Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Chase and Annalyse
ChaseI came back from hunting the Olc that was near the palace. We didn’t catch him, which was pissing Havoc off, but we did hurt him. My guards and warriors were still out following the trail.I had to get back to Lyse.I walked up the stairs and entered my suite, picking up her scent. I smiled to myself, hoping that she’d be the nosey type, at least where I was concerned. And she didn’t disappoint. It looked like she took full advantage of the open door.I inhaled deeply, her scent calming my Lycan as I followed it to my living area, anticipation coursing through my body.I found her curled up in my chair facing the windows that overlooked the forest, fast asleep.I brushed my fingertips over cheek, along her jawline, feeling little sparks run up my arm as I touched her.I leaned down and touched my lips to the shell of her ear, noticing how she moved closer as I said, “Wake up, Sleepyhead.”She looked at me through sleep filled eyes, as though she was waking up from a dream.We sp

ChaseWe made our way into my father’s office, Lyse’s parents and my father giving us smiles as we walked in.Lyse’s face turned pink at their knowing looks.“So”, I began.“So.”, Dad said, a smirk coming to his lips. I was pretty sure everyone in the room knew what we had been up to, between Lyse’s blush and the fact we only had time to get a quick clean up and not showers.“Congratulations are in order, I hear.”, he said, looking at Lyse.“Yes. And thank you.”, she replied, a bright smile cutting across her beautiful face.Her mom got up to hig her, whispering, “I told you it would be okay.”After a few moments of pleasantries and congratulations, it was time to get down to business.“Lyse.”, he began. “We know this going to be a huge adjustment for you. And we’re all here for you through every part of it.”, he finished, looking at her.“It is, and thank you. I’m sure I’m going to need some guidance along the way.”, she said gracefully.Dad looked at the Mitchells. “She’s going to b
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Some Time
AnnalyseChase and I went to the kitchen for something small to eat.I pushed my food around on my plate, not really feeling very hungry anymore. I just felt sad for Chase.“Lyse? What’s going on in that head of yours?”, he asked, gazing at me, his fingers brushing mine across the table.I sighed. “I just feel so bad, Chase. I feel like it’s my fault that your mom isn’t here with you and your dad.”, I said, looking into his eyes.“Lyse. My mom died in part, for me. She knew that your survival was paramount both to our kind, and to me.”, he said, sincerity in his face as he squeezed my hand.I smiled a small smile. “I wish that I could remember her, especially since she was my mom’s best friend. I’m sure they had a lot of stories to tell.”He smiled, the corners of his eyes crinkling. “I’m sure they did. My mom would have loved you, Lyse. She did love you.”I got up from the table, needing the fresh air that the outdoors brought.“I’m going to ask Tilda for some hot tea and sit in the
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Finding Lyse
AnnalyseI woke up in the field of flowers, my head feeling foggy. How did I get here? I was in a cave near the field of flowers. I was just in the garden a minute ago though.I was trying desperately to shake the groggy feeling away.The last thing I really remember was Tilda bringing me a cup of tea in the garden.The tea. There was something in the tea. I remember thinking that it smelled and tasted a little off. But Tilda had made the tea. She wouldn’t. Would she? She seemed so happy that Chase and I were together. There’s no way that she would hurt us that way. Is there?I didn’t know any of the palace staff well, but I just didn’t get that feeling of malice through her aura. No, something else was going on.As more of whatever it was in the tea cleared my system and I became more alert, I glanced around, trying to get my bearings.I was in a cave. It was pretty deep, but the entrance looked onto the field of flowers.I had to overcome the fear that I felt and form a plan. There’
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Chase
ChaseI left my room, feeling disgusted and angry with myself, needing to find Lyse. I could feel her fear through the bond.‘Ryker’, I linked‘Yeah.’, he answered.‘Don’t kill her. Put her in a silver and wolfsbane lined cell. Then find me. I’m headed to the fields. I have a feeling she’s there. I’ll deal with that bitch when I get back.’, I said.‘On it. I already got some information for you.’, he said.‘Find the Luna, Chase.’I shifted midair at the edge of the forest, the need to find my mate paramount. I was feeling all sorts of things through the link. Her anger, jealousy, fear. Havoc ran faster, scenting her in the flower fields. Right as I crossed into them, I felt overwhelming love through the bond, and sadness.I looked across the field and saw her underneath sulfur and death himself, the stench almost overpowering. He was licking her marking spot, preparing her for his mark.Fuck that.Havoc sprang through the air, knocking him away from her, teeth ripping into the scruff
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Trouble
ChaseMorning dawned earlier than either of us wanted, but today was another busy day.I had prisoners to question first thing.I rolled to my side and pulled Lyse against me. She sighed softly and wiggled her ass against the front of me, causing the friction that only she could, making me want more.I ran my nose up the back of her neck, making goosebumps crawl across her flesh as she arched and moaned in her sleep.I slid my hand up her torso to cup her breast, rubbing the pad of my thumb across her nipple.I could feel the wetness between her legs, making me even harder, the need to be inside of her more intense than any feeling I’ve ever had. It would never get old.I dipped my other hand under the sheets, finding her wet and wanting. And awake, as she turned her head to look over her shoulder, catching my lips.I slid into her wet heat from behind, slowly, wanting to savor every second of this feeling.As soon as I hit that spot deep inside her, I felt her walls tighten around me
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Waiting For Cass
AnnalyseI’m so excited to see Cass. I miss being able to just shift and run, even though Bella understands it’s for safety reasons. I was still stir crazy though and Cass coming to visit for a few days will be a great distraction.Chase sent his driver, Benny to pick her up and I made sure that Chase was okay to let her stay in his mom’s old room since I had become a permanent fixture in his.I pulled my bag out from under my bed, intending to finish up some last minute stuff for graduation. My dad and Chase’s had already spoken to the school and I would finish up the remaining classes online, another safety measure. A few minutes into my studying, a knock sounded on the door.I hopped up, expecting to see Cass, bouncing around in excitement. Instead, a note slid under the door.Confused, I picked it up and slid it out of the envelope.I started shaking as I read the note.Young Astrydian,We found your friend on her way to see you and have invited her to join us for a visit instead.
