Last Updated:
2020-12-26 01:45:02Killian called Crystal in his office early one morning six weeks after Sage shared the history of humans. She walked in, confused at first but when she saw the goblet and papers on the desk, she knew.
"Are you sure it's safe?"
"Thea was the only reason we didn't. She is part of this family now. I want everyone to go ahead and take part in the shift. We will call a meeting of alphas and lunas in two hours. I think it's time."
"I agree. Do yu want the kids knowing?"
"Not yet."
"Very well. I will send them out and see you in an hour for negotiations."
"Thank you."
She nodded her head and walked out. She went down to the kitchens and found all of them sitting and eating. Destiny, Tim, Alex, Missy, Blake, and Thea all looked at Crystal. She was wearing her serious Luna look and Destiny spoke first.
"Mom?"
"I need you to do something today. Including you, Thea."
"Yes, Luna."
"There's seems to be activity at the w

Destiny sat on the bed in her new room and took a deep breath. It was time and she new Tim would be waiting on the platform along with her parents and Tim's. Tammy was standing with her and she got the link that it was time."Des, they are ready.""Okay."She squeezed her hand, knowing she was nervous. Tammy was nervous as well. Her mate had been chosen to be beta of Green Marsh Pack. She would be leaving after ceremony to head to Green Marsh Pack. Destiny walked out and saw the crowd and walked straight up to the platform. She got up there and took Timothy's hand and Samuel began the speech for the trafer of power."Do you Timothy of Sea Cave Pack, vow to uphold the traditions and honors of this pack as its alpha now until the next transfer of power to your son or daughter's mate?""I do vow to do so."Then his father cut his hand open and Tim cut his open and they poured it into the goblet. Tim drank from it and then it was Destiny's

Alex woke up the next morning and found Missy still soundly asleep. As he pulled the covers around her shoulders, he stopped and stared at his mate mark on her neck. He walked to the balcony and stared at the sunrise. For some reason, he was not able to sleep. He knew he needed to, he wasn't just alpha but he was alpha king and that required a lot of attention. He dressed in casual sweats and a sweatshirt and walked down to the office. The light was on inside and then he poked his head in, he took a breath of relief as he saw Killian sitting behind the desk."Father?""Alexander. You are up early.""Couldn't sleep. What about you?""I'm always up this early. Come."Alex made his way to his father and pulled a chair next to him and watched what his father was doing."Sometimes, there are matters that are best taken care of in the morning before anyone wakes. For example, doing things for your luna. She is most important to you above everythin

Missy was in Crystal's office and she realized with horror that this would be her office and she froze. Crystal smiled when she turned and helped her inside."It'll be alright. You'll get used to it.""How. All of this will be mine.""Is yours. You are the new luna. I will stay and help, but I am not the luna of Blood Moon or the Luna Queen anymore.""What if I always need you?""You won't, but I will still be here to help. After all, this is still my house. You and Alex may renovate your room how you see fit. It is your room after all.""That's good news."Missy bit her fingernails as she watched Crystal go through all the paperwork on her desk. She saw walked over to the shelves and cabinets on one side and began looking through them all."You have books on every pack's history and even the histories older than that.""A requirement. You want to honor and respect each pack's tradition but also you need to learn what we

Crystal watched the scenes pass out the window as Killian drove to the mountains and to the castle. They had been on the road for a bit, stopping more than usual. This was the first time they left without having work to do. They stopped to enjoy each other and the views along the way that they wouldn't have time to do before. They stopped to eat and he helped her out of the truck."Are you okay, my dear?""Yes. This is the first time we've done thing for just us.""I know. It's a weird feeling, but we should relax."She smiled and walked with him inside. They ate and laughed and talked and other wolves came up to them during their meal."How does it feel to be retired?""It feels weird, honestly.""But it's also a welcomed vacation.""Well, I hope you enjoy your trip. You two deserve it."The waitress left and they paid their bill. They went on their way once more and stopped by the river before they headed upward.

Over the next couple of weeks, all they did was eat, fuck, sleep, and play the PlayStation. They realized that since they had become leaders, they had no hobbies. Being not only aloha and luna but king and queen took a lot of time and as they sat there, they began to wonder who they really were. Sitting on the bed and eating lunch, Crystal asked him."Before you were alpha, what did you like to do?""I trained a lot and there was always the next fight.""Wasnt there anything you wanted to do?""Sing. I've always wanted to sing.""You are a good singer.""Only for you.""Still, you are good.""What about you? I know you may not have had the chance, but what did you like to do?""Read, write, or draw. It helped me escape all the bad stuff.""Why did you stop?""Didn't need to escape."He smiled at her and gave her a kiss, knowing she was talking about him and it always made him feel some type of way kn

Alex was freaking out as his father sorted through a few things and Killian told him to relax."If anyone can find Missy, it's your mom. Let her work and you come over here and work.""Okay. I'm sorry. I just don't want to lose her.""You won't. Your mom will find her."Alex walked over and sat down next to his dad and sorted through the mounds of paperwork he left. He just prayed that his mom could find her and convince her to come back.Crystal was going through the paperwork and finished a few things Missy had left and was opening a drawer when she saw the hidden compartment open. She moved things and saw the orders for the cave Thea was in and knew where to find her. She straightened everything and walked down to the tunnels. She entered into Midnight Ash Pack and was greeted warmly."Looking for the Luna Queen and dragon.""You got back this morning and you found her already?""I'm good."T

Crystal woke first in the morning two weeks later and headed to the Luna's office. Papers were stacked and a few things were laid out that need a signature. She reviewed everything so Missy could relax today. Over the past few days, she noticed something and didn't know if Missy knew or not. Crystal brought in Sage and Sage confirmed what she thought. Crystal was going to be a grandmother.Missy walked in a few hours later and saw Crystal behind her desk. She smiled as she saw her and walked over and sat in front of the desk."Anything pressing that needs my attention?""A few signatures, but everything else can wait.""I know we ruined your vacation and I am so sorry, but I do like having you here.""I know and there may be a chance Killian and I go back up for a couple of weeks, but I don't think we will stay too long.""Why is that?

