The day I met the new Luna was a strange one. I had found out who my mate was and I wasn't happy. I had seen him on the way to work, but I ignored him. The problem with trying to ignore him was that he is a coworker of mine. When Valerian rushed into the emergency room calling for me I ran there as quickly as I could. I had seen my mate walking towards me and I internally panicked for a moment. My wolf whimpered in our shared mind because he wanted his mate, but at the same time he knew what our mate had done to me. I was quick to get into my work and was happy to be able to spend most of my time working on the Luna. I was horrified by the amount of abuse she must have gone through and I wondered how long she suffered for.
There were so many scars and what looked like years of sexual abuse as well. I knew she had to be young, but I was surprised that she was pregnant. We did the surgeries she required and I was glad to see her making progress. When she loo
I woke up engulfed in Armand's scent. The pain I had felt seemed to be almost gone. When I tried to move an arm tightened around me and I smiled. I knew it was Armand since his scent was the only other one in the room. I rolled so that I was facing him and felt him move."Good morning, Love"He murmured out groggily. I stretched before moving to place my head on his chest."Sorry if I woke you up"I said softly after I got comfortable. His arm rewound around my side and waist so he could hold me tight against him. I felt his lips press against my forehead before he spoke again."It'sall right, Love, how are you feeling?"He asked me softly. I inhaled his scent and nuzzled my face against his chest before answering his question
I heard the pack members that were fighting, but I was surprised that Artemis heard the door slamming. It had come from two floors down so I thought it was faint. It only registered to me that she heard it when she jumped and the coffee went flying. When Doc was here to help treat her burns he explained that it was probably due to the trauma she had experienced. He gave me a burn ointment and told me she would be fine by tomorrow since the burns were superficial. I was still concerned for her because she seemed to be zoned out the whole time. Arya was explaining to Tafari and I that she was waiting for Alpha Nate to show up and beat her. To say I was shocked was an understatement. "Artemis, Love, no one will hurt you here" I tried to console her as I placed my hand on her cheek. She didn't respond to what I was telling her. I let out an inward growl as my anger towards Alpha Nate returned. I w
I wasn't shocked when Valerian told the room he was the next king to the fox shifters. I had seen as much in the hospital room. I was heartbroken that he lost his family, but was glad that he was still alive. I had seen what he had been through in his life and it was mostly good so far, but there were some dark things. "I wonder what your high school bully would say to that?" I mused out loud. Everyone turned their attention towards me with arched eyebrows. I smiled at them before Valerian spoke up. "So you saw that too, huh?" He asked after a few moments of silence. I nodded at him before deciding to elaborate with my voice. "I saw all of your past. I am so sorry you lost your fox shifter parents, but t
SEXUAL CONTENT AHEADI was shocked that Artemis told me we could mate. I didn't want to hurt her so I made sure she really wanted it. I smiled when she gasped and moaned as I kissed her neck. I could smell her arousal at my kisses once I kissed the spot to mark her at. She moaned louder and I smiled against her skin. My hands trailed down her sides as I suckled on the marking spot. She continued to moan and I continued to suck on it. My hands slid under her shirt and gently massaged her round, perky breasts. I loved the feel of her soft skin against my hands.She moaned as I massaged her breasts while sucking on the marking spot. I continued what I was doing for a few moments longer before sliding one hand down her stomach slowly. I slipped my hand into the waistband of her sweatpants and into the panties she somehow had on. She had stopped bleeding hours ago so I wasn't worrie
I woke to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shinning in my face. I rolled over and blinked before smiling. Armand was still laying next to me with messy hair. He wore a smile on his lips in his sleep and the light shone around him like a halo. ~"He is so beautiful"~ Arya said in our shared mind. I agreed with her inwardly and smiled again outwardly. I lifted my arm and gently ran my hand down his cheek. His eyes blinked open and locked onto mine. He smiled sleepily at me as he placed a kiss upon my hand. "Good morning, Love, How do you feel?" He asked me after he yawned. I smiled and scooted a little closer to him. "I feel good" I told him honestly. I thought I would be in pain like when Alpha had done what he did before, but I wasn't. My body wasn't in any pain, but instead felt like I was in bliss. I had never been happier than I was right now. I wanted to wake up like this every morning because it was peaceful. Armand smiled at me again and caressed my cheek with his ha
