2024-10-29 19:42:56Tristan looked at me, asking if I was ok with revealing Andrew’s actions. I nodded, it was time. He turned to the crowd, using his Alpha voice to get everyone’s attention, “Listen everyone! We have all heard the rumors of the Red Moon pack and how they handle some of their pack members. There is truth in them, but it’s not some of the members, it's just one. And she happens to be my mate, Alyce Lilly.”
“Alpha Andrew has allowed other pack members to bully her, beat her, and string her up for days, even weeks at a time. They have used whips and knives dipped in wolfsbane on her, as well as silver chains to both repress her wolf and to scar her.” He took my hand, leading me to step up onto a table so the crowd could see me. He stood in front of me, staring into my face to distract me. I undid the buttons on my shirt, pulling my braid to the front and slipping the shirt off my shoulders so the crowd could se
A.CampbellI appreciate everyone's patience in waiting for me to get this chapter out. I hit a bit of a wall in trying to figure out how I wanted to progress the story and I was also editing and combining the previous chapters as well. As I've said before I try to update regularly, but quality is super important to me as well. I will continue to try and keep you all in the loop when progress slows for whatever reason. My readers are as important as the story!

~Tristan~ I sat down in a chair, pulling Alyce into my lap as I scanned the crowd looking for Kami. I saw her dancing with one of the Dark Forest pack, seemingly enjoying herself now that the drama was over for the night. Titus was chatting with their Beta, keeping an eye on Kami. “Mat, now that I have found Alyce, I will be taking over my pack from my father soon. I would like you to consider taking the Beta position. Our current Beta has twin girls, and neither wants to take the role when they know they will leave upon finding their mates.” Mat’s jaw dropped at my offer, “I would be honored, but I would not want to step on anyone's toes, especially as an outsider coming to the pack.” “I promise, you would be stepping on no one’s toes.” “We’

Tristan was sitting on the bed, one of my books in his hands. I arched my brow at the sight as I walked to my bag and grabbed my brush, “I didn’t take you as the reading type.” He looked up at me and smiled, setting the book aside, “I’m full of surprises. Secretly, I was a nerd as a teenager.” “Hmmm, I think I’m going to need proof of this before I believe it.” I sat down on the wooden chest at the foot of the bed and started to work on brushing my hair out. “I’m afraid I destroyed the evidence long ago, so you will just have to take me at my word.” He scooched down the bed, coming to sit behind me as he took my brush from me, “Let me help.” “You don’t have to do that. I have a lot of hair, you might not have the muscles for it.” I teased him.

We couldn’t have been asleep for more than a few hours when I woke to her whimpering and tossing in her sleep. I lifted myself up on my arm, watching her for a moment, “Alyce, wake up love, you’re ok. You’re safe.” She didn’t seem to hear me as she growled and thrashed in her sleep. I reached over and grabbed her, wrapping her in my arms so she wouldn’t hurt herself, “Alyce, come on, wake up. It’s just a nightmare.” I shook her a little bit and pulled her head into the crook of my shoulder so she would catch my scent. She let out a stifled scream, her as flying open, “No, no, no!” she wiggled against my arms and I let her go, not wanting her to think she was being forced into something again. She rolled away from me, sliding off the bed to her feet, and I could hear her heart beating rapidly against her chest. Her eyes darted around and finally settled on me

“Kami, will you peel and slice potatoes please? Try to make the slices the same width so they cook evenly.” “On it!” She hopped right to work. I started the coffee pot while giving Victor his instructions, “Victor, I need you to crack 3 dozen eggs, add one cup of half and half, and 2 cups of shredded cheese then mix it all together for an egg scramble.” “You got it.” I set about dicing up bacon and putting it in a large nonstick skillet with some ground sausage. When the meat was done I added in the potatoes that Kami had prepared and seasoned it all with some salt, pepper, garlic, onion and basil. Lastly, I added the scrambled egg mix when the potatoes were about done. The grease from the meat sizzled as the eggs made contact and I started mixing everything in the p

~Tristan~ We stopped for lunch at the halfway point, Alyce being kind enough to get clothes out for each of us as we all slipped behind trees to shift back. She had pulled out the extra burritos from one of the packs and looked at me, “Do we have time to start a fire and warm them, or are we eating a cold lunch?” I glanced at the sky, “If we can be moving again in an hour then we should be fine.” “That should be doable, these won’t take long.” She set to work collecting some kindling and wood, finding a suitable place to make a fire. In less than 10 minutes she had a decent one going. She lined half the burritos up along the edge of the fire, using stones to keep them off the ground, “Is there a river nearby? I’d like to get some water to put this out before we leave.” “Maybe half a mile

