Renee’s POV“Never!” I brought my head forward banging it into Elizabeth’s, she loosened her grip, and I pushed forward. I grabbed her arm with the sword in it and twisted it around until she dropped the blade. Then I brought my elbow up knocking her in the nose. I needed a weapon to use against her, I looked around on the ground but didn’t see anything. “Luna here!” Klaus shouted about to toss a stake through the air. Elizabeth smiled at me through the blood on her face, with supernatural speed she ran over to Klaus. “No!” I shouted, but I was too late. Elizabeth took advantage of his open stance, she thrust her hand into his chest pulling out Klaus’s heart before he even had a chance to throw the stake. I fell to my knees as his body dropped to the ground. The wooden stake rolling across the rock ground after being released by his limp hand. “This fight is between Renee and Me! If anyone interferes you will meet the same fate!” Elizabeth shouted to everyone else despite her warn
Luna Renee’s POVIt has been over a month now since the battle at Hawthorn Pointe and I haven’t heard from Esther since she brought Elizabeth’s body back to her father, although Esther told me to expect that as it would take them time to make decision and Esther wouldn’t be allowed to contact me in the meantime.It was nerve racking not knowing what to expect, but I have thrown myself into pack business to do my best to distract myself. Today was my official Luna Ceremony and it was beautiful, Victor was in attendance as he decided to stay close to me, it has been fascinating getting to know him and everything he has seen over the years, several members of the pack were uneasy having a vampire around to begin with, but Victor’s inviting personality won them over in no time. I have reason to suspect we will have to go to Grey Lake soon for another Luna Ceremony, but Amber hasn’t announced it yet. She is truly happy with Alpha Timothy and with Amber’s help the Grey Lake pack in finally t
Luna Renee’s POVI awoke the next morning in pure bliss, I sat up in the bed, Ethan was still sleeping soundly next to me. I glanced around the nearly destroyed room. I don’t think there was a single surface we didn’t utilize in last night's festivities. My body felt both sore and delicious. I decided to go make us some breakfast, I wrapped the sheet around me and headed down to the quaint kitchen. The refrigerator was fully stocked in preparation. I grabbed a can of biscuits and preheated the oven; in the meantime, I pulled out some bacon and started frying it in a pan. A few minutes later the oven dinged and a slid the biscuit inside to bake. I finished up the bacon and started cooking the eggs in the same pan. They were just about done, when I felt Ethan’s arms slide around my body. “Good morning, beautiful” his voice still sounded husky from waking up and it made my knees feel weak. “Aww I was going to bring you breakfast in bed.”“If I see you anywhere near that bed, the last
Esther’s POVIt has been a couple weeks since the events at Hawthorn Point, Elizabeth’s body is on ice until I can gather as much evidence as I can as quickly as I can, the Elder Council has been helping, but I know time is of the essence, and I fear I am just about out. Dimitri the head of the Vampire High Council and Elizabeth’s father was undoubtably already investigating the death of his daughter, since when she died, so did countless other vampires she had sired, and it was only a matter of time before that investigation led them to the New Lunar Pack and to Renee, who I was becoming quite fond of. I had been at the Elder Council for several days now, held up in the library with Elder Chase compiling all of the evidence, we could find of Elizabeth’s crimes against werewolves.I will say the library here was quite beautiful, dark oak bookshelves lined the walls in the common area. The common area had several tables that matched the bookshelves that also featured computers to make
Esther’s POVThe drive to the New Lunar Pack was a pleasant one, it started with land so flat you could see for miles in every direction, then it turned into rolling hills covered in forest vegetation. When I reached the pack territory, I drove up to the gate rolled down my window and they recognized me right away, opening the gate without me even having to say a single word. When I got to the pack house Renee and Ethan were both waiting at the door to greet me. I hopped out of the car to greet them as well. “It’s so good to see you!” Renee said excited as she came down the steps to give me a hug. I wasn’t usually the hugging type, but with Renee there really wasn’t any use arguing about it, some people are beautiful lights in the darkness of this world and Renee was one of those people. “You too” I answered hugging her back.“Hello, Esther” Ethan greeted, he was still a little mad at me, for my vague phone call and ‘putting him through hell’ according to him. I didn’t let it bother
Esther’s POVMy flight was fifteen hours long with one stop on the way, I don’t sleep very often but I was ready to crash after this day. I wasn’t able to sleep on the plane, but I was really looking forward to my hotel bed. I arranged for an Uber to bring me to my hotel and a service to bring Elizabeth’s remains to a storage facility until I was ready to deliver them to her father. Rome held many memories for me, several of them were happy but in contrast some of my darkest memories stemmed from this city as well.In my younger years I played with some dark magic here, the kind of magic that threatened to claim my very soul, it was without a doubt the lowest point in all my existence. I am sad to say I fell into it as a rebound or distraction from my heart breaking, because of the very man I was going to see. When I first met Dimitri, I fell head over heels for him and I thought he felt the same, over time I realized I would never hold his heart the same way that he held mine. Now lo
Esther’s POV“It’s been a long time since I seen you last.” Silas said looking me over.“Yes, it has been a while, and might I say you look like you are starting to get some wrinkles.” I winked and giggled a bit.“Oh Really? well we can’t all be immortal, why exactly are you immortal anyways, you still haven’t told me, I don’t know why you won’t tell me, if you did, I could be immoral too.” “Silas, I like you too much to wish immortality on you.” There was only one person I had ever told that story to and I didn’t plan to ever repeat it to another soul. “Believe me the average four-hundred-year lifespan of a witch or warlock is more than enough.”“Yes, but I will have you know, I just turned one hundred and ninety-one, so I only have approximately two hundred years left, and I don’t think that is quite enough.” He stopped talking for just a second before following up with “No, no two hundred years isn’t enough, you will have to tell me your secret, it isn’t fair you know?” he was no s
Esther’s POVI awoke the next morning to the sound of the door closing as Silas returned to the hotel room with some coffees, biscuits, and pastries. “I do believe, I love you, Silas” I said in a joking tone.“Well, I am pretty irresistible.” He joked back“Especially when you are carrying food and coffee.” I smiled at him and sipped on the coffee “So what did you hear this morning?” “You are not going to like it, but apparently Dimitri has already learned you are back in town.”“What how?”“Apparently, he has someone check every flight for you and your known aliases. What exactly happened between you two that he would do something like that?” Silas’s eyes were practically glowing with joy at his newfound information. “Damn it, I knew I should have got new papers” I huffed, I really didn’t think Dimitri would have anyone checking on me after all these years, but I guess I was wrong. I could feel a tiny sliver of my heart warm at the thought that he was still thinking about me. I sho
