Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 46
Hours later Lance fell asleep too. Asher on the other hand rose from the bed and went to the bathroom. When he came back he put his clothes back on and with one last look at Maggie he left the room.The mansion was an extremely large house, the hallways were quiet but the noise from the TV where an afternoon cartoon show was playing drifted up to him. The children were settling here nicely and he couldn’t blame them. Mason and Steph, Jayden and Edna’s children shouldn’t have to grow wildly as they did. They were still young, if they remained in the city among modern society, they probably wouldn’t have a recollection of being born in the woods with little or no medical supplies.And the others, they were settling nicely. So far Carl seemed to be interested in helping Stephanie in taking care of Caleb who was still showing no signs of healing but was still alive. Ginny, Leo, and the other adolescents were happier, they had gone out to the pool earlier to cool off and no doubt were prob

Maggie rolled on her side and opened her eyes coming face to face with Lance with his eyes closed. A sudden rush of gentle emotions rushed through her, and she frowned. Strangely, she didn’t feel the need to be so angry at him anymore. She was mad at herself for not seeing Vivian for the monster she was. How could a friend she knew for so long turn around and stab her in the back like that?Vivian had been like a sister to her especially since she had grown up as an only child. To think the person she trusted with her secret would turn around to be a monster.And Lance, he shared a fraction of the blame but he was also a victim in Vivian’s machinations.Maggie released a slow breath, careful not to alert him to the fact that she was awake. She started to raise her hand to his face to touch him gently when she stopped and a slow smile spread on her face.He was awake.His thoughts were invading her head. They were thoughts of regret over what happened and he was also thinking about the

“Are you sure they are the ones?”“They smell like Ptakallis.”“There are many Ptakallis in the city Teddy, did you get the right ones?”“You guys I’m trying to take a nap here.”The men turned to find Ginny glaring at them with one open eye. She had her head tilted back against the wall. Her hands were tired in front of her on her lap and her tired legs were bare. Cathy was quiet beside her still dizzy from the tranquilizer she was shot with. Those were no ordinary tranquilizers.The men grinned menacingly. Ginny had only felt slightly dizzy when they abducted her. For some reason, the tranquilizer was having next to zero effect on her and the men had to tie her up earlier than Cathy. From then on she had given them nothing but trouble.“You have quite the mouth on you, don’t you?”She shrugged. “I guess. Wanna try it?”The smaller one of the men, the one called Teddy, shot a mean grin her way.“You won’t be so cocky when we are done with you, kid.”She gave him a mock salute with he

“How much longer do I have to do this?” Maggie asked. She sucked in a breath in under Jennifer’s command.“As long as it takes for you to get used to commanding your wolf. The last time you transformed you lost so much blood that you almost died. How were you able to come out of your coma?”“I saw my father. He told me I have unfinished business here.”Jennifer lifted her hand away from Maggie’s chest. “Breath out. How do you feel now?”Maggie shook her head with a shrug as she slowly let her breath out. “Not much different. How is breathing supposed to help?”“It helps you feel your wolf better. We will keep practicing until we connect with her. I can’t promise it will be easy but with time you will be strong enough to achieve it.”“How much longer?”Trevor butt in. He had been leaning against the wall refusing to sit down while he worriedly watched Jennifer work with Maggie. She was standing for too long and he was worried it was putting a strain on her and their baby.“It’s too lat

Teddy and the other man were waiting outside for the boss when he arrived. Under the midnight sky, he stepped out of the car and walked briskly toward them. “How many of them?” “Two, sir.” “And you haven’t harmed them?” The man asked. His voice carried a warning that made the men frown. “No, sir.” “Good. Keep them here until you get a call.” He went off a little distance and brought a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one. As he puffed on it Teddy exchanged a quizzical glance with his partner before making his way to his boss. The man’s tall, lean figure towered over him. “Sir, are we not killing them? They are wolves. Ptakallis.” “What were my orders Teddy?” the man calmly asked. “To keep them here…” “Until you get a call. Separating them from Dark Storm’s heir was the deal.” He puffed his cigarette again. “Have you fed them?” Teddy shook his head. “We are hunters, sir, they are wolves. Our job is to…” “Don’t teach me my job, Ted. Several generations of hunting r
Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 51
Two men sat under the midnight sky in a black nondescript car outside the mansion watching the lights in the west wing go off.“That must be where the children’s rooms are,” one of the men said to the other.They waited several more minutes. Minutes bleed into hours before Steph, Jayden, Mason and Edna made their way to their rooms. The men waited a few minutes more before getting out of the car but not before opening the passenger door and dragging out a skinny teenager in a pair of faded blue jeans, a faded white shirt, a pair of worn-out sneakers, and a baseball cap.The boy stumbled and jerked his collar out of the hand of the man and caught himself quickly before he hit the floor.He glared at the men. “What’s the big idea?”“Do your thing,” the man ordered gruffly.The boy continued to glare but there was nothing he could do as he straightened his clothes and put his hands out.“Fine,” he said. He closed his eyes and turned his hands down as he began to chant. “Darkness and Ligh
Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 52
The house was huge, dark and foreboding. It was a stone mansion surrounded by trees, the high walls and multiple floors gave it the appearance of an abandoned castle. Except that it wasn’t abandoned as lights were streaming out of the windows on almost every floor. Something about it indicated the presence of ancient powers, too strong for her to contain. Every fiber in her being warned her not to go in but her curiosity overcame her and before she knew it she was stepping out of the car.She didn’t wait for the men before starting for the house.“Wait…”“This is where you wanted to bring me, right? Don’t try to stop me now.”They weren’t exactly trying to stop her, rather they were worried about the clash of powers. They went with her on the stone walkway flanked by evergreen trees on both sides. A wide field held a gazebo and another bigger structure that looked like an orangery.Maggie raised her brows amused. “This house must be old.”The men didn’t respond.“How old is it?”They

Asher brought the car to a stop in front of the Westies pack community. Some members curious at the sound of the smooth-running engine of the car came out to see who it was. The Alpha came to stand at the gate with crossed arms and a look of suspicion in his eyes.After the very awkward, silent ride, Trevor was grateful to open the door to less hostile air. He held his hand out to Jennifer and she took his hand.“I’m not an invalid, babe,” she laughed but she leaned into him slightly tired by the day’s activities.He smiled at her and gathered her to his side, hooking his hand around her shoulders. Asher had gotten out of the car too and when Trevor turned him he turned serious.He looked like he wanted to say something but was holding himself back. Jennifer looked at both men, shaking her head at their stubbornness as she thought to herself, Men. She nudged Trevor’s side.“Go on, say something.”Trevor frowned at her. But his frown came from a place of awkward embarrassment more than

“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
Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 74
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’