~Alyce/Faelyn~ It was about an hour after sunset when we reached the borders of the Moonlight territory, and even in my long sleeve shirt and sweater I was shivering a bit. There was a thin layer of frost covering the ground and the plants in the area. I suspected winter came early this far north. I laid myself down along Tristan’s back and snuggled into his thick fur. *Are you cold, Half-Pint?* His voice came across our mind-link. *A little, but I’ll be ok. How much further is it?* *Maybe a 20 minute run, we just crossed the border.* *Ah. Mat, Faith, Jake and myself need to renounce Red Moon then.* *We can deal with that a little later. For now just relax. We’ll be there soon.*

Tristan and I continued down the hall to our room. When he opened the doors and I stepped in, getting a full view of the room I was in awe. There was a king size bed on the right hand wall and a balcony with french doors directly across from the bedroom door. The wall to the left had three doors. I assumed one was the closet and one the ensuite bathroom. I wasn't sure about the third one though. There was a large seating area that was in a recessed area on the left hand side of the room. A 55” TV hung on the wall between the closet and the bathroom. The whole room was done in forest green with dark brown accents. The carpet was green and plush. “Wow, this is like its own apartment. All it’s missing is a kitchen.” I giggled and looked back at him with a smile. “Actually…” He pointed to the mysterious third door. “There’s a small kitchen through there. Nothing

I took a moment to look around the office. The east and west walls were lined with built-in shelves, the entrance was on the north wall and the south wall was the exterior wall. It had a large picture window that the desk sat in front of. Instead of blinds there were curtains in here, which allowed some more flexibility for how much light was let in and from what angle. “Good evening everyone,” Daemon stood from where he was sitting behind the desk when we entered. There was a tall woman standing with him, I assumed she was Tristan’s mother. She was taller than most she-wolves, about 6’5” with dark, dark red hair. It nearly looked like it was black it was so dark a red. Her eyes were a piercing sky blue and judging by her muscle structure she was a fighter. Daemon took her hand and came around the desk with her, “Let me introduce my mate and wife to you, her name is Ivy.”

It seemed like time flew by in the coming days. Ivy and I had spent much of it in the Luna’s Library, scouring records and documents for any bit of information we could find. That was a task in and of itself and produced little concrete information.We had found a few mentions of confirmed traits and skills in the previous Crimson Wolves as well as mentions of potential Fae traits as well. We used the information we found and the bits and pieces that Ivy recalled from her time spent with my mother and the Fae that would come into the region to create a list of potential skills I, and even possibly Rian, could end up with.I explained to Ivy about the change in my eyes the previous week and we had tried to keep a vigilant eye out for information on that particular oddity, but no luck. We sat down at one of the tables where we had been taking notes and organizing them.“So we have a decent list after our days of hard work.” Ivy smiled at me as I rested my chin in my hand, worn out from

It was roughly half an hour before I had the burritos all made up, including some for the boys when they returned, keeping them warmed in the oven, not that we would necessarily tell them right away. It was another half an hour before we heard the boys coming down the hall, “Rian! Walking feet please!” Tristan scolded him in a manner that was firm, but gentle as it carried down the hall. “Sowwy Daddy.” Rian called back. He sounded closer and I assumed he had run ahead of the others in his excitement. I heard the door knob wiggle and Kami got up to unlock it and let Rian in. She reached out and scooped him up, shutting and locking the door again just as Brandon got to it, essentially slamming it in his face. “Oh come on girls! Let us in!” Mat sniffed the air. “I smell breakfast… Aly! Did you make what I think you made!?” he hollered at the door. Kami and I were giggling on the other side of it. She carried Rian to the table and set him up with his own smaller burrito, “There’s a

It was a good 30 minutes before Brandon and Kami made it to the dining hall. Both of them were soaking wet. He had actually dumped her in the lake! And joined her for that matter. Whether or not it was voluntary on his part or she drug him in with her was yet to be known. My eyes widened as the two of them came walking in the back doors of the dining hall. Tristan’s brows furrowed at my expression. Mat and Cedric were sitting across from us and thus could not see Brandon and Kami walk in, both looking perplexed at me and Tristan as well. It was only a moment or two before whispers and some scattered snickering filled the hall at the sight of the soaking wet pair. “He actually did it…” I pointed towards the two, drawing the boys’ attention to them. Mat and Cedric turned, not even trying to hide their amusement at the sight. Kami was trying to maintain a scowl as Brandon was laughing and teasing her. Cedric got up and headed out of the dining room, towards the downstairs shower room.

