After the events from yesterday, I now had a plan for what our future held. I knew without a doubt that I wouldn't be heading back to Blood Moon pack alone. This time Wynter would be at my side, where she belonged. She was the true Luna of Blood Moon pack. It was time for her to take her position.The thought of Wynter ruling alongside me, only made me even happier. Flashes of what our future held began to plague my mind. I was so lost in all the wonderful possibilities that I hadn't even noticed that Wynter had woken up.Her wolf began to lick my face, making Asher whimper. He loved the affection she was giving us. Asher immediately began to lick her back. He gentle nibbled on our marking spot, which made her purr. I could tell she enjoyed it, which made me want to do it all the more. I loved how she reacted to me. I knew she would only ever react like that to me, which made both Asher and I sigh in sheer bliss. 'We should get changed.' Wynter said in my mind a few moments later.I
...Wynter POV...Darius and I left the woods a few moments later. We went straight back to my house, and quickly packed everything I wanted. Living a rogue life, meant I didn't have much to take. Even though I hadn't lived a traditional rogue life for quite some time, I still maintained a similar lifestyle. I wasn't one to gather things I would never really use. I only kept things that were truly valuable to me. Not necessarily monetary wise, but things that had sentimental value. After I had packed, Darius had a car waiting for us, that took us to the airport. We boarded his plane, heading directly back to the Blood Moon Pack.I was on edge the entire time. I really did mean what I said earlier. I don't plan on leaving Darius ever again. With him no longer able to be compelled, it would be impossible to do so. Even when he had no idea who I was, he always managed to find his way back to me. So it would be impossible to hide from him. Plus what would be the point? The only reason I h
"What do you mean? He's the Alpha! How can he just go missing? Surely someone knows where he is.""Unfortunately, no. The only thing we know is that he isn't on pack grounds. We had one of our trackers search for him, but unfortunately, the trail ran cold. We even tracked his phone. However, we're unable to locate him. His phone must be off." Kenji manages to spit out.I look over to Wynter, sleeping peacefully. Blissfully unaware that something's wrong. I gently pull her close to me as I begin to hear her words run through my mind.'I have a bad feeling something's going to go wrong.' I hear her say over and over again in my mind.Is it possible she was right all along? Perhaps there's more to her powers than we understand. Is there a chance that she somehow got a premonition or something?I close my eyes, worried that our story may come to an end far faster than I could've predicted. Perhaps I shouldn't have taken her concerns so lightly. What if I had just run away with her as she
...Kenji POV...After Darius disconnected the call, I immediately began to make calls to everyone I thought could help.'Hunter!' I mind linked.'Dude? What the hell! You don't need to yell.' Hunter replied grumpily.'It's Darius; his plane lost an engine. So they're making an emergency landing.'"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?' He replies, making me roll my eyes.As tempting as it is to put him in his place, I decided to ignore his jab. Rather I push on.'I need you to locate him right away. We need to send out a team to get them.' I say.'Do you know where they are?''NO! That's why I said I need you to locate them! Come on! We don't have time for this!' I reply irritably.'Right, sorry. I'll get on it right away. I'll let you know once I've found his location.' I sigh a breath of relief as I disconnect our Mindlink. Not only is Hunter my second in command, but he's also a skilled hacker. I know it won't take long for him to figure out where Darius is. In the meantime, I depl
...Kenji POV...I don't know why we were suddenly taking fire. Being werewolves, we train more for hand-to-hand combat as opposed to guns. While our team did bring guns with us, it wasn't in our instincts to use them. After what happened today, I'll have to make a mental note to increase our training for guns as well. 'Hunter! What the hell is going on?' I mind link him.'What do you mean?' He asks. 'We're taking fire! Can you get eyes on us?' I ask him.'What? Why are you taking fire?''Seriously? I don't f***ing know! That's why I'm asking you!''I can take a check, but I doubt I'll be able to find it in time. Are you able to track the shooter?' 'I think there's more than one. Bullets are flying from both the north and south.''Are you sure it's coming from the north and south?''Yes. Why?''I'm looking at a map of the area now, and there's no way it could be coming from those directions.''Well, I may not be a bloody boy scout, but I do know a thing or two about general directio
I knew this is exactly what you're not meant to do when waking an unconscious person, but right now, I didn't have time for Darius to wake up slowly."WAKE UP!" I yell at him, slapping his face.After a few punches to the ribs, he finally woke up."DUDE! W-WHAT THE A-ACTUAL F*CK!" He yelled at me in between coughs."Fight me later, but we don't have time for that now. I needed you awake.""What's going on? Why are you like this?" He asks, furrowing his brows at me."Wynter's missing..." I begin to say."Why didn't you start with that?" He says, suddenly standing up. He crouches over, holding his stomach in an attempt to stand up straight."What's wrong?" I ask."Now you want to know? Perhaps you should've thought of that before you punched me in the ribs!" He says, shooting daggers at me."I think a few of my ribs are broken." He says, spitting out a bit of blood."Errr... oops.. my bad.." I say, realizing that I could've used other tactics to wake him up."I'd kill you... but I don't
...Wynter POV...I ran as fast as I could to get away from the shooting. I had hoped that by running away, it would keep Darius and the others safe. I didn't want them pulled into my mess. I could still hear shots ring out in the distance, but I paid no attention to it. I needed to get out of there and fast.I had run so long that I managed to find a road. We were in the middle of nowhere when the plane crashed, which meant that there were no roads for miles. So the fact that I managed to find one meant that the others should be safe by now. I calmed my pace and began to run along the side of the road. I needed to make sure that no one went after Darius if I were to head back. I wanted to make sure I gave him enough time to getaway. Plus, with Kenji and his team there, I'm sure they would've gotten Darius out of there by now, which meant that I needed to find a way to get back to Blood Moon safely.Whatever road I had managed to find seemed to be rarely used. I had been running alon
...Darius POV...I touched the ground around where Wynter was. I needed to figure out what had happened. I could tell from the strong scent in the air that she was here. Not only that, but she was afraid. I felt absolutely helpless. Almost as if my body was possessed, I could feel my hand go to the base of the tree. My eyes ran to the back of my head as images started to unfold in my mind. I could see Wynter running for her life. She'd been shot multiple times and had recently shifted out of her wolf form. Her perfect body was covered in blood and bullet holes. But from the looks of her injuries, these were basic bullets that she had been shot with. I could see black veins rung through her body which only happened from silver injuries. Her skin had paled significantly, and purple bruises could be seen throughout her body. Especially near the bullet wounds, which meant the bullets had to have been laced with wolfsbane.I was absolutely livid. Who could do something like this to her? S
