Red Moon 25-2: on hold
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
Red Moon 26-1: my responsibility
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
Red Moon 26-2: my responsibility
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
Red 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'
Red Moon 27-2 : unnatural
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
Red Moon 28-1: high nobility
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
Red Moon 28-2: high nobility
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
Red Moon 29-1: négociations
Emmanuelle walked furiously towards her house. She was horrified by what had happened. Dark thoughts filled her mind and froze her heart.Her beloved was following her at a distance of ten steps under the order she had given him. Harry's mind was entirely focused on her.She still shivered as she thought of Harry's cold, murderous stare. There had been no spark of warmth when she had confronted him. Moreover, he had only looked at her and had not even spoken a word when she had forbidden him to touch her.Emmanuelle knew that it was his wolf who had acted on impulse. But by the way her beloved had looked at her, she realized that he had no regrets.Harry was following her, his mind in perfect sync with his wolf at the moment. She had ordered him to stay back, very good. He did not want to touch her right now either because he could feel what his Mate thought of him through their bond. She tried to make him feel guilty when he felt he had done the right thing. He felt absolutely
