2024-10-29 19:42:56“Nina wake up, something is happening, something doesn’t feel right!” Raven whispered urgently.
Sitting up in my wolf form still since I didn’t have any clothes, I felt it. A very bad feeling. I assumed the bad feeling was Holly being Damian’s mate but now I wonder if it was more. Slowly we creeped out of our cave and strained my ears. I heard growing and smelled blood.
“Dad, what’s going on? I mind-linked my dad
“OMG NINA! Are you okay? Where are you? We are under attack! Get to the safe house NOW!”
Panic sank into me. I ran to our house and under the kitchen island is a bunker. I can clearly hear the growls and cries of wolves. I sink into the mattress we have there and wait it out. It happens, I feel a snap. I scream as loud as I can. I can’t believe it my MOM is dead! I felt her life being cut from mind. I hear my dad’s wails in the distance and I know he will not survive tonight either or will be dead in months. No one survives a mate dying. Your wolf will eventually go bad and you will turn Rouge. I didn’t think I have anything left to cry but I did. I cried for my mom and when I finally felt my dad’s connect snap I cried for him too. I am now an orphan, and my best friend is mated to my childhood lover. I cried till I passed out again. Raven kept watch in case she needed to protect me while I mourned.
It is finally morning and I wake up. This isn’t my bed I think and last night comes rushing back to me. I know I shouldn’t stay down here but I need to find my parents body and say goodbye. I walk upstairs looking at all the pictures my mom has hung on the wall and I lose it. I smash everything in sight. I am going to town when I feel strong arms around me holding me still. Tears are pouring out and I don’t have energy to fight with anyone.
“I got you Nina” Trevor said I was thankful it wasn’t Holly or Damian. I am not ready to face them yet. I quickly realized I am still naked and so does Trevor as he lets me go and turns around. I sprint to my room and put on black joggers and a sports bra and crop top. I pull on my Nike sneakers as Trevor walks in and sits down on my bed. He has been here before but it just feels different now. His sister will be Luna.
“I don’t know what to say Nina. I am so sorry about your parents. I am sure you already know. Holly had no idea what was going to happen. She feels like the worst person in the world. Damian in worse. He didn’t reject Holly but didn’t accept her either. Everyone assumed it would have been you…” his voice trailed off. We sat in uncomfortable silence for awhile.
“Take me to my parents” I said finally Trevor just looked at my and nodded. He was always like a brother to me and I let him put his arms around me and comfort me. We walked in silence and I kept my head down. I could feel everyone stares and I couldn’t look into the eyes that I am sure are fully of pitty. The girl whose boyfriend was mated to her best friend and lost her parents. I was going to be the packs member that everyone felt sorry for. I hit me right then that I wasn’t going to be able to take the Beta position. How could I? Work under Damian and Holly and watch their love story grow? I am not that strong. I guess Trevor was going to get a promotion. Finally we made it to where they were preparing for the funerals. Pack life is different. Here at the Red Moon pack we don’t have funerals in these situations. If someone dies of natural causes then yes but with warriors that die on the battle field get the honor funeral. Everyone gathers around. The Alpha will say a few words and then they will be set on fire. Their ashes fertilizing the ground in believe that we are giving back to the Moon Goddess by keeping her creations alive. Circle of life. Trevor was sent to come get me for the ceremony I realized in that moment as we approach the whole pack. He guilds me over to where my parents are.
“Nina” I hear softly, I turn and see Holly and a tear soaked face and Damian looking at me from behind her. Next to him is his parents the Alpha and Luna with sorrowful expression on their face. I can’t do this now so I just turn around and walk away to my parents. We lost 27 warriors altogether. I grabbed my parent’s wedding rings and my mom’s necklace she had on. I had giving to her for their 25th wedding anniversary. It was a simple single princess cute emerald on a white gold chain. Putting their rings on the necklace and I get Trevor put the necklace on me.
I hear the Alpha speak but honestly I am done being here. Zoning out I can’t help but think what will I do now? Do I stay in the same house? Where do I work? I know mom and dad had a saving saved up so I am not hurting for money but I can’t rely on it. I was planning on going to college anyway so maybe I will go to one outside of this state. I can’t stay here is all I know. Finally they start to get fire to the bodies and I watch my parents become ash. Well I know one thing for sure now. My mate is not in this pack. I would have smelled him today. I don’t know if I should be happy about that or not. Happy I am not going to be stuck here looking at Damian and Holly for the rest of my life but sad I will have to leave into the unknown to find him.
Trevor starts guiding me back home since I don’t want to go to the meal after. I can’t eat. Walking into the front door I find the couch and lay down. I hear a door shut and glass moving and I realized Trevor is cleaning up my mess. Working on auto piolet I stand up to help him.
“Nina, don’t. I can handle it. You need to eat and relax.”
Looking down I whispered, “I can’t sit still, I need to keep moving.”
“Okay, well, why don’t you make us some lunch since we missed the meal. He suggested
I nodded and went to work. I wasn’t really thinking and I just made everything. I started with boiling the noodles and cutting the chicken and adding it to the pan. While that was cooking I made the dough for chocolate chip cookies and had them in the oven by the time the noodles were done. My chicken was cooked and I added the Alfredo sauce and added the noodles. It is my stable mean and apparently everyone will say how amazing it is. It is another comfort food for me.
“Nina, we need to talk” I hear a high sqeeky voice from the door
I straighten my bad and prepared myself. I was not ready for this but here we go. Time to be the daughter my parents raised. And Since Raven as been absent from my mind all morning, I am on my own. She stayed up all night to make sure we were protected that she needed to sleep today.
Turning to look at Holly I can tell she has been crying. Her cheeks are red and nose from blowing her nose, her eyes are swollen and red. She is earing leggings and a tshirt and her hair is in a pony tail. Standing behind her is Damian. His eyes reflect the pain and turmoil he is in. Hearing black gym shorts and white wife beater looking sexy as ever. Trevor has his head showing from the door way with a nervous look to him. Like is she going to go all crazy? I had to smile internally cause that is exactly what I would do. I am born fighter, trained and at the top of my class. I wouldn’t be able to kill Damian or Holly but I could get a few hits in before I was pulled off. And they knew it. They were standing tense and waiting to see what I would do. Glancing nervously between them both.
Sighing I said, “Nothing to talk about. You guys are mates. You will not reject each other. Damian our fairy tale of love has come to an end, Holly our friendship is done, and I will be leaving here soon once I get everything in order. I can’t stay here and watch you two in a mate bond being in love and running the pack as Alpha and Luna even if I am not made Beta. Being Beta would be worse, having to work closely by your guys and seeing it every day. Trevor can be Beta. Zach can be Gamma. I wont be the pathetic ex-girlfriend you can’t get away from. I have more pride than that. I might eventually feel different about things but right now I need to not see you guys ever again.”
I finished my speech and Holly has a shocked and hurt expression on her face. She burst into tears and runs outside through the front door. Damian looks back at her and turns to look at me opening his mouth to say something but I stop him before he does.
“Just leave”
I feel a mind-link from Damian, I allow it through. “I am so sorry, I will forever love you, Please forgive me”
I shut if off and don’t reply. Looking out the window I see him bring her into a hug. He tilts his head and sees me watching through the window and gets a pained look in his eyes. All I can do is turn away before I head to bed and cry myself to sleep letting Trevor to clean the kitchen.

