Chance’s POV Word got to me that Willow had made it out of the tunnels, and I knew that Celeste was with her. I motion to Alpha Hunter that they were safe and that we could move forward with our plan. Our men then slowly started to retreat, and the second part of our plan went into action as Alpha Hunter motioned to his men to set the detonators. There was only one problem to this plan, and it was we hadn’t encountered the Moon Witch or Willow’s father since we raided the old mining headquarters. It made me wonder if they had already headed to Canyon Ridge with receiving my letter and I just hope that Alpha Conner and his men were prepared for them. Once we were all in the clear and in the main outdoor building Alpha Hunter gave the command to level the old mining tunnels to the ground taking away one more of the Moon Witch’s hiding places. As soon as the detonation went off the room began to fill with dust from within the tunnels and we exited the building knowing that the tunn
Willow’s POV The blast sent us all flying backwards but someone caught me before my body hit the ground and softened the impact. My ears began to ring and I slowly turned to see who had caught me. Laying beneath my body lay Celeste and her eyes were shut and she wasn’t moving. I began to shake her, trying to wake her up, but she remained unconscious, and I was beginning to worry that she hit the ground too hard. I began to cry out her name, hoping she would hear me and open her eyes, but she still remained motionless on the ground. Alpha Shawn made it to me and began to check me for injuries. “I am fine. Help Celeste.” I cried to him. Alpha Chance then made it to me and when he saw Celeste’s helpless body lying on the ground, he quickly picked her up and began to run with her to what I assumed was the infirmary. Alpha Shawn helped me to my feet, and we began to follow them, and I just prayed that she was okay. She had taken the blunt force of the blow to save me, and my pup and
Shawn’s POV Alpha Reese and Luna Rayne came running into the infirmary and Luna Rayne went straight to Alpha Hunter and Alpha Caleb and their newborn pup, but Alpha Reese came straight over to me and Alpha Chance. “I need your help.” Alpha Reese tells me and I can see there is an issue that needs our attention. “What’s going on?” I asked him but his eyes shoot to Willow and then back at me and I knew he didn’t want to say anything in front of her. I lean down and kissed Willow on the forehead and said, “I will be back stay here with Celeste.” Alpha Chance did the same and the two of us left the infirmary with Alpha Reese and headed outside back to the front of the house. Alpha Conner and the Sun Witches were now standing around where the Moon Witch once stood and I had to wonder what they were searching for. The blast felt like the largest burst of magical energy I have ever felt in my life and I couldn’t imagine that she could have survived it. “Good, you guys are here.” Alph
Chance’s POV Knowing that Willow was going to stay with Celeste made me feel at ease knowing what we were about to do. Neither one of them needed to be around when we seal the Moon Witch in her realm hopefully forever. The Moon Witch has caused enough heartache for us to last a lifetime and I can’t wait till this is all over with and we can take Willow back to Red Moon and start our family together. A large group of us moved to the meeting room to discuss how we were going to trap the Moon Witch in her own realm. Once everyone was in the room Alexandra, Luna Rayne’s mother, began to tell us about the spell that Joshua used to trap her and her mate in the realms they were in. On the way here she had made some adjustments to the spell and she began to show Sal. “Sal, do you think it will work?” Alpha Hunter asks him and Sal begins to shake his head before he says, “Yes, but we will need to do the spell when the sun is at its highest peak, to draw this much power. It’s too late tod
Willow’s POV Alpha Shawn kept stealing glances of me on the way to the Sun witches’ Covenant and I had to smile knowing that he was doing this, and I could feel the bond between us humming away. I was happy to hear that he would be accompanying us but really wished that both of my mates would be here with me now. Since Alpha Shawn and I mated we hadn’t gotten alone time together and I really looked forward to spending the night with him. I could tell by what I sensed from him that he too was looking forward to the night we would be spending together alone. “How much longer before we get there?” Celeste asks from the back seat breaking the silence in the SUV. Alpha Shawn looks in the rear-view mirror at her, before he says, “We should be there within the hour.” Celeste let out a sigh and I turned slightly in my seat to look at her. I could tell that she wasn’t used to riding in a vehicle and I wondered if she was getting car sick, from her pale appearance. “Are you feeling, o
Shawn’s POV I had my own mate on my mind, and needs that I wanted to fulfill with her since the car ride here. There was no way I was going to be dealing with Alpha Hunter’s daughter finding her mate and the best man for the job would be Alpha Caleb since he is kind a stepfather to her. Regardless, I had one thing on my mind and that was to get to a room alone with my mate. As we got to the second floor, I guided Willow down the hallway to the last room on the right-hand side. My reasoning for doing so was because I wanted as much privacy with my mate as possible, with the things I wanted to do to her. The need to be with her has been overwhelming since we mated and I can’t put it off much longer, as my body aches to be with her and so does my heart. The small touches and kisses aren’t enough and I need to be buried deep inside her and feel the ultimate connection between the two of us. Opening the door, Willow stepped inside and we both took in the king sized bed in the center
