Chapter 7 – Weak

I opened my eyes, I was alone, on the floor right where he left me. The clothes I had left hidden in the bush when I shifted were sitting on a chair in front of the fireplace. I really wanted to shower, to wash away his scent from my body, but I didn’t dare use his shower. I needed to get out of here.

I put my clothes on as fast as I could and left the cabin before Ranger came back. The cabin was by the lake on pack property and it was going to be about three miles back to the pack house. I started walking back along the path.

Alone with my thoughts, I wondered why the Moon Goddess cursed me. A mate is supposed to be the other half of your soul, made just for you, to love and protect you. Mine had just used me and threw me away, like I was garbage. Like I was nothing.

I heard Lia let out a low painful howl in my head. I could feel her pain. It wasn’t her fault, it was all my fault, I was weak. She’s probably going to leave me too. Everyone leaves me. Even my own mate

    Chapter 8 – Blankets & TowelsMax picked me up from the mud puddle and started running to the clinic. He mind linked Dr. Baker so she could meet us there. Dr. Baker was waiting at the door and directed Max to take me to room three. No one was at the clinic this early so she worked alone to treat me.“Is there anything I can do to help?” Max asked Dr. Baker.“I need to get her out of these clothes, please grab an arm full of heated blankets from the warmer by the nurse’s station.”I was stripped naked and under a sheet when Max came back with the blankets. They piled the blankets over me, and I stopped shivering after an hour. My wolf healing started to kick in and Dr. Baker brought me some hot chicken broth to sip.Max came into the room holding some clothes. “I thought you could use some dry clothes when you’re released, so I went to your room and picked some up.” He removed the blankets from me and replaced them with new blankets from the warmer. Then, he pulled up a chair and sat b

    Chapter 9 – FlamesI spent the rest of the afternoon and evening down in the laundry room washing, drying, folding and Ironing clothes for everyone who lived in the pack house. The storm continued to pour down, which means that most of the pack members were home all-day eating. There would be no scraps or leftovers for me today. They were having roasted chicken, potatoes and vegetables for dinner tonight, it smelled mouthwatering.I heard the basement door open and close, perhaps I was wrong? Maybe Ursa put some food in my dog bowl by the stairs after all. She never gave me food on a plate or silverware, she just dumped whatever scraps I was lucky enough to get into a dog bowl by the stairs.I looked towards the stairs and saw Ranger walking to the Laundry room in my direction. The closer he got the stronger his scent got. He’s holding a duffle bag in his hand and I assume he’s got laundry for me.“You can leave the laundry on the ground Alpha, I’ll get it.” I called out and turned my

    Chapter 10 – JealousIt’s been over a week since the night of the power outage, I haven’t seen Ranger around much. He’s been busy meeting with other Alpha’s about the recent rogue problems. Several packs have had similar attacks and it seems as though the attacks are all related. Unfortunately, since Max is the Beta, he’s been pretty busy with Ranger too, but he still finds the time to leave me food.This morning he left me a zip lock bag against the window that had two hard boiled eggs, four slices of bacon and a banana.“Mmmmmmm bacon, I love bacon.” Lia said practically drooling.I opened the bag and wolfed down the bacon. It was delicious. I cracked one of the hard boiled eggs, took a bite of it, and instantly felt nauseous. I spit out the egg in my mouth and couldn’t even swallow it. Normally I loved eggs, but yesterday Ursa dumped some scrambled eggs and leftover French toast in my dog bowl, after I ate it, I threw up. I assumed it was probably the scrambled eggs that didn’t agr

    Chapter 11 – PupMy head felt heavy and I groaned as I attempted to open my eyes. “Lucy, Lucy, can you hear me?” I heard A familiar voice call.My eyes fluttered open and Max’s worried face swam before me. “Mm- Max?”“Easy Lucy.” He helped me sit up. I was back in the laundry room, laying in my bed. The last thing I could remember was crashing into the coffee table. But, how did I get down here?Max continued to look me over, “Lucy, what happened?”I took a deep breath and recalled everything that happened earlier. “Ranger mind linked me after the meeting to come to his office, he was very angry about Alpha Jordan and lunch. He lost control, hit me and threw me into the coffee table.”“He rejected you, selected another Luna and is jealous when someone else looks at you.” Max said shaking his head.“How did I get back down here?”“I don’t know ... Ranger must have carried you back. I came to bring you dinner, but you’ve been out for hours.”“Mate just dumped us here, that jerk!” Lia hu

