I can feel your sadness and pain I glance at the clock for the millionth time, 5am. The twins' soft snoring finally calmed my nerves a few hours ago. Every time I close my eyes, the scenes unfold as clear as they were in real time. Each time, the fear grips me and bile rises in my throat. I decided to go and take a shower and wash off the filth from the events of the day. My skin felt filthy, disgusting and I may now be a wolf but I never wanted to harm anyone. I have someone's blood on my hands. I took a life. I step into the shower and turn the water as hot as I can stand it. I scrub until my skin is raw, it's no use. I don't feel any cleaner, nor do I feel any better about what I have done. I'm not sure how long I stand scrubbing and I don't even notice the blood starting to seep through my skin or the shower door opening until the twins step in, Ajax grabs my hands as Aries takes the blood stained exfoliating sponge from me. I look up and notice they're both still fully dresse
Chapter 33 Revenge is best served rejected I wake in my bed at the pack house, alone. The twins are back to their training regime early in the morning now and I miss waking up tangled in them and cosy. I am thankfully healthy and happy again though and looking forward to getting back to school with the heightened security in place. I'm a little disappointed to be changing some classes to fit with me not being away from my mates but they have also made some sacrifices for my safety and I can always retake the classes if I want to in the future. Argon hasn't been seen or heard from for a couple of weeks now and for that I am scared but so grateful, though the worry that he will most likely try again is still there and the disturbing images of that day have stayed with me popping up every now and again in the form of nightmares. We only have a few months of our last year of High school left and honestly, the whole experience has been hectic and somewhat traumatic. Titan has been assi
Chapter 34 Loose both I walk outside, not stupid enough to leave the safety of the grounds after last time and not cruel enough to run from Ajax for Aries mistake. I have learned to treat them as separate people not one, let's face it Aries fucks up alot more often than Ajax and it wouldn't be fair if Ajax was held at arms length by us both each time we had a dispute, this though.. This pushed it one step further. I'm aware of Ajax and Titan walking slowly a little behind me giving me space, I block them out because I really need to think, which is hard enough to do whilst Ersa is nagging at me about threatening to reject one of our mates. I wasn't lying in that very moment, feeling the sickness and disrespect of seeing Aries taunting me with another woman I never wanted to set eyes on him again. I walk the whole perimeter of the pack house so I've been walking for around forty-five minutes. Ajax jogs up to my side and takes my hand in his, "Is it OK for me to walk with you now bab
Chapter 35I winAjax comes running in clearly hearing the conversation between his mum and I from his office down the hall."Cierra please, I'm begging you. I cannot lose you and neither can Aries. Please Cierra let us love you and make you happy, I know things have been a lot since you found out about us but they're going to get better baby." Ajax pleads"Ajax babe, I wouldn't take that risk. I don't even think I have it in me to reject Aries though I have every damn right might I add."Aries came rushing in right at that time, he was stealthy. I hadn't heard him make his way to my office."My love, I'm so glad to hear that. I am so so very sorry beautiful, I would die if you rejected me, of that I am certain. I love you wholeheartedly. I will spend the rest of my life making up for this mistake if you'll let me" Aries grovels.I study Aries face, he seems sincere but how often is this shit going to happen throughout my life with him?"Aries, I need some space away from you right no
I love you AlphasI wake to a knock on the door and the door slowly opens bringing with it a waft of coffee and bacon. I look to my side and see Ajax naked wrapped around me tightly sleeping, it brings a smile to my face. I look towards the door and see Aries placing a tray down on it with bacon on toast and coffee for 3. I motion for him to be quiet and slide carefully out of Ajax hold.I walk to the table naked and take a seat not bothering to cover up. The twins seldom sleep naked because they're both in bed with me. They usually just wear loose fitting shorts or boxer shorts but Ajax opted to sleep naked last night with it just being him and me. Aries takes in my naked body and licks his lips.Goddess I have never been jealous of my brother but right now I am. You look perfect love. He says over the mind link so as not to disturb Ajax from his sleep.Thankyou for the breakfast, are we still headed back to school today as planned? I reply skipping over his advances even though I'd
