View MoreLuna's POV:
I arose slowly from the bed I had been lying in. My head was pounding and my body felt like it had been ripped in two. I stand in the doorway to my private bathroom, looking in the mirror at my bruised and beaten body. There were fresh bruises on top of old ones and the corner of my lip was bleeding. I lived in a small town in Wisconsin with the Connery Family. They took me in when I was in my third year in college. I had moved abroad with my parents after high school to study business. In my third year I had to move due to financial issues after my parents died and the Connerys took me in so I could finish school. I finished my last year of school in the states and I haven't been able to leave since. I've managed to keep my inheritance a secret from the Connerys for fear of what may happen if Samael found out. I'm 22 now and like me the Connerys weren't normal. They were werewolves or wolves as we call ourselves, and they have deep connections in the area.
My mother was a witch and my father was a demon and somewhere down the ancestral line that only shows up once every so many generations were some relatives that were wolves. I am blessed with being all three, if you could call it a blessing. Being part wolf meant that the Connerys eldest son, Samael, thought he owned me despite me not being his destined mate. Samael had a younger brother named Seth, and although he also didn't have a mate he was much kinder to me than Samael. Samael was the Alpha of the pack and like his fur his heart was black. He was merciless. He used me and my body as he wanted when he wanted with no regard to my pleas for him to stop. Then other days he would parade me around and show me off like he was the luckiest man alive. My head and my heart were in chaos as I quietly cleaned myself up and got dressed. This has been my hell for over a year and I wonder if I will ever escape.
There are clans all across the globe and we are all supposed to work in unison to maintain the code. The code is a list of laws and guidelines all creatures must follow. And contrary to popular belief demons, witches, and wolves aren't evil creatures to be feared. Demons and witches work very closely together to make sure that peace remains in the mortal realm. Most people fear us or pretend we don't exist so they can go on living their lives blindly. But there are those who are very aware of our existence and they help us in maintaining the mortal peace. Wolves are mostly in charge of bringing the creatures that break the code to justice therefore most of them study law or have integrated themselves into law enforcement like roles. Once an offending creature is caught they have to stand trial before the high counsel. The high counsel is a group of various demons, witches, and wolves that were handpicked by the Gods long ago. Many of the offending creatures who face trial are never seen or heard from again though there are rumors that they get sent back as humans losing all their magical abilities.
Then there are those that, like the Connery's, own several towns or cities and their pack or clan is in charge of making sure peace is maintained within their regions only, contributing very little to the others. There is only one main law within the code that if broken will cause anyone to be cast out, stripped of their strengths and powers, and face possible execution if they are caught breaking it. You shall not use your strengths or powers (demonic or the latter) to harm or kill an innocent whether they be mortal or mythical, as the humans like to call us.
Of course for a man like Samael this means nothing. He tends to make up his own rules with little regard to the code. Most everyone in the pack is afraid of Samael and they refuse to speak of his wrong doings. He managed to find a way to bind certain magical and demonic powers that I possess, only allowing me to use them for certain things such as needed items like clothes and toiletries and to cover my bruises or when he wants me to use them for him somehow. One the few occasions I have managed to break his bind and use my powers in his presence when he has pushed me too far he threw a substance into my eyes killing my powers and then brutally beating me. Whatever he uses to dampen my powers and render them useless when he is around means I am helpless to defend myself against him when he beats and abuses me or finds his way to my bed at night.
I suddenly hear a faint knock on my bedroom door. I quickly snap my fingers and every bruise and wound vanishes. When I open the door I find Seth waiting on the other side.
"Hey there's going to be a party later tonight downtown and Paul and I was wondering if you'd be interested in going." He said as his brown eyes avoided my face.
Seth always tried to get me out of the house after the nights his brother had his way with me. It was like a silent apology for not being able to save me.
"What time is it?" I ask.
"We're leaving around 8 but Paul and I were going to go into town for a bit. Do you want to come along?" Seth replies.
