I cannot believe the rest of the shifter nation used to look down upon Shadowlands. Rising Star is a basket case. Dressed in a stunning long blue gown, her hair radiantly wild with eyes that continued to tease me despite no longer being in bed I followed Freya towards one of the parlour rooms.Cobwebs, the scent of stale air, and the shadows of missing picture frames greeted us. The pale, milky sofas were dusty, the desk overturned with delicate ivory paper scattered across the wooden floor.“This used to be Luna Hollie’s space, I always liked it in here,” she admitted. “Phillipe was only Alpha for a few months. I don't know how everything turned so bad.”I am good for some things, at least. With a grunt, I hoisted the heavy wooden desk back to upright and set about opening the windows to let fresh air in. The huge sash windows looked away from the border, from Shadowlands, the tunnels and reservoir but instead towards the smattering of villages and towns that covered the grassy hills

I half expected fear to course through my bones when that crowd turned hostile. But Zeke never let go of my hand, never abandoned me for a second. Whilst we walked I noticed him watching me, slyly staring at my bump and it made me feel like a Goddess. /WIll our baby have his gorgeous olive skin or my huge curls? Maybe both/ Livi cooed for the thousandth time.When he stood up for me and reminded the pack members how they had all stood silent and backed a warmonger I couldn't have felt prouder. Pinton village was pretty and quaint, nearly everything vertical wall covered in purple flowering wisteria, despite the autumn chill. The local women soon advised us of a house that was empty for Zeke and I to rest in rather than return to the castle. I’d happily never return. I’ve nothing but sour, ruined memories there now.Doctor Thatcher is pleased with the baby, I only have another five months to go and I’ll be a Luna and a mother. Everything should be perfect and happy. Except I know this

“How long have you got?” Maddox urged, clamping my wrists against the grey castle walls of White Forest. “Don’t leave so soon, not again,” his fingers gripped me tighter, just enough to make me shiver despite the hot summer sun. As always, Maddox was an open book. Every emotion on display all the time. It was part of what drew me to him. That and the huge muscles, tattoos, ashy-brown hair and stormy-grey eyes to die for. Several things. Our set-up suits me. I rock up, lose my mind with him for a few hours somewhere in the wilderness, then get back to normality. It’s meant to be easy for us both, no strings attached. He’s a White Forest Warrior, I’m a pack-less curiosity. No ties, no loyalty. Shaking out my messy long black hair, wincing at the fresh scrapes up my back from the more jagged bricks I keep my tone light. “I have to go, I need to get to Shadowlands before the storm.” “What storm?” looking up at the blue sky with a squint. “Trust me, there’s one coming tonight, a big

So what if we’re not mates? Like it matters! She came to me the night of the Ceremony for a reason. I can still see the way she strode towards me, licking those red lips, her dress daring and low cut, showing off every curve. Everyone assumed she was Cillian's date but no, she chose me. She always tries to keep it light, breezy with her ability to just vanish whenever the hell she chooses. The last few times we’ve hooked up I haven’t been able to play the same game. I can’t pretend anymore, I want her. To have her heart, it would feel like winning the gold medal in every possible sport. The ultimate victory. Shit, I’d take such good care of her. I’d adore every inch of her, every day. I know exactly how she likes to be fucked too. Hard, rough. A frenzy of mutual nipping, scratching and thrusting as she lets go all over my cock. But she doesn’t want me. Or she thinks she doesn’t anyway. There’s still time. Shouting how I love her has just scared her that’s all. She’ll come round.

It’s a curious thing to be part of a pack. It is assumed that you must be on the ‘good’ side, that you can’t possibly be the bad guys. We believe in our Alpha and everything they tell you. Well, I ended up with Beta Tange. Somehow, despite being obedient, loyal and ready to serve my pack I found myself second in command to the man who stole the Alpha Cillian’s wolf.It's hard to shake that kind of reputation off. I’m making my way back towards the Shadowlands war front after a few days at Cragstone but this thunderstorm has completely wrecked that plan. Instead I’ve humped the huge rucksack off my back and taken shelter in a series of deep, dry caves, not far from Roseff waterfall. I will just have to get back tomorrow. No panic, I have everything I need with me.Sitting in the dark, allowing my mind to wander, I enjoy the rain fall. The smattering sound is relaxing, I can almost picture myself on a boat, floating on the sea if I close my eyes just enough.They help drown out the do

After ditching Maddox I headed down into Shadowlands. I have secret little rucksacks of clothes stashed everywhere. I basically bought around twenty sets of leather jackets, underwear, black pants and vest tops and deposited them all over the place over the past few weeks. You won’t catch me running about in someone else's hideous old clothes. Being a little bit naughty, I charged the cost of my kits to Shadowlands alongside all the other bits I bought for Cillian and Matilda’s packhouse renovations, wardrobe and Luna Ceremony clothes. It could be called a service fee for all the running about I did sorting them out with such a beautiful start together. Cillian now should have fresh thoughts of Wodness Brook in his head, enough to make sure when Freya gets there tonight he knows exactly where to send her. There are clear rules about just how much one can reveal about an upcoming choice in the road. Sometimes I stray and say more than I should, but not for much longer. My last few d

