Zelena.
We all climbed into the car, Roe in the passenger seat and Felix driving, the rest of us in the back. Nat, as per usual, hooked up some music for the trip. And we were off. The drive was slow, especially as we got closer to the city. It looks like everyone is out and about, trying to make the most of their last week of summer break before the new school year starts. I am so damn glad that I don’t have to do the high school thing anymore. That place was hell. I’m also so thankful to Lupus, he pretended to be my father and told the school that I finished my senior year doing online schooling. I was able to graduate and got my high school diploma. After everything that I had to endure during my schooling, the last thing that I wanted was to be a high school dropout.
“Once we get to the centre, I want you all to stick together. No stragglers, and no one is to walk off alone. Understood?” Felix’s commanding voice filled the car. We all
Lunaya.Staying true to her Seer ways, all Pappi told me was Nova Scotia. No town name, not the name of my daughter, nothing. I wonder if the hunters kept her birth name, engraved on a dainty bracelet they wore on the wrist. I wonder how she escaped them. So many questions. A frenzy of emotions swarmed through my body. Joy, because she lives. Fear, that she will reject me as her mother. Anxiety, being forced to wait even longer before seeing her. Pride, that the Goddess has once again risen, and from my child. But above all, hope. It has been a long time that I felt true unadulterated hope. There have been flickers and small glimmers of it over the years, but they dissipated as quickly as they arrived. This time, the hope stays. It warms my body, prickling over my skin and coming to rest deep inside my heart.Although I fought to leave Luna Eclipse right away, I reluctantly agreed to wait a few more days. Hina has ordered that her Beta, Elaine, join us on the trip to N
Lunaya.So, she wants to tease me. I leaned forward and look her bottom lip between my teeth and growled. She hummed and snaked her hands up my neck to my hair, slowly pulling out the band to release my golden-brown tresses. I let go of her lip and she stuck out her tongue, flicking it over my lips. Moving my hand to the back of her head, I crashed my lips to hers and hungrily kissed her. She slipped her tongue into my mouth and deepened the kiss.I stood from the chair, keeping Alyse in my arms and carried her to the bed. I gripped her backside to keep her body against mine and gently laid her down, perching above her. I unbuttoned her jeans and pulled the zip down. Leaning my weight on one arm, I kissed her eagerly while moving my other hand under her jeans and to her sweet spot. I traced my fingers across her moist slit, and she moaned into my mouth. The fire of my desire exploded with just that one beautiful and erotic sound from her, a desperate and hungry need se
Lunaya.Only twenty more minutes. The alarm will go off in twenty minutes and then it’s time to get up, get dressed and leave Luna Eclipse. I have laid in bed wide awake for just over an hour now, the excitement running through me just won’t let me sleep. Even falling asleep to begin with was difficult. Alyse, as usual, is passed out and curled up under my arm. She needs the sleep, so I won’t move yet and risk waking her.Seventeen minutes. If only I had the will power to stop staring at my watch. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what my child might look like today. Would she resemble me at all? I picture her with soft brown hair like my own but with Micha’s pale skin and bright golden-brown eyes. Both Micha and I are tall and muscular, so I would assume that our offspring would fare the same height and strength. Though being the chosen daughter of the Goddess and being blessed with the power of telekinesis, that is strength enough alone.
Lunaya.We picked up our bags and headed out into the small clearing in front of the dining hall. The snow had stopped falling through the night, but the ground was covered in knee deep fresh powder and the wind was harsh against my bare cheeks. It was still dark and too early for the other pack members to be awake. Pappi stood holding onto Hina’s arm, as they said their goodbyes to Elaine and the warriors. Alyse and I stood to the side to give them some privacy. It didn’t take long for Elaine to embrace Hina, kiss Pappi on the temple and turn to walk over to us. The other warriors joined her, and we all started to make our way out of the village. I stopped at the edge of the tree line and turned back to look at Hina. She was still standing and watching us closely. I offered her a wave and in reply she nodded her head slowly. I turned my back to her and caught up to the others. It took Alyse and I three days to climb this mountain and find Luna Eclipse. Now, we we
Lunaya.Alyse's fingers grazed along my own and disappeared. I’d missed her. Her harrowing scream came to a sudden halt as a set of hands pulled me back against the wall. I glared at the woman holding me back. Looking back to Alyse she was gone, in her place was Elaine. Hanging from the narrow ledge by one hand. I ran my eyes down her body to her other arm. There holding on with knuckles turning white, was Alyse. The sight of her hanging by the balls of death snapped me back to reality.“GRAB MY BAG!” I screamed at the woman behind me, and she obeyed immediately. I crouched down and forced my fingers into a small grove on the ledge. If there was any skin left on my fingertips before, it was all gone now. I began to lower myself off the ledge but was met with a scream from Elaine.“Don’t you fucking dare!” she growled. I snapped my eyes to her and snarled. How dare she try to forbid me from saving my Mate. I looked down at Alys
