Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 26
“What are you doing? You are going to hurt yourself.” He warned when she delivered another blow to the trunk. It groaned dangerously but remained rooted in the ground. “Maggie!”“I am doing the exact thing you are doing, Asher.”“You don’t have to be foolish about it.”She stopped punching to stare at him incredulously. “Foolish?” She laughed. “So you agree that what you doing is foolish?”His nostrils flared and his amber eyes flashed at her but he didn’t respond.Maggie narrowed her eyes and rubbed her sore fists. “Communication.”“What?”“Communication, Asher that is your problem. You will rather scream and punch your way through things instead of talking about them.”He scowled. “Coming from the woman who thinks money buys everything, I don’t need a lecture.”Maggie raised her hands in surrender. “Fine, we both have our faults and we have skirted around them until now. Let’s behave like adults for once and talk.”He stared at her suspiciously. He didn’t want to talk. He wanted to

Maggie moved closer and touched his face. His face was a lot furrier than it looked and her fingers easily sank into the softness. She scratched lightly and a small sound akin to a cat’s purr escaped him.“Tell me what happened, Asher.”His massive chest visibly heaved and his red eyes swirled. She thought he was going to avoid talking about it again but he sat on his hunches and gave her a droll stare with his red eyes.“I will only tell you because I know you won’t drop the subject.” Her smile encouraged him to go on. “For a long time after I became Alpha, I accepted my fate as a man without love. Our pack used to be much larger than this but when more Ptakkagaris kept attacking us just because we couldn’t defend ourselves, we kept dying and reducing in numbers. We couldn't protect ourselves and we could not strike a deal with the Ptakkagaris. The only way I could save my pack from dying out was to procreate. I finally decided to find a wife. Even if I couldn't find a wolf to marry
Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 28
When they got back to the camp everyone else was waiting there. Leo, Ginny, Brigg, and Stark, a strange-looking girl of 12 with stark white hair that fell below her waist were waiting with them. Leo’s hands immediately came over Stark and Brigg’s eyes. Asher didn’t care about his nakedness, in fact, he didn’t even seem to notice. But Cathy noticed. And she also noticed Maggie’s hand in Asher’s which Maggie quickly snatched away.Cathy’s jaw tightened as she broke away from the group with a direct glare Asher’s way. “We need to talk,” she bit out and snatched his hand.Maggie watched them walk away to Asher’s apartment and jumped when the door was slammed shut. She looked away from the door at the others and was surprised to find that they were not judging her like she thought they would. Finding comfort in that she headed toward them, Carl in particular.“Thank you for taking care of Caleb.”Carl’s eyes widened in surprise then he frowned and looked away. “I don’t know what you are ta

“Everything okay?” Maggie asked as she opened Chase’s door to join Asher outside where he waited for her on the motorcycle. It was one of the new ones and he was testing the leather handle. She was tempted to smile.But it was the scowl on his face that worried her for some reason. One second he was smiling with her but as soon as she turned her back he was frowning again.She had a feeling it had something to do with Cathy coming out of his apartment wearing a scowl of her own. She glanced at Maggie’s direction.Asher’s voice cut through Maggie’s thoughts. “Everything’s alright. Hop on let’s get moving as fast as we can.”Maggie collected the helmet he held out to her and put it over her curls. Noah was standing a few feet away from the infirmary with a serious look on his face.“I will be fine, Noah,” she assured him. “Just watch over Caleb. We’ll be leaving here soon.”He nodded but still stood guard and watched until Asher started the engine and drove them off. Once again his mani

Asher saw red.Amid the chaos, another whimper cut through the air and dark red blood sputtered. Maggie fell silent.And so did the gray wolf. It stopped growling and took a single step back. Then another. Its huge jaws were parted and blood stained the fur, dripping to the floor. Asher opened his mouth to scream when he stopped.The blood dripping from the wolf’s mouth was not Maggie’s. It was the wolf’s. Its jaw had come slightly unhinged and a bone had pierced through its skin, breaking the surface. That was where the blood was coming from. Maggie on the other hand…if that was Maggie at all, lay on the ground. But gone was the small body of the woman who had laid on the ground just a few seconds ago, in its place was a wolf so large that even though it lay motionless on the ground it would stand 7 inches taller than the gray wolf that was by no means small for an Alpha. Asher’s eyes widened. He wasn’t the only one affected by this surprise transformation. Even the men holding him
Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 31
For a long time, there was only silence. The clouds above cleared and the sun broke through again. The branches were still and the sand storm that had been so fierce a split second ago was now a memory all in the blink of an eye.Jennifer looked at the wreckage caused by the whirlwind. Metal was strewn everywhere, bits of bricks and the roofs lay on the floor. Even the motorbike lay askew on the floor but it was still intact except for one broken mirror. Muttering a spell under her breath Jennifer set the motorbike upright grunting and holding a hand to her bulging belly as she did so.“Are you alright?” Trevor’s croaked voice came from his naked body laying to one side. Around him were the groaning bodies of the other men of the Westies pack. The gray wolf that attacked Maggie had reverted to human form, the Alpha of the Westies pack, a tall man with a muscular build. Even in his weakened state, his back was ramrod straight as he held himself against the tree trunk and he looked read