I did the right thing returning to the North. Definitely. No desire to head back to Alpha Cillian’s camp just to see what pushes Briss’s buttons at all. How did I never notice him in all our previous interactions?/He has his shirt on/ Sybil answers sharply. Well perhaps he wants to think about giving them up. He’d get so much more attention. /Only from shallow people like us/ Sybil countered. My wolf can be mean but I love her cutthroat ways.Anyway, I returned to the Coven of Seers. Not just because I don’t have any sodding choice in the matter either. It is because signing myself whole-heartedly to Padgett’s wizened tutelage prevents me from indulging in any more foolishness with Maddox. Or thinking about Cillian. Or Briss and his taut, rigid back muscles, narrowing down to his hips.I think I have a problem.A clean break. That’s what’s need. I don’t want to string Maddox along, or burn in eternal embarrassment through Cillian. I most certainly don’t need to start up something n

A couple of weeks after my near miss with Zena, I found myself standing at the war front with Alpha Cillian and Zeke. My fellow Beta has been acting differently since he took Luna Freya to the safe house. Even I’m not trusted with its location. We stand together, looking at the maps, the huge collection of paperwork and letters that threaten to engulf Cillian. I wonder if it is worth telling him that he should just follow his own instincts. He is trying to micro-manage a war via stationary. He has the authority, the training, and the men willing to fight for him. But then I don’t have that kind of relationship with him. Zeke could probably tell him that, but he’s too wrapped up in his own world. At least he doesn’t look as angry as usual. His dark eyes haven’t had a sparkle of life in them in the whole time I’ve known him. Apparently, he was the life and soul of the party once upon a time. That sounds a hell of a long time ago looking at the way he stalks around like the Grim Reaper

The Luna Who Wants Everything Epilogue: Zeke
It can’t be the packhouse that created this change in her. From the second I walked into her room, filthy from the day's labour, she sized me up like prey and left me practically drooling. She knows exactly what that midnight blue gown does to her figure. A thigh-high split, too? Cruelty in spades. I was more than willing to give her space. I can cuddle, be affectionate, and listen until the end of time. I’ve massaged more oil into her delicate soft skin and bump than I would have thought possible. Sometimes, such rubdowns ended in tears as memories overwhelmed her. Other times, I was able to send her up to heaven in a state of bliss. It’s been a rollercoaster. I’ve dug my way out of my own pit of grief, Freya had been living on hold for so long. She’d been on the run, trapped back at White Forest, held at Rising Star against her will. Shitbag Phillipe had dared to put his hands on her and thankfully paid the fucking price. I regret never getting to land a blow on him myself. But it
The Luna Who Wants Everything Epilogue: Freya
That mysterious mate of mine. Slinking around like a fox, those dark eyes always threaten something fun or interesting. The love he has for Aisling almost sets me off crying every time. I can’t deny I have been a rollercoaster for the past few months. Or a complete fucking nightmare. Maybe a bit of both. Taking tea with Doctor Thatcher the day before our journey to White Forest he confirmed I have physically recovered from childbirth. Aisling is flourishing. I have nothing to worry about. “Then why am I so worried? Why is my head filled with constant doubt about everything going wrong?” He sipped his tea thoughtfully, before placing the cup down and steepling his hands. In a steady, doctor-mode voice, he replied, “because you have been through an awful lot Luna. Phillipe made you question your worth. Years believing you weren’t quite good enough, that you always had to try harder. Now?” “Now…I know Zeke loves me exactly as I am. I know he doesn’t want me to change.” “Well as lov
The Luna Who Wants Everything Epilogue: Zeke
The past few months have been insane. I had naively considered Phillipe’s dead body being slung out of the castle like trash as the end of the matter. Live happily ever after, job done. Sadly, just shouting the war is over isn’t the end of the battle for an Alpha and Luna. Not that the title sits well with me. I doubt it ever will. But it annoys Freya for me to protest too strongly about my title. Plus, I have learned an awful lot about the hormonal fun and games one can encounter with the heavily pregnant. To say she kept me on my toes over winter is an understatement. I fucking loved every second of it. She pushes, I pull her back in. Either way she ends up in my arms, talking a million miles a minute about all the ideas she has working away in her mind. I got to be there for all her quiet little whispered fears too. If the pack likes her, being a mother. Next to roaring fires eating the same rations as everyone else, we lived a fairly quiet existence. Baby names drove her mad. F

