I’m woken from my sleep before the sun had even begun to rise, Asher who wasn’t in a suit for the first time ever, stood beside the bed with his arms crossed over his chest. He told me my training starts today, if we wanted to get a head start before any of the pack members wake up, we’d have to start now.I battled with him for a couple of minutes, yes, I knew I needed to get as much training under my belt as I could before I have to start fighting. But I had such a long day yesterday and didn’t get to sleep until late, I was exhausted. But once the blankets were ripped off of me and I’m picked up and taken into the bathroom, I realise he wasn’t playing around.There wasn’t much point me showering before having to train, I was only going to get sweaty and have to shower for a second time in one day, now that’s just a waste of water! So, I dug through my wardrobe and find the workout clothes that Becky and I had gotten when we went shopping the first time, neither of us thinking I wou
After the very eventful morning, I jump in the shower and begin to get ready for the day. Asher wanted to join me in hopes of continuing the morning, but the officials called him into a meeting with Cameron. He offered me to join him but I thought I’d sit out on this one, I can’t grace them with my presence on every occasion, the dazzling feeling would wear off after a while.When Asher left this morning, the smile which was on his lips wouldn’t leave it. I know what happened was something he had wanted to happen for a long time, but it had hardly ever crossed my own mind.I knew this was only due to Scott, I had never done anything such as that with another man since Scott died. Admittedly, I never thought it would happen or not this soon after anyway, but with Asher, it felt right.I leave the bathroom fully ready for the day, but the only problem was, I didn’t have any idea what my day was going to look like. Normally, I’m with Asher for most of the day and I sort of follow him aro
We continue to walk in silence, the closer we would get to the house of the elders, the more worried I would get that something bad was going to happen. The King would look over at me for a moment before quickly, turning away to continue to lead me towards this unknown place. His action making me feel bad, I mean he asked me to join him yet, I’m walking beside him not daring to even speak.“I’m sorry I’m being so quiet; a lot has happened since I last saw you which is taking some time for me to really process.” I say after taking a deep breath to calm down, he looks over sending me a kind smile as I spoke. “I’m just going to tell you because you’ll find out eventually, after you left yesterday, we received a letter which said, I’m more than likely The Unknown Luna A.” I say with a little sigh, but once that sentence left my lips, his face holds a little shock but I also, got the feeling he already knew.“I can understand how you may be feeling, the entire world being placed upon your
After speaking with Patricia for perhaps an hour longer, I really felt as though I had a chance to win this war. I knew there was still so many difficult challenges ahead of me, let’s be honest, I didn’t get much training done today and the training I did do, I felt as though I was going to pass out at every turn!But that’s not all she left me with, just before the King and I fully left the dining room, she warned me. She told me someone who has been coming and going since I have arrived here, isn’t who they say they are. They may seem kind, but they have other dark ideas and are really helping the enemy.I reassured her I would be careful and come to see her soon, she only smiles telling me she was so happy that I had finally, been found and are where I truly belong. It felt so surreal to walk out of that building, in some odd way, I had found many answers to my questions in a sense.The King and I also had to part ways, he told me an urgent meeting was being held at the castle that
Asher takes me by the hand and begins to lead me towards the pack house, Cameron had waited behind for some pack members to retrieve the dead vampire. According to Asher, they will take the vampire in and run some tests on him. That way, they are able to find out who he was, in case he has some more significance to the vampires and run experiments. The more they know on how to defeat these vampires, the easier it will be for them and well me, when I need to go out there and start fighting.The pack house soon comes view, Becky waiting outside the front with her arms crossed. But once she saw me walking towards her, relief flashes her expression.“I wish you would stop doing this Liv, I don’t know if my nerves can take anymore close calls with you.” She says with a little smile walking down the steps, but I only smile thankful, I was able to get home safe.“I didn’t plan any of this, things just enjoy attacking me at random intervals of the day.” I joke as we come to a stop, but two pe
Asher strides into the pack house angrily, he had one thing on his mind and that was finding this worthless douche bag. First, he attempts to mark his mate when Asher’s back was turned but now, he has been helping the enemy all along and not only putting his pack members in danger, but also his mate once again.Cameron was close behind him looking around, they knew Spencer enjoyed talking amongst the pack members mostly in the pack house. Which is where he had probably gathered all of his information for Becky’s parents. Cameroon also felt proud of himself, he had finally stood up to Becky’s parents and showed them he isn’t one to pushed around anymore. All he needed to do was find Spencer, all of them can pay at the same time.Liv and Becky had gone back to Asher’s house, Becky was going to help Liv tend to her arm while the guys dealt with Spencer. They knew Spencer was more than likely going to put up a fight, both men wanting their mates out of the way for that.“Where is Spencer?
