2024-10-29 19:42:56“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 getting at he turns ad leads the way, scouring the woods around us and ears straight up looking for any danger. Although there’s no one out here but us. Turning his head back his wolf looks at mine again, and i see him staring at my face. My scar on full display in the form. My ashen grey coat darker towards my paws, and lighter down my back. My snout is darker grey as well, but between my eye and temple I know my fur is a mix of white and scar. Running about the size of a hand, that was made of lava and fire, tried to run its finger through my fur, leaving a trail of flesh and damage in its action.
Turning back towards the path our wolves trot back down the path, Jax’s tail swishing in-front of me and him staying on high alert. Ready to defend and attack if needed. Reaching the end of the path and coming up on the break in the trees he slows down. Coming to a stop, I tilt my head. I swear I could see him smile at my reaction. He paws at the ground and my eyes land on his clothes. I could feel my ears turn pinkish. I shake my head up and down nodding and move by him to head to the front of the cabin so I could get dressed to. Putting the fish in a bucket I left on the price I quickly change back into my human form and my clothes. Picking up the bucket, I pause. Calling out I say
“I’m making food, you can come in”
Walking in I leave my front door open. Allowing him to come in when he was ready. Going over to the little square table I have on one side of the cabin I put the fish down and get out a cutting board and prepare my fish cutting off it’s head with the hunting knife I keep on the table. I strip it’s guts and throw the discarded pieces of fish into the small bucket. Looking behind me, I see him standing in the doorway his black tshirt snug around his muscular shoulders. His arm crossed and his head tilted watching me as I prepare dinner, for two. I know what is coming and it’s the conversation. I know he wants to know why I live out here alone. Why I am scarred. Maybe he’s just trying to be polite before he rejects me.. I’m not sure what, but I do know that the talk is coming. Looking back at the fish and doing the task at hand I continue, letting him watch me from the door. After I prepare the fish and put it aside to cook I wash my hands and turn to him.
“Do you want to stay for dinner and eat? Or are you just gonna watch me?” I tease,
“Please” he smiles and I smile back. My heart catching in my throat, I can feel the bound growing just being in the same space as him. He paces across the room his boots lightly thudding as he heads towards me and the table and he takes a seat.
He sits down and watches as I cut potatoes and carrots from my own garden. I look over and catch him looking at the scare again, this time it’s appearance take the corner edge of my brow and moving along my temple into my hair line. My hair parted to the side and tucked behind my ear hiding more of it. Not being able to take his staring anymore and the silence I just say it,
“I know we are mates, and I know you’re curious.. you can ask if you want to and I would understand how you feel about having a mate like me. I think we should 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

“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 Thirteen: Who was She
"Katies POV"Jax called his Beta to bring his car, and so he could report the incident. We are sitting on a bench out on the sidewalk and I have no words. What the hell was that? I have never even been here before and there are already problems starting. Maybe I am not cut out to be their Luna, they seem to not like me already. I looked down at my shirt, the little breeze making me shiver. My shirt is ruined from the juice and the stain is probably never going to come out."Katie, I am so sorry that she did that.." Jax intrudes my thoughts, "If I had known what she would do, I wouldn't have brought you here." He looks so sad."Its fine Jax, I just want to go home right now.." Eyes in my lap, I can't look at him. I am so embarrassed and so angry all at the same time. I don't have the patience to talk about it. "Was she ever someone to you?""No, absolutely not. She has tried but I wanted to wait for my real mate. I have been waiting for you.." he trailed off, leaving us in silence for
Lost Luna Chapter Fourteen: What Now?
After an awkward introduction and some explaining about the issue that happened, I went up to the loft where Tanya gave me spare clothes and I got to take a hot shower to wash off the juice. The upstairs loft was extraordinary. The walls were all white with accents of blood red and gold. A massive king bed, and a full kitchen with a beautiful bathroom. The bathroom was a dream, a massive clawfoot tub and a corner shower surrounded by stained glass. The towels were so soft and the soap smelt amazing. I tried to rush myself but I could not help but be caught by the incredible sight and smells. I haven't had anything this wonderful since that horrible night. My life has been filled with river baths or a cold shower that had no water pressure. I have had the bare minimum for years and I grew to be comfortable with it, but being here makes me miss it. Before I know it, an hour has passed, I feel squeaky clean and refreshed. I make my way back down to the shop floor where Jax and his mom ar
Lost Luna Chapter Fifteen: Who Sent You
We are on the way back to my cabin, the trees rush by in a blur. Jax said that Helen and Toby, her grandson, weren't hurt. Just that the wizard or with had torn apart their shop. Jax said that the pack is already working on fixing it, everyone has come together to fix or replace her shelving and windows. I plan on picking what I can from my garden and taking it to her. I'm lost in my thoughts as we drive down the dusty road, me and Jax holding hands between the seats. Every now and then, he looks over at me and smiles, or reaches over and puts his hand on my thigh, running little circles with his fingers. The little tingles and sparks our bond has given us give me shivers. His voice breaks my thoughts,"So my mom says that she packed the room across from mine. It has a door that connects the two rooms so you can come to me whenever you want. I know you would like to take things slowly and I won't push you to stay in the same room at night if you do not want to-" his hand in mine,"I w

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
