Zephyra
I could not bear to see my father, a strong man, and a fierce Alpha fall at my feet for my forgiveness. It broke my heart, I was enraged and needed a plausible reason from him as to why he just exiled me without hearing my side of the story.
“Please come in, we have a lot to discuss”
I could feel Nates eyes on me, he was curious about what was going to happen; I had not told him or the others about my little spat with Ciana, my mother looked worried,
“Darling, what’s happening?”
“Nothing mum; I just want Nelly and Ron to get here, and I will explain everything”
Nate and my father put more wood into the fire and my mother, and I watched the twins sleep peacefully, Nelly and Aaron returned from their date and were surprised to see our parents sitting in the lounge and the house was not turned upside down.
“What
Olivia South Africa, the place I swore I would never return to… the place that robbed me of my title as Luna of the Blood Moon Pack and my mate. I hated this place with every fibre of my being. I got into the black X5 BMW and the drive started from the airport to the dilapidated factory warehouse; we reached there, and my Night terrors were there waiting for me. My car door was opened, and I got out“What is the intel on Ciana?”“Still unconscious my liege”“And the core pack families?”“My liege, they are falling apart, we received intel from one of our spies. The Alpha siblings have parted ways, Zephyra is with her mate in a cabin downstream, not far from the pack house actually”“Hmmm… keep me informed of any changes in her health, any intel on a date for the trial of Zephyra?”
NathanZephyra and I were out of bed, Zephyra was being summoned to trial because Ciana woke up and the Pack was demanding that Zephyra be put on trial and the proper punishment be given out; I did not understand how the pack had suddenly changed and were against the heir to the Blood Moon Pack. Zephyra had not said a word to me since we started getting dressed to head to the pack house; the tension in the cabin was building, Zephyra was used to shouldering all the stress and responsibilities; she failed to realise that I was with her, and we were a team.I pulled her close and held her in my arms and stroked her hair.“Everything is going to be alright”“How do you know Nate?”“I believe in us, in our love and plan”She pushed me away and my heart ripped into a million pieces, she was really pushing me away again,
NathanI could feel my wolf growing weaker and slowly fading away, the wolfsbane concoction that was being refilled in the viles every eight hours or so was killing me; the more my wolf tried to fight it out of my body, the faster it would work. Every fibre of my being called out to Zephyra, I could sense something was wrong. I hung my head in exhaustion; I wondered if she was looking for me, I wondered if she missed me.In the shadows of the dungeon, I heard that snake, Olivia “tsk” at me as she came into the light“Awwww , the poor baby… are you missing that little slut of yours?”A growl vibrated within my chest and a few pebbles on the floor rattled, Olivia took a step back, the expression on her face was priceless; she was afraid of me even in my weakened state.“You will never succeed in harming the Blood Moon Pack Olivia, Zephy
ZephyraI woke up to bright white lights and the sound of a beeping ECG machine, my head felt like it was spinning, and I could hear distant voices telling someone to call the doctor. I closed my eyes and opened them again, everything around me was a slow blur; I felt a familiar touch and a cool glass against my lips, my bed was elevated up and I leaned against my pillows, I was exhausted, and my body was aching all over. Something snapped in my mind as I reached for my tummy, I looked up at Nelly through tears that were gathering in my eyes,“My baby?”She looked away from me, holding my hand tight and a slender woman with salt and pepper hair tied in a ponytail and striking green eyes; she looked well over fifty but very fit and seemingly beautiful; she sat down on the edge of my bed and took a deep breath in, I felt my heart stop beating as if my being knew what was about to happen and I braced myself f
OliviaI sat in my makeshift office and heard the screams and war cries of my pack; Zephyra was here, and I loved the sounds of the screams and chaos all around me. She really knew how to make an entrance and create havoc, I taught her everything she knew but always made sure I was one step ahead of her.I leaned back in my chair and sipped on the large whiskey I had poured myself. Zephyra would work her way and come to find me, I just had to sit tight and let her do the work. I heard some squirming from the giant oakwood closet“Shut it before I kill you both”I yelled and silence fell, a wicked smile crossed my face and just in case Zephyra got too smart I had the trump card in my hand; or should I say CARDS.ZephyraI had made my way out of the hospital unseen. I could feel my wolf itching to break the surface;
