The guys had surprised me with a birthday trip; we were going to explore Mexico City and down tequila as if were water, also this would be the last time I would be able to take a trip for a few months, my father had already told me that when I come back, he would be letting me handle the beta duties for our pack Blood Moon. Alpha Dominic Thunders and Luna Athena Thunders wanted to start stepping back and groom their eldest son Aaron Thunders for the Alpha position; although the position was meant for their daughter Zephyra, but she was stolen from our pack as an infant. I watched everyday how my mom would spar with Luna Athena and the power and fighting skill our Luna had was amazing; she was an equal to skills with Alpha Dominic and they made a killer fighting couple. I shook my head and started packing my backpack and suitcase, I heard a light knock on the door and turned to see my girlfriend… Well son-to-be ex-girlfriend; she was trying to convince me that I should stay back and be with her here, like every other year. We have been dating for two years and I just do not feel it anymore, she has become so possessive and doesn’t even like me chilling with the guys; we were not fated mates and I was not interested in finding my mate any time soon after this break up, I needed to fly solo for a while.
“Nathan don’t go babe; we will have a grand party here and an exclusive after party in the bedroom” she began.
I let out a heavy sigh, she had no idea that I knew about her cheating on me, it did not affect me at all; I was actually looking for a way out and she gave it to me on a golden platter, my wolf howled for joy, internally of course when we found out from my best friend and us soon to be Alpha Aaron. He particularly did not like Emily; I liked the fact that she threw herself at me, she was one of the pretty girls in the pack, blonde hair, blue eyes; deep dimples; a curvy body and she was good in bed; but now my taste had changed, I was looking for something more and I knew that it would come to me when it was the right time and I was in no rush anyway. I set my clothes aside and turned to face her,
“Em stop begging me not to go; the plane tickets have already been bought and I am leaving tonight”
I was trying to let her down gently, but she was starting to work my last nerve,
“Nate, please don’t go; what if something goes wrong here and they need you?”
“Em, nobody here is going to need me and if my parents are allowing me to go… who the hell do you think you are to stop me!?”
She looked at me shocked at the change in my tone and tears began to fill her eyes,
“Why did you raise your voice at me?” she questioned, it was something I never did unless someone started to work my last nerve and I let to let her have it, she had to know that I knew about her cheating ass.
“Emily, I know you slept with someone from college, how I found out, when and from who does not concern you. I had a suspicion after smelling another male scent on you and I got my doubts clear.”
I paused to let my words sink in her head and when I could see the fear in her eyes rising of where this was heading, I continued,
“you and I have been over for months now, in case you have not noticed I do my own thing and we have not gone out on a date in months”
“What are you saying Nate?”
“you know exactly what I am saying Emily. Our relationship is over, and it is for the best.”
“Nate, baby… we can figure this out. I know we are not fated mates, but do you really think we will find our mates this late in life?”
“Since when has there been an expiry on finding your soulmate?”
“Nate” she cooed, and I snapped; I was being as gentle as I could, but she was just not accepting it
“Leave now Emily and do not forget; I am the soon-to-be Beta of this pack. Show some respect and listen to the orders I give”
I used my Beta tone on her, and her wolf submitted, I turned my back towards her and continued packing; I heard wood cracking and I turned around and saw Emily had broken my room door off the hinges
“You’re going to regret this Nathan, mark my words” she spat
My eyes changed colour and my fangs elongated, my wolf was pissed that a low-ranking wolf dared to threaten us.
“Get out!”
I roared and she bowed her head in respect and scampered away, as she left, I saw my mother come up and she looked at Emily and then at me and let out a laugh. My mother was beautiful; black eyes and full lips, her skin flawless and she had dark brown hair; I watched as my mother laughed and realised that for the time, I am away I will miss her the most, her sweet voice and quirky jokes and melodious laugh. My family was my anchor; I had an issue controlling my anger, anything would trigger it.
“let me guess; my son has finally woken up and dumped that stupid girl?”
My mother started and my father came running up the stairs
“say what?”
He held my mother around her waist and pulled her close and they stared at each other lovingly, you would swear they just found each other like five seconds ago and not married for like twenty-three years and yes, I was born out of wedlock; kind of unexpected at least that is what they once told me which was a complete lie. My father was a handsome man with jet black hair, like mine and chocolate brown eyes he and I were almost the same height five foot seven and for a man in his early forties he was in amazing shape and, I really wanted to be lucky like them and find my mate early in life; but the moon goddess clearly had some other plans for me and not let my queen grace me with her presence.