"Ok. Let's go now." I say as I grab my wallet and head outside with Seth to Paul's car.
We all pile in and head to the diner in town for a light lunch before shopping.
"So how are things at home?" Paul asks before taking a bit of his food.
"They're fine." I reply
Seth quickly looks out the window avoiding the question and Paul's knowing glance.
"Why do you tolerate him?" Paul asks through gritted teeth.
"There are other mates that would treat you better and be gentle with you." Paul continues.
"I don't really have a choice. I'm pretty much held against my will and anyone who challenges him ends up beaten near to death or dead." I reply flatly.
"Well maybe he will change and show you the love you deserve like he used to, If he grows up first." Paul replies trying to sound hopeful.
I quickly finish my meal and stand from the table.
"Well I'm going to run over to the store and pick up a few things." As I wave goodbye not listening to their protests about the situation at home.
I quickly make my way to the shop a few doors down from the diner and upon entering I am greeted with a friendly and familiar hello.
"Hello Luna! It's so good to see you!" Mrs. Connery greets me cheerfully.
"Yes. I needed to pick some things up for the house today." I reply with a smile.
"Well, just get what you need dear, it's on the house as usual." She replies.
I smile warmly at her. Mr. and Mrs. Connery owned one of many stores in the area. Though their eldest son was ruthless and cold they were kind and friendly. They also had no idea of their eldest son's misdoings as they stayed in town most of the time which left Samael free run of the house to do as he wished. Mrs. Connery lets me get things as they are needed for the house free of charge. They fell on hard times soon after I got here and me being a witch I used a little magic to help them through. When Samael permits me I can easily use my magic to acquire the things needed but there's something about being in the outside world and feeling like I'm somewhat normal that I like and Mrs. Connery humors me in wanting my normalcy.
I have a wide variety of powers on all sides of the witch, demonic, and wolf realm. I am able to blink which is a power I inherited from my father that allows me to travel quickly from place to place. I can also move things or create things with a simple snap of my fingers which I inherited from my mother's witch side and being able to move at lightning speed is one of the many perks of being a wolf. There are several other abilities I possess but haven't mastered because I've never had to use them and I’ve not had proper training. I can do potions and spells if I have the right tools but I haven't practiced much since graduating thanks to Samael.
I quickly browsed the isles gathering the necessary items before heading to the front. Mrs. Connery bags the items with a smile and I head on my way.
"Thanks Mrs. Connery!" I say cheerfully as I walk out the door.
I head back to where Paul had parked his car and see him and Seth already waiting. We all get back into the car and head back to the Connery house. The ride back was quiet and slightly uncomfortable. I feel as if there's a weight sitting on my chest, getting heavier and heavier the closer to the house we get. Once Paul parks the car in the drive I get out and run inside feeling a sense of dread come over me. Seth and Paul are at my heels and as soon as the big wooden door closes behind us I hear a voice that sends shivers down my spine.
