Brooklyn-
The idea of learning more about my father was tempting, though at this point I wasn’t sure if I was ready to learn. I had thought maybe I was, but thinking about it now, I wasn’t. I felt like I needed to figure out who I was first.
If my father was really this Legendary Crescent Wolf, he was well known and feared. Right now I didn’t think I was able to even live up to the name. Besides, if he hadn’t actually known my father personally, how much of the information he had was accurate?
He had been a young boy and that had been years ago. What information he did have could be limited and misconstrued. Shaking my head, I decided right now wasn’t the time. He may not even have much information to give me, at least anything I was interested in knowing.
Sure, it would be nice hearing about him, but I was more interested in who he was as a person and less about his legacy.
“That is okay, the offer is available
Tatum-After we finished eating, I offered to clean up while she showered and got ready for the day. We didn’t really talk much while we ate. I tried not to push too much, and I wasn’t sure how much of my past I should give her. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as hard as I figured it would have been to open to her.Letting my guard down around her was a lot easier than I suspected it would be. Initially, I hadn’t meant to be so open, but once I got to talking, my words kept spilling out. I wasn’t sure if it was just knowing I had another chance to find happiness, or if it was her that made things easier.Either way, I was more than grateful she was giving me another chance. There was a lot of making up to do, but I was okay with it. I was interested in seeing what I was even capable of. Early this morning I decided I would give her everything I had in me and if by the end she still chose to leave, it would probably be for the best.I
Brooklyn-For the past twenty minutes, since I told Belle about my plan, she has been silent. I couldn’t read her expression. I didn’t know if she liked it or not. My nervousness increased with each passing moment, as I waited for her to say something.At this point, I would even be okay if she said she didn’t like it. Anything was better than the silence. Eric had told me I was ready to bring it to her, but now I wondered if I should have taken another day or so to go over everything with a fine comb.All the excitement I had, of showing her my plan was greatly decreasing. It wasn’t so much I was worried if she didn’t like it or not. I didn’t mind tweaking things if necessary. The not knowing was troublesome though. I have spent a lot of time on this and I wanted it to be perfect.More than anything I wanted it to get approved. Even if it took me longer. My concern was her saying it was an absolute no. She had encourag
Brooklyn-Chasity stood a couple of steps up from me, not saying a word. I had nothing to say to her, so I was not inclined to speak either. After a few too-long moments of just staring at each other, I made a move to step around her. That was when she decided to speak.“I am sorry.” Chasity blurted out, which caught me off guard and I nearly tripped on the step.“Excuse me?” I stopped and turned towards her, watching her like I was expecting her to try to strike out.“I said I am sorry.”I definitely heard her, but I didn’t believe her. This had to be some sort of trick. Was she wanting to catch me off guard? I wasn’t scared of her, but that didn’t mean I wanted her to try to pull one over on me when I was least expecting it.“Did you hear me?” Chasity asked when I still haven’t answered her.“I heard you.”“Aren’t you going to say
Tatum-I was a nervous wreck. I was waiting for Brook to finish getting ready for our date and all I could do was pace back and forth in the living room. It wasn’t like she was taking a long time, I have only been waiting thirty minutes since she got out of the shower. It was just that I knew that this date was going to determine just how hard it was going to be to win her heart.All day I have been going back and forth in my head just how much I needed to reveal to her. There were some things I didn’t think she needed to know, but how was I to know what I needed to tell her and what I didn’t? If I revealed too much, I could scare her off. If I didn’t reveal enough I was just going to keep her at a distance.It didn’t help that I received some news from a contact of mine that said he came across a group of hunters that fit the description I gave him. Right now I had him trailing them to find out more information. He didn’t hav
Brooklyn-“Do you still have an agreement with any of the girls?”I had wanted to know that all day, but was afraid to ask. Now that I have asked, I regretted asking. What would I even do or say if he said he was still seeing any of them? I wasn’t even sure how many girls he had been sleeping with.“No. I haven’t been with anyone in a couple of months.”As much as I tried to think of how I would respond when he told me he was still seeing others, I never thought of how I would respond if he said he wasn’t. Thankfully there was a knock on the door and I was able to get a bit of a reprieve before responding.Tate stood from the table and moved to answer the door, while I took a long drink of water. All of a sudden my mouth had become rather dry. I knew one thing for sure now though. It wasn’t just the mate bond that I was responding to.I realized that even without Skye, he still affected me. The
