I turned to leave when someone shouted. “We stand behind you, my Queen!” I turned to look to see many of the Alphas and Lunas bowing their heads. A few Alphas turned and left the arena but majority of them stayed.
“Leave your information with our front desk attendants before you leave here. They will provide you with our business card with our contact information. I will be sending out an email with updates on the ongoing situation with the council but a war is brewing. It is just a matter of time. Get your warriors ready!” Wyatt yelled to everyone. The other doors opened and allowed everyone to exit the area.
I grabbed Wyatt’s arm as we began to walk out. Something sticky was on his jacket. I pulled my hand away and it was colored in red. I let out a gasp as I realized, Wyatt had been shot!
“Holy fuck Wyatt! You got shot! You took the bullet for me!?”
It was then I noticed how pale Wyatt was and I looked behind m
Thank you all for reading! Please leave a gem and help me out!
We got home and I immediately went upstairs and took a shower where I bawled my eyes out until they were dry. I had no more tears to shed. My mate was lying in a bed at a random hospital and I couldn’t even be there to help him survive. I hated this war, hated being put in this place. That bullet should have been mine to endure. Lying in our bed, I reached over to Wyatt’s side and was met the coldness. Grabbing his pillow, I hugged it tightly. It smelled like him still and it comforted me a little. Tomorrow, I have to walk freely into the council’s arms and present myself to be questioned. Further away from where I feel like I should be at right now. I didn’t want go to before and now I really don’t want to go. I know I need to stay strong but damn if I have to like it. I, suddenly, felt really sleepy and so I closed my eyes. Next thing I know, I am in the most beautiful garden. Lush green grass, flowers of every color scattered around in a spiral, creating a path, l
It is time, I am currently standing at the edge of the council’s head-courters. Reed drove me here and stopped just short of them knowing we were there. It looked like a basic government building. Grey sided building with white windows and dark grey roof. It looked like it was one story but we both know the levels of basement that it came with. There was two armed security guards standing at the door and you could see multiple cameras scanning the area. The whole vibe of the building was deceiving as we knew what true horrors lies within. If a human found this building, they would thing it a normal government building that they were not allow to access. Only wolves could sense the darkness, blood and terror within these four walls. “Last chance to head back” Reed said quietly as we both stared. “You should know me better than that by now” I said without even looking at him “Yeah, I do but I wouldn’t be doing my promise to Wyatt by protecting you if I didn’t t
It was what seemed like hours before I heard the door unlock. I saw all five council men enter the room. By the time they arrived, Raven had healed my current wounds and ready for more. We took a healthy dose of some medicine the doctor said will help me heal faster but I was getting antsy not knowing what was exactly about to come. They all lined up and took their seats directly in front of me. Mason came up to me and took my gag out of my mouth and went back to his seat. I tried to moisten my mouth as best as could to get the fabric taste out.Grant signaled everyone to be quiet and he pressed a tape recorder and started recording us.“This is Grant with the four other council members here to question Nina McCoy on the fraud and money laundering of her pack.”“Old pack!” I interrupted“Silence! You will only speak when spoke to!” Turner said slapping his hand on the table“As I said” Grant kept goin
I jolted awake as my cell door opened up. Mary stepped in and had a tray with her. She placed it on my cot as I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. Mary had sat down on the other end of the cot and dangled her legs as she waited for me to eat. I saw scrambled eggs, toast and some lumpy looking stuff which I am assuming it is oatmeal. Grabbing the mush, I leaded against the wall and began to eat. “Can I ask you a question? Mary asked quietly “Go for it” I said between bites “You don’t have to answer, I am just curious.” Mary said as she played with the loose string on her shirt. I waited patiently for her to decide if she wanted to ask or not. “I overheard the council men talking last night. They were talking about you and how you are suppose to be our queen but instead you are under their mercy. I just I am wondering why you don’t just put them in their place?” She asked nervously. “Fair question.” I started trying to decide the right wa
The next morning, I woke up to Mary entering my cell again but this time she was supporting a black eye.“WHAT HAPPENED!” I yelled. I went to sit up and my whole body protested. Everything was stiff and cracked as I moved.“They came in last night and I was cleaning the room to make sure there was not finger prints or blood marks. Mason saw me and said I took to long to do my duties and hit me. It’s okay though, I have had much worse. This will heal in no time!” Mary said matter-factly.“You act like it is no big deal for you to get hit?” I said sadly.“This is my reality. That’s why I helped you. I knew what was going to happen but if you can bring a stop to this, I will do whatever I can to help!” She stated firmly. Mary sat breakfast down and sat down herself waiting for me to eat. It was the same stuff as before.“I am going to eat a nice juicy hamburger when I get out of here!&r
I drifted in and out of consciousness catching glimpse of the events around me. Every time I started to see things again, the pain of all my broken bones and injuries came back full force pushing me back into darkness. It was all I could do to even catch the glimpse of what was happening. Mary had been caring me, basically, as we ran to the check point. I remember watching her fall down and yell out in pain but I could remember from what. Justin’s face was something that jogged my memory as well. He was running towards us as someone from behind him was covering him with gunfire. Next thing I know, I am in the back of a vehicle on my back and my shirt was ripped open. The cold air attacked my open wounds. I hear the whimpers of Mary somewhere beside me. Looking around, and not being able to find her was hard. Was I imagining that? Or was it me that was whimpering? The bumps in the road hurt like a bitch every time they hit one. Hearing someone yell ‘faster! Faster!’