    Chapter 12 – DisrespectThe pack was gathering this evening for a meeting. The Alpha had some important updates and announcements, so everyone was required to be there. The sun was setting, and I made my way outside. The stage was setup and most people were already gathered around. I stood quietly in the back of the crowd, wishing I didn’t have to be here.I looked over to the other side of the field and saw all the young pups running around playing. My hand involuntarily went to my still flat stomach and I wondered if my pup would look like Ranger or more like me. There was a young pup jumping around, he was about four years old, with jet black hair like Ranger’s. I found myself smiling. It’s been three days since I found out I was pregnant, and I already loved my baby.“Testing, Testing.” Ranger’s voice pulled me out of my daydream. He was standing on the stage and his eyes scanned over the crowd.“Good evening Dark Moon Pack.”“Good evening Alpha.” The crowd called back.Ranger wen

    Chapter 13 – PicnicIt’s been nearly a week and my wounds have finally healed. I’ve spent most of my time in the basement trying to stay away from Ranger and Miranda. Lia has been itching to go for a run and today is the perfect day.Ranger has been away for a few days in the city managing the family’s software and security company. Last night, I felt the cheating pains through the mate bond and knew that Ranger was sleeping with someone else in the city while Miranda was still here. Miranda, who is completely oblivious to his cheating, was happily shopping with her minions today. Ursa, was out running errands and I was going to enjoy a little freedom today. Max is going to meet me beyond the tree line to go for a run so that we can avoid the patrols.“Coast is clear Lucy.” Max mind linked me. I went up the basement stairs and slipped out the kitchen back door.I walked into the woods and heard a rustling sound coming from behind a bush. A large dark brown wolf stepped out and I knew

    Chapter 14 – BurnThe pack house has been absolute madness with only a week left until the mating ceremony. I was cleaning guest rooms today and preparing them for guests who will be occupying them later this week. The room I was currently cleaning was the same room Alpha Knox had given me after my father’s death, when I came to live at the pack house. It serves as one of a dozen guest rooms now, while I sleep on a dog bed in the laundry room.With a towel in one hand and glass cleaner in another, I wiped down the mirror in the bathroom. Then I moved to the closet door that also had a full- length body mirror on it. I cleaned the mirror and stopped to look at my own reflection.I was wearing black stretch pants and a loose fitted brown sweater that complemented the amber colors in my eyes. I stared a moment later at my breasts which looked fuller and my hips that had slightly widened. I turned sideways and lifted my sweater up. A small bump was starting to show on my one month belly,

    Chapter 15 – The HoleTwo days to go, but who’s counting! I can almost taste freedom from here. Or maybe it was an omelet I could almost taste. Ursa was on her cellphone talking to the florist and cooking herself a late breakfast. I glanced over at the omelet and it was filled with ham, sausage and vegetables. Just the way she used to make them for my father.I was on dish duty again, washing the breakfast dishes. Ursa had been so busy preparing for the ceremony that she had not given me a scrap of food the last four days. If it hadn’t been for Max, the pup and I would both be starving.Ursa turned around to get a plate for her omelet and ended her phone call. “Awe, is the little mutt hungry?” She taunted me. Just two more days, I reminded myself. Two more days and I was done with her and her cruel behavior. I looked over at the flames on the stove and in an instant her omelet was on fire. Thick smoke billowed up in the kitchen. Bon Appétit, I thought to myself as people raced around

He doesn't like perfectly good moussaka to go to waste.” I laughed.“Are you going to finish yours or should I take care of that for you too?” Niko asked me.“Touch my plate and you might lose a few fingers.” I growled and shoveled the rest of the food in my mouth.Dimitri chuckled and kissed me on the side of my head. “Don't mess with a pregnant woman's food Niko, you shouldknow better by now after three pups of your own.”Kyros was our oldest, Damien followed two years later, they both looked just like Dimitri.

    Dimitri's POVChapter 41 – Finally“Relax, I just want to meet your little Raven.” He said with a sick smile.“He knows about mate.” Dom growled at me.“We need to make sure and end him this time.” I told Dom.He turned his head to the bird’s nest. “What a suitable place for a raven, in the bird’s nest! Tell me son, is the bird’s nest bullet proof? I can't seem to remember if we made it bullet proof when we built it.”I mind linked Spiro, “tell me you had the chance to line the bird’s nest with another layer of steel?”“I did Alpha, but they won't be shooting regular bullets. We've never tested it against silver bullets!” Spiro linked back.“You have ten seconds to surrender the pack to its rightful Alpha before we turn the bird’s nest into Swiss cheese!” My fatherdemanded.I was about to unleash Dom and lunge at him when an earthshaking growl, with intense power, ripped across the land andshocked everyone. Greeks were taught from a young age to fear and respect the power of the Go

