Artemas J R BroylesThis was an emotional chapter to write. Hopefully you enjoyed it. Please leave a gem for the new Alpha! I would love to hear your comments as well. There are lots of new visual story enhancements posted on my socials, including the main characters as they are in my head. Thanks for reading! -A :) After the epilouges I will be adding the short story of Kendall and Mia, because in reality, we ended up with 2 Blood Moon Lunas at the ball that night. Also check out Alpha Baylor for a little lighter read while I work diligently on Gideon and Charity's stories.

The Blood Moon Luna History Lesson
Nikki POV After Frankie’s alpha ceremony things got busy but settled into a routine. I have spent most days with Luna Fran and our guards Emily and Maisey, getting things ready for my Luna ceremony. There was a lot of pack history that I needed to learn and with the studies came questions about various subjects. “Luna…” I started. “Fran or mom, Nikki. Honey you are Luna now, all that’s missing is the formality,” she softly scolded. It felt so wrong to call her Fran, but I haven’t fully wrapped my head around calling her mom. I took a deep breath, “Okay mom, this here says that if I don’t produce an heir for Frankie within the allotted time period, he has the right to reject me and choose a mate who can. Or he has the right to take a mistress for the same reason?” I questioned because that seemed like a terrible thing to do to someone. “That is an archaic law, honey. Nothing you have to worry about. Kieran changed that after Frankie was born so that no other woman would have to go t
The Blood Moon Luna A Gift
Nikki POV With my Luna ceremony being tomorrow everything in the territory seems to be hustling and bustling. There are decorations everywhere and everyone is buzzing with excitement. I am trying my dress on one last time in case there needs to be any last minute alterations. “Nikki, please stand up straight and quit fidgeting,” Maisey chided. “Sorry Maisey, I am just nervous for tomorrow. I know I dreamed of becoming Frankie’s mate for a long time, but all the attention is on me tomorrow and wasn’t part of what I fantasized about’” I confessed. “Maybe you need to do something for stress relief. We could meet the twins at K&T for coffee or spar, maybe go for a run?” she offered, trying to distract me. “We could call Mia and see if she can drive over to join us. I don’t know if she has made a lot of friends over at Rip Claw yet. Why don’t you call her while I get changed?” I replied. After I dressed I grabbed my purse and keys, so we could drive over to K&T. “I can’t believe Frankie
The Blood Moon Luna Luna Ceremony
Nikki POV Today is the day I officially become the Luna of the Cold Moon Pack and I am not sure how I feel about that. I love the things that lunas do for their pack, it’s the pomp and circumstance of this evening that makes me uneasy. All I have wanted since I found an interest in boys was Franklin Knight Conway, who is now the Alpha of our pack. So being his fated mate, I am the rightful Luna. To say that we went through hell to get to this day, would be accurate and maybe even a little understated. We survived multiple rogue attacks, three months of a long distance relationship, an alliance agreement that was meant to tear us apart, the death of my mom, and two attempts on my life. Through it all we discovered the truth about the past, brought down a smuggler/human trafficker, gained new friends, true alliances, and most of all each other. If you had told me the events that would unfold after my friends and I snuck up the blood moon hillside in May, the only thing I would chang
The Blood Moon Luna Epilogue Nikki 1
Six years later It’s been a busy six years since Frankie and I became the Alpha and Luna of the Cold Moon pack. There has only been one minor rogue attack and thanks to my brothers and their coven’s quick action, it was over before it got started. Yes, we actually have a coven of eight here on Cold Moon territory. They are the ultimate night patrol, but I will let Gideon tell you all about that when he tells his story. Alpha Kieran and Luna Fran a.k.a dad and mom are living in Montana half of the year and here on the territory the other half of the year. Alpha Kieran was offered a position with the council so when council is in session, they have to be in Montana for that. They prefer being home though where they served for 27 years. When they chose to be here only part-time, Frankie and I made the decision to move into the Alpha Mansion and turn our house into a guest house. Maisey’s parents stay there when they visit, as do other visiting ranked wolves. We didn’t host a blood m
