Chapter 9 – Flames

I 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

    Chapter 16 – BrokenCRACK! I let out a scream and tried to shield myself from the whip. I was panting hard and looked around for Ranger, but all I could see was darkness. There was nothing. No Ranger. No whip.I heard the sound of the CRACK again and realized it was only thunder. I was still in the hole. The earth around me was cold and moist from the heavy rains. I was beyond hunger pains and dehydration. I had lost a lot of blood and felt so weak.“Please Moon Goddess, bring me home.” I prayed as I shivered from the cold. “End my suffering.” Everyone I loved was gone, I had nothing, and I didn’t belong here.“I’m here Lucy.” I heard Lia’s broken voice.“Lia? Where have you been? I thought you left me?” I cried, relieved I wasn’t alone.“I sent all my energy to our pup, trying to protect it. I’m sorry Lucy, I let you down.” She whimpered with grief.“Lia, it’s not your fault. It’s his. He never deserved us or the pup.”“I’m too weak to heal you, I think we’re dying.” Her voice was la

    Chapter 17 – Run“WHYTHEHELLWASN’TINOTIFIEDIMMEDIATELYWHEN SHE WOKE UP?” I heard Ranger roar outside my door.“Sir, she just woke up twenty minutes ago.” Delta Cole said. He was on guard duty outside my door and had switched places with Max. I had been awake last night, but Cole looked into the room this morning and caught me with my eyes open.Dr. Baker was in the room examining me when Ranger swung the door open. His hands were clinched in fists and his piercing blue eyes trained on me. In a flash he was standing next to my bed. Feeling the tension in the room, Dr. Baker, excused herself. “I’ll be outside if you need me.”Ranger stood silent for a moment looking me over before he spoke. “Why didn’t you tell me about the pup? My pup?”A lump formed in my throat thinking about my baby. “You rejected me because I was weak. I wasn’t going to let you reject our pup too.”“You couldn’t have hidden it much longer. You were planning on running away with my pup, weren’t you?”Hell yes

    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
