Blood and Moon 49 Do Not Get It Twisted
Desiree I left the armoury immediately and returned to the packhouse. Everyone greeted me as I passed them. I came across Lola, and I smiled. Her face was riddled with shame, and she couldn't look at me. I thought she would have the audacity to call me names again, but she couldn't. So much for wanting to be luna; now she was nothing, just a pack member. She had scorn in her heart but, at the same time, knew she could not do anything about it. It was her mother and father I wanted to see. Her father had beaten me up when he had the opportunity, and her mother had threatened, insulted and slapped me. If I had to consider what they did, I should have her family exiled and left to fend for themselves in the ash world, but that would be petty, and I wasn't a petty person, so I just smiled and walked away. Everyone I passed respected me, and I couldn't believe how the tables had turned. I wished my mother was alive to see this. She would have been proud. As I walked, I remembered Rosaline
Blood and Moon 50 The Real Enemy
Adam I couldn't believe that the alarm sounded immediately after Desiree had told us we needed to prepare for an attack. Everyone was stunned, but there was no time to ask questions. Kyle and I ran out, and I linked all our warriors. I felt Desiree behind me, and a part of me wanted to tell her to hide, but then I remembered the massacre at the moon territory that happened during the last attack and kept quiet. My father followed too. He was strong and able, and he could fight. "I will only be able to lend you strength, Adam." Desiree said to me, "The bloods are not connected to me. Let the moons lead this battle. They are connected to me, and I can lend them strength," she instructed, and as reluctant as I was, I had to agree with her and do as she had instructed. We got outside, where everyone was gathered. The war was at the border, and they had gotten to the moon territories. Everyone shifted, and Desiree came to my side and spoke. "Moon will lead this fight. I cannot connect w
Blood and Moon 51 At All Cost
Adam After we finished checking the dead bodies for clues, Desiree and I returned to the packhouse, and my father stood in front of the entrance hall with the former council and other pack members and began to cheer and applaud. They were happy, but I knew my mate was unhappy because I could feel her pain. Everyone was overwhelmed with joy. No one lost their life, and they had a new admiration for Desiree and me. "I am proud of you, Adam. You chose well," my father said through the mind link, and I nodded at him. As much as I wanted to celebrate, I could not be insensitive toward Desiree's feelings. Even though we had won this battle, Ashria had lost a fight. Her duty was to save the lives of all werewolves. The fact that she could not save the lives of the wolves we had killed tonight was a great loss on her part, and I felt sorry for her. I wish I could comfort her when I have the chance to. I smiled at the people cheering and my father. Then I followed Desiree. "Where are you g
Blood and Moon 52 Limitations
Desiree Adam and I returned to our quarters after questioning the witches. The moment we entered the bedroom, I went straight to bed. Adam followed me. I was beginning to realise the magnitude of the task ahead, and I wondered why such a heavy burden would be laid on me. I was young. Adam and I were just starting our lives. How could we have pups when we had an ongoing war? To think I had saved up money to leave my country. I wouldn't have lasted out there. My mother did me a great service by allowing Rob to sign me up for work at the bloods packhouse. I honestly wish I was more understanding and kinder to her. I had a lot of things that I wish I could take back. With all the magic at my disposal, time was still my master because I couldn't manipulate it, and I was subject to it. Deep in my heart, I hoped my mother was with my father, and they had the happily ever after they were deprived of. As much as I wanted to hate Dean, he was only trying to survive. His actions are unforgivabl
Blood and Moon 53 Closet and Things
Desiree Realising my limitations hit me like a wall, and I became worried. Adam held me tight and whispered in my ear. "A step at a time, love. A step at a time," he whispered, trying to calm me down. I turned around and kissed him deeply because my panic metre was high; I needed him to calm down. He returned the kiss, knowing I needed it at that moment and squeezed me tighter. The kiss wasn't enough. I wanted more. So we looked around and opted to use one of the storage rooms in the hall. We snuck there, making sure no one was watching. The people were eating and answering questions, so no one paid attention to us as we slipped into a room. My skirt was mid-length, so I pulled it up, and Adam ripped my panties because he didn't have the patience to take them off. He unbuckled and lifted me. I wrapped my legs around him, and he buried himself inside me and began to pump. The truth was, we both needed it. By soothing the ache I felt, he also gave me peace and kept my troubles at ba
Blood and Moon 54 Envoy From Stadia
Desiree Dean had the same concerns as Adam, and I did. He excused us, and we went into the room. We found a handsome, brawny-looking young man about Adam's age waiting for us. The instant we entered, he stood up out of respect, and Adam nodded at him to sit. We sat on a chair opposite him. A table was between us. The man had been served juice, and he seemed to be savouring the refreshing taste. It was obvious he hadn't had good food in a while. "Who are you, and to what do we owe this visit?" Adam asked, and the man took a sip of his juice and smiled at Adam respectfully. "My name is Zacharia Ashbreed. I am the grand wizard and son of the high priestess of the Wind and Earth coven of Stadia," he said with pride, and we remained silent. "My sister Malina Ashbreed was sent to scout for good land so we could relocate. She found your place and sent word about the moon country being safe. My mother sent me to dialogue with your people to give us a part of your land to settle in. I did n
