Her Moon, His Song Ch. 14
CHAPTER FOURTEEN:~Drake: The next morning came, and I still didn’t know what to do about my Alpha trying to marry me off. The remnants of dreams about my newly discovered mate filled my eyes for a moment. But it was time to get up. After leading training for a few hours, I knew that I at least needed to tell my parents. Maybe they could help me figure this out. Goddess knows, Archer couldn’t give me any helpful advice. Or any advice at all. I ran over to my parent’s cottage and knocked on the door. “Drakey,” my mom opens the door with a smile. “Come in, come in.” I follow her to the kitchen table where my dad is eating breakfast. “Are you hungry? I can whip up something?” my mom asks. “No, no, I’m good, mom. Thanks,” I reassure her. I sit down with them and my dad pushes a cup of coffee at me. I thank him. “What is it?” my dad asks me after a minute. I look up to meet his gaze. He’s looking at me questioningly. “You seem - happy?” he says in a question. I widened my smil

CHAPTER FIFTEEN:~Avery: No sign of Drake for a few days now. So then why do I keep thinking about him? I’m again getting distracted when I’m supposed to be working. Instead, I’m thinking about a dreamy guy. Great. Now I’m associating him with the term ‘dreamy.’ Sighing, I close the laptop and get up. No sense in trying to do this anymore. Time for a break I guess. It’s not quite time for my usual breaks, but no matter. I put my shoes on and a jacket that hung by the door and I headed out for a walk. This time something has me going a different way. I passed a few houses, and plenty of trees. I continued on. I soak in the feeling of the sun on my face, and the warmth reminds me of the way I feel around- Ugh. There’s no escape! After about half an hour I reach town and I start walking to an ice cream shop when something gets my attention. A delicious smell - cinnamon. I almost ignore it and keep going, but something makes me stop in my tracks. It feels sad around me. There’s no o

CHAPTER SIXTEEN:~Drake: Well, that could have gone better, Dane says to me as she runs out of view. Yeah, well you were no help, I snap. Someone’s touchy, Dane grumbles. I think about following her but kill the notion. It would only freak her out more if she caught me. And as much as I want to see her, be near her, it feels wrong to do it without her knowing. I walk a bit longer in the forest to try to clear my mind. It, of course, doesn’t work. I need to rail on something. Heading deeper into the trees, I look around carefully before deeming it’s safe to shift. I need to go on a run. Lose myself a bit. I can fix this, she just needs time. And you need to not babble like an idiot, Dane quips. Thanks for the confidence, I retort. But despite the attitude, I can tell he’s thankful to be able to get these worries out. We take off. Almost an hour later and while I’ve begun to feel a little less - crazy - I feel like I need to get back to my mate, even if she’s not quite ready.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:~Avery:The routine is second nature by now. Cash for Beth and a note. Ditch the car, ditch the phone, cash for the motel, hair dye. I picked ‘Rebecca’ this time around so I don’t need to wear contacts. What sucks about Rebecca is she has white-blond hair. Which means bleach. Which means this process takes longer. But it’s still early in the day and I have time.I drove my new beater car for about three hours and tried to keep going, leaving more distance between me and -. But I’m so tired. I sigh aloud. There’s a sign for upcoming motels on the freeway so I take the next exit. I look for the cheapest one. I hadn’t been able to pick up a phone at my last two stops so I wasn’t able to look up prices. Or be tempted to message this handsome guy I can’t get out of my head. The image of his bruised face and pained expression keeps popping up everytime I think I’m at peace with my decision.Singing is something I can’t afford to do with other people around. But alone in

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN:~Drake:I’m losing my mind. There’s no way to sugarcoat it. My parents are gone. Archer is MIA, and my mate has disappeared. Did she leave on her own? Was she taken? Both scenarios flip back and forth in my mind and neither of them end well. Whether the Lycaon have taken her already or not, she’s in danger. Because of me.I have to believe that the note wasn’t written in distress. I need to believe she’s run off on her own. If that’s true, she ran from us, Dane points out.Something I was already considering but didn’t want to think about. Could I have scared her that bad? That she just took off like that?Gears turn in my head. The Lycaon are techy. I guess it’s good I left my phone out back in the woods. But her number is there…I ran back again to where we had last stood together. I found my shredded clothing there. My phone lies next to the pile and I quickly use everything I know about phones to delete everything and reset it to factory settings, after sending

