Arystyn quietly left out the same door she had entered through looking around to make sure nobody was following her as she ran down the road she had to get away! Was it true that Darian and Julianne were in on her attack? How could this be? The 2 people she trusted most In the world had set her up to die! She would make sure they paid for this! She wasn’t sure how but she would make them suffer.
As she entered her basement apartment Alex was waiting for her and he was not happy! “Where the Hell have you been?”, Alex angrily shot at her. Arystyn spent the next hour explaining to Alex what she had discovered. Alex looked at Arystyn in astonishment. Let me guess, your boyfriend is Darian Fredrickson. How did you know? How do you know him, asked Arystyn.Alex looked at her whimsically, “He is the Alpha of the largest pack in the nation.” He said bluntly.Aystyn was in shock, how? Why? This all made no sense! Why would he try to kill her? She thought Darian loved her and what about Julianne? Why would she be in on this? Now that they know you aren’t dead they will track you down and make sure you’re dead. You are not safe here, Alex said.The next week went by in a flash. Alex picked Arystyn up in a black sedan and took her to a large Victorian-style home just outside the city. There he introduced her to his Alpha Drake Masyn. Drake was kind but cautious as he listened to her story but was not completely sure they could trust her not to be part of Darian’s pack trying to infiltrate their pack but he would not turn his back on this young Luna who truly appeared to need their help. Arystyn was led to a room upstairs that Alex announced to be her living quarters. Alex explained that his room was the room adjacent to hers if she needed anything. Alex left the room to give her some privacy after telling her dinner was promptly at 6:00 p.m. and that she should not be late. Once Alex was gone Arystyn began to think about the day's events. She was still having a hard time understanding why Darian and Julianne had turned on her. Arystyn had been adopted after losing her parents in a terrible car crash at the age of 2, and 4 years ago lost her adoptive parents after her father had suffered a heart attack while driving ultimately killing himself as well as her adoptive mother. What did the universe have against her? Why did she always lose everyone she cared about? She wouldn’t make that mistake again! She would take control of every situation in her life from this point on she was in control! Arystyn was in the dining room at 6:00om sharp and noticed a large group of Lunas to her far right. They raised their heads defiantly when she entered the room. She was the topic of conversation tonight. After being introduced by the Alpha himself she was served along with the others a huge plate of all the meat(raw of course) she could eat.After dinner, Drake asked to speak with her in his office. Drake began, as a Luna, there are certain responsibilities you will have as long as you are here and a word of advice Drake looked at her solemnly, you will NEVER question the authority of the males in this pack! “Are we clear?”, Drake asked. Arystyn stated bluntly,” I won’t intentionally disrespect anyone in this house but I will not bow down to anyone either, especially a man. Arystyn stood and walked out the door closing it behind her.Arystyn had worked long and hard and after 6 months had finally learned how to control when she shifted and was at full capacity with her strength and speed. She had worked endless hours at learning fighting techniques that Alex insisted that she needed. Arystyn was still extremely angry at Darian and Julianne and wanted nothing more than to get revenge! All she could think about was ripping Darian’s throat out the way he had done hers. Slowly Arystyn regained her memories of the night she was attacked. She remembered Darian's wolf form ripping at her throat with his teeth and then Julianne dragging her by her feet into the alley before she lost consciousness. What she couldn’t remember or understand was why. She was able to slowly regain her life but was under constant supervision from the pack and remained in residence at the pack home. She had not conceded to join the pack officially because she would not succumb to the duties of a traditional Luna. She refused to give up her indep
Arystyn went back to the pack house to gather her thoughts. She was in her room when there was a knock at the door. "Come in" Arystyn yelled. Alex walked in, Do you have a minute? he asked. Arystyn.was so angry! She looked at him and screamed I fucking hate this! She could feel her temperature rising and her head started to spin. She felt it coming on, her head started to ring and she knew it was coming! Her face contorted and she could feel her bones cracking under her skin. She was shifting! Arystyn could see her reflection in the mirror and saw the silhouette of her wolf on the wall. Before she could get control she was lunging at Alex! Alex reacted quickly and had her pinned to the floor all the while coaxing her softly to pace her breathing and try and relax. She was able to relax and monitor her breathing and finally shifted back to human form. Alex held her close in his arms still stroking her hair and kissing her head. Arystyn reacted to his touch and strained against him raisi
