“Read into the moon,” Chelsa moved her finger along the gold words, words that I didn’t even know she possessed the knowledge to know but it didn’t surprise me; Chelsa always had hidden intelligence. She always knew more than she let on.
Always.
“Read into the moon?” Arrow interrupted. “What does that even mean?”
Chelsa shrugged as I began to speak. “Maybe if we read the entire message, we’ll understand,” I spoke pointedly towards my friend who squinted his eyes towards me before rolling them with a smile.
“Read into the moon to spark the knowledge.”
Silence passed through u
Snow seemed to want to bless us upon the mountain this morning as it kept itself in the clouds, probably becoming rain whenever these clouds reached my mate, and as I took the first morning step out of my tent, I breathed in that fresh mountain air.In front of me sat my usual view of members of my pack going about their business, fires lit, and as they all talked and laughed together, I realized that not only did I miss my mate immensely, but I also missed Laker; secretly I envied him… He was back home, in a warm home, food available hot and ready at all times, and most of all, he was with Ostana.His mate.And his baby.I hadn’t received any word that their baby had come yet, which maybe the mai
“If the Northern Whispers did not cause this murder, then what did?” A member of the pack spoke out, eyes turning to them as mumbles and whispers started to fill the cold air; by now the sun had started to take its rest.Songbirds and squirrels retreated into their homes of the trees as golden rays laid over the snow and ice, making everything seem so magnificent that I wish Celeste was here to witness it. I wish she could take in the smell of evergreens that seemed to be paused in time as ice shimmered upon its needles only to drip slowly downwards, like honey upon white marble stairs, or the streams near us which provided the freshest and crispest water that you couldn’t find anywhere else in this dimming world…I wish she was here, right next to me.
“Little murder problem?” I echoed his words and raised my eyebrows towards him. “We’ve only had one person murdered and how did you even find out?” Emrys had just shared the news to me and I had yet to even bring it to King Anton; unless Emrys, which I am sure he did, wrote a separate letter to the King.Emeric’s eyes deceived him for a quick moment because I could see his pupils dilate just enough before he got a grip on himself and his emotions, reining his pupils back to normal, and he straightened his body back up.“I have eyes and ears everywhere, Luna.” There was no distaste in his words or the title of Luna, and even Cassandra popped her attention up; she was just as curious as I was and something inside us wanted to trust him but our logic rendered reins.
The Moon Goddess accepted The Eternal Flame and granted the first detransformation in the history of time on this time field; the light was granted to those of detransformation to become what they are not, was brighter than a thousand suns, darker than black space which blanketed the universe, and the rush of air which flowed the powers of what The Moon Goddess detested.Her celestial eyes glowed with such anger and distaste, sadness and tragedy, numbness and emptiness; how could someone take her gift of two beings only to throw it back into her face? Without their Lycan powers, they will no longer to be able to shift into their second being, find their mate -which just leaves their correct mate forever on the search of what was once was- and a shorter, weaker life…A normal, human life is their cur
Wet, salty tears began to fall from my eyes and down my cheeks as my feet began to move before my thoughts even processed fully of what was happening, and even though I hadn’t moved this fast ever since I had been pregnant, I ran.Ran as if the world pushed me forward, my flats heavily tapping against the marble flooring as the wind wished through the wisps of hair which framed my hair. The jeans that I wore were supportive against my growing baby, my tee shirt, which was actually Emrys’, let me breathe freely.“My beautiful Lessie,” Was the first words he whispered in my ear as he caught me, our arms tightly wrapping around each other, the mate bonds tingles were stronger than ever and I clutched his usual fighting leathers; soaking in his pine scent, Cassandra howled of happiness to be this close to our mate
“Celeste,” My mate started out later in the night, our dinner with friends and close acquaintances going well and talks of Emrys’ days on the mountains tangled in with our days here at the palace seemed to fill up the hours, and finally it was just him and I back in our home.Not our palace apartment, but home.Sometime in all that chaos, I had found time to let Emrys know every single thing that had happened at the palace and with me since he had been gone, the golden Hebrew message to the hidden ground place to everything else; I even mentioned that when I had time alone and isolated, I had even practiced some more of my fire skills… Emrys wasn’t too happy about being left out of the loop but he understood why I was scared of sending it in letters -and how confusing it would be.&n
Emrys kicked off his shorts before preparing himself before me, his body leaning down, lips connecting to one of my breasts the exact time he entered into me comfortably; a moan erupted from my lips which seemed to encourage my mate.Emrys slammed back into me with harsher and rougher movement, lips and teeth bestowing everything they had from one breast to the next, and with my hands restrained added to the mix.“Rhys,” I whimpered, his hands containing my struggling hips, holding me down, and he didn’t stop as he reached up and tugged on my hair with enough force to send sparks after sparks down my body.And he then moved one hand, bringing his thumb up to my lips and drawing them across the now almost swollen skin, then pushing past my lips; I suck
And here we were, on the brink of something so… So…So important and these two assholes decided now would be a good time to start a fight about intelligence and how they were superior to one another while the rest of us sat on the sidelines, some of us surprised at the sudden yelling, while the rest of us sat in a simmering silence; I was definitely on the silent side.My hands cradled my pregnant belly with my freshly manicured nails, the color of dried roses now freshly coated upon my nails, and everyone thought the color was hinting for a girl when in reality, I just wanted something simple and pretty.Maybe I was having a girl and just subconsciously knew it.Or not.
