2024-10-29 19:42:56I tilted my canvas to the left as I tried to get my paint brush at the perfect angle for my now fully developed yellow flower.
Anytime I needed to think, relax or just be at peace, I just grabbed my supplies and made art. A bird chirped beside me as the cool evening breeze from the meadow whipped my hair all over in messy curls. I frowned as I ran my hand through it, seeing it as yet another reminder that Niall wasn't here.
Since we've lived together, he had always combed my hair for me, simply because I could never tame the coily waves myself. However, since I had to go to bed alone last night, I didn't get my usual braids or twists, courtesy of my lovely mate.
But he didn't come home, and he still hasn't.
Sighing deeply, I tried to remember what Asia had said about him being able to take care of himself, which was further backed by his mom later that night at dinner. That didn't mean that I didn't miss him though, and I couldn't hide the hurt I felt kno

I rushed through the trees like wind as I ran towards the Alpha house.My mate was in trouble and my one goal was to find him. I tried not to panic too much, but simply try and focus on the issue at hand. We have a connection, so finding him shouldn't be the problem. But if I was going to make this work, I had to keep my head straight.I contemplated asking Clarissa for help. She is, after all, an expert at tracking. Deciding that I could use all the help I can get, I mindlink her.<"Clarissa! My mate is in trouble. I need you to help me find him"> I pushed through her link without warning. She replied immediately.<"He's your mate. Doesn't that make you the best to find him?"><"Yes, but I'm sure I'll find him faster with your help...Please Clarissa. I know you're not his biggest fan, but I really need your help"> I pleaded desperately.The level of worry I felt made me know that I'd do ANYTHING to have him back with

I pulled up to my former home's driveway faster than I ever have. I quickly shut the engine off and ran into the house."Zoey?" Ashley called in confusion as I ran past her once I was inside. If it were any other circumstance, I would've stopped to talk to her, but I just needed to see Luka.I bolted to his office, where I knew he spent most of his time. I knew Victoria was out of the hospital, hence why I really hoped that he wasn't in his bedroom with her. I didn't want Victoria to know about what was going on.Luckily, Luka was in his office when I burst in without knocking. He was stunned by the intrusion as he quickly looked up from his work, but his features soon changed into confusion."You left two days ago and you miss us already?" There was a hint of amusement in his tone as he rounded his desk, but I was still catching my breath after running through the huge ass house."Luka..I-I need your...I need your silver bullet gun" I rushed out t

<"Niall where are you?"> I asked through our link immediately as I felt it, but I was met with silence. <"Niall? "> I kept my foot on the brake just to go a little slower as I reached out again.I knew he heard me, because I could feel his panic rising at the sound of my voice. I didn't know why, but I really didn't want to either.<"Niall! "> I practically screamed this time in our link, growing very frustrated with his behaviour.I was hurt that he heard me and refused to answer, and that he also felt when I came into linking range but refused to acknowledge it.<"Zoey, I'm so sorry for everything but it is not safe here. You need to go okay? I'll be home soon"> He finally decided to speak, but I felt anger rising in me as he did. It would've been better if he didn't.<"WHAT?! Are you freaking kidding me Niall? You've been gone for two days and you expect me to just go back home without you? And should I remind yo

"What the hell!" I screeched as I ran outside with Niall on my tail.I was left flabbergasted as I took in the sight in front of me. My heart thumped against my chest like a beating drum, and the longer I looked at it, the more surreal it became.My car, that I nearly destroyed just coming here, was in giant flames with a very flustered looking Valero, and a pissed Clarissa standing next to it."I was literally inside the building for two minutes!" I pulled on my hair as I gazed between Valero and Clarissa, silently waiting for an answer."It-it just erupted in flames! I-I.." Valero stuttered, still looking stunned by it all.I threw my head in my hands with a big huff, feeling rather annoyed and frustrated from this whole trip. I knew I smelled a little extra gas on my way here as if it had a leak, but I didn't think it would've exploded!I felt as Niall rested his hand on my shoulder, at which I shocked us both by flinching away.