The Blood Moon Luna Epilogue Frankie 1
Six Years Later his POVI don’t care how many times I have had to do this, I still detest meetings of any sort. Alpha Kendall along with his Beta and Gamma (you’ll meet them in his story) Tatum, Marcus and I are meeting with architects, builders, and the port authority to update the shipping docks. Our business is thriving and with growth we need to update and streamline for efficiency.After the battle and reorganizing his pack, Kendall came to me to say that the human authorities would not allow him to continue to operate Rip Claw Corporation. It was because he was the direct descendant of a known criminal. I knew that would put his pack in financial jeopardy to be without its main source of income. We were allies now and I couldn’t sit back and watch them suffer for something that Hollis had done.So I came up with a proposal that Cold Moon Incorporated would purchase the docks and that Kendall and I would share profits at a 70/30 split for 5 years, so that Cold Moon would recover
The Blood Moon Luna Epilogue Nikki 2
15 years later “Mom, David won’t let me hang out with him and Jerome!” Star screeched from the bottom of the staircase. This girl was going to be the death of me, you know that saying ‘May your coffee be stronger than your daughter’s attitude’? Well even I couldn’t stand coffee that strong. My daughter, Star Annie Conway, is 12 and feels the need to be everywhere her brother and his friends are. “Star honey, don’t yell in the house. I am sure your brother has a good reason for wanting to spend time with his friends, without his baby sister tagging along,” I replied as I started down the steps. “No he doesn’t, he’s just being a dick about it,” she replied. “ I sighed, she may be mine but her mouth and her temperament are all her Auntie Charity. “Star, what have I told you about talking that way?” I scolded as I reached the bottom of the stairs. “Sorry mom. I just like hanging out with David and his friends, and they were just going to K&T for macchiatos, it isn’t like I don’t go ther
The Blood Moon Luna Epilogue Frankie Conclusion
Eight Years Later Nikki and I have served this pack for 29 years and time has been good to us all. I can’t say that I would ever wish to have a rogue attack, but the one on the night of the blood moon all those years ago pointed me straight into the arms of my Little Bee. We went through hell and back to be together but I believe that made us stronger. Nikki has truly been the love of my life, the perfect mother to our pups, and exactly the type of Luna I had hoped for. Tonight we are throwing one last blood moon ball and then tomorrow, I will be passing the torch to David as he has found his Luna. He met Sinead during the last blood moon when he was traveling abroad on business for Carolina Phoenix Corporation. David had actually been considering taking a chosen mate because he hadn’t found her in the three years since he’s had his wolf and would be able to scent her on the blood moon. She’s a lovely girl who he calls his Lucky Charm, as he met her in the pub where she worked and
The Blood Moon Luna 1 Mia Before the Ball
MIA POV My name is Mia Rose Delgato. I am an Alpha Female shifter and I am 20 which means I have the opportunity to find my mate. Since I have been looking for two years, I am confident they are not in my own pack. I am the daughter of Alpha Isha and Luna Hope Delgato of the Desert Moon pack in Nevada and what they refer to as the pack princess. My Fraternal twin brother Eli will be the next Alpha of our pack and he uses that fact to taunt me. Eli and I argue often and are always competitive. Recently a new friend of ours, Nikki helped us with our sibling rivalry by having us spar against one another. It has helped our relationship immensely and he doesn’t tease as badly as he once did. Because of Nikki, people don’t always just automatically side with Eli anymore either. That itself is liberating. There is a blood moon in just two days' time and I am excited at the prospect of finding my mate, even if we are traveling to the other side of the country for the ball, I am hopeful tha

The Blood Moon Luna Finale
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. Phoenix Storm, may I present to you the guest of honor Luna Mia Rose De
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
The Blood Moon Luna Freeing My People
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
