1921 - Seer
"Another fated one has denied his destiny, we remain under Vampire rule for another one hundred years."
I peered into the hot liquid and ran a finger down the steaming pot, watching carefully as the ripple expanded.
"I fear a repeat of history, the next chosen ones give me a bad feeling, they may not be ready in time."
"They have to be." I looked around for the source of the voice, but as always I saw no one. As the moon goddess no mortal ever saw her face, very few were deemed worthy enough to even hear her. "We only get one chance a century to diminish the Vampire King. If we do not succeed in the next century, we are all doomed. The Vampires will eventually rule for eternity."
"But Moon Goddess-"
"No Anastasia! You've seen what lies ahead if we are to fail, they will wipe out the entire werewolf community one by one until we are no more...and then they will come after you." I bowed my head low to show I understood. Suddenly the brew began to bubble, signifying it was ready. I reached into the liquid and rinsed my face for the first time in one hundred years. I could feel my features changing as I began to evolve in response to the current time period, 2021. The new uprising was beginning.
"It's time."
I woke up with a throbbing headache.Opening my eyes I squinted at the shrill of light attacking my pupils from my bedroom window. A yawn escaped my lips as I wiped the tiredness from my eyes.Damn, officially the worst hangover ever.I swallowed a couple of times, swirling my tongue around my dry gums to generate some saliva.Scratching my head, I unsuccessfully attempted to arrange the unruly strands, eventually allowing the unattractive mop of hair to remain.I jumped as I felt movement next to me, turning around I looked down at the blonde lying next to me, her curly mass of disorderly hair was spread across the pillow, tickling my arm. I nudged her a couple of times before she g
I froze. My breath hitched as he stalked closer towards me, so close I could feel the outline of solid muscle beneath his shirt. He growled lowly, wrapping a thick arm around my waist, his head lowering to the crook of my neck. I shivered as his warm breath hit my skin, sparking a jolt of electricity throughout my body.I gasped as his hot tongue flicked the column of my neck, his lips tracing over the trail of fire he had left on my skin. Now his hands were twirling around my hair and he was smelling me. I couldn't mirroring his actions. By now I should have made a move to stop him, but I couldn't, the feel of his lips against my skin, his body so close to mine - my mind was clouded and I felt weak amidst is touch."Mine." He whispered huskily, burying his nose into the nape of my neck and inhaling. I shrieked as I was suddenly spun ar
Jax said we were going to his pack, the closer we got to the destination the more I wanted to shatter the window and jump out."So you're telling me, my father just gave me up, toyou?" I asked, utter disbelief lacing my tone.He looked at me with clenched fists, now obviously irritated by my persistence. "For thefifthtime, yes he did. He didn't tell me why, he didn't say anything. He simply gave me permission to take you with me."Bullshit.My father wouldn't just give me up without at least talking to me at first. Jax must have done something, most likely threatened the safety of my pack. If he thought his threats would get me to feel anything other than hatred towards him, he was sorely m
Seer"Should I intervene?""Not yet, she's still adjusting, keep in mind her young age. We can't bring this upon her yet.""But she's resisting, her family's tainted legacy won't allow her to succumb to the mate bond and give birth to the Fated.""Be patient Anastasia, we have been doing this for over two thousand years, a chosen has never failed to conceive the fated. Don't ever doubt me." The room began to shake, portraying the moon goddess' anger."Of course not, my goddess." I bowed. My heart began to pound alarmingly, the Mood Goddess was the only one who could bring out the fear I always kept hidden, without her powerful presence, I would never have been famili
I refilled the glass with my second serving of whisky, the dream had come back again. Matthew's face, his words - warning me to stay away.Since I had found my mate, Matthew hasn't left my side, he has been in my head and in my dreams, constantly reminding me of the doom that awaits if I am to give in to the mate bond."I don't think Alpha Jax will be too happy to see you drinking Luna, especially this early in the morning." A voice chided, grabbing the glass from my hand and emptying it into the sink.It was Derek's mate, it might be my warped perception but her belly appeared to be three times bigger than the last time I saw her."Twins" She stated, as if reading my mind running a protective hand over her belly.
