BeauI was feeding the chickens when I stopped dead in my tracks and Sug stepped out the house's back door in that red dress and alligator boots. My mind circled back to the night she accepted us both as hers“Fuck me,” I groaned and she chuckled. Oh Henry, striding past the feed to greet her. She scooped up the vile bird and stroked his plumage. She laughed lightly at the look on my face.“I see you two are still on each other's bad list, she commented before setting him down amongst the flock. Her eyes scanned the birds a soft smile playing on her pouty lips.“I see regardless they have been well cared for,” she said grinning. It was a far cry from the utter devastation she had presented us last night. A glimmer of the Bri I knew shone back at me.“I figured you’d skin me alive if we didn’t,” I joked“You are not wrong,” she teased back. I stepped up to her.“You're trying to test my self-control in that dress,” I accused.“Blame your Alpha, he suggested it,” she grinned. Go figure,
BriTwo nights until the full moon and I stood staring at the stars. Beau walked up behind me enveloping me in his thick arms. I wore the loose dress I came in, my hair wound up into a colorful scarf. The steps Wyatt required me to take were odd in a way. He wanted Beau and I to tie together first. I wanted to gain the strength of the wolf before I mingled with The Beast and became Luna. It wasn’t what I had envisioned but there was no deviating from his plan, when I asked why we couldn’t just do it all together he referred to Mela and Jolene. He was scared, they hadn’t touched me more than intimate caresses, or trailing hands when kissing. I was already dying without them but he refused to simply link without “the safety” put in place.They knew the possibilities of linking with the wolf. How I may change or not. Would the goddess bless me with a wolf myself? Either way linking with Beau would make me stronger and he wanted me to have that strength before coupling with the unknown po
BriI stood in the kitchen making breakfast, Beau's shadow coming up from behind. His arms encircled me as contentment hummed throughout the fibers of my being. I felt different, lighter, something brewed inside me causing my senses to overload. My sight would suddenly sharpen, my sense of smell drawing me to experience the world differently. I moved the andouille and potatoes around in the pan. Beau kissed my almost healing mark that tied us together, and the sensations shot straight to my core.Since our claiming we’d both been flooded by specters of our former lives within our dreams. Different faces, different skins and yet my feelings for him were always the same. A pure love that had been earned and tried with the tribulations of life and the beauty of what lay within.His hands skimmed up and down my hips as Wyatt came through the front door. He’d avoided us the last two days and both men's lips rose up curling as their canines elongated. Their animals snarling within them. At
WyattI didn’t know what had actually caused the mounting pit of anxiety that countered my excitement to finally fully bond with my mate despite my previous hang-ups. Until she made me speak it, all the rest I could rationalize but even The Beast was weary of the dream. We knew sinister things lay beneath those dark waters, the unending depths of them unknown. Only we could navigate them int he beast’s form. Something about Bri seemed so close to the power that pulsed in the secluded pocket of Bayou where no human man had ever tread. It repelled them but attracted the likes of dark practitioners and troublesome entities that remained on this plane. Those who sensed power and would strive to use it or to foolishly set it free. That I could never allow to happen. I was it’s lone Warden.I dreamed of a green-eyed wolf her features blurred, yet I knew her, my mate. When we woke in the afternoon I gave Bri a languid kiss, her canines were slightly longer, and sharper, and I relished seeing
BriThe anticipation had been flooding my veins all day but as the moon began to rise my body became one with it. Its light brewed within me ready to release. The instant it did, the pain relented within an instant and my hands became paws hit the earth, my new instincts surged and I just ran, knowing he would be a heart's breath behind me. I scented everything in existence. The swamp, the creatures within it, the primordial scent of the soil washed within its depth eons ago. I took it all in as I sprinted toward the smell of the sea. Bounding across sandbars and swimming through shallow channels as small gators and snakes pushed away from me. I felt him moving towards me. My paws sunk into silty earth the wolf as defiant as I was to be caught too easily as we pushed harder. The strength in my limbs complied and I forged ahead, to where I wasn’t sure. I released that train of thought letting the wolf take over. It was exhilarating and freeing to be truely at one with the wildness I ha
WyattI had watched her from the shadows looking up at the stars, she had accepted what she became and let the wolf in her run wild and hard. I chased her for hours until we found ourselves on the territory edge where the clean water of the ocean filtered in. She was the most beautiful creature in any form she wore. She was so strong in every single one, but in this one she was free, noone would know her as The Priestess, the malevolent force that made hard choices and harvested souls for the depths they would soon belong to. She was my mate and as she bathed in the ethereal glow of the moon as if she belonged within it. I knew she needed my soul as much as my soul needed hers. We belonged together through eons. The Beast allowed me there with them as he gently consecrated the right and I was thankful that he loved her just as much as I did. He was as gentle as a beast like him could be, and I felt the full twine of our souls because deep down I realized The Beast was me. I had fors
BeauMy bond with Bri was strong before the full moon and when she shifted with us something more snapped into place when I found my bearings her white tail was disappearing into the underbrush. Wyatt lunged for her and my wolf was only held back by Bri’s command, my Luna, an Alpha Female, something so rare. I snarled but obeyed, assured that her instinct , knew she was safe with Wyatt. When they returned and I beheld the beauty of her animal a pure white wolf whose coat reflected the moonlight filtering down from the canopy of cypress trees laden in spanish moss. She was a legend, a myth walking among us and my heart swelled with pride. Communing together under the moon and stars our song lifted into the night. The vibrations of the pack were strong and the harmony poured through our links together where it began to heal something deeper within us all. We were together as we should be, as we were always meant to be.I don’t remember dreaming. The only thing that woke me was a searing
BriFire and ice, Ice and fire. I needed more, more of them. Their skin to mine, our hearts, and souls connected. Together. Our love overpouring in a requiem of emotion and carnal sensations. I yearned for the feel of them, our energy— a melody to our souls. The older woman had come. She had entered my mind creating a pocket of calm that drew me in.“I see you have finally seen sense Mother Moon, but your stubbornness comes with a price — I’m sure they are more than willing to pay it. Welcome to being fully ascended,” the old woman said. “A price?”“The haze is what your people call it. Can’t you feel it?” she asked. I didnt know what she meant. I tried to assess myself through the turmoil in my veins, beyond the blood that seemed to boil along with the swamp in my mindscapes that churned and steamed. My icy darkness weaved around it all as threads of myself knitted together slowly around new facets of my being. Beneath it all was an endless throb deep in my core. My need for them s
