Zelena.
I laid with my head resting on Gunner’s chest. We had stayed here for a few more hours, just to be on the safe side. To make sure the heat was really over. I looked around at the small room, a familiar feeling came to me. I’ve been here before.
“Gunner, where are we?” I asked as I sat up,
“Huh?” he mumbled.
“What is this place?”
Gunner sat upright and glanced at me. He bit his lip and rubbed his hand over the back of his neck, something I have noticed he does when he is nervous or uncomfortable.
“It’s uh, it’s the cabin” he said meekly.
“The cabin? What cabin?” I looked around the room again. The cold concrete floor, the steel walls and the iron bars covering the door. I have definitely been here before. A sick feeling filled my stomach and I wanted to vomit.
“Gunner, why?” I grunted as I slowly stood up off the raggedy mattr
Zelena.Roe and Lupus came barrelling down the porch steps towards us.“Sweet girl, how are you feeling?” Roe fussed as she smooshed my face between her small hands.“You gave us quite the scare” Lupus rumbled as he gently squeezed my shoulder.“I’m sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn’t know” I mumbled, I could feel the lump in my throat working its way up and tears welling up in my eyes.“Nonsense, it wasn’t your fault dear. We're just glad that you’re okay” Roe cooed as she pulled me into her arms and hugged me tightly.“You’re not mad?” I choked out from within her constricting embrace. She may be a small woman, but she is damn strong.“Don’t be ridiculous” she huffed and Lupus laughed from behind her.“We should have known you had another surprise up your sleeve” Lupus chuckled,“We never quite know w
Zelena.“Do you like this one?” I asked Gunner as I twirled in a circle in front of him, showing off my baby blue silk skirt and soft brown cami top. I had my hair up in a high ponytail to show off the mark on top of my shoulder, and I wore some light makeup. Nat has been teaching me all about the joys of makeup and beauty products. And I’m loving my lessons, which usually end with us in fits of giggles, lots of junk food and full glam makeup.“You look beautiful, as always” Gunner cooed as he eyed me up and down,“But the outfit, do you like the outfit?” I asked with a pout. Gunner smirked and strode over to me, his black slacks clung to his muscled thighs and sat low on his hips. That tempting V that rolled from his firm abbs to the band of his pants, had my crotch throbbing. He reached me and leaned down to cup my ass cheeks.“I like the way it sits over this” he said with a firm squeeze. He then leaned down further and licked over his mark on my shoulder.
Lunaya.“What’s his damage” Alyse asked quietly as we watched Cole storm off.“No idea” I replied. Something is very wrong with that boy, and I think it runs much deeper than he is letting on.“What is he talking about?” Romeá demanded of me.“As he said, it’s nothing” I threw back at her.“I don’t believe you” she grumbled, edging closer,“I assure you, everything will be revealed in due time. Until then you will just have to trust me” I said staring at the small she-wolf blankly. Her lips curled back and a small quiet growl came from her, but she didn’t argue further. After a minute, the man I assumed to be Gunner’s father, whispered in Romeá’s ear. She nodded her head and he walked off again.“Where is Beta Elaine?” a voice called from behind us. I turned around to see Analah with a group of Weres fo
Lunaya.I walked over to where he sat and perched myself on the trunk beside him. He didn’t greet me or acknowledge my arrival. I sat quietly and watched him from the corner of my eye. The lights from the clearing shone on his face, highlighting the sharp angles of his jaw and nose. But still, the shadows made the dips of his face accentuate the shallow and gloominess. Though he is a handsome man, his eyes hold so much darkness. After a while, once I realised he was not going to speak first, I broke the silence.“You didn’t tell them” I spoke, looking back to the village.“Tell them what?” he answered, sounding uninterested.“About who I said I was here for”“It’s not my story to tell” he said leaning back and crossing his arms over his chest.“You know it’s not a story though, I can tell that you believe me” I said, now looking at him.“Yeh, and
Lunaya.“I did something” he said softly,“What kind of something?” I asked, keeping my tone level,“Something bad” he clipped out.“Do you want to tell me about it?”“I can’t” he whispered. I sat quietly and thought about what he said. It was no doubt adding to his anger and sadness, whatever it is he has done.“Is it something you can come back from?” I tried to push him as gently as I could, but his words were now making me feel very anxious. What could he have possibly done?“I... I don’t know” he replied, slumping forward once again.“Look, I don’t know what you have done, but I can see you, Cole. You’re a good Were. I’m sure that whatever it is, you can find a way to make it better. All you can do is try”“I don’t know about that” he said dejectedly.“You&rsquo
Lunaya.“Alpha Gunner” I called to him as I approached. He turned to me and the aggression he held on his face, dissipated instantly.“I’m sorry, I have forgotten your name” he said quietly whilst running his hand over his face. The look of exhaustion was evident in his dark eyes.“That’s okay Alpha, you’ve had a long night. I am Lunaya, this is Venus, she is also from Luna Eclipse. Two of your she-wolves are scouting the perimeter” I told him eagerly.“Which she-wolves?” he asked, his voice sounding somewhat disinterested whilst holding a demanding tone.“They told me their names were Casey and Faylene”“Okay good, Faylene is second in command to my highest-ranking commander. You can trust her” he said tiredly.“Yes Alpha” I replied. He went to turn back inside but stopped and turned back to me again,“I forgot, I have c
Lunaya.I came to the village edge in no time and saw Elaine in the distance. She was standing at the bottom of the porch steps that led up into the pack house. Her eyes found me as I burst through the trees and she waved me over.“Hurry up, we are the last ones to go in” she hissed at me. I changed back and stood in front of her naked. She groaned and mumbled to herself as she stomped up the steps of the porch. She didn’t go through the door though, instead she turned and walked over to the raining. I saw what she was doing then, there were clothes lined up, draped over the railing. She grabbed some and came back to me and thrust them into my chest, all while groaning about horny males and that we can’t be naked whenever we want anymore. She wouldn’t admit it to my face, but I could already tell she was missing Luna Eclipse.I pulled on the large grey shirt and black shorts and then we hurried into the pack house. I followed behind
Lunaya.“Beta Elaine” a strong and velvety male voice called from behind us. We turned around to see the gigantic bald Were towering over us, staring hungrily at Elaine.“I wish to introduce myself” he said smoothly,“Very well” Elaine grumbled back.“My name is Tobias, former Alpha of Blue Moon pack, now lead advisor of the Tri-Moon pack. It is an honor to meet you” he said smirking at Elaine. He bowed low but kept his eyes on hers.“Former Alpha?’ Elaine questioned, curiously. Or as curiously as Elaine gets.“Yes ma’am. I passed the role to my brother and joined Tri-Moon after the battle with the hunter clan” he told her. The amount of sexual tension and desire he was emitting was sickening, probably more so to a lesbian like myself. But that’s fine, because apparently, I have become invisible.“You handed over the position? Why?” Elaine
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