OliviaI watched Zephyra bring Nate out of the dungeon cell and into the clearing; it was time to execute my plan. I called for one of my men.“Bring the hostages out to the front lawn”He grunted in acknowledgement and left the room, I allowed my wolf to come to the forefront of my mind; my fangs elongated, and my claws were out, I ran them along the walls of the corridor and stepped out onto the lawn, Zephyra’s surprises at my feet semi-concious. Standing silently; the rumble of the thunder in the sky and streaks of lighting; things were about to get deadly.Zephyra looked up and the expression on her face was priceless; a mix of fear and rage filled her, as her eyes looked from the floor to me and then back to the floor. Her eyes flashed copper, I could see her wolf breaking through the surface.Nathan on the other hand was almost like a lifeless corpse in Zephyra’s arms, I had completely broken his spirit. I feel like I had already won the battle. I moved two steps closer to Zephy
OliviaI watched as my pack was decimated right before my eyes; I was not going to allow this pack or that family win! I watched as Zephyra made her way to me across the blood strewn lawn, her nails dripping black blood. I grabbed Nate by his hair and my claws were slowly digging into his thick neck, I could feel the faint pulse on his jugular; Zephyra was ready to lunge at me and save her precious mate. A low pitched growl came from beside me, I noticed two of my warriors had Zephyra’s parents pinned on the ground; their claws slowly digging into their chests making their way to rip out their hearts. Stopping in her tracks but growling lowly. Looking from me to my two warriors“I wouldn’t do that if I were you; it would take me just a split second to rip his throat out and you would have to watch him bleed to death all because you’re impulsive and blinded.”
DominicIn my semi-conscious state, I looked around at the war that was being fought… this all happened because of me.. my wife suffered her whole life and now my beautiful daughter was faced with a devilish decision… My sons were fighting to protect their pack… their family… and most importantly their sister.Tears welling up in my eyes, I knew I failed as father… I never protected my wife from all the evil in the world… I failed to protect my family and my pack… but I would not fail now. I knew what I had to do.I felt small tingles on my hand and looked to see Athena’s finger tips reaching for my hand, my love already knew what I was thinking and she did not agree with me… but I needed to do this; the ultimate sacrifice for my family and my pack. I looked at my beautiful Athena… taking in her touch for the last time; I gathered my strength and got myself up from the ground; I could feel Striker stir in me… Lunging forward, I grabbed Olivia by the back of her neck and flung her ont
Many years have passed since Olivia’s defeat, since the death of Alpha Dominic and Luna Athena… since that dark cloud of doom loomed over the pack of blood moon, there was peace and happiness. Zephyra was now the Alpha of on of the most powerful packs in the Souther hemisphere. The Blood Moon pack had grown not only in number but also in strength, they had to expand their territory a little further into the forest by cutting some trees after much consult with the city deforestation council and special permission from the government authority. Their number of alliance packs had grown stronger, the blood moon pack helped their ally packs from near or far.Laughter rang through the Alpha mansion, a few short months after the coronation, Zephyra and Nathan were beyond elated to find out that they were going to be blessed once more by the moon goddess, as the months passed, they found out that not only were they expecting twins;but they were twin boys. Then and there they decided on names
Zephyra“Take a deep breath in, you were born for this, born to lead”I told this to myself as the doors to the city hall opened, but that still did not stop my nerves from causing a storm within me… it was time to make my own path with my own footprints. I have the wisdom and guidance of my parents. As I walked forward, I could feel the eyes of the hundreds of people watching me, I felt terrified… my breathing became raspy, my vision blurred… I wanted to cry. I could feel the weight heavy on my shoulders, the weight of not messing up. Suddenly the most comforting sound came into my mind… “Look up and straight ahead, you got this a nod I’m right here… forget the masses that’s watching you.” I looked straight up, it was Nate, he had mindlinked with me, he could mindlink, he was healing and his wolf was healing, he was not going to lose his wolf! My heart leaped with happiness. I did exactly what he said… I blocked out everyone around me and just focused on walking to him. He looked so
