2024-10-29 19:42:56“Jax’s POV”
Today my family and I, Luna Tonya and Alpha Timothy the current Aplha and Luna of Red River pack, are visiting a small village outside the pack house. This village is farther than the rest and is the last stop before we go back home. We came because last week was my 18th birthday, and we had week long celebrations to attend to. This gave me the chance to meet more pack members and to learn more about the role of Alpha. Although I must say I’m pretty spent with it. Not wanting to be around the crowds of women throwing themselves to their knees, and the men that wanted to be my next in command, I decided I was going to sneak off today. I drove myself on my motorcycle so that way I could do what I wanted. Parking it near the center of town my mother, father, and I great people. Everyone is throwing themselves at us and being overly nice, so when no one is looking and I get the chance to sneak off I do. Ducking into an alley way I make my way around the town, walking and looking at all of the small shops that seem very middle-aged compared to my modern home at the pack house. I don’t visit this town so thankfully no one recognizes me as the Alpha prince yet, everyone to busy and making their way to the center of town.
Being so busy with school and my upcoming duties I don’t get this time to myself often, most times I’m busy training. Lost in my thoughts I continue down a small cobblestone path leading me to a smaller shop, Helen’s Goods. But it’s not the shop that intrigues me, but the girl with the black scarf and long ashen hair. I’ve never seen her before, not even at pack gatherings. Though I know it’s not uncommon I’m still curious of who she is. Following her into the shop I go and walk around the shops tables and aisles. As I’m looking the most wonderful smell hits my nose, like flowers mixed with the smell fresh tilled soil, earthy and beautiful. But that means that she is here. Where is she? I start to look around using my nose to sniff the air, and the smell is coming from her. Who is she? Can she not smell me too? Glancing up to look at her I see her walking out the store, I have to follow her. Following her over to her car I approach my dark boots clunking against the cobblestone. I walk over to her watching her shuffle her bags and then dropping her keys to the ground.
“Oh come on,” her angelic voice says,
“Need a hand” I ask with a smile, waiting for her to notice me.
“No, I just dropped my damn keys” she mumbles and adjust the bags in her hands, but before she can bend down to grab them I swiftly lean down grab them, turn around and unlock her car. Popping the truck and turning around to face my beautiful mate, why is she hiding her face? Does she not want to be my mate?
As she turns back around I catch her looking at me for a moment, maybe she knows? Looking at her beautiful heart shaped face with beautiful blue eyes with hints of shimmer, her long ashen hair hanging in her face but slightly pinned back with the scarf I notice something. Is that a scar? Who the hell scarred this beautiful girl, my beast roars in my head telling me to swoop her up and take her home to keep her safe forever. But I know I can’t just kidnap this girl, mate or not she has a choice.
“Keys please” she interrupts my thoughts
“Not even going to say thank you or ask my name?” I tease her hoping she would talk and stay with me. I’m going to have to tell her if she doesn’t say it soon. My beast is going mad inside me.
“Okay, thank you” she replies sarcastically, “even though I denied it” she smiles slightly then walks over and quickly grabs her keys from my hand. This girl has got some fire in her, speaking to a grown werewolf of my rank. She should feel my power I radiate. So why is she playing hard to get.
“It’s Jax” I say to her
Following her to her door she stops and turns looking at me, taking me in from head to toe. So she’s clearly interested, right? I’m not seeing things. She gives me a curt smile that doesn’t quite reach those beautiful eyes.
“Thanks Jax” she says before getting in her car and leaving me standing there. I watch her back out and the direction she goes.
Making a decision I know I will probably regret later I run across town and hop on my bike. Heading out of town and following her scent. I may regret this but I have to know who she is and why she didn’t notice me as a mate. My beast is going insane with the thought of rejection and the pain that follows.. surely she will want us?