As the doctor left the room, Wyatt walked over to the couch and lifted up a bag and brought it to me. “I packed this for you. I knew you would wake up eventually so I came prepared.” He said like it wasn’t a big deal. “Oh, thank you!” I grabbed the bag and unzipped it. Bumping out the context of the bag revealed a pair of black shorts and a baggy t-shirt. The shorts were mine, they stopped about an inch below my ass but the shirt was his. I held it up to him with a questioning expression. Wyatt looked down and shrugged his shoulders. “I saw the injuries you have, I figured a baggy shirt was good so it didn’t rub against any of them. You have a decent cut under your breast so a bra was out of the question.” Using my index finger, I motioned for him to come closer. He obeyed and I grabbed his shirt and planted a soft kiss on his lips. After about a minute, he pulled away. “This will be a long week for me to keep my hands off you. Go get dressed.
I felt the bed shift and causing me to roll on my back. Groaning, peeking through my eye lids, Wyatt was trying to be quiet as he answered a phone call. He was walking quickly to the bathroom and shut the door. He must have been trying to be quiet but I still woke up. I slept the best I have ever slept I think! However, just that rolling had every inch of me aching. Damn, this soreness is no joke. I tried several times to use my arms to pull me up against the headboard but failed. Okay, I can do this! Two more tries later, I finally got it. I pulled a little on my stitches and that is what Wyatt saw when he finally came back out, me looking down my shirt. “Your tits haven’t changed any, still there!” he joked as he started the coffee pot. “Funny, I was making sure I didn’t rip a stitch out as I sat up. They look like they are dissolving anyway.” “Here, let me look” Wyatt said as he came over to me. I pulled my shirt up and grabbed my boob, lifting it
Thank you all for going down this journey with me. I have read each and every comment and appricated all the support and positive feedback I have recieved. This is my first ever book I have written and I really have learned a lot. I know the grammer and punctuation may not have been perfect but I will continue to get better and more knowledgable. I am currently working on a second book that I will hopefully post soon. I need to get a few more chapters written before I can publish it. I have read a few comment asking for a sequal to this book. I will loved to do that as well. Just know that this is not the last you have seen from me! Thank you again! Mrs. Smith UPDATE: The Sequal has been signed!!! The name of the book is called Emerald Eyed Luna: Grant's Revenge. I just signed it and if it isn't posted right now, you should see it in the next day or so. I found it on my laptop but not my mobile device as of right now but it will be available ASAP! Thank you!
A few days have gone by and it is time to lay our loved ones to rest. I had decided that I will get everything done in one day so after the funerals, we will be doing the trials as well. If I am going to get emotionally exhausted, might as well do it all in one day. I am not sure I will ever be okay with funerals and death but it is part of my job and my life now so I should probably embrace it. I was packing what I needed to take home. After the funeral and trial, we will be returning home to figure out how the pack will run. The palace is making great progress so in a few months, it should feel like a home for me. We haven’t told anyone about our pregnancy but I think after the trial, I will say a speech and let everyone know. Wyatt has been itching to tell people. I just chuckle every time he rubs my belly and nags me about it. I heard the bedroom door open and looked over to see Wyatt came back from seeing everything was done correctly. The funeral will be on the
Wyatt and I walked hand in hand back toward the packhouse. Neither one of us said a word, just walked with our army behind us. I let all the emotions swarm around me as I let what just happened sink in. The pitch black of the night mirrored our feelings as a whole. Lives were lost tonight and the mastermind behind everything was finally exposed and eliminated. Turns out, there was an abandoned building about half of a mile into the woods. As we walked back, the forest was silent. The power radiating off of Wyatt and myself was suffocating to those in our path. We were hurt, broken hearted and tired. Grant took so much from both of us in different forms. Reed walked right behind us, carrying an unconscious Kelly like she was the most precious package. There are still so many things to address now but the main feeling of doom has finally left me. Tonight, I am going to mourn my losses but tomorrow we will look ahead at a brighter future. As the packhouse came into view
I just can’t believe it. I just can’t. Why Brooke, why? Staring at them laying on the floor, tears ran down my cheeks. I couldn’t give Kelly up. She was carrying a baby and already had head trauma. I don’t understand any of this. I laid Kelly down but still in my protective shield. Checking her head, I saw the bleeding had stopped but she was pale. I focused all my attention to the baby to see if I could feel him or her. I heard a small heartbeat and a hint of an emotion. Calmness? I couldn’t be sure but I felt the baby. I knew instantly it was a boy as well but I will keep that information to myself. Satisfied she was going to be okay, I stood up and started looking around. It was the basic set up from the room I was tortured but I feel like we didn’t walk that far so we can’t be terribly far from the packhouse. ‘Wyatt is coming, he said to just hold on a little longer.’ Raven assured me ‘Why Grant?’ I asked her just completely confused. ‘Did you know?’ ‘Som
