Skylar When I wake up, I find myself in a strange place. I'm still trapped that much I know but I remember falling asleep on the bed in this room so why is my back against something hard? I look around and try to move but find that I can't. It's then that I see that I'm tied to a long table. Panic sets in and I struggle with the ties. What's going on? What is that crazy Dahlia doing to me now? I won't give in! She'll never be my Mom! "Oh, good! You're awake!" I snap my head to where her voice comes from and I tense. Dahlia is sitting on the bed I fell asleep in the lap of a man. Her eyes are glassy and her face flushes like she has a fever. What makes me feel afraid though is the man. With his long red hair like wet blood and dark red eyes, I just know he's trouble. Everything about him just makes me want to shy away and hide. His lips twist into a cruel smile and my heart pounds in my chest. "Magnus, love, this is the boy! My son who has been so brainwashed by my stank of a sist
~Back in the Present~ Tristian Taking Keith home was such a strange feeling. He only looked around with a blank stare and didn't respond to anything I said. He would then sit down on the floor and pull his knees to his chest as if he didn't belong anywhere. Coaxing him didn't work either even when Dahlia tried to do the same. Thinking about it sends a pang of sadness through me. What sort of life has he lived through to make him so... void of life? Dahlia only said that she saved him from the terrible woman who took him from us but who was it exactly? While I am happy... why doesn't this feel right? After Keith falls asleep, I make my way downstairs and spot Dahlia in the kitchen. She hums to herself in a dreamy-like manner and it makes me crack a smile. It's nice to see her so happy. I step forward to approach her when a certain scent reaches my nose. I tense and watch as Dahlia happily hums and makes herself a snack and some tea. She's not only happy because of Keith! Jealousy
Keith Life isn't so bad honestly. I have a nice home, all the food I can eat, and some kind kids who want to be my friends. I'm even the son of the Alpha and Luna making me like a prince in a fairytale story! I'm supposed to be happy and grateful. So why does everything feel so off? 'Don't forget who you are!' That voice echoes in my head but where is it coming from? Thinking about it gives me a pounding headache too. The man who calls himself my father is nice enough. I don't have any complaints about him but I do feel uncomfortable. 'Tristian' is what I call him but he seems understanding about it. He doesn't push me but the expectation just makes me feel weird. I look just like him so it must be true. Mother on the other hand... she's so strange and clingy. For the most part, she's just kind and loving. When I look at her, I think 'She must be my mother' and don't question it. It's just how she acts that scares me. If I do anything wrong, then she becomes very angry. She alway
Daisy The moon tonight is lovely and full. As I sit under the stars by my favorite lake, I can't help but let my mind wander. Everyone tells me to stay positive. I hear it so many times a day at this point that it makes me want to scream. If I keep being reminded of my pup's absence, how can I stay in the right mindset? Don't they know that it only makes me more depressed? "Skylar will be home soon! I'll make sure of it." Aiden assured me like always. "Everything will be back to normal soon. I promise." How can he promise something like that? I don't want us both to be disappointed. "Try to keep your stress levels down," Olivia told me after examining me. "I know it's hard but you don't want to cause any issues with your twins. It's still early in the pregnancy so you must try and breathe." Easier said than done. I don't want to harm the twins but how can I not be upset? Everyone else in the packs says the same thing too. "Don't worry, Luna! Let us do the work and bring Skylar hom
~Several Weeks Earlier~ Samuel My days in Crimson Moon have been great honestly. I have plenty of friends and can stay by Daisy's side. My crush has long faded and I see her as she sees me: a sibling figure. She's a wonderful big sister and of course an even better Luna. I'll always love her in a way but not in a romantic sense. I'll need to save that for when I pick someone to be my chosen mate. Victor let out a small snort in my head which makes me frown. Any time I think of choosing a mate he gets so huffy with me. "What is it this time?" I ask as I change into some nice dress clothes. I hate the traditional suit look so I go with a pair of black jeans and a nice button-up shirt. 'There's no need to think about it. That's all. We have a second chance mate out there.' Victor says with so much certainty like always. I raise an eyebrow as I wonder if he knows more than he's letting on but I shrug it off. "Well, one day I might find a pretty she-wolf I like. Maybe you'll like her
Samuel I walk behind Aiden and Daisy as they talk and bicker with each other. I want to see this for myself. I want to see Moonlight Pack see just who they lost by treating her so poorly. Excitement runs through my heart as I picture the looks on Tristian and Dahlia's faces. I want them to what they lost. I want them to regret and relish the idea of them begging for her to return. I know nothing will beat her love for Aiden so I can have the satisfaction. The thought makes me feel a little warmer but it's bearable. I feel eyes on me but I ignore them as I walk. "Entering now is the Alpha and Luna of Crimson Moon!" An Omega from Royal Pack announces making all the attention go on my Alpha and Luna. "Welcome Aiden and Daisy Rivers!" The gasps of shock that ring through the air are music to my ears. As I walk inside, I spot both Tristian and Dahlia looking at the two with a mix of shock, horror, and rage. Dahlia bites one of her nails which I see as a nervous habit. When coming to
(~BL content incoming!~) Samuel My mind is a blurry mess as I make out with my mate. As they feel me up, the heat only gets stronger making my stomach ache. I whimper feeling a deep need within me and grind against them. I groan faintly and open my eyes meeting a pair of amber orbs. As I do, I recognize who they are but don't shy away. How can I when this feels so right? I kiss him deeply making him growl and in a flash, he yanks my dress shirt making my buttons fly everywhere. As he kisses my chest, my heart pounds in my chest and I feel him smirk against my skin. "Excited huh? Good... you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this moment..." Before I can speak, he licks one of my nipples making me gasp out loud. I can only imagine how red my face is right now. "P-please..." I'm startled by how breathy my voice is but I don't stop. "D-don't... tease me... Peter..." I finally say his name. Peter looks up and his handsome face twists into a smirk. "Not at all... I merely wa
