“Given the high profile this case is and your clients record or evading the guards, I believe it is in the best interest to keep Ms. Hailey here. I am revoking bail. However, if I see a new bruise on her body, I will reverse my decision and give Ms. Lilith what she is asking for. Understood?”

We knew we were going to get rejected but it still hurt. Jasmine was grinning from ear to ear with that news. By the way Charlotte kept twitching her neck, I knew she could feel me but she refused to look at me. I wanted to tell her to keep her head up, to have some faith. I wanted to say that I was sorry for how things went down but I was trying to help. If she would only meet my eyes, I would relay that to her but she refused.

“Monday we will hear opening statements and get this started.” Judge Janelle ordered.

“Your honor! That is only one day! We need time to prepare our defense!” Lilith tried to plead her case.

“Then I suggest you get to work.” Judge Janelle stood up.

“All rise.” Ever
Mrs. Smith

Thank you all for reading!!!

  • Diamond Eyed Luna   Chapter 19

    If I was suppose to be quiet, I wasn’t. I knew I was screaming but the sheer terror I felt was like nothing else. I was being tossed around, left, right, up and down. In circles and every direction that I couldn’t gather my own thoughts. My hands searched frantically for the yellow handle. I knew it was on the right side of me but that meant bending my left shoulder which was my hurt shoulder. My finger tips could reach it but my hand couldn’t grasp it. Using my right arm, I pushed my left arm up and over my shoulder to pull the rope. The sharp pain told me I tore something. It instantly went limp and I coudn’t move it. Maybe dislocated it? As my shoot opened, the whiplash was something I was going to be feeling for awhile. Looking up, the plane I was just on was flying high and away from me. Looking down, the forest below me was quickly approaching. The speed was a little fast but I didn’t know if I had breaks or not so it was all I could do to sit and wait for the trees to hit me

    “Where is your sling?” Leo frowned as he looked at me walking gingerly down the stairs. The downstairs was one large room. Not that it was very big but the kitchen was on the far side and a small livingroom was in the middle. “Upstairs.” I said as I kept coming down the stairs. “You are suppose to wear that for another week.” “Speaking of which, how many days have I been here?” “Five.” Ezra said as he shoved a garlic bread stick in his mouth. The food smelled amazing. “Sit and eat. I’ll get you your sling.” Arlo said as he got up. I didn’t clean up after myself fully so I was slightly embarrassed for him to go in that room. Leo placed a plate in front of me and put a small amount of spaghetti on it. “Eat that and I can always give you more but I don’t want your stomach to get upset.” “Thank you.” Picking up the fork, I took a bit of the most delicious spaghetti I have ever tasted. Not sure if it was because I haven’t ate in like a month or if it was because it really was th

    “WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!” Arlo stood up and held out his psalms to me in a defensive position. Closing my eyes, I had to focus on my breathing to keep myself calm. “I’m fine.” Taking another deep breath. I held it before releasing it and opening my eyes again. “That was fucking scary shit.” Arlo relaxed his shoulders. I didn’t even stop from rolling my eyes. “It’s nothing. Forget it even happened.” Leaning back in the couch, I grabbing removed I turned the T.V back on. Arlo gave me a last look before sitting down beside me. “What do you want to do?” Arlo asked. There was only a western on or a 60’s game show. Neither sounded good so I just turned the T.V back off. “I don’t care. It’s not like I have options.” “I have these…” Arlo got up and walked over to a small desk that was in the corner. He opened a drawer and pulled out something before walking over to me and laying it in front of me. It was a drawing pad and colored pencils. My face lit up in excitement. My body moved quic

