We walked a few blocks before stopping in front of a dimly lit store. Pushing open the door, bells rang. As we did, I gripped Spikes' hand tighter. "It's okay; I would never do anything to hurt you, Luna," he said softly.I followed Spike into the dimly lit store, my heart pounding in my chest. I had no idea what to expect, but I knew that I needed help. The air was thick with the scent of herbs and incense, and a sense of unease washed over me as we approached a figure standing behind the counter.The woman had dark, piercing eyes that seemed to bore into my soul. She looked at me with a mixture of curiosity and concern, as if she could see right through me. "What brings you here, child?" she asked in a voice that sent shivers down my spine. "your darkness is not welcome here.""This is Luna, the girl I told you about," Spike explained. The woman nodded before she turned her gaze back to me. "You carry a heavy burden, Luna," she said softly. "But there is hope for you yet."She moti
"You're not safe here, Luna," his voice came into my head before he lost his grip on me.I scrambled to my feet, shaking with fear and uncertainty. The wolf's words echoed in my mind, a reminder of the dangers that surrounded me. But I knew I couldn't give up, not now.With a fierce determination, I faced the wolf head-on, ready to defend myself at all costs. As we circled each other, growls and snarls filling the air, I felt a surge of power within me. This was my fight, my chance to prove that I was strong enough to survive. I lugged at him, but he sidestepped me, coursing me to hit the wall that was behind him. he stood over me once more, staring down at me. "you have been fullish, not training your wolf, instead only focusing on your witch powers." he took a step back showing me he was not here to fight me. "I'm here to warn you, Luna, of the things that want to cause you harm.""I can look after myself," I spat back, hoping I was doing this mind-link thing right so he would hear
I went and got dressed before heading back to where Spike was. Taking a seat in front of him, I readied myself to hear him out. he looked nervous as he stared at me. Clearing his throat, he started. "over 500 years ago, I made some very bad choices, which led to me stealing something very important from Sylva. It was a necklace that held great power and significance to her. I didn't realize the consequences of my actions at the time, but as soon as she found me with her necklace, she placed a curse on me." he paused, his eyes filled with regret."What kind of curse?" I asked him, my heart pounding in my chest.Spike took a deep breath before continuing. "It was a curse that transformed me into something...something dark and twisted. I became the first ever vampire."I couldn't understand how that curse was so bad. She had given him the chance to live forever, but at what cost? Spike explained that the curse not only turned him into a vampire but also condemned him to an eternity of dar
I tried over the next few days to keep my distance from Spike, but it did not go very well at all. Whenever I'm around him, I can't control the way I feel. My body craves him, and I don't understand why the more I try to resist him, the more I'm pulled towards him. Every time our eyes met, a surge of desire shot through me, leaving me breathless and wanting more. It was like a magnetic force that I couldn't escape, no matter how hard I tried. There is something different about my connection with Spike compared to Brax. With Brax, it was all-consuming and intense, a deep longing that consumed every fibre of my being. But with Spike, it was more physical, a primal need that seemed to come from somewhere deep within me. I loved having sex with Brax. He always got me to where I needed to be, but with Spike, he just sent me into another planet filled with excitement. I find myself constantly craving his blood, needing the rush of power and exhilaration that came with feeding from him. It w
It's been days since I saw Seb, and there is still no sign or word from Brax. Maybe Seb decided against telling Brax because he knew that it would only hurt him, or maybe Brax has just given up on me and stopped caring or loving me all altogether, which I wouldn't blame him if that were the case. It still hurts, though, to think that someone who loved me as much as he did could just stop loving me. I have been focusing all my time and energy on learning to control my powers. The crazy thing is the more I practice, the stronger they get. I didn't think that was possible when it came to magic; I thought you just had the magic that you had, and it did grow, but I was very grown there. As I sit in my room, surrounded by books and candles, I can feel the power coursing through me. It's exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. I never imagined that I would have this much potential within me. But with great power comes great responsibility, as they say. I've been experimenting with
I couldnt bring myself to go back into the club. Once I had pulled myself together, I walked back home, but instead of heading straight downstairs and hiding away, I sat at the bar drinking, trying to numb the pain. I knew that Spike would come looking for me soon, and he would know that there was something wrong. I didn't want to have to explain it all to him. But as I sat there, drowning my sorrows in alcohol, I couldn't shake the image of Brax's devastated face from my mind.I knew that what I had done was for the best, but it didn't make it any easier to see him hurting. The guilt weighed heavily on me as I tried to push away the memories of our time together.As the night wore on and the bar started to empty out, a familiar figure walked through the door. Spike looked around until his eyes landed on me, sitting at the bar with a bottle of whiskey in front of me."Luna," he said softly, concern evident in his voice as he walked over to me. "What's going on? I've been looking for yo
When the sun finally went down, spike left to give me some space to think. I hated the idea of being alone, but I knew being around him wouldn't let me think with a clear head. Before he left, he kissed me like it was the last time he would ever kiss anyone again, and maybe it was our last kiss. I sat on the couch, staring at the books that littered the coffee table, my mind racing with thoughts and emotions. I knew that I needed to make a decision soon, but I also knew that rushing into anything would only lead to more heartache.As I sat there in the quiet of the room, I closed my eyes and tried to focus on what my heart was telling me. It was a difficult choice to make - between Brax, who had been there for me in the past. He was my first love, someone that I was destined to be with, but he also reminded me of all the pain I had been through, and Spike, who had shown me nothing but love and support, always putting my needs above his own.After what felt like hours of contemplation,
I stayed with Brax for the rest of the night. Spike left, giving us the time we needed. I still had worries about getting back with Brax, like how I would feel when I got back there after everything that had happened there. I didn't know if I'd be strong enough to face it all. I was also scared of what the others would think if I showed up there with a vampire. Would they be understanding and believe that he was just a friend, or would they judge me.I wouldn't blame them for judging me. They were all loyal to Brax. At the end of the day, I meant nothing to them. And I had run away and left him with not only the grief of losing our unborn baby but also the pain of losing me too, and then when he finally found me. I'd already moved on with a vampire. If I were him, I would not be as kind I probably wouldn't have even thought about taking him back.But despite all of my fears and doubts, I knew that this was the right decision for me. Spike had shown me a love and loyalty that I had nev