What the fuck happened to my life? I just can’t wrap my head around the last 48 hours. I just knew Nina was my mate so I allowed myself to fall in love with her. She was perfect. She would have been the perfect Luna to my pack, came from a good blood line and everyone loved her. Taking a sip of the whiskey I have in my hand and leaning on my knees bent over at my desk and I just fucking believe it! HOLLY? How is Holly my mate? I never really paid attention to her before. After all she is Trevor’s sister, bro code 101 right there. I am sure she is beautiful but I just never thought of her more than a sister. I can’t believe I had to find out that way too. Completely embarrassed Nina and the rumors going around about Holly right now are not good for her image. I just walked in with my gang and I saw Nina looking at Holly and I was thinking about breathtaking she looked in that dress. Then, out of no-where I smelled the most mouth-watering smell. Honey and citrus. My

My mouth is hanging open. She was quick to ditch her friend there. I mean, I guess I understand a bit. She has always pictured finding her mate and sealing the deal that night. Its not the fairest thing but it is a little shellfish too. I do feel like draw though and it would help ease the rumors going around. Fuck me. Before I even realize what is happening, she has her body pressed up against mine. I looked up since I am still in the chair and her lips touch mine. It was like a thousand bolts of lightening are shooting through my body. Colt is telling me to mark mate. She starts to thread her fingers through my hair. I know Nina has told her everything I like because she is doing all of them. I am quickly losing myself in the bond. Holly slides her legs on either side of me and moves closer till she is straddling me. Fuck, I love when a girl takes charge in the bed room. I just feels so right. I slowly caress my hands up she shirt feeling her flat stomach. She has on a lacy bra th