Luna's POV: It feels like it's been months since I’ve had a normal life with my friends and future family and now I am eagerly awaiting the moment they decide if my training will continue here in Purgatory or if Angel can continue my training back home. Angel suddenly appears in the small room with a happy smile. “Good news!” She says happily as I stand from my chair. “The council has agreed that you have gone above and beyond what they expected you to do in your time here and they are going to allow me to train you at home from now on. They are also thinking of extending an offer to take a seat among them here in the future.” She replies and I am stunned into silence. “Why?” I finally manage to ask. “You are a remarkabl
Tatum's POV:"Come in." I say flatly."Hey, I came to check on you." Kali says quietly."I'm fine Kali." I replied.I could feel Kali staring at my back as I finished gathering my things."If there's something you want to say, say it." I reply."Can I catch a ride with you?" Kali says in a hushed voice that catches my attention.I turn to look at her and I can see from the way she's looking at me that there's something she needs to tell me away from others."Let's go." I say as I head out the door and down to the parking garage.Once in the car
Luna's POV:“Tatum we can’t.” I say between heavy breaths as I feel his hot tongue playfully flipping one of my nipples.I feel Tatum slide his hand inside my pants and begin to caress my most sensitive spot sending a shockwave of pleasure through me.“Are you telling me you want me to stop.” He says in a seductive voice as he slides his fingers inside of me.I gasp in pleasure and I am unable to resist or deny him. Tatum uses his free hand to unbutton his pants sliding them off to reveal he was as excited as I was. Tatum pushes me back on the desk and removes my pants then allows his mouth to travel up my thighs to my core before making his way to my breasts. In one swift movement Tatum pushes himself inside of me and I cry out with pleasur
Luna's POV:“What are you suggesting?” I ask as I cross my legs and look at Robert with a serious expression.“You come with me back to purgatory. We do a mind sweep, start Samael and Russels trial and teach you how to use and control your powers.” He replies.“Out of the question.” Drew replies.“Our wedding is in a week. You are not taking my mate.” Tatum replies.“It seems we are at an impasse, what do you suggest we do?” Robert asks everyone in the room.“What if we allowed her to remain in this realm but I bring her to purgatory for a portion of the day for training and trial.” Angel suggests.
Tatum's POV:I hear Drew and Amelia sigh just before nodding their heads in agreement.“Fine. We will meet with the council but Amelia and myself will be in attendance. I will make no exceptions on this.” Drew says sternly.I nod my head at him in agreement and then he vanished just as he had appeared.“You two should get some rest. Tomorrow will be a busy day.” Amelia says just before turning to leave the room closing the door behind her.“Tatum, I’m sorry.” Luna says in almost a whisper.“Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything wrong and we will make the council see that tomorrow.” I reply.
Tatum’s POV:I was sitting on the sofa a full arms length from Luna. She had allowed me to sit first and had I known she was going to sit so far away I would have insisted she sit first. I didn’t like feeling like there was a wedge or gap between us and my wolf growled in agreement.“Well let's start from the beginning shall we?” Amelia says with a smile shaking me from my thoughts.“When you and your sister were threatened something awakened in Luna. She is capable of many things and has many abilities and what you witnessed are just a few of them. First well start with the fire ability.” She begins.“I’ve already seen the fire she possesses multiple times. It’s fueled by anger and rage.” I respond.
Luna's POV:“You’ve heard your queen. Release him.” Drew says with a nod.“If any of you ever hurt my mate or our families I will hunt you down and kill you myself.” I say with a snarl as my eyes begin to return to normal.The demons immediately release Tatum and I run up to him and embrace him as his strength begins to return.“You shouldn’t be here.” Drew says from behind me.“I wouldn’t be if you hadn't taken my mate.” Tatum snarls at Drew from over my shoulder.“Your kind does not belong here.” He replies.“His kind? You mean my kind?” I say a
Luna's POV:A bright light shines in my face and I slowly open my eyes. I see nothing but white around me and I slowly begin to sit up. My head is pounding and my body aches as I begin to try and recall what happened."It's good to see that you're finally awake my queen." I hear a man's voice say to me.I look up to see a strange man standing in front of me."Where am I?" I ask in confusion as I place my hand to my head."You're in the underworld my queen." The man replies."What?" I say shocked as my head pounds harder."Take it easy your majesty." He says as she comes to sit beside me."T
Tatum’s POV:"We must take the girl." I heard one of the men say."What, take her, why?" I ask as I pull Luna's body closer into me."Son we have to take her. You of all people know the code." My mother says gently."But she was protecting us!" I shout."Mother, they were going to kill us! She risked her life!" Kali said as she came out from behind me."Even if she did you know there are procedures we have to follow before we can allow her to return." My mother replies."Screw your damn procedures! You could have lost both your children tonight if it wasn't for her!" Kali shouts as tears stream down her face.