CHAPTER NINETEEN:~Avery: I wasn’t far enough. Would I ever be? After leaving the seedy motel with every last trace of evidence, and using some power to get the front desk kid to forget me, I was back on the road. I felt compelled to keep running. It was a little while before I passed the highway sign letting me know I entered Oregon. In the afternoon I pull over into a small town and find their corner store. In getting supplies I notice they’ve got some prepaid phones and I grab one. I can trust myself not to reach out to Drake, right? When would I forget his freaking number? Why had I so easily memorized it in the first place? After paying, I walk back out to my car and sit there for a moment. I want to run, as always. It’s instinct now, and h*ll, it’s logical knowing my nature - my history. But my chest, my heart, my skin - wants to illogically be in Drake’s embrace. Weighing both, I just sigh in frustration. I push that to the side and open the phone, setting it up a bit and g

CHAPTER TWENTY: ~Drake: She’s okay. She’s stubborn and possibly independent to a fault, but she’s okay. And da*nit if I wasn’t totally turned on by her fierceness. Where did you go?, Dane asks me. You couldn’t see all that?, I asked him. No. Never felt that before. You were just… gone, Dane said irritated. I was with our mate. She’s okay. We met in a dream. I think it was her dream. I don’t know, I explained to him quickly. She changed her hair, and her eyes were different. But I’d know her anywhere. How do you know it was real?, he asked me, holding back excitement. It almost felt real. Incredibly real, it was just a little… numbed. I could smell her, feel her, but less sharply… I rambled. Where is she? We must go to her right now, he insisted. She didn’t say. But she’s safe. She’s in a little room or studio. Lots of trees around. And.. SNOW there was snow! I remembered. What else, what else?, he pushed. Uhhh…, I scratched the back of my head like that would m

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: ~Avery: The next day was really weird. I tried to roll into my usual routines, but I kept thinking about my weird dream. Was it really more than just a dream? Was Drake actually here? Well, with me, somehow? The questions plagued me every minute of the day. I hardly got anything done at all. And it wasn’t just the questions running through my mind. It was the ghost of his touch. The memory of the feelings I got lost in. And that wasn’t even real. What would it be like if it were? The thought alone got me all hot and uncomfortable. No amount of swimming could refocus me, and it wasn’t until late at night after trying and failing to fall asleep that I touched myself imagining us continuing what we had started. I got close to ecstasy a few times but paused, building and building the feeling until I finally let myself feel relief. This guy was going to be the death of me. I’d fallen asleep after some time, afraid I’d see him again, but it was all just darkness

CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE:~Avery: It really was another thing entirely to physically be here, to hear these things, and then to see them. After Drake destroyed this particular guard we wasted no time moving forward. I jumped off Dane’s back to free him up to get the bunker door down. It took three big hits from him but then it was cracked open. I went in first, the opening not quite big enough for him, and I heard him whine as I ran past. My shoes echoed on the cold hard floor as I walked forward. The hallway jutted to the right and revealed a staircase that went down a few floors. Just how many people did they have down here? With another loud boom I knew Dane had gotten the bunker door totally down, and I heard him chasing me as I went down the first few flights of stairs. There were no hallway offshoots until the third floor, and in my rage, with my light fired up and my hair completely lifted, I nearly slipped on the last step before finally seeing a doorway. I moved quickly with

CHAPTER SEVENTY:~Drake:‘I’m not staying here forever, they need to find or pick someone else,’ I grumbled to Dane - again. ‘We were born to lead,’ Dane fires back. It’s been our constant argument for the past week. Pretty much the only time we aren’t arguing is when Avery has our attention. We’re both one hundred percent focused on her when she’s around. Just then, like I’d been summoning her, a knock came to the door. I knew it was her before she opened it, and the instant her eyes met mine, everything else faded to gray. “I can feel you getting… upset?” she asked, closing the door behind her and walking over to the desk I’d been sitting in for too long. I stood up, needing contact with her right away. Without another word she was in my arms and everything seemed lighter, easier. “I’m perfect now, Freckles,” I said, a long breath leaving me. The encouraging tingles from everywhere we touched, accompanied by her intoxicating scent settled me down. Goddess, she’s amazing. The

