Luna's Uprising 18. Apologies
The cage around me grows smaller and smaller, the longer I stare at the walls, ceiling, even the furniture I once chose and loved, seem to cramp the room even more right now, suffocating me. Feeling the pain in my leg just adds up to it. Drake has a huge temper, just as every Alpha or, to be precise, most werewolves have an issue with temper. But besides of the night that Drake killed me cold-blooded, he’s never ever physically harmed me. This is a new.Why did I think I had time to work this plan out? It seemed like I had five years to escape his cruelty. Does he realize and sense what’s going on? Losing my composure, something I never do, sure must have spiked something in him. Have I busted myself with that action?Longingly, my eyes dart out of the window to the woods. There’s this overwhelming draw there again. The fear of the woods lifting more and more from me like an early morning fog clearing up to a warm, sunny morning. Then my eyes zero in on the bulky frame coming from th
Last Updated : 2023-08-16Luna's Uprising 19. Hummingbird
As early dawn breaks through the window, the hustle and bustle are already everywhere to be heard. It seems the entire pack is already up and out there, preparations running in all directions. On one hand, to welcome the guests, on the other, running all precautions possible for a possible attack or anyone entering who's not supposed to be here, which is a huge task, seeing as there are many strangers out there today.Today, the heads of twelve packs will be meeting on this ground. Some of them counted as friends, some simply allies, others as neutral or maybe even a threat. A few members from each pack will be on our grounds, too, to protect their Alphas if needed. Again, I have been the head of many plans for today, but as usual I’m left on the outside. After the late events, even more so. Today, they won’t even get to see my face from afar.It’s all about the money and power today. What once also seemed important to me, not so much for the sake of money, but for the sake of stabili

Staring at the hummingbird, I try to make sense out of this. Is this the sign from the note?How can the door simply open and the guards not react because of a hummingbird?I try to see if my wolf feels alerted, but she still stays silent.It keeps on flying back and forth. Circling my room, coming towards me, and then flying out of the door, just to return seconds later, repeating it’s actions. It’s as if it wants me to follow.As I was going to spend the entire day in my bedroom with closed windows, I simply got changed into a pair of light blue shorts and a white tank top. So I wonder whether to get changed before I follow? But by the way the hummingbird flies in and out of this room, it seems in a hurry, and I don’t know how big my time slot is. If there’s such a thing at all. Maybe it’s all just a trick.I guess I’ll need to find out. After quickly slipping on some trainers, I start limping out of the door, following the tiny hummingbird. Looking left and right. Directly beside m
Last Updated : 2023-08-17Luna's Uprising 21. Spell
“A spell?” I burst out. This is the second time someone has told me that I’ve been under a spell. But both of them are in a very different way.“I don’t know exactly how they did it. I guess it was easier to cast a spell on you as your powers haven’t awakened yet. But either way, it was an extremely strong spell, one that could disconnect you from me and make you believe you were mated to Drake. But it only worked on you, not on me. Whatever the reason was for them to bind you to him, they didn’t want me to get in between. They did everything to keep me away from you.” His eyes fill with sadness. Through the connection, I feel anger, grief, and loss. At least, I think that’s what it is. Everything still feels like it’s blurred, and I can’t fully understand what I’m feeling. It’s extremely confusing, and I don’t exactly feel comfortable with it either.“But how come I can feel you now if there’s this spell?” I ask, confused about his words and the entire situation. Ever since the day

There is a huge open space between the rear side of the packhouse and the woods. The late sun is still bright enough to lighten up the entire place. No house, no trees, nothing as protection to hide behind. Just open fields filled with beautiful wild flowers and knee-high grass. It is a beautiful sight but the worst thing imaginable for our current situation. “Let me down,” I yell at Jax, feeling panic rising, my heartbeat increasing by the second. But he keeps running in the direction of the woods, totally ignoring my request. Only moments later, another wolf appears at our side, one I don’t recognise. It’s a fairly tall wolf with dark brown fur. There’s no escaping from Drake, I think to myself, filled with bitterness. More wolves will be here any moment, and I prepare myself for the wolf to attack Jax, but it doesn’t. Instead, it falls into pace with Jax, running only about five feet next to us, heading direction woods.“I told you to keep them distracted,” Jax scolds angrily. “D

“Luna, run," echoes in my head again, but I wouldn’t even know how or where.Even with his wounded shoulder and Drake right behind us, Jax keeps on running deeper and deeper into the woods with me on his arms. He elegantly dodges several attempts of wolves coming at us.Drake seems to be sending his warriors in first line instead of attacking himself. I’m surprised how easily Jax seems to be able to deal with them even in his human form. That’s until he comes to a sudden halt. I feel him tense up, his arms wrapping tighter around me again.Looking around, I see many different eyes, from all directions staring at us. My wolf growls inwardly. There’s no way out, I knew it the moment we left. The warriors from the borders have now joined to come in this direction, adding up to the rest of the pack. With wolves coming from all directions towards us, we’re totally surrounded. Leaving us with currently only three wolves against an entire pack. That’s if Jenny and Freddie are indeed on our s

