* Harry felt his heart pounding in his chest. In his mind, he could hear the heartbreaking howls of his wolf, thanking the Moon Goddess. He would never be alone again. He had never dared to speak of it, but often he thought with anguish of what might happen to him if the lunar madness took hold of him. Would he be as strong as the Mad One? Or would he be hunted down and shot by order of the Council? The question did not even arise. He had neither the power nor the authority of the Mad One, and he would have been slaughtered without a second thought the day his lunacy got out of control. _ She is beautiful, Harry! Hurry up! Get closer to Mate. Mate is waiting for us," Till cried admiringly. Harry swallowed hard and took a step forward. He felt as if he were waRelated chapters
Red Moon 11-4:dance with me
They were now just two motionless bodies amid the bustle of the enamored couple. Harry leaned his head toward her to fill his lungs and heart with the heady scent of vanilla. They slowly began to follow the rhythm of the music, their bodies moving harmoniously as if they had always danced together. Emmanuelle had kept her eyes closed. She knew the horrible truth that he would see in her eyes the moment she opened them. Her beloved would see only the blackness and darkness of her blood. She ran her fingers through her hair and sighed when she felt the tongue of her soul mate come to caress the junction between her neck and her shoulder, where the wolves put their mark. She shivered violently as she felt the tips of his canines scratch her alabaster skin. Her own fangs came down, coated with the venom that would mark this wolf as her beloved. She bitterly admitted to herself how happy she was with the growing crowd of

Screams from another alley turned both of their heads."Damn it," Emmanuelle swore when she realized that it was the one where her booth was located. She turned quickly to join Bianca, but Harry grabbed her by the elbow."Mate," he growled again.The vampire's heart began to waver, and she gave him a beaming smile. So he wasn't rejecting her, and her beloved seemed to accept her true nature."I have to hurry. My best friend is over there, and she's human," she explained as she raised her forearm to grab her beloved's elbow in turn. She moved forward, letting her hand slide from the elbow to the werewolf's hand._Mate doesn't push us away. Mate wants to keep her skin in contact with ours," Till said admiringly.Harry gritted his teeth. He was dissatisfied with the way she held his hand like a child and hurried to interlock their fingers. Then he let her lead him, watching in wonder as his future Luna led him wherever she wanted.Both of them were sli

Emmanuelle was startled.When the blood of her beloved had touched her tongue, she suddenly returned to her senses. The black veil covering her eyes had immediately dissipated to reveal the blue of her irises.Harry held her firmly against him.She let out a sigh of satisfaction at the domination that her beloved exerted over her. Then, she quickly passed her hands through his hair and pulled him against her body. She began to nibble his lower lip, causing, without meaning to, soft purrs in the throat of the wolf."Mate," Harry growled as he tried to pull his head back.But, it was impossible for him. His soul mate had clamped her fingers tightly on his hair, preventing him from moving.He gradually felt the torn skin on his lip regenerates with the power of his wolf._Ah-whoooo! If Mate had been a wolf, she would have been an Alpha female," Till barked happily.A shiver ran down Harry's spine as he felt his soul mate's canines pierce his lower lip ag

Emmanuelle recoiled violently. She was now terrified, not because her beloved was of an enemy race, but because the partner the Council had chosen to send her was the executioner called to put to death vampires who had committed crimes. She was aware of the obstacles they would have to overcome. A chill ran down her spine as she thought about when she would have to tell Augustine.Harry didn't let her pull away from him, and he held his Mate's hands firmly in his own."We need to talk," he suddenly announced, now serious, given the situation's urgency.Emmanuelle was completely tetanized. Her glance alternated from her beloved's hands to his eyes:"You are right. We need to talk."Harry breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified she would reject him on the spot. In his mind's eye, he could see his wolf lying on the ground.Till tried to hide his eyes under his paws._It was already complicated before when Mate and I understood what we really were. But no

One of Father Francis' nephews came to guide the couple toward the back room."I'm surprised my uncle let you through, Manu," he said, giving the vampire a friendly smile."Don't mention it to me. I would have preferred that he wasn't here tonight. That would have avoided me a lot of unpleasantness." Emmanuelle immediately fell silent and looked at Harry with a surprised look.The young Alpha had just put his arm around her waist, and he was staring at this stranger who dared to smile at his Mate."Does he even know you are mine?" growled Harry to Emmanuelle without taking his eyes off the young man.Father Francis' nephew dramatically rolled his eyes and pressed a wooden board into the wall.Immediately, a sliding door, previously unseen, appeared and cleared a space for Harry and Emmanuelle to pass through."I swear, I don't get paid enough for this crap! Good thing it's not Valentine's Day, or I'd have been puking somewhere. I am so disgusted with thes

