Fighting Destiny: Red Moon Pack (Book 1) Prologue
“Thank you, Miss Franklin. I’ll tell mom you need to talk to her,” I assured as I walked out of the general store.Miss Franklin is the little grey-haired lady who owned the store. It was more than just a small grocery store to this little town. It was also the gas station, video rental, and a deli-style sandwich shop.Besides the bait shop and canoe rental next to the river two miles away, it was the only business in our town.Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas is a tiny town in neutral territory.It’s a town that has a great sense of community and it’s very close-knit.My parents always told me they didn’t like being in their old pack because the alpha didn’t pay the omegas for their work and treated them like dirt.They always told me that if I ever wanted to join a pack, make sure to ask if the omegas are paid.That was a good way to tell if it was a good pack.My parents were loving and doted on me, as the only child, but they never spoiled me.As unaffiliated wolves, they couldn’t afford

I kept hearing a beeping sound.When I opened my eyes, the lights were way too bright so I put my hand over my eyes.I heard a sweet woman’s voice, “Hey, sweetheart, you’re awake! Let me dim the lights a little for you.”The voice sounded so familiar, but I couldn’t place it.I slowly opened my eyes and found an older couple sitting on either side of the bed.I remembered seeing both of these people at my last birthday party, “Grandma?” I asked then turned to the man, “Grandpa?”They both nodded.Grandma asked, “How are you feeling, sweetheart?”“Thirsty. The rogues killed mommy and daddy. Didn’t they?” I croaked. I knew they were dead, I just needed to hear it from someone else.As soon as I saw the worried look on each of their faces, I knew they were dead.My grandmother poured a cup of water for me and put a straw in it while my grandfather kissed my forehead.Their hands were warm and comforting.As I was drinking, I was informed by grandpa that they had made arrangements for me

Life after losing my parents was hard, but I quickly learned to move on. Having my grandparents and Isaac by my side helped me to move on more than I ever imagined possible. When I started Junior High School, five young ladies barged into my personal space and never walked out. My best friends, Wendy, Paula, Mandy, Chrystal, and Kari ran with me every morning, no matter the weather. With time, we started running five miles every school day and ten miles one day a week. I came to love that burn in my muscles after a run. It became one of my favorite ways to get rid of the images that plagued my memories and dreams of my parents. It was a constant fight to keep them beaten to the back of my mind. That caused a lot of anger issues that used to happen occasionally. Alpha Kenny and Isaac started running with us on weekends when they had time. Isaac and I were still considering each other friends, but my feelings for him had never changed. I had sensed the same with him. I could feel

Zariah’s POV~Three Years Later~“This is a really boring job.” Isaac whined. He and I have been practicing gymnastics with his cousin, Abby, for the last couple hours. Abby and I had been using him as our spotter.I laughed as I stood at the end of a very long mat, “You think it’s boring? Okay, spot me. You might want to start up here and keep up with me.”I waited for him to stand slightly ahead of me, and to the side. I started with three back handsprings and ended with a very high triple flip on the way to the mat, landing on my feet.Isaac kept yelling, “Wait up!” When I went airborne with my triple flips, he yelled, “How am I supposed to spot that?”As I landed, I laughed, “Just don’t let me fall. That’s all. Like this. Be ready. I am going to mess up on purpose and you need to catch me.” He was very serious as he nodded, “Okay.” I extended my arms over my head and started to go into a back flip, but I didn’t complete it.I jumped high and basically laid flat. He caught me with

I woke with a start and looked around in the dark.I could hear glass breaking from the first floor and voices on the second floor. My first thought was, “Again?”I called Alpha Kenny and whispered, “I need you to come over… quickly. It sounds like there are more than three people this time. They are on both floors.”Alpha Kenny answered, “We’ll be there in a minute. Don’t do anything until we get there.” I quietly got out of bed and crawled to the master bathroom, whispering “I’m in the master bathroom. I’ll be listening for you.”As I sat there on my bathroom floor, I kept hearing footsteps upstairs.Then, there was one thing that stood out to me: I didn’t smell the usual smell of weeks-old garbage that rogues normally carried on them.I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but it did sound like there was a clear leader among them.As minutes passed, I heard one ask if they opened every door… including closets.I could tell there was at least one in my bedroom because I heard him

Selene continued, “You and your mate will be able to combine your powers to help your warriors defeat the witches.“There are also a couple other packs who want to take Onyx and you for their own benefit.“Depending on the alpha’s choices and your pack’s success in preventing his warriors from going back, you will only have up to one year to prepare for that war.“It’s hard to tell with one of them. He’s not the brightest of my children and he is very unpredictable. I would give him a second chance mate, but he is a very cruel man too. He has been slowly turning feral since his mate was killed ten years ago. I’m afraid I’m going to have to take his wolf from him soon. His wolf does not deserve this.“The other alpha is just a very greedy man and always has been. He rejected his mate in order to take a chosen mate for more power.“He is also very cruel to the omegas in the pack. You may have less time to prepare for him. Alpha Kenny is doing the right thing by keeping warriors around y

