Chapter 43 – Return

Diesel’s POV

I was seated in the back of the Escalade, looking down at Lucy’s beautiful sleeping face. Her head was resting on my chest and my hand was rubbing circles on her belly. She was always at ease listening to my heart drumming.

Dawn was breaking on the horizon. We had about two hours left, and our caravan of black SUV’s made its way towards Dark Moon territory. Max was driving and Payton was sleeping in the front passenger’s seat. My mother was Luna of Dark Moon and was buried there. We held a funeral at Crescent Moon for my father yesterday and he would be buried this afternoon next to my mother at Dark Moon.

It’s been three days since the war. Lucy spent the first two days sleeping. Tapping into her full power was exhausting and grief weighed heavy on all of us. Looking down at her face and those full cherry lips, I’m reminded of the first time she took my breath away. The first day I pulled her out of that river after she had escaped from Dark Moon. Now

    Two years laterEpilogueThe summer was coming to an end and we were enjoying one last family picnic before the fall weather set in. Crescent point had become one of my favorite spots in the territory. This was the exact spot Diesel brought me to on our first date, when he saw Lia for the first time.Diesel was entertaining our son’s with water using his element. The water flowing from the waterfall was dancing and swirling in the air. The show was wonderful, and the boys were squealing and clapping. Knox was born first, and Peter followed ten minutes later. We named the twins after both of their grandfathers.I sat under the tree with our newest pup at my breast. She was a demanding little thing and needed to be fed on a schedule. Like our boys, baby Raven also had the signature LaRue jet black hair and blue eyes. I looked down to admire her beautiful little face and felt the tingling gaze of my mate on me. I could always feel Diesel’s gaze when he looked at me.Diesel leaned down an

    Chapter 2 – DormAfter a twelve hour flight, I finally set foot in Athens. My father had hired a private escort to take all my luggage and I to theuniversity dorm. I exited the terminal and was greeted by asmiling man who instantly recognized me. I assume my father had sent a photo.“Ms. LaRue, how nice it is to see you again.” He said. “I’m sorry, do I know you?” I asked.“I’m Kosta, I was your families escort when you vacationed here two years ago and took you to Santorini.” He told me.“Of course, now I remember. You stopped to get us theSouvlakia when I was hungry.” I remembered him. He was more than an escort; he was a wolf and built like a house.“I have all your luggage on the cart, shall we?” He led the way. “Thank you.”“Are you hungry, we can stop and get you some Souvlakia?” He asked. I was starving and grilled meat is exactly what anywerewolf would like.“That

    Chapter 3 – New Friends“Something strange is going on here.” Rae said to me.Someone scented me as a wolf, but I couldn’t pick up on any wolf scents. I lifted my head up and slowly stood up to look at the female. She had that uh-oh look on her face while Leo had an uncomfortable grin.I looked at Leo with my eyebrow arched and gave him a questioning head tilt. “Why can’t I scent you?” I asked.“Hi, I’m Rocky.” Said the female who looked to be about the same age with long brown hair and big hazel colored eyes.“I’m Raven.” I said.“You have a strong Alpha aura radiating!” Rocky said as she stepped closer with a curious look on her face.“Why can’t I scent you? Are you using magic?” I asked.“Leonidas and I are from the same pack in the Northeasternregion of Greece. There are only five packs in Greece; northeast, north, central, Sparta and Crete. Athens is neutral but it doesn’t mean that some

    Chapter 4 – HowlI’m not sure what I was expecting but all of the sudden I felt like the boogeyman might bust into my room at any moment.I got up again and checked to make sure the door was locked and then padded over to the window. I was on the sixth floor, it’s not like someone was going to climb up. I laid down and hugged my pillow close. I had wolf hearing, why was I being paranoid.I replayed what Eros had told me and thought about the chill that ran through my spine when the growl ripped through the club. Did he notice me or sense my power? Was he upsetbecause I was an alpha born wolf in his territory? But wait, Athens was neutral, and he didn’t get close enough to fully sense me. Maybe I’m just over thinking things.Perhaps Eros was just trying to scare me, it’s not like we had been at the club that long for anyone to really notice me. Iturned and tossed a bit more. This entire dorm room was tiny compared to m

    Chapter 5 – SightsThis was yet again another night I spent turning and tossing in my dorm room. Leo had explained that the forest is usuallypretty quiet on a Saturday night. Athens has so many otherdiversions to offer, that even the other wolves are usually too distracted to be out running.I rolled out of bed and made my way to the tiny kitchenette tostart breakfast. The hot plate was now warmed up and I dropped a few slices of bacon in it, when it was done, I scrambled twoeggs and sliced a pear.The sun was peeking through my curtains and I sat on my bedeating my breakfast. Today was a good day to venture out to the new Acropolis museum and take in some sights. After I washed my dishes, I took a shower and got ready for the day. I slipped on a long maxi dress that Aunt Megan had picked up fromShari’s Designs for me. It was dark blue with brown and cream flora designs and really made m

