Amelia’s POV

The white tinted landscape from the fresh fallen snow, let’s me forget my sorrows just for a moment. Wrapped up in a warm winter coat, I take in the beauty of the winter scenery, as if it’s just jumped out of the perfect Christmas movie. Everything is calm and clean, and things look totally unharmed. Unlike my broken heart.

I embrace the fresh air and frost biting at my nose. Having been out here for nearly three hours now, surely has tinted my cheeks and nose bright red from the cold. Even if Ben and Alex both protested loudly about me wanting to go out alone, I simply needed this time out.

I feel like I’m needing a lot of that lately. Way more than I should be, I guess.

While I let the events from the entire day yesterday replay on my mind, I also checked the borders, and the areas I personally know are the most vulnerable ones to attack. There’s a lot of work ahead of us here, but I’m willing to take it. Now, even more than before, it will give me the distraction I nee

    My heart beat speeds up immensely entering the Blood-moon pack grounds. It’s been over two weeks that I haven’t been here. Initially, I had only wanted to stay at the Black-moon pack for three days, but things didn’t work out as it seemed.On day two, we had a minor vampire attack, which led to Alex coming back a day earlier and helping us out. Luckily, not much happened, but it was enough for the people to realise something is truly wrong, and it wasn’t just empty words of mine to scare them.Everyone noticed that we needed to stick together if we wanted to fight this.After Alex was back, we set up plans for the future of the pack. There was a lot of protest on day four when I declared one of the new rules. As from now on, rogues will no longer be hunted or tortured if they get close to the premises. Alex explained to them how the Blood-moon pack welcomes rogues.From now on, rogues will also be welcome to join the Black-moon pack. Their reason to be a rogue shall be investigated an

    Jax’s POV:I watch her long ginger hair whip around with the movement of her head abruptly turning in my direction. I know she can sense me, just as I can feel her presence. I could feel her get closer and closer all along today, but now she's just out of my reach, and I can finally see her agin. Her beautiful blue eyes are torn wide open, while they linger on me. She may be about a hundred and fifty feet away, but with our supernatural eyes, we can see each other just as clear as if we are standing right in front of each other.Her entire aura and beauty are taking my breath away. It’s only been two and a half weeks since I've seen her, yet it seems like forever. My memory of her is only a weak resemblance of what I’m seeing right now for real.“I told you to stay away. You promised you would,” Alex growls angrily through our mind link.“I’m not right at her apartment, am I?” I reply cocky. He only told me not to be at the apartment. If he wanted me to stay away entirely, he should

    Amelia’s POV“You like it?” His breath fans against my skin, causing sweet shivers to run down my spine. I clench my legs, feeling the pull right down to my abdomen. Yes, no. I mean, yes. Damn traitorous body, I curse myself.Ever since we entered this room, the intensity of feelings rushing in on me, my own, but also his through the bond, has caused every sanity to leave this room. It's a mixture of love, longing, passion, and desperation. All in all, it's overwhelming.I didn’t even want to see him today. I was scared as hell to bump into him here. But the moment I felt his eyes linger on me, I felt him being so close, another side of me took over. My wolf doesn’t care about him lying to us anymore. She’s long forgiven him. Ever since we’ve become one, it’s even harder to fight her urges.I suppress a moan escaping my lips, just at feeling his lips brush against his mark on my neck. My body and wolf side are longing so badly to give into this. Jax’s hands land on my hips.The images

    Jax’s POV:I slam my glass forcefully down onto the bar counter, giving the bartender an impatient glare. “For fucks sake, why does it take so long to get a god damn refill?” I yell loud enough for the entire bar to catch on.“Jeez, stop being so impatient. He literally gave you a refill less than a minute ago,” Alex shakes his head at me, seemingly far from amused. Well fuck him, too.“So what, he could have learned from the first ten times that I need my refill instantly,” I growl.The bartender comes rushing to refill my glass with shaking hands. “Who the hell gave you this job? You seem utterly useless and totally uncapable of it. Give me that fuck bottle, and leave it right here,” I claw for the bottle taking it straight from his trembling hands. Leaning back, I watch amused how he scurries away, with eyes torn wide open from fear. Stupid, weak humans, they’re so easily to be frightened. At least this seems to lighten up my mood for a couple of seconds. Maybe I should just enjoy