Zelena.“Where the fuck were you? I told you to stay next to her the entire time. Was that really so fucking difficult?” Gunner’s angry voice filled the entire office, bouncing off the walls and reverberating back through my ears.Roe sat in the matching chair next to me, her hands placed in her lap and her head bowed down in shame. Felix stood between the two chairs with his shoulders held firm and high, but his head bowed, and hands clasped behind his back. Gunner has been raging now for nearly twenty minutes. First at Felix, then his mum, he gave me a few stern words and is now back to screaming at Felix.“I told you, I fucking told you that more would come for her. But no! You had to leave the village, you just had to go shopping”.Gunner was pacing back and forth behind his desk, waving his arms around as he yelled and cursed at the three of us. Though, I don’t see how this is my fault. How was I supposed to know t
Zelena.“Do you like what you see little wolf?” he purred seductively. Well two can play this game. I stood from my chair very slowly, keeping my eyes locked on his. Taking one small step forward I reached my hands towards him and rested them on his chest. Gunner uncrossed his arms and set his hands on the desk at his sides. I dragged my hands down his chest, feeling every curve and twitch of his muscles. I let them stop at the top of his pants and fiddled my fingers with the buckle of his belt.“I do” I answered softly, looking up at him through my dark lashes. His smirk widened and his eyes flashed with a mischievous lust. Undoing his belt, I began to slide it out of the loops in one slow and steady motion.“You look good enough to eat actually” I preened at him as I flung the belt to the floor. I pulled the hem of his shirt, untucking it from his pants and begun undoing the buttons. Working my way up to the collar, I let my fingernails graze over the exposed fle
Zelena.A few hours later I sat on the porch swing looking over the village, the sun has disappeared behind the trees and the summer air was thick with anticipation. Set up for the party tomorrow night was well underway. Some big brawly pack members were nearly done building what looked like a raised platform or stage, and long picnic tables were being laid out in rows before it. Big tents were being set up around the outskirts of the village, for the members of the visiting packs to stay in. A lot of Blue Moon members were coming, one of which is Marius, Tobias’s younger brother and Beta. He had become good friends with Gunner while I was in my coma. I don’t think Gunner knows about my first interaction with Marius and the comments that were made, hopefully he never will. After all, it was just innocent flirting. Nothing worth jeopardising a friendship and strong alliance over.This afternoon I managed to catch parts of a tense conversation between Gunner
Zelena. With my head on Tobias’s chest and the warmth of his body washing over me, his steady heartbeat was slowly lulling me to sleep. That peace was broken when a group of wolves came running through the village, stopping at the bottom of the porch steps. I stood up and walked to the railing, only for Tobias to push me behind him and growl down at the gathered wolves. The largest of the group, a brownish orange wolf, changed form and stood up. I recognise this guy, he’s the same age as Gunner and me, and a friend of Gunner’s. He had been making his way up in the ranks over the past few months. Daniel, I think his name is. I stepped around Tobias and looked down at the muscular Were. His blonde hair sat in a shaggy mess of curls atop his head, and his dark hazel eyes looked back up at me. He was quite tall, with a slim frame sporting a lot of defined muscles. “You’re Daniel, right?” I asked him. He bowed his head and placed his hand over his heart. “
Epilogue.Zelena.My brain is ready to explode. Firstly, I find out that I'm pregnant, which of course I'm thrilled about now. Admittedly, I was terrified at first, but it’s hard to be scared when so many people around you are happy and excited. Their excitement has rubbed off on me. Roe has already started arranging a Litter Party, which is apparently like a baby shower. She hasn’t let me see it, but I know she is working on a nursery as well. Nat has been a constant at my side. Always happy to talk babies and throwing ridiculous baby names at me. Something is going on with Nat, I can’t put my finger on it yet. She has been avoiding talking about herself, which is weird and alarming all on its own. Each time I try to talk about her, she swings the topic back around to me or babies. Maybe she is just lonely, with Smith taking on most of the Beta duties, he is barely around. I understand if that’s what is bothering her, I miss him too. Smith is m
Lunaya.“You’re pregnant” I blurted out.Zelena choked and sat up straight. Her wide eyes finding mine immediately.“Excuse me?” she squeaked. Gunner snaked his arm further around her waist and pulled her into him closer. A protective and possessive motion. Something I remember all too well with Micha. His protective instincts increased tenfold. He was a warrior, so he was already very protective. But the second he could sense hispup,he wouldn’t let anyone get close to me without a warning growl. Gunner’s an Alpha, so his instincts would be higher still.