Arystyn stood in front of Fredrickson’s Art Gallery. She took a deep breath and opened the door. She walked into the gallery walked straight up to Darian Fredrickson and threw her arms around him. “Oh, Darian I am so happy to see you!” Darian's face went pale and his words stammered as he tried to get over his shock, oh baby I’m so glad you have been found safe and sound! Arystyn wanted nothing more than to yell and curse at him and tell him to give her the fucking money back that he had stolen from her, but instead pretended as if she didn’t know about her inheritance and that nothing was wrong. She was going to love him and his little whore to death. The following week Arystyn was elbow-deep in Artwork. Once finding out she was alive and back in business, past clients came out of the woodwork! Things were back to normal or at least as far as anyone else knew. Alex was not happy about what she was doing he flatly stated he wouldn't help her but he wouldn't stand in her way. Darian c
Arystyn waited as she heard the ringing at the end of the line when she heard Julianne's voice answer Hey Arystyn! What's up? How do you feel about going out on the town like in old times? Julianne said He'll yeah girl it's been too long! Arystyn couldn't remember the last time she had danced so much and did enjoy being out for a change. She did need to go pee though and told Julianne she'd be back in a few minutes. She started to the bathroom but caught movement out of the corner of her eye so she followed but jumped into a narrow hallway to keep from being slammed in the face by the door. Out of the door walked Drake and he was talking on his phone. " I told you I'd take care of the bossy little Boich but then I want my part of her fortune but you can't tell Alex because he has the hots for her! Arystyn was in total shock! Was he talking about her? What did Drake have against her and who was he talking to? Arystyn walked back to the bar and looked around for Julianne but didn't see
Arystyn arrived at the pack house just as dusk was about to set in. “Where have you been?” Drake asked as she started up the stairs to her room. “I don’t see where that’s any of your business”, she replied matter of factly. Drake set all his things down and gave her his full attention. "A life for a life. I saved your life, and in exchange, it will belong to me. When this is all said and done, you will be mine."I belong to no one," she hissed The temperature in her body started to rise, and she felt her inner wolf stir awake.He chuckled. "That's where you're wrong.You no longer have a choice in the matter."Before she could control it, her canines slid out and her claws extended. A rumble deep in her throat sounded and she was ready to rip Drake apart, consequences be damned. Calm down, You try to kill me, and you won't like what happens."Arystyn knew she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She still didn’t know who had attacked her and ultimately turned her into a werewolf
Arystyn arrived at Pizza Pie at 9:55 a.m. The next morning and found a waiting Andy in a booth in the back. “Hey girl!” Arystyn greeted him with a hug and a peck on the cheek. “Thank you so much for meeting with me!” After ordering a salad while the pizza was in the oven, Arystyn filled Andy in on her plans. Arystyn walked into Darian’s office as soon as she got to the Art gallery. He was on a phone call so she walked around the desk and sat in his lap, nibbling on his ear and kissing his neck. He gave her a warning look and tried to push her up from his lap. She held on to his neck and giggled in his ear. “What the hell are you doing Arystyn? That was an important phone call!” Arystyn playfully pulled his tie,” oh baby it will be ok!” Darian walked over to her and said “so what’s up? Arystyn put on her pouting face and said I have to go to the bank tomorrow to check in my inheritance “will you go with me?” Darian picked up the phone and spoke to his assistant “cancel all of my appoin
Arystyn opened her eyes to the smell of a sickening stench like she hadn’t smelled before. It smelled of rotten flesh. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness. She could see that she was in a cage and shackled to a wall. She was so weak! She need to feed. As she looked around she could see the dead bodies around her and in another cage she saw Alex. “Alex,” she whispered “Alex!” Alex slowly opened his eyes. “Arystyn are you ok?” Yes she replied but I need to feed ,Arystyn answered. “What is this place?” Arystyn questioned Alex. “It”s the dungeon”,he replied. This is where they keep their prisoners to torture them before they kill them he said flatly. I’ve tried to get loose but my strength won’t come out for some reason, Arystyn told Alex. “The cuffs and chains are made of silver laced with wolfs bane. It weakens werewolves so we can’t escape. “Arystyn”, a whisper came through the darkness. Arystyn strained her eyes In the darkness and saw Andy standing in front of her cage. “Andy