The meetingThe weeks roll by smoothly and the end of the school year is just five days away. we're all a little antsy that Argon made such a bold move and hasn't been seen since. The council and numerous packs are still searching for him to have him arrested for his crime on himself and for being involved with rogues. Hoping he's finished his obsession and not making a new plan we try to carry on as normal with our lives. I still have someone with me everywhere I go and pack warriors guarding the school for my safety. My meeting with the council is later today, I'm not as nervous as I thought I would be in all honesty. I think I'm finally ready the months of hard work and training all coming down to the council's word today.I woke up in a Reign sandwich, the twins cancelled training today so we could wake up together. The bedroom door bursts open, "Boys, get up and go make coffee. Time for the girls." Jas says as she comes bursting in my room at the school. The twins jump up shocked
Council of elders part 1We enter the meeting room and sit around a large oval shaped table, there are five quite intimidating looking elders in attendance watching us from their seats. I take out a seat and as usual Aries and Ajax take a chair to either side of me.The betas stand behind me and the Alphas, Rach and her Dad and Luna Jas sit next to Aries.A deep voice booming around the hall tells me to introduce my party.I stand confidently and jutt out my chin. You can do this Cierra, Ersa purrs at me egging me on in my head.Don't worry Cierra, I've got us if you slip.She says inside my head. We've been working on this, she will take control if I lose my nerve. I'm a lucky arse woman to have been paired with such a good wolf."My name is Cierra Cardle, future Luna of the High Moon Pack, this" I say, extending my arm and gesturing to my first mate. "Is Ajax Reign one of the future Alphas of High Moon and one of my fated. This," I say gesturing to Aries now, "Is Aries Reign, also f
Council of elders part 2The council members continue to stare sizing me up, some ask questions, some just stare at me blankly, no doubt trying to figure out whether they trust me or Argon.One of the elders kindly asked me to leave the room to find my mates while they had a discussion and they would call me back in when they were ready.I walk out into the waiting area, Ajax and Aries jump up, using their speed they are by my sides in seconds looking me over, looking from me to Bear."So how did it go?" Jas asks nervously."No idea." Bear replies, "It was hilarious though." He laughs a deep rumbling laugh making me smile.Bear tells everyone what happened quite animatedly considering his face usually says absolutely nothing, the guys have looks of shock, amusement and disgust by the end of the recap."So Argon is trying to sell his own story so he can come out of hiding huh? I'd like to get my hands on him." Aries growls out.Ajax grins at Aries and I know they have a silent conversa

I was not initially planning on writing a book 2 for High Moon but from all the request for a second book and the feedback from the first and how people have grown to love the characters i feel inspired so heres a little snip of what is to come.........Teaser for book 2 coming mid 2023Chapter OneTitan"Can you smell that amazing smell? I thought we were having something lemon for dessert but it never arrived. I keep catching the most amazing fresh lemon scent and my wolf is jumping around in my mind but he doesn't know what's wrong." I say to Our Luna and my good friend Cici. I turn my head trying to locate the scent. My eyes narrow in on a petite redhead and I realise she is staring right back at me.“Mate” My wolf calls out through my lips as I hear the same coming from the beautiful woman across from me. We rush towards each other as though were the only people around, everything else seems to have faded away as we finally land in each others arms. I lean into her neck and inhal
The End"Welcome all to High Moon Pack, I am Alpha Ajax and this is my brother Alpha Aries, this right here is our amazing mate and Luna Cierra." Ajax's voice booms around the hall as he welcomes the hundreds of packs that have travelled to our territory for the ball and the chance of finding they are fated. We're standing at the top table staring out at the beautifully decorated room, white table cloths and chair covers, yellow roses give a colour pop in the centres of the many tables spread out in front of us, lemon chair sashes tied into a beautifully presented bow adding a stunning touch of elegance. The white and yellow tones make for a bright, peaceful, and happy look. The room appears much brighter than usual, white drapes cover the usual stone walls, and the place is unrecognisably stunning. Jas and I made the perfect colour match choices. Great to see after hours of staring at swatches, nearly making me cross-eyed.I am standing between Ajax and Aries as we welcome the pack,
Planning a PartyAriesAjax and I leave Cierra's grandparents in their room, her grandma is too funny. The love her grandparents have for her is refreshing having only met those two people in her family. Cierra won't allow us to meet her parents, she hasn't spoken to them since she left for school on her very first day at High Moon nor have they tried to contact her.Cierra seems ok with the silence from them, though I do think my crazy mum makes up for it. Cierra and our mother are like two peas in a pod, Cierra is the daughter she never had and is super excited to have now.I walk back towards our room with Ajax at my side as we laugh about the night and look forward to having our little Luna to ourselves for a little before she's back to being the busy, loving luna she is. We only get her for a couple of hours each night because work gets in the way for us all, we all have our duties to attend to keep the pack running and safe and Cierra does a lot of extra work which has earned he