Lunaya.Alyse and I were huddled in the corner booth, stuffing our faces with bread and lukewarm stew. Alyse had her legs draped over mine so that she was nearly in my lap. I had a piece of bread hanging between my teeth as I waved it in front of Alyse’s mouth. She chuckled and snapped her teeth at the bread, pulling it from my mouth. I laughed and grabbed either side of her face, I pulled her to me and pressed my lips to her cheek. The kitchen door flew open and in walked Gunner with Zelena in his arms. She had her arms and legs wrapped around him like a koala. Alyse and I went silent as we watched them enter. Gunner paused and flicked his eyes to mine. He quickly looked to Alyse and then down at the bowls in front of us, before continuing on into the kitchen. I sat up straight, expecting that he would put Zelena down so I could see her. But instead, he kept one arm under her backside and carried her with him to the fridge. Zelena had her head nuzzled into the crook of
Lunaya.I left Zelena to rest and went in search of Alyse. No doubt she is tending to the injured Weres. As I made my way outside, I found the clearing filled with bandaged and bloodied Weres. Most of them were up and about, walking around or sitting and talking. Some, however, were laid out on stretcher beds, in far worse shape. A few tables had been set up with some she-wolves serving food to the warriors. I spotted Alyse flittering between two stretcher beds and made my way to her.“Can I help?” I asked. I stepped up behind her as she was wiping the blood from a she-wolfs face. Alyse jumped with a squeak and turned around, I’d startled her. I smiled and she sighed.“No love, you need to rest as well. Go get yourself something to eat, I will join you shortly” she squeezed my forearm with a soft smile on her beautiful face, before turning back to the she-wolf. I looked around and spotted Ares sitting with his sister on some large l
Lunaya. That fucking Origin Alpha. He tried to force her to be his Mate. Not the first time a descendant of Gill has tried to blend the bloodlines. The fucker already had a Mate and heir, plus Zelena has a destined Mate. What idiot told him that it would work. Oh, let me guess that fool of a Prophet. Fucking bastards. Artemis thought she had to choose between two mates, and so they tried to force her hand. Those damned idiots! My anger flared and before I got the chance to compose myself, I slammed my fist into the tiled wall. The tiles cracked and shattered at the force of my punch and then clattered to the floor. Tobias looked at me with a quirked eyebrow, “You already know?” he said. “Yeh, I already know. The Origin Alpha, right? That fucking treacherous line of egotistical morons. Gill’s descendants have been trying to snag a daughter of Selena for generations. Came close at one point, but they never succeeded in joining the lines” I snarled. “Com
Lunaya.The trip back to Tri-Moon was dismal. All of Lua Chei, apart from Analah, Ares and four others, went back to their pack lands. Alpha Travis bid farewell and left for Waning Wolf with his warriors. Tobias insisted that his brother, Alpha Marius, went back home. They argued over it for a while, but Tobias won, and his brother went back to their pack. Alpha Lace however, he refused to go home. He sent his men and Beta back, keeping only three Weres with him. He was very insistent on coming back to Tri-Moon, and I am very curious as to why.Tobias and Gunner were very tight-lipped about what ever happened out there. All they said was that the Origin Alpha murdered Cole, and then they killed him in return. As for Zelena and her unconscious state, they said that she depleted her energy fighting off the Alpha. I could tell they were lying. Zelena is a Triple Goddess. It would have weakened her, but not to this extent. Something else happened. And I'll be dammed if the
Zelena. “It’s my fault. I sent my brother to die” Gunner cried and squeezed his arms. My chest constricted under his hold, and I couldn’t take a full breath. But my concern was for my pup. His arms were crushing me under the weight of his guilt, and our pup along with it. I tapped on his head to let me go but my signal didn’t register. *Gunner, you’re crushing our pup* I flashed him in a strained tone. He immediately shot himself back, flying his body off the bed and across the room. He held his hands out in front of him, like he was trying to show me he wouldn’t hurt me. The same way he did on the day I first changed. I know he won't hurt me on purpose. What is this about? “I’m sorry, I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to, I swear it” he rushed out as his eyes swept down my body. A look of shame and disgust filled his eyes. But I could still feel him, his emotions and tho
Zelena. “Mother?” I said meekly. “Yes, daughter of mine” Selene answered me. “You’re Selene, the Moon Goddess?” Gunner stated obviously. She turned her angry eyes to him and nodded. Gunner dropped to the ground on his hands and knees with his head pressed into the dirt. Tobias huffed and shook his head. “Too late for that don’t you think? You've already insulted and disrespected her” he grumbled. “Stand up boy” Selene snapped. Gunner shot back up to his feet immediately. He stood with his hands at his side and his head facing down. “Mother, what are you doing here?” I asked her, stepping forward. “I had no choice. I won’t stand back and watch you destroy yourselves. You are meant for more than that” she hissed harshly. I lowered my head as I filled with shame. She's mad. I made her mad. “I... I'm sorry” I said softly. A tear ran down my cheek as I looked back up at her. Her pale white eyes gazed back at me sadly. She wa
