We ran for hours, enjoying the freedom. But the fun had to come to an end, and Brax talked me through shifting back into a human. The pain was bad but nowhere near as painful as it had been shifting into a wolf. I don't know why, but I was shocked when I shifted back and found myself standing naked in the mind of the forest; I don't know why. It was a shock since I saw my shredded dress lying on the ground earlier.Brax laughed at my surprise as we both stood there naked in the moonlight; grabbing my hand, he led me back towards the house, sitting on the table in the backyard where there were two robs. He picked them up, handing me one and putting the other one himself. We made our way inside the house. It was dark and quiet. Everyone else had gone to bed. Once in Braxs room, he went and turned the shower on so that we could shower. I sat on the bed, my body tired and sore, but I had a new sense of power surging through my body. I felt like I had more control over myself now; I think
Brax called me asking me to meet him at the hospital, but he didn't tell me why, which scared me. Rushing in through the doors, I searched the waiting room for him, hoping that he was okay. My eyes landed on him over talking to a doctor. He looked fine. I rushed to him "Are you okay?" I asked him in a fit of panic, looking him over to see if I could see any injuries on him.He smiled, grabbing my hands. "I'm fine, Luna. i found someone that is going to give up their body for Ava."I let out the breath that I had been holding. "and you couldn't have told me that on the phone. I've been worried sick about you."Brax chuckled, squeezing my hands. "I wanted to tell you in person, and I knew you would come right away if I said it was urgent." when he said that, I still wasn't happy about the way he went about it. He apologised, gabbing my hands in his. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you", placing a kiss on my forehead.He then introduced me to the doctor, who led us down the hallway to
After seeing mine and Brax's baby growing inside of me, I was on cloud nine. All my fears about being a mum faded away, and I think Brax felt the same way. I spent the days after that getting ready to do the ritual to bring Ava back. I had limited time to get things organised because Daisy was getting close to passing, and if she died before we did the ritual, then there was a chance it wouldn't work. I spent most of my time in the library reading as much as I could, trying to learn everything I possibly could about myself and the power I would need to pull it off. My family decided to stay. Until after I had done it so they could be here to support and help me, which also meant I had more time to work up the courage to tell them about me being pregnant.I am sitting alone in the library, reading an old book with nothing but a dim light lighting the corner of the room I'm sitting in. I look down at the ring on my finger that Brax gave me, and a smile comes to my face as I think back
Slowly opening my eyes, my head is pounding. I let out a groan, and I felt a hand touch my face. Looking up, I see Brax with a worried look on his face; my eyes start to adjust. Looking at Brax, he looks tired, so I go to sit up. Brax watches my every move as I slowly lift myself up off the pillow. "what happened?" my voice cracks as I speak. "you passed out after the spell" Braxs voice is filled with concern.I try to remember what happened before passing out, but my mind is a foggy mess. Brax helps me sit up and hands me a glass of water. I take a sip and feel the cool liquid soothe my parched throat. "Thank you," I mutter, still trying to piece together what happened.Brax sits beside me, his hand on my back in a comforting gesture. "You pushed yourself too hard and passed out after the spell," he explains gently. "I look around the room, realising I'm in Brax's room, and I have no idea how I got here. "Did it work?"Brax nods before laying his head down on my lap. "You scared th
It has been over a week since I woke up, and I'm feeling a lot better than I was. Brax still keeps fussing over me, not wanting to leave my side even though I keep telling him I'm fine. He's had the doctor out to see me a few times, and he just wants to make sure that the baby and I are doing okay. Which, just like I keep telling him and the doctor, we are perfectly fine. I've got a little belly now, and I've felt a few kicks, which is a crazy feeling but also amazing. Brax has already started building its bedroom right next to our new bedroom, apparently. I don't really know why we need a new bedroom Braxs room is just fine, but he keeps telling me we need something that is ours and special, so I just go along with it.I've been trying my hardest to stay away from Ava. I just can't get rid of the horrible feeling that I get from her. I know Pearl keeps getting the same feeling, too. We've been keeping our distance from her as much as possible, but it's hard when she keeps popping
I stayed in my room for days, hiding away from everyone. Blue sat with me the whole time. He was the only one that I wanted to be around. Being a dog, he couldn't judge me for the way I had attacked. Attacking Ava was something I'm not proud of, but I had done it, and I couldn't take it back. So, I just had to live with the guilt I felt. Brax came and left. He had a lot going on at the pack house that he needed to deal with. I knew he hated leaving me, but I told him every time that I would be fine. I thought about going and saying sorry to Ava, but I wasn't ready to see her yet. No matter how hard I tried, I could get rid of the horrible feeling that I had about her. I was the only one to blame for all this. I had brought her back, and maybe this was the price I had to pay for doing it.there was a knock on the door, but I ignored it. I continued reading the book that I had been reading for days. Pearl came in, walked over, and sat in one of the chairs that was in the room. She didn'
Something hit my stomach, sending a searing pain shooting through me. I stood there in shock, my hands slowly coming up to my stomach. I looked down, and my white shirt slowly turned red. The sound of Pearl running to me as she cried out my name rang through my ears. Pulling my blood-soaked hands up, I stared at them in a state of shock. Looking back up to Ava, still standing there with the gun pointed at me.I turned to look at Brax, still holding my hands out in front of me. I was in shock at what had just happened. "the baby" was all I could get out. Time felt like it was moving so slowly.Brax stood there wide-eyed, still trying to process what had just happened, his eyes trailing down to my stomach, which was now completely covered in blood. "Luna", his voice was barely louder than a whisper. He rushed to me, catching me as my body became weak and my legs gave out from under. There was yelling and more people rushing to see what had happened. Pearl held her hands over my wound,
Brax povAs Luna turned to look at me, her hands covered in blood and a bullet wound to her stomach, I was frozen to the spot. I should have been there next to her. I should have been able to save her from being shot. I'd failed her again, and this time, I might just pay the price and lose her forever."the baby", she said as she looked between me and her bloody hands. Standing there staring at her, trying to process what had just happened, my eyes trailed down to her stomach, her once-white shirt now red with her blood. "Luna", I said before rushing over to her, catching her as she fell, and pulling her into me. I knew Ava was still standing there, gun pointed at Luna, ready to shoot again at any minute, but I didn't care; I didn't fear her or the gun. The only thing I fear in this world is losing Luna. Everyone started yelling, and I could hear others coming in to see what had happened. I didn't look up; I just kept my eyes on Luna, praying that she wouldn't leave me. Tears started