The next five months see us settle into a strange, comfortable routine. After only a night under their roof, I immediately commandeered Finn’s barn conversion for us. Much as I adore my parents, I don’t want to be in the same house as them. That is not entirely due to my mate bond either. They still have an ever-burning adoration of each other that I can only hope Briss and I match in decades' time. I just don't need to hear it. Ever.It appears Finn isn’t coming home anytime soon. He’s embedded into Shadowlands, no doubt a future legend in the making. So now Briss and I sleep in the huge double bed with its skylight to the stars. When Briss isn’t building boats, we take out my father’s smaller one. Refreshing my memory on the rigging, sails, and navigation. On a night, we look at the maps together, sprawled out along the table in the downstairs half of the barn. Where the sea reaches the edges of the paper with no known landfall, I know those areas interest Briss the most. The boat

It took over four days for us to finally leave that cabin. It still wasn’t enough time. In an easy cocoon of happiness, we existed together. I don’t think I saw her clothed for the vast majority of the time. And why would we? In that tiny wooden space, everything fell into place. Our bodies are made for each other, but the more time we spend together, the more I learn more about her every day. We talked for hours, curled up on the small bed. Then she’ll give me a look that just sends a bolt of lightning to my cock and I have to have to have her. It’s impossible to deny the power of the mate bond. My ribs and chest have not hurt since the connection formed. Shi apologised, explaining how it was his only way to make me realise she was important. The power of Padgett’s twisted ploy removed, he and Zena’s wolf Sybil were finally able to unleash their infatuation with each other. I know how badly Shi has fallen for her brassy, quick wolf because we share dreams. When we wake, Zena curl

I believe that Padgett was right to choose me. She just got the reason wrong. Her visions suggested I was next in line to wield the strength of that ancient wolf. To carry on tradition. I believe the Moon Goddess always knew I was going to be the one to break the line. I’m a drifter, not a leader. Rules are a challenge. I run from fights, even the ones I’ve started. How was I ever meant to lead a coven! It was lunacy from the start. Yet poor Padgett persisted, despite having the devoted Jane right there. That’s why it felt so right. To step into those blue and white flames and try to return Padgett’s wolf spirit back to the Goddess. Hopefully, she will eventually be joined by all the stolen Hybrid spirits. It is unclear just how many wolves Ruth hosted in the end. Cillian told me the colours, but so many poor souls have been harmed in this war it is impossible to tell. For all we know, she could have kept Alpha Brandon, Luna Hollie, and some of the golden-eyed Beta Warriors for her

Zena is as good as her word. We have a truck to ourselves, stacked with food and other goods. Without revealing a single detail she triumphantly set us up in as much comfort as possible.Every other truck was overflowing with men, stuffed together like sardines. On a passenger bench big enough for three I sat stretched out, my wounded leg supported with a makeshift pillow-thing she had built out of all the discarded and ripped shifter clothes. Zena next to me driving, continuously catching my eye with a proud little smile on her face.She hasn’t stopped for a second. I can only watch as her mind works overtime. I know better than to question whatever scheme she has going on. Eventually, the whole convoy starts up and we are away. Zena drives steadily, making sure we end up at the very back of the Shadowlands convoy. She doesn't give her burned out coven a second glance. There was no special pyre or ceremony for Padgett either. Her body has been lost to the cabin fires. A woman who ha
The Luna Who Wants Everything 44. Zena
I cannot wait to get out of this dusty, blood-stained patch of dirt. Not a single cabin remains standing. Just black, charred skeletons. While Briss first slept I held his hand and stared at them. Trying to make sense in my own mind of just what my life should become now. I didn’t want to look too closely at the bodies. Padgett had described me as a river, always heading towards what I want. But this place was never what I wanted. Unlike Jane, it never felt like home. It taught me so much, how to use my gift but then the image of sweet little Phoebe Kharkov comes into my head. What if a thoughtful, gentle girl like her ended up in this lonely wasteland? Too many women have had their gift manipulated and forced into use. Look at Luna Genevieve and Helena. Mated to Alpha’s yet blighted with glimpses of pain and disaster, distorting their potential joy. What if the Moon Goddess and her plans should just be left the fuck alone? Then they could be free. I could be free. Ideas rattle a

When I wake up again, I am half tempted to severely reprimand Shi for making me fade out of the most perfect moment of my life. I was in Zena’s arms, surrounded by jasmine and love, and now…well where the hell am I? “You’re awake!” Zena cries, and I do my best not to cry out in pain at feeling her roll into my arms, planting fierce kisses on my cheeks. “We’re still in the north, up at the coven?” I murmur after allowing myself to be spoiled with rough, greedy affection for a minute. I have just enough strength to lift my arm, trailing my fingers over her bare neck. I close my eyes again, overpowered by the sensation of feeling her perfectly soft skin under my fingertips. “Yes but not for long. Then do you know what-” “Zena let me treat him,” a stern voice reprimanded. I squinted at the sun over my head. “He’s seriously weak.” I might be mistaken, but I’m almost certain I heard Zena growl under her breath at the request. With a dozen more soft kisses, she lifted herself away but k