LunaCierra"I am so worried for them to get here""You'll be fine my love." Aries tries to soothe me."Baby, you worry too much. They might freak out a little, but we know this is important to you. let's just take the jump and see how it goes." Ajax tells me.My grandparents are arriving at the pack house today and the ball was arranged to be held at High Moon now we're all back and settled and the renovations to make our pack more accommodating for present and future members are just finished so all systems are a go right now.The ball will be held in two days. The twins and I are meeting with my grandparents over lunch, we are going to make an effort to explain our world to them. I would love it if they would come and live on our pack lands with us. I am a ball of nerves, what if they hate what I am? What if they believe me and decide they want nothing more to do with me? All these thoughts swirl around my head making me feel queasy as I try to steady my hand to draw the perfect ey
RenovationsI wake up sandwiched between my mates, the memories of last night's love making float around my head bringing a smile to my still swollen lips. There isn't a part of the room we didn't make love in before we all showered together and gave in to our exhaustion wrapped up in each other's arms.Today I plan to spend some time with Rach. I sent out a quick mind link for Hazel, my assistant to take the morning off and come with us, she is more than happy to join us. I sit up as my Alpha's start to wake from their slumber both raking their eyes up my naked body to my lips. I giggle at them both, "You two are insatiable." I say, falling into the blue and grey orbs looking up at me with hunger written in them. The twins look hot this morning with a just fucked look and their tousled dark brown hair falling over their faces slightly but, I am beyond girl time. One thing my mind just can't let go of though... "Aries, who was the she-wolf I saw you laughing with in the gardens?" I as
Im sorry Alpha's'Cierra, where are you?''Baby, you OK?''Cici the twins said they can't find you, you alright b*tch?'I wake to the twins and Rach trying to reach me via mind link, I jump up when I realise sh*t I fell asleep, I was just supposed to take some time to myself before I went back and spoke to my Alpha's, I feel great and refreshed until I remember Aries and that she-wolf from earlier, the way she giggled and he smiled back, the flowing conversation instead of his usual grunts and one word answers to anyone that isn't me. Uck it just won't leave me, this dread feeling in the pit of my stomach.I gather my thoughts and link Rach.'Hey girl, tell them to stop shouting I'm good. I just fell asleep.''Where? They said they checked your room' Rach replies through the link.'I'm not in our room, I need some headspace. I'll let them know to make their way there now, we need to talk some shit out. I freaked at them when they came home for leaving me and now I feel bad. Girl time
The return homeThe smell of blood is strong in the air as i feel something land next to me, I take a look and am staring in to the lifeless eyes of the b*stard that tried to take me for himself, Voux head shoots up to the source of the growl, I tip my head back to see my mates standing above us, they do not look happy to see me, well not like this anyway.Ajax and Aries stand there all but foaming at the mouth glaring between Voux and I.I smile and place my hand on Voux's chest to nudge him to let me up, he seems to register as he moves away and lends me a hand off the floor though the look on his face tells me he is scared for his life.I step to Ajax and Aries and place a hand on each of their arms before they can even consider opening their mouths."My loves, this is Voux and we were training. I clearly need to train harder because he just bested me, please take your jealous arses upstairs and let's discuss your journey and then the fact you left me here for three days." I say pu
Training with the lunaAjax and Aries left 3 days ago to find Argon. I'm expecting them back any day now, surely fuelled by the rage that he dared to take their Luna from their pack house under their noses. It shouldn't take them long to hunt him down.I miss my mates and Ersa has been whimpering in my head pining for them since an hour after they left, soppy ass wolf is cracking me up.Hey human, we share the same mind. I can hear your thoughts and I know all these feelings of sadness aren't just mine.I laugh inwardly at Ersa. She's so touchy sometimes.Hazel and I have been working away, she is a lovely woman and as I expected, great to have in my corner this lady has brains for days and I have to admit it's nice to have the babies around the office every now and again they're a cute little distraction from the gruelling work when I need it.Deanna the baby's nanny adores them and dotes on them as though they were her own grandchildren and Hazel is more than happy with the arrangem
