I decide to stay locked in my room for the rest of the day despite the protests from the gang at the door asking me to come out or let them in. I just need some time to myself to settle in and figure out what to say to Titan. I don't want to be in a relationship right now, not this serious with a guy I just met anyway.
I wake up Sunday morning feeling a little better and thinking maybe I overreacted, I look at the clock and decide to get ready and go down for brekfast much to my stomachs relief I haven't eaten since yesterday morning.
I throw on some nude joggers and matching cropped hoodie, my white training shoes and make my hair look somewhat presentable in a neat, high ponytail. As I'm heading down the hall Titan spots me and makes a bee line for me. "Rach is on her way up to your room, I'll come wait with you I was just heading over to apologise for yesterday, I dont know what came over me." He says in a genuine tone throwing his arm casually around my shoulders in a 'youll clearly forgive me' kinda way.
I glance up to look in his face to try and gage what he's feeling but his face is blank and void of emotion, the usual brooding look there. We walk back to my room the silence hanging over us. I was riled up to give him a piece of my mind and here he is apologising and now I don't know what to say.
He heads to the bathroom and closes the door. The door opens minutes later and he shouts me in to him. "Do you have a hand towel please?" He asks as I get to the door.
" Yes, in the drawer, here I'll get you one." I say as I bend to open the drawer.
The adjoining door opens and the most god looking guy comes walking in clad In just a pair of boxer shorts. I realise I'm staring and go to stand up straight when another guy just as sexy walks through the door again clad in just underwear. These guys are hot and I mean hot like im burning up and they are on fire hot! They're like a mirror image of each other. They have to be identical twins. They are really tall, got to be at least 6ft 11 and my word when I say these guys are as chiseled as a sculpture, They both have 'just woke up' looking dark brown hair, short on the back and sides, long and wavy on the top. My mouth goes dry but before my brain can catch up they both grab an arm each, within a flash Titan is behind me grabbing me around the waist and trying to pull me away. The boys let out a growl aimed at Titan, yes a growl. And say "mine" in unison.
Titan let's go immediately, bows his head and storms out of the bathroom leaving me stood with these two now scary looking hotties just looking between each other. I try to pull my wrists away but their grips tighten and they let out another low growl.
"I..I'm s..s..sorry I should have locked the door.. can you both let go please?" I manage to stutter out.
They make no effort to loosen their grip, they just stand staring their mesmerising eyes glued to me. "Please? Yous are kind of hurting me." They let go immediately at my plea concern now lacing their handsome features.
I turn to scurry away and run right in to Rach. I look at her a pleading look on my face.
"Go wait in the bedroom Cici I'll be in in a minute." She barks not taking her eyes off the two men standing in my bathroom.
I sit on my bed wondering why Titan just left me in there, he looked like he couldnt stay not that he wouldnt, he seemed sad, I think I cant really tell, his gorgeous face always looks the same.
Someone pulls me in to a pool and he goes in to a rage, 2 guys grab me in my bathroom and he leaves me. What on earth was that growling about from them all? Titan walks over to me I hadn't seen him sat on the sofa, he sits next to me and just simply says 'I'm sorry I really did like you' he kisses my cheek softly, gets up and walks out leaving me alone on my bed.
"You are going to scare her off, shit with Titan being all over her from the word go..." I hear Rach say.
"Titan what? I'll kill him for touching what's mine" I hear a male voice reply.
What the hell is this? I think to myself leaning forward to get a better listen.
"Calm down Alpha, he didn't know she was yours, you weren't here to claim her remember." Rach replies I think she's sticking up for Titan but what am I a toy? I'm a nearly 17 year old girl I'm no one's property. I'm getting angry just hearing this conversation.
"She doesn't seem to know about us so just get your shit together and try talking to her first, then, when you get to know her we can tell her about our world. Going in there grabbing her and mating and marking her would just make her reject you bothand i like her! I want her for our Luna." Rach says now pleading.
"It's taking everything in me not to run to her right now, how am I supposed to be anywhere near her and not make her mine?" One male voice gruffly replies.
"Me too brother" comes another voice
"Well you guys need to calm down she's human for goddess sakes you are acting like horny teens right now not future Alpha's. Pull your shit together, I'll introduce you at brekfast." Rach says and I hear her walking towards the door, future Alpha? I'm human? What else would I be? I feign ignorance as Rach comes storming out of the bathroom slamming the door.
"Come on, I need to eat let's go meet the guys." Rach says and starts to pull me out of the room, I ask her the questions I asked myself and am met with half assed answers and 'I'll tell you another time hun, just don't worry.'
Don't worry!! Is she kidding? She's just been arguing with two hot gods about not claiming me and me being theirs like I'm property and she doesn't seem to want to acknowledge that just happened.
I realise I'm not getting anywhere but I am hungry so I continue on my way to the cantene I walk infront of Rach and grab myself an egg and sausage muffin, coffee and a water. I make my way to the others who are already at the table, they all seem to be looking at me as if I have two heads. Kay is the first to speak, "We missed you yesterday girl, how are you doing?"