The weeks seemed to pass by quickly and before I knew it we were sitting in Doc's office with Valerian and Jax. Valerian had a very obvious baby bump. Doc had done a check up and was pleased with the twins progress. Valerian was just hitting the 2 month mark and they were finding out the genders today. Doc sat us in the chairs in front of his desk. "Your pups are growing wonderfully. You could have them in the next few weeks to month and a half" He said as he took his chair across from us. I had a surprise for Armand and Valerian had agreed to let me do it during this appointment. I was nervous that Armand wouldn't like the surprise, but I was pretty sure that he would. Armand had me sitting in his lap with his arms wrapped around me. I wore a smile on my face as Doc continued to speak. "Before I tell you all the genders I need to tell you something else" Doc said in a serious voice causing Armand and Jax to be on alert. I bit my lower lip so I wouldn't giggle and looked over at V
I hated to leave Artemis, but I needed to protect the pack. As I was fighting the leader of the rouges that attacked us I got a mind-link that the pack house had been attacked. I tore the throat of the leader out and ended the fight.-"Alpha, The Luna and Second Beta male are gone"-My head warrior at the house stated. He sounded groggy like he had been drugged. I was still in wolf form and raced back to the house. I let out a howl when I couldn't find Artemis there. Jax was cleaning up the bodies from the fight so we didn't scare the humans. I had to break the news to him.-"Jax, Valerian was taken with Artemis. I think he was injured"-I mind-linked to him. I heard his pained howl and waited for him to arrive. I shifted to my human form and slipped into a pair of bas
As we made our way back to our coven I thought about how we had pulled that off. Nate had been right to distract the wolves with a rouge attack. I didn't care about those filthy mutts that died. They were a means to end for me and I was glad I didn't have to pick them up. I wasn't going to take the pregnant male, but he smelled like the wolf that had gotten away from us years ago. There was also the fact that he attacked us when we tried to snag our target. I knew I was going to have fun torturing these two. I called Nate after I had them both in the cells. "Hello?" His gruff voice answered after the second ring. I sat on my desk and smiled as I twirled a stand of hair around my pointer finger. "Hello hot stuff" I said in a seductive voice. I loved the way Nate knew how to rock my body and was excited to get my payment for this kidnapping. I heard him groan before he answered me. "What do you want?" He asked firmly. I smiled wider and let a purr slip past my lips as I spoke. "
After dinner we cleaned up and all went to the living room to watch a movie. I smiled as I snuggled against Armand’s side on the couch. We picked out some Disney movie to watch, but I wasn’t paying attention to it. My thoughts had slipped to the darkest part of my mind where the memories of last year lay dormant. I tried to suppress the vivid images that would plague my mind. I tensed for a moment when I felt movement on my arm before I relaxed remembering it was just my mate. “Are you alright love?”He asked softly as our eyes met. I forced a smile and nodded. He frowned before pulling me even closer. “Love, I know you’re not. I will not force you to talk about it; however, please don’t tell me you are alright when it’s written in your eyes and on your face that you aren’t”He stated before placing a soft kiss to my forehead. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest thankful he didn’t force me to talk about it. I smiled as he rested his head on top of mine thankful he was
Valerian and I had been planning on how to tell Jax for a few hours now. By the time our plan was set it was already 4pm. We quickly got the items together so we would be ready by dinner time. I had asked Armand to invite Jax to dinner here. He was happy to do so.“This is gonna be so great!”I said with a huge smile as we put the last baby item into the box and closed it. Valerian yawned softly as I began to wrap the gift. He smiled at me as I put a nice gold bow on the top. “Do you think he’s going to be excited?”He asked as we headed downstairs to begin making dinner. I nodded as we took the steps slowly so neither of us tripped. “I think he is going to be thrilled!”I said with excitement in my voice. Soon enough we entered the kitchen. Valerian sat on a barstool by the counter while I got out the ingredients. We were making one of Jax’s favorite foods. “I’m scared though”Valerian said as I mixed smashed up avocados with some salt and pepper in a bowl. “I know, after everyth
Hi lovelies,First and foremost I wanted to apologize. It’s been so long since I updated any stories and for that I’m terribly sorry. My personal life was flipped upside down and not in a good way. I’m slowly working on new chapters, but my personal life and health are still not where they need to be. I also went through a long time of writers block on where to go with the story; however, I know which way the story is headed. For those that continue to read my stories, I am thankful. You all are amazing. ~Ari~
