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
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
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
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 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.

Zephyra It is a dark and humid night here in the City of Mexico and I am dealing with one of the small-time drug dealers, that we leant a large sum of money to, we gave him six months to pay us back the money; it will now be going onto a year, we have sent some of our, let me see… how can I say this? Our “passive” negotiators to allow him to pay in instalments, which he has not kept to and that is why I am here instead of being out with my friends and having a ball of a time on a Friday night. My men were waiting in the Jeep and I was here on my own; the drug dealer was a short middle-aged man, with slight stubble on his face and a bald patch on his head, he had a gold ring for every finger, a gold plated Rado watch and two thick gold chains on his neck, he looked like a mini jewellery store just waiting to be robbed. His dressing style looked like something out of the sixties, a silk shirt with too much print, buttoned down and a polyester coat and formal p
NathanThe 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 co

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
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
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.”