Back at the camp, there was confusion. “You felt it too?” Cathy asked with shaky breath as she clutched her belly. She like everyone else was naked. The children had been ushered inside to dress. It had happened so spontaneously and with much vigor that they were all still shaken from it. The sky was clear now but the after-effect remained.Cathy clutched her belly at the strange sensation in her.In the infirmary, Caleb groaned and rolled to his side. Carl was by his side in a flash to assist him so that he wasn't laying on his open wound. Even though it was healing it was still so slow and the bones in his neck and side were still exposed.“Take it easy you idiot,” Carl admonished him.“What the hell just happened?” Caleb moaned. He could still feel the rush of powers in his veins. It had been so overwhelming with blinding pain that he almost went numb from it.“I don’t know, I felt it too,” Carl replied then turn to look behind him at the dazed faces of the others still recovering
Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 33
“Who the hell is he?” Asher asked without lowering his voice fully aware that Lance was outside the room and was most likely hearing him. On the bed was Maggie with her head propped up against a large pile of pillows. Dark lashes framed her closed eyes and feathered her high cheekbones. Noah had contacted the doctor and he was supposed to be on his way.“Miss Maggie’s fiancé.”“He’s the one who killed her?”Before Noah could respond the door was thrown open and Lance barreled in. Asher moved to block his path.Lance pushed him but Asher would not budge. “Didn’t you hear me the last time? You are not coming anywhere close to her!”“And who are you to tell me what to do, Stray?”Asher laughed. “Stray? At least I am not a two-faced son of a bitch.”Lance raised his hand to hit him but Asher met his blow with the palm of his hand. He was Alpha, but Lance was still Beta since he hadn’t been promoted yet so he easily forced Lance’s hand back.“Stop this both of you!” Noah grunted. They both

“You are lucky Anthony was right, you know?” Maggie looked up from her wine glass with a smile. Cathy was holding a wine glass of her own. They were celebrating life after the goddess’ curse. Luckily, Ezekiel’s army hadn’t done much damage to their house and what had been destroyed was rebuilt, partially with Ginny’s help. “I know that. If that blood offering hadn’t worked we’ll not be enjoying this nice bottle of wine right now.” Maggie raised her brow at the woman. “Do you still think challenging the goddess to a fight was a stupid idea?” Cathy’s lips stretched into a reluctant smile. “Well maybe you’re not as foolish as I thought, Dark Storm.” “You are a Dark Storm too.” “Yeah yeah.” Cathy raised her glass as she turned and left. She had to go to be club. Business was booming faster than she could manage. As she started to leave she looked back at Maggie. “Thank you, Maggie.” As soon as she left Asher came in carrying another bottle of wine and he raised his brow. “Did Cathy j

Everything went still. Phoenix hovered in the air, a stricken look on her face as she looked around as if searching for something to fall as if the sky would come falling on her head at any second.Maggie waited.Asher waited.Lance waited.Ezekiel waited.Then Phoenix started to laugh. A peal of nervous laughter spurted out of her. She looked even crazier than before as she opened her mouth unnaturally wide to laugh at Maggie’s foolishness.“It failed!” She laughed. “Nothing happened.”She spun in the air laughing as she tossed her hair about. “Oh, mortal. Foolish, foolish mortal! You have failed. You have brought an end to your kind!”Without warning she snatched the sword from a dazed Maggie’s hands. It was coated with her blood.“Oh, look,” Phoenix taunted her. “I win!” she chuckled.Maggie didn’t know what to do. She lost. She lost and now…She looked back at Asher and Lance. Would they start disintegrating or would the goddess kill them after she was dead?“I’m sorry,” she sighe

Maggie put her feet on the gold armor, feeling the cold metal beneath her feet and grunting, she kicked the goddess off her, put her hands behind her head, and pushed herself off the ground. In a flash, she transformed into her wolf.Vapor escaped her nostrils. She looked down at her paws noting that the proximity of Asher and Lance reduced the bleeding to a nonexistent point. She sighed gratefully and glared at the goddess who was on her feet smiling at Maggie.“You sure took your time showing up,” Maggie told her.“I wanted to see what your pathetic uncle would do. Shall I leave him or shall I kill him?”“He’s mine for me to kill.”“Are you sure?” Phoenix asked with a lopsided grin.“He is mine to kill!”“Hmm, then I should let the men fight to keep them busy. That way Asher and Lance will have their hands full to protect you.” With a snap of her fingers, she summoned 3 more wolves and sent them at the men. “Ezekiel Dark Storm, take these wolves, they are yours. That makes things eq