I flinched at the sound of glass smashing.Jax was in that room, his roars of anger echoed throughout the pack house.I sipped on my glass of wine, trying to block out his loud rants.I knew I should have been in there with him. My presence was thought to be a calming mechanism for him. The pull of a mate was definitely a life line, drawing two people and binding them together whether they liked it or not.However it was just that, a line and I would surely find a way to cut it soon.I couldn't stand it, this pack was unfamiliar and an involuntary choice. As much as they tried to make me feel welcome, some things you can't force.I watched passively as Jax stormed out of his office, the stress clear on his face. He was alone in that room and still managed to reach the peek of his temper. Alpha males were a complex equation I'd never be able to decipher.I looked on until he was out of sight, my arms stretched along the sofa casually.
I turned my face away from the sickening sight, bile rose to tip of my throat and I felt an overwhelming wave of nausea."All children must remain in their rooms, not one of them leaves until I say so." Jax ordered, all the mothers nodded vigorously before returning to their children."You too Felicity. Go to the room and stay there till I return."I shook my head. "Let me stay, I want to help."We had just been discussing the imminent danger to our pack and now it lays here right in front of us. Since last week, contact between us has been minimal, but in this moment my Luna just wanted to be by his side at all times, especially now I knew his internal fears and worries.He held my chin up with the crook of his finger. "No, it's too dangerous, I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you. Now go, please, I don't want to argue about this with you." I hated how no matter how much I voiced my position to him, he would always act like a
"But how?" I questioned, pacing around her room, baffled. It was not possible, but still it existed before me, in the palm of Maria's hand. "We used to go there about once a month, but since they tightened security in their territory we haven't been able to get close. Richard eventually became impatient and decided to go in by himself." She muttered the last bit sadly, partly angry that her mate had decided to go alone without her knowledge. "I've heard stories, but I'm not really sure how it's made, the last one was thought to have been used thirty years ago." I stared at the crimson mixture, transfixed by the power a single bottle held. These mixtures were created in order to kill vampires, working from the inside it seeps through the skull and fries the brain. The last one was thought to have been used to kill the Vampire King's son in 1987, the closest a werewolf has come to regaining dominion since a millennium. Since then no werewolf has been able to co
Being Luna while the Alpha was away came with so many responsibilities. I had to attend all the meetings concerning the upcoming war with the vampires and trust me, there was a lot.It's been exactly a week since Jax left and he still isn't back. I don't understand how an Alpha can just pack his bags and leave his pack unattended. He knows that the vampires have been targeting us, however he still chooses to leave. Alpha of the year everybody!Training with Derek has intensified, its now been bumped to twice a day for two hours instead of one. Even though Jax isn't here, he still thinks he can send Derek little messages telling me what I can and cannot do.I've improved a lot, I now spend more time on my feet than on my back. Derek has noticed to, as he no longer spends his time constantly on his feet. On frequent occasions, I've been able to knock him down.We were about to start our last spar of the day. I watched Derek get up - after I had tackled him
Alejandro's POVI entered the cell, a glass of water in my hands. Approaching the sleeping witch, I kicked his side in order to wake him up.He woke up with a jolt, opening his eyes wide as he scanned the dimly lit room in alarm. "What did you see?" I asked, placing the glass on the other side of the room. My voice cut through the silence and he immediately peered up in my direction.A glint of amusement shone in his eyes and the look of panic vanished just as quickly as it appeared. "When I'm speaking to someone, I find it common etiquette to maintain eye contact as we talk; it brings a sense of mutual respect to the conversation, so if you could turn on the light I'd be extremely grateful." The witch always spoke with a tint of humour in his voice. He was a spiteful old man who enjoyed watching me boil in anger, if only he wasn't the key to gaining leverage over the werewolves, I would've disposed of him a long time ago.Without a word, I switched on th
