“Can I speak to my daughter alone?” Shayla asked as she shoved her pockets.

“Sure, I need to get some sleep anyway.” Astra said as she left the room.

Shayla and angelica sat in the armchairs by the fireplace. They sat in silence for a moment before Angelica broke the silence.

“I am so sorry for running away.” She said praying her mom wouldn’t be angry. “I had no idea Jack was an assassin.”

“How could you have known I was so hell-bent on keeping all this from you.” Shayla said as she easied Angelica's worries. “I should have told you sooner. Astra was right, keeping you in the dark was unnecessary. If I had told you why I was so overprotective all this would have been avoided and we may have found your father sooner. I never listened to your needs and what you wanted. That was wrong of me; I should have listened to you both.”

“I had the same dream for years. They started when I was fourteen. I thought everyone had those dreams. I

    “How in the world are you going to just target those who won’t stand against us?” Devon asked after Angelica shared her plan with everyone else. “That just it; we send the message to everyone. Only those who don’t wish us harm can cross the barrier.” Angelica said as she picked at her breakfast. “There have to be others who are sick of hiding and tired of the bloodshed.” “The vampiric council has murdered so many there has to be others who are angry.” Devon stared at his hands thinking of Clair and the child he never held. The pain from the wound was still fresh after twenty years. “They will come.” “So how do I broadcast the message to everyone?” Angelica asked as she popped bacon into her mouth. “I don’t want to send it out to humans and out the fact that vampires and werewolves exist.” “They would have a heart attack if they discovered the truth that their trashy paperbacks are real.” Astra said as she chewed her own bacon. “I completely understand why you don’t like the series

    **TRIGGER WARNING VIOLENCE**The moon is bright in the dead of night. The stars shine big and bright. A lovely night to stroll the wood. You would stay out all night if you could. The night lulls you into feeling safe, but all is not what it seems. When the moon is full, big, and bright, beware the werewolf's bite. Chapter Two: TransformationThe sun was shining in Angelica’s face woke her as the car cruised the highway. The radio was playing a rock song softly as Jack stared straight ahead. She looked out the window to new surroundings passing by. The morning sky was bright and cloudless with birds flying above. The summer wind rustled the trees gently along the grassy fields along the highway.“You’re awake; want to stop fo

    The crescent moon smiles down below. Ignorant of the world below. The stars glow, and the moon shines. A tear falls from your eye. The moon smiles a slim, thin grin. Now our story truly begins. Chapter Three: Secrets Revealed “Angelica, you need to calm down,” Astra called from her broom as she descended from the sky and jumped to the ground. Her broom collapsed into a pocket-sized hand broom. Angelica growled at Astra as she moved to a lunge to attack. Astra grabbed the broken necklace from the ground, and it turned into a magic lasso. She dodged Angelica’s attack as the lasso wrapped around angelicas neck, forming a new chain. Angelica's wolf form contorted, and her joints shifted and cracked as she turned from wolf to girl. Her pale skin was covered in Jack's blood as it dripped down her naked body. Astra kneele

Astra and Angelica exited popped out the portal from the house.Astra took in a deep breath and sighed, “It’s good to be home.”“You lived here?” Angelica made a face as Astra gave her a sideways look. “This place is… nice.”“Yes, this is my cottage. I lived here a long time before leaving to protect the two of you.” Astra said as she waved her hand to unlock the door. “The place is a little dusty but still intake.” She sapped her finger, and the dust sucked into an invisible vacuum. “We will be safe here. There is a protection

    Angelica’s heart pounded in her chest as her four legs ran under her. Her fur became one with the wind as she raced through the trees. She had never felt so free before in her life. The ground quacked under her as she ran under the thick canopy of pine branches. She was free. “Angelica,” Astra shook her awake. “Angelica, wake up!” Astra sook her harder. “What?” Angelica was groggy and confused as to why Astra was shaking her. She went to rub her eyes, but Astra grabbed her hand before she could. “Angelica, look at your hands.” She looked down, even more, confused to see mud on her hands. “Why am I covered in mud?” Angelica was beyond confused. “You turned into a wolf last night and went for a run. You don’t remember?” “I had a dream I was running in the forest,” Angelica recalled the vivid dream. “It felt real.” “Well, it wasn’t a dream; you’re naked and covered in mud,” Astra said as she scratched the back of he

    “I know it is here; where are you?” Astra stood in her library searching for a particular book. She searched the shelves till she saw it. “There you are.” “I found it!” Astra called as she read the pages. “Ok, so there is a problem.” Astra wasn’t sure how to explain this to a newbie. “Alister’s mausoleum has a blood seal on it.” “Meaning…” “Only a relative of the caster can open the seal,” Astra said as she snapped the book shut and placed it back on the shelf. “That complicates things. Is there a way to figure out who placed the seal?” Angelica asked, trying to come up with a solution. “My contacts might know who placed it. They should be arriving after sunset.” Astra said as she pinched the bridge of her nose. “Say they do know who placed the seal; how do we find one of their relatives?” Angelica asked, not sure how that would be possible. “I haven’t thought that far yet. Go practice till they get here.” Astra