Blood and Moon 55 Meeting
Adam After meeting Zacharia Ashbreed, the egotistical bastard, I was exhausted. We had fought a great battle, and I was yet to address my council. I asked Desiree to go about her business while Kyle and I gathered everyone to speak. They were all occupied, but we needed to meet. Meanwhile, I ordered the release of the witches, and they were to be escorted out of the country. The former Beta was asked to oversee the task, which he was delighted to do. My father's council were not old, most of them were yet to turn fifty. It is just that it was a tradition that you hand over to your successor once your successor is twenty-one. Kyle and I headed towards the conference hall where the remaining council members were. We were four altogether. "I envy what you have with Desiree," Kyle said to me as we walked towards the conference hall. "Where did that come from?" I asked him, surprised, and he bowed his head. I could tell he was hurting, and I did not know my friend was going through so m
Blood and Moon 56 Shirtless and Ready
Desiree Adam entered our apartment shirtless. They had just brought dinner, so he was on time. I had opted to wait for him, and so did the food taster, Kalvin Wallberg, whom I had begged we no longer needed his service but insisted to continue tasting our food, had already eaten a fair share of the meal in the name of tasting. Tim couldn't stand the guy, and I couldn't blame him. He felt the guy had taken his job, but how could he when Tim had somehow become my assistant, a job that would have been Janets if she was loyal, but when the world was against me, it was Tim that stood by me, and I could never forget it. "Haven't eaten yet?" Adam asked me with a smile. He looked hot and sexy shirtless, and I wanted to have him for dinner instead, but my growling stomach was in disagreement, it wanted food, and food it shall have. Adam rushed through his meal, which indicated he wanted some alone time, so I had to rush through my food too and have them clear out. The moment they were gone,

Blood and Moon 84 What Next?
Desiree "You are a traitor, Micheal!" I said to the gamma, and he bowed his head in shame. "Your silence would have cost us our country and our peace. It would have caused war, and innocent people would have died. You do not have the right to bear your old title," I said, and he kept his head down. "This is my judgement," Adam said, and Lola and Lana looked at him with fear. They looked in my eyes, pleading with me to intervene. For some strange reason, they rather I judged them than Adam, and I was about to find out why. "The punishment for treason is beheading. Many moons were beheaded with the guillotine. It is only fair Lana and Lola are treated the same. As for Gamma Micheal, I will cast you out. You will be packless and Clanless," Adam said, and immediately the three of them began to beg. Donovan approached Adam and knelt to beg for his father. "Please, he is all I have left. Please," he pleaded, but Adam would not budge. Kristoff wanted them dead. I knew why. Their actions
Blood and Moon 83 Hearing
Desiree "You know why you are here?" I asked Lana loudly for all to hear, and she looked up at me with the most respect her proud ego could manage. "Because we disrespected you and called you a whore," she said, trying to make me look petty. I smiled at her and tried to speak, but Adam placed his palm on my hand to stop me. I looked and him, confused, and he smiled at me, so I relaxed and let him take over. "You have been punished for that already. You are here for two things. Lola, You are here to stand trial for poisoning my food with silver," He said, and everyone gasped, even me. I remembered the incident as if it were yesterday. I was vulnerable, and the conniving bitch had beat me and handed me to the enforcers. I would have died if Adam did not pull through. Adam had promised me to catch the culprit, but after a long time had passed and nothing happened, I thought he was not successful and had decided to let it go. I did not expect this. He was a man of his word. "Alpha,
Blood and Moon 82 After the Battle
Desiree. Adam held me in the shower and wept. "I am sorry, Desiree," he said. I knew Adam could remember what happened. I tried to ease his pain, but he was hard on himself. "I wanted to kill you and our baby," he accused himself, "I was hungry for blood and magic, and I couldn't control it," he said, and I held him. I pulled him out of the shower. Although he was Alpha, he was allowed to be vulnerable in my arms. So I dried his body and mine, led him to the bed and held him the best way I could while he wept. I knew I couldn't stop him from blaming himself, so I just held him. "You did what you had to do to save us, Adam. Don't blame yourself. Blame that witch, Maria, for trying to destroy our utopia." I told him, and he did not let up. "I wanted your blood, Desiree, and your magic," he argued, and I squeezed him tighter. "You have to let it go. I am here, and I am still pregnant. We needed Haimon at that moment, and you came through for us. Please let it go, Adam." I said, and
Blood and Moon 81 Strength of the bond
