Nikki POV

I felt a shadow come over me and when I opened my eyes I saw the object of my affection standing over me with an unreadable look on his face. So I sat up and said, “Hi.”

He was just looking down at me and I couldn’t help but stare at his chest while he breathed in and out. His muscles are on display in all their glory. “Hello Little Bee.” Frankie said and gave a half smile. Then he continued, “You know it isn’t safe to be out here alone with the recent rogue issues.”

Frankie himself looked a little dangerous at the moment and I couldn’t help but think ‘Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf’. I tilted my head to the side while looking up at him and said, “I wasn’t going to be here once the sun starts to set. But I can handle myself pretty well.” “You’re good at hand to hand Nikki, better than a lot, but you still haven’t shifted and if a rogue snuck up on you, you’d probably be killed,” he responded.

“Why Alpha, I didn’t know you cared so much.” I said trying to sound sarcast

    Nikki POV Frankie’s wolf, Kolt, moved fast even while carrying a passenger. I was in awe of his speed and if the situation wasn’t dire, I would take the time to marvel at the magnificent beast he was. As we approached the grounds surrounding the pack house I could see utter chaos ensuing. I leaned as close to Kolt’s ear as I could and told him to just slow down as we approached, that I would tuck and roll so that I could start helping those scrambling towards the bunkers. As he began to slow I saw Granny Delia struggling to get her 2 young grandchildren to the bunkers. So I did exactly what I said I was going to do. I somersaulted off of Kolt and continued the roll to land on my feet, wasting no time heading straight for Granny Delia. “Here Granny, hand me the little one.” I said. And I scooped the infant from her arms and turned and bent in a fluid motion to pick up the toddler she had by the hand. “Thank you.” Granny cried out in relief. “I will get these two to the bunkers, ca

  • The Blood Moon Luna   Wounded Hope

    Frankie POV The area at the north east corner of the territory was a bloody mess. The ground was already littered with bodies, some faces I recognized. I can see dad’s wolf Thunder fighting off 2 rogues, so I charge in that direction. I rammed my head into the side of the first one, knocking him to the ground and leaped on him clamping my fangs around his neck. I increased the pressure until I felt the life drain from his body. Before I could move, I was tackled by 3 rogues at once. An excruciating pain ran through my hind leg and I could feel the flesh being torn apart. I rolled so I could get underneath one of the rogues, so that I could use my claws to rip open his underbelly. I was able to relieve that wolf of his innards and able to shake off one of my attackers. Lehr pounced on my remaining attacker, with the third rogue removed, I was able to counter the attack on the second rogue clamping my fangs around his throat and shaking until I could hear a snap that rendered him lifele

  • The Blood Moon Luna   Deceit and Manipulation

    Alpha Hollis POV I should have known better than to trust a bunch of damn rogues to do my bidding. I can’t have the attacks traced back to me and one of them has been caught. Even though their leader assures me that no one but him knows the person behind the attacks is me, I am uneasy with that loose end. Never mind that specific instructions were given to keep Alpha Heir Frankie unharmed and they couldn’t even see that through. Bunch of imbeciles, 3 on 1! It is a damn outrage. The alliance agreement won’t work without the heir alive, well, and mated to my daughter. With my children as the heads of the biggest alliance on the coast, I will be able to control everything. No one will even suspect it. Kendall will be Alpha in name, but the boy is as bright as a burnt out light bulb. And my daughter, she’s as conniving and manipulative as I am, so she will make the perfect person to control the Cold Moon Pack. At any rate, this last attack should be what gets Alpha Kieran to agree t

  • The Blood Moon Luna   Visiting Frankie

    Nikki POV The day after the attack was pretty uneventful. I went with Luna Fran to visit the families that lost loved ones in the battle. It was amazing to see all that she did for each family. And what she did was separate from the Alpha, he and Frankie had been out early in the morning offering condolences and assistance to pack members who are grieving. The Alpha and Luna truly do support the pack in all ways possible. I never really thought much about it in all honesty. Though I do recall when dad died in the rogue attack that Alpha Kieran and Luna Fran had been there for mom and I when we needed it most. If the Moon Goddess blessed me with Frankie as my mate, I would have to do these things too. I think I like that idea really. Right now I am heading to the Alpha mansion, nervous as hell, but I wanted to see Frankie. We haven’t seen each other since before the attack and well, let's just say I have touched myself plenty thinking about his face buried between my thighs. Oh God

    Nikki POV As we walked down the steps I was just slightly confused after hearing Frankie tell his parents that it was ok to lock up if needed and I paused on the last step. Frankie turned and looked at me and said, “Is everything ok Nikki?” I tilted my head to the side looking up at him and asked, “You do know it’s only about 5:30 p.m. and you basically told your parents not to wait up?” Frankie just smiled and tugged on my hand to get me to start walking with him again and said, “Yeah, I figured that we could walk to the gathering place on Blood Moon Hillside and watch the sunset.” I smiled thinking that he really couldn’t be more perfect and said, “That sounds like a great idea, but I should have at least left a note for my mom in case she gets back before I do.” Frankie smiled and I noticed his eyes glaze over in a mind link. When his eyes returned to his normal sky blue he said, “Done.” I looked at him curiously and he said, “Your mom is Stella, right? I mind linked her to let h

