The Lost Blood Home Truths
BonnieI couldn't fucking believe it!Like how the fuck did I pick the one place on the planet that Diana's fucking mate would be!! It's not that I didn't want her to find him, it's just the timing couldn't have been worse. For starters, she didn't have a bloody clue what she was or what he was. I was shitting myself the whole time thinking he was going to tell her and I think he planned to until she told him about her mom! When I walked in this morning I thought he'd marked her. I swear to the moon, if he had, I would have killed Orion for that little stunt he pulled - drugging me! I will get him back for that, little rat! Diana was absolutely smitten with Hunter the second he tried to shake her hand but fuck me, if he hadn't of touched her we wouldn't be in this shit right now! Diana - who's currently lying unconscious in the passenger seat besides me while I drive like a fucking lunatic trying to get back home. Thankfully I was prepared, although I didn't think I'd actually

DianaThe day had passed in the blink of an eye and the sun was setting. I'd been unconscious for most of it and then spent the remaining few hours of the late afternoon talking with Bonnie and Gavin.Bonnie had proudly announced that she had made the car journey back in just under four hours. She must have drove like a bat out of hell! Bonnie stayed with me that night after Gavin left. I felt more tired than usual so we ate dinner and went to our rooms. I was glad to be alone with my thoughts after everything that had happened. I desperately wanted to see my mom but Gavin had assured me she was fine. I walked into my bathroom and stood in front of the mirror to examine my face. I checked my teeth - again and then looked deep into my eyes looking for my wolf.Nothing.I got into bed, my thoughts of Hunter and the day's events swirling round my mind. My phone gently vibrates and I glance at the screen. A message from Hunter.'I can't stop thinking about you, I will be with you as so

HunterI can't look at her as she walks away to the car. I can't let my wolf see her leaving. I stand as I hear the sound of the car fade away into the distance. Orion walks over to me slowly "Brother?""Let's get this over with" I growl out. Orion drives us back to the pack and my mind is a mess trying to sort through all my thoughts and trying to calm my wolf who is raging at me for letting her leave. I link my father. Where are you?Im in the study.Wait for me there.Is everything ok son?We need to talk.I shut the link off. We walk into the study where my father is waiting. "What's wrong?" My father asks me directly. I go straight to the drinks cabinet not bothering with a glass and drink from the bottle. My father raises an eyebrow and cocks his head."This better be good son, good enough to warrant you necking my good whiskey" he says drily."Hunt found his mate" Orion blurts out."Well... That is cause for celebration, I'll call your mother. This is excellent news. Whe

BonnieI watch her, following from a distance as she walks away from the village. My heart breaks for her all over again - like before. She stops and stands there for a few seconds, her back facing me. She throws her head up and screams. It's a fierce scream full of anguish and pain and it makes me sob to see her like this. She screams until she has no breath left and falls to her knees. She stays on her knees for a while and I watch making sure she's ok. I hear her heartbeat slow down to a normal pace and relief washes over me. She's calming down. Slowly she stands back up. I watch her for a few minutes before deciding to move closer. I inch closer and closer and she doesn't move from her position, ignoring me completely. The spring sunshine has disappeared and dark clouds loom overhead threatening rain. Diana still stands there, her dress flowing round her legs with the wind. Her long hair whipping around her body like a cloak. Hours pass before I decide to approach her.

HunterI sit next to Diana as she lies sleeping on the bed watching every breath she takes. My mind trying to take in all the information I've just found out about her.Initially I was relieved to find out she was a shifter but now all I can do is worry about the invisible danger her pack believes she's in. Orion enters the room quietly and sits in a chair in the corner. "Do you believe it?" He asks me quietly."They must be mistaken, female Alphas don't exist. Who's to say her father doesn't have another child - a son, born before The Doctor knew him. These idiots could all be buying into something that's not even real" I say as I shake my head."But you saw how strong she was, did you see her eyes!?........ Bonnie said she hasn't even completed her first shift yet!" Orion states.I don't answer him. I don't care. She's my mate.Bonnie and The Doctor enter the room and sit down. "Hunter do you want to go and get some food, take a break? It will be another three hours or so befor