Desiree I felt the pull. Something was pulling at my life force and magic. It was taking the magic I had managed to store up. "What is happening?" I asked Ashria. "Kristoff is draining us. He is bloodthirsty now. We might have to kill him if we must survive this," Ashria said, struggling with the pull. "You are killing me, Adam!" I yelled at him, but he was fixated on me and advanced toward me. I saw a dark smoke circle Maria's firewall. "That is Haimon's magic. He is making sure she does not escape," Ashria tried to tell me, and Kristoff advanced toward us. "Please, Adam. I do not want to fight you!' I pleaded with him, but he wouldn't listen. He was drooling and growling. He did not care, he felt nothing, and I knew it because his mark burned. "I am your mate!" I told him. "We have no mate and no love but for blood and magic, and yours feels delicious!" he replied, and my eyes widened. I sent sun magic his way, and he dodged it. I was exhausted, but I had to fight to get away
Blood and Moon 80 Son Of Haimon
Adam The blood warriors aimed and fired at the witches. They got two out of three eventually. As soon as they got the last one and we thought it was only Maria that remained, a multitude of witches arrived, trying to get into our country, so Kyle and the others had to face them while I tried to figure out how to save my mate. I prayed to the moon goddess for help because I knew I would not have the will to fight if I lost my mate and unborn child. It would be too much of a loss to bear. I had never felt so useless in my life. They were up there, and I couldn't get to them. I had no magic to fight with. "Use one of the dead witch's blood," Kristoff said, making a strange suggestion, and I did not know what he was thinking, but I went for it. The witch I was attracted to was not dead but was on her way. The moment my wolf touched her, I felt her magic and blood drain into me, and I suddenly felt like I did when I pulled on Desiree's magic, only that this was my magic. I felt the life
Blood and Moon 79 Ingrates
AdamI felt magic coursing through my veins, but it was strange, it was dark, and it wasn't the same as the one I usually tapped from Desiree. Kyle and some warriors had armed themselves with weapons, and they did not shift. To my surprise, the weapons were working well without the sun. I should have listened to Desiree and my father and not let the witches in. even though some of them were fighting on our side, a majority of them were against us. This could have been avoided. Raymond had warned us, but we didn't listen. I was too busy to look into it. Mariah was nowhere to be found. Desiree had ripped Zach's head off and was killing the treacherous witches, but I couldn't help but fear the danger it would pose. Desiree was exhausted from powering those weapons. I knew she wouldn't last on this battlefield, and somehow I felt this was just the preliminaries. We were almost through killing all the treacherous witches, but deep down I knew this was just the beginning. I felt something d
Blood and Moon 78 Reality of the Vision
Desiree. I didn't want to do much that day either. Spending time with Adam was rare, lately. So I opted to power the weapons in the moon dungeon. It wasn't going to take time since I could power them at once. "So, where are we going?"Adam asked me, and I smiled. "I asked some wolves to hide unpowered weapons in the moon dungeon," I told him, and he frowned at me. "Why?" he asked. "So I could power them with mixed celestial magic. These weapons would work both day and night and would be powered by both the sun and moon. But they might not work during an eclipse or blood moon, but will function well if the sun or moon is covered by ash," I said quickly, and he smiled at me. "I guess you have been very busy, Luna," he said, and I nodded. I did not trust the witches, and I didn't want to be caught off guard. We hurried, and Adam waited for me outside the big room in the dungeon that I had turned into a storage. The weapons were small compared to the ones I powered initially. They wer
Blood and Moon 77 Moments
Desiree I waited for Adam to return, so I could tell him what I had learned. I wasn't comfortable letting them go because of the vision I had. I figured Adam would release the Greens eventually. He had humoured me for four days already, and I couldn't keep them locked up because they called me a whore, even though the consequences would have been worse for a moon when Dean was in charge. As much as I wanted to visit the same level of unkindness on them, I knew Adam's law did not allow it, but treason was something else. We just had to wait and see. Adam returned very tired in the night. He was yet to make the decree on every wolf training for battle, and he was yet to announce the pregnancy. He would be the first blood to be expecting a child in almost ten years. It was a huge blessing, and it gave hope. I found out that the king had deliberately isolated him for that purpose, and bloods had kept their children out of the ash for that purpose. The only reason we were lucky was that t
Blood and Moon 76 Discoveries
Desiree Joleen and her friends were very diligent at the task I had given them. Three days had passed since then, and I had been studying a lot, trying to master the magic mixing techniques. I wanted to use the mixed magic to power the stocked weapons, so I trained hard and studied hard. Most of the time, I would return to the apartment exhausted and fall asleep, never knowing when Adam was around. We tried to see each other in the morning, and he had begged me to consider freeing the Greens, but I refused. I wanted them in that cell for now. They needed to be tamed, something Alfred was unable to do. By now, the entire clan had known that they had been locked up, and their connections to the king could not help them. I wanted them to be scapegoats. While reading the books that describe Ashria's abilities and magic, I happened upon a shocking write-up. It was an old sheet of parchment. Someone had written something that scared me. "Ashria, the divine wolf of the moon and sun clan, i