Chance’s POV After the Lunas and pups had left for the Sun Witches’ home, we began to prepare for the worse. There was a good chance that the Moon Witch would return, especially since Celeste was still here in our world. Alpha Hunter wasn’t taking any chances and he had every wolf he had posted around the packhouse as the Sun Witches and a few of the Canyon Ridge Witches put up wards around the premises waiting for her to show her face. When everything was in place Alpha Hunter and I stood guard together waiting for her on the front stoop of the packhouse. Night was falling and we had gotten word that the Lunas and pups had safely reached the Sun Witches’ town and were safe for the night. A bit of relief filled me knowing that Willow was safe and that Shawn was with her. A part of me was jealous that he was there with her, but I knew I had to be here with Alpha Hunter to protect not only Willow but all wolf kind. It was an oath that I had taken and an oath that an Alpha took serio
Willow’s POV I must have fallen asleep in Alpha Shawn’s arms after he had made love to me. The connection that we shared here was more than I ever could have imagined having with him and we finally had the chance to open our hearts to each other. We were no longer two broken souls because we had mended the pieces of each other’s hearts back together. As I began to stir in his arms, he pulled me in closer to him and kissed the top of my forehead. It seems that both of us had needed a nap and he was just waking up too. “I could get used to this.” He said as he held me close to him. I wasn’t going to lie, it felt amazing being in his arms right now after we had been fighting the connection between the two of us for so long now. “Does that mean we will be sharing a room when we get back home?” I asked him, wondering if he was finally going to spend the whole night with me. “Things are different now and I promise once we get back to Red Moon the three of us are going to sit down an
Willow’s POV A few days have passed since we sealed the Moon Witch in her realm and thankfully Celeste has kept in contact with me and she is doing well. She has decided to stay with Ash for the time being and plans on visiting Alpha Hunter so she can get to know him. What Luna Ella did for her that day showed that she accepts Celeste into their family and I hope that Celeste will give her the chance to become a stepmother to her. Which leads me to what is to happen to myself today. My nerves were on edge, knowing that I was going to meet my real father today. Alpha Chance and Alpha Shawn have continuously reassured me that I have nothing to worry about but I can’t help worrying about being rejected by him, like I had been with the man that had raised me all those years. I wanted nothing more than to have a parent that would accept me for who I am. As I sat outside on the back patio at the table, I had to wonder what he looks like and if he would accept me after he sees how much
Willow’s POV It took no convincing on my part to get Luna Rayne to allow us to borrow her moonstone. In fact, she was even willing to help in any way possible she could with her own moon magic because Celeste was Sal’s brother’s mate and she didn’t want her friend’s little brother hurting. When I returned to Sal’s lair, I had Luna Rayne in tow with me and Sal looked happy to see her. “I hear we have a rescue mission. Count me in.” Luna Rayne tells Sal and he smiles at his friend knowing that she has his back too. “Thank you, Luna Rayne.” Alpha Hunter says to her and she gives him a smile and says, “Ridgewood will always have your back and the Sun Witches. We are more of a family then just neighboring communities and I want happiness for us all.” Luna Rayne couldn’t have said it better and she would have been a wonderful High Priestess of our Covenant but that was taken from her. It was okay because she chose to be a Luna instead with her mate Alpha Reese. I’m starting to belie
Willow’s POV To say that I felt sated by my mates as we all fell asleep holding each other last night was an understatement. I had needed both of my mates, not just in mind, but also in body and soul after what had happened to Celeste. I needed to know that we were all here together and I had them here safe with me. As I woke up this morning, all I could think about was Celeste and what I could do to bring her back here to us. The look on Ash’s face last night told me that he wasn’t going to let that realm be closed with her in it but he was only one warlock standing against his Covenant and I knew he didn’t stand a chance on his own. Slowly getting out of bed so as not to disturb my mates, I quickly got dressed and headed to find Ash. Getting out of the house undetected was easy, due to the fact that everyone was still asleep from last night’s events. When I opened the door to the house, I was surprised to see that Ash was sitting on the steps staring at the spot where Celeste h
Chance’s POV I had been waiting in the shadows of the night, with Sal, behind Alpha Hunter, just in case the Moon Witch got passed him with Celeste, but I never imagined that they would have disappeared in thin air. “I thought you said that the Moon Witch’s powers wouldn’t work here.” I said to Sal in complete shock. Before he could answer me, I heard my mate screaming, and knew I had to get to her. Appearing from the shadows, I raced towards Willow who was now in Shawn’s arms, as he tried to comfort her. Willow kept crying out “No” as Shawn held her close and rubbed her back. “The Moon Witch didn’t take her.” A younger man said from beside Willow, and I knew this had to be Sal’s brother, and Celeste’s mate, Ash. “What do you mean the Moon Witch didn’t take her. I saw it with my own eyes.” Alpha Hunter said as he moved over towards us. “Celeste took her.” Ash says and Sal comes up behind me and says, “He’s right. Celeste had to of been the one that took her. The Moon Witch’s
