THE MISJUDGED LUNA 82
Kihara’s honeymoon lasted three nights. Three good nights of no worries, three nights of forgetting that there was even anything to be worried about. It ended too quickly for her liking, but they needed to get back to their duties, and Kihara needed to start hers. The bodies they found in the woods had been buried properly. In the days Kihara and Asher remained completely indoors, the only time they opened their doors was to receive food, and in their absence, Victor had taken charge. He’d put off alerting human authorities about the bodies in the woods and for good reason. No human police would not believe that the work had been done by a pack of werewolves. It’d be like putting handcuffs on their own wrists and walking to the police station to be locked behind bars, not that any police bar or handcuff could hold a werewolf. Apart from burying the bodies, there were many other issues. The pack had grown hesitant of stepping outside pack house boundaries. Members who had human jobs

Kihara had never been to the pack dungeon. She was not even aware that a place like such existed, but as it turned out, the underground bunker was not the only thing underground. The dungeon was built a bit off ways from the pack, the only thing that lead to it was well like construction with stairs. The dungeon wasn’t well kept, unlike many areas of the pack, because it was hardly used. Asher told kihara the last time it had been opened, it was used by his father, and now him, to lock up Justin.Kihara climbed down the narrow stairs that led down to the dungeon with her heart feeling heavy and in her throat, Asher right behind her. At the bottom of the stairs, the dungeon opened up to9 a big musty space. The air was hot and drier around here. Directly in the middle of the room, two iron cages sat beside each other, and Justin sat in one, on a stool, his hands and knees bound. The cages looked ordinary to Kihara, there was no reason why they should be able to hold a werewolf, Kihara w

Sebastian listened quietly the messenger, a drink in his hand illuminating the colorful swirl of candlelight it captured. The messengers words echoed softly through his ear drums. After the man was done, Sebastian nodded. “You’re dismissed.”The man backed out of the room, his legs were about to cross the threshold when Sebastian called. “Don’t go back to the woods Jerry. I doubt that our boy will be anymore useful after today.”***Everything was set for their journey to Ever-moon. Transportation and envoy and the gifts Kihara had prepared for ever-moon waited downstairs while the Alpha couples exchanged swift words with each other.“You know why I worry Kihara, it is dangerous.” Asher was saying, the veins in his temples bulging as he emphasized on the word dangerous. Kihara was having none of it as she stood glaring at him with her hands crossed above her chest. ‘I don’t see how that is an issue.” They had had this conversation last night, and the night before, still, Asher was in

Ajax’s men drew their weapons, axes and blades glinting in the air like the shine of cruel death. Leila turned to Kihara hastily. “Whatever you do, you’ll stay with me okay?” Kihara nodded, her hands tightening on her gun. I have this, she thought to herself, she ought to be fine. Asher from a few feet away glanced back at them quickly, he shared a look with Brody and Leila and they seemed to understand a they both nodded. To kihara, his eyes softened and seemed to tell, ‘be safe.’ Kihara nodded at him. She did not plan to let any of these men get close to her.And they were a lot of them. They were beyond outnumbered. The men were ordinary humans, and against a dozen well trained wolves were like an army of ants, but ants that they were, they crawled towards them from every angle, swarming in as if they could choke off the air. The men were way more than preoccupied in a few seconds, battling claws with blades and axes. The wailing sound of men broke through the peaceful mountainous

Asher felt it rather than saw, from the distance of a still forming mate bond, his mate’s distress. He looked up, and that was when he saw the man that had introduced himself as Ajax with his mate. He’d knocked Kihara out and now she lay cold and unconscious in his arms. A growl tore through the air and earth. Asher’s eyes shivered with emotion, fear and anger. Ajax looked over his shoulders at him, and for once, that unsmiling, unfeeling face dissolved with a smile. He’d won.Without time to waste, and with Kihara in his arms, Ajax ran off the roads and into the mountains. His mate weighed nothing in his arms, and was hardly an inconvenience, or deterrent to his speed. Asher screamed with fury, the panic traveling up his throat, clogging his airways. The men charged at him and he swiped and stabbed at every single one of them, not holding back his strengths. He needed to get to Kihara; the only thought that rang loud in his head. He couldn’t let Ajax have her, knowing where he was t

TRIGGER WARNING: Themes of torture mentioned below.)Brody found him first, in the thicket where he had chosen to bleed out his feelings. He felt like a broken man and no words needed saying as Brody looked over Asher. It was obvious that he’d not found Kihara, that he had failed in protecting his mate and now she was in the hands of a moon cursed wolf.“Come on Alpha, we’ll find her another day.” Brody said. Just not today, Asher thought. How was it acceptable that he came here with his mate and has to leave without her? How is it acceptable that she remains in that man’s lair, dead or alive for even a day?Brody helped Asher up and walked him back the way he’d come, until they broke out of the woods and unto the road. Asher’s leg was still bleeding but not as profusely as earlier and the pain of the wolf’s bane was also fading. Asher missed that pain, it was more merciful than the clenching and unclenching of his heart. This ache and this utter feeling of emptiness that was evading

“Please,” The prisoner begged, “You don’t have to do this.”Asher’s eyes burned. Why could he not do this? His mate was stolen from him, why did he not deserve to at least transfer his rage to this man who had helped make it happen.“I’ll talk, anything you want, I promise.” The whimpered, his voice pitchy and breathy.Asher paused in his steps. “Then start talking, and fast.”The man nodded furiously, his body visibly deflating with relief. “Where is Sebastian?” Asher asked coolly, the hammer hanging casually by his side.The fear was back in the man’s eyes. He looked up at Asher, his gaze with utter defeat, as he shook his head,“No?” Asher’s eyebrows twitched with impatience.“I really don’t know. I swear.” The man whimpered, voice so shaky it was barely comprehensible.“If you don’t know, then you’re not at all useful to me.” Asher growled lowly.The man fell to his knees. “We were hired randomly. They promised to take care of our families if we died for this, kill them if we didn

Twilight pack had gradually declined to a somber graveyard in the absence of it’s Luna. The halls bleak and lacking of color, every wolf felt the same bleakness inside of them, as though an emptiness had been carved in their hearts. More cruel was that they had no idea what to do. To mourn their Luna? For if she was dead, then that was the right thing to do. Or to hope? To dare look up to the moon and hope that she was still alive and that one day she would be returned? It did not seem likely, but it was a possibility they were willing to entertain. For their alpha, he needed it, needed that hope. That was all he ran on.Hunting down Sebastian had never become more primary than now. Asher has men combing every nook and cranny of this town. He was sure that one day, he would hit the jackpot and one of those searches would unlock the villains hiding place. He did not need to search for long however, it seemed that the villain was done hiding.It was early morning when it happened. Asher

“You did what?”Asher sighed. His Beta’s jaws was currently hanging off the floor. He had known Victor would strongly oppose, known also that Elise was one of the few creatures on this earth that managed to unnerve the life out of him. The woman creeps Asher out too, and once, maybe he’d liked the dangerous and sexy type. But he was literally a married man now and the only reason Elise would be coming to the pack was so that she can help find Kihara.“You invited her here? Are you mad?” Victor continued loudly.“Keep your voice down okay,” Asher hushed. “You know Victor, that we’ve been doing this ourselves for a while and failing. We need help, and she’s the best help we can get.”Victor shook his head, the look of horror on his face still not clearing. “Of course she’s the best Asher, she’s a fucking bounty hunter, hired killer, assassin,” Victor counted on his fingers, his eyes seemingly widening each time he dropped a finger. “And a fucking were-snake Asher, let’s not forget about