    “Does it matter?” Waylon asked. “It does to me.” Taking a sip of my beer, I continued. “I made the mistake of thinking you would protect me. Then, because of the mate bond, I starting thinking you would finally be the one to save me. My heart was hoping so but I was foolish. I should have just ran away again.” “He would have still found you and then when he was ready, he would have brought you in. Face it, you were on borrowed time.” Waylon muttered. “Sometimes ignorance is bliss. At least I was happy. Even if it was a fake happiness.” “Why are you so hell bent that you don’t get a happily ever after? Why can’t you just let me help you, if not to just give you a chance at freedom?” Waylon leaned forward and studied me. “And be in your debt? To watch my mate refuse to reject me so I will have to feel him betray me for the rest of my life?” “I won’t be betraying you if you accept me.” Waylon leaned back against his chair and finished off his beer before tossing the empty can in

    “Waylon?” My head was in my hands as I was leaned forward. Looking up, Charlotte was walking towards me, slowly. She was wearing a basic t-shirt and leggings but it looked so sexy on her. “What do you want?” If was in no mood for her shit if she came here to fight. “I wanted to apologize.” I had to blink a few times. This was a trick… right? “Oh?” “Yeah. I know you have been trying to help me and I keep pushing you away. It has been easier for me to not allow anyone to get to know me. As you could see, Nora turned her back on me pretty quickly. You found out who I was and locked me in a safe room.” “It was for your safety. So people thought you left and wouldn’t look for you. Besides, you were in there touching yourself, thinking of me.” “THE POINT IS…” She said loudly as trying to not address that statement. “I think we both can say that we have no handled things… well. Maybe we can restart?” “Restart? As in start over? You want to start over?” I asked to clarify. “Yes. I

  • Diamond Eyed Luna   Chapter 24

    Charlotte POV “Who is it?” I asked, confused and slightly on edge. Waylon got up and moved over to the window. “It’s Leo and Ezra but they weren’t suppose to be back yet…” “This isn’t good.” Arlo muttered. His whole demeanor changed as he stood partially in front of me. I watched as the two guys partially run inside. “We need to move. I don’t know how but there are rumors spreading that she is being kept here in these woods.” “This is my territory. How would anyone know that or even suspect it?” Waylon looked pissed. My heart was racing at all the different possibilities it could be. “Jasmine?” I asked Waylon. “She thinks I went to Washington to file some taxes.” “Do you have a tracker on you?” I pushed. “She isn’t that smart.” “Are you going to take a chance with my life on that?” I pushed. He looked at me before going through his pockets. “I don’t see anything.” “Regardless. We need to move. Burn everything that shows she was here. Ezra will stay being as if he i

    “Shh.” Waylon whispered in my ear so low that I barely missed it. My back arched as my head landed on his shoulder. Absent mindlessly, my arm snaked around his neck as his hot breath moistened my neck. A shudder of satisfaction ran through me. “Waylon.” I whispered back. My legs already started shaking in anticipation. Waylon wrapped his other arm around my waist and pulled me back, deeper into the cave. I think the men left but all I could focus on was his hands touching me. “Do you like that?” “OH Waylon!” I moaned in his ear. “Yes, princess? Tell me what you want.” “Mark me.” I spoke without thinking. My mind was so fuzzy that it didn’t even register what I was saying until it came out. His whole body froze as my words sank in. Shit! “I’m sorry. I- I didn’t mean that. Heat of the moment.” I was so embarrassed that I pushed away from him. Fixing my pants and keeping my back towards him, I walked to the opening of the cave. Some distance between us felt good. Itwas killing me

  • Diamond Eyed Luna   Chapter 26

    Charlotte POV “Arrogant ASSHOLE!” Shoving away from him, I had to force myself to not blast him out of this fucking cave. Waylon laughed at me which just irritated me more. “Do you want to get on my back and I’ll climb down?” My eyes were glowing as I shoulder checked him. Not even giving him the satisfaction of issuing an insult, I just started climbing down. After all this time, he still thought of me as a little girl. A helpless damsel in distress. Well fuck that! The more Waylon keeps underestimating me, the more satisfaction I am going to get by shoving it in his face that I truly did not need him! Fuck him and his magic fingers! As soon as my feet hit the ground, I turned north and started walking. Waylon can catch up. Shouldn’t take too long with his massive ego. Not that I even knew where I was but he said north so I am going north. His footsteps were silent behind me but occasionally I would hear the squish of mud under his shoes. The night was silent as the rain had l