Alex paced the floor in the hallway of the pack house. After killing half the opponent's pack they are finally able to get out of the warehouse and get Arystyn back to the house. The resident MD to the werewolves was attending Arystyn. Things did not look good. After examining Arystyn Dr. Adams looked grimly at Alex. She is too weak to shift and the only thing that will save her is a rare commodity. “What is it?” Alex asked. Dr. Adams solemnly stated “mistletoe.” Mistletoe would kill her! Alex exclaimed. To a typical werewolf yes but Arystyn ”s blood type is AB negative. It’s the only thing that could help with that rare blood type. It will either kill her or transform her into a very powerful creature.Alex knew that mistletoe was beyond his grasp because it was so dangerous to werewolves. He had to find someone who could get it for him but who could he trust? About that time Arystyn’s phone chimes it was Andy. Alex’s mind went back to the time in the dungeon and remembers that Andy
As the moon reached its peak in the night sky, Arystyn stood before her ex-lover Darian, who had descended into darkness and sought to destroy everything she held dear. Her heart raced with a mix of fear and determination, fueled by the love she had for her family and the strength born from her own inner wolf.In the dimly lit cavern, surrounded by the remnants of their past, Arystyn's eyes met Darian's cold gaze. She could see the twisted pleasure he derived from seeing her vulnerable, but she refused to succumb to his intimidation. She had come too far to crumble now.With a voice laden with both anger and sorrow, Arystyn spoke, "Darian, your thirst for power and revenge has clouded your judgment. You may have thought you had won, but know this – no darkness can snuff out the light that resides within me."Darian sneered, his voice dripping with malice, "You should have stayed away, my dear. Now, watch as I tear everything you love apart."With a swift motion, Darian unleashed his m
Arystyn had never stopped loving him, even after she had killed him to protect herself and her inheritance. She had mourned him for months, clinging to his memories and wishing things could have been different. She had tried to move on and let go of what she thought she’d had. She had thought was her soulmate, the Alpha of the Fredrickson pack.But he was gone. And she had accepted it.That’s why she was shocked when she saw him again, three years later, in a crowded mall. He looked different, older, and harder, but she recognized him instantly. His eyes, his smile, his scent. It was him. Darian Fredrickson.Arystyn was surprised when she recognized the woman with him. It was Maya! Maya whom she had trusted and loved since she had first come to her father Drake’s pack after realizing she was a werewolf.Arystyn walked silently to the back of the alley behind where Maya and Darian were standing. Arystyn reached out a pulled Maya by the arm and into the alley. “ What the?!” Maya began b
Arystyn's heart pounded in her chest as she held her twins, Ari and Xander, tightly in her arms. The memories of their terrifying kidnapping still haunted her, but she refused to let fear dictate their lives any longer. Life had returned to some semblance of normalcy for the family, and they were determined to embrace it wholeheartedly.After the traumatic ordeal, Arystyn and her husband, Alex’realized the importance of cherishing every moment with their loved ones. They became fiercely protective of their children, taking extra precautions to ensure their safety. They installed a state-of-the-art security system in their home, hired a trusted nanny, and enrolled the twins in self-defense classes at an early age.The incident instilled a sense of resilience and strength within Arystyn. She refused to let fear consume her and made a conscious effort to create a nurturing environment for her family. With the support of Drake, her father who was her rock throughout the entire ordeal, they
As she was heading to her room to change into her training gear someone grabbed Maya and put their hand over her mouth so she couldn't scream. What the Hell! Maya could feel her canines coming out and she could smell an unfamiliar scent she hadn't smelled before. She jumped to the left and attempted to land on the chest of her captor. Maya was looking into the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen! Who are you and what the Hell do you think you're doing?!Slowly releasing her the captor stared at her longingly. Why are you looking at me like that she asked. “I have just never seen anyone as beautiful as you and I can assure you I am not easily impressed.” Maya wasn't sure if he was sincere or just that full of himself. Again I'll ask you politely but the next time it won't matter because I'll kill you Maya retorted. Oh my dear please excuse my rudeness, my name is Eric. Well, then Eric who do you think you are scaring me half to death? You better have a good reason! “I just want
