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

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

Rosalie Jace wasn’t really too sure how to respond to my story. His eyes constantly flickering to his mate in the hopes that she might make sense of my nonsense. But they both remained silent. Their eyes ever staring, there posture slightly inclined away as if they might catch the madness that seemed to dwell within me. “It’s true.” Landon added. “I have seen the demon for myself.” His words did go someway in reassuring my brother. Which irked me ever so slightly. He was, after all, my brother. Shouldn’t he trust me above someone that was practically a stranger too him. Whatever had happened whilst I was away, had meant that they were now bonded my something more than kinship. There seemed to be a respect between the two. Maddie, who had often been rumoured to have some unnatural skill about her. She wasn’t a witch as such, and she certainly didn’t flaunt any gift she had freely. But she knew things about people that she had no business in knowing. She was able to tell the sick fro

Rosalie“What the hell have we done.” I curse out, throwing off the blanket wrapped around me and began pacing back and forth. “I didn’t even hear the car pull up. We should have told her before anything happened. Now I have broken her heart and it’s my fault.” The words spilled out of my mouth, barely catching a breath as I rambled.“This isn’t your fault, Rosie. It’s on me. I should have been honest with her from the starts.” His attempts to try and placate me only made my temper rise higher, and the guilt in my gut boil over.“Yes, you should.” I turn on him, my anger only increasing. “You should have been honest with us both. But I should never have allowed myself to fall for your spell. I let you in and I shouldn’t have, it was wrong of me. And now my best friend has run off into the woods! Alone.”“Rosie, this isn’t on you.” He tried again, this time attempting to pull me into his arms.“No!” I step back away from him, distraught that he would even attempt to come to me right no
Return of the Luna Queen LXIX
Landon “I didn’t intend for you to find out this way, Steph. But, for what it is worth, I am sorry that you did. No one deserves to find out this way.” I felt wretched. Not only about Steph and how she walked in on Rosalie and myself, but also because my conversation with Rosalie had not gone as I had hoped. It was true. I had been thinking about moving to the Blood Moon pack prior to Steph’s appearance. And I had believed that she would welcome the opportunity with open arms. I could see in her face, the way she watched her brother and his children playing and laughing, she wanted to be with them. I knew I wasn’t mistaken about that. But then, perhaps it was my timing that was off. I should have waited for everything else to have blown over to broach the subject. I didn’t take a genius to see that she was still wrestling with her inner self. It had only been a few short weeks since her whole life had been turned upside down as she knew it. And now I was posing the idea of her upro

RosalieSeeing Steph looking so desolate broke my heart even more than it was already broken. She looked completely crushed. Her normally bubbly and self-confident demeanour gone. Even through the dark shades that she used to cover her face, I could see clearly that she had gotten little sleep, and most likely had spent a good chunk of the evening crying.I wanted to go over and speak to her. But the moment I stepped into her direction, she turned her back and stalked away refusing to even meet my gaze. Making it clear that she was not yet ready to talk to me.On top of it all. It was time to say goodbye to Jace, again. Something that I had wished to avoid.For a brief moment in time, I had thought that staying would perhaps be the easier thing to do. That I could see myself happy, settling down with my family once more. Perhaps even with Landon at my side. But by now, any hope of that future had been crushed. I was even more resolved to go back to Alexander and the children. No mat
Return of the Luna Queen LXXI
RosalieThe road to the coven didn’t get any brighter.It was no longer passable by car. So the four of us found ourselves continuing on by foot.The path became narrower. The trees grew thicker. Shrubs and twigs snagged at our clothes and hair as we passed. But by far the worst part of the this whole encounter, was the lack of life around up. It reminded me so much of wondering into the gods woods after my meeting with Morag, that I was beginning to suffer with flash backs.Lack of life meant one of two things. Firstly, that the creatures that had been living in these ancient lands had been culled for sacrifice. Or secondly, that the living believed this place far too dangerous to inhabit.Either way, it didn’t make my uneasiness any the easier.When we did eventually wondering into civilisation, we were met with just as much hostility as we had been on the boarder.Looking around, amazed by the sheer amount of people that were in the coven.“You never told me Ali was a dark witch Dr