The taste of mud fills my mouth. I’m coughing from aspirating mud, and whatever else is lying on the ground. It’s cold and damp, but my entire body feels like it’s burning up. My heart is racing so bad I can hear the thumbing in my ears. My mind seems fuzzy, and I try to make out my surroundings, but my vision still seems blurry. I try to grip on to something in front of me to get myself up, a tree or something like it, I can’t exactly tell. The pain is ripping through my entire body, but I know I can’t stay here. Trying to push myself up further only results in me slipping on wet leaves on the ground, banging my head against something. Again, I find myself crashing down. Pain and burning intensifying by the moment, I try to breathe through it.But no matter how hard I try, my vision keeps on blurring up or going black, and my body is unable to move. I feel myself starting to shiver, from the cold ground beneath me, mud covering my skin, the little clothes I had on are torn from the
Last Updated : 2023-09-03Luna's Uprising 25. Staring
Jax is standing there in the doorway in all his beauty. Even if he wasn’t my mate, there’s no doubt I’d feel attracted to him. Just as most of the powerful Alphas, he’s tall. I’d even say Jax is extremely tall. Even his wolf is a giant, bigger than any I have ever seen before. The broad shoulders, every single muscle well defined, he’s not hiding it in the slightest underneath his plain white t-shirt. His jaw is sharp. There are those mesmerizing green eyes. His face has got this slight edge to it. His slightly wavy chocolate brown hair is a slight mess, as if the wind had just brushed through it. Making him look wild, untamed, ruthless, simply a hot mess. And those full lips look as if they are the sweetest temptation.He gulps slightly, and I realize that I’ve just been blatantly staring at him and got caught. My cheeks blush in an instant, and I feel them burning, but differently to what it was in the woods. The intensity of his stare just adds up to the fire.“I think I should get