“Yes, parents and this is why I don’t live with you guys anymore and I now regret giving mom a set of keys to keep in case I lost mine”
I teased them and they chuckled, we had a really good relationship, I had a younger sister but she left with her mate about three months back and she was my world, we had a six year age gap so I was always the protective big brother, even beat up a few dumbasses for trying to hurt her at school, yes I know she is a werewolf but she is so timid; she would not hurt a fly.
“Oh hush” my mother fussed and came over to my room and handed me my clothes that she had ironed and folded “You don’t want to keep Alpha Dominic waiting too long, I am going there now to see Athena”
My father and I nodded, and my mother left, my father slapped my shoulder lightly and we sat on the bed.
“Son, I know you might feel the burden of being a beta weighing in on you, but there are benefits and once you find your mate you will find that she is being the beta female will help ease your problems by more than half.”
“I know Pop’s but right now I am in no rush, I just got out of one relationship; now I want to wait for her enter and fill my world with colour.”
My father chuckled “glad to know my son has his Romeo qualities from me, anyways here we are”
My father handed me a couple of dollars to exchange,
“consider this a birthday gift and please enjoy yourself; I know I don’t need to give you any talks”
I laughed “no Pop’s”
With that we left to meet Alpha Dominic, he wanted to wish me in advance and bid me farewell till I returned.
Dominic
I stood on the patio in the backyard, overlooking the sea, the sun was setting, and another day had come to an end; another day… month… year added to not having found my little princess. I had no idea if she was alive or dead; what she looked like if she was alive, did she take after her beautiful and brave mother, or did she have some of my qualities? I searched far and wide for Zephyra; but no luck, I was surprised at how Athena was handling this for all these years and still loved me and was an outstanding Luna to this pack. I felt a hand wrap around my waist and a head rest on my back, the sparks and electricity flowing through my body told me it was my mate; I took her hand and pulled her gently in front of me and there she was with her beautiful big brown eyes and the brightest smile, she kissed my cheek.
“Trust in the moon goddess my love, Zephyra will find her way home” Athena reminded me, and I had no idea how she had such an unwavering devotion to the moon goddess when she did not help us find our little girl and it has been twenty-four years,
“Athena, how can you harbour such faith within yourself?”
“Because I have you standing by me and we have a pack that depends on us; I am Zephyra’s mother and the bond between mother and child never weaken, our daughter is blessed and protected by the Moon goddess, just wait and see. I can feel she is alive, and I know she is looking at that necklace and trying to figure out what we meant”
“My sweetheart…” she rendered me speechless, the number of wolves she fought to get any clues about our daughter’s location from any of the strays that got away during our face-off with Cassandra amazed me, the power and interrogation strategies she had even scared me.
“Shhhh, Nathan and Chris have arrived” she kissed my cheek and left and just then Nathan and Chris walked out to the patio.
I looked at Nathan and he was a handsome young man, when Zephyra was born; Chris and I decided that if they did not find their mates by twenty-six, we would ask if they wanted to wed each other, now was going to be twenty-five and my Zephyra was taken from us at such an early age. The moon goddess was playing a cruel game with our families, she had not blessed Nate with a mate, she took away my daughter and she sat there in her heavenly abode watching the drama unfold amongst us mortals, her faithful devotees.
“Alpha” both Chris and Nate said in unison
I raised my eyebrow at them,
“what the hell is wrong with you guys?” I chuckled and they looked at each other and then me as if I were mad.
“You looked like you were in deep thought Alpha” Nate spoke, and I tapped his shoulder, he was a respectful young lad and I loved him as if he were my own son.
“I understand son, what time is your flight?”
“at 11p.m, I leave here at eight p.m., I just wanted to know if there was anything you needed me to do before I left Alpha.”
“No lad, I just need you to enjoy yourself and come back to take the reins as Beta, I think your father is starting to slack”
Nate and I chuckled, and Chris pouted,
“I am not slacking Dominic and you know that”
I waved him quiet and handed Nate some cash to convert into Mexican Peso’s
“Alpha, I can’t take this much from you”
He was pulling his hand away and I shoved it in his hand,
“as a father figure to you I insist you take it and as your Alpha, I order you to take it”
Nate Sighed and gave me a mischievous smile and took the money,
“Thank you Alpha, I will see you in a month.”
I hugged him and he left with his parents, Athena came out and held my hand.
“I have a good feeling about Nate’s trip my love, something is good and life changing is going to come off it” Athena spoke as if she had seen a clip of the future.
“I hope so my darling” I held her close to me and we walked into the house and spent time with our three sons.