    Chapter 6 – Odd It’s been two weeks since the start of class and the professors have been moving at a fast and unrelenting pace. Leo and Rocky are second year students, so I don’t have any classes with them. Angela sat across the table from me in the library, she’s my assigned partner for a project we’re working on. It was getting late and I wanted to have some dinner before I went to bed. Angela was a great partner and is actually in the same dorm on the second floor. We left the library and started walking back towards the dorms. “I’m going to stop and pick up some food at the corner restaurant, do you want anything?” I asked her. “I’m good thanks. My roommate picked up a pizza, so I’m going to head back.” She said. “Sounds good, I’ll see you on Monday.” I said to her and stepped inside the restaurant. Ten minutes later, I had a takeout box with some meat filled moussaka and walked the remaining block alone to the dorms. It was Friday night and the dorms were p

    Chapter 7 – Delphi “Know Thyself.” Kosta read the Greek inscription at the front of the temple entrance as I stared up at it. “It’s one of the many Delphic commandments inscribed around here. There are one hundred and forty-seven of them, like words of wisdom; nothing in excess, obey the laws, respect your parents, worship the Gods.” He added. “Do you have a favorite one?” I asked him. “Be on your guard.” He replied. “Really? Is that really one of the commandments?” “Of course it is. Ancient Greeks were always at war or preparing for war.” He said. This ancient site was not only where the temple of Apollo was at; but also had numerous treasuries from different Greek tribes dedicated to several Gods in which tithings and tributes were offered to the Gods. Every time a Greek tribe won a war they paid homage to the Gods by erecting treasuries filled with offerings. We walked the sacred path and looked at statues, sanctuaries and alters. The area had lots of olive trees growing

They loved and adored Cassi beyond measure. She’s a beautiful, rambunctious clone of her father. The same laugh and mischievous glint in her eye. She has the same jet black hair and deep blue eyes that’s a strong LaRue family trait.She filled an empty hole in all of our hearts the day she was born. Storm would not have survived the loss of her mate if it wasn’t for our pup. She lived only for our pup.Like her father, Cassi has decided to play the Cello.

    Chapter 36 – MidnightThey returned from their run an hour later with smiles on their faces. My heart smiled seeing them in good spirits. We sat around the fire waiting for midnight.Lukas would need to step outside and take the potion under the full moon at midnight. No one was sure what to expect, if it would be painful or not. If it would really work and if Storm would finally be able to shift tonight. No one was leaving, they wanted to make sure everything was okay and be here to help Storm with her shift.I was seated on Lukas’ lap and listened while Alpha Dimitri shared funny stories from Lukas and Angelo’s childhood. He told us more about the pack in Greece and the other family packs. Then he made baby name suggestions.“Five minutes to midnight.” Angelo announced and my heart fluttered. “Storm, are you ready?” I asked her but she didn’t reply. I could feel hertension.We made our way outside and everyone looked up at the sky. It was a clear and beautiful night. My eyes instan

    Chapter 35 – Full MoonI was having a good morning so far. Lukas cooked breakfast for me and I was still able to keep it down. Though I can’t say the same about my head, it’s still heavy from the concussion, and if I move it too fast I get dizzy. For the most part I feel pretty good. Doctor Edwards removed the stitching yesterday and I was finally able to wash my hair. Well, actually, Lukas washed my hair for me.He spoke with Magnus yesterday who agreed to brew another transfer spell which will take twenty-four hours. Lukas still intends to take the potion tonight when the moon is full. Storm is anxious and worried about Luke being bound for an entire month before Lukas’ Great Uncle Ranger takes the second potion to transfer the curse to himself. He will have to wait until the next full moon, and I hope we are able to break the curse.It’s very admirable for his Uncle Ranger to willingly take the curse from Lukas. He’s a very strong Alpha, even in his old age. I remember what Lola ha

    Chapter 34 – TimeLukas POV“Please Moon Goddess, take me instead. I know I don’t deserve her, but if you ever hear my prayers, hear them now. Please let her be okay... please.” I prayed. I’ve been praying for three days now.Doctor Edwards had come with us to Sapphire Moon to help tend to any wounded wolves. Unfortunately, Syble was the only one really injured. That bastard had cracked her head open and I almost lost her. Syble was so weak and she had lost a lot of blood. Her healing was slow because she’s never shifted. Doctor Edwards had to stitch her up and stabilize her before we could transport her back in an SUV my father took from Sapphire Moon.Luke has been inconsolable and I’m no better. She looked so weak and pale, I couldn’t even tell if she was getting better or worse. We brought her back to the infirmary at Blue Mountain and she’s been connected to all types of wires and tubes. Doctor Edwards kept her under sedation to help her rest and recover but stopped sedating her