DianaWe walk slowly back to my house hand in hand. I stop and look up at the moon. "How long til the next full moon?" I ask."Three days" Hunter replies."Do you think I'll shift?" I ask hopefully."That depends........ on the wolfsbane" he says thoughtfully. "Oh" I say disappointed."Do you feel your wolf now?" He says.I shake my head. "But she's really good at hiding..... It's obvious now I think about it that the wolfsbane wasn't really ever working.... Because she was still sneaking out when I was asleep" I say laughing, thinking about how clever my wolf was. "And this morning when I asked her to take away my pain - she did. So even though I can't feel her. I know she's there... Listening" Hunter stops walking and pulls me to face him. "What?" I ask."You're right!" He says like he's had an epiphany"She's been there all along, She's been hiding because she knew you weren't ready. The only thing the wolfsbane did was mask your scent" "So what does this mean?" I say sligh

DianaThere's a knock at the door and I ignore it. "Diana, it's Bonnie, can I come in?"I walk over to the door and unlock it letting Bonnie slide into the room.Her hair is stuck up in all directions and her cheeks are flushed. I walk back over to the bed and slump on it. "What's wrong?" She asks although I already know Hunter must have told her hence why she's come to play peacemaker.I give her a look with raised eyebrows as if to tell her as much. I'm not in the mood to be treated like a child. "Ok so Hunter told me" she concedes."I'm not upset, my wolf is. I thought it was my feelings at first. I feel like a freak. I'm not in control of my body or my emotions and I hate that she can pop up and shut me out whenever she feels like it" I confess."It's completely normal to feel this way at first" She says."How is any of this normal?" I rant "she chucked me out of my own mind and made out with Hunter!" Bonnie stifles a laugh. I let out a long sigh."You know whatever Hunter did

DianaWe sit at the kitchen table, all four of us eating breakfast. Me and Bonnie made bacon and eggs which Hunter and Orion inhaled within minutes. Bonnie and Orion are back to their normal selves of bickering and sniping at each other and I watch with amused fascination. How they can get on each others nerves to the point of killing each other and then fall into bed confused the fuck out of me."So... Two days til a new moon" Orion says with a mouthful of toast.I nod. "Are you nervous?" Orion asks."Not really" I shrug. A lie. But I keep my face neutral as I feel all of them look at me slyly. "I'd like you to come back with me - in time for your shift" Hunter says carefully testing me."I already told you she needs to be here!" Bonnie says raising her voice. "I think that's Diana's choice" Hunter says calmly back. They all look at me. "Diana you need to do it here, the pack needs you to be here... Your pack" Bonnie's says pleading. "You don't seriously buy into this shit ab

