The Blood Moon Luna Grizzly Circumstances
Nikki POV I shouted for Mia to use my phone to contact Dr. Lynn as Frankie and I leaped off the porch shifting, followed by Luna Fran, Gideon, Alpha Isha, Maisey, and Emily. We were halfway to the gates of the territory when I could hear the hospital transport vehicle in the distance. We had no idea of what we would find when we got there, but one thing was clear, it wasn’t going to be good. As we got closer to the gates we could see several warriors moving about tending to multiple figures that were on the ground. Someone had thought to turn the flood lights on, so the closer we got to the scene the more grizzly the picture became. I could clearly see Head Counselor in a sitting position holding one of his arms that was a bloody mess. The warriors were trying to help the other councilmen and then there were two that a single warrior stood near at stark attention. Those must be the two who were dead. One of the warriors must have noticed coming as he came out of the guard shack wit

Alpha Hollis POV ‘This is Alpha Hollis Quisling of the Rip Claw Pack if anyone can hear me, I am being held captive. I don’t know where I am, I think I have been here for a week. If anyone can hear me, PLEASE HELP.’ I say this mantra each time I surface. I am not even certain it has been a week, I have lost count of the number of times I have surfaced to have that vampire send me back to the depths of wolfsbane hell. If it has been a week then the worst has happened. Like clockwork I contact the rogue leader and tell him I either have an assignment or that I don’t. I send payment to keep his services at my disposal and then I go on about my life. Hired thugs are what they are and without the payment that they have received every week since I first hired them to kill Graciella, they will come to collect. Beta Greg and Gamma Derrick would gladly pay, except I allow no one to touch the finances but me. I hear the footsteps coming and know what is next so I try once again before I am

Nikki POV After ‘appetizers’ and breakfast in bed Frankie and I quickly showered and got ready for our day. We split off to do separate tasks. He was going to check on Kendall and I went to ask Luna Fran if I could accompany her to the hospital to visit the wounded councilmen. “Hey Fran, how are you this morning?” I asked when I found her sitting at the dining room table with a cup of coffee. “Good morning Nikki. I am doing well, thank you. Did you have a nice breakfast this morning?” I blushed at her question. “I did, it was very thoughtful of Frankie to do that. I was wondering if you were going to the hospital for a visit today?” She nodded as Cookie set a fresh cup of coffee in front of me with the creamer and a spoon. “I am just waiting for Emily and Maisey to be done with their sparring practice. Would you like to go?” I took a sip of my coffee and replied, “Yes, actually I would. I came to find you to ask if I could accompany you. Have you heard if the fourth councilman sur

Nikki POV I need a break. Everything has been in such chaos lately that I have lost contact with what is important and what isn’t. I messaged Jonas and asked him to grab the twins and meet me at K&T after they got out of school for the day. Of course when I walk in Ms. Kayla greets me with a smile and a hug. “Are you ok Nikki? You don’t seem your usual happy self?” She asks, looking me over. “I am fine Ms. Kayla, I just need a minute to relax and be normal. Everything has just been so busy since I got home that I haven’t had a lot of time to cherish the things I have missed about home,” I replied as I looked over the menu board. “How about I bring you some chai tea instead of your usual? There’s still a little pick me up but with a little mental floss added in,” she offered and got busy making the drink. I went to sit at our usual booth and wait for Jonas and the twins. I was thankful that Maisey understood that I wanted just a minute. I had given thought to the fact that I may not

Nikki POV “Frankie, is there anything that I can do to be helpful, since I don’t have my wolf yet?” Jonas asked while we finished our drinks. “How is your hand to hand coming along?” Frankie asked with a little smirk on his face. “Well I don’t think I would be punched in the balls in the first five minutes anymore,” Jonas said, popping his eyes in my direction. “Well I would be happy to test that theory, if you want,” I said nonchalantly, glancing in Jonas’s direction. Jonas shifted in his seat uncomfortably. “I don’t think I like the idea of you emasculating Jonas before I sample the goods Nikki,” Charity chided. “Okay before this conversation takes a turn down innuendo lane. I think I have something you can do, but how about you spar with me and I can evaluate your skills,” Frankie offered. “Well I don’t know how I will do compared to an Alpha, but sure at least I know as a guy you won’t go after the family jewels. When?” Jonas replied. Frankie looked at me and I just grinned inno
Last Updated : 2022-09-11The Blood Moon Luna Trade Proposal
Alpha Hollis POV This time when I surfaced, I knew it would be pointless to try to call for help. I could feel the silver bindings around my throat, wrists and ankles. “Good, you're awake. It’s time to go,” the voice said. My head was pounding and I felt weak, too weak to tolerate another round of wolfsbane. “Where are we going and how do we expect to get there?” I asked my captor. “I am going to remove the hood and we will walk, but first you must listen because if you don’t, I have no problem delivering your carcass to the wolves,” the voice said and I nodded in response. He yanked the cloth from my head, ripping some hair out with it. I was immediately blinded by the light in the room. When my eyes were finally able to focus without the spots dancing around in them, I saw my captor for the first time. He looked young, around the age of my kids if I were to guess. But that doesn’t really tell his age since vampires stop aging when they turn. He was tall, leanly muscled, with coff

Nikki POV When we arrived at the gates to the territory, we quickly shifted and dressed in the clothes that the guards brought out for us to put on. We stood as a unit. Alpha Kieran and Alpha Isha stood as the head with Frankie and Kendall flanking them. I stood to Frankie’s right with Maisey beside me and Gideon behind me with a hand on my shoulder, ready to pull me from harm at a moment’s notice. Tatum and Marcus took their places beside Kendall since Frankie’s flank was already taken. Alpha Kieran spoke first, “You requested a conversation with the Alpha? What is it you want?” The man that we could see said, “I want to trade one of your kind for one of mine.” I heard Gideon’s sharp intake of breath behind me and his grip on my shoulder tightened. It was then that I realized the man was another vampire. Gideon must view him as a threat and is preparing to remove me from the situation. Maisey shifted when she noticed Gideons slight movement. I hadn’t focused on everything that wa
Last Updated : 2022-09-12The Blood Moon Luna Getting to Know You
Gideon POV This has got to be the strangest thing I have ever encountered in all of my existence. I lost my life because of my involvement with Dakarai. I lost Alvaro because of his loyalty to his queen, Luis through depression by his own hand, and Phinneas through tragedy. Now after 231 years of loss, Hecate or maybe Selene wants to send me a mate? Someone who believes wolves are the enemy? Whatever god or goddess is at work here has a warped sense of humor. I won’t deny that he is handsome, but it will take more than a handsome face to convince me to keep him as my mate. Yes I feel a pull to Eilif and bond, but it isn’t like the wolf mate bond where every fiber of your being wants the person and only that person. Vampires are solitary creatures by nature and mate bonds are rare. I will just have to be cautious while I figure out whether to accept him or not. I am grateful that Alpha Kieran invited him to come and get to know us all, he really didn't have to allow that. Well I supp

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
