Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 60
It was almost dawn when Noah brought the car to a stop at the end of 34th Avenue and 3rd Street. He shifted his gaze to the street lined with houses most of which were empty. He knew this was where Cathy and Ginny were.“How do you know we are in the right place?"“Because I know him too well, he won’t take them anywhere else.”“I don’t know if I can trust this guy,” Asher leaned in to whisper to Lance who sat beside him in the car.Lance nodded before realizing it was Asher who has spoken to him and he turned his head to the other man. “I don’t trust you!”Asher frowned. “I don’t trust you either.”“Rather than catch up on the lack of mistrust in this dysfunctional group, why don’t we test if my theory is correct?” Noah asked as he glared at both men through the rearview mirror.Jayden was laughing at Asher and Lance. He was sitting in the passenger seat beside Noah and now he leaned forward and peered out through the windshield into the street. There was no sign of life and though a

With every 5 years that went by the Ptakkagaris increased but and all five of the resulting descendants had features similar to those of the slaves.They were shifting through the years like they were watching the pictures at the cinema. After a while, Evgan pulled on Maggie’s phantom chains and asked her, “Have you seen enough? Do you understand what we are now?”She nodded. “You are the ones keeping our dynasty alive. Without your sacrifices, there will never be Ptakkagaris.”He nodded. His eyes took a dull, pained expression as he looked at the others. They nodded in agreement to whatever it was he was silently asking.“There is one more thing you have to see.”“What is it?”“The very reason why we invited you to the castle. But I need to make sure you are prepared to see this.”Maggie shook her head. “I wasn’t prepared to see the other things you showed me. I watched people get torn to pieces with claws and daggers, I watched sons and daughters kill their fathers and mothers. Ther

A little push on her back from Percy caused a mist to fall over them as they dissolved in the fog from her room into Lance’s.It had been his father’s room when his father was still alive. The strong Alpha of the Lycrox pack had been killed in a freak accident involving a wolf hunter shortly after Maggie and Lance were betrothed as kids. Reggie, his uncle had taken over the affairs of the pack until Lance was old enough to become Alpha. Lance had taken over his father’s room hoping that the day would come when he would have full rights to becoming Alpha.But that day would never come because his betrayal marked him as a murderer. His eyes would never turn the ruby red of Alphas, they would now remain a constant state of blue because he had innocent blood on his hands.But now as he stared into the mirror handsomely dressed in his wedding suit, Maggie felt a pull in her chest. From the clock ticking on the wall, she could tell that this was moments before Vivian barged into her room wi

“Have you tried reaching her cellphone?”Noah came out of the study with the phone in his hand. “She left it.”They had come back to the mansion an hour after rescuing Cathy and Ginny and rested until the next day.Asher and Lance were pacing the floor later that morning with their hands in their hair. Both men were tense and angry enough to ram their fists into the wall. Lance especially could almost imagine himself running into the enemy’s territory, guns blazing, ready to do battle and that was just what he wanted to do.He wasn’t alone in that desire. Asher couldn’t wait to attack the Dark Storm pack, the only thing keeping him from attacking was the fact that he wasn’t prepared for long-term war. Besides, Noah thought it was too soon to fight. They were unguarded and compared to the Dark Storm, their numbers were infinitely small.There would be casualties if they fought now.“Can’t you call Theodore? Ask him where she is?” Lance asked.“You heard what he said, he doesn’t know wh
Curse Of The Reborn Luna. Chapter 64
Though the car was one of the fastest in the garage among the collection Ezra kept, moving almost at the speed of light, it was silent on the tarred road barely making a sound. The only sound was coming from the inside of the jeep and it was coming from the dashboard because Ginny had chosen to play some old romance music. The atmosphere created by the music was so much at odds with the atmosphere at the moment. The men wanted to go to war for the Luna of their newly merging pack, they weren’t interested in listening to Lionel Richie sing “Stuck on You” or Dionne Warwick singing “Whisper in the Dark.” If there was war music, probably an old dragon theme from a medieval movie played over men riding on horses into battle, that would have been a better fitting song at the moment.But they let her listen to her songs because she was young and foolish and romantic.Ginny didn’t care.She sat in front with Noah, knowing that if Asher wasn’t in the car with them he would have tied her up wit

“They are waiting, Lance.”Maggie watched him. He sat at the edge of the bed with his head in his hands. His breath was heavy in his palms and Maggie could see that every second he spend alone he got angrier. She wished she could reach out to touch him and tell him not to believe Vivian. But she was angry just watching him. How could he believe Vivian just like that? After all they had been through?!She was seething with rage but so was Lance and he stood from the bed and threw his jacket hard across the room.“Fuck!”Axel knocked again. “Lance, are you alright in there? They are waiting for you. Ezra is ready to leave for the chapel.”Lance clenched his fists. He slapped the palm of one hand against his fist and his nostrils flared as he fought to control himself. He went back to the bed.“Lance?”When he stood up he was surprisingly calm and he went to open the door. Axel’s face held a frown that showed his concern. He watched his older brother’s face but Lance’s face was very calm

“Why is she here?” Ezra demanded, his face was pale as he watched Maggie stumble upon them.Maggie watched that naïve version of herself come to the realization that it had been a trick. She watched as her trusting eyes clouded with regret and the bitter tears of betrayal a moment before Reggie grabbed her from behind and pulled her hands behind her.At first, she couldn’t even react to the pain, the only thing she could say was, “Why?”Her innocent brown eyes searched for Lance and she couldn’t hold her tears at the stony look on his face.“Lance,” she wailed.“Kill them,” came Ezekiel’s cold command.Maggie watched the scene and for the first time, she saw it unfold differently. In her memories, Lance had been so cold that he rushed at her and tore her heart out of her chest with no regrets or heed for her tears at all. But now that she watched it as an outsider, she saw how his hand shook. The ancient dagger he held in his hand wobbled as fear overcame him.“I – I – I can’t do it,”

Maggie’s back hit the tree. Her breath escaped her lungs, emptying them. She barely had time to refill her lungs with air when Phoenix came to stand in front of her.Evgan and Percy had recovered their breath and rose to their feet, they started to transform to attack the goddess. She turned to them with a look of pure disdain.“Have you learned nothing at all from the memories of your ancestors?” she asked them and with a flick of her finger sent them flying against another tree. This time she did not just stop there, she pinned them to the trees and took their voices, that way they could not cry out. Olivia and Jackson who remained on the floor were pinned there.Maggie opened her eyes. She was panting heavily. The pain in her chest, a result of her sudden contact with the tree, spread throughout the rest of her body.“You – you knew I was here?” Maggie whispered through the pain in her chest.“Nothing happens without my knowledge, mortal. You think I haven’t sensed you watching me

“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’
