Augustine massaged his temples with his fingertips. He glanced at the elf standing not far from him.The elf, a beautiful silver-haired creature, bowed when he saw the former vampire's interest in him.Augustine straightened up and pulled twice on his long black cloak. He approached the elf with a determined step and smiled at him in a distinguished manner."Good morning, cher ami (dear friend*)," greeted Augustine."Venerable elder," the elf greeted in turn, placing a hand on his heart and bowing."Allow me to interrupt you while your minds are occupied with the dwarven rebellion, but..." Augustine began before seeing, out of the corner of his eye, on one of the surveillance screens, a dwarf setting fire to a doll in the shape of an elf. "Is it possible to access the Vermilion Bird's domain from here?"The elf contemplated the vampire for a moment. His long, pointed ears bobbed up and down, showing how intrigued he was by the question from this high representative of the races."We c

Emmanuelle returned to the kitchen, where she found Harry appetizingly finishing the meat cooked by Bianca. She sat across from him and began picking up the file on top of the pile."Any urgent business to attend to?" asked Harry._ No... not at all, Harry. It is a shopping list," Till replied wryly in the young man's mind. Of course, it's urgent work! Can you not ask our Mate stupid questions? She might think we are silly.Emmanuelle laughed softly when she saw Harry's scowl."Yes. These are purchase orders and lists to check...but why the long face, my beloved?" she asked.Harry let out a sigh as he slumped against the back of his chair."My wolf just lectured me. I apologize if you thought my question was stupid. I was just trying to make conversation," Harry replied, looking up. The last part was actually directed at his wolf more than his soul mate.Emmanuelle nodded an amused smile still on her lips."I understand," she replied patiently. "And you can ask me all the questions th

Emmanuelle merely raised an eyebrow. A small laugh left her lips, and she shook her head in denial. "I assure you that I am feeding myself properly..." she began. Harry immediately pressed his forehead against hers. Till's grunts of displeasure were rising in the now silent kitchen."You are starving yourself," Harry cut in. He placed a hand on her cheek and let his thumb draw circles on her alabaster skin. "You've been starving yourself for centuries," he said. Emmanuelle closed her eyes before her laughter became louder. She put her hands on Harry's cheeks, then kissed his lips tenderly. "That is correct, my beloved. Centuries of discipline and fierce motivation not to give in to my vampiric side. I know what I am doing, and I know my limits. So you can rest easy. I know my limits perfectly," Emmanuelle said to reassure Harry. Harry suddenly picked her up and carried her in his arms. She had to put her hands on his shoulders as he carried her high. She could see the concern i

Emmanuelle finally freed Harry's neck from the grip of her jaw. She licked the precious drops left on her beloved's skin with an almost religious fervor."Have you had enough, Elle?" whispered Harry while kissing Emmanuelle's temple tenderly.She nodded and ran her tongue over her lips again. She couldn't hold back and sighed with satisfaction when she could taste another drop of orphan blood on her tongue. She could feel an extraordinary power running through her veins. She had never felt so strong and so at peace with herself.Emmanuelle despised vampiric barbarism and bloodshed. Thus, she had to exercise iron discipline to reach a level where she barely fed on blood bags in case of ultimate necessity. But even though she tried to be human in her behavior, she knew that she was just a monster among sheep.Moreover, she had once confided to Augustine that the reason she refused to drink directly from the human's body was that she found it vulgar and outdated. Furthermore, she ar
Last Updated : 2023-04-21Red Moon 27-1: unnatural
The three unknown vampires standing before them gave off a strong smell of blood and decay.Harry had to make a monstrous effort not to show the gagging in his throat. He cursed his wolf senses, which had overdeveloped his olfactory system.On the other hand, Emmanuelle kept her hand clasped in Harry's and was looking emotionlessly at her compatriots, who were watching her in contempt."Traitor. Bitch. Unnatural. Shame" were the words that reached her ears as the lurkers approached them.A dull growl rose from the Alpha's throat. He had heard the intruders' words but did not understand their meaning. It wasn't until he grabbed the artifact that High Priestess Allegra had given him that he understood the words spoken against his Mate. A dull and unspeakable rage was now monopolizing his mind. However, he was surprised by the peaceful neutrality his soul mate exuded through their bond.Harry could stay calm by her only because Emmanuelle remained serene and unruffled. If it weren'

Harry remained perfectly still.Only the slight pressure he exerted against Emmanuelle's hand proved the discomfort he felt._Hey, pst, how are we going to interrogate them?" asked Till, resting a paw against his nose."That's what the artifact Allegra gave us is for," Harry replied to his wolf.Till seemed to perk up and gave a puzzled growl._ What if this thing doesn't work right?" Till complained."As long as Marguerite and Ambroise are not hanging around, we should be fine," Harry said, taking a deep breath. He wanted to make sure he didn't catch the wet earth smell of the dwarves.Till nodded his head sharply._ OKAY. We should be good. No dwarves in our scent perimeter.The Red Moon Alpha put his hands in his pockets and took the opportunity to clutch the artifact in one hand. He took a step forward so that his Mate was behind him.Emmanuelle crossed her arms over her chest and waited without saying anything. However, she ran her tongue over her teeth again, but for a comp

Emmanuelle was perplexed by the way things had snowballed. Everything was senseless and out of proportion. None of this should have happened, not on her watch, and her honor as a noble vampire was at stake. For one, she was known as a pacifist and hailed as a talented diplomat. She was taught and able to reason with any creature, especially vampires. Two, her beloved's transformation had been so quick and unexpected that she was now unable to keep a cool head. The presence of the wolf meant only one thing: confrontation. She and Augustine worked hard to keep the already thin thread of understanding between their two species within the bounds of cordiality. Despite her natural confidence, Augustine had repeatedly warned her. "It is good to remain extremely vigilant when men are involved, clan girl of mine. When I say men, I mean males, of course. There is nothing in this world more stupid and inconsistent than males with bruised egos. A scorned honor is only important if

Emmanuelle's voice died in her throat. She saw the colossal wolf revert to human form just as the vampire's sharp fingernails had come dangerously close to Harry.The morbid sound of bones quickly snapping back into place surprised all the vampires still alive.A loud crack sounded, followed by Emmanuelle's scream of terror. She had leaped forward, giving a powerful impulse into the tree trunk. The force used was so strong that she ended up breaking the wood so that she could quickly get closer to her beloved and, thus, protect him. Emmanuelle felt chills run through her body as she found herself pressed against the Alpha's bare chest.Harry held her against him with one hand, and with the other, he crushed the vampire's throat between his claws.Emmanuelle met the wolf's warm gaze and felt instantly reassured. Tender purrs vibrated in his chest, giving her skin tender caresses.Harry buried his face in his Mate's neck and took a deep breath, seeking to reassure his wolf.Emman

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