Tatum-I couldn’t give her what she wanted. I had thought long and hard about letting her help me, but the more I thought about it the more I just couldn’t. I didn’t want to lose her. If my contact did find them, then it was just a matter of time before I would have to leave. She wasn’t ready, I wasn’t sure if I could get her ready in time.Closing the door, I walked towards her until I was standing directly in front of her. She was looking at me with such stubbornness, that it was actually cute. Her big blue eyes were daring me to tell her no again. Reaching behind her, I set the box down.When I pulled my hand back, I reached up to cup her cheek. Even through all the stubbornness of hers, she still leaned into my touch. I could see the trust she was giving me, which made this even harder. I expected her to pull away from me or something, I didn’t expect her to lean into my hand and wrap her fingers around my wrist.Us
Tatum-As much as I wanted to keep kissing her, I knew if I didn’t stop now, I probably wouldn’t be able to. Axel was urging me to set her on the table and claim her right now. It was very tempting. Especially with her legs wrapped around me and her dress riding up to her upper thighs.Setting her down on the floor, it took more effort than I had just to break the kiss. I had to take a step back and put a bit of distance between us, otherwise, I was going to say the hell with it and not stop. It wasn’t like she seemed to care if I continued, I just couldn’t do her like that without knowing she was giving full consent.“Why did you stop?” She breathed out.“Because if I didn’t, I was about to claim you and I don’t know if you would have been okay with it or not.”“Oh.” She looked down at her dress and smoothed it out, before looking back up at me. “Are you mad at me for pu
Brooklyn-That was such a long time ago. All this time he has been looking out for me. The thing is, I didn’t know much at all. All this time I just thought he was being a jerk, only to find out that he was stepping up to fight my battles for me when I couldn’t.I was at a war within myself to even know what to say. What more did I not know that he has been doing? I felt like if I was going to know, I needed to know in moderation and not all at once. Already I was feeling overwhelmed with everything. I still didn’t even know how I was supposed to act around him.The dynamics of our relationship has changed so much that I didn’t know what to do. I have seen couples before, each of them acting in different ways. I knew some that would not be very nice to each other and rather demanding, while others were all over each other, barely coming up to breathe. There were also some that you couldn’t even tell they were mated.Maybe I w
Brooklyn-“Are you okay in there?” I heard Tate ask from just outside the bathroom door.For probably the fifth time in the past couple of days since Tate woke up, I have been hovering over the toilet. It was like I had this urge to throw up, but nothing would happen. I couldn’t even make myself throw up, even when I tried.I don’t know what was going on, all I knew is I felt miserable. Even thinking about food made me sick to my stomach. Yet when I did eat, it was as if I was starved or something. This completely sucked and I just wanted it to be over.“I don’t know.” I answered honestly.The doorknob shook, but I was thankful I at least had half the mind to lock it. The last thing I wanted was for Tate or anyone for that matter to see me like this. As far as I knew werewolves didn’t get sick in the same way humans did, but after doing some research on the computer, I was sure that maybe I had the st
Brooklyn- As soon as I felt his mouth, I nearly orgasmed at the very second. It has been far too long since I have had felt so much pleasure from him. Until he showed me the true meaning of desire, I had been perfectly fine, now it was as if I craved his touch every second of every day. My head fell back as he licked and sucked at my clit. My mind practically turned to mush as he did so, making it nearly impossible to form a sensible thought. Just when I thought I could take as much as I possibly could, he pulled my hips towards him until I was right on the edge of the counter. Out of pure reflex alone, I moved my hands to grab the edge of the counter and hold on as if my life depended on it. He lifted one of my legs and placed it over his shoulder, giving me just a bit more balance. Or at least I thought that was his intention until I felt his tongue slide from my clit and move down until it reached my entrance. In one fluid motion, he thrust his ton
Tatum-I could tell something was bothering Brook, but I couldn’t tell what it was. As much as I wanted to press on it, I kept my mouth shut. The way she nibbled on her bottom lip made me think whatever was going on in her head, she needed to come to terms with on her own time and decide if she wanted to tell me.Patiently I waited, leaning up against the kitchen counter, while she began to pace in the kitchen. I had thought maybe I could get in a shower and then take her to bed to have my way with her, but then she started acting a bit strange. It was moments like this that I wish I was a mind reader.“I haven’t been fair to you.” Brook said when she finally quit pacing.“What do you mean?” I asked, raising one of my eyebrows and tilting my head ever so slightly to the side.She didn’t respond right away, just started biting down on her bottom lip. It made me start to feel a little nervous myself, though I