Becky was stood in the bathroom beside me whilst cleaning the many cuts on my arm, after we had left the guys, she hadn’t spoken much to me. I could see that she had many different emotions swirling around her head, not only due to her learning that her parents had been betraying the pack which she calls home. But also, she thought her brother had died a year ago only to learn, he was turned into a vampire the one I had to kill so he wouldn’t kill me.I was hoping she wouldn’t begin to resent me due to this, I had little to no choice to do what I did. If I would have allowed that man to do what he pleased, I wouldn’t be standing here right now.I look at her through them mirror as her eyes remained on my arm, I tried to read what her emotions were telling me, but I was at a loss. I sigh slightly taking a look down to the counter, I somehow had to break the ice.“I’m sorry.” Is all I say looking at her once again through the mirror, but she lifts up her head sending me a confused look.
The closer that we would walk towards the huge crowd of people, the darker the entire atmosphere which engulfed us felt. I tried to remain calm by slowing my breathing, but every time each pack member would look over at me worried, I would only panic that much more.I really hope they aren’t expecting me to stop this, I know Asher listened to me this first time, but there would be no way he’ll listen to me after the incredibly lengthy list of awful things that Spencer had done.More and more people begin to join the already, gigantic sea of people crowding around the stage like structure in front of us. Before we could become members of the group, three men in suits stand in front of me blocking me from being able to move.“Hello Luna, we need you to sign these documents before the execution.” One man which I soon realise was from that meeting I had with Asher says, but due to the situation we were standing in at the moment, it was getting a little overwhelming.“Documents for what?”
A week soon flies by after the war, my days being anything but relaxing. The first day was spent with me being checked over by a doctor. No matter how many times I would tell Asher that I was fine, he insisted that a doctor check me over just in case I had been nipped by a vampire and just didn’t know it! Yes, I know how that sounds but he wouldn’t have any of it.Once the doctor found that I was okay, like I had repeatedly told Asher, I spent the next day speaking with the pack members. They were all overjoyed and offered me kind words and hugs for saving them, I smiled thanking them but also reminding everyone I had not been fighting alone. They had all of the fighters and Thomas to thank also, which everyone was more than happy to do.Speaking of the fighters, none of our men were killed and only one had been injured but not severely. I visited him in the hospital where he was still up and about, due to make a full recovery.The celebrations had not only been within our pack, many
Within a matter of ten minutes, all of the woman and children were safely hiding in the basement, while I stood with Thomas and all of the fighters waiting for my call. Going into this, I thought I would be absolutely, terrified standing here about to set off but to not even have Asher beside me. But perhaps it was because I knew what I was doing or, they had taken Asher from me, but I was more than ready to make each and every one of those disgusting monsters pay for everything they had done to so many people.Thomas walks over to me with that same worried look on his lips, he wasn’t in armour as he was one of the fighters which will be in wolf form to take on more of these beasts.“You look ready.” He smiles coming to a stop right in front of me, I only nod my head staring back into the forest a sea of trees filling my view, somewhere in there was Asher being forced to watch all of this unfold.I couldn’t mind-link him to even ask if he was okay, it was as though there was something
Five weeks later.It has been weeks since Asher and I arrived back after visiting my parents, each day has been busier than the last. Every morning, I have woken up at 4am to begin my training with Cameron, those training sessions lasting until 7am. When I went into this whole training with Cameron, I was under the impression that he’d be his jokey self and we’d have a great time. Yes, he does have his moments in between exercise where he makes a joke, but most of the time, he’s serious.~~Cameron stood in front of me with his claws extended, we had just done an exercise with swords as the vampires are known to use them, but he wanted me to be prepared for everything, so now he was using hand to hand combat.I was able to block his first hits, we had also worked so hard on my speed, so I’d be able to dodge any of the enemies blows to my body. I was able to grab his arm as spin him around, but when he turns to face me, his claw cuts into my arm where a long cut sat.“Ouch.” I say taki
We were soon woken up by my mother telling us dinner was ready, but both me and Asher had a solid few hours of sleep which will get us through the long drive home. I know I never told my dad that I wanted my mothers famous Cumberland Pie, but boy have I missed this! My mother has been making this ever since I was little, it’s my favourite dish of hers. Even Asher seemed to really enjoy it, but deep in his mind, I knew he couldn’t stop thinking about Justin and the safety of the pack. He would engage in conversation whenever he was spoken to, that same smile on his lips answering whatever question my mother would ask. To his delight, the time had come for us to head home and deal with Justin.We were stood outside of our house with my parents, my mum getting teary eyed as she watched Asher sort the car to leave. I knew I should stay longer as I had been away for months, but I couldn’t just abandon the pack at a time like this.“Are we not going to see you again for another six months?