“Katie’s POV” When I got home I decided to go for a run with my wolf, Gypsy, leaving my clothes neatly folded by my door for when I return I take off towards the side of the house. Walking into the trees, my paws sinking into the dirt under them I feel a sense of calm come over me. Running alone with my wolf is the only thing in this world that makes me feel free, and I’m never alone when I have her. We are two of the same, she has protected me and kept me safe for years when we were alone. Fighting off other rouges and unmated crazy driven males, tracking the scent of my heats. I’m beyond lucky to have survived the horrible life I was dealt, but now I’m just happy to have found some sort of a home, some sort of piece for my broken soul. Starting to pick up my pace I run from my little cabin, being miles away from everybody and secluded i don’t have to worry about running into many people. If I do it’s typically wolfs from town out on runs, and they make sure to stay away from my are
Lost Luna Chapter Six Greetings
Standing next to the river I am finishing gathering the fish I have tossed onto the bay, completely naked the air breezes past my bits making a chill go through me. Quickening my pace I gather the fish that I caught onto the rope i put it through their mouths and loop it through the gills of the catfish. Glancing around I feel like something is coming, not dangerous but something is going to happen kind of feeling. Another breeze across the rippling blue river sends another chill down my body, I have better shift into Gypsy before I end up sick. Tying the rope into a tight not i shift back into Gypsy and take the rope into our mouth. The catfish dangling as the rope gets pulled up, swings back and forth slightly, the smell of fish hitting my nose making it crinkle some. As much as I come her to fish I swear the smell of fish will always get to me, but it does make a pretty good meal. Ignoring it like always I trot back towards the path leading to my cabin. Happy with my big catch toda
Lost Luna Chapter Seven: Greetings Part two
“Katie’s POV” Runnning towards that smell my heart is beating faster, my fear is slipping into the back of my mind. The anticipation creeping into me. Then I see him, skidding to a hault paws digging deep into the dirt. I look at him and his wolf form. His wolf twice the size of mine and intimidating. My wolf is a bit bigger than most too, but his is huge. His massive black paws, and his shimmering black coat reminding me of dark nights chilly nights. The sky so dark the stars look like glitter shimmering through its cracks. Bringing a mixture of wonder and curiosity. Two grey eyes, look to me. Shining like polished steel with hints of dull blues, so simple. But so captivating. He lowers his head and ears and takes a step forward, not sure what he’s suppose to do. His head slightly tilting looking at me. I shake out my coat and the trance I was in, and nod my head back down the path to the cabin. The fish in my mouth that I was carrying swaying back and forth. Realizing what I’m get
Lost Luna Chapter Eight: Talk
“Katie’s POV” “We should talk” I say. He looks at me and smiles and my heart flips upside down in my chest. “We definitely should talk, hell I don’t even know your name yet” he teases me. “My names Katie,” I reply sheepishly, resuming my cooking and preparing the potatoes and carrots I’ll make with fish. Feeling heat rise to the back my neck, “I’m sorry,” I go on, “I’m not exactly use to many people actually wanting to talk to me, and I really wasn’t paying much attention earlier..” I mumble, cutting potatoes a little more aggressive than needed. “You know,” I start rambling again, “I didn’t think the Moon Goddess was going to bless me with a mate. Or to even have a mate that would consider talking to me or having me in eye sight, especially after..” I motion up. A frown on my face and my heart feeling crushed at the words. I know it naught not be true but better to prepare myself. Cutting more I don’t know what else to say. Suddenly his hand is on mine, the tingles like electri
Lost Luna Chapter Nine: Story of a Princess
“Katies POV” After finishing our plates, I clear them off in my small trash can tucked under my sink. The clinking of the dishes echoing in the silence of the small cabin. Placing the plates into the sink I turn around and look at Jax, he’s staring at me waiting for me to start talking. The silence stretching further into the night like millions of stars that cover the sky. Taking a deep breath and sighing I walk back over to the table and take a seat across from Jax, him watching my every move like I would somehow magically disappear. Scooting in the chair it squeaks across the plain wood floor, anticipation making the air thick and hard to breathe. He reaches his hand across the table and grabs mine, giving it a squeeze and soothingly running his thumb across the top my hand. Tingles shoot up my arm at his touch, like a gun receiving it’s power to shoot. I look him in the face, his stunning stone grey eyes captivating me. Taking a deep breath and letting his touch calm me some I st
Lost Luna Chapter Ten: Panic Attack
“Katie’s POV” His words sink into my bones like a flood overtaking it’s surroundings, submerging me into its coldness. I realize just how much my life will change if I accept him. Everything I’ve worked for and done will be lost in the wind behind me. My breath stops coming and I feel myself get dizzy, my breath catching in my lungs like breeze in a sail. “Hey Katie, hey,” I hear a voice talking to me but My vision is blurry and my surroundings are fogged. I can’t make sense of this right now. Leaving my home.. I cant. “Katie, baby, it’s okay breath.” Jax is now infront of me and looking at me with such concern. Like a little girl who broke her dolly. “Katie you don’t have to come if you don’t want to, but I really really want to start my life with you by my side.” He says softly, staring at my face. His brows are scrunched tight together again, his face holding so much worry and concern that I might just say no. My heart tugs in pain at the thought of letting him walk, but also a
Lost Luna Chapter Eleven: New Beginnings