My hand rested comfortably on my growing belly, and a sense of contentment filled every corner of my being. Glancing at Brax, who stood beside me with a smile that lit up his face, I couldn't help but let my thoughts drift back to everything that brought us here.Five years. It felt like an eternity, and yet like a fleeting moment at the same time. A single tear slipped down my cheek as I remembered the moment that changed everything—the day I discovered I wasn't just an ordinary human. That realization transformed my world, leading me to a life filled with love, trials, and unexpected magic.Brax noticed my tear and squeezed my hand gently, his touch steady and reassuring.

The chorus of my pack, a symphony of belonging, reminded me that home was a place of hearts, not walls."Luna and Brax!" Nick boomed, his voice commanding the noise to hush. His eyes twinkled with the warmth of a father figure reunited with his son. "Let's welcome back our Alpha, who's fought his way back to us."Luna squeezed my hand, a silent reassurance that her strength was mine to lean on.

"And I promise, no matter what challenges lie ahead, we will face them together."The world around me blurred slightly as tears unspoken moistened my eyes.

Brax's povAs the first light of day seeped into the room, casting a warm glow over Luna and me, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace wash over me. The night had been a testament to our love, a reaffirmation of the bond that had withstood every storm.I watched as Luna lay beside me, her breathing slow and even, her dark hair splayed out like a halo against the pillow. She looked peaceful, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, so did I. I reached out, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, marveling at the simple truth that she was here, with me, after everything we had endured.The past years had been hell one that i thought i would never escape but yet here i was with the one that my heat would always belong to in my arms. i had been to scared to sleep incase i woke up and this was all a dream.As Luna stirred, her eyes fluttering open to meet mine, a soft smile graced her lips, a beacon of warmth and light.

Luna's POVThe night was silent, the house settling around us with a familiar creak here and a gentle sigh there. Brax’s closeness was a tangible comfort, a warmth that seeped into the marrow of my bones, chasing away the chill that had settled during those years of separation.As Brax and I sat on the edge of the bed, the space seemed to pulse with energy, a gossamer thread of tension weaving its way through the air. His presence was a steady beacon, a reassuring reminder that we were here—to face the ghosts of our past and the infinite potential of our future.He reached out, running his fingers through the strands of my long black hair, the touch achingly tender.

His words were a gentle balm, each syllable soaking into my skin with the promise of something new growing from the heartache.I smiled faintly, my heart swelling with love. "I missed you every day," I admitted, my voice soft, infused with truth.
As we walked through the door of what should have been home, the familiar scent of wood and fire warmed my senses, but there was a heaviness surrounding us, a weight only time apart could place on us. Brax's hand brushed against mine, a silent anchor in the sea of emotions swirling within. We were home, yet the ground beneath us felt unsteady, the space between us filled with years of separation, of longing and uncertainty. as they others left to give us space allowing us the space we needed to mend the fractures of our past.As Seb turned to leave, his footsteps hesitant on the wooden floor, something within me urged to bridge the chasm that had silently grown between us.

Lunas povWith Daisy still and silent in my arms, every heartbeat felt like a countdown, every breath a whisper of hope against a cacophony of doubt. I pressed her closer, feeling the gentle thud of her heartbeat sync with my own, a silent message that connected us beyond words. Around us, the world was a muted blur, the woods standing like silent sentinels to our moment of desperate longing.The others—Brax, Seb, Nick—hovered nearby, their presence a fragile shield against despair.

Just like her mum." His words were a balm, soothing some of the rawness within, a testament to the resilience passed on from me to my daughter. Daisy had always been different—uni
Luna's POVWhen consciousness slowly drifted back to me, the world was a blurred edge of shadows and whispers. Pain clawed through every fibre of my being, leaving me weak and frozen in its tight grip. The darkness had been so consuming, a cacophony of voices that resisted every attempt at awakening. Yet, here I was, lying awake in a world that tilted between reality and dreams.Warmth enveloped me like a cocoon cutting through the cold. I blinked, trying to dispel the haze obscuring my vision, and then I saw him. Seb's face hovered above me, his expression etched with profound relief and something more—love?