Luna's Uprising Update

Seems like my other ilnesses have made me very vulnerable. Even if this is my 4th time with Covid, it hit me nearly as bad as the 1st time.Currently, the high dose of cortisone and some oxygen are starting to help. The fever also has come down again. So I will try updating very soon.We're so close to the end of this story, and I feel really bad about not being able to update for so long decently. I hope you understand. Lots of love Jackie♡♡♡♡
Luna's Uprising 131. Balloons
My eyes still linger on Jax’s distraught face. Fear of what might have happened to Sybil and Emily or any of the others is nagging at me. But with the knock interrupting us, I know I’m not getting my answer from him right now. I huff slightly in annoyance.“Come in,” Jax calls out. I’m surprised that whoever is there even waited to be called in. Usually there’s only a short knock, and the people enter.Balloons, a huge amount of floating balloons attached to a string, get pushed through the opening door, covering everything behind it. I move left and right, trying to get a glimps of who this might be before the balloons finally move aside and give the view free to my best friends entering the room. Upfront is Ben with the balloons, then comes Tonya with a huge bunch of flowers, followed by Jenny with a tray of cupcakes, and Freddie holds a small teddy bear with "get well" on it. The last one to enter is Alex, holding a huge box of fancy looking chocolates in his hand, giving me the bri
Luna's Uprising 130. Healing process
Amelia’s POV:I wake up in an unfamiliar, dark room, but the smell of wounds and disinfectant biting within my nose tells me exactly where I am. I’m obviously at a hospital. Memories come flashing in on me. “Jax!” I sit up abruptly, with my heart thudding violently in my chest. I start throwing the blanket from my body. Panicked, I try to get out of bed until a voice and a hand pressed against my shoulder stop me, and the hand presses me right back into place.“I’m here. I'm here, my love,” I hear his sleepy, deep, and husky voice. “You need to stay in bed.”Without saying another word, I throw my arms around his neck and sob hard against his chest. “I thought……. I thought….I lost you. I thought you were dying,” I cry in relief and pain at the same time. The mere thought of losing him has me totally shook up and causes a pain in my chest, literally taking my breath away. My fingers dig stronger into his back, and I pull him harder into me, making sure he’s really here and not just an
Luna's Uprising 129. Roots Jax’s POV
Jax’s POVI feel warmth and power flooding my aching body, relieving the pain and soothing all my senses. Taking deep breaths, my lungs finally expand and fill with air again decently. I was sure I was suffocating only moments ago, I was sure this was it, that I was dying. But then I could feel her, I could feel her love, her power, her body pressed to mine, pulling me out of the dark place I was captivated in. She’s the sole reason the pain is gone, and I’m able to breathe again.Amelia! Without having opened my eyes, I can feel something is terribly wrong. I stir and try my hardest to pry my eyes open. “Amelia!” I choke out and shake her limp body, which is still wrapped around me. “Amelia, wake up!” Nothing happens. It’s then that I notice all the others around us, at least a part of us.Memories of what happened crash in on me, and I remember being buried alive and a sheer amount of bricks coming down after an explosion. By the distraught look on the other faces, I know the situati
Luna's Uprising 128. Bricks
“Jax! Jax! Jax!” I call out repeatedly, verbally but also through our mind link, feeling like I'm going out of my mind.No reaction. I can’t even feel him trying to connect with me in return. All I can feel is pain and cold. With Ben and Alex hot on my tracks, I pace through the chaotic state within the arena as fast as possible. I don’t even take much notice of what Emily and Sybil are doing right now.“Amelia!” I feel a little relief seeing Tristan limping towards me. But my heart drops the moment I realise there’s no Jax at his side. They were together. Jax should be with Tristan.“Where is he? Where is Jax?” I question panicked as soon as I reach Tristan.“He…… I…….. He saved my life,” Tristan chokes out, but his words just make me even more nervous. “Then, where is he?” Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely relieved that Tristan is alive and Jax saved him. But my guts twist into knots, seeing that Jax isn’t here next to him.“He…. He pushed me aside just on time before the bricks c
Luna's Uprising 127. Trust me
“The Gold moon Alpha is gone,” one of the warriors calls out, realising the same as I did moments ago.Jax pushes me further behind him. His eyes are scanning the entire place. The longer he’s scanning it, the more I feel him tense. We all know it’s a very bad sign. Drake steps towards Alana and shakes her, seemingly trying to get her back to normal, but I doubt he’s able to shake the possession out of her. Watching him act with her, I wonder if he loves her. If he ever truly loved her? There definitely has been more between them, but it doesn’t look like he cares in the same way for her as she did for him. I can see that now. They were both hungry for power and traded their mate bond for it. From what I know now, Tiffany did the exact same thing. She rejected her weak mate because he wasn’t good enough for her. Instead, she wanted the powerful Alpha with his pack. Drake and Alana both wanted my power. They somehow knew about it.My grip tightens on Jax. For nothing in the world woul
Luna's Uprising 126. Already married
I’m startled by the loud roaring voice echoing through the arena. Jax, next to me, still seems to be searching for the source of the voice, while I am staring at the man causing it. He may be in his early fifties. I know I’ve seen that face from far off on some of Drake’s events. Even if I wouldn’t know him, the facial features are a dead giveaway of who he is.“This gathering is against any agreement we made,” he bellows across the arena angrily at Jax. “You declared an open war to me by dropping my daughter. This is your last chance to rectify the situation. Send that worthless mutt away. Banish her from all pack grounds, make her the rogue she truly is, and I will reconsider a war with you,” the Alpha of the Gold moon pack demands.The crowd, that had been cheering moments ago, now turns silent, looking back and forth between Jax and the Gold moon Alpha, waiting for what is to come next. Jax’s grip tightens on me.“I am sorry if I hurt your and your daughters pride. It was never my
Luna's Uprising Author: Christmas break
Hi everyone, I had intended on finishing this story this year. Unfortunately, a lot has happened the last couple of weeks.My health has been quite bad. The surgery on my dog has taken a toll and a lot of time, as we've been spending every second at the vet for 3,5 weeks now. Last week, her stitches burst open again. Which needed further treatment. And when things go wrong, they totally go wrong. My electrical wheelchair device totally broke down, too. All of it is taking a toll on my health and is taking a lot of time. My head hasn't really been in the right place to write.As Christmas is also coming, I ofc also have those preparations, which are even more difficult with my broke down wheelchair. So I hope you'll understand that I need to take a little time off. The next update will come on January 1st. To those of you who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a happy and healthy Christmas time.But ofc to all of you others too, have an amazing time. Thanks for your patience. And if y
Luna's Uprising 125. Stadium
Jax’s POVI called in an urgent gathering. Most of my people have already met Amelia. The most important ones were at the safe house. But the situation has changed since. At that time, things were still a mess, but now we’re engaged, and she’s officially the future Luna to this pack.Amelia walks up and down the hall nervously, tugging at her clothes. She’s wearing a dark blue pencil dress, Tonya has picked for her. Making her look like a businesswoman. “Do you think they will hate me? I mean, they all knew about Tiffany. I don’t have all that money she can provide or the power of the pack……” she trails off while fidgeting with her fingers.A soft chuckle escapes my lips. “Are you serious right now?”She looks surprised up at my tiny outburst, unable to understand why I think this is funny. I take her hands in mine and gently caress the ring she just had been fidgeting around on. “Amelia, you have more power than any of us. You are the true werewolf queen, the true Luna to all of us.