    Amelia’s POV:My eyes dart from the slammed door across the room where he’s tossed the ring. Tears are stinging in my eyes, but I try my hardest not to give into them. I had promised myself to stop crying constantly, I’ve shed way too many tears as it is.“I’m not that weak girl anymore,” I tell myself, biting down on the inside of my cheeks, drawing some blood from them. The slight pain is distracting me from the real pain inside of my soul.I can hear him yelling some incoherent stuff right next door, smashing something before I hear the apartment door slam shut next.“Jax, wait,” I call out, getting pulled out of my state of shock. Rushing after him, I hope he will listen to my reasons. Even if I tried to explain moments ago, when he cut me right off tossing the ring at me and saying he doesn’t need this shit if I don't want to be his Luna. I never even said that.“Fuck, off. All of you,” he yells while bolting down the stairs towards the main door, exciting the building, cursing w

    Jax’s POVEven in my totally drunken mind, I can sense something is utterly wrong in this moment. Alex pushes me back further. The porter is standing at the entrance, but something is wrong about it. Something I can’t quite put my finger on just yet.Fuck alcohol! For a moment, I hope it’s simply the alcohol playing tricks on my mind, but with how tense Alex has become and with him pushing me back even further, I know it’s not just my imagination.Alex calls for all our warriors and for them to meet us at the building where Amelia currently lives. Jeez, this woman really has bad luck with the places she lives.The moment the porter turns to face us, I can see his entirely white eyes. With his dark skin, the totally white eyes contrary to the skin colour stand out even more. “The dark fae?” I question, directed at Alex through mind link, trying not to draw even more attention towards us.“I’m not sure if it’s the dark fae again or something else. But it's definitely dark magic,” Alex

  • Luna's Uprising    105. Her fault

    Jax’s POV:My panicked call doesn't reach her on time. Amelia is way too focused on healing the heavily injured person in front of her, that she doesn’t catch on to any threat at all until Tiffany crashes right into her, tumbling her over, and biting a chunk of flesh from her leg.The intense howl and cry out in pain alerts everyone around us. I can see people dropping everything else and coming for Amelia’s aid from all corners, howling in response to her very own howl. Even I howl automatically without being able to control it. It’s as if we all received a call we have to pick up on. Tiffany spits the chunk of flesh disgusted to the ground, but digs her fangs immediately back into Amelia, as a warning for anyone to dare to get any closer, while looking terrified as more and more people close in on her. She shifts slightly and gets distracted for a split second when the crowd growls at her in unison, giving me enough space to throw her over without risking Amelia. Protectively, I co

    Jax’s POV:"Kill the witches," more and more people chant. While others fall totally silent, trying to comprehend the situation.Some people from the crowd try to attack but get held back by roots equally. The stronger they fight against it, the tighter the roots wrap around the legs and arms.“We aren’t here to harm you,” Emily calls out loudly to the crowd, while Sybil crouches down to me and Amelia. She pats my hand reassuringly before making sure to take in Amelia’s wounds decently.“If you aren’t here to harm us, then why are you attacking us?” A man growls aggressively, with the roots holding his feet fixated to the ground.“We aren’t the ones attacking you. The powers messing with you today and possessing that woman,” her fingers aim at Tiffany who’s still absolutely feral, biting wildly at nothing and everything, while her eyes are still totally white. “Those powers do not come from us. They are the ones that have been attacking you. Those are the powers you need to fear.”Look

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

    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

    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

    “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

    “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

    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.

    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.