“Jax’s POV” I woke early, rays of sunlight streaming through the light grey curtains, Katie clinging to my side. Her leg is over mine and her arm is draped around my torso, holding me by her side. After everything she has been through I don’t blame her for holding so tightly. To lose everything.. I couldn’t imagine the pain. How could this beautiful girl have such a haunting past. To go from one day being a princess to the next being a rogue, my finger brush long locks of her ashy brown hair from her face. So much she had to endure, and at such a young age. This gorgeous girl has more strength than a thousand warriors could fathom, my hand trails from her long hair letting it fall and slip through my fingers. This all captivating girl has captured my love, I can’t let her slip away. I watch her sleep, her face suddenly scrunching in worry. I can feel fear through our bond, and so much pain.. it’s not strong as when we mate and mark, but I can still feel her. Rubbing my thumb gently a
Lost Luna Chapter Twelve: Bike Ride
"Katies POV" Riding on the bike with Jax I have never felt more freed, the wind whistling by us as i grip tightly onto Jax. Piece by tiny piece, this man is filling holes in my heart that I thought would've been empty forever. The walls are slowly coming down the more time we spend together. Up the road from us I see the town house tops. We are entering the center of Red River, a bigger town in the middle of a bunch of smaller towns, houses, and land. As we slow down, we pull closer into town, the trees around us stop blurring past and clear back out. I can already see their packed house in the center of everything, it stands tall and looming. The black brick and red trim give a sophisticated feel. We roll through the outskirts of town, people staring at us as we pass by. i don't understand why some of them look so angry. Soon enough, we slowed down and came to a small restaurant, a small beige-colored brick accented with hints of dark blue. The sign above the door is labeled Wolf De

Lost Luna Chapter Fifty: The End
Using every last bit of courage, I screamed. Screaming as loudly as I could, and even though it came out choked, a blast of energy exploded from my chest. I watch as Oliver is blasted back across the other side of the river, his body colliding with a tree and bending in an ugly way. There's no way he survived that... Thinking about being over there, I warped through time again. Closing my eyes as if I were blinking, and transporting myself to be right in front of his mangled body. Covering my face, and turning away for a moment, I collected myself. Gasping, I stepped back two steps. He was lying with his back legs still half wrapped around the tree. Both legs were clearly broken. I could hear the wheezing breaths he took in slowly. He was not conscious and he didn't move. Noticing a knife on his side, I reached over and grabbed it, quickly pulling it from its sheath. The lighter wooden handle feels smooth in my hand, and a dragon is cast into it and runs down its blade. Intricate deta
Lost Luna Chapter Forty-Nine: Run Again Princess.
Running again. Why am I always running? My feet splash in a puddle as the rain starts falling harder. The sound of it echoed through the red hazy night. I have been running for three hours and my breath comes out in foggy bursts. The air is thick like this with the rising fog and humidity. Stopping, I listen around me. I have only run into him once. My body reacted and zapped me... Well, I don't know where I am anymore. Walking up a hill, I see a road dead in front of me, a car's lights pass by and the speed of it whips my hair back and out of my face.Climbing, I stumbled forward. Catching myself with my good arm, I half army crawl up. One more step, I can hear the traffic and see the headlights fading in and out. A stick snaps behind me. Looking back, I saw him, I saw his piercing green eyes and menacing smile. My stomach dropped to my ass. Falling to my rear, I put my hand up and sent a tornado of leaves and sticks right at him. He claps his hands and my small tornado disappears. H
Lost Luna Chapter Forty-Eight: Out Running Time.
"Jax's POV" -The day Katie disappeared- If Katie thought I would leave her, she wasn't thinking correctly. Sitting on a bench, I am still a distance away. As I was walking away, I heard her say she had seen him before in a dream, and now I am definitely not going to leave her side. Keeping a distance, I sat under a tree and watched. My elbows on my knees with my hands clasped together, both feet on the ground ready to jump into action. Watching as my gorgeous mate floods the arrogant asshole who claimed he could help her, I just don't understand why she couldn't see what I saw. I could see the danger he held. As if the universe is out to prove me right, I see him moving closer. Waving his hand as my mate fell through the cracks of the earth, her scream sent chills through my spine. My wolf took control in seconds. Standing up, I shifted and immediately started gaining speed, but the portal that swirled on the ground closed in on itself like a black hole. Since when could he teleport!
Lost Luna Chapter Forty-Seven: Good Girl.
COULD BE TRIGGERING(Spoiler-Katie loses the baby, you could skip to Oliver's POV halfway through the chapter if this is a triggering topic for you.)Waking up, my arm is immediately the first thing I notice, then the cramping in my stomach. Going to reach down to my stomach, my one good free hand is chained to a bed post. Wait.. Looking around, I notice the dull pink, princess-style bed post that held my chain and towered up and towards the pillows, pink and dusty. This is my old room. Shimming up on the floor, I get myself standing using the bedpost. More cramps had me half doubling over. Looking around more, I see a photo of me, my father, and my mother sitting on the dusty bedside table. My heart shatters. The image is dull, the frame and glass covered in dust. My stomach cramps again, and I feel moisture come between my legs. I'm losing my baby..."OLIVER!" I yelled out, at least he was nice enough to splint my broken arm. "WHAT DID YOU DO?" I screeched. Another cramp and I could
Lost Luna Chapter Forty-Six: The Day Before Continued..