Estelle The dank smell of decay assaulted my senses as I climb down the steep steps. The slick stones beneath my feet threatening to send me toppling with one small miss-step.“I hate this place.” I mutter. Righting my footing yet again as a stone crumbles out from beneath me, sending a wave of small stones rattling down into the gloom below.This place had always reminded me of death.Even as a little girl, when my father had brought me here for the first time, an excitable ten year old girl, surrounded by my brother’s. Eager to see the Schmidtz family vault. The source of our powers, and a historic linage that could be traced back to the awakening of magic. I realised that this place was far from the fairytale tower of my dreams.Our family had held to the old ways.And it wasn’t until the fateful day that my father presented me at the Malificus Acus that I realised just what that meant.Blood.Sacrifice.Pain.Everything that I cringed back from at such a tender age.I couldn’t und

RosalieIt didn’t take long before the whole pack was aware of news about our expanding family.Just in the short distance from his home to the pack house, it felt like we bumped into every member of the pack in turn.The afternoon seemed to go by quickly.And the pack members seemed to amass at the pack house, all gathering around to wish us well.If it weren’t for the niggling feeling in the pit of my heart, then everything would have been perfect.By the time the sun was beginning to set in the sky, I found myself getting ever the more weary. Seeking the refuge of the evening air, I found myself walking out onto the patio, watching the sun setting in the sky. A glass of non-alcoholic prosecco left untouched on the garden wall as mull over the pain I was feeling deep inside.“Rosie?” Landon came to stand behind me, his strong arms wrapping around me from behind, drawing me into his warmth.I went willingly. Relishing the way my body fitting into his. How his slightly heightened core

RosalieThe gate squeaked with a vulgar cry, the sort of high pitch groan that wrang right through your brain setting your teeth on edge.Cringing against the sound, I wasn’t surprised to find the front door swinging open only moments later.“So much for surprising you.” I walk the short distance up the path to the front door of Landon’s home. He was situated just down from the main pack house in the Beta’s cottage.He had grown up here. It belonged to his family before they had been killed, and was gifted to him by Alpha Richard when he came of age. His formative teenage years he has grown up in the pack house under the care of Jo and Richard.“Sorry, I have been meaning to fix that.” He eyes the gate with an embarrassed frown, his hand reaching up to scratch the back of his head as a pale red blush crept up his neck.“On the plus side,” I try to break the awkwardness that had settled between us, “at least you won’t ever get caught out doing something you shouldn’t be!”That was it.
Return of the Luna Queen LXXXIV
Rosalie Summer was finally here. And feeling the warmth on my face was bliss.Finally reconciling to the idea of my own time, being my future, had been a difficult one. But none the less, I seemed to have found a new rhythm.I hadn’t been ready to fully commit myself to falling headlong into a new relationship. And Landon had been immensely patient with me.No longer wanting to feel a burden to Alpha Richard and Luna Jo, who had taken on responsibility of the pack whilst Drake and Steph took some time for themselves in the wake of all that had happened. I had made the decision to move out of the pack house.It was in Rose Cottage that I found my new normal.It had been difficult at first. Moving into what was my former home. A home which I had made with Alexander and our children.But after the first few months, I found myself now finding comfort in the memories I found here.Some modernisations into the new age, and it starting to feel like a home worthy of times I found myself.It