  • Diamond Eyed Luna   The End

    Thank you to everyone for reading Diamond Eyed Luna! This was an idea I had dreamed about and was really excited to write this. As always, I do try to read each comment left and respond. I am beyond blessed to be able to share my stories with you. Due to my surgery and life with a toddler, I am taking June off to focus on my family and my healing. However, I am currently writting my next book. Keep a watch out at the end of June as I will be back posting like normal in July. I am still deciding on a name for the book but right now I am thinking it will be called Tattoo Luna. As far as the series with Royal Gems, I am putting that on the back burner for now. If you have read them, you know each book stands on it's own. I have a few books that I want to get out before I revisit this series. Many have asked for a sequal to Opal Eyed Luna and that is on my list to do as well. Thank you all for your support! Mrs. Smith

    “PUSH!” Waylon was standing beside me as was attempting to break his hand. The labor has been going on for hours now and my body was on the edge of giving up. “I can’t!” I groaned. My entire body was exposed as the male doctor had his face inches off my vagina. This whole thing was uncomfortable. Two nurses were holding my legs up. “On more big push!” My eyes were closed since I had no motivation to watch four different people stare at my vagina. It was actually quite distracting. “You got this, momma.” Waylon whispered in my ear. “Where is Jessica?” I half cried from the burn. “In with Nova and Axel.” Waylon answered for me. “She-she isn’t doing well.” There was a tone to Waylon that caught my attention. Peaking my eyes open, I looked into the concern filled eyes. “Queen Hailey, I’m sorry but if you don’t push this baby out, we will have to do a c-section.” The doctor showed little sympathy for my current position. “Come on, you can do this!” Waylon plastered on a determine

  • Diamond Eyed Luna   Chapter 100

    Hailey POV I was about to lose hope when something reached out and grabbed my foot. The girliest scream escaped my mouth, letting all the air out from my legs. My body was being pulled further under the water. At one point, I tried to kick but something sharp pierced my ankle. It was only when I started to rise again, that some hope filled my burning lungs. Whatever was holding me, pushed me upward. I listened as the need for air was becoming more and more intense. Once when black spots started clouding my vision did my head break the surface. Air plunged into my lunges as I inhaled deeply. It burned going down. My arm caught a rock’s edge that I clung to. Breathing deeply, I watched as a figure lifted himself out of the water and to the edge. “Ky.” “I told you to swim down!” He chastised me. “No, you did not.” Glaring, I pulled myself up so I was sitting on the ledge too. “Where are we?” “Underground tunnel. It leads to my bedroom. Let’s go.” Ky stood up and without waiting f

    My wolf didn’t even hesitate. Positioning herself behind Thomas, she allowed the guards to have full view. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ky pick up the chest with his mouth and slowly start making his way to us.“I said, DON’T MOVE!” A warner shot fired, hitting the tree by my head. There were so many things I could have said in this situation but she didn’t like any of them. Instead, she took her claw and sliced across Thomas’s neck so deep that I swear she hit his spine. Blood sprayed but we didn’t stick around to find out. Before his body even dropped, we were running full speed. The sounds of bones breaking and gun fire went off behind us. Ky was running beside us but since the woods were so thick, he wasn’t at full speed. More than once, bullets connected in a tree, right where our head used to be. I was struggling to remember the path that Ky told me but my wolf didn’t seem too concerned. Ky was staying beside us but if we were to get separated… Thunder started echoin