Emmanuelle looked down, then sighed deeply."Mate," Harry whispered in a barely audible voice.She didn't dare to look at him. Her conflicting thoughts prevented her from thinking straight. Still not daring to look at him, she slid down until her knees touched Harry's feet.They didn't need to exchange a word.Harry spread his legs to create space for her, and Emmanuelle slid forward again to snuggle against him.Harry wrapped his arms around her and leaned in to take deep breaths into his soul mate's neck.Emmanuelle slowly lifted her head and placed her hands on Harry's arms."What did I do wrong to provoke your wolf, beloved?" she asked, now searching his eyes.Harry looked down.He could hear Till crying, aware of the crime he had almost committed moments earlier."You didn't do anything wrong, Mate. I am responsible for what happened. I thought I could control my wolf under any circumstances. It turns out that I was sorely mistaken. I rea

Emmanuelle's eyes widened as she felt him harden against her crotch. She turned her head, looking in a direction opposite Harry's."I think we have a dilemma, beloved," she murmured, not daring to look at him.Harry simply nodded. Then he pulled his hands away from his Mate's body and placed them on either side of her waist."I... I apologize," he began."Do not excuse you. I'm not blameless in this situation either," Emmanuelle laughed softly.Harry immediately turned his head to look at her in wonder._Mate just laughed. Mate just laughed for us. Mate is beautiful, and Mate should laugh all the time. Mate's laughter is beautiful...," said Till. The animal part of the Red Moon Alpha seemed unable to stop talking now.Harry had to put up walls in his mind to keep his wolf from spoiling this private moment with distracting thoughts.She glared at him, then shrugged unconsciously when she saw the adoration in the young Alpha's emerald eyes.Harry let out a deep sigh, relieved to find ca

"Excuse me?" asked outraged Harry, who made a violent movement of recoil. He dragged himself off a few centimeters backward and rose fast.Emmanuelle retained from now on the top of her blouse. She observed Harry in astonishment to see him react like that.Harry spun around as the growls of his wolf echoed off the cold stone walls of the room.Emmanuelle hadn't moved a muscle. Through their bond, she could feel the anger and sadness that filled her beloved's mind:"Did I say something wrong?" she asked in a whisper.Harry immediately stopped moving and turned his head sharply to the side to look at her. His shoulders heaved in a jerky rhythm, evidence of the rage that was building inside him:"A rutting beast? Is that how you see me?" asked Harry coldly.Emmanuelle dared not support his glance and lowered her eyes to the ground. Unknowingly, she had assumed a submissive position in front of the Alpha, and this brought Harry to his senses:"Isn't that how werewolves copulate?" she imme