AlexanderI stood in the midst of the carnage around me.My face taking in the blood-soaked field surrounding me impassively. Bodies littered the ground densely. Heads decapitated; limbs ripped from the sockets.Those unfortunate ones that had now been delivered a deathly blow, lay limp on the ground, crying out in pain. Unable to stand up and leave the battle ground under their own steam, they would eventually succumb to a bittersweet end. Their open wounds would eventually become infected, and they would die miserable and in pain as their blood turned to poison in their veins. That is, if hunger did not get there first.Try as I might, I could not feel anything for the miserable souls lying on the ground.This war had raged for two years.Two years of battle and blood.When one battle was fought, the next would begin. All amassing here, at Castle Black.The blood-soaked ground would never be the same again.I watched as great pyres were built to dispose of the bodies. Pile, upon pil

RosalieI followed the rocky path in the moonlight. Wrapping my arms about myself trying to stave off the chilly evening air.I hadn’t come dressed for such an outing. But I couldn’t put it off any longer.Thorns snagged at my jeans and jumper as I kept walking, determined to get where I needed to go. I barely felt the little scratches as I pushed on forwards.By the time the stone circle appeared before me, the crescent moon was almost at its peak.The bright white slither looking down on me and lighting up the clearing with ease. It seemed especially large tonight.“You don’t get to choose my path for me!” I shout at the sky. I had no idea if she would hear me or not. I guess I am no longer her daughter. I am merely a human.I waited, perhaps for an answer, but none came.Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward, one foot in front of the other until I came to the central alter stone. Placing a hand on the hard, cold surface and waited.I am not sure what I was expecting. Even after t

RosalieI woke up to a blinding light coming through the window. Blinking in the early morning sun, using my own hand to shield my eyes from the blinding sun.As my body caught up with the rude awakening, I slowly became more aware of the ache radiating through my body. Every inch from my neck down to my pelvis felt abused.My mind slowly caught up with itself. And for a moment in a blind panic, I realised what happened the day before.Sitting up with a start, looking over to the empty side of the bed.He was gone. Landon was not there. I reached out a hand and felt the sheets. They were cold. He had been gone for some time.Wrapping my bedsheet about my naked body, taking in the wrecked bookcase, the contents now littered over the bedroom floor, I moved to the mirror. Taking in my apparent, “just fucked” appearance. My hair held an uncanny resemblance to a bird’s nest, my lips puffy and red. I should have been aware of how fragile my human body was without the protection and healing

Rosalie“Don’t stop!” I gasp, as he suckled on my collar bone and over my breast. I could feel everything right down into the pit of my stomach. And I could feel myself growing slick under his touch.“Fuck Rosie, you scent is so fucking amazing.” Landon all but growled, his teeth clenching as my top was ripped from my torso and discarded in a pile of rags on top of the broken bookcase.His large hand pushed aside the cup of my bra and fondled the delicate skin of my nipples. His teeth grazing them in turn with want, teasing each peak to a point.“Ohhh!” I moan my hips thrusting towards him, looking for more. “Landon, please.” I moan, begging him for something. I wasn’t sure what, but I just knew I needed more.Landon seemed to know exactly what I wanted without the need to be told. In the next moment, I found myself pulled away from the wall and laid out onto the soft covering of the bed. The rest of my clothes easily discarded so I was laid out in nothing by my underwear. My boobs po

RosalieSilence.That was all I could hear.Silence.It was deafening.It had been a fortnight since Tenebris had been vanquished.Since Steph had been killed.The Eclipse pack was in full mourning for the loss of a daughter. And there seemed to be no end to it. Not that I hoped for an end to it.I simply couldn’t bring myself to believe it was real.Steph had died saving me. And the guilt that surrounded me was overwhelming.“Rosie?” There was a gentle knock on the door. I turned to find Landon stood in the doorway, a tray of food in his hands. “Rosie, you need to eat something. It has been days.”He was right. I hadn’t eaten more than a mouthful of anything since it happened. Nothing tasted right. He all just felt like ash in my mouth.Landon had been patient with me. Even though he was in mourning himself. He still made sure to look after me. I was grateful for him. With him by myside life was a little more bearable.“Alpha Richard has declared that the pack begin to move out of mo