Isaac POVI have been watching over Zariah since she came to our pack. She was so badly injured; I was scared to death that she would die. I have always been drawn to her. I wanted nothing more than to stay next to her in the hospital until she was better.When she got out of the hospital, I spent all day, every day, at her side, taking care of her. I would help her to any room she wanted to go to and her grandma would giggle at the sight of us.I think I was just looking for a reason to hold her hand. I’m sure her grandma knew we were mates even when we were that little.I spent all of my time in school keeping all the guys away from her. I just didn’t even want them looking at her. My parents got called to school a few times because I knocked another boy out. I got in trouble for hitting them. Not for watching over Zariah.In junior high, I backed off from hanging around her because there was a group of guys who, I heard through the grapevine, were trying to find a way to get in her

Isaac POVDad was smiling widely. I think that was when they both started offering to help her with more stuff. Dad offered to teach her to drive and mom asked her to help her plan a couple parties.I had to make mom back off because I wanted her to realize I’m her mate on her own. Although, I know it will be so hard to keep my hands off of her.Zariah. Even her name sounded like an angel’s name to me. She always looked like perfection to me. She is very fit, even though she can beat me on the amount of junk food she eats.She looks like an angel with her long, light brown hair. It has a natural wave to it that always draws my eye.Her emerald, green eyes have always captivated me. It’s so hard to act as a friend when those eyes make me want to hold on to her forever and her long legs make me want them around my waist as I lower her to my bed.My mate is so smart. She is going to be such a great luna. She is about to become our pack’s first female financial advisor and the youngest on

After Heather took the baby back to Aadi, I got out of bed and completed my morning routine, then went to the kitchen where I found Aadi’s twins in their highchairs and Aadi rinsing breakfast dishes and loading the dishwasher. I asked, “How do you ever tell Zayla no? She has me around her little finger.”Aadi chuckled, “It’s not easy. Those eyes will knock you on your ass every time.” I laughed, “Yes, they will. I’m surprised they are developing so fast.” Aadi sighed, “I know. They are doing a lot of things they shouldn’t be doing for months.” I suggested, “Maybe it has something to do with them being my babies’ protectors.” Aadi concurred, “I think you may be right. It’s just… a lot.”I sighed, “I don’t know how you’ve not gone crazy yet. I have a feeling mine may be the same way. I just don’t know why. Maybe we should ask the Goddess when we go to sleep tonight. Or I may try to remember to ask if I get to lay down for a nap today.” Aadi argued, “No ifs, lady, you are under strict ord

I chuckled, “Rolf, are you going to scold them?” He shook his head, “I can be gentle, mate. You should know that.” I laughed at his wolfy grin, “Yes, I most certainly do. I’ll just relax while you speak with our pups.” I laid back and watched as he lifted the T-shirt I was wearing and he got his face very close to my belly. He spoke in such a gentle and soothing voice that it almost made me cry happy tears.He soothed, “My little pups, you must be good to your mother. We need to do all we can to bring you into the world safely and keep your mother’s pain down as much as we can. She is a very good mother and she will be good to you. Both of you need to make sure you turn so that your heads are pointing down before you can be brought into the world. If you don’t, the doctor will have to cut your mommy’s belly and pull you out. She doesn’t want that for her or you. So, make sure you turn soon, so we can all be ready when the time comes. You are both beautiful babies and we can’t wait to h

Three months later, Isaac and I were at the doctor’s office and I was already huge. My belly felt so tight that it felt like it could bust open any day. Doctor Brawn walked into the room and asked, “How are you feeling?” I sighed, “Extremely uncomfortable. My belly feels very tight and my hips hurt.”She sighed, “Yeah, this part of the pregnancy is very uncomfortable, especially for first-time mothers. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can really do about that. A heating pad helps. Other than that, the only other thing I can suggest is over the counter non-aspirin pain relief. I would avoid Ibuprofen though. It thins the blood and you don’t want to have that in your system when the babies decide to make their appearance.” I sighed, “I figured that.”She asked me to lay back on the bed and I did as she requested. She did my examination first and smiled, “Well, Luna, your cervix is thinning, so you could go into labor soon.” I furrowed my brow, “Isn’t it too early?” She answered, “I woul

Isaac ordered, “Franco, take your mate to the hospital. I will get my mate out of bed and into her chair and we will be right behind you.” I rushed out of the bedroom, “Don’t wait on me. Just go. We are literally right behind you.” Franco ran at full speed with Aadi in his arms.Isaac moved behind me and started pushing my wheelchair at full speed through the halls. I asked Isaac, “Did you happen to link the doctor?” Isaac answered, “Franco already did that. The nurses will be waiting for him. I already told them to give her the Luna’s room.” I smiled as I looked up at him, “Thank you, love.”He smiled as he waggled his eyebrows, “You can thank me later.” I shook my head chuckling, “You are so naughty.” He leaned down to whisper in my ear, “But you like my naughtiness.” I chuckled, “I do, but the place for this particular conversation is not here.” He stood and laughed out loud, “I get it.”As soon as we reached the clinic, there was a nurse and a doctor waiting for them. Franco’s shak