Nina’s POVI need to speak with Damian, I need to speak with Damian I keep repeating this to myself. Maybe if I actually believe something good will happen. Could I really ask him to reject his mate for me? Would I be able to reject my mate for him? This is so messed up, I need to see where his head is at. I know what I said to them and I am not sure I completely agree with what I said since I was completely pissed off and hurt but I should hear him out. The look in his eyes was pure pain. If anything I can get some comfort and start to accept this.Walking to the pack house, I am not in the mood to speak with anyone. Trevor said there has been rumors going around about Damian finding his mate and it wasn’t me but he rejected her. People are not happy if you reject your mate, very frowned upon. But it is me right, I am an exception. I am so lost in my thought I didn’t realize I am at the front of the packhouse. I was about to grab the handle but the d

Quiet. That’s all I hear as I open my eyes. No clinking of the pans from mom cooking, no newspaper shuffling from dad reading and no smells of coffee and bacon greeting me. I suddenly never felt so alone then I do right now. I don’t have Damian to mind-link for comfort. I am sure as hell not reaching out to Holly. I just can’t cope. Suddenly I hear the front door opening and swift steps coming to my door. Before I can even reach, Zach blows the bedroom door open with a shit-eating grin on his face!“Did I startle you?” He asked smugly. He knew he did by the face I have clutched the blankets up to my chin and my eyes were as wide as saucers.“Ass” I snorted as I eyed the bag he brought with him.“I assumed you were going to need some breakfast to start your day and a friendly face. Hurry up buttercup, I will get breakfast set up for you in the kitchen. Don’t take an hour to get ready either. I did not go out o

The rest of the week went by pretty quietly. Zach managed to bring breakfast over every morning and I made lunch and dinner. I have learned more about Zach and we talked and laughed together. I never realized I didn’t take the time to get to know him on more of a personal level since I was always focused on Damian. He always wanted to run a museum. His knowledge of old artifacts and events was astonishing. Apparently, the ring I was wearing was worth more than 1 million dollars. The Emerald was one that was smuggled into the U.S. and was lost in transit from unknown causes. I was more than a little skeptical. My parents said they saw it from an old lady in a small store and thought it would bring out my eyes. Surely, I was not wearing a million-dollar ring on my finger. Zach said after he saw it for the first time, he didn’t think anything of it but he was reading a book that described the ring and it was a pretty good description of my ring. Shaking my head, I laid down

Damian POVOkay, I didn’t really mean that. Shutting my phone and returning it to my pocket my mind is reeling. She fucking left, she actually left me. I do want her as my beta but I wouldn’t actually rape her. I know I marked Holly too soon. She is so whinny and annoying. No wonder I never really paid any attention to her. Turning I started walking back to the pack house and Holly is trailing behind me crying and fuming. I know what I said hurt her but damn, why can’t she understand this isn’t easy for me. I can feel her anger and I am assuming it is towards me but I know she is jealous of Nina. I do expect her to listen and return in a month. That should be long enough for her to accept this reality and I will tell her I didn’t mean it in a few days. I don’t think she will answer my calls right now anyway. I am hurting too and I said things I didn’t mean but Nina is a very forgiving person so I know she will accept my apology and ta

“ ‘The three bandits’ are a group of rouges you can call upon when you want to eliminate a target but don’t want to get your hands dirty. Most Alphas want to eliminate them ourselves since they cause so much destruction in their way but nothing has been done about them because there is no proof left behind that they are the ones that did it and two they have never been caught to even integrate. The fact that you guys even saw them before they attacked and lived to tell the tale is impressive.” Alpha Alex finished staring straight at us. We were seated around the kitchen table waiting for supper and Alpha Alex waisted no time in telling us what was happening.“I have never heard of them but I guess I haven’t been part of any pack business before.” I stated trying to rack my brains if my dad ever said anything about them. I remember like maybe 5 years ago dad coming home and saying something about 3 rouges on a killing spree but I

Well, that was information over load I thought to myself. My head is just about to explode with this information. Ugh, I need a shower. Opening a random door, I first find a closet. It was massive. A size of a standard bedroom, clothes lined three walls with the fourth wall was shelves. Shoes of different styles filled the shelves and a large mirror stood in the corner. There was even a couch in the middle with a vanity beside it and a range of makeup on it. Shutting the door, I chose again and was rewarded with being correct to my relief. It was a huge bathroom with floor to ceiling white tile with a grey marbling through it, a steam shower that ran off a tablet on the wall. The vanity was dark grey with white marbling through it as two sinks sat off to the side. Walking over to the tablet I turned the shower on and turned the steamer on high. Once I was satisfied with choosing a temperature other people would consider scolding, I undressed and slipped into the water. Standing unde

The Emerald Eyed Luna Chapter 102
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
The Emerald Eyed Luna Chapter 95
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