    Chapter 40 – Attack“Be a good little bird and stay in the nest. Don't come out for any reason, understand?” Dimitri told me.“Okay.”“Keep the door locked from the inside. Don't open it for anyone. If you set one foot out this door, before I come back for you, I'm going to spank your bottom red!” He crashed his lips into mine.His kiss was hungry, demanding, and filled with emotion. The promise of another spanking sent an exciting quiver down my back. I couldn’t wait until this was over to spend time tangled up with him.“Please be careful.” I whispered as we broke away.“I'll be back as soon as this is over.” He said and closed the door to the nest.I was standing inside of a closet sized metal box, that wasperched on top of the roof of the pack house and looked out over the pack lands. The fire pits were burning bright, if someonedidn't know any better, they would just assume the fire pits were there to light up the grounds for battle.“Let's test the reach of our element.” Rae s

    Chapter 39 – RaceThe sun was setting as we raced back in the Jeep to our territory.Dimitri was at the wheel and his eyes kept glancing in themirror at the occupants in the back seat. Odessa was seated in the back, between Alec and Hades. The tension in the car was thick.“What the hell happened Odessa? I thought Georgios was your mate?” Dimitri asked and a low growl came from Hades at the mention of Georgios.“It's kind of a long story.” She replied.“We've got time. No one is leaving this car for a few hours.” Dimitri said.Hades spoke first, “My mother was originally from Georgios’ pack, Zeus's Howlers. When my father claimed her as a chosen mate, she switched packs and joined Moon Warriors. He wasn't very good to us and took little interest in me. Growing up, Ispent a great deal of time visiting with my grandparents at theirpack. Georgios’ father had the pack then, he was good to me, let me come and stay whenever I wanted to.

Our daughter Raven LaRue, is his mate and the new Luna ofOlympus Blood Moon. We believe this will be a strong alliance for both packs and Zeus's Howlers will grow stronger andflourish.” My mother said.Applause and joyous howls erupted from the crowd. My mother stood in the middle of the field wearing nothing but my father’s shirt after she shifted back. Dimitri and I stood with my father as my mother addressed her new pack.“Beta Onassis, please step forward.” She called out. The crowd became silent and some exchanged nervous looks. “Some of you may have already heard, our oldest son and heir of CrescentMoon, Knox LaRue, is the mate of the Beta's daughter. This will now connect the packs in more ways than one. We are honoredto have Raquel Onassis, from Zeus's Howlers as the future Lunaof t

    Dimitri's POVChapter 36 – Claiming“He's going to be okay, won't he Dr. Vovos?” Niko asked.“I've known Kosta since he was a pup, your Uncle is one of the strongest wolves I've ever met.” Dr. Vovos assured us.The pack clinic was a mile down the road from the pack house. It was morning, we had to wait until Dr. Vovos had stabilized Kosta before we could see him.He was connected to machines and tubes, he looked pretty bad.“How long until he wakes up?” I asked, I really needed to talk to him. Find out who did this. He was badly beaten and shotwith a silver bullet. The silver should have killed him, it's a miracle that he even survived.“He's stable for now, but he's not out of the woods yet. It could be a few days or a few weeks. We don't even know the status of his wolf yet.” She said.Shit! We don't have that kind of time to sit around and wait. Ineeded to get going, Georgios’ pack was five hours northeast ofhere.

    Chapter 35 – Patient“If he's done something to my sister, I can't just lay around and do nothing. I need to find her. I’m going to kill him myself.”Dimitri growled trying to stand up.“She's our sister now too. You won't be helpful to anyone if you don't allow that to heal.” Knox replied.“Dimitri please.” I tried to calm my mate down. “She's his mate, he won't hurt her.”“Unless one of them rejects the other, then he will.” Dimitri said.“He wouldn't be that stupid, he knows she's your sister and doesn't want to make an enemy of you.” I told him.“Maybe, but Odessa might reject him first, she's obviously not happy about this.” He said.“My parents are with Georgios; they know something isn't right.We’ll find her, we just need you to heal. Dr. Vovos should be here to check your wound and change the bandage one moretime for the night. You can speak to her about your progress.” I said.“I need to get to Georgios, if Odessa is still in his territory, I can find her.” Dimitri said.“W

Lucy was insistent aboutreturning to Alpha Georgios pack right away.“I'll see if I can speak with Odessa alone first. I'll call Knox when I've spoken to her, so he can update you. We'll letGeorgios believe that Knox has returned to Crescent Moon with Rocky, and that we've remained in Greece because Alpha LaRue isn't convinced that Raven wants to be with you. That he'sconsidering taking your head for stealing our only daughter and forcing her to mate with you.” Lucy told me.“Mother!” Raven protested at the idea of forced mating.“We'll see if Georgios will lead us to Stefanos or if he letsanything slip. If we hit a dead end, I'll light Georgios up and send him straight to hell.” Lucy said.“I can position my warriors just outside his pack territory tolead an attack and help if things get st