"I'm good I was just tired and a little overwhelmed, it was alot for my first two days and I just needed time to get my head around things." I reply honestly, Titan is sitting in the spot he was originally sat in on the first day leaving a couple seats empty either side of me.
We involve ourselves in chit chat and the group tells me all about my classes and teachers I have tomorrow, in all honesty I'd welcome scheduled classes right now to not have to pretend I'm OK and give me something to concentrate on other than the unanswered questions floating around in my head.
Rach comes to the table and sits a seat away from me leaving one empty either side, I give her a quizzical look. Before I can shuffle up to her a tray is placed either side of me and the men from my bathroom this morning take the seats.
Shit! How do I move away without seeming rude, I still feel a bit on edge after this morning, not mentioning the fact they seem to think I belong to them.
"Cici, these are the twins, Aries and Ajax Reign." Rach introduces. I look to both in turn and smile quickly going back to my food. "Hi" I say in a quiet voice.
The one on my left starts to speak, "Sorry about this morning not a good first impression." He says rubbing the back of his neck shyly.
"Yes me too I apologise we got off on the wrong foot. Nice to meet you Cici?" The other one questions, I've no idea what name goes to what hunk, Rach just said their names, didn't say which one was which and I don't want to ask.
They obviously caught on to my confusion as the first places his hand on my thigh and says, "I'm Ajax, he's Aries." His hand feels warm on my thigh and strangely not entirely unwelcome. I glance at Titan wondering what has changed, he just gives me a very slight smile and goes back to his food.
Ajax didn't remove his hand from my thigh, I ignored it just like I had Titans until another hand rested on my other thigh dangerously high up, my breathe hitched. what the hell is with the men here is it normal just to sit and hold someone's leg?
"How are you finding High Moon?" Ajax asks,
I think for a minute and reply "Um I really like it here actually. Apart from all the men seem possesive and weird, even feeling the need to touch me." I giggle hoping they would move their hands but they keep them firmly placed. Along with the group I tell them all about my first day, about the sleepover, I get to the part about getting in bed
"I was tired so I climbed in and ended up wrapped up in Rach and Titan"
Everyone let's out a little giggle thinking of me being stuck in between all of them in my bed. Not the twins though they let out a low dangerous growl, almost animalistic and Titan gets up to leave the table looking as though he had just been winded. I jump up to follow him I want to know what's happening, what's changed, Titan has gone from looking brooding and fearless to acting like a scared puppy.
I chase Titan down and stop him just as he's getting in to the lift, I decide to head back to my room and jump in with him.
"Titan, what the hell is going on? You went from brooding and protective to distant in seconds. Once those twins showed up the whole dynamics changed and I want to know why! You kissed me, now you'll hardly look at me. What is it?" I ask him practically begging for answers.
"Cierra, I like you I really do but I didn't know this would happen with them and now I can't even try to fight my corner, they're great guys, lucky...but great guys. Give them both a chance." He says his chocolate eyes a little lighter and glassier than usual.
"you mean date both twins? No thanks." I snort back.
The lift pings open on our floor and he walks out quickly, leaving me behind.
I made my way to my room, I had put my number in everyone's phones last night and was added to a group chat with everyone. I looked over the chat debating wether to text or not, curiosity won and I decide to send a text. Listen guys idk what's going on here but I don't want to hear a thing from any of you unless it's an explanation! First your all great, then Titan is possessive and kisses me out of the blue, sleeps next to me cuddling me then the twins turn up & think they have some kind of claim to me? I'm not even sure what that shit was about but I'm done with it all, I'm noones possession and both of you? You're brothers why would I be with both of you? Rach you've got some explaining to do!! all of you have.Ajax: Titan did what? Titan: Calm down man I didn't know this was going to happen I'm sorry I left as soon as you claimed her this morning.Me: Didn't know that what was going to happen?Kay : I reckon now you know you should just tell her, you'll have to eventuallyTash
I begin to stir from my slumber and think back to the very strange dream I had. Rach turning in to a big coppery ginger wolf, yeh right I need to stop watching these warewolf and vampire films they're amazing but clearly I'm loosing my marbles. It felt so real. I sit up and look to the bedside table for a bottle of water, "sh*t" I curse and jump as I notice the two handsome guys sat at my bedside asleep in chairs they have pulled over from the lounge area. What the hell are they doing here, wait, no, no this cannot, the dream, wolf, Rach. My brain is trying to figure out what on earth has happened, what's real? What isn't? Surely it was just a dream.Ajax begins to stir, he looks over to me and sits up smacking Aries to wake him never taking his eyes off me as if I might run."What the fuck man?" Aries berates his brother as he comes round from his slumber. His eyes follow Ajax line of vision to me"Oh, Hi baby... err Cierra." He says in a soft sleepy voice.I begin to back away as