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) She's Gone
ChaseMy men and I had searched everywhere we could think of to find that bastard. His ability to disguise scent was frustrating. Havoc would pick up his acrid stench and begin to follow, only to lose it a short time later.I got back to the palace and headed upstairs, craving the scent of my mate. I smiled as I thought of her. Everything about her was perfect for me.“Royal Highness.”, Harrison greeted me.“Hi, Harrison. How has she been today? Is her friend Cassidy with her?”, I asked, not wanting to interrupt their time, but needing to see her anyway.“Uh. Not that I’m aware of, Sir.”, he said, looking everywhere but me.“Harrison? What’s going on?”, I asked slowly, feeling on edge. ‘Something’s wrong, Chase. Her scent isn’t as strong as it should be.’, Havoc chimed in.“Harrison. I asked a question.”, I said, forcing my words out through the worry that I was starting to feel.“She told me that she was just going to the kitchen for some tea. I went to follow, but she told me to st

Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) The Story
AnnalyseI sat there, ears straining to hear what was being said as I tried to reach out to Bella.‘Bells? Are you there? Please answer me.’, I pleaded.Still nothing. As I sat, I began to panic. What would happen if whatever they gave me killed her?I also felt sick again. And hot, like I was going into another heat. But it was way too soon for that.The talking stopped as the footsteps stalled outside the room we were in.I felt nervous and a little scared, especially without my wolf as the door opened slowly and a familiar scent hit my nose.“Well, look who we have here. A visitor for you, Annalyse.”I looked up, shocked to see what my brain already knew.Out of the shadows and into the light walked Cristabell. My other best friend.She looked at me, disgust written all over her face, jealousy blazing in her eyes.“Crista?! What are you doing here?”, I asked, genuinely confused at this point, hoping against hope that she wasn’t being held here too.“What am I doing here?”, she scof
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) In the Dark
AnnalyseI felt so groggy and I was worried. Really worried. I haven’t been able to talk to Bella since being taken.I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I felt like I was underground, the walls around me made of stone that had long ago begun to crumble and mold from lack of upkeep.I was in a cell, lying on a dirty mattress that had been thrown down here. No sheet or blanket and despite the time of year, it was pretty cold down here. A single candle was the only light flickering through the darkened space outside of the cell.I sat up against the wall as I tried to reach out to Bella again.‘Bells? What happened? Where did you go? I’m worried.’Nothing. Not even a glimmer that she was there, though I could feel something stirring inside of me.I couldn’t seem to link Chase either.I wanted my mate. Surely he’d be coming for me.The last thing that I remembered was leaving him to go to the bathroom in the packhouse and hearing Asher crying for help.Then everything goes black.“
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Where Am I?