Amelia Barker sat in her office in the castle. As Luna Queen, things were never dull or slow. She fingered the book on her desk of her mate's great-grandmother's life. Nathan said all his life, they were told about Crystal and Killian. This book recorded her life and the first Gathering of Packs and why the packs joined together. She loved this book because it showed that even though they were the truest of mates, they had so many problems in their relationship. Amelia and Nathan met when they were ten at a gathering and they became best friends. When she turned sixteen. they knew. At twenty-three, Nathan was made alpha of Blood Moon and she was luna.

The Alpha's Battered Queen 55. The Book
There was a book reading at the castle during the gathering of packs and everyone had gathered on the lawn. Sage had situated herself in the front with the book and she put her mic on to begin. She waited for it to fall silent and she cleared her throat. 'I remember sitting in my room and getting the new book on our pack's history, written by the first luna and the lunas that followed. Mother was told she couldn't have any more children, so my parents looked to me to take over the pack. The training was hard, but I did it with ease as time went on. Then, a miracle happened. My mother was pregnant again and this time they said it was a boy. I had gone through all the training and now it wasn't my responsibility. Mother told me that I still may be a luna one day, so it wasn't a waste. I helped with little Andrew since the birth was hard on my mother. He and I were the best of friends. Father even
The Alpha's Battered Queen 54. The After Math
Alex went to his parents graves often for guidance. He and Missy started fighting like they did and he begged to know how they did it. The world seemed so crazy without them in it. Other species started to come and they made peace with most of them, like Killian and Crystal wanted. Thea was an ambassador for the species being a dragin and she felt more like a part of the pack then ever. Things were slowing down and peace was universal now more than ever and it was all because of Killian and Crystal. Alex knew that the three years his parents separated was hard. Missy had said a number of times that the Luna Queen was miserable and on a number of times mumbled about killing herself. Missy had told Alex and Killian on a number of times while she was there that Alpha Thomas was there. Since her separation, even being Luna Queen, he was trying to convenience her to come live with them. Killian started drinking the day Missy had told them it was Alpha Thomas who saved
The Alpha's Battered Queen 53. No One Knows
Once back home, Crystal and Killian sat down. There was a lot everyone didn't know. The reason she planned the three-week event was because she and Killian were fighting. For once in their life, they had disagreed on something major. They both wanted different things. Crystal wanted to stay at the castle away from most people she knew. She thought they were happier and closer here. He wanted to move them back to Blood Moon and be around everyone again. She feared if they were back around everyone, she would lose him. Even though she knows what he was doing, she didn't want to talk to him. But she had a better chance of turning Thea into a wolf than getting him to talk to her. Being back around everyone, he didn't have time for her, and even with how long they were together, she still felt like an outsider. She felt like she belonged in the background in his life.There was no talking about it. He wanted to go, but she wanted to stay. She thought going back was a mistake
The Alpha's Battered Queen 52.Thea
Blake sat at the table with Thea in their apartment in the packhouse. He had noticed lately that Thea wasn't herself. The move had happened almost a year ago, but still, she seemed off to him. She was happier to have her mountain, but something was still upsetting her. He knew it had something to do with the mountain and he had a plan to fix some things for her. He just hoped she didn't come back early. Her voice broke his thoughts and he looked up at her."What's on your mind?""Just thinking of how terribly bored I'll be when you leave.""I'm not leaving for a few hours. Missy is coming to get me and we are going through the portal to go see your mom.""All the lunas and beta females will be there?""Yes. It's a clinic for all of us.""How long will you be gone, again?""Three weeks."Blake laid his head down on the table and groaned. Thea laughed and moved to his side and put an arm around him. He kissed her and groaned agai
The Alpha's Battered Queen 51. The Big Move
The entire room fell silent and everyone stood in shock. Thea looked as pale as a ghost as she realized a change that had never happened before was about to happen because of her. Blake held her hand and waited for anyone to say anything. Midnight Ash's Luna, Brittany, spoke first."This is insane.""Well, it wouldn't have come to this had you been more acceptable to the plan before.""We won't stand for this. It has never been done and it won't be done.""Alpha Peter?""A move like this has never been done. But in the spirit of new changes, if Alex is okay with it and both the packs agree, I don't see why a move cant happen."Brittany looked at her mate in shock. He was going against her. Peter looked at her and reminded her that he may be alpha but as king and queen, they had the power to assign a new alpha and luna to Midnight Ash. She stormed out of the room and Peter walked up to Alex."What do you think?""Thea is my sist

Some of the wolves didn't like that Thea was still returning to the mountain and the alpha was having trouble controlling it all. So, paperwork was being made up to shorten the border for Midnight Ash and giving it to Thea so there would be no problems. Killina had a stack of papers on his desk, the floor, cabinets, and other places and he didn't know how to sort it all. Jake came in and saw how stressed he was and sat down."Want to go for a run?""What?""It might help.""Sure. I need to."They both got up and walked to the back and took off into the forest. Killian had been swamped with things to do that he didn't have the chance to see Crystal yet and he missed her. He needed a day off instead of a few hours.Crystal walked in to see if Killian was alright. After not really seeing him for a few days, she got worried. When she walked in and saw the
