Blood and Moon 64 Current Events
Desiree While the witches examined the weapons, my chest swelled up with pride. I wished the downsides were not true. I returned to my apartment and found Tim waiting for me there. He surprised me, and I was in shock, and then I frowned. "Why are you here?" I asked him, and he was worried. Whatever brought him to my room was serious. On the table were seven dusty books. I looked at them and frowned, and he looked at me. "I had to bring them here, Luna," he said with so much fear. "They are prophecy books and manuals, and we cannot let them fall into the wrong hands," he said with worry. Tim was a true friend so whatever he meant was for my good. "What is the matter, Tim?" I asked him and calmly sat on the chair. He brought the books to where I was sitting. "This book talks about Ashria's limitations," he said. " You won't be able to shift or wield magic during a blood moon," he said, and I thought of the irony because Adam had named our pack, blood moon, my only weakness. "What
Blood and Moon 65 A bid for Friendship
Desiree Adam returned to the apartment late in the night, and he was too tired to talk, so I let him be. Integrating the witches and trying to organise the new pack was taking a toll on both of us. I wanted to discuss Tim's findings with him, but I decided to let matters rest for the meantime. The morning wasn't far, and I intended to tell him then. He held me close, and soon I drifted off to sleep. I woke up, and Adam wasn't in the room. He must have snuck out early in the morning and did not want to wake me up, which was understandable. I was very tired, and he must have sensed it before we went to bed. I got ready for the day and looked for a private place to hide the books Tim brought me. People rarely read, so I doubted if anyone would be browsing through the books. The best way to hide them was in plain sight, along with the novels I had been reading on my shelf. If I put them somewhere special, someone would know that they contained something important to me. I knew why Tim d
Blood and Moon 66 The Strike
Desiree Lunch came exactly at the time it should, and Tim brought the tea in a flask. I waited for him to bring Sabrina before we ate. "Thank you for having me, Luna," she said smiling, and I smiled back at her. I took the flask and a teacup and served her the tea. Her smile dropped, realising what I was doing, and I smiled at her. "You do not expect me to drink this without knowing it is completely safe," I said and handed her the teacup, " Bottoms-up," I said, and she took the tea from me with a shaky hand and gulped it down in one goal. We waited for forty-five minutes, and nothing happened, so Tim offered to go next, but he was too valuable to lose, so I sent for one of the blood enforcers at my door to taste the tea. He claimed to feel incredible after thirty minutes, and I realised the tea was not wolfsbane or poisonous. The food was cold already, but I intended to warm it up with sun magic, so it meant nothing. I drank the tea, and so did Tim. I felt amazing after thirty mi
Blood and Moon 67 A Demarcation
Desiree Dean was lying on the floor covered in blood, and Adam was checking on him. "He is still alive," Ashria said, and I spoke up. "Take him to the clinic and have a moon doctor attend to him. He is still alive." I said, and Adam looked at me with murder in his eyes. He got up and walked past me and went straight for Margret. "He said he was sorry! Did you have to do this!" he yelled at her and began to shake her. Some medical practitioners came into the room, and they were all bloods. "Don't touch him!" I yelled at them, "I want Moon doctors now!" I said. "Attend to him!" Adam yelled, undermining my authority for the first time, and they went in. I saw some of them smile. "You can't trust them, Adam. Tim.." I said, and he cut me mid-sentence. "Silence!" He said and turned to Margret and continued to shake her. She just shook her head in total shock. "Adam, stop it! can't you see she is in shock?" I asked him, but he didn't listen to me. He slapped her a couple of times and
Blood and Moon 68 I am Sorry
Adam I sat in the clinic nervous. What had I done? I had said too many things I couldn't take back. The moon doctor was doing all he could to save my father's life. I watched as beads of sweat covered his forehead, Desiree must have told him all their lives depended on it. I did not mean it that way. I honestly didn't. I was just afraid that I would lose the only parent I had, and Margret did not have such a good record either. I only had issues with her, not the Moons, but Desiree had taken it personally, and now I did not know how I would take it all back. "He has some silver in his system." The doctor linked me not wanting to say it out. Desiree must have told him to do that too. I quickly linked Kyle to check every drinkable and edible in my father's room. I wanted them tested for silver. "Do you think he would get well?"I asked the doctor, and he paused to answer. "Once the silver is out, he will be able to heal himself. We have to give it time. Meantime. I will need to trans
Blood and Moon 69 Considerations
Desiree I could feel Adam's fear and Desperation. He remained on his knees and held me. I could not believe he would belittle himself like this, but the way he had reacted scared me. All I could see was Rob and my mother again. I couldn't process it. Adam was so angry that he wasn't listening to me. What if something worse happens? If I could not stop him immediately then, I did not want to think of the damage he would cause the next time. Staying with him will be dangerous, but then again, this was the first time. Something I knew was that there was always a first. He might not have touched me or laid a finger on me. He did not seem like he could ever do that to me, but the fact that he could do it to another woman troubled me. I did not expect Adam to have his father's tendencies. Remembering his father, I quickly spoke. "You shouldn't have left your father alone. The moons won't be responsible..." He didn't let me finish my sentence when he replied quickly. "Kyle is with him, and
Blood and Moon 70 Scorn
Adam I rushed back to the house clinic to relieve Kyle of the work. He stood on guard, and I noticed two moon nurses had joined the doctor, but they were not wearing their uniforms. "Why are you dressed in mufti?" I asked one of them, and she was a bit nervous. Unlike Blood women, Moon women looked very delicate and tender, and I believed that was what added to their beauty. She looked harmless that I had to soften my stare so she would not be afraid of responding. "Luna Desiree asked us to pack our belongings," she said, and I knew it. I couldn't believe that Desiree was going to go through with it. It really shook me. "Did you guys fight?" Kyle linked me, picking up on the conversation with the nurse. "Sort of," I replied. "Let me guess, you were in the wrong?" He asked, and I looked at him and wondered why he would guess like that without hearing the story. "To be honest with you, Desiree is sweet. If anyone did anything to rock your boat, it would be you, Adam. I am just say
Blood and Moon 71 Culprits
Adam "What was that about?" Kyle asked as soon as Alfred left with his bitch mate. I looked and saw that the moon medical staff were uneasy. "Focus!" I told them, and they quickly looked away and concentrated on whatever they were doing. "That woman has some nerve. Where did she think was? Who did she think she was?" Kyle said. "I see where Lola gets everything from. She is a replica of her mother," I said, and Kyle laughed. "Alfred Green did a great disservice to himself and his bloodline by mating with that woman. To think you would have been stuck with something like that," Kyle said, and I shook my head. "I had rejected their daughter even before Desiree came along. My father tried to force it, but I refused to let him. Worse case, I would have left this country." I told Kyle, and we were silent for a bit. Then he linked me. "After what just happened, I believe Bloods are working against us. I will help fish them out, Adam. I promise," As soon as he made that promise, my f

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