Connor and Maya, we’re sitting in the dining room eating lunch. They had been on the night shift for the past 2 weeks on a stakeout watching a local vampire coven who had been rumored to have kidnapped several werewolves in the community. Connor looked around the room to ensure they were alone before speaking. “ What have you heard in Luna’s sector?” he asked Maya. Well, I’m not really privy to the gossip yet they don’t like the fact that a Luna is in their army and they have to cook and clean.I know you Maya you will win them over and you’ll have them eating out of your hands! Maya threw her napkin and hit him in the face. “Oh yeah and don’t you forget it!” She laughed the hearty boisterous laugh that he loved so much. Maybe someday he get up the guts to tell her. Just as they were getting up to go wash their dishes Genie came in and told them Gordon the Beta wanted to speak to them. “Ok as soon as we finish cleaning up” No, Genie said I’ll clean up, I have a feeling this is impor
Arystyn and Alex were sitting in their living room, trying to piece together the events of the past fewArystyn, blamed herself for not being able to protect her family . Alex even having to hide out and pretend he was dead after someone tried to kill him. She knew that their kidnapper must be someone who knew about the twins' powers and wanted to use them for their own purposes.As they sat there, deep in thought, Arystyn suddenly realized something Alex, do you remember the Fredrickson pack having a send off for Darian after I killed him?Alex looked at Arystyn thoughtfully. You know I just remembered,"Darian Fredrickson, the alpha of the pack, was never found.What if he's not really dead and he's the one who's behind all of this?"Alex looked at her with concern. "Are you sure? We thought we killed him."Arystyn shook her head. "I'm not sure, but it's our best lead right now. We need to find out for sure."They decided the only way to find answers would be to infiltrate the Fredri
Arystyn slowly made her way to the pack house to see who could possibly be here to speak with her on the day of her husband's send-off ceremony.Just as Arystyn made her way around the corner of the house her ankle turned and broke the heel of her shoe. Arystyn cursed out loud. As she started up the stepsDrake met her at the door on his way out. “Inqas just coming to get you,” he said hurry! Arystyn couldn't imagine what could be so urgent as she took off hershoes to walk easier. Drake grabbed her by the hand and pulled her up the stairs. Who is here to see me she asked. He looked at her and grabbed her suitcase andtold her to pack. “Drake I demand to know what's going on !” Drake said “Pack and I’ll explain on the way! “Arystyn was escorted out through the secret passage in the pack’s basement where Nanny was waiting with Ari and Zander. She and Drake rushed with Nanny andthe twins to a van waiting at the door. As they pulled out onto a back road they headed west away from the h
Arystyn woke up and reached for Alex and then it all came rushing back. Alex was gone and she would never be able to look into his beautiful eyes ever again. Today they would be participating in his send-off service she didn't know how she was going to do this! She was all alone her children would grow up without their father! Why was life so cruel? All she wanted was to be happy and live a simple life! Her life was anything but simple. Time after time she had been accosted with one drama after another Alex was the one person who made her feel like everything would be ok. He was the one who saved her when she was attacked and had been turned. He loved her even when she did not deserve his love. Oh God! How was she supposed to do this?Arystyn dragged herself out of her big four-poster bed that she had shared with Alex for the past 3 years. Such a short time and she had wasted it. She had given in to Austin’s lies and believed that her mate had betrayed her. She still didn't know the w
As the sun began to set, Arystyn and Devin knew that they would soon face their greatest challenge yet. The Fredrickson pack had been causing trouble for months, and it was time for them to be stopped once and for all.With her special speed and levitation abilities, Arystyn led the way, darting through the trees and jumping over obstacles with ease. Devin followed close behind, keeping watch for any signs of danger.As they approached the Fredrickson pack's territory, they could hear the howls of the wolves echoing through the forest. Arystyn and Devin exchanged a glance, knowing that they had to act fast.Without hesitation, Arystyn lunged into the pack, her claws slicing through the air as she took down one wolf after another. Devin fired off shots from his gun, hitting his targets with deadly accuracy.Despite their fierce opposition, Arystyn and Devin weremore than a match for the rival werewolf pack. With their combined strength and determination, they fought their way to victor