I'm Jaxon, Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, the strongest and most dominant pack in the world. Yet I can't seem to display such qualities to my own pack. I haven't been focused lately and the steadfast mindset I once had is now wavering. All because of one girl, my mate, Felicity Stone. Since I could remember, my parents have taught me the importance of a mate, the unbreakable bond created between two single souls. I always envisioned the mate bond as the most beautiful and precious thing the moon goddess could give two people and the thought of breaking such a gift was unthinkable. But Felicity's words, they bothered me more than I thought they would, to the point that it even effected my responsibilities as an Alpha. I waited a few days, exercised and worked twice as much, hoping to rid her soft voice from my ear to no avail. Felicity was right, I was with someone before I met her and I mercilessly ended it because I thought that was how it was supposed to be once you've found
I hadn't heard from Matthew since the other night and frankly it didn't ease my worries.The burden of carrying such a secret still weighed heavily upon me and I was constantly on edge, waiting for the next attack. I had been trying to convince myself that keeping this secret was for our future, giving up Maria's identity would only allow the Vampires to launch a mass attack on our pack in order to destroy the poison.Maria had been MIA since she revealed all she and her husband had done. Not sure if she was doing alright, I decided to pay her a visit, curiosity getting the better of me.Knocking on the door I jumped when someone immediately shouted. "Go away!" I thought about leaving, but I needed to know how she was doing, so I knocked again.I heard heavy footsteps approaching and stepped back, unsure whether the person would swing at me once the door was open."What part of-" A short woman opened the door, her small frame glared at me and I fel

"I'm so happy to see you!" I laughed as Michelle jumped onto me, embracing me in a tight hug."Me too I've missed you so much Mich" I smiled at my childhood bestfriend only now realising how much I missed her."Come, sit, tell me everything, how come you're back?" She gestured me towards her bed and we sat down. I proceeded to tell her everything right down to the curse and the Vampire poison.Michelle believed in the legacy, but not so much the curse. She agreed our family legacy was filled with mate tragedies, but viewed it as just that, tragedies."I can't believe the dreams have started again" She rubbed my arm soothingly, probably remembering everytime she had to rock me back to sleep and cool my body with a damp towel when I had
Flashback They locked me the loft, it was only me in the room, a small patch of glass allowed me to see what was going on outside. Everyone was fighting; I couldn't tell who was who since they were all in werewolf form. My wolf side had yet to fully develop, it made me vulnerable as I was unable to fight nor could I communicate with other members of my pack. I couldn't smell much other than the build up of dust that accumulated in the small room causing my nose to wrinkle, I sneezed. I had climbed on to one of the chairs so I could see what was going on. I bit the inside of my cheek as I concentrated on balancing on my tippy toes and peering through the small box window in the corner of the room. I wish I hadn't. Nothing but death stared me in the face, people were gnashing their teeth at one another, clamping their huge jaws into each other's throats. I could hear a mixture of whimpers and growls, it was chaos and I couldn't understand what
I opened one throbbing eye to find Derek staring down at me, his hands motioning for me to get up.I shook my head, my chest rising and falling rapidly as I stared up at the ceiling, my back flat on the floor.It had been my second spar with Derek and each result was the same - with me sweating like a pig, sprawled out on the ground."Come on Luna, Alpha Jax said we don't stop until you get it right." I remained still. I never realised how much comfort the cold hard ground could bring me."The longer you take to get up, the longer we spend here." He said nonchalantly, kneeling down and staring at my goofy position. I was both mentally and physically drained.Fisting my hands I placed them on the ground and pushed myself up. "You want a fight tough guy, you've got one." I put two fists in front me and shook a stray lock of hair from my face.Derek smirked, opening his arms wide as a signal for me to come get him. Letting out a war cry, I char
Alejandro's POVA gaping hole stared at the faces of my subjects. My canines elongated and I knew my eyes had turned a molten black."How could you? How could you let them get so close?" I erupted, slamming my palms on the table as I stood up."Your majesty, you know how the youngsters are, as soon as they get a grip on their abilities, it's hard to keep track." One of the men spoke, his head bowed low as he spoke.I glared at the man, watching his quivering form while I shook with anger. "Well you see what that has caused, you see the shit we're in now?" I bellowed, uncaring that my voice could be heard by the rest of the castle."But your majesty-" before he could