The Lost Blood Moonflower
DianaI'm floating not in control of my body but I can see and hear everything happening around me. The excruciating pain that I felt is no longer there. I can't feel my body at all and I gaze up at the stars above me, grateful for a respite in the agony of my bones breaking and burning. I can hear Bonnie screaming and muffled sobs. I can see Hunter in my peripheral vision but I'm unable to move my eyes. I'm fixated on the sky above me and focus on one star in particular which is brighter than the rest. I float up higher leaving my body behind. I try to turn my head to look down but in my minds view all I can see is the sky. The sounds from below are too far to now hear clearly. I feel a gentle tug from my chest which increases my speed slightly into the sky. The tugging becomes more insistent and I notice how the stars start to blur until they merge and form a blinding white light all around me. The light doesn't hurt my eyes - which is good since I don't technically have usable
The Lost Blood The Quickening
HunterI look at Diana one last time before I leave the room. Her temperature has started to rise again so I want to go and make sure everything is ready for when she starts. No doubt it's going to be a long night. I remember my first shift and the unbearable pain to the point I was begging for death. Death would have been kinder.I walk to the garden to see my parents, Bonnie and Orion sitting around the outdoor table drinking. They are all laughing except for Orion who sits with a blank face."Is everything ready?" I say to them as they stop to look at me. "Yes everything is perfect. Is Diana ok?" My mother answers."Sleeping" I say gruffly."Sit, have a drink with us, I'm sure she will come down when she's ready. We have hours yet" my father states. I glance over to the spot that's been set up. Furs and cushions lie on the floor and some chairs a few feet away. Lamps have been set up and buckets of ice water lined up to the side. "Is that enough ice?" I say not thinking it is.
The Lost Blood The Bite
Diana I return from the bathroom to see Hunter and Isaiah still standing looking at me."Would you like to explain the meaning of what your wolf said?" Isaiah says curiously.I look at Hunter who looks more worried than I've ever seen him. "I'm an Alpha" I say quietly."Impossible. Female Alpha's do not exist!" His dad says but even I can see he's rattled. "I didn't believe it either, but her wolf can do things that shouldn't be possible!" Hunter adds."Such as?" Isaiah asks Hunter but still looking at me warily."She's able to take over Diana at will even though she's been given enough wolfsbane to wipe out a small pack - it seems she's immune to it, She's impossibly strong already even though she hasn't shifted and I've never seen anyone who half shifts with such ease" Hunter states."I thought that was normal" I say sounding like a total idiot."Who is your father? What is your lineage?" Isaiah asks like he's trying to figure out a plausible explanation."My father was an Alpha.
The Lost Blood A New Day
DianaI wake up to thumping behind my eyes. "Urgh" I groan touching my head. I open my eyes to see Hunter smiling at me."Why are you smiling like an idiot at me?" I moan at him wincing from the pain. "The headache is a good sign" he says still fucking smiling at me. "Fuck off" I say bluntly throwing the pillow at him. He laughs at my feeble attempt at attacking him. "I had the worst headache the day I shifted. Be thankful you're not throwing your guts up like I was" he says rubbing my back. No sooner the words left his mouth I shot up and ran for the bathroom only just making it in time. I violently heaved and heaved until it felt like I'd brought up my liver. "This is normal?" I say resting my head on the toilet seat. Sheer exhaustion battered my body and I felt like I hadn't slept even though I'd just woke up from a good night's sleep. A thin sheen of sweat formed on my forehead and I felt my face burning. "Here" Hunter says passing me some water. "It will pass I promise
The Lost Blood A Warm Welcome
DianaThe drive back to Hunters pack was long but peaceful since Bonnie drove with Orion in her dad's car. She all but threw a fit when Hunter suggested we all drive together. She wanted her own car and came up with every excuse. She gets travel sick as a passenger, She needs to pee a lot and my personal favourite she needed the entire back seat and boot for all of her luggage - which technically wasn't an excuse as she filled her car, making Orion carry it all. During the drive Hunter told me about the conversation with his parents. How he had told them about me and his father's reaction. That he was prepared to leave until Orion called for their mother who had calmed the situation. It made me think about the pressures and burden Hunter had to endure growing up as the next Alpha and all the pack politics that went with it. Something I'd not known since I'd spent all of my life living under the guise of a human. The closer we got, the more nervous I began to feel and I could feel
The Lost Blood Hump Day
DianaThe church bell rings out in the village one lonely sombre peal. The four of us walk away from the churchyard, Hunter is at my side holding my hand gently. "Are you ok?" Hunter asks me quietly.I nod. Unsure of what I'm supposed to say. My mother had been gone for so long. Long before she passed away. I had been grieving her loss along with my father's for the last six years. The entire village had been at the service with the exception of the under sixteens. Something that I hadn't expected yet made sense at the same time. She had been their Luna, my father's mate. They had all bowed their heads to me as I walked past. Something that did not go unnoticed by Hunter and Orion. Was I really a female Alpha or was it as impossible as Hunter had said? The thought of me being a leader made me scoff. Me! I could barely cook dinner without burning the house down, I didn't even know how to pay my electric bill - all my bills and expenses were taken care of by Gavin and I hated con