AnnalyseI came to with a terrible headache and filled with panic. Bella had gone quiet, almost as if she weren’t there at all.‘Bells?’, I reached out to her.Nothing. Not even a stirring.I tried to communicate through linking.Nothing there either.What had whoever grabbed me given me?I tried to clear the fog from my brain when I registered footsteps coming.I closed my eyes, still trying to gather my thoughts, but I didn’t want to hint to whoever was coming that I was awake.“Dammit, Zane! How much did you put on that cloth?”, I heard a deep voice demand. “Enough to knock her out and keep her from fighting me long enough to get her here.”, I heard another answer.“She should be awake by now. I need her alive.”, I heard the first say.“Everyone processes the mixture differently. It’s possible that her wolf is still working it out of her system.”, the second man answered.“That better be all that it is. We’re working on a minimal time frame at best here. He’s going to find her. Hi
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Lured Away
ChaseI was beyond pissed. I had heard every word that that vile girl spoke to Lyse. Havoc was itching to get out and do some damage.As I walked through the trees, watching as the girl was about to hit my mate, fury surged through me. Ryker stepped in just in time, willing to allow it to go only so far.I knew that Lyse could handle herself, but it was my job to keep her safe.She was surprisingly calm and collected and handled the situation with as much poise and grace as one could while being called the King’s whore.I knew what she was doing when she said she’d have to think about a proper punishment. Normally, I would’ve just given one myself, but as much as I wanted to, it was her decision to make.The waiting alone would probably drive the girl a little nuts as it was, I thought with a small smile.Lyse confirmed it a moment later.“Waiting should be punishment enough.”, she said.I gave her a small chuckle. “I thought that’s what you were doing.”, I said.“Yeah, well. It proba
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Trouble Brewing
AnnalyseThe man at the back of the crowd watched the proceedings with interest, and quietly.No one noticed that he didn’t belong, or even that he was there for that matter. The following celebrations added to the distraction of the already confused crowd and gave him the opportunity to slip away unnoticed.I was walking around the celebration, smiling and nodding while also paying attention to the whispers that surrounded me when no one thought I was there. “The King sure seems awful close to Lyse. What’s going on?”, one girl asked another.“I don’t know, but were you there when he kissed her on his way up to the pack house before?”, the other asked back.I recognized them both from school. Mean girls who had nothing better to do than gossip and well, be mean. Bianca and Eloise.“I knew she was nothing but a little slut. First Jace, now the Lycan King.”, the first said.We had opted not to tell many about the fact that we’re fated mates yet. Mostly because the situation with the O

Annalyse“You are aware that by giving him your blood, you may also transfer some of your Astrydian ability to him as well?”, KIng Arvand asked.“Yes.”, I answered. “And what better man to give them to? He served my father faithfully, has loved my mother and kept me safe and protected all of these years. He should have been a born Astrydian as far as I’m concerned.” I said.My dad pulled me to him in a quick hug. “Thank you, Lyse. It’s been my honor and privilege.”, he said quietly.Chase and King Arvand looked on, Chase turning to his father.“They are both remarkable.”, he said with a small smile.“Yes. They are.”, King Arvand answered.“Alright then. Now that that’s settled, let’s get this show on the road!”, Chase said.“How do you feel, Dad? Are you ready?”, I asked my dad.“Fine and yes.”, he said with a wink as we headed out the door toward the back grounds of the pack house to begin the ceremony.Outside, the night was warm. It seemed as though everyone from the territory was
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) New Alpha
ChaseThis bastard was really pissing me off. How dare he speak to my mate the way he was. Kudos to her though; she was handling it all beautifully. Grace and dignity befitting the queen that she is was oozing out of her. Watching the confident woman in front of me with the calm demeanor and glowy eyes, I was beyond proud. She was going to be the perfect queen to our packs.When she flipped her hair back to reveal her mark, the shock in his eyes was worth the price of admission.“I… I”, he stuttered.“You what?”, Lyse asked him. “You were just going to apologize? Well, go ahead then.”, she finished, a hand on her hip, waiting.I looked at him, my Lycan command clearly causing him pain. “She’s waiting.”, I said.“I’m sorry.”, he said, hatred and disbelief flaring in his wolf’s brown depths as he worked to fight the command of another Alpha.“I’ve come not only as a guest tonight.”, I started, easing up on the command to make sure he wasn’t too uncomfortable to listen to my words.He s

AnnalyseI smiled as Chase winked and closed the office door behind him. I was trying to calm my anxiety, nervous for what I knew would be a pretty big confrontation.“I’m going to run to the bathroom real quick”, I said to my parents as I turned to head toward one of the packhouse bathrooms.“Are you alright? You look a little pale, Sweets.”, Dad said with concern.“I’m okay. I think it’s just the anxiety of everything that’s happening. I think it’s catching up with me. That’s all.”, I said, knowing that that had to be it. It’s been a whirlwind of the last few weeks.“I’ll be right back.”“Should I come with you?”, Mom asked, starting to stand.“No, don’t worry. I’m just going down the hall.”, I assured her, knowing that Chase wanted me safe, but figuring that I’d only be a couple of hundred feet away.I walked down the hall in a hurry. I could feel my stomach getting ready to revolt any second and I had to get there before it did.I closed the door and locked it just in time to turn
Chasing His Luna (Book 1 in Black Water Series) Confrontation
ChaseI gave Lyse a quick wink as Ryker entered and I closed the door behind us and stepped next to my father, giving him a nod.“Everything is ready, Your Majesties.”, Collin said, a smile of pride on his face. One that was about to come crashing down.“It is.”, I started. “However, I’m afraid that it’s not Jace who’s to become Alpha today.”, I finished, letting my words register.The office was silent as my words died away. I would wait for as long as it took him to grasp my meaning. He who speaks first loses, after all.Collin looked from me to my father and then back again, his face beginning to pale.“What are you saying?”, he asked slowly, as though waiting for the confirmation of his thoughts.I was happy to oblige. I tossed a file down onto his desk. All of the damning evidence against his son now available for him to see.He picked it up and began to thumb through it. My guys had been busy gathering statements of the girls he had been rough with, and in some cases forced unde