    Chapter 33 – Sunrise“Syble that was amazing!” Beta Finn said to me as the warriors from Sapphire Moon ran back.“She’s just as talented as we thought she’d be. I’ll meet you all inside, I need to call Alpha Diesel and update him. Then call my son, Alpha Troy, and let him know we’ll be taking his warriors to conquer Sapphire Moon at sunrise.”“Where is Alpha Troy?” I asked before I could even stop myself. We’ve been here almost two weeks and had yet to see him.“He took my place on the shifters council a few years back, he’s currently in Jordan trying to track a prophet named, Duja. We’re hoping she can help us with the last piece of the golden prophecy my mother gave.” He told us and stepped inside.“My mate and I are going to return to the cottage and put some dry clothes on. We’ll be back in twenty minutes to meet with Alpha Trevor.” Lukas told everyone and shifted back into wolf form.I climbed up on Luke and wrapped my arms around his neck. He took off running and we reached the

    Chapter 32 – BreathlessIt’s been over a week and Alpha Dimitri has trained with me every day. Today we’re working on lightning bolts caused by electrostatic when I shift hot and cold air in the atmosphere. Alpha Dimitri set up points for me to target.Luna Raven had asked Alpha Trevor for complete privacy during my training and told him I was having a difficult time focusing with anyone observing. To ensure no one was watching us, Angelo and Camille took Arlo and Cami out to run the perimeter of the training area. Angelo’s wolf, Arlo, is large and chocolate brown like his eyes. Camille’s wolf, Cami, is brown with white paws and a white bib.I’d be lying if I said Storm wasn’t jealous. She wanted nothing more than to run with her Alpha mate and mark him. Angelo and Camille marked each other earlier this week. While everyone was happy for them, I could feel Storm’s despair.The sky was gray with heavy clouds, Alpha Dimitri believed I could impact the air temperatures enough to impact r

    Chapter 31 – TrainingIt felt wonderful waking up in the familiar cottage under thick warm blankets that my grandmother had quilted. Lukas stirred awake when I tried to slip away to use the toilet.“What would you like to do today?” He asked me. “We should start with breakfast at the pack house.”“Can’t we just stay here for breakfast and I can nibble on you?” “Your father is training me today. You can nibble on me later.”“Just an ear or breast, maybe a thigh?” He grabbed me and pulled me back down on the bed.“Come on, I don’t want to be late.” I told him and we rolled out of bed and got dressed.We took the jeep back to the pack house and joined everyone for breakfast. Lukas pulled me to his lap and fed me, he wanted to make sure I had plenty of energy to train today. Luna Raven seemed to beam with happiness.“Alpha Dimitri, Beta Finn has secured the east end of the territory for you to train at all morning. There's a big open field. You should be free of disruptions and curious fa

    Chapter 30 – MemoriesLukas POVBeta Finn was kind enough to show us to our suite and our luggage had already been brought up. I pulled the covers back on the bed and set Syble down. I removed her shoes and pulled her jeans off. She laid back on the pillows and I covered her up.“Can I get you anything?” I asked her.She shook her head but made no noise. I could feel the distress coming from her and her thoughts were swirling around. I closed the curtains, then undressed and slipped into bed with her, pulling her to my chest. Her little body started shaking, as she sobbed. All I could do was offer my comfort. Luke was howling seeing his mate in so much pain.“It’s okay Luke,” she managed to whisper. “It’s going to be okay.”She never ceases to amaze me, here she is, in so much pain and she’s trying to comfort my wolf. Luke was trying his hardest to take control, he craved her affection and attention too.“You can release Luke.” She said.“You want me to let him have control?” I asked.

    Chapter 29 – AnswersWe boarded the jet which was surprisingly bigger than I thought it would be from the outside. The inside was lined with rich leather and fine wood veneers. It had several big leather seats that reclined back for sleeping, tables, flat screen televisions, a tiny kitchen area and even a bathroom with a shower.We had eaten breakfast at the hotel before we left but Luna Raven also had snacks delivered to the plane. Our flight time is about two hours and the plane will be landing in Utica, which is in upstate New York. Once we land, we’ll be traveling by car the remaining sixty miles into the Adirondack mountains. Sapphire Moon occupies the north east part of the vast mountain range and Blue Mountain was more south west. It was easier to land in Utica and avoid Sapphire Moon all together.“Oh, we won’t be avoiding them. Once we get this curse broken, I have some unfinished business at that pack.” Lukas mind linked me. He had obviously been listening to my thoughts.“Y