ZephyraI woke up and the sun was up and burning bright through my window; I loved having a big window above my head so that the natural light could freshen and brighten my room; most of my room was pretty basic, with a King-sized bed and a fluffy black rug, a white desk with a desk lamp and my laptop, I groaned in agony as it dawned on me that it was going to be another scorching day in the wonderful Mexico City. I got up and got dressed for training, tying my hair up into a high messy bun and slipping on a pair of black tights and a grey vest; walking into the dining hall I felt all eyes on me, it was weird; the pack was not looking at me in disappointment or disgust but in admiration, I knew they liked me, but this felt different and guilty to admit but I liked it. I grabbed a slice of toast and spread some strawberry jam on it and walked out back for my training, all the while those eyes watched my every movement. I shook my head; something was seriously

NathanI felt something soft and comfy beneath me, the soft sheets, I felt so relaxed; I then recalled what happened last night and bolted upright and took in my surroundings. I was in a decent looking hotel room, with a nice balcony and then it hit me like a ten ton truck coming down the freeway at high speed, the most intoxicating smell nose and I took a deep breath of the scent, it was a delightful mix of cinnamon and lilies, I let my sense of smell lead me to the person who had this scent, I found myself being lifted off the bed and my feet taking me to the source, I opened my eyes; I saw the most beautiful woman sleeping on the couch, her black hair was tied up and a few stray strands caressed her face, she was fair skinned and that was rare in the such a hot city like Mexico, but why did I not get this scent last night? I should have picked up her scent last night when she helped bring me and my boys here, I heard my wolf questioning if this was our mat

Zephyra I stormed into the pack house and grabbed Olivia by her skimpy shirt and slammed her against the wall “let Toni and his family go! Your problem is me. I see that now!” Olivia laughed and then tsked at me “I would not be making demands if I were in your position Zephyra” she looked over my shoulder and smirked, I turned and looked in the same direction and there was Toni; bound by his hands and legs. He had cuts and bruises on his face and body, I let go of Olivia and rushed to Toni, tears welling up in my eyes. “Toni where is Alba?” He looked at me, his eyes looked lifeless and that scared me “They took her away from me, they won’t tell me whether she is alive or dead; I can’t feel our bond anymore and my heart is scared Zephyra…” I stood up and clenched my fist; I looked Olivia dead in the eye. “What do you want from me?”

