BLUE MOON 49
*** I’ll never be able to understand how people function with little to no amount of sleep. I sleep a lot, I enjoy it. This is why on the days I can’t seem shut my mind off, I turn to the arms of sleep. I feel like a nightmare. I probably look like one too, so drag my body from the bed late in the morning straight into the shower. Hoping the hot jets of water will make me feel better. I purposely got out of bed late so I don’t have to be up and looking at the time every passing second before noon comes. I am not excited or happy or anything like that, this is something I have to do. I cannot shy away from it, I cannot hide from it. I’ve had days to come to terms with it, and accept that my reality will change when I hear what the Abbot has to say. And also, how I deal with it is up to me, learning and accepting that I do not just share physical characteristics with something right out of a myth, I am trying to accept that I just dont look like them, I am a silver one and it doesn’t

***I’m restless so I go for a walk.He’s not happy with me, I know he’s not.What I don’t know is why?I try to go over the last few days, He barely looks at me and when he does it is not the same, that smothering look of sheer hunger he usually gives me, which makes me feel hot and embarrassed and good at the same time, is missing. He doesn’t touch me every time he gets like it’s his goddess-given right, whenever I’m in his presence he would hold my hand or smooth down my hair, or put his hand over my shoulder drawing me in to feel the warmth of his body. Now, He’s just cold.Why am I even thinking about this right now? Shakin my head I try to dispel those thoughts to ones that are pressing.I try to consider, truly consider the Abbot's generous offer to take me in, it would be for my own good, he said, I’d be able to learn more about myself, away from prying eyes and mostly, I would not bring any dangerous attention on Dark woods. In as much as I try to tell myself to truly think

The day I understand the way Zayne’s mind works is that day the wolves grow wings and fly. I roll my eyes at the visual. I’m not even exaggerating this time. He walked me back to the lodge that night and even after our conversation I’m still just as confused, maybe even more so, his attitude towards the whole situation is so contradicting, relaxed, and accommodating one moment and then, brooding and glaring the next. I dont want to keep thinking about him and his hot and cold attitude. Do I care? Yes. Damn it, I can’t even convince myself otherwise. At first, I thought he wasn’t saying anything because he wanted someone to take me and my baggage off of his hands and I wouldn’t blame him, hell I wish someone would take this load off my hands. But now, after his words that night, in the calm level-headed tone, he delivered them. I might as well pick up a branch and start plucking off leaves asking the universe and guessing ‘he wants me, he wants me not’ who knows, that migh

I’m still leaning on the counter when Tate and Lily join us. She’s wearing a red turtle neck long-sleeved. jeans and hiking boots. Flashlight in hand. Looking all pumped up like she is about to go on an adventure. She just needs a hat and some rope to complete the look, I almost laugh, that is until I see the glare, she aims my way. “I am so pissed at you right now” Lily points the flashlight at me.“I’m sorry” is all I can say. And I am apologizing for a lot, but mostly for leaving her in the dark. “Tate told me everything, why didn’t you tell me?” she flips her ponytail over her shoulder, shooting me a glare, at least she waits until we are on our way there, having just left the compound before she lays it unto me. The guys are a few meters behind us well out of hearing range unless they’re using super wolf ears. I really hope that’s not the case. “We tell each other everything, don’t we? I even told you that time I kissed Kent under the kissing tree when we were twelve, do not

*** Lily is breathing a little hard by the time we get to the caves, it looks a bit different from the last time I was here. I suppose because it was… glowing? The walls had been shimmering with moonlight, similar to when you cast light against a water surface and it reflects against walls, tonight, the only light in the caves is from the flashlight Lily is pointing at the walls and a few dozen candles that have been placed around the cave so it is illuminated enough to see your way around. The Abbot and two female acolytes greet us at the entrance, bowing low at the waist and holding it for a few seconds before righting their posture. Lily elbows me in the rib, her jaw slacks as she looks from me to the acolytes, then back to me, I simply shrug my shoulders because I have no way of explaining that, I already asked them to stop doing that but the abbot said: you are our goddess in the physical form how can we not serve you? So, I let it rest. It felt like an argument I wou

I don’t know how much time has passed by the time I open my eyes, the abbot comes before me, my hands resting on my highs, the stone cupped loosely in my palms no longer glowing, he takes the stone now warm from my lax grip, a wide smile on his face like someone who just hit the jackpot. I look around, I’m still kneeling in the cave, the acolytes are standing at the same spot as before, but Lily had moved at some point, now standing at Tate’s side, her eyes, wide. I blink repeatedly to clear my mind, still feeling a little dazed like I just woke up abruptly from a long nap, “Did anything happen?” I murmured lowly, if it did, I must have missed it. Well damn it, this is beginning to become repetitive and I don’t like it. I'm really getting sick of strange lights either knocking me on my ass or zapping me of all the strength in my body, leaving a weird melting sensation. A little frustrated. I shake my head; I make to stand up but the muscles in my legs protest. “Shit” palms fl