(~More BL content!~) Samuel As I take Peter into my mouth, I feel him flinch and twitch in response. Who knew what I'd have the big bad Crimson Moon Beta wrapped around my finger. The thought thrills me and I don't hold back. As I bob my head, I let instincts take over as I have zero experience with either gender but I find it natural for me. Maybe it's because he's my mate? Peter groans and runs his hands through my hair. "Fuck... you're not making it easy to hold back." He growls as his cock throbs in my mouth. Finding satisfaction and pleasure in his reactions, I continue making him grunt and moan. "Fuck... I'm sorry..." he suddenly forces my head still and groans as he releases his load into my mouth. I choke a bit but squeeze my eyes shut and do my best to swallow. When Peter releases my head, I pull away quickly and cough trying to catch my breath. As I pant, he puts a hand on my cheek and makes me look up at him. Peter's eyes darken more as he watches me. What do I look l
Samuel I don't know if I'm being brave or stupid. Trailing behind the pack to speak with the man who hurt me more than anyone ever has... I hope it's the right decision. We do need to talk but I've never felt ready to. Being apart for so long helped me get out of talking but this isn't healthy. Eventually, we stop and watch as our pack continues ahead. I look at Peter now and see his eyes darting around. Is he nervous? That's what he used to do when he was antsy about something. Funny how he still has that little tick of his. I let out a faint laugh. I never realized how much I knew Peter without trying. We were friends for so long... how did things turn out this way? So many things went wrong between us all because of that night. I don't even know what happened to me since I've never gone into a heated state again. I take a deep breath. "Now are you going to explain yourself?" I ask looking to the side at Peter. "I've come to terms with the pain you've caused me... but I still wa
Peter "Today, we will be heading home!" Aiden announces to the pack. "I would like to thank everyone in Royal Pack for your hospitality." He dips his head to Xander. "Thank you for allowing us to stay while my pup was injured." Xander smiles and nods. "Of course. Thank you for helping with the war." Next to him is his male Beta as Carmen left alongside their pack healer a few nights ago. The only one who seems to know the reason is the Alpha King himself and since it has nothing to do with Crimson Moon, I don't care enough to ask. Aiden nods and motions for us to follow. "Come along. We have a long road ahead." He says and with that, we're on the move. Since we have pups with us, we can move as quickly as we want so it'll take an extra couple of days. As we walk, my eyes wander over to Samuel who is holding our pup. After learning Hazel and Zoey were mates, hope swelled my heart. Maybe we could start anew and put the past behind us. This is the chance I've been waiting for. Howev
Tristian The war doesn't last long at all. Without Trent's leadership, the rogues devolved and scattered after the second fight. It may take years for another large group of rogues to band together and even longer for a powerful wolf to take them over. With how Moonlight Pack must be now... they will scatter too without any leadership. Of course, I can't call myself a leader as it is. As my wounds healed, I knew it only meant my time here was coming to an end. I silently cursed my Alpha blood for making them heal faster and dreaded what was to come. Xander only allowed me to stay because I saved Leah but only until my wounds healed completely. Soon I'll be all left alone and it will truly be all my fault. Regretting it all doesn't change anything though. I tried to speak to Daisy and apologize but she didn't accept it. She barely let me speak before she lashed out but it was what I deserved. The more she talked down on me, the more I agreed with every word. "You want to apologize
Skylar The battle didn't bother me when it happened. The other kids were scared and Ebony especially was terrified too. However, when I looked out and saw Moonlight pack members fighting alongside rogues, I could only think of one thing: it figures. Nothing they do surprises me anymore. The way I see it, none of them are worth anything at all. Seeing how other packs are opened my eyes to just how dysfunctional Moonlight is... or rather was. Knowing that they're nothing more than a band of rogues left out in the elements brings me so much joy. They've finally gotten what they deserve! The only ones that are worth caring about are already here: the Omegas who were powerless against the rest of the pack and the former Gammas. I did worry about Grayson fighting when I looked over at Rina and their pup but he's also an amazing fighter so when the battle was over and he came over to check on his family, it was just a sure thing. Now I have to worry about my little siblings instead. I lo
Tristian When I wake up, the first thing I notice is the pain I'm in. I've never felt anything like this before like my body has been ripped open. I let out a small whimper and try to move but it only makes things worse. "Tristian?" A sweet voice calls out to me and my nose is filled with the scent of lavender and mint so I open my eyes. I meet doe-like eyes and lift my head. 'Leah...?' Pain rips through me and I let out a small whine. She pats the top of my head and if I didn't hurt so much, I'd be wagging my tail. 'What happened to...!' Then memories of the battle come back to me. I immediately start sniffing her trying to see if she smells of blood. 'Are you alright?!' Irrational panic runs through me. Leah bites her lip and nods. "Yes... I'm ok." She frowns but then continues to speak. "... Why, Tristian?" I tilt my head feeling confused. "Why did you... protect me? Why didn't you run away? Why?" She sounds so frustrated. Why is she asking me that? Shouldn't it be obvious?