“Ladies and gentlemen! It gives me great pleasure to present to you, your new King and Queen!” Theresa announced. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, a gun went off and I felt it coming straight for my heart. It was like the world slowed down and everything was in slow motion. Wyatt leaped in front of me, trying to shield me from the attack but I had my eyes locked on the bullet that was headed straight for me. The room was filled with shocked and scared expressions but my focus was the bullet. As it inched closer, I felt this internal need to protect my baby. The only problem was, I didn’t know how. I felt an explosive energy leave my body and surround Wyatt and myself. It had hues of green and silver swimming around the sphere that surrounded us. The bullet hit the sphere and simply fell to the ground. My baby produced a force shield that protected his dad and mom. I knew this was not me doing it but it was the baby protecting us. Just how powerful
“Nina! It is time!” Autumn called from behind me. I was standing in front of a long mirror, trying to recognize myself. My hair was flawless pulled to the side and braided. Loose curly strands of hair framed my face and neck. The makeup was light and elegant with a little more dramatic eyeliner. Nude covered my lips, fingertips and toes. The shoes matched my jewelry perfectly. The girls had placed a shimmering lotion on my arms, chest and back making me slightly sparkly when the light hits my skin. The dress fit my perfectly and was the right balance of my personality and what a queen should look like. The only thing to make this better was if my mother was here. “Oh yeah, I am!” I said giving myself one last look. This is it, it’s time! I turned and saw Autumn with a smile on her face and a tear in her eye. “You are so beautiful! I know your mother would have been proud of you. Thank you for letting me make these things special for you. It is truly an honor.” Autumn
Today was the day! Today represents change that is about to come to all. A new beginning! I laid in bed, trying not to make a movement or sound to alert Wyatt that I was awake. I needed a few minutes to myself to wrap my head around everything. We have fought so hard to get to this day and now it doesn’t seem real. I am not happy about the branding but it guess it is what it is. Wyatt was PISSED off. I felt his anger through the bond. I am sure there will be a lot of things about this job that will upset him but I feel has long as I have my support system, I will be able to handle anything. The only thing I am worried about is the guest list. I assume they needed to invite all the Alphas and Lunas. I know they had to invite Damian and Holly but surely, they wouldn’t show… or anyone else that may not like me? Samantha really isn’t much of a threat so I can’t say I am that worried about her. If she even had the balls to show up here, I will handle her just fine. “I kno
“Let’s wait and see what happens. Right now, all we have is circumstantial at best. I want to actually catch them in the act.” I said as I sipped on my whiskey “How will we do that?” Reed asked. He had downed his second drink and was already on a third. “The big finale has still yet to happen. I can feel it, something big is still going to happen.” I said in an ominous voice. “How long have you known?” Wyatt said with a hint of annoyance “First off, the feelings I get did not go away when we got Devin and them all. Second, it’s not like I have been waiting a week to tell you. A lot has been going on. Third, you never asked either. However, I can just feel like something is going to happen and this person is going to make their move. If it is Zach, I don’t see what he would get out of it. Even if he kills me, he is not the right bloodline to take over. Maybe he wants to kill Wyatt and myself so he would have been Alpha, and get the money?” I said think
Walking in, I saw two men and a woman standing off to the right laughing together. One was shorter, grey hair, full beard and looked to be around 65. The second man was taller, around 6 foot, brown hair with grey peppered in there and wrinkles covering his face. He looked to be older, around 70 years old. The woman was stunning with her bleach blonde hair, average height and build with hints of wrinkles liner her forehead. They all turned to look at us when we entered the room “Oh my! You are so beautiful! My name is Theresa! This is Ed and Harry. We are so pleased to finally meet you!” Theresa said as she rushed over and gave me a hug. I was so stunned; I didn’t react at first but I quickly got my wits about me and gently hugged her back. “It is very nice to meet you all!” I said politely “Come child, no reason to be so formal! We like a relaxed atmosphere.” Said Ed, he was the older looking guy. “This is my mate, Wyatt. Kelly is her sister and her m
