“You have to talk to him eventually Rosalie.” I scoff at Nina’s statement. “You’re telling me that you have forgiven him so quickly? There was me thinking that wolves were territorial.” I replied, testily.“That’s exactly why you need to talk to him, to figure out why he lied to us. Why he kept Steph such a secret.”We had been in the air for nearly ten hours now, and with each passing hour, the longer we sat on this flight the more uncomfortable I grew.A thirteen hour flight was long enough with someone you wanted to be sat next too. But it was even longer with someone that you absolutely didn’t. And at this moment in time, I absolutely didn’t.That, on top of the fact that we had been in the air most of the day, and had yet to make contact with Drake and the others was beginning to gnaw at me.Did they manage to get away from Tenebris? Was everyone OK?Nina was right about one thing, I did need to talk to Landon… eventually. But not about his secret relationship with my best frien

Rosalie “I mean it Rosalie. You don’t have to believe me. In fact, I truly understand why you don’t. But I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you.”I didn’t respond to this; I just kept my steady gaze on the horizon. My arms folded around my torso, doing my best to hold myself together.“Steph and I, it was never really meant to become anything more than just… companionship. We were lonely. Both of us. When Steph lost her mate, she didn’t think she would be with a man ever again. And then when I lost you…” His words trailed off for a moment, he seemed to be struggling to find a way to put his feelings into something that I might understand. I knew that if I were to look at him now, I would see the ghosts of tears swimming behind his eyes. And I couldn’t bear to see that.“Steph was the only one left who never gave up looking Rosie. She was the only one I could confide in. The only one that truly understood what it felt like when you disappeared. So yes, eventually those feelings turned

Rosalie Cody was just as I remembered it. It was pitch black outside, and even with the lights from the airport, and street lights dotted about and hard to see past a couple of feet in front of us, I could still tell that not much was different. Thousands of stars glinted above us. And it was like they were welcoming me home with an open embrace. I had given up hope a long time ago that I would ever find myself back in my homeland. Much less, so close to my home pack. Blood moon was merely a few hours drive away. It was so close, I could almost taste the ancient forests on the tip of my tongue. It was tantalising to say the least. The thought of just going back. But I knew I couldn’t. Not if I had any hope of ever leaving again. The temperature was lower than it had been leaving England. Spring was still a distant dream waiting around the corner here. I pulled my thick jacket out of my bag and wrap it around myself in a feeble attempt to warm up. Standing outside the airport, L
Return of the Luna Queen LXII
Landon This was perhaps one of the hardest things that I have ever had to watch.I had lost my own parents at quite a young age. Jo and Richard were the only real adult role models that I had in my life. But I knew that if I were to ever get to see my parents again. Get to hear their voices. Feel their arms come around me and draw me in for a hug, I knew that I would feel very much as Rosalie did in this moment.The tears rolled down her face as she spoke. And as she recanted everything that had happened to her in last years to her older brother, I could see the fear, the grief the joy all roll into one.This would probably be the hardest conversation that she would have to have out of everyone that she had left behind here. And after listening for a few minutes, I decided that it was a conversation best left for to have in private.It wasn’t like I hadn’t heard the story before.And even after hearing it as many times as I had, and in some cases having to retell her tale myself, it
Return of the Luna Queen LXIII
Rosalie Several hours later, we found ourselves pulling up a long, gated driveway. Trees, even more ancient than the ones found surrounding the Eclipse Pack, towered above us, casting the gravel path ahead into gloomy shadows. The sun, as far as we could tell, was just beginning to peek over the horizon. The angry red glow of dawn making the lower forest line light up in a blaze of colour.At the end of the drive, was a large wooden lodge sprawled out before us.It stood in darkness indicating that we were the first ones to arrive. “Geesh” Landon whistled under his breath. “I though you said this was a safe house? Its bigger than the pack house back home.”My cheeks flooded red at his observation.“Well, the packs here are a little bit bigger than in England. Each pack covers a lot more ground and are fewer between so makes it easier to roam and spread out. A safe house is there to ensure that it can accommodate everyone comfortably. Even this once is considered small for us.”Lan
Return of the Luna Queen LXIV
RosalieClosing the creaky, heavy wooden door, I find myself sagging against the hard wood in relief. It had felt like an age since I was in my own company. The reprieve to not have the expectation of answering endless questions, to try and figure out feelings that I didn’t want nor had time to delve into, it was like a giant weight had been lifted from my soul. And all I could hear… was silence.Nothing at all made a noise. It was just endless silence. And it was bliss. The room, my room as Jace called it, had barely changed since the last time I was here. He calls it my room. Realistically it wasn’t. There was nothing in the sparsely decorated wooden cabin that remotely belonged to me or could be called “mine”. However, it was the room I had stayed in briefly during the few summer visits we had here when we were children.The cabin itself remained unoccupied for years at a time. The only people that ever came into the property were the cleaners once every few weeks just to make sur

Rosalie This kiss intensified. And even when I found myself drawing back for breath, my lips continue their perusal over Landon’s heated skin, starting at his jaw and following a path down his strong neck. “Rosie.” He moans into my ear. It was enough to spur me on. He was enjoying this as much as I was. It felt amazing to just finally relinquish control and allow my instinct to take over. And I found myself wanting more. My kisses were slowing becoming more frenzied. And the core of my desire, burned for more. Obviously struggling to hold my wiggling body, Landon adjusts his position. Swinging me, so that I was straddling his waist, my bottom propped up on the vanity side unit. With this came a new type of contact, and it was enough to drive me wild. I could hear the involuntary growl coming from my chest at the contact. His hard, completely bare cock, pressed up against my opening. Only separated by the thin material of my panties. Landon seemed to look down at me in wonder as
Return of the Luna Queen LXVI
Rosalie The sun was breaking through the canopy of trees above me, glaring to the eye. Reaching out my hand I shield my face from the rays. Looking around myself in confusion as to how I even ended up here. I was perched on the edge of a vast lake. In the distance a waterfall cascades over a cliff face, splashing into the water below causing the lake to have a constant ripple effect. It was incredibly picturesque. The water frothing on the rocks below, the lush greenery that trickled down the cliff face and surrounding area. It was like a painting. A very beautiful, living, painting. I remembered this place all too well. It had been a favourite spot of mine and Jace’s for wild swimming. Secluded and quiet. I sat an listened for a happy moment to the sound of the water falling into the lake below, and the few birds playing in the trees. Closing my eyes and soaking up the sun. The only other being present to share the spot with were a tranquil group of deer, who stood by the waters