Naya is standing just at the mouth of the cave, the abbot and his followers exit before us, then Lily and I follow, Noah and Tate behind us. I see her giving Tate a questioning look and he shakes his head. “It's done, we will return now,” he says instead. With my eyes, I scan the trees not seeing him anywhere Tate had said he was just outside Damn it. “Come child, I’m sure you have questions” with one hand extended, I fall in step beside the Abbot. We begin the long trek back to the pack territory two male acolytes in front of us, then the ladies before two other guards, I know Lily, Tate, and the others are not too far behind. “What was that we did with the stone? I didn’t feel anything, maybe a little dizzy but that’s about it” “The ritual can only be done once, it is sure evidence that you are indeed goddess touched, and it shows an indication of how powerful the one in question is, it has been done five times in our history” “Only five? I thought there’s being at lea

ZAYNE Tate fills me in on what I missed during the ritual when the faint scent of rot permeated the air, uncomfortable with its close proximity I circled around to dispatch the feral beings swiftly. Without shifting, it was slightly challenging to pinpoint the location, usually, I can sense trespassers with uncanny accuracy, but tonight, my instinct is already on alert, it would have been impossible to sense additional threats were it not for the rotten scent that clung to rogue wolves, as there were already strangers on my territory in white garb and white dyed hair, the same threats I’ve been tolerating for the past week. I’m going to take my time gutting them just for the mental stress alone, shouldn’t be long now… I fall in beside Tate, having already washed the blood off my hands in the lake I sniff my shirt one last time, the faint smell of rot and blood clings to me and will stay there until I shower it off. “That was fast,” he comments without turning to me, “How many

I wake up slowly. Heat swooping up my belly, lingering in my core as a hand smooths down my leg, over my calf to my ankle. Moisture pools in my center as the scent of my musk fills the room. I don’t know how I can still take any more after what went down last night. But I always want more with him. “Zayne…” I try to bring my left leg to my right to relieve some of the tension between my things but it doesn’t budge. Hm? My forehead wrinkles but I am distracted by a light nibbling on my big toe. His fingers trail over the bottom of my foot tickling me, as a light sleepy giggle escapes me, he spreads me even wider, I expect him to roll me over unto my back, throw my leg over his shoulder or settle himself between my thighs but something tightens around my ankle pulling taut. Once again, confusion rises. Then he leaves me completely, I pull on my leg, but it doesn’t budge, why can't I move my leg? Neither can my arms. "What the..?" “Zayne?” Am I tied up? “Why am I tied up?” is th
BLUE MOON EPILOGUE
I sit in Zayne’s chair once again, his computer screen in front of me displaying four other males. The large screen in front of me connected to the computer displays the same for the others to see.“And you are?” the voice is gruff. You’d think they’d know who I am with the number of hunters they’ve sent after me. I look at each of them, an older male, who looks to be around his late sixties in human age, sits at the top right screen. beside him is a light-haired male, younger. at the bottom left is a middle-aged male with a bald head and black eyes, and the last is a dark-haired male also young. As it has for nearly eight years now, the fifth council seat remains unoccupied. I fight a smirk pulling at my lip when I say “Alina, you probably know me as the Sliver one”Two of them gasped loudly, the bald-headed one remains quiet, not an ounce of expression on his face. I let that sit for a moment. I see them looking at my hair then my eyes, the technology, no matter how advanced mutes

The past week has been hard, even though we won, war takes its toll. In the end, we were all nursing broken bodies and an equally broken heart, and Zayne… I just miss him. A whole week has gone by and whenever I think about that night, I want to break down into tears, sometimes, I do cry. At the fight and what went down after. The girls come to visit me every day, and Oliver and the guys also swing by after training. Sometimes, Emma is also here, and we make food together. But at night, I get so lonely, the bed so empty without him. But I can't bare to sleep anywhere else. At least here, I’m covered in his scent.Right now, we gather in the meeting room, I try not to pace as I wait, the time counting down with each passing second, smoothing a hand over my leather jacket, I draw in a deep breath. I don’t know which has me more nervous. Finally talking to them or- almost immediately a short beep sounds and I hear the door push open. Every other thought forgotten I cover the distance

