders. "No...." His head shakes slowly."Oh, yes." She takes big steps to him. "I can have her completely wiped from my mind. Erase her from existence. You'd never see her again.""You...can't...." He forces out.She grabs his hair and places her face close to his. "I can. Bastian.

    BASTIAN I pace around the cell. It's been almost two days, I think, since I've seen anything of Sammy. I'm going out of my mind. "Bastian, stop pacing. Between you and Jay, I don't know who's agitating me more." Luke scrubs his hair with his hands. Jayson scowls. "Easy for you to say, dick. You're mates right there." He points to Alexi. "Why hasn't she come back?" I motion to the bars. "Maybe she's compromised." Anna crosses her arms. River stands beside her. "It's time we make a plan here." Wes and Grey stand. "If she's compromised, we need to put her down. She sends that army on us, we're as good as dead." Grey says. I snarl my lips and rush him. Grabbing his shirt collar. "You fucking touch her, I'll tear you to shreds!" I growl my deepest growl. "Hey!" Luke grabs my arm and rips it from Grey. "We really don't need an Alpha showdown right now, ok. We won't kill her. Just relax." "Better not." I bore holes into Grey as I clench my jaw. Dylan joins the circle. "Ok. So, what

    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

    BASTIANGardenias. God, I love waking up to that smell.I'm lying on my stomach with my arms tucked under my pillow. I crack an eyelid. 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. "It's a first for me too. I've never had anyone I've been so inspired to create before. When I

    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

    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

    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