Brooklyn-I waited until the auditorium cleared out before I looked over at my father. He was watching me intently the entire time, but I tried to ignore it. I don’t know why, but it annoyed me that he spoke up on my behalf. I wanted to show that I could take initiative on my own, but now I think everything was put to rest because of who my father was.“Did I say something wrong?” He asked when I just looked at him without saying a word.Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself before speaking. It wasn’t that I wasn’t happy to see him, I just wanted to make a name for myself. Now everyone knew who my father was and I wasn’t sure if others would respect me because of what I did and not who I was or who I was related to.Until recently I have been on my own. For the first time, I thought I was strong enough to be able to stand on my two feet and lead everyone. Now the question would always be there, was it I or my fat
Tatum- I wasn’t sure how Axel and I managed to get out of the state we were in, but when I had woken up and found Brook laying over me, the how didn’t matter. I was back and that was the only thing I cared about at the time. When I told her I was willing to give up my title for her, I had thought she would have agreed to it. It would have probably been a good idea to give it up either way, so I could focus on her, but I also loved being Alpha. I felt as if there was still so much more I could do as Alpha. Taking the hand, she held out to me after she asked her question, I accepted it without a word. Together, hand in hand, we made our way to the auditorium. The halls were empty, so I suspected everyone else was at the meeting, which I was kind of glad about. The idea of surprising everyone was sounding better and better with each step we took. This wasn’t the kind of reunion I had wanted when I woke up, then again nothing in my life has ever gone acco
Brooklyn- “It is time.” Eric said, as soon as I opened up the door to the room I was staying in with Tate. I had known that it was bound to come, but I had spent all night trying to reach Tate. When Eric had told me that the Elders were going to strip Tate of his Alpha role, I felt as if my world was disintegrating around me. On one hand I couldn’t care less about being Luna. On the other, I knew how much it meant to Tate by being Alpha. “We just need a little more time.” I whispered, feeling as if my heart was breaking. “I know, but they aren’t going to give it to us.” Eric said, sounding just as defeated as I felt. “He is going to wake up, I just know it.” I said, looking up at him and hoping there was something he could do. “I want to believe that, but we have to be realistic. It has been a week and there is still no change. I am not saying I don’t think he will never wake up, but we need to start looking at the possibility it could
Tatum-“Brook!” I screamed, watching as the life faded from her eyes.I had been so sure I could protect her. The doubts I had, I pushed away, and I gave into believing she was strong enough to protect herself. When we entered the warehouse, she had been so nervous that I had no choice but to keep myself calm, at least for her sake.The worse part of it all, I couldn’t get to her. It was almost as I was frozen in time, unable to move. I just had to stand here and watch the one I gave my heart to fall to the ground lifeless. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t make my feet move forward.As she now laid there, unmoving, I kept trying to get to her. My body felt weak like it was being weighed down by an unseen force. My heart was beating wildly in my chest, feeling as if it was going to explode at any moment.“Don’t die! I can’t lose you too!” I screamed, continuing to try to force my body to move.&ld
Brooklyn- Three days passed by and still no signs of Tate waking up. According to the pack doctor, she wasn’t sure if he even would wake up. I found out that wolfbane doesn’t just attack us physically, but it could also attack our wolf. Unless Axel can come out of it, there may be a chance that Tate could die. Even with the wolfbane completely removed, Tate wasn’t out of the woods yet. I have been staying in the hospital room with Tate, hoping that I would be there if he woke up. I have tried many times to reach him, even Skye has tried reaching Axel, but we have had no luck. As much as I wanted to be in the room until Tate woke, I had to take on the duties as Alpha, since I was Luna. At first, I hadn’t known the first thing about leading the pack, but Eric has been at my side nonstop. We still had no idea what happened to Ryan. I currently had a couple of warriors out searching for him and his guards, but it was as if he just disappeared off the face
Brooklyn-“Brook…” I heard Eric say aloud, yet it sounded so far away.“I don’t think she can hear you.” Another voice said, but I was unsure of who was speaking, as that voice sounded far away as well, but also slightly unfamiliar.“Is there anything you can do for him?” I heard Eric ask.“Not here I can’t. We need to get him back to the pack. There is some sort of poison on the blade.” I heard Jarod say.That is when everything clicked, I was still latched on to a very dead Shane. I had been so focused on what I was doing that I allowed myself to become oblivious to everything else. Tate had been stabbed and I didn’t even know if he was okay. Releasing Shane, I took one last look and saw that he was indeed very much dead.When I turned, I found Eric, my father, and Jarod surrounding Tate, who was still laying on the ground unconscious. Jarod was examining the blade th