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE: ~Avery: It’s been a week since we stormed into Black Mountain. And while I wish things were relaxed, they’ve been just way too chaotic for much anything at all outside of putting this pack back together. We spent the first three nights at Alec’s with Drake needing to come back here for one thing or another, and since he didn’t want me out of his sight, I would tag along too. Not that I was just being pulled around all over to stand around and no nothing. No, it seemed I was stepping into Luna duties right alongside Drake. I spent my time meeting with this group and that, and have now started restructuring the school here. It seems like girls and boys were treated very differently in school and on the training fields, and while Drake has implemented changes for training, the school was overlooked. Not everyone is happy about these changes. There are a group of older pack members who grumble and fuss, and it’s hard not to just snap at them but I’m trying to em

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT:~Drake: Something about the unknown intruder had Dane on edge. I asked him about it but all I got was a noncommittal grunt in return. Helpful. It was hard to leave Avery like that there but I shouldn’t be long and I didn’t know what exactly was out there waiting for me. I wish we were fully marked though, with Beatrix able to link with Archer, I really think that Avery and I would be able to link. I’d feel so much better if I were able to talk to her, knowing she’s okay. It took a couple of minutes but soon I saw two border guards up ahead. I recognized the three of them and they nodded at my approach. The vi

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN:~Avery: God were we ready for this to be over. I saw that in Drake too when he assessed his previous Alpha. There was this huge weight, this expectation I think the group around us had, but no one said a word as Drake went straight for the kill and I had no problem sucking in this tyrant’s darkness. Unsurprisingly he was all dark. Just like Justin. That had been crazy too. I didn’t even know where to start with that, I wasn’t sure I could ever really process everything he ended up being. I just held onto Drake’s hand. It was the only thing I could think to do. We started our walk back while Beatrix, Emery and

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX: ~Drake: I spent some time talking with Avery about what we’d seen. I knew I was adopted, and suspected I had Alpha blood, but to see all that… My parents sacrificed themselves for me and Rafael, Rafael was all behind it. He had killed my parents, my entire pack. And then he killed my adoptive parents, the sweetest, bravest people. I was going to slaughter him like a pig before he took anything else of mine. I didn’t understand what kind of deal he had made with the demons for that insane attack to have happened, but I didn’t care. And Eric, who had he been to my birth parents? Had I been stupid not to look for him earlier? Was it too late now? It was too late to keep in my head though, we were gathering for our strike. I would have to think all this through later. Now, I needed to put it aside. “Teams 1 - 4 are our frontline led by me,” Archer ordered out to the troops. There had been some arguing about this but we were going with what was planned. Ave

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE:~Avery: We were supposed to sleep in to help prep our bodies for what could be a long battle, and I really did not have a problem with that. I woke up once around early morning, feeling anxious, but Drake pulled me tighter into the hold he had me in and I found myself relaxing again. The second time I woke up it happened slowly. I rubbed sleep from my eyes and realized I was the little spoon to Drake’s big spoon. It made me smile. Something so simple like this, something I honestly thought I would never have. But here he was. His hold, his heat, his scent - it all gave him away so I didn’t even need to look. But how I wanted to.

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR: ~Drake: It felt good to be heading home. Well. That and other things. It felt natural to be heading back towards where my pack was, but with everything there waiting for me, and the knowledge of my parents’ slaughter… well it was a lot. Avery insisted on taking a turn driving. She was currently scanning the radio for something, I wasn’t sure what. She’d passed by a couple songs that weren’t half bad. She listened for a few seconds before scrunching her nose in distaste and changing the station again. The windows on this old beater we bought from a junkyard couldn’t close up all the way on the driver’s side but instead of letting me cover the gap somehow she had insisted that the fresh air was good for us. So now her hair flowed a bit like she was using a little of her magic. Her hair had grown out a lot since before she’d been taken. As much as she looked beautiful when I met her, and each time she’d changed her look, I much preferred her natural strawberry-b

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: ~Avery: I thought for a moment before nodding, a silent ask for him to continue. I had to know everything. No more running from this life, from what we might have to face. I felt my whole body tense like I was preparing for some kind of assault. I tried to relax but knew I wouldn’t be able to until I finally heard this. No more secrets, no more ignoring what very well could be reality. “Okay - again - I don’t put too much stock into this,” he glanced at me again. I just nodded once more, still stiff. “Beatrix calls you Queen Mothe