    They held each other for a long time. It had been nearly two decades since they were together. Shayla assumed her love was dead but here he stood with their daughter. She broke their embrace to look her daughter over. “Are you okay?” Shalya asked as she held her arm's length away. “Nothing broken or missing?” “Mom I am fine it's you I am worried about.” Angelica said as she looked at the gash on her shoulder. It was slowly healing. “I will heal in no time but you; I have been worried about.” Shayla said as she cupped her daughter's face. “How did you escape?” Astrid asked as she handed her a glass of water. “Stephan is now the big boss. I played on his emotions and knocked the guard out who was taking me to him. Dumb ass.” Shayla said before emptying the glass. “You think he would get the hint that I will never want him.” “Well, he wormed his way up into the chain of command. He is such a tool.” Deon said as he ran his h

She was a slim blonde with lags that could kill a man if she wished. Her lips and eyes screamed for him to kiss her, but her voice spoke the words ‘yes sir’ instead. “Did I not call for Shayla to be brought to me an hour ago?” Stephan asked, frustrated. “Yes, sir, I called the guard, and he said he was on his way.” She spoke, looking into his eyes. “Well, where is she?” I will call the guard and see what the hold-up is.” She said before going back to her desk. A moment later, she came back with his answer. “the guard on duty said his partner left with her an hour ago. I tried to contact his partner, but he did not answer.” “What?! We have a security breach. Find her! Call at the guards and have them search the compound.” Stephan ordered as he realized

  • Prophecy of the Crescent Moon   Chapter Fourteen: The Escape

    ShaylaThe day passed, trapped in the room; she was sealed in by magic she could not break. She tried everything she could think of to break the seal; nothing worked. Her stomach began to make noises as she became aware of her hunger. The door's lock clicked before the door opened; a maid pushed a cart into the room."The Master has sent you some super, miss." She said as she removed the lid to the tray. "Beef stew with potatoes, and I have some soda." Before Shayla could say anything, the maid walked out of the room. The food called to her hungry stomach; she lost the battle of wills and ate the food. It didn't taste weird, so no poison or potions.She stared at the door, thinking of a way to get the door open without burning her hand. The shifter silver would burn her hand through any fabric she used. Her magic would not work; the seal on the room would prevent her from using her magic. The door would need to be opened from the other side. But how was she supp

    *DAYS BEFORE*“Astra, she’s gone!” Shayla screamed as she ran downstairs.“What are you talking about?” Astra asked, confused.“She ran off with someone named Jack.”“Give me that.” Astra took the letter and balled it up and rolled it in her hand. Sparks began to fly as she pulled her hands apart. “Shit!”Shayla and Astra read the letter in shock. “I told you to tell her!” Astra said as she threw her hands in the air as if to say, ‘I told you so.’Shayla started to cry from frustration. “I didn’t think she was not ready to know. Her world would change, and she would never forgive me.”“Her world is already changing; she is not a baby anymore, Shy.” Astra said as she threw on her bag. “Now I have to go after her before he hurts her. Stay safe till I get back.”“Just make sure she is safe.&rdqu

    Astra needed to move fast and quickly for her mission to succeed. She opened a time-lapse portal to the blood bank and moved quickly. “I can do this….” Astra said to herself as she ran through the portal. She emerged in the storeroom. Blood was hanging in the chilled room behind glass cabinets. She looked up to check for any cameras filming her and found none. “Who leaves blood with no surveillance?”“Well, that isn’t a problem when you have magic.” She said to no one in particular, seeing as she was alone. She planed her index finger on the hole to unlock it with a zap. The cabinet doors released as she lifted her finger from the keyhole. She took blood bags from each section to make it look like none were missing. “Okay, that should be enough for a week or two.” She said as she counted the twenty blood bags as she put them in her backpack. Once the cabinet was locked, she made her leave through the portal.

    Angelica The wolf stared at me with knowing eyes as I sat there frozen. When I moved, she moved, and I realized she was me and wouldn’t hurt me. “Devon said I should name you, but I think you already have one. What is your name?” I asked her as I tilted my head. ‘You may call Regin.” She spoke telepathically. I was brought back when I was six years old with a stuffed dog I called Regin. “I named you years ago; I just didn’t know it at the time.” I laughed as I remembered how I dragged that thing everywhere. I was heartbroken when mom left it behind in her panicked dashes to a new home. I understand her rush now, but I was so mad when she left it. It seems so silly now. I miss my mom. ‘I have always been with you.’ Regin said as she blinked. “Why do you come out when I sleep?” I asked, needing to be answered. ‘I was trapped for nearly two decades. I need to run free.’ Regin said as she laid down. ‘When you sleep, the barrier falls, and I can run free.’ “What if we have schedule

    Aleister looked to Angelica with love and relief in his eyes. “Thank the Gods you are alive.” He almost sounded like he was about to cry. “Where is your mother?” He looked around at the faces surrounding him.“Her family has her, unfortunately; But we are going to get her back.” Astra answered his question.“Is she okay?” He asked panicked. “If they hurt her, I will tear them apart.”“She is fine; last I checked, they want her alive till they get Angelica.” Astra answered, trying to calm him down.“Why wait to rescue her?” Aleister questioned as he climbed out of the Coffin.“One Angelica is not ready to fight; she is our best chance to survive a horde of werewolves. Two, we had to save you first. You have been in here for too long as it is.” Astra said as she counted on her fingers the reasons Shayla was still in the clutches of her family
