In these next few chapters the POV changes often so please pay attention so you don't get confused! As always, thank you for reading!
Waylon POV “My fucking head.” I moaned. “What the fuck happened?” “Hailey happened.” Jessica was standing beside me, pushing something onto a tube. That tube was in my arm. “What’s wrong with Hailey?” It still sounded weird. “I don’t know what happened, Waylon. One minute you were fine and the next it was like you overdosed on wolfsbane.” Axel stated. Nova was in the corner just staring out the window. “The blood pack?” I asked, looking at Jessica. “I believe so. I think when you guys left, someone poisoned Hailey.” Jessica answered. “I can’t get through to Lilith. Waylon, she was with Hailey. There are only two options. Either Lilith drugged her or Lilith is in trouble too.” Axel firmly stated. “By treating you, I can treat Hailey. Well, that is if has anything to do with the blood. You guys share a blood so when she got poisoned, you did too. That’s why people don’t do blood packs anymore!” Jessica slapped my arm. “Hey! It saved Hailey’s life!” I answered as I closed my e
Waylon POV By the middle of the next day, Jessica had already given me four syringes of the antidote for wolfsbane. My body was literally exhausted. As much as we brain stormed the discomfort I was feeling, we could not figure out what she was doing. There was times when there wasn’t any pain for a few hours. Other than that, there was a constant sting of pain in my arm or legs. Occasionally, also in my head or back but that was random. We were sitting in my office when Axel barged in. “Look at the news!” Jessica quickly grabbed the remote and turned it on. ‘Breaking news! I am currently standing outside the palace where it has been confirmed that the newly appointed Queen Hailey has been kidnapped. Shortly after the alleged confession of former King Thomas, Hailey was grated an acquittal from her charges. The power was immediately transferred from Thomas to Hailey, making her queen. Quickly after, her attorney, Lilith St. Claire, took her up to her room for safety reason as Thomas
Waylon POV I was fucking pissed off. By the time I had made it to the territory in Iowa, the rain was pouring down. Ky thought it was best to invest in waiters to get through the territory without getting exposed to the wolfsbane. My fucking ass was walking for miles in the pouring rain, in a general direction that I wasn’t even sure was the right way. The smell of wolfsbane was enough to make me feel like I was being poisoned. I’m pretty sure there was more water in my waiters than on the fucking ground. When I got my hands on James, I was going to strangle his fucking ass. My socks were wet, my feet were cold and the water that was collecting made this walk ten times harder. Somehow, I was managed to stumble upon a cabin. It was tiny but still, there was footprints all around it. One small window allowed me to see in from the back. My heart sank to my stomach as I realized it wasn’t the place Hailey was being kept. No, this place had a couch and table in it. Maybe this was where
“Plus, you don’t have a son.” The lies she was telling me were really piling against her. “Yes, I do!” My hand wrapped firmly around the back of her neck. The force it took to shove her head down was minimal but the fear in her eyes as she looked at the wolfsbane soaked grass was huge. “Try not to lie to me again. Next time, I will be less forgiving.” I whispered in her ear. There would be fingerprint bruises around her neck. “It wasn’t like that! Thomas fucked everything up.” My stomach turned in disgust. How did I ever date her? “Why don’t you tell me what it is like, then.” Allowing her to stand back up, I gave her a gentle nudge to keep her moving. My head started to feel a little woozy. As my heart pounded, I knew what was going on. Reaching into my pockets, my fingers wrapped around the syringe. Lilith was walking away from me but I wasn’t able to make out her words. Biting the cap, I was able to pull it the needle free and stab myself in the shoulder before it got wors
Hailey POV “This fucking sucks.” I moaned as I sat there. My legs were exhausted. At one point, the branch I was standing on broke and I fell. The toxin was unforgiving as I landed on my back. Even though I was quick to get up, it still took any strength I had gotten back. Currently, I laid on my back, in this massive tree. To my right was a cliff side. To my left was a river. Straight ahead was even thinner forage that I didn’t believe would hold me. At some point, I must have gotten turned around. The affects of the toxin were swimming in my brain but it was fading. Not as quickly as I hoped but still was. The sun was shinning, finally. The dress I had on was torn but still covered the main parts. Maybe I should just lay here until I get my wolf back. Then I can transform into her and this would be much easier. What a cruel world I live in. I was queen for like an hour before I wasn’t again. The sound of a twig snapping caught me off guard. Every instinct in my body told me to h
“Waylon?” His eyes were closed and his jaw was clenched shut but he held onto me. Never once letting go. My hair whipped my face as the helicopter went higher and further away. Trees turned into green blurs but the bullets stopped coming. Suddenly, the rope jerked. I could barely see from all the wind but it looked like the helicopter was getting closer. “Hold on, baby. Almost there.” Waylon tried to sooth me. “Keep your heart calm. Breath slow deep breaths.” I yelled to him. The whole bottom part of his shirt was sticky with blood. His head rested against the rope but his eyes stayed shut. “Give me your hand!” I heard above me. Looking up, two men with sunglasses and helmets were holding their hands out to me. “Take him!” I yelled as I grabbed his hand. “No.” Waylon opened his eyes and hoisted me up to them. It was so sudden that I jerked away and almost slipped out of their hands. Waylon made an sound that broke my heart. A painful growl echoed acrossed the valley. “HE’S BE
"Thank you.” I said as I took them. All my clothes needed to be trashed so I had no underwear or bra to wear but thankfully the scrubs fit decently. The pants I had to tighten but it was okay. Jessica pulled a hair tie off her wrist and put my hair up for me. “Not sure you are model worthy but better than before.” Jessica laughed. “I do need a shower.” I agreed. “Technically, you got a few showers with the rain, you just need soap.” Jessica teased as she wheeled me out of the room and down the hall. “What is our next steps?” I asked. The hospital was buzzing with activity. I got more than one glance as we made our way. A few times, it looked like they wanted to say something but didn’t. The doors to the WIC unit slid open for us. “What is WIC unit.” “Wolf Intensive Care.” Jessica stated, almost annoyed. “Ah.” We made our way to a room in the back. Waylon was strapped to multiple machines but his blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen were all stable. “As for your question
“Go?” I asked Jessica as she walked in, still clearly annoyed. “Yeah. Go take a shower. I am going to change his bandages. Hannah is getting supper.” Jessica bossed. “Want to tell us what happened?” I looked at her questioningly. “The bitch had the nerve to say that I was just being emotional and I should remove myself from the situation. Like I am the problem!” Jessica was tossing gloves around as she spoke. “Is she fired?” I asked as I got up. “Fuck yes she is fired! I got the last laugh there. Stupid cunt.” “Wow, the C word?” I asked as I grabbed the towel she tossed on the bed. “Yes the fucking C word!” Jessica glared. Looking at Waylon, “Good luck.” I mouthed as I walked into the bathroom. “Be gentle!” I heard him groan. Getting undressed, I laid the scrubs on the counter since I have to put them back on. Turning the shower on hot, I stepped in it. The whole thing felt amazing on my skin. It burned a little on my cuts but most of them were fading away. Placing my han
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
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