The awkward tension which lingered in the air was thick, neither men uttered a word and I didn’t know what I could say to make this situation better. Asher and my dad were refusing to break eye contact, to show the other that they weren’t scared and definitely, wouldn’t be the first to back down.“I’m curious if you’ve only shacked up with my daughter because you really want to be with her or, it’s just yours and fathers way of getting back at me.” My dad says crossing his arms over his chest, but I only roll my eyes at his stupid comment while Asher, let’s out a low growl in his direction.“I’d watch your mouth Fawcett, you may be my mates father, but I will still rip you to shreds given the opportunity.” Asher growls out looking my dad in the eyes, I step forward taking his arm in hopes he wouldn’t begin to swing for my father.“Well, I guess I’m not understanding, I leave your town because of disagreements and now you’re suddenly, mated to my daughter. Tell me how that makes sense.
I was soon sent upstairs to pack a bag for the trip, I knew we were only going for one night, so I didn’t have to pack much. I wasn’t giving myself much time to think about what was happening, I was actually going back home to see my parents after all of this time. Yes, we have to sit down and ask my dad questions I never thought he knew anything about, but just to see them will be so lovely.But there was also a little issue I had found, what if my mother asks where I have been and won’t let me leave? What if Tanya, has returned home and I run into her? Am I going to have to lie to them? What if they ask to return with us, it’s much too dangerous?!I zip up the bag after packing my own things and Asher’s, I made sure to ask him what he wanted me to pack beforehand. He was downstairs talking with Thomas and Cameron, making sure they were fully equipped to run the pack whilst he isn’t here. But also, telling them the conversation we had goes no further and that includes Becky.I mean t
I stare down at the photo still at a loss, my dad and Asher’s were best friends? Why did I never know this before? I knew my dad was in the army for a while but after I was born, he stepped back and started working as a mechanic so he would be closer to home to help my mum raise me. But I had no idea he came all the way out here! That must mean my dad also knows about werewolves, so when my mother used to tell me the story about The Unknown Luna A, did he know what she meant? Did he ever tell her?!“Are you sure it’s your father?” Thomas asks picking up the photo while I get to my feet to pace, but when I turn to look at him raising my eyebrow, he understands. “I guess now that I’m really looking at his face, you do have some similarities.” He shrugs placing the photo on the table once again, but I still couldn’t understand what any of this meant.“Why does my father have anything to do with this situation, Spencer said this will all point to us finding out who this spy was, but it’s
Thomas and I soon arrive back home, I didn’t fully understand how I was going to be able to explain this all to Asher. I was fully lost myself on what all of this meant, I went to see Patricia in hopes she would offer me more insight, but she only answered questions I didn’t even know I needed answers to.Thomas suggested we head in Asher’s home office, that and his pack house office were two of the most secure places. We don’t need the spy for the vampires coming around and seeing everything we had, they’ll find us when we want them to find us.Asher had a mini table beside his desk, I suppose it was if he had to have meetings with more than one person, they could all sit around the table together. I sit at the table pulling the file out into the open, thankfully, none of the papers have fallen out on our journey here. Thomas pulls out the chair beside me with a smile, but when I place the necklace down on the table, he shuffles away a little.“You really don’t like that thing do you
The safe was full with a huge folder, what seemed to be jewellery and a type of liquid in a bottle looking back at me. I turn back towards Thomas in hopes he knew what any of these things were, but when he gives me the same look I had on my face, I see we were both at a loss.I reach forward and pick up the first item, it was a long silver necklace which wrapped around my hand once I had picked it up. Thomas backs up even more once he saw, I guess he was very much scared of that silver touching him. But now it was out of the safe, I could look and take in all of the many details. The pendant was of a man with a beard his eyes closed but a crown on his head, whatever this necklaces purpose was, it seems expensive. But also, I felt as though I knew this from somewhere yet, I still have no idea where from.I unwrap the necklace from my hand and gently placed down on the hardwood flooring, the light from the window causing it to sparkle and glisten. I now reach for the white liquid in a c