ZephyraAfter that night, Nate and I made sure to make time for each other. We refused to let our relationship slip through our fingers. Granted that planning of the coronation took up most of our days, with the pack training having done so well; we decided to lay off for a little bit. Allowing for Nate and I to have some down time at home. On the other front, we started moving, selling and buying stuff as we moved into the Alpha house. We bought new paint and fun furniture for our old house so that the children of our pack could still have fun, I turned the study into a nursery for the babies and toddlers, with a designated nap area, some of our pack members were studying to be teachers and volunteered to work. We turned on of the rooms into a medical room and got one of the nurses from the pack hospital to work there. We sold most of our stuff because the Alpha house was practically equipped with everything we needed and we added the things we wanted. We repainted the house and move
ZephyraI woke up the next morning to the smell of eggs, sausages and waffles and fresh brewed coffee, I peeked into the kitchen seeing Nate busy making us breakfast. My heart felt whole, the world felt perfect. I sat up and slipped on Nate’s shirt… looking up at my parents portrait.. I took a deep breath in and as I exhaled, I felt Nate’s strong arms around me. He kissed my shoulder and the side of my head,“Good morning beautiful”“Good morning my love”“What thoughts are you lost in so early my darling”He kept planting kisses on my head and cheek. “I just hope I can be the Alpha this pack needs, we’ve been through so much. I don’t know how or where to even start rebuilding this pack”I felt Nate scoop me up in his arms and place me on his lap,“Listen to me Zephyra; you’re exactly what this pack needs, you have amazing leadership skills. I’ve seen you lead this pack from failure to success on many occasions. You got this my honey and I got you and we got this, we’re a team… you’r
NathanI turned to the side where Zephyra used to sleep and outstretched my arm to hold her; only to be brought to the harsh reality by the untouched bedside she used… Opening my eyes reluctantly, every pang of pain felt more real; this was not a terrible nightmare, the reality was that I fucked up and broke the heart of the only woman that truly loved me… Determined to make things right, I got up from the bed and showered… I suited up with a full black suit and white tie, one that Zephyra had picked out for me a while ago… everything in this house held her presence. I would do everything to win my darling back! Walking up the driveway and seeing the Alpha and Luna house decorated so beautifully for a funeral, I knew Zephyra had thought about even the finest detail. The driveway adorned with scattered rose petals, the pillars had white drapes with white roses and baby breaths around them and the front door had a white rose wreath, it was truly beautiful. Every pack Alpha and Luna fro
Zephyra I left the hospital, with soft sobs escaping my lips, walking into the chest if my brother; Z what’s wrong… I looked up at him, how could I tell my brother that his best friend had taken away my last ray of hope… “Nothing, can I have the keys?“Sure”Before he could say anything, I brushed past him and left; I just needed to be alone… I jumped into the car and drove out of the parking lot, I took the scenic route to what used to be mine and Nate’s love nest, I rolled up to the driveway and stared blankly. My mind had a billion questions ruing a mock in my mind. I got out the car and walked up the rest of the driveway; tears streaming down my face, I could hear the echoes of our laughter ringing through the house as I opened the door. Nate’s scent hanging in the air, strumming at my heart strings. I walked up to our bedroom, looking at the bed we made love in so many times… I pushed past the memories, it was all in the past. I grabbed a bag and stuffed all my clothes and what
Zephyra“MOM!!!”I saw the life leave my mothers body, my heart shattering… the cries of a hundred wolves rang through the air and mindlink. The loss of their Alpha. Their queen… I looked over to my father and saw his heart shatter into infinite pieces as he started to accept that the love of his life had just died in his arms… He looked up at me, I tried to reach out to him through mindlink, he had shut it off…He looked up at me, it was a look I’d never seen in his eyes; but one that I knew… it was one of pride and admiration; like he had decided something in the midst of his grief, I stomach lurched at the thought that crossed my mind; I was still reeling in my mothers death… now my fathers broken heart and my mates deteriorating health due to daily dose’s of wolfsbane, before I could even process any of these traumatic events; I saw my father grab a revolver of the ground… I reached out to run and stop him, to shout and tell him not to do it… but my voice cracked and my feet felt
