Her Moon, His Song Ch. 31
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE ~Avery: I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I heard the knock at my door. Lost room service? The bad guys who attacked before? No - professional killers wouldn’t knock, would they? But when his voice came through the door my heart soared with hope I didn’t want. My knees quaked as I stood there, overwhelmed by it all. Questions raided my mind, my ears filled with the sound of my heart pumping blood, my breathing hitched. When he spoke again I seemed to wake up from the panic, the relief, the joy - everything - enough to move again. My mind raced for something to hold on to. For something to carry me out of this. A flash of what we had done together came to mind, and it gave me my resolve. I needed to be strong, to be in control. I needed to push him away once and for all. For everyone’s safety. When he looked at me through the crack in the door it took everything I had not to just rush him, pull him close. But I would not let go of what I knew to be righ

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO:~Drake: I may die of frustration before the Lycaon kill me. Trying to understand all the thoughts in anyone’s mind is hard enough - but in my elusive mate? Almost impossible. I hold on to the hope that my guesses are correct - that she likes me but is holding back because of something in her past, that she wants to trust but needs me to keep pushing until her worries are resolved. But there’s nothing telling me I’m not totally wrong. So I keep pushing - right? When she said the words, ‘I’m sorry,’ I almost opened my mouth in shock. But I didn’t want to scare her off or send her on a tirade. I needed to watch myself to not change the atmosphere at all until she elaborated. She rambled and I listened to it all, trying to take in everything I could from her perspective. It was amazing progress, but Dane reminded me of the threat looming closely, and I knew we would have to prioritize leaving and getting her somewhere safe before I went back and hunted every one of

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: ~Avery: After pulling away from Drake, I made my way down the back staircase that led around the other side of the building. It’s hard to move quickly but quietly and I’m not sure at the moment what matters more. Can those wolves hear the creaks in these steps? At the bottom of the stairs I turn cautiously and start walking along the backside of the building, searching for any auras out there. Because of the hour, there’s not much activity anywhere outside of the random rooms I passed with lights coming through the windows. With every step I fight my magic and the instinct to just destroy everything and everyone out there. To remove this threat from the face of the earth. I clench my fists, fighting my magic, keeping it down in my abdomen. My mind flickers to Drake. There’s a flash of worry for him, I can’t hear anything going on out there, but was it right to leave him? Will he get hurt? My heart clenches at the thought of it. A second of heat takes over

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR:~Drake:How did I miss the sound of those loud rogues? Her. My nameless mate. She had me in total tunnel vision. I knew it was silver bullets that hit me the second I was thrown into some tree. The impact was disorienting and when I rolled my head back to face the threat, my mate was blowing up like an ethereal supernova. The light coming from her was intense and maybe overpowering to anyone else, but for me, I couldn’t look away. It was magical. No other way to describe it. It was like the heavens opened up and a Goddess was revealing her real self to me. The sight set my heart ablaze, I was stuck in complete awe. The seconds of her radiation seemed to last a lifetime.“How did an idiot like you get so lucky?” Dane commented.I was totally slack jawed in my total and complete awe.The pain in my neck, side, and back hit me and I rotated my head back, looking straight back up into the night sky. I tried to push up but found it hard to move. I can hear her moveme

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE~Avery:A few hours after waking up all disoriented in the car to realize Drake was alive, we were on foot heading to a corner store to buy a burner phone and some snacks. We had ditched the car, Drake adding tons of mud and such trying to cover the ‘scent’ as best we could, before we moved on. I still had a moderate amount of cash on me but we needed to be strategic about what we spent on now. Otherwise I’d need to use other means to get cash, and I really didn’t want to mess with my magic right now.Drake held the door open for me as we made it to the corner, I walked up and down two aisles with him pretty much glued to my side. I stopped before the phones and gave him a small glare. My stance is firm. I don’t want to say anything aloud here about backing off - but da*n dude - give a girl some space.He looked back at me, mouth twisted like he wasn’t impressed with what I was signaling. He just brought his feet together, crossed his arms, and looked back at me.O

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: ~Drake: I fell asleep after a few minutes of bickering with Dane. I’d tried again to get into her head, but she once again kept me firmly away. She won’t talk to me, not about anything real. So fine. I slept on the couch. I need a break from fighting her. I’d fight her forever on this, get close somehow, but I can’t lie and say it’s easy. It f*king hurts. She doesn’t need to be alone like this, not anymore. But she wasn’t giving into our bond like that. Not now anyway. The immediate irritation that filled my blood as I remembered these feelings in my drowsy mind dissipated as I blinked awake. Something in me was forcing me to wake up mid-REM. Like a small tug in my head. I was disoriented but something in me was making me wake up. Something wasn’t right. I felt the echo of her voice calling to me in a panic. Like a stretched out link. ‘Avery,’ Dane huffed out in a panic. Something was very wrong. All the hair on my skin sat up straight as I flung myself u

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN:~Avery: The painful pounding in my head woke me up. I registered everything slowly. My back felt stiff, I was laying on something cold and uncomfortable. There’s a kink in my neck. The involuntary shiver that ran through me really brought the pain from all over out. My eyes squinted, but as much as I blinked, there was no light. I rolled and pushed myself off the floor only to confirm it. There’s no light here. It’s completely pitch black. And cold. Another shover rippled over my skin. I moved my hands all around me feeling nothing but hard rock. Cement maybe? I shifted my weight, reaching further away, trying to feel for something, anything. A wall maybe? Nothing. I moved further, stretching out, listening carefully to everything around but there was more of the same. No sounds, and no objects but rock or cement or whatever it was. Is this some sort of dream? Nightmare? Was I dead? I kept feeling around, strategically heading in what I think was the same dir

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT:~Drake: ‘We need to rest,’ Dane grumbled again. Annoyed with me. We’d been driving for hours. I’d filled up twice since we’d left the motel but outside of that we haven’t stopped. ‘We’re nearly there,’ I sent him back. ‘No, we’re not. And if we don’t stop we won’t have the energy to defeat them all,’ he pointed out - again. I growled aloud, smacking the steering wheel. I didn’t want to stop but the da*n wolf did have a good point. I haven’t been here in what felt like a lifetime. Alpha Rafael was a grade A a**hole but he wasn’t stupid. He likely changed patrols since I left. I wouldn’t be able to use any knowledge on the packlands other than where the buildings were. I had to slow down, build a strategy - figure out how to get in touch with Archer before blowing the element of surprise. If I even had that. Blowing out more agitated breaths I pulled over, bringing the car to a full stop. I’d lost track of where I even was. I was just heading home. All wolv

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