    Nikki POV “Knock, Knock, ghost bitch!” Jonas said as he opened my front door and walked right in. “Hey, was that really necessary? What do you mean by ghost?” I said as I walked into the living room finishing my messy bun while looking for my knee boots. “You have been conspicuously out of touch the last couple of days” Jonas said with a whine. “First, don’t whine Jonas, it isn't manly. Second, I don't spend all my spare time with you anyway, so what is your damage Louise?” I replied, making Jonas roll his eyes. “Well biotch, inquiring minds want to know what’s up with you riding Kolt to the pack house?” Jonas said while wiggling his eyebrows. “What are you, my mother or jealous?” I replied with as much snark as possible. “You know it isn’t like that. Frankie just doesn’t do it for me. But I can clearly see he does it for you, so spill the tea already.” Jonas replied exasperated. “I was by the river laying on the boulder thinking and catching the last of the sun for the day. Fran

    Alpha Kieran POV Alpha Hollis: “So the Alpha heir will only take Lady Keegan as his chosen mate if he doesn’t find his fated mate during one of the next 2 Blood Moons?” Alpha Kieran: “Yes, those were his terms and considering it is him making the concession, I find it a fair request.” Alpha Hollis: “You could use your Alpha command on him.” Alpha Kieran: “Absolutely not. I would never force anyone to take a chosen mate. Least of all force my only son and heir to this pack.” Alpha Hollis: “Calm down Kieran before you have a coronary. I wasn’t serious, mostly.” Alpha Kieran: “Is there a reason that you need to rush your daughter into mating? She is after all an alpha female and I am sure any number of young alphas would desire her for status alone.” Alpha Hollis: “Not all. It is a matter of wanting to keep her close. With her mother gone, once Kendall takes over Rip Claw, well I want to be near both of my children for when they have pups of their own.” Alpha Kieran: “Hollis, I ne

"Oh my goddess! Are you serious?" Jonas said in a girl-like squeal. "I absolutely am. Frankie asked if he could take me for ice cream and since we already had plans, I invited him to come with us and told him to bring the others too." I replied. "This is so awesome! This is going to be EPIC." Charity chimed in. All I can say is I am glad Marcus already saw me all sweaty and gross or I would so hurt you right now." Silvie said with a big smile on her face. "Okay guys, just play it cool. I know we all have heir crushes, but these are older guys hanging with 16 & 17 year olds. So we have to not act immature about this." I said seriously. As we sat at the large booth waiting for our order, Frankie, Tatum, and Marcus walked in. After placing their order, they joined us. "Hey guys, thanks fo

    Mia POV I am not one hundred percent sure what Kendall means by public awaits, but I know I wouldn’t be dressed like this for any small event. So I eagerly placed my hand in his and followed Kendall to the back of the packhouse. When we stepped out of the back door we weren’t outside though. There was a dome that had been erected and decorated like a grand ballroom. The linens were deep burgundy and the table decor was greenery heavily trimmed in gold. The scene was absolutely breathtaking and my heart was so full, my chest could have burst right open. This had been done for me? But why? When a familiar voice came over the P.A. system, my head whipped in the direction of a small stage. “So, when I used to tease my sister about sending her far away to some evil Alpha, I never really thought about the fact that she might actually end up on the other side of the country mated to an Alpha that absolutely adores her.

  • The Blood Moon Luna   Restricted

    Mia POV As Gabby drove me home I thought about Nikki and Frankie’s romantic evening ahead. I won’t lie, I am just a little jealous. Frankie is still attentive to Nikki, and I wish I could say the same was true for Kendall and I. Maybe I should try getting all dressed up and taunt Kendall with naughty suggestions. But sex doesn’t really seem to be our problem though, he’s been a little cold and closed off, he even has the mind-link blocked most of the time. Maybe I should go home for a visit. It has been a few weeks since I have seen mommy and daddy and I really haven’t gotten to know Eli’s mate Cadence. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, so maybe if we spent a little time apart things will get better. There has to be something wrong with our bond, every couple I know can barely stand to be apart from one another. I was so deep into my own thoughts that I hadn't realized the Hummer had stopped. I was going to ask why we had stopped outside of the gates when I noticed a ba

  • The Blood Moon Luna   For My Treasure

    Kendall POV Do you have any idea how hard it has been keeping a secret from Mia? It means I have had to keep my block up on the mate bond and keep mind-links to a minimum so that she doesn’t find out what I have been planning. The whole no Luna ceremony thing has really bothered me and I asked her again to consider it after I picked up the ring that I commissioned Simone to make. No go, she doesn’t need a celebration to know that the pack loves and accepts her. The thing is that pack members have asked when we will be celebrating their luna. They are so excited to finally have one and they want to shower her with affection. So while it is really a little late to have a luna ceremony because she is really their luna in every way possible, it’s never too late to just celebrate her. So the pack has been secretly planning a celebration for her. When she comes back from Cold Moon this afternoon she will hopefully be surprised. Once she cleared the gates this morning we started putting

