Luna on the hunt 69. Eric
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
Luna on the hunt 70. Confrontation
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
Luna on the hunt 1. Confusion
Arystyn Sharp slowly opened her eyes. She didn't recognize her surroundings and was confused by the stiffness in her limbs. What had happened? Where was she? Was she still in Jonesboro or even in the state of Arkansas? The last thing she could recall was going to check on her best friend Julianne standing in the hallway when she was attacked? Where was Julianne? Had someone hurt her too? She had to get up and figure out what was going on but mostly she needed to save Julianne! Arystyn slowly stood up on shaky legs and fell back down on her knees. She was so weak! She needed food. As she looked around the room she realized she was in a basement-type apartment. The room was set up with a bedroom section containing a full-sized bed and a nightstand with clothes hanging on a portable clothing rack. A small bathroom and a kitchen area with a small cook stove a fridge sink and a table. Arystyn pulled herself over until she reached the fridge and opened it. inside all she saw was raw meat.
Luna on the hunt 2. Into the dark
Arystyn walked up to the bar to order a pineapple upside-down cake shot to cool her off a bit and noticed that Julianne was no longer on the dance floor. They had been dancing with a group of friends from college because Darian had been called away to take care of a client who had a rare piece of art he wanted the gallery to store. Arystyn was about to dial Julianne's number when she received a text from her saying she was not feeling well and Jake had given her a ride home. Jake was in their 11:00 am Psych class and he and Julianne had become close. Arystyn texted her bestie back and said hope you feel better and I'll see you tomorrow. Call if you need me. Julianne texted back a heart emoji. Arystyn left the party and instead of going home decided to run to Julianne's apartment and check on her instead of waiting until the morning. Instead of taking a cab, Arystyn decided to walk to Jule's apartment since it was just a few blocks away. Arystyn knocked on Jules’ door but nobody answe
Luna on the hunt 3. Lunacy
What do you remember? Arystyn glared at the man who asked the question while he was putting more raw meat into the fridge. I remember being attacked and waking up here. How many days have I been here? The man looked at her and started to laugh. Seriously? Arystyn looked at him and yelled, what? Why are you laughing?, and what the Hell is your name? He eyed her with curiosity noting what a Hellcat she was. Since you asked so politely I will tell you my name he added sarcastically, my name is Alex. Alex explained to Arystyn that he found her in the Alley behind 7th street Market and had brought her here and nursed her back to health and that it was touch and go for a while but she had pulled through. Then he looked at her and said "That was 2 years ago." Arystn staggered backward as things started to go black. This was the craziest thing she'd ever heard! How had she been here for 2 years and just now becoming aware of it? Arystyn faded off into unconsciousness. Waking up Arystyn look
Luna on the hunt 4. Into the light
How could this be? Werewolves? Was there such a thing? Arystyn looked at Alex, tell me more. Alex told her that once someone is attacked by a werewolf if it doesn't kill them it turns them into a werewolf, in her case a Luna. A Luna is a term for the subservient female werewolf. Oh Hell no! She wouldn't be subservient to any man! Arystyn had prided herself on being a strong independent woman and that wasn't going to change no matter what. What about Julianne? Did you find another young woman? Had Julianne been attacked and was she roaming the streets or was she dead? There was nobody else only you. Arystyn had to find her friend!How do you know so much about these things she asked Alex. He looked at her and said, " because I'm a werewolf." You did this to me she screamed! She reached out her hand to slap him but he grabbed her wrist before she made contact. I did not do this our pack members would never attack an innocent. Arystyn glared at him, then who else could have done this to
Luna on the hunt 5. Transformation
Arystyn could not believe that they had found Julianne so quickly! She wanted to run in and wrap her arms around Jules and show her that she was alive but Alex said she couldn't show herself until she learned to control when she shifted. Now she knew Jules was ok she could do anything she had to to keep her safe. For the next 2 days, Alex worked with Arystyn to help her learn self-control in preparation for the upcoming full moon transformation. She wasn't completely ready and would have to be shackled with iron chains to ensure the safety of herself and others when the full moon was at its peak but at least she was somewhat better prepared. Arystyn had eaten four raw steaks as Alex had told her the urges would not be as strong when she shifted if she wasn't hungry. Arystyn had never felt so much pain in her life! Her body began to twist and contort as the moon took over her body. the pain struck, beginning at her fingertips and quickly spreading all over, each bone breaking, piece
Luna on the hunt 6. Revenge
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 Julian

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.