"Katie's POV"Sitting on my knees, I look at the palace that towers before me. The sun behind it turned the sky orange and pink as it set. The mountains surrounding me towered even taller, touching the clouds. A dewy fog rolled from the bottoms of the mountain, filling the air with the smell of rain and clarity. Tears flowed from my eyes, I forgot how beautiful it was here. The mixture of awe swirled with pain, my heart aching in my chest. A thousand memories stabbed into my chest as I sat there on my knees. Standing, I took hesitant steps forward, my feet dragging. Putting my hand on the rusted iron gate that towered over me, it creaked loudly against the hinges. My feet landed with light thuds as I walked through the abandoned kingdom. Overgrown trees and grass made it eerily strange. This looked like the place I once played and explored, but now it was covered in vines and overgrown with weeds. The once small shops and houses fell in on themselves. Wild animals could be heard scatt
Lost Luna Chapter Forty-Five: The Day Before
"Katie's POV" Following Oliver, I kissed Jax before going further into the training area. Nerves were coursing through my veins. I may not have told Jax about the dream or that I suspected I knew whom it was. He was going to be in the packhouse dealing with pack business in a first level office, ready to be mind-linked if I needed him. His hesitant goodbye was understandable, but I needed to figure out this one on my own.. I can't risk his life either. Oliver had already made his way to the middle, walking to meet him. I was on guard and ready. I wasn't going to give in easily, and looking at him today, I recognize he is one of my dreams. Those green eyes, so haunting and expressionless, I wonder if he knows something more too. His black hair tied neatly again at the nape of his neck, and his striking green eyes searched my every move. "I've seen you before." I started the conversation, the air growing thicker ever every moment. Jumping right to my questions before he could say anyth
Lost Luna Chapter Forty-Four: Tickles
"Katie's POV"Lacing up my shoes, I sigh loudly. Jax is angry because I chose to train with Oliver again. He sits on the edge of the bed, his big shoulders slightly sagging."I just don't understand why you would want to train with him after yesterday, Katie." He said for the third time in this conversation since we've been talking about it all morning."I told you baby, he is right. I need to get control of my powers, it's hard enough to even summon it willingly. His methods are a little rough around the edges, sure. BUT, I am a grown girl. I can handle it." I walk over, gently smootching his cheek. Even though he was angry, I know he understands. He huffs as he digs his phone out his pocket, pulling up a racing game. Walking to the center of the room, I start stretching my muscles. I was a little sore after doing so much yesterday, if anything, it showed me how out of shape I've become. As I stretch the sound of Jax's race goes on behind me. If today was like anything like yesterday
Lost Luna Chapter Forty-Three: Battlefields and Bears
"Katie's POV""That's it!" I stood quickly and raised my hands. A powerful wind pushing dirt in Oliver's direction before cycloning around him. With a sound of a snap it all flew right back out. Poofing into the air, the dirt floated down to the ground like snow. Slowly, Oliver could be seen pacing my direction. Frozen like stone, I watched waiting for another shot to come my direction."I see the princess does have some spice!" He exclaimed loudly, sarcastically clapping his hands as he got closer."You know I am pregnant!" I shouted back, furious that he went so hard."I do," his foot steps paused three feet from me. "All the more reason you need to protect yourself." Raising his hand, he summoned fire. It twirled in his fingers as my panic soared. The moment he twitched to even move, I felt a pulse radiate from my body. Throbbing, it felt as it came from deep inside me. Looking him in his eyes, I let go. Pointing my hands straight, ice crystals form like little daggers and flew tow
Lost Luna Chapter Forty-Two: Meeting You.
"Green-eyes POV" Sitting in Justices room, I am finally in the packhouse. We introduced me to her father and mother, and the Alpha and Luna of this pack. Justice giving me an outstanding resume. Looking around the princess styled room, she had made the guest room altered to her style. Looking around it's littered in different shades of pinks and lavender, so much it makes my stomach turn. Accents of white fluffy carpet, curtains, and pillows scattered here and there. Leaning agaisnt the bottom bed post I look at my phone, sighing, I check the time. 1:22. It was almost time for my little training appoitment, and sweet escape from this witch. Smiling to myself I looked over to her sitting with her back against the pillows and her legs half dangling from the bed. With three more days til the blood moon, plans have been picking up pace. Justice ran into Katie a few days ago, and the spell I cast is working. Justice sits on the bed, her legs crossed at the ankles as she scrolls through he