  • The Blood Moon Luna   Heartache

    Mia POV Everyone around here has been acting a little weird lately. No one seems to have time to talk and they are always in a hurry. Even Kendall seems distracted at times, I know we have a lot going on, but he has been so attentive from day one that it has me worried. Could our bond be broken or maybe just not as strong as everyone else’s seems to be? I really just don’t understand. I have decided that I am going to meet with Nikki and the rest of the girls at K&T this morning. I am in serious need of some girl time and a decent macchiato. I went to knock on Kendall’s office door and let him know I will be leaving for the day. “Come in,” he called out when I knocked. Gordon and Bertie were in the office with Kendall and it looks as though they are going over some sort of paperwork. I walked over and gave Kendall a kiss and said, “I am heading over to Cold Moon to have macchiatos with the girls, I will be back this afternoon. Kendall reached into his pocket and pulled out his keys

  • The Blood Moon Luna   Joining Forces

    Kendall POV Things went so well meeting with the elders today and I couldn’t be happier. I realize that a name change isn’t much in reality, but I feel like it is one more step away from my father and all of his misdeeds and something that will have a positive effect on pack morale. I am curious as to what Frankie wants to speak with me about, perhaps it is just the formality of signing the alliance that we verbally agreed to back in Atlantic City. Now that we have decided on the name change, we can move forward with the fealty ceremony and that should be another step in the right direction in the healing process of the pack. If it were a financially viable option, I would have this pack house demolished and build a new one to destroy more of the bad memories. I have a little more than two hours before Frankie should arrive and I asked Anita and Letty to keep Mia distracted while I pay Simone a visit. Hopefully they have interpreted what I had in my head into another of their stun

  • The Blood Moon Luna   Phoenix Storm

    Mia POV I am so proud of the progress that Kendall has made at sifting through the mess left behind by Hollis and the rogues. I can’t even call that vile man Kendall’s father and would never call him an Alpha. He was a disgrace to that title and his picture is next to the definition of evil in the dictionary. I don’t understand how any person can do half of the things he has done and still sleep at night. We discovered that Hollis had a lab set up in one of the warehouses, where he was testing the effects of some of the weapons he had been trafficking on different pack members who had angered him. Dr.Lynn from Cold Moon Pack came with an experimental cure that actually worked wonders in helping those who had been experimented on. She tried to explain that she used vampire blood to make some sort of protein fusion with the endoplasmic reticulum… I am definitely not science minded and it was all gibberish to me. It worked and that’s all that really matters, right? Apparently Holli

  • The Blood Moon Luna   Beta/Gamma

    Kendall POV I honestly didn’t know what I expected to find sifting through the mess left behind by the rogues and my father’s Beta and Gamma. But the level of depravity was astounding. They took everything they could from my people and when I say everything, I do mean everything. They collected what they called ‘taxes’ but in all reality was just their greed. The more a pack member had the more they took and worse was the treatment of unmated females no matter their status. They had the packhouse running as a brothel and if a female wouldn’t submit to their whims… I just can’t even talk about it. Poor Cookie won’t tell me what she has been through and I won’t force it, but I know it had to have been bad. I accidentally knocked the broom onto the floor when I entered the kitchen and she went into complete hysterics. I had to call Dr. Lynn who came from the Cold Moon Pack hospital to sedate her. I spoke to the human authorities this morning and found that they would not allow me to

  • The Blood Moon Luna   The Packhouse

    Mia POV After the battle was over, our injured and dead were transported off of the field. Kendall, my dad and I made our way to the Rip Claw packhouse. Kendall asked one of the omegas to get some fresh clothing and show my dad to the guest suite so he can shower and change. We stopped by Keegan’s room to find something for me to change into, then we made our way to Kendall’s room to shower and change. I wasn’t completely thrilled with wearing his psycho, dead sister’s clothes, but now is not the time to be picky. “How do you feel, Alpha?” I asked as we undressed quickly to get into the shower. “Relieved it’s over, if I am totally honest,” he sighed. “We freed our people and that is the important part,” I replied. “You said our people,” Kendall grinned. I looked down not knowing if I had misspoken and said, “Well, I hope they are our people anyway. You haven’t changed your mind have you?” He used a finger to lift my chin and his eyes sparkled with excitement. “Yes Luna, they are our

    Kendall POV We spent the day in training yesterday and I have to say watching Mia was truly fascinating. She is remarkable both in hand to hand and in wolf form. Her movements were fierce yet graceful; she was no delicate little flower. I have said it before and I will likely say it many times more; She is my treasure, my perfect blessing from Selene. Today is the day and I wish I could say that I am ready for it but the truth is I have slept for crap these last two nights. Don’t get me wrong there is no love lost over killing my father. Quite the opposite actually. It has been two nights of the same thing on loop in my dreams, my father telling me I am worthless, I can’t do this, and he will always win. Today is the day I prove him wrong though once and for all. He may be dead, but he is still in my head and the sooner we free Rip Claw from the rogues and begin rebuilding, the better. There is so much riding on this that if I let my father’s words sway me, I would fail. Failure is