Niall's PovShe just sat there.She just sat there and she won't talk. She won't talk to me, she won't talk to Valero, she blocked me from her mind and completely put her barrier up--blocking me from whatever she might've been feeling.It killed me that I was the cause of her pain and the reason why she wouldn't even look me in the eyes. She held onto me while we made it to the small river about three miles away from where the fight just occured, but after she was clean and wearing my shirt, she just sat in front of the water with her knees against her chest and her chin on them, staring at the water.The only time she spoke was to protest when Valero began to dig a hole to put Clarissa to rest, and so we brought her to where the river's current was stronger, where she cleaned her off, placed leaves all around her and sent her down the rushing water.She said Clarissa wouldn't want to be subjected to lying in the ground. Even after

Relief flooded me when I noticed that we were nearing the Alpha house. I was beyond exhausted, since I had no idea how I could run that far on only three hours of sleep.Niall woke up at five this morning, waking me too in the process since I found myself laying on top of him. I protested against the idea, but he insisted that we should leave before sunrise, since we were still very close to Rogue Burg, and I knew none of us were ready to be in another fight.We ran back in wolf form, completely hungry, tired and clothes-less. In all honesty, I couldn't wait to get home.Valero left once we were at the border of Niall's pack, but we didn't exchange any verbal departure words, since we don't have a link with him. I did, however, make a mental note to call him and thank him again later.As we neared the house, Asia and Jared emerged from the entrance with worried looks on their faces. I could tell that they were mindlinking Niall, but I just kept quiet sinc

Three days had passed, and everything was going back to normal.Niall arranged a special section in the pack cemetery for headstones of my dad and Clarissa, so that I could visit them anytime I wanted to. I loved it.Even though I visited my mom's grave countless times back in Brightwater Pack, I never really had a talk with my dad like I had with her. Even though his physical body wouldn't be there, it was sweet, and I loved him even more for doing it for me.We were scheduling a pack meeting, where Niall will officially introduce me to his pack and make me a member.With everything that had been going on, we never got the chance to do it, but now we can since everything is settled. And even though almost every pack member already knew me, I still had to be officially introduced as Luna. I was more than happy and ready to be just that.This is all I need."Hey beautiful."I beamed at the very voice of the man I loved so much, and I t

~The Human Reference~I pulled away from her. The hurt in her eyes was evident after my actions, but it wasn't because of her, it was because of what she said."What?" I questioned out loud.Victoria told me she never knew her dad, and she only knew mom when she was an adult. She also said she didn't know anything about our dads. So I was just confused as to what she actually knows from what she doesn't know.This was big. This was a huge part of my questions from the moment I was old enough to understand that my dad was dead. Nobody ever cared to tell me how he died, so why now?"If you will just listen please," she pleaded softly, and I simply nodded as I settled beside her again. My heart raced in anticipation. Victoria's dad killed mine? For what? For mom maybe?The million of questions in my mind seemed endless as I waited for Victoria to start, and I could already feel myself getting a headache."Remember when I

Song for final chapter:Love Someone by Lukas Graham***The day had finally come. I was finally home and being introduced to Niall's Pack officially. I'd finally become the Luna I was always destined to be, and lead with my mate.After everything was settled in England, I promised not to be a stranger, but I knew I had to return home. The minute we were home, Niall and I started getting ready for the Pack meeting. It wasn’t just me who was being introduced, but our new Beta as well, Asia's mate.It was a very exciting day, and though I'll surely miss my link with Brightwater Pack, I was more than happy that I'd finally be free to live happily with Niall, now that everything was out and had been resolved.My heart felt like it was soaring on the clouds on its way to a bright future, and I couldn’t wait to see what that future was."All ready?" a voice from the door called, and I immediately smiled up at Ni

"This is Kavan Conley. I was the rightful heir of the Beta position at Emerald Pack, but my younger brother stole it from me. No one believed me when I tried to tell the truth, they thought I was crazy. Maybe my running away will confirm their beliefs even more. But you, whoever you are, the fact that you found this letter meant you were supposed to. I need you to set it straight. Even if it's generations later, I ask this of you: Tell my story, bring truth to the wolves of Emerald Pack, even if they don't know me. Because that will bring justice for my Julia."I took a deep breath as I glanced over the words scribbled on the paper for the hundredth time, before I lifted my head to the wolves of Emerald Pack who were looking at me expectantly.I was finally able to do it. I finally learnt everything about myself, my bloodline and my dad. Even though the man who clarified most of my heritage turned out to be a back-stabbing, power hungry murderer, it was good to know ev