It was a gloomy day. At least for the newly formed Dark Storm members. Even though the sky was bright and sunny, the occupants of the car moving Eastward were silent and dull.Maggie tightened her hand on the wheel. Asher had opted to drive but Maggie wanted to be behind the wheel. Staying still and doing nothing would make her go crazy and she didn’t want to think about what the outcome of the day would be like. It was time to face the goddess, time to decide the fate of her kind. Did she have what it took?Her hands were shaking on the wheel. So much training but it would all be for nothing if she couldn’t win.She had more than the fight with the goddess to worry about. She also worried about the others remaining in the mansion. So far they hadn’t heard anything about Ezekiel. Since his last attack, he had not attempted attacking again. But she knew trouble with him wasn’t over yet. He wouldn’t rest until she was dead. A second time.For that reason she had Greg and his team stay b

“What do you know about my mother…”They were in the study. Asher, Lance, and Noah stood behind Maggie ready to battle if their visitors pulled any silly games.None of the External Threat unit members sat. Maggie didn’t offer them seats either. They weren’t friends nor foes and depending on their actions, she would decide whether or not she could accept them as part of her new family.For now, however…“I know that your father was in love with her,” Greg answered.Maggie waited but when he didn’t continue she held out her hand. “But?”“But your mother…she used to love your father until his brother, Ezekiel, came along and swept her off her feet.”Maggie couldn’t believe it. She didn’t know her mother but she always dreamed of her as the perfect mother who would have been there for her if death hadn’t snatched her so far out of her reach. She liked to imagine that her parents were so in love that her father was devastated after her mother’s death. She imagined he was so devastated and

Lance was standing outside the balcony where the sun was high and bright. The golden rays glistened off his dark hair and on his face. He squinted his eyes as he gazed off into the woods surrounding the Dark Storm property and could clearly see Jennifer’s red head bobbing as she encouraged Maggie to continue to work with her breath.Maggie was scantily dressed in a pair of shorts and a thin shirt. Even though the sun was out the weather was a bit drafty but Jennifer, whom Maggie had invited earlier that morning before the doctor came, wanted Maggie to practice in harsh conditions.According to her, the goddess was crafty, and who knew what kind of tricks she would play. Maggie had to be prepared for anything.So with goosebumps on her flesh, she practiced holding her breath to build her endurance while fighting the various enemies Jennifer created with her powers. After all, she had only three days left to train before facing her opponent, an ageless goddess with a penchant for murder

It was precisely 12 when he arrived and Ginny was the first to see him.“What the hell…?! It’s you!”His smile was cocky as he wagged his brows upward. “Cathy’s waiting?”“Waiting and ready to shred your ass most likely. Why are you here?” The teen asked defensively crossing her arms in front of her chest as she eyed him derisively.“To see Cathy. Give us some privacy will you?”Ginny exchanged a glance with Darren. “Cathy’s gonna be mad.”“Do you know him?” Darren asked.“Let’s just say yes and leave it at that.” She turned to the man and tilted her chin upward toward the office. “She’s in there. She’s in a mood and seeing you is not going to make her calm. Knowing you’re the one offering to buy the club, she’ll probably bare her teeth at you again.”“I don’t mind Cathy’s teeth.”Ginny couldn’t hold her laugh. She slapped her hand over her mouth. “I hear you, sir, up you go. Try not to get eaten.”Theodore left Ginny and Darren to continue with their jobs and he made his way up the s

Maggie stood back while Anthony examined Caleb. She had sent Asher back to take care of other things so that she could help Anthony if he needed any help. Carl was in the room with her watching Anthony through narrowed eyes. He didn’t trust anyone but he trusted the vampire doctor even less.Anthony took one look at Caleb’s weak form. “How has he managed to stay alive?”He was pale as death, his skin held a very translucent look. His shirt had been taken off to reveal his emaciated body, his ribs very clear through his pale skin. The gap in his neck and side had crusted over and were showing no further signs of healing. Through the gap in his neck, Caleb’s pulse beat an unsteady rhythm. His lung rose and fell, visible from the side where he was stabbed. His bronze wolf heart beat unsteadily.“Steph and I did the best we could.”“I’m amazed,” Anthony said genuinely impressed. “But I am afraid that cannot keep him alive.”“You think I don’t know that?” Carl said annoyed. “We couldn’t ge

The doctor came two days later. Tall and pale as always. He wore a polite smile like Asher remembered from the last time.Asher still couldn’t shake his distrust for the man. He was a vampire! Why would Ezra Dark Storm employ a vampire in his service? He couldn’t help but wonder.“Miss Dark Storm sent for me,” Anthony said in his lilting accent, his golden eyes bright as ever. It was a cloudy day, perfect weather for bloodsuckers.“Yes, she did.”He stepped inside the mansion and took off his coat. “I am glad she is doing a lot better. I told you not to worry,” his gaze was direct. “Asher.”“You know my name.”“Your name and that of the others have been included in Miss Dark Storm’s health insurance. Her father did the same thing for every member of his pack while he was still alive. She’s filling his shoes nicely.”Asher didn’t know what to say when the man was being openly friendly. Too friendly.Anthony grinned and held his hand out. “I am harmless.”His hand was icy cold in Asher’
