“Because I thought she was dead!” I screamed, standing to my full height, only inches from his face.
“I looked! I searched for years, for any kind of sign that she was alive. I looked at each and every corpse of my fallen pack mates, I searched every burned-out house and every pile of bodies. I looked!” I was screaming in his face. My body was alive with emotions, grief, guilt and rage.
“They were hunters! How was I meant to know that they kept her alive? How dare you accuse me of giving up, how dare you accuse me of coming after her power. She is my child. I never gave up. I mourned for my family every single day”.
I hadn’t realised that I was being held back by Alyse and Elaine. If it weren’t for them, I would have lunged at the kid. My claws were out and my teeth had descended. He watched me with a stoic expression, but his eyes held the truth, he was surprised by my outburst. Tears streamed down my face in hot waves of painful memories. Th

Lunaya.“I think you’re being irrational” Alyse snapped at me. We had been going around in circles having the same argument all morning.“I’m not being irrational, I'm trying to do the right thing” I groaned once again.“How is that the right thing?” Alyse yelled. She was pacing back and forth in front of me as I sat on a fallen tree. After our talk with Gunner last night and the revelation about Zelena and her relationship with Selene, I agreed to keep my distance. Alyse however thinks I'm being stupid and that I'm just scared of her rejecting me in favour of Selene. I mean, she’s not wrong, but she isn’t totally right either. Gunner told me very little about her upbringing at the hands of that filthy hunter. I don’t know the details, but enough to know that her childhood was hell. She deserves this time, to bask in the newfound joyous relationship. Even if I am jealous, even if I wish it was me
Mother of the Moon Chapter 69 - He's Gone
Lunaya. My eyes fluttered open and I flew upright on the bed. I’m in a bedroom, not the tent, and I’m alone. I grabbed my neck but the wound was gone, completely healed over. Meaning I have been here for at least a few hours. I have been dressed in a large black t-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants. I stood up and walked out of the bedroom door, I headed down a hallway and to a large staircase. At the bottom of the staircase was the foyer, the only part of this huge house that I recognised. I focused my hearing and heard a scurry of voices coming from a door on the left, Alyse’s voice was one of them. I pushed the door open, and all eyes turned to me. Beta Cole, Alyse, Elaine, Phoebe, Romeá, her Mate Lupus, the she-wolf Faylene and a warrior whose name I hadn’t learnt yet, all stood looking at me. “Hello” I said awkwardly, “Nae, you’re alright?” Alyse asked as she stepped forward and placed her small hands on my cheeks. I put my hands over hers and smiled,
Mother of the Moon Chapter 70 - Afraid
Zelena.I stared at Alpha Galterio. He is quite handsome. Thick dark hair and large brown eyes, creamy tanned skin that stretched over his taunt muscles. He’s a big Were, a little intimidating as well, but I don’t know if that is because of his size or the power that he exudes. Freedom to all Were-kind. That’s what he said. How are we not already free? Is he talking about the scourge of the hunters? They are and always will be a threat to the Weres, but their numbers are unknown. How could we defeat them if we don’t know where they are, or how many of them are out there. He stood watching me as I tried to understand the message behind his statement. I don’t want to like him, he is cocky and arrogant, but there is something else there. Something that seems genuine, maybe. I really don’t know about this. I don’t want to trust him, but my damn stomach, it is reaching out for him.“What does that mean?” I asked him caut
Mother of the Moon Chapter 71 - Help Me!