Leah As I sit next to the unconscious former Alpha, my anxiety gets stronger with each passing hour. Thanks to my wolf, he was out of danger and would recover. That's not what I'm nervous about at all. I want to know why he did what he did for me. I want to hear it from him. Before I alert Xander to tell him he is awake... I needed answers. *** ~During the Battle~ Getting an alert of a rogue attack gets me on edge. As a doctor, all I can think of is my pack members getting injured. No amount of preparation makes these things easier. "What's wrong?" Tristian asks worriedly. I came down here to give him his meal and leave yet I lingered here to chat. Something about Tristian calms me down when I should be on edge since he is one of the main factors in this war we're in. Yet I can't bring myself to hate his stupid but handsome face. "I'm sorry but I have to go! They're attacking the pack while everyone is gone!" I turn away knowing I'm needed up there. "You'll be safe here s
Silas ~Dream~ Running free is the dream of every wolf. Fresh air going into our lungs, wind blowing through our fur, moonlight lighting our way... it's just what every wolf hopes they can do. To make it better, their mate would be running by their side their furs brushing against one another, and love pushing them forward. Yet as I run, the air is stale and chilly. The forest around me is dark and suffocating. As I run, I'm lost and alone with no mate to be found. I already ruined everything with Naomi. No matter how much I yearn for or plead with her, she won't come to my side. I made a huge mistake trusting and loving Sunny. I was blinded just as Tristian was to Dahlia. Now I'm doomed to live forever alone. Soon I'll be a lonely rogue and lose my mind completely but haven't I already? All I can think of is Naomi. I can't get passed it. I haven't tried very hard but how can I? She was my perfect mate. She could have been an amazing Luna who would have elevated Moonlight Pack to
Daisy The moment we enter Royal Pack's base, the sound of growls and yelps makes my ears ring. I stand there stunned at the fight that awaits us. Most of the wolves here are rogues but I do catch sight of some familiar Moonlight Pack members as well. How can they go along with this? Why have they fallen so far? I clench my fists. It's like none of them have brains of their own. They deserve whatever they get once they become a scattered bunch of rogues. "Stay safe, love," Aiden says before rushing off after Xander. Looks like they'll be fighting together... no one will stand a chance against them! I quickly shift into my wolf form my paws itching for some action. Hopefully, I'll be able to find Dahlia in this mess! 'Daisy!' Anna's voice rings in my head before I can jump into battle. 'I need you to help me protect the pups!' I dig my nails into the ground before I take off following Anna's scent. While I'd love to fight some nasty rogues, protecting the pups is more important. The
Zoey Defending the pups is a no-brainer for me. I was trained as a warrior and continued my studies even after coming to Royal Pack. Doctor Leah told me having a schedule and continuing down the path I was before would help me with my lost memory. Too bad it didn't come back sooner. Luckily, my wolf is larger than most she-wolves though I don't match up to Luna Queen Anna. Her gray and white wolf form is built with power which is why she is also perfect for protecting the pups. No one will be able to harm them with the two of us here especially when our pups are in the mix. The thought of any of these bastards getting close to Ebony makes my blood boil. We are outnumbered by a lot. All we can do is hold the rogue and Moonlight scum off until the others show up. I can tell the others are getting tired but then a loud howl echoes the clearing. Anna perks up. 'Xander!' She yips in joy hearing her mate. Must be nice! As the reinforcements rush in, I let out a sigh of relief. Now I kno