Red Moon 51-1: I am here
The vampires stiffened at the mention of Emmanuelle's beloved's first name. The young blonde woman had burst into tears again, closely followed by Bianca. Augustin looked back curtly as he saw a blood maid standing in the doorway. She shyly held in her hands a square black wooden tray on which rested a box of tissues as well as a carafe of water and crystal glasses. Typically, the ancient vampire would never have tolerated such an intrusion into his family sphere. However, he had to admit that the gesture was thoughtful, and the two women in front of him were particularly boisterous. "Thank you," he said to the servant, and she disappeared as quickly as she had come. "Does Ari even know?" asked Bianca. Emmanuelle was at a loss for words and shook her head to say no. She rose from her rocking chair. "Damn, when I thought I'd said as a joke that you could take nine months to make a baby! If I could do that with the lottery numbers, it would make my life so much easier," Bianca
Red Moon 50-2: six months
Emmanuelle, diligently knitting a child's bonnet, was startled. She was sitting on a rocking chair, enjoying the cool morning air and the song of the cicadas. She was stunned to see Bianca in the doorway.How could this be? She should have heard, even smelled, Bianca coming.The young brunette woman had rushed headlong towards her best friend, staring at her from head to toe.Emmanuelle gently placed her red woolen book on the oak coffee table beside her. But she remained silent.Of course, this moment would come sooner or later. But Emmanuelle had hoped to delay it as long as possible for fear of Bianca's reaction.Emmanuelle was still thinking about her best friend's lecture on contraception. But how could she have known then that she was actually able to get pregnant without a complete bond?Augustin's hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. Obviously, the former vampire had done this on purpose. It would have been inconce
Red Moon 50-1: six months
"Ouch!" Augustin had unintentionally crashed into someone while carrying several cartons of paper. It was when he'd backed up, and especially thinking he was alone in the office, that the accident had happened. The ancient vampire froze, then quickly turned his head towards the person. He was surprised to see Bianca rubbing her nose. The young woman had come in and tried to cover her eyes to play a trick on him. On the other hand, she had made a maneuvering error, and his best friend's father had moved much faster than expected. He was completely stunned. It was the first time in his long immortal life that a living being had been able to approach him without him being able to detect its presence. He squinted for a moment, searching for some hidden power within Bianca, but nothing. The young woman's heart was beating normally. Her big, caramel-colored eyes had that human life and light in them. And it was only after a draught of air entered the room that Augustin could smell the s
Red Moon 49-2: get yourself together
Before Harry knew what was happening, he was back in human form. He soon found himself lying on his side, in a gun-dog position.His breathing was ragged from the rapid, forced metamorphosis imposed by the Mad One's order, while a sense of emptiness gradually invaded his mind.Memories flooded back like a burst dam, and he felt a lump in his throat.However, he didn't have time to react as Black threw a pair of black gym shorts at him.It was Wayne who'd been in charge of quickly fetching clothes the second he'd seen the Mad One revert to human form."Stand up," Black ordered once he was clothed himself.Harry had struggled to his feet and dressed himself, keeping his head down. His body had begun to shake as memories returned more clearly, and he managed to organize his thoughts.The young Red Moon Alpha had to clear his throat again and blink rapidly to chase away the emotion gripping his heart.When he
Red Moon 49-1: get yourself together
The red wolf trembled from head to toe as the black wolf circled him. The disapproving growls of this fantastic beast with glowing red eyes left no doubt as to what it thought of Harry. Why did we swear to protect him?" growled the black wolf to his human counterpart. "Because he's alone," Black replied coldly, without trying to say anything more. He already knew what Harry's wolf was thinking, and he suspected perfectly well what would happen next. _He's not alone! He's got a Mate!" barked the black wolf, still showing his fangs in his mind, but also to the two trembling Alphas in front of him. Black merely sighed. His wolf was as stubborn as he was, and he knew perfectly well that his wolf would still go after Harry no matter what he said. And this wasn't even for valid reasons, but simply because he was jealous that the red wolf had been rewarded with a soulmate before him. "He's alone," Black repeated. The black wolf's growl had grown even m
Red Moon 48-2: Get up
Harry had seen Alpha Black's face gradually take on the appearance of a wolf with fur as black as a moonless night. This should never have frightened him so much. However, what should have been a commonplace occurrence in a werewolf's daily life had turned into a horror movie for the young man. Had it been any other wolf, Harry wouldn't have cared a lick about it. Yet he never thought he'd have to deal with the Alpha Black wolf himself. During their training sessions, the Mad One had always made sure he had the upper hand over his animal side for fear that his wolf would try to hurt the young man. Now, for the first time in his life, Harry found himself face to face with the great black wolf. The fear he felt was so great that he felt as if everything frightening he'd experienced up to now had been a walk in the park. The Mad One's bones had cracked in transformation, while his skin was covered in a long coat as black as night. A menacing growl arose, amplified by the spherical sh
Red Moon 48-1: get up
Harry was now sprawled on his back. His arms stretched out crosswise to his sides. His nose was bleeding from the kick he'd received in the face, and he had to cough to get rid of the blood filling his throat. The young redhead let out a pained groan as Alpha Black lifted him by the hair. Harry's usually well-groomed brush cut had grown long enough for the Mad one to grab it quickly. Alpha Black lifted Harry so that he was at eye level and stared at the young man in front of him. He wanted to see Harry's healing speed and was shocked at how slowly his wolf's power was working. This confirmed that the red wolf was dormant, and Black knew he had to act quickly if Harry's animal side was not to sink too deep inside him. The Mad One knew perfectly well what it felt like to be deprived of his animal part. He couldn't even tell the last time he'd been able to talk to his own wolf. Despite Black's pleas, the animal remained walled in silence, communicating only by growling. Despite his
Red Moon 47-2: deal with it
Witnesses who had seen the scene had tried to follow them, at first squealing with delight. They all felt happy and reassured to see their Alpha fit enough to go out. However, when they finally became aware of their pack leader's posture, they finally realized that something was wrong. Worse still, they had begun to cry out in horror at the sight of the Mad One heading straight for the arena. The Red Moon pack's telepathic link had been flooded with warning messages and cries for help. Beta Connor, who had spent the day organizing meetings with other packs, had lost his balance and abandoned whatever he was doing to rush out. The pack's collective panic had prevented him from thinking calmly, and his body was now only acting automatically. He had shouted to the soldiers and guards positioned at the borders of the pack's territory to join him as quickly as possible. Alpha Black tossed Harry's body without a moment's hesitation. He remained completely indifferent to the growing crow
Red Moon 47-1: deal with it
Harry slowly opened his eyes. He had to blink several times to adjust his vision to the blinding brightness of the room. The young Red Moon Alpha had no idea where he was or what he was doing there. He took a few deep breaths and recognized the aseptic smell of disinfectant so characteristic of hospitals. Then, at last, the sound of machines reached his ears, and he became aware of the plastic tubes to which his body was connected. "Till?" whispered Harry. He couldn't understand why he was in a hospital bed or why his wolf's power hadn't been enough to heal him. It wasn't right that he should be placed in a condition where he had to be bedridden. Nervous spasms moved his facial muscles as he gradually became aware of his wolf's silence. Alone. A feeling of anguish gripped the young Alpha's heart as that single word echoed in his mind. He was alone again and unable to contact Till. But he had something else. So it wasn't just Till's lack of response that paralyzed the young Alpha