We arrive at Mrs. Matthews office after lunch. I am feeling a little nervous, I wonder if she knows. Oh! I wonder if she is one of them surely she must know she is running a school of wolves? Ajax knocks on the head teachers door and within seconds it is being opened. "Better late than never. I'm assuming that the three of you here is good news and I'm in the company of the future Luna and her Alpha's?" Mrs Matthews asks her eyebrow raised awaiting an answer."Actually we have only explained the basics but Cierra has agreed to let us show her what it would be like to live in our world and give us a chance before she makes any decisions." Ajax says back almost immediately." Okay, well then. I have just called your parents back in they're in the staff room having lunch they will be here any minute." As she finishes speaking the door opens and a tall man very similar looking to the twins and just as handsome comes striding in holding open the door for a beautiful woman with thick blon
We get to my room and I explain to the guys that I'd like to turn in early to be bright and ready for tomorrow's classes. They don't seem too pleased about leaving me but they don't protest either. Instead, they both give me a quick kiss and head off. I arrange my books for tomorrow and change into some light pink flannel pajamas, braid my hair down my back and crawl into bed. I look at the time, 8 pm it's still early so I grab my phone and decide to text Aries. Me: Hey, you still awake? Dots appear at the corner of my screen right away telling me he is writing out a reply. Aries: yes my love, you okay? Me: yeah I was just thinking about earlier... Aries: when? Me: When you commented on my outfit, then when you looked angry that I was talking with Titan Aries: OK love, what about it? Me: I don't think this can work if that's the way you are going to act just over an outfit and me talking with another guy, your friend no less I thought you had dropped that? Aries: Cierra, I'm
The rest of the group arrive and we all sit spread out on my bed and watch a film, the twins sit next to each other and I half sit on each of their laps. Each one has a hand on my thigh. - I wake up Saturday morning wrapped in the twins who are trapped against me by Tasha and Manda. I lay awake for a minute listening to everyone snoring away."Happy Birthday beautiful, want to go get coffees while everyone is asleep?" I look up to Aries and he kisses me on the nose, I nod my head and we both slowly climb out of the bed, pull on some joggers and a tee and make our way down to the cantene to get some coffees and muffins to take back up to everyone. When we get back up to my room everyone is awake and waiting for us.Ajax shoots Aries an annoyed look as we walk in and mumbles something under his breath. Aries clearly hears him as he let's out a low chuckle. I am really starting to get attached to these twins of mine. Ajax walks over, picks me up bridal style once I put the coffee down
I drift off to sleep five minutes in to the hour drive, my head leaning on Aries shoulder. Ajax seems to think I need more bonding time with Aries than I do him, Aries took the back seat with me. My Alpha's look so handsome today in their black combats and plain white tees, muscles evident through the fabric.I'm lightly shaken awake, the guys faces in mine. "We're here beautiful." I give myself a minute to wake up and start to move out of the car. The place is beautiful, a big old fashioned castle-looking building stands around 6 stories high. The car is pulled in to a kind of circle with a small garden in the middle, bright green grass, a stone path down the middle. Mini palm trees are lined up under the windows either side of the main entrance. The brick is a light sandy colour the building looks old and elegant. Just the look of this place is a little intimidating. On the grounds infront of the pack house are rows and rows of beautifully built houses with floor to veiling windo
I feel like a princess in this dress, it just sweeps the floor as I walk. Jasmine had thought of everything, nude wedges, undergarments matching my dress colour, no words der the guys said I wouldn't need to pack to come here! I have a surprise for my Alpha's tonight. That has a nice ring to it doesn't it? I think to myself... My Alpha's, now who's feeling possessive, I let out a light giggle at my own thoughts and am met with a questioning look on both the twins faces as we stand before the doors to enter the main pack dining room I think the twins called it. "Just thinking of something funny that's all, I think I'm ready." As I finish speaking the twins push the doors open and the room quietens, everyone at the tables stand and nod in respect. The twins lead me to a long table at the top of the dining room, decorations adorning the ceilings and walls of this room too in celebration of my birthday.We reach our table and the twins wait for me to sit then take the seats either side of
We spend around an hour conversing with the throng of pack members congregated in this fine hall to meet their new Luna and I start to feel tired, I place my head on Ajax shoulder as he speaks with... I think it was Bear his father's Beta. Aries notices and bends down to my ear "Ready for bed my love?" He asks quietly. I turn leaving Ajax side and face him and give a small nod, he takes my hand and starts to lead me out of the room. I slow a little looking back to where Ajax is stood he is still engrossed in conversation. "I told him we're leaving love don't worry he will be up soon he and the Beta are just talking pack business we don't just learn from our dad, all roles have something to teach us." Aries says. I nod my head and continue to walk beside him. As we get to the elevator I hear a voice "Aries, good to see you back. Is this human your new toy?" The girl pouts, "Did I not make a good enough impression?" She whines at him. As she moves closer I see how bewitching she is. He
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
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