"I knew it!""Incoming..." I squealed as I braced for impact as Jody launched herself at me. I had to gasp for air as she squeezed the life from me."I knew you were a Conley! I just knew it!" She beamed as she pulled away to gaze at me.The smile that lit her face had me so excited. I was as happy as her to know that we were related. If only we could've been sisters. But cousins were close enough."It's Boysen and always will be. But I am proud to be a part of this family" I admitted. I knew I'd never disregard my birth-name. I didn't want to. If my dad saw that he needed to take that name, then I wont change it. I'm his daughter after all.All the questions were still hanging over my head about what happened to him, and I really really wanted to learn what it was because I wanted to go home. I missed my mate too much. I called him again and filled him in about what I learnt. I couldn't wait until I was home to tell him more.As expected, h

Kavan? My dad's real name is Kavan Conley?If my dad was the first born of a descendant of the very first Beta wolf, then why on earth was a rogue in the first place? Wasn't he supposed to be here? Being Beta of the Emerald Pack?"It makes so much sense now!" He practically screamed. "Since the very first time I saw you when you were six, there was something about you that I just couldn't understand. The more you grew and the more you came to Emerald Pack, I knew it! I just knew you were my blood!"I shook my head as I jumped from the seat. "So let me get this straight. My dad, who I know as Reagan, is actually Kavan and is your older brother?""Yes""When was the last time you saw him?""Years ago. After his mate died, he lost it and ran away from home" Edward sighed, but something about that didn't add up."My dad didn't run away from home." I stated firmly.I didn't know my dad, but I knew he wouldn't run away from his respo

This chapter and the following chapter are very important guys! We're finally learning about who Zoey really is! Yay.Happy reading and Enjoy!***The next day rolled around quite quickly, but to say I had a good night's sleep would be a lie. I could always sleep on my own growing up, even after my mom died. But I had gotten so used to sleeping with Niall, that I didn't even remember how to sleep alone.I knew I'd have a challenge sleeping without him. I learnt that from the day when he left. But it seemed like the extra distance away from him made it even worse. The minute I woke up twenty minutes ago, my phone was already ringing with a call from him. Turns out, he was even awake before me.We spoke a while, but then he had to leave to do some early work. Everyone here was still asleep. It was five thirty in the morning after all. I didn’t want to wake anyone, and I knew I couldn’t go back to bed. So,

England.The land of Queens and perfect pinkies, also known as the country that I've come to love over all my years visiting.For some odd reason, I wasn't even surprised when Clarissa told me that my answers were here, simply because since I was a child and was coming here, I've always acknowledged how much like home it felt. And it wasn't about how hospitable the wolves here were. It was more of an inner peace that made me feel at home.What are the odds that ten years later, I'm here searching for answers that may lie in the very walls of Emerald Pack's Alpha house?Still, I should've known that my sense of belonging at Emerald Pack wasn't just because I liked it there. Even though at that time, my wolf wasn't awake in me as yet, she knew this was where our blood lies.If I was being honest, I was really eager yet anxious about what I'd learn. Will it be good? What if Vampires really do exist, and I'm part Vampire? Yuck. The thought alone gave m

I beamed at Niall as he watched me in disbelief. I knew I was a hard mate to keep up with. One minute I'm saying this, then the other I'm saying that.But Niall's features then softened, and he looked content with my words. "Really. You changed your mind?"I nodded. "I had an eye opener. Vic told me something about my dad, and I realised that the truth didn't hurt me like I thought it would. It actually made me feel better."He pecked my lips as he wrapped his arms around my waist tighter. I could see that this was a part of his plan. He knew Victoria was the only one who could've gotten through to me. And even though at first it annoyed me, I'm glad he did."Besides, she reminded me that whatever I find out, however hard it will be, I have a mate that will stick by me throughout it all.""That's what I've been trying to tell you," he pointed out with a small smirk. I quickly kissed the stupid smirk away from his face."I know. I know. But s