Zelena. For the first time ever, I am afraid of Gunner. “Please” I cried, continuing to wiggle around. He didn’t answer me, just watched me cry and thrash in his deathly grip. This wasn’t my Gunner. My Gunner was loving, and caring, and gentle. Whoever this Were is, he’s rough and callous, and downright terrifying. His anger dance through my veins, trying to seduce me to the darkness, but I fought against it. The growl that rumbled through his chest was enough to put a stop to my thrashing. I looked up to his dark and dangerous eyes. Tears blurred my vision, but the rage on his face was clear. “Gunner, stop it, please” I pleaded. But it was no use. There was no getting through to him, not like this. Tobias is too far away to flash for help, and Gunner is the only other person I have flashed with. I don’t know what to do, I can’t use my powers on him. Not again. Not after the last time. I looked over Gunner’s shoulder and saw Smith and Nat standing together fu
Mother of the Moon Chapter 72 - Galterio
Zelena.My stomach was in knots and I felt weak and nauseous. I ached all over. I groaned and rolled over on the bed, reaching for Gunner. I pressed my face into his chest and inhaled. I quickly flew upright and stared at the person I was just cuddling into. Galterio smirked back at me.“I prefer to be the big spoon” he mused with a cheeky twitch of his lip. He sat on the bed with his back leaning against the headboard and his hands behind his head, his legs were laid out along the bed with his ankles crossed. I quickly looked down at myself and saw that I was now draped in a baggy white t-shirt. I flicked my eyes over the room we were in, confirming that we are alone in here.“Where am I?” I snapped back at Galterio,“Is that the welcome I get after rescuing you?” he teased, still smirking.I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose, hoping to ward off my headache. What the fuck happened? Gunner was angr
Mother of the Moon Chapter 73 - The Cause
Zelena.“Where are you going? Can I come with you?” I asked Galterio, trying to make my voice as sweet and innocent as possible. But in truth, I just needed to find a way out of here and back to Tri-Moon. Galterio looked me over for a minute, studying my face closely.“Will you behave?” he asked with a smirk. That smirk is really starting to get on my nerves.“What exactly does ‘behaving’ entail?” I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest.“You don’t hurt anyone. You listen with an open mind when I talk to you about the cause. And most importantly, you don’t run” he said back, mimicking my stance with his arms crossed.“Don’t run? So I am a prisoner?” I sneered,“No Beauty, you are a guest. A very important and protected guest. It will be hard to protect you if you are running from me and my guards” he mused with a teasing grin.&ldq
Mother of the Moon Chapter 74 - Where is my daughter?
Lunaya. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE ATTACKED HER?!” I bellowed. My furious voice echoed around the entire pack land. I’m sure every Were in the vicinity heard me. Elaine jumped forward and wrapped her massive arms around my upper body. I suppose she assumed I was going to attack. She wasn’t wrong. I wanted to kill the Were Smith, I don’t care that he is just the messenger. I really wish that I could shoot lasers from my eyes in this moment. I glared at my daughter’s Mate’s limp body. I wanted blood for what he did to her. I looked behind where Smith and Cole were holding the unconscious Gunner, waiting for Zelena to exit the car. But she wasn’t there. Roe was crying hysterically while running her hands over Gunner’s face, and Lupus was pacing back and forth, swearing to himself. Phoebe stood close to Elaine and I, ready to help Elaine restrain me. Alyse was cautiously moving closer to where the boys were holding Gunner, taking slow steps as to not make it too obvious. And Zelena wa
Mother of the Moon Chapter 75 - A Prophecy
Lunaya. “You fucking traitor!” Gunner screamed at the top of his lungs while glaring at Cole. Where did that come from? “Gunner!” Lupus bellowed. Gunner snapped his head to his father and his face fell. A look of confusion and hurt came over him and he stopped shaking the bars. “Dad?” Gunner said softly, “What did you do, son?” Lupus asked him firmly, “I... I didn’t do anything. What’s happening? You're with Cole?” Gunner mumbled, moving his eyes from his father to Cole and back again. “Gunner, what do you remember?” Cole asked stepping closer to the cell door. Gunner growled and threw his arms through the gap in the bars and tried to swipe at Cole. When he missed, he grabbed the vertical bars and shook the door with all his might. “Don’t you fucking speak to me you filthy fucking traitor! I'll kill you for this you bastard” Gunner roared. I am completely lost now. What is it that Cole has done? Either way my patience was start

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. “
Mother of the Moon Epilogue 1
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
Mother of the Moon Chapter 104 - I'm your mother
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.
Mother of the Moon Chapter 103 - Midnight snack
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
Mother of the Moon Chapter 102 - Around the fire
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
Mother of the Moon Chapter 101 - New Power
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
Mother of the Moon Chapter 100 - Shower
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