That evening, at dinner, Heather asked, “So, mom, I’ve been waiting patiently all day. Are you going to tell us?” I looked at my mate and we both laughed. I answered, “I was wondering when you would ask. We are having a boy and a girl.” Heather smiled, “That’s perfect. Are you going to stop with them?” I shook my head, “No. The Goddess told me we will have a minimum of five.”Heather gasped, “Mom! Are you sure you will be able to handle it with your medical issues?” I smiled, “This is the Goddess’ plan for us. I will always follow her path for us. There are good reasons for each of them to be born, although I don’t know what they are yet.” Isaac added, “Besides, you know we love raising children. We had so much fun with you, Blaine and Lena.”Heather smiled, “Yeah, we did have fun. And you are young enough that you can still enjoy them. I keep forgetting that you guys were still teenagers when you adopted us. We are all so glad you did too.” I blew a kiss to her from across the table a

Three months later, Isaac and I were sitting in the doctor’s office waiting to get another ultrasound done. My doctor had been treating mine as a high-risk pregnancy because we didn’t know what was going to happen after all of my scar tissue was removed. We were hoping my uterine walls held up. Doctor Spink was certain that all was okay with it, but my doctor just wanted to keep an eye on it.When his nurse came out to get us, we went straight to our exam room and she smiled, “Your baby bump is already starting to get big. Are you planning to find out what you are having?” I chuckled, “Of course. We’re so excited. I really hope they cooperate.” She laughed, “Oh, trust me, we’ve met our fair share of uncooperative babies. We have our ways of getting the information we need.”She took my vitals and Isaac asked, “Can we please get a female doctor? It drives my wolf nuts to see a male doctor examining my mate.” She chuckled, “That’s a sign of a good mate. I can ask Amy, our nurse practitio

Six days later, I was in my office when Heather walked in and sat in one of the chairs across from me. I sat back in my chair and asked, “What’s up?” She smiled, “I just got back from getting my schedule and materials for school. I don’t need to take any of the Math classes, or the literature classes. I have to take at least one civics class and a bunch of electives to get my Associate of Science degree. I will be able to take the majority of my classes online too.”I raised my eyebrows, “That’s great, sweetie. What does your schedule look like?” She handed a piece of paper to me and I saw that she is doubling up on her credit hours. I asked, “Sweetheart, are you sure you want to take so many hours in classes?” She nodded, “I’m sure. These classes seem to be fairly easy. I think Chemistry and Biology might be a bit difficult, but not impossible.”I sighed, “Okay. I might be able to help some, but Aadi might be even more help. What is your civics class?” She answered, “I think it will b

Thursday evening, we all sat down for dinner, then we all noticed that Heather’s seat was empty. I asked, “Ben, have you heard from Heather yet?” Ben answered, “She called me at lunchtime. She said she may be late. She still had four more tests to take.”I nodded in understanding, “I bet she’s overthinking some questions. My daughter is most definitely a genius, but she does doubt herself a lot. Ben, you will have to keep that in mind and reassure her of her intelligence regularly.” Ben laughed softly, “She’s most definitely perfect for me. I tell her how smart she is all the time. She’s also a badass on the training grounds.”Isaac laughed, “Yes, she is. Just like her mother. Before Zariah was paralyzed, she could kick some serious ass. She put me on my ass more than once. She may not be able to use her legs anymore, but she can still pack a punch too.” I smiled, “The Goddess always puts us with our perfect partner.”Ben smiled, “I couldn’t agree more.” Blaine sighed, “Mom, Elizabeth

That evening, Isaac and I went home and found Aadi cooking dinner. I asked, “How are things with you? You look a tad bothered.” Aadi answered, “Not really bothered. Not mad either.” I laughed, “Okay. So, what’s the problem?”She answered, “Franco’s brother got here at around eleven this morning. As soon as they got out of the truck, Ben started sniffing the air and he hasn’t been able to stop. Franco has been so excited about it that he forgot to run to the store for me. I’m craving cookies and cream ice cream. I really wanted that for dessert.”I chuckled, “How about calling him now and asking him to stop?” She sighed, “I understand why he’s excited. His brother has scented his mate. He’s taking him all around the pack to see if he can find her. I’m just having a hormonal moment.” I looked back at Isaac and He chuckled, “On it.” He walked out the door and walked right back in.I furrowed my brows at him and he smiled, “I think I know who Ben’s mate is.” He ran upstairs and walked back
