In chat Luna Aireka Wolversen of Black River Pack, Luna Raven Jones of Humber Valley Pack, Luna April? Luna Kate Daniels of the High Park PackRAVEN: [Is the Luna of the Red River Pack in this chat?]APRIL: [It’s just GTA love. The Red River Pack is in Northern Ontario. Why?]RAVEN: [Found out some odd things last night. I want to hear your thoughts on the feasibility and execution of it.]APRIL: [They declared war on your Pack again, didn’t they?]APRIL: [Yes. They experienced two attacks. We attacked once and lost three members when they attacked us. Two prisoners (forced mating), one rescued, & two deaths/They’ve lost many people in the attacks. I’m uncertain about the number or the attackers. Unsure if anyone survived or got hurt. I’m unsure of the number or identity of the attackers. They zoomed in, ravaged, and departed within minutes.]AIREKA: [You heard it?]RAVEN:
“Fine, Paul, follow up with Alpha Wolversen. Then get on with administering the punishments. I want our people to understand I won’t accept. I’ve got something to do here.” Dom said. He used his head to point toward Raven, who sat in the corner with the phone Luna Wolversen insisted she have. Now he wondered if he envied electronic devices. “She’s still not gone to see the healer?” Paul asked. “Should I ask him to come see her?” “No, I think it’s time I took an interest in finding out why she’s avoided seeing a healer.” Dom said. He didn’t like the idea that Raven shirked as he’d requested, commanded and demanded now. He didn’t understand what her reasoning for this could be. When he’d asked her, Raven pretended not to hear his question, and he’d reached the end of his patience. Did she assume he said this for appearances? No, he said it because he didn’t want his mate dying from an infection or internal bleeding. They may have fast heal
Dom watched the healer examine and treat Raven’s injuries. He noticed how many of those within the infirmary stopped and gawked at the sight of the enormous, dark bruises covering her back. She dismissed what they saw as normal and ordinary for her. Dominic, infuriated by the sounds, wanted to punch walls. This shouldn’t be an everyday occurrence. Dominic noticed the enforcers’ shocked faces mirroring his own. They learned about this full story of Raven and her mother as he uncovered the information. Who or what followed Alpha Klyne niggled at him. Was there a reason for him to worry about the attackers targeting Raven? Alpha Wolversen feared it too, and he had no answers either. It’s another reason he’d taken such a commanding lead in this. Alpha Wolversen wanted Dominic to gain a stable bond with his mate like himself. The stronger his belief, the better everyone's survival in Toronto. Raven didn’t know that almost four decades ago. Bef
Dominic took Raven back to our living quarters because the healer insisted Raven rest like some hothouse flower. She half expected him to ignore the healer’s recommendations, but he insisted Raven rest and follow all the instructions given to her. Eating, resting, and now looking, she was alone in Alpha’s living quarters after what felt like forever. Raven didn’t believe he’d ever trust her alone again. He left her to handle the investigation and his duties as Alpha. She’d noticed something odd as they’d made their way back up to their apartment. The silence and staring were odd and telling for Raven. Though she couldn’t understand what the silence meant. It could be icy disdain, detachment, or respect. She deemed it improbable. Raven rested, even though she doubted she would. Hours later, Dominic returned. He climbed into bed with her. Dom intended on sleeping, but Raven snuggled up to him when he least expected it. A simple check told him she wasn
Raven woke to find Dominic beside her. His arms wrapped around her. She couldn’t decide if he held her in a possessive or protective way. Raven knew she’d learn which when she learned what his mood was to her when he woke up. She wanted the truth, but could she handle it? Why hadn’t Dominic told her about what he’d found? He seemed so determined to find answers and punish those guilty of harming people. But Raven wasn’t sure if he was searching for who framed her mother because that’s who killed his mother. Or if he intended to find out what happened to her mother. Did she dare him to solve what happened to her mother? Or explain to her how he feels about her? Raven wondered if she asked for more trouble than she could handle if she dared him again. How would he react if she dared him? Raven never expected his first over the top reaction. After mating, would he react like this, it seemed, odd? Again. Females were supposed to be emotional with changi
Paul reported into Dominic a week later. “How is the Luna?” He asked, catching Dominic off guard. “She’s doing better. Most of her injuries are gone. Remember, how she remembers her aunt’s face with vagueness even though she’s her mother’s litter mate and twin? That appears to extend to entire periods of time in her life.” Dominic tried to keep his anger and frustration from his voice, but he couldn’t do it. The arm of the chair he sat in suffered his wrath too, as his claws gouged into the wood. “What? How did this happen?” Paul sounded as confused as Dom. It explained so much about her odd behavior. She seemed so broken. Well, if she didn’t remember chunks of her memories. Then yes, she would feel broken. How did they miss that? Dominic assumed that she’d remembered her time with a person whose face blurred in her memory. Not that the memory was gone. “Uncertain about it, but I won’t pressure her to know. I made the mistake of asking h
“What? Where is she? Did Klyne provide any information about Hilary’s whereabouts or survival? What is going on there?” “No. I’m still waiting to get that answer now Dom. Sorry. Alpha Klyne’s in surgery. But we did find out what attacked them, and you won’t like what they’re claiming it was.” “What?” “Nightmares.” Dominic said. He could hear the unease in Paul’s voice as he said this one word. The initial thought: black horse, red eyes, fire-breathing. That’s just one of many versions. These monsters were gatekeepers of a sort. Meant to keep shifters in their place. Not just shifters, vampires, druids, and other creatures. Nightmares are more of a catch-all name for a creature used to hunt the slave species who rebelled against their Fae overlords. The slave species trapped their Fae overlords in their home realm or dimension. It depends on the story and generation you read how it’s defined. Mages are finding magic and science-based docu
Irish Luck doesn’t require existence. Never wish it on anyone. Never mention it. Even in a third hand fashion. Irish luck is always extreme. Or bad, most often bad. “How did they manage to arrive here? I thought the realms weren’t connected anymore?” “Confirmation received - Dream Realm repaired, connection restored. Gregory cleared his throat again. He seemed uncomfortable.” The oracles seem occupied, not just with the Goddess.” “What do you mean ‘just’ the Goddess?” Dominic asked. They were aware of others who existed like her, but the others paid no attention to them. Before this, they didn’t bother with low-level shifters and similar beings. No one grasped what they meant by low. Humans were also too low. “There’s something going on. I don’t know. But I get the feeling we’ll learn soon enough, and I felt something, the Fae that are trying to enter. They'll be surprised when they meet these others. The best description I c