“Good morning, Alyce darling.” Faith hugged me tightly.Jake wrapped me into a hug and lifted me off my feet, causing me to squeal in surprise and laugh. He set me back on my feet, kissing the top of my head. “You look like you’re adjusting well.”“I am, thank you.” I smiled up at him and he mirrored it, “How are you two enjoying your new space? Is everything working out ok?” I really wanted them to feel comfortable in their new home and pack.“It’s wonderful Alyce, really. Stop fretting.” Faith smiled reassuringly.“Good. Be sure to let me know if you need anything. Promise me. You two have taken care of me for years. Now I get to take care of you, even if only in some small way by comparison.”“Nonsense. You’re the daughter we always wanted. We’re family.” Jake’s tone implied that was the end of that. I just smiled.Tristan pulled me into his side and kissed my temple. “And I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful family you have.”“We have.” Faith corrected him. This just made

~Alyce/Faelyn~ The alarm went off at 5am, stirring me into a semi-conscious state and eliciting a groan of protest from me. I was currently laying on Tristan’s chest, his arms wrapped around me like he was afraid I might escape in the night. His fingers were playing up and down my spine, his eyes still closed as I snuck a peek up at him from beneath my lashes. “Good morning, gorgeous.” He murmured softly, still not bothering to open his eyes or make a move to get out of bed. “How did you know I’m actually awake? I could have just been shifting in my sleep?” I slid up his body enough that I could press my lips against his softly. “Good morning.” “I could feel your eyes on me. I can always feel your eyes on me when you’re looking at me.” A coy smile formed on his lips as he opened his eyes to look at me. “Not my fault I can’t keep my eyes off you.” I laughed and rolled off his chest, sitting on the bed next to him. I knew without looking that his smile had grown wider at my laugh. S

~Alyce/Faelyn~ Kami and I had checked the rec room, to find it pretty well deserted. No sign of the boys. So we passed through and continued on our way to the dining room, Rian between us, holding both our hands. We would occasionally swing him up off his feet as we walked, eliciting a giggle from him. We paused in the doorway to the dining room, both of us looking around, expecting to see the boys. There was no sign of them. There also seemed to be less people than normal in the room. “Odd, they’re not here either… So where are they?” Kami asked. “And everyone else for that matter.” I scooped Rian up into my arms and crossed the hall with Kami. “Also a good question.” One of the older kitchen staff caught my eye as we walked through and motioned to the doors to the back lawn with an amused grin on his face. I smiled at him and gave a nod in thanks. We headed to the doors, slipping out them to find a small crowd of pack members watching Tristan, Cedric and Mat dog pile on Brando

I pulled her into my arms and wrapped them around her tightly, holding her close. She instantly buried her face against my neck, inhaling my scent. After a few moments her aura receded and she lifted her head, looking up at me. Her eyes had changed, well one had anyway, her left one was now a translucent red instead of her usual translucent pale green. I didn’t try to hide the shock on my face. “What is it? What’s wrong?” She looked at me, searching my face for the answer. “Your eyes Aly… They’re different…” “What do you mean they’re different?” She glanced over at the others as if looking for confirmation. “Holy shit Aly, one is red!” Mat jumped off the couch, walking over to inspect her eyes. “What?” She jumped out of my arms and ran to the bathroom to look at them in the mirror. “How?” *Aramyth, do you know anything about this?* She did notice the mind link did not cause her eyes to haze over at all though and she could track both the internal and external going ons. That wou

Mat, Cedric and I were waiting on the front steps as Alyce and the group pulled up to the pack house. We had gathered a handful of Omegas to help with the unloading as well. I could see Will driving, and once he had come to stop, our group descended down the stairs to meet them. “Daddy!” I could hear Rian’s excited proclamation as I opened the rear door. I chuckled a little and couldn’t help but draw in a breath as I was also greeted with Alyce’s radiant smile as well. “Hello my loves. Did you two have fun?” I helped Alyce out of the truck before reaching in to undo Rian’s buckles and help him out as well. “Yeah! I got two selfs!” Rian took my hand pulling me towards the back of the truck where everything was. “It wasn’t the worst shopping trip I’ve ever had to endure.” Alyce giggled at Rian’s actions as she spoke. “Whoa Rian. Slow down.” I scooped him up into my arms, laughing a bit myself. “I know you’re excited, and I am super excited to see what you picked out, but let’s get

~Tristan~ We listened to the ring on the other end of the line. Titus, Brandon and I collectively held our breath as we waited. I had put the call on speaker phone after instructing both of them to be quiet and merely listen. A gruff voice picked up on the third ring, “Silver Moon, Alpha Lucian speaking. State your business.” I’m not sure what I was expecting, but that wasn’t it. I quickly recovered from my momentary lapse of speech, “Good evening Alpha Lucian. This is Alpha Tristan of Moonlight Pack.” “I see. What can I do for you, Alpha Tristan?” Lucien was cold and sounded as though he was irritated by the phone call. “I have a pack member who is looking to find a chosen mate. His fated mate passed away many years ago. He is originally from Silver Moon and was hoping to perhaps visit his home pack and start his search there. I would, of course, never expect you to invite a virtual stranger, original pack member or not, into your lands without meeting them first. So I was calli