I looked next to Valerian where Jax stood and my smile faltered. The forefront thought that came to my mind was that we had all lost our pups. I felt like my heart was tugged on tightly by a spiral of barbed wire as the images of what the witches had done flooded into my mind. I didn't realize I had zoned out in thought until I felt the sparks spread across my arms and chest area. I inhaled deeply and leaned back just a little trying to be as close as possible to Armand as I could while the world around me came back into sight. "Are you alright, My Love?" I finally heard him ask after a few more moments of me inhaling deeply using his scent to help me calm down. I didn't realize that I had been digging my nails into my hand to the point of almost bleeding until my vision came back into focus. I inhaled once more before I responded to him. "I...I'm fine" I said softly unsure of how I actually felt. I looked around again and noticed my parents were also there staring at us. They loo
When I woke up I was chained to a large bed in a dark room. I could just barely feel Arya in the back of my mind and I knew it would take time. I didn't know how long I had been out for and felt extremely weak. I looked around the large room and almost gagged when I smelled my old alpha's scent lingering in the air. I began to wonder if he had done anything to me while I was asleep, but didn't want to the answer to that either. I looked down my body and realized I was still in the same clothes from before. They were ripped and covered in blood, but still mostly covered me.-"Arya, I know I can't really contact you right this moment, but I hope you hear this. I promise to get us out of here"-I mentally told her just hoping she would hear that. I didn't know what the witch had done, but it had a long lasting effect it seemed. I took a moment before I began to try and unlock the padlock that kept the
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few moments before I heard a scuffling sound as if the phone was transferred to another person. "We will be there in two hours, please wait for us" I heard in the soft feminine voice of my mother-in-law. I nodded once before remembering they couldn't hear a nod causing me to respond verbally. "I will wait two hours, but after that I am leaving to get Artemis back it has been way too long already." I said before hanging up the phone and walking out of my office. I ended up pacing the floor, in the main living room, as everyone else returned using Alpha Kincaid's vehicles. I looked up briefly as Jax and Valerian entered the room. They were holding onto each other like they would disappear any second and I didn't blame them. I returned to pacing only pausing when Valerian spoke up. "I want to go with when you go to get Artemis back" He said while meeting my eyes with his. I could see a swirl of black in them before I looked away
I was just as shocked as Tafari when Arya reached out to us. It felt great to hear her voice in my head even if it was just for a little bit. I knew exactly where the witches were, but I had to make a call before going there. I picked up the office phone and called the alpha of that territory. He answered after the third ring. "Hello Armand, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked upon answering the phone. I normally wouldn't mind calling him and doing small talk since we are friends, but now was not the time for that. "Alpha Kincaid, I need your help" I told him using a formal tone. I could hear him moving around on the other end of the phone call. I hoped he would help me since we were friends. After explaining what was going on I let out a breath of relief. He agreed to help and told me he would arrive in a few short hours. When he arrived we briefly discussed our plan of action. I knew that Jax was eager to get Valerian back just as much as I was to get Artemis back. By the
I got a call from Andromeda telling me that I needed to come get Artemis early. When we walked down into the basement I was surprised to see how big her wolf was. I knew that I would never be able to control that beautiful she wolf. "What a shame" I mused out loud as the witches forced her to shift back into her human form. She was even more beautiful than I remembered her. She passed out and hit the concrete floor as I watched in silence. My wolf was barely there anymore, but I still had my strength. Artemis's wolf was taller than an average alpha wolf and the most unique colors. I knew she was special, but my mind was still trying to wrap around her colors. Her fur was the most interesting shades of purples, pinks, and blues with pure white paws like socks. "That is one big wolf" I heard Andromeda s
I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know I am so sorry that I haven't updated at all. I have been dealing with a lot in my personal life that has kept me from writing. I want you to all know that I am trying my best and will endeavor to write more. I am sorry for letting you down in my writing as of late. I can't wait to be in a place that I can write more freely, but I am not there as of right now. I hope you are all having a great life and that you continue to enjoy reading. ~A*i~
