Hunter-
My mother had not been happy about moving the ceremony up a day, but she did it anyway. It hadn’t been like there was a lot to do. The invitations had already been sent out, but that was a simple fix. All I had to do was send out a pack-wide message to let everyone know the ceremony would be on Thursday.
I think my mother was just looking for something to bicker about. I know she and my dad have been going rounds lately. He wants to still have control over the pack and make decisions, but I guess I can’t really blame him, I imagine I would be the same when I retire. My mother hasn’t been too happy with his attitude though.
Riley had been sent to stay with a friend for a while since they were arguing every night. Riley had asked if she could just come to stay with us, but I didn’t really want her staying in the packhouse. It wasn’t that I didn’t love my sister, but having her around a bunch of men, just didn’t sit
Hunter-I must have been lying here for nearly an hour, I hadn’t wanted to become calm, but after a while the urge to fight just left me. Not that I wasn’t still pissed, but it wasn’t fueling my rage. Laying here eating dirt wasn’t my idea of fun either.“Are you done? If not, we can stay here all day if we have to. If you continue to act like this and can’t get your anger in check, I don’t want you around my daughter.” Zeke spoke.The thought of not being around Kyra settled me once and for all. I didn’t think he really had it in him to take her from me, but then again, I wouldn’t put it past him either. I definitely wasn’t about to test him.“Yeah. I’m done.” I said and then felt the pressure holding me, ease up.I sat up, feeling the ache in my muscles from struggling to move for so long. Falling onto my bottom, I just sat there, looking up at him, my hand massag
Kyra-“You need to calm down. You are going to ruin all the hard work I have done.” Lucy complained as she tried for the tenth time to pin my hair up.It wasn’t like I wanted to be a nervous wreck, I just couldn’t sit still. My hands were sweaty, my pulse was racing and I have listened to Hunter complain in my head that I was driving him mad with the constant jittering. I had to block him off because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t calm myself.I knew the ceremony was just a formality, but the moment I step into the role of the official Luna, how long would it take for me to screw it up? I wasn’t born into this life, it was forced onto me in barely and I haven’t even had two months to find my footing as a Luna.I knew what was expected of me and I had no problem putting in the work, but what if I end up destroying the pack? Couldn’t they find someone else to be the Luna? I could just sit quietly
Caleb-I made it just in time. The past twenty-four hours have been intense. I got pulled over twelve times on my way back. The last couple of times I had gotten lucky. I wonder how many speeding tickets one can get in a day, without being arrest. I managed twelve, but I think I just got lucky.I haven’t told anyone that I was on my way back, I didn’t want to upset Kyra if I didn’t make it back in time. But as I slipped in behind the Altar, the ceremony in full swing, I had to take a deep breath, or rather catch my breath. I ended up totaling the rental car about fifteen miles out and had to run the rest of the way.I couldn’t see Kyra’s face, but I watched as her spine straightened and she started looking around. I knew she could sense me, just the same as I could sense her when she was near. Hunter was officiating the Luna Ceremony and I could tell that Kyra wasn’t paying attention to what he was saying, she was looking arou
Kyra-Thankfully all of that was finally over. I didn’t think I would make it through the entire process until I had repeated the Oath to become the official Luna of Night Blaze. It really hadn’t been as bad as I thought it would be and I only had one flashback of reliving the nightmare of the last time I was standing on a stage being forced to become a Luna of a pack.Hunter and I stayed for a while after the ceremony and I went around the crowd of members so I could be formally introduced. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to remember everyone’s name. Hunter promised to help me and it was okay to forget sometimes. I was glad my father had been there for it, I just wish he wasn’t leaving in the morning.I didn’t have a doubt in my mind that I wasn’t going to sleep a wink tonight. Just knowing he was leaving, I just didn’t want to waste it sleeping the time away. For the past two weeks, he and I have barely h
Kyra-Just as I had expected, I couldn’t sleep. Brett had been the first to fall asleep, then Hunter followed close behind him. As soon as Hunter fell asleep, I had slipped out of his arms and placed my pillow in his arms. I didn’t know how he didn’t realize it was a pillow, but it worked like a charm, he just snuggled up to it and kept sleeping.Zeke and Caleb were still engrossed in the movie, which I didn’t understand what was so great about a man that dressed in all black and ran around a city with a cape. Sure he was a rich man that owned a large company, but that hadn’t been enough for him. Nope, he had to play the hero and take on the task of what I thought police officers were for.They seemed to be loving it though, so I didn’t really mind. I have watched a few movies that were decent, but I guess I just wasn’t as into movies as they were. I tried not to make a noise as I left the living room. Going into the kit
Caleb-“I don’t care what you have to do, find her and fix this.” Hunter ordered, through the link, I knew he was pissed, but he kept his voice calm, scary calm.“I didn’t mean for her to hear me.” I told him, running through the forest, tracking her scent.“You shouldn’t have said anything in the first place. We still needed to discuss how to approach her with it. She needs to know, but not like this.” Hunter said, still keeping his voice leveled, but it still made me cringe.I knew he was right, I should have known she was going to come back any minute. I was half tempted to shift into Maddox, at least in wolf form I would be faster, at this rate I was never going to catch up to her. I keep forgetting just how fast Kyra was.Why couldn’t I have just left well enough alone and kept my mouth shut? The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her. I couldn’t get through the link anymore, I
Kyra-“How will I be able to reach you?” I asked my father, as we stood near the border.“We can communicate through mind link.” He replied.“I didn’t know that, how come we never have before?” I asked, a little confused.“You are my daughter, you and I will always be connected. We haven’t before because I didn’t think you wanted to. I wanted to give you time to come to terms with being my daughter.” My father explained.I understood his reasons, but it would have been nice to be able to connect with him sooner than now. Stepping forward, I wrapped my arms around him, I wasn’t as upset as I had thought I would be. I was actually okay with him leaving, I mean I would miss him, but I knew I would see him again. He has made such a difference in my life that I felt like I would be okay.It helped me to know that I would be able to reach him anytime I needed to. I would alway
Hunter-Kyra taking initiative like that has seriously impressed me. Maybe I have been going a little too far and trying to keep out of the mix of things, I just wanted to keep her safe. The further away from everything, the better I would feel. In a way, no matter how many times I tried to convince myself otherwise, I was only holding her back.“Hunter?” I heard Caleb say from the open door to the office.“Yeah?” I asked, looking up and seen him leaning against the door frame.“Why are you trying to keep her from the fight? I know what you have said, but it just doesn’t make sense. She is the strongest fighter we have, her abilities will give us the advantage.” Leave it to Caleb to make sense.“I just don’t want her getting hurt.” I answered, which was the most honest thing I could have said.“Either you are blind or you haven’t been paying attention. Kyra can handle he