    “Yes.” “You and I both know what kind of sadistic person James was. It was either kill or be killed. Women get beaten, raped and tortured in his pack if they don’t do as James asked. I’m assuming she had her fair share of hard lessons before she just did what he asked. Did she ever come out and tell me about it, no. Do I think she ever did it willingly, no. Do I think she did them, yes. I have no doubt she carries that with her everyday.” “Does Axel know?” Ky asked.“I’m not sure. When she found out who I really was, she turned her back to me. It was only after she learned the truth that she realized she was wrong. By that time, damage was done. We haven’t had much chance to catch up. Jessica and the boys really did a number on our lives.” “Do you regret it?” Ky asked.“Regret what?” Or like, which part.“Finding Waylon?” “I was living on borrowed time anyway. Thomas had pictures of us in his closet, he knew where I was this whole time. Not sure if he knew who Nova was though.” “

    “Waylon?” “James is here.” His voice was furious as he stepped away from me. “WHAT?” Standing up, all sexual tension was gone. “Yeah.” Waylon grabbed my arm and we both jumped in the shower. Moving in unison, I shampooed my hair while he washed his body and then we flipped. It worked so well that we were done in three minutes. “Why?” I asked as I towel dried my hair as we made our way to our clothes. “He won’t tell the guards.” Waylon sounded pissed. Grabbing a cotton dress, Waylon slipped on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I was braiding my hair as we walked out the room. “If we start fighting, you need to get to safety. I can’t focus if I am worried about you. If I am fighting James, I need all my focus.” “I’m not arguing about this with you. I will not run from a fight but I will stay out of the middle.” That was my only compromise. Axel was waiting at the front door when we got there. “Nova?” I asked as we walked outside. “Save.” Axel only said one word but his eyes spo

    “Shit!” Axel’s knees buckled as he let go of my arms, Taking advantage of his position. My arms wrapped around his neck from behind. Keeping my body away from his was the only way this was going to work. His hands were on the ground. Moving my body as far away as possible, I tried to put as much distance between us. Unfortunately, Axel grabbed under my arms and lifted me up. He flipped me over, forcing me to let go or rip my arms from their sockets. Landing on my feet, Axel had went to a knee. Since his back was towards me, I sprung into action. Jumping up, I landed on his back and wrapped my legs around his neck. Trying to put him into another submission role. Axel was able to get a hand under my leg before I started squeezing so he pried my legs open. Axel grabbed my hip and pulled me around to face him. “Fucking worm.” He muttered as he tried to put both of my wrist in one of his hands. As much as I tried to fight against him, he moved his legs and placed it over my hips. Not so

    I took a back seat in my mind as my wolf came forward. She jolted forward when the gun went off. Using only my arms, she scaled the wall with easy. One hand on top of the other, she reached the top and kept the momentum and tossed my legs over it. Landing on one knee, she kept going. The crowd was cheering in the background but she was ignoring them. Instead, she focused on each step we took and how the ground felt under my feet. She really wanted to transform but settled for this. The dummies were standing in front of her. The first one she was able to pull my arms in and slip around. Rotating my body 90 degrees, she was able to slip around the next one. Dropping to a squatting position, she slipped under another. Pivoting, she took a wide step as she avoided a rather aggressive looking dummy. As she shifted again, my hair caught one of the barbwires but she didn’t stop. Instead, she allowed my hair to be ripped out. Fuck, that hurt but it didn’t faze her. She instantly dropped

    “So, she needs to earn your respect, huh?” Waylon’s voice came from around the corner. All three of them had the decency to bow their heads as they allowed Waylon to enter the kitchen. His arms were folded over his chest and his voice was deadly calm. It even sent shivers down my spine but I found it pleasurable. “A-alpha.” One of the guys stuttered. “Answer her question. Damian, Scott and Mark right? You three are new to the warrior team. Interesting you are questioning my decision about the right person to be Luna.” None of them answered Waylon. Instead, they kept their faces downward. “Sounds like they need a reminder what it means to be a warrior.” I said as I popped a blackberry in my mouth. All three of them stiffened. I wasn’t sure exactly what Waylon did to make people achieve in order to become a warrior but it’s never an easy thing. “Interesting. Have them redo warrior training?” Waylon repeated. “Can she even do it?” One of the guys had the balls to ask. The other tw
