Chance’s POV Willow and I were almost done eating when Luna Rayne walked into the kitchen looking for Willow. It seems that the she wolves of the rogue pack were wanting to see Willow and she was happy to visit them. I placed a soft kiss on her lips and told her not to overdo it, before her and Luna Rayne disappeared from the kitchen. Now that Willow was occupied, I wanted to have my word with Damon alone. Rushing out of the kitchen, I head up to the room that I knew he is being kept in. When I make my way down the hallway, I see that Alpha Hunter has men appointed to watch him standing by his door. When I get to the door the men step aside and I open the door and walk in. Damon was sitting up in the bed and he looked much better than the last time I saw him. “I see you are looking much better.” I said to him as I moved to stand at the foot of the bed. “I am doing much better, but I don’t think you came here to check on my health.” Damon said back to me and I knew he wasn’t sl
Willow’s POV It was amazing to see all the she wolves and their pups thriving here at Red Moon. One of our pack teachers already had assessed the children and had started them in their schooling. Everyone seemed so much happier being here but there were a few of the she wolves that wanted to speak to me in private. When I made my way into the tent Anna approached me and showed me to the she wolves that wanted to speak to me. The one I recognized from the night before I was found and brought back here. “Luna Willow, this is Autumn and Missy, they were the newest to our rogue pack.” Anna told me as I moved to take a seat in front of them. “Luna Willow, I was hoping, I mean we were hoping that you would allow us to return to our families and our real mates.” The one named Autumn said to me, and my heart broke at that moment knowing that they had been taken not of their own will. “Of course, you may return to your families and mates. I would never hold you here. Do you have a numb
Willow’s POV I had seen that flicker one too many times before and I knew exactly what it meant. It was faint but it was still there and I needed to get out of this room with my mate and get to Luna Rayne as fast as I could. I knew the only person that could help Alpha Hunter was Christoper. Not wanting to let Alpha Hunter know that I was onto what was going on inside of him, I asked Alpha Chance, “Can I have a word with you about the she wolves being picked up?” Alpha Chance finally took his eyes off Alpha Hunter and said, “Sure.” And I pulled him out of the meeting room and towards his office where I locked the door behind us after we got inside. I knew that the office was soundproof and that is exactly what I needed right now. Alpha Chance looked at me confused as I stood against the door as my heart was racing from what I had just seen. “Is everything okay? Your heart is racing Willow.” He said as he moved towards me. “We have to find Luna Rayne now!” I demanded and Alph
Willow’s POV “You’re pregnant!” The two of them said simultaneously and I could see the fear in Damon’s eyes that he thought the pup could be his. Now that he had found his mate this could seriously complicate things. “I went into heat when I got back, and Alpha Chance and I are expecting a pup.” I said, trying to calm the fear in Damon. “That’s amazing Luna Willow.” Izzy said to me, and I knew she was genuinely happy for me. Damon had finished getting dressed after the shock wore off and he seemed a bit relieved when he asks, “How are we going to get past the guards?” Turning I looked at the door and then back at them and said, “I sort of may have used my magic to send them to their rooms for a nap.” Izzy instantly began to laugh and said, “You seriously sent them to their rooms to nap, now that is funny.” “So, what is the plan?” Damon asks me and I pause realizing I had no plan. All I knew was I needed to get out of this packhouse and away from Alpha Hunter. I needed t
Willow’s POV It didn’t take any convincing from High Priestess Emma to Christopher to get him on board to head to Red Moon once he knew Luna Rayne was there. I headed back with Beta Ethan to my old pack to prepare a group of hand-picked Hybrids to join us at Red Moon. Surprisingly, I was greeted with the respect of a Luna, by them, as they all lowered their heads when I walked into the training area. My old sparring partner Jonas walked over to me and says, “So, you are a Luna now.” As he gave me a playful nudge. I always liked Jonas as a sparring partner but that is as far as it went. Neither of us talked to each other outside of training, but none of the other hybrids ever did either. “That among other things.” I tell him as my wolf wants to show her dominance to his wolf now. Turning I look at Beta Ethan in a conversation with a group of Hybrids that didn’t look a bit happy with what he was telling them. Then I heard one of them say, “Why are we going to go to protect her?
Willow’s POV As Christoper, Sal and I went to get into Christoper’s car, Damon followed us and said, “I am going too.” Christopher looked at Damon for a minute before he said to him, “You cannot interfere with what I am doing. Keep yourself at a distance.” “I can do that. My only concern is Willow and her unborn pup.” Damon told him and he nodded at him understanding now why he is insisting on going along. As Damon and I rode in the back seat together, I had to wonder if a part of him still thought that this pup could be his. He was being protective of me and I had to wonder what was causing that protectiveness. Was it because we had shared time together as a couple or was it because he thought there was a possibility that this pup that I grew inside of me could possibly be his. In all honesty, I had no clue who’s pup it was, but what I did know was it didn’t matter because the pup was going to be raised at Red Moon with Alpha Chance and hopefully Beta Shawn. That took my mi
Chance’s POV It took us what felt like forever for us to make it to the location that Damon had pointed out on the map. The opening of the cave was well hidden but thankfully with my wolf’s sight and smell, I was able to find it hidden behind a large pile of brush. As we began to remove the brush from the opening of the cave that was purposely placed there to hide the entrance, I noticed fresh footprints in the ground and knew that someone had been here recently. Pointing to the fresh footprints, the other Alphas went on high alert knowing that we might have company. We had a handful of my men with us and I told them to spread out and keep watch as Alpha Reese and Alpha Conner followed me into the cave. As we made our way into the cave the smell of sulfur filled my nose and I wonder if this cave was attached to an old mine that used to run through the mountain range. The further we moved into the cave the darker it got as the light from the opening began to dim away and I called upon
Chance’s POV Thankfully the return to where we started was much faster than when we were searching for the cave entrance. Alpha Reese couldn’t wait to get back to Red Moon to assure himself that Luna Rayne was okay and I was also worried about Willow and our pup she was carrying. There were many phone calls to be made and a meeting with Alpha Hunter needed to happen as soon as we returned. The Witch that we encountered at the cave at least provided us with a way to bring down the Moon Witch, but she didn’t get us any closer to finding Beta Shawn and I knew Willow would be disappointed. I can only hope that when we corner the Moon Witch with Christopher, and the Sun Witches that Alpha Reese knows that she will give up Beta Shawn’s location before she meets her death. As we get closer to the packhouse we begin to notice that something was off and Alpha Conner yells for us to stop the SUV. Pulling off the side of the road, he quickly jumps out of the vehicle and heads into the wood
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
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
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
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
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
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