NathanWe were now in one of the most popular clubs in Cabo San Lucas, we had been backpacking for most of the trip till Mexico City, then it was all luxury hotels and high society clubs and still, no matter which club or bar we entered, and the number of women threw themselves at me; I could only think about that girl with whom I shared a room with at the lodge we stayed at. The sparkle in her big brown eyes, her cute fair face, and pink lips. Her attitude and style were so different compared to what I was used to; she did not care about how I looked at her, in fact she made me feel shy for having a large dick! No girl had ever made me feel this way. The more different women tried their luck with me the more annoyed I became.We were chilling at in the V.I.P lounge when a bar tender came up and thought it would be alright to sit on my lap, before her ass cheek could even touch my lap, I pushed her aside and growled at her

NathanI was enjoying getting to know the more friendly side of my mate, whether she acknowledged the bond between us; I was falling for her and falling hard, this nagging question in my mind, where the fuck was her date? Was that her boyfriend? I had to go out on a limb and ask her,“sooooo, Z; where is your boyfriend?”I asked and Zephyra was stunned“What boyfriend bruh?”“The one you came here with Z!”“I came here with my friend, youuuuu assumed he was my boyfriend”She giggled it was like music to my ears, her cute giggle made me feel all warm and fuzzy; when she held my bicep firmly and looked deep into my eyes, I got lost in her hazel eyes, I could see my life with this gorgeous specimen right here! We leaned in for a kiss, just as my lips were inches from hers, Ron squealed

ZephyraI woke up with an enormous headache; I slowly opened my eyes and took in my surroundings, this did not look like the nightclub bathroom, I felt the soft pillow beneath my head and the bed sheets under and over me; I shot up and looked under the covers, I was in a baggy t-shirt. I looked around the room and found Nate sleeping on the couch; then like lightening it struck me, we were in his hotel room and I remember him carrying me and then I blacked out again.The light was still on and I slowly made my way out of bed and over to where Nate was asleep, I noticed how his eyebrows were creased together by worry. My wolf piped up, “Mate”, I pulled my hand back and my wolf and I had an internal argument“No, he is not our mate”“Yes, he is” she argued “you can deny the attraction that you feel towards him all you want Zephyra; but it will not change the

ZephyraI woke up at the crack of dawn; I had never felt so alive and at peace… I turned in the arms of my mate, my true love and played with his hair while he slept; he looked so at peace here next to me. I relived the scenes from last night in my head as I touched my mark. I closed my eyes to fall right back off to sleep in his arms; I started experiencing flashbacks of a woman that looked a lot like Olivia jumping through a window with a bundle that was concealed away in her arms. I could hear a woman’s scream and cry; she sounded like a heart broken mother, I woke up sweating; I looked in Nates direction and he was still sound asleep.I sat on the chair outside on the balcony and tried to figure out what these dreams or flashbacks meant. Why did this woman’s cry in my dream make me pine for her and I cannot even recall her face clearly. I had to find my answers; but I first had to go to Czech Republic to meet Antoni

ZephyraI landed in Prague and it was as beautiful as I had read online, truly an architectural gem and a cultural gem in both the human world and supernatural world. I was so glad that I found Antonio and his family safe and sound. Their house was on the outskirts of Prague, bordering the city of Průhonice, a beautiful village in Prague-West District. Alba showed me to my room, it was pretty and a little more girly than my room back home in Mexico… I gave a cynical chuckle, “Home” … I have no idea where or what is home for me anymore. I freshened up and went downstairs.“Toni, where are the girls?”I asked and he smiled, only Atonella is here, Antonia found her mates and has gone to a different city in Europe. As he spoke Atonella walked in with iced tea and ham sandwiches; she looked sad but kept a friendly smile on her face and was about to turn and walk away. I could tell how her heart ache

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
The Lost Daughter of Blood Moon Chapter 39
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
The Lost Daughter of Blood Moon Chapter 38
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
The Lost Daughter of Blood Moon Chapter 36
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
The Lost Daughter of Blood Moon Chapter 34
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

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
The Lost Daughter of Blood Moon Chapter 32
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.”