I'm still screaming like when I jump on Kieran’s back, my hands on his face, my claws stabbing into any vulnerable flesh, tearing at his jaw, but he doesn't feel any of it in his haze of bloodlust. He howls as I press my claws into his sockets with all my might taking away one of his senses. I keep digging until I’m sure his brain is licking down his eyes. fire stabs into my thighs, a fist tightens around my hair and I go flying over his head. I cough as pain spreads over every inch of my body. “Fucking bitch! Fuck Fuck!” his hands smacks at his face blindly in the air. Willing whatever strength is left in my battered body roll over unto my front, grimacing at the stabbing sensation in my chest I crawl over to where Zayne is laying still on the ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Kieran disappear into the forest. I pay him no mind, my attention on my fallen mate. My mate is down, the strongest male I’ve ever known, down and it was all my fault. Why can’t I ever do anyth
BLUE MOON 125
“Can we kill him now?” Zayne drawls, appearing from the trees, he always did love to make an entrance, “I despise pointless monologues” He looks at me, completely ignoring Kieran as though he was beneath his notice. Kieran Blackwell enjoys playing games, it doesn’t hurt to play a game of our own, from his little speech, he wants to be recognized, that’s why he created the serum, to feel powerful. What better revenge than to deprive him of that? “You’re so violent” I sighed oozing disappointment, though I fight the smile on my lips. As I expected, Kieran frowns, his lips turning down.Zayne shrugs his large shoulders like he couldn’t care less. “It has served me well” A short laugh escapes me, we already got the answer we wanted, Zayne said we had to find out if there was more of the serum laying around somewhere, not wanting to make the same mistake as last time. “True." In our world, sometimes, violence is always the answer. "Okay, he can die now. Turns out he wasn’t as impressi

“Where are they? Can you sense them like you do intruders?” I inquire mutedly after walking for a few minutes. The words barely leave my lips, if they are close I don’t want to give away our location. “No, there’s nothing, but they are here” his voice comes low, “Marc and Eli have been tracking them for about an hour now” Heart in my throat, we walk for twenty more minutes before I see Marc and Oliver where they have taken cover behind a large tree. Zayne makes a hand motion, Marc raises two fingers in reply. I move forward trying to get a sense of my surrounding. Eerie silence surrounds us, not even the wind blows, but I sense familiar pack members in the woods, where they’ve taken position. Zayne’s hand finds mine in the darkness, his fingers threading through mine, and I hear them a second later, boots shifting against the grass. They’re here. I will my heart to maintain a steady pace, holding my breath. I look to Zayne for the plan of action, only now remembering I was out
BLUE MOON 123
Growing up, sometimes we would hear of packs at war, to settle land disputes, fighting over an insult, an act of disrespect, or simply to gain more power or just for the hell of it. In order words, werewolves fight a lot, our species respects a show of strength more than anything. Sacred Heart was one of the little peaceful packs, preferring diplomacy over a show of force, it kept us safe for a time. Sometimes I wondered what would have happened had Sacred Heart been a more aggressive pack, would we have survived the massacre then, or was it always meant to happen? For the bigger picture to reveal itself? Learning about Kieran Blackwell tonight, I know this war didn’t start with Sacred Heart, it started a decade ago, when Councilor Blackwell thought to go against the creation of the moon goddess by trying to create superior species through science or magic? The details are unknown. Zayne's father, the previous Alpha of Dark Woods found out and was going to expose him, it led to bloo

“Moonless night?” My voice is rough from my tears.“Sane?” Zayne mummers.He sniffles “They’ve gone rogue, but they don’t know, the serum makes it so.”Zayne freezes beside me “What. Serum?” His voice comes out dangerous.The smile returns to Rafael’s lips making him look deranged with his bloody teeth “You know”“Lies! I destroyed every last bit of it, burned their lab to the ground after I killed him that serum is gone, I made sure if it.”It surly cannot be the same enhancement serum that brought Dark Woods to its knees, based to the way Zayne is reacting it likely is.“Who?” I whispered.“There’s no way he’s alive, don’t fucking lie to me”“I don’t know, I’m just telling you what I heard”“You most have heard wrong!” It’s a turn of events and I find myself holding Zayne back, I can only feel guilt and sadness from him, “Whatever he’s saying is the truth, or at least he must believe it” I turn to Rafeal “How did you come about this information?”He spat out blood, “My father calle

“What are you doing out of that bed?” Zayne hurries into the room, dumping the food tray on one side. My knees shake a little as I look around, trying to find my shoes, Zayne must have dressed me up in silk shorts and cami when I was out of it. I need to change, I can’t go out like this. “We have to question Rafael, he knows things”“So you said last night” he leads me back with a hand on my lower back. “Zayne, really-“An arm folds under my knees and he carries me the rest of the way “He’s not going anywhere I can assure you” he brings the comforter over my legs.“There’s no time to waste-“ “you can barely walk, if there’s something you need I’ll get it for you, just stay here” A tired sigh leaves me “I need answers, I think he was the one who sold us out, no I’m sure if it. He looked so guilty” guilty but determined, he was intent on seeing it till the end even as his eyes pled with me to understand.“And we will get answers, but not at the risk of you falling over, He smooths m
