Xander“I mean it, boys. You have done some dumb shit in your time, but this takes the piss.” My father stands there, glaring at us. A deep frown exaggerating his thick forehead wrinkles.“Father, this is our mate!” Was Jaxon really standing up to him?Blue had been on the edge of the seat, ready to get out of the car. My fathers stern tone changed all that. She sits there, shaking her head at me.“I don’t care, you have rejected the others. Now reject her!” He turns to face me. “I thought you of all people would know better.”“What is that supposed to mean?” I snap, confused.“You know better, Xander. Why are you going along with this?”“Because it wouldn’t matter if I wanted to reject her. Jaxon refuses too, so where would that leave me?”“She isn’t stepping foot in this house. WE are Black Moon, a Lycan pack. This is no place for a wolf and I will not have her as part of this family.”“Reject me.” Blue’s quiet voice comes from inside the car.“Listen to her, sons. I can’t believe I
Jaxon“What the hell are you up to?” I demand the moment Xander and I are alone.“What am I up to? What about you? You seem to be too caught up in your own desires to actually pay attention to Blue.”“Her name is Ava.”“And she doesn’t like being called that. It reminds her of the past. If you insist on calling her that, how long do you think it will be before father works out who she is?”I sit back in the chair, staring at him in frustration. Xander seemed to be growing more and more attached to her. If we had just brought her here to begin with, he would have been grateful for fathers orders of rejection.But something had changed, that was clear to see.“I want her company in the morning.” I demand“Fine.” He shrugs his shoulders at me “I can pick up whatever mess you create.”“Maybe you will suffer, when you realise she likes me more.” But I knew the truth. If I didn't do something soon, she wouldn't be interested in me in the slightest.He rolls his eyes at me and storms out of
BlueJaxon walks me back to the house in silence. He seemed to be caught up with his own issues. Or maybe something I had said was bugging him. Either way, he was the one who didn’t want to talk about it and that was fine with me.“I’ve got to go.” He mutters as soon as we reach the back door. “I will see you later.”He darts inside before I have a chance to say anything. Acting weirder than usual and leaving me completely confused.“Blue!” Cece makes me jump as she comes from a side door. But she is beaming at me. “Hi,” I mutter confused. I didn’t know how to act around her and their father. To be honest, I didn’t really know how to act in front of strangers. “You know how at breakfast, you were telling me that you don’t like being touched?”“Yes.” I mutter half wondering where she was going with this conversation. I hadn’t told her why, I just said it makes me feel uncomfortable.“What if I try something?”“What is it with you all wanting to try something?” I snap a little too agg
Jaxon.“Why does he want to speak to her alone?”“How would I know!” Xander mutters back. “I had to leave at the same time as you.”“Well, he doesn’t like her.”“He is the Alpha? Maybe he is concerned. If he believed Blue’s lie about where she comes from. He might think another Alpha will come after him.”I stare at my brother. “Are you really that stupid?”“Fuck off, Jaxon. You know as well as I do, father changes his mind about everything. He could be threatening her, he could be being nice to her. We won't know unless we are in the room.”It’s a good twenty minutes before father comes out of Ava’s room. He looks directly at me, frowning. “You,” He points at me. “Come with me, now!”I glance at Xander who shrugs his shoulders at me and mutters something about staying behind.Following our father out the pack hospital. He stays silent. Any time I try to ask him something, he would give me a deathly stare.It wasn’t until we were in his office when he finally spoke.“She’s a Rogue!”“
XanderLeaving Blue with him was not something I wanted or liked. I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was some plan of his. I wasn’t quite sure how, but this had his name written all over it.With one final glance at Blue, I make my way back over to the packhouse. Father was sitting in the office, his chair facing the large window. It wasn’t him I wanted to speak too, but I could at least get some answers.“I wondered how long it would be before you showed up.” He grumbles as I step into his office.“How did you know about her?”“I have eyes and ears.” He mutters back“Who?” I probably wasn’t going to get an answer, but I had to at least try.“It doesn’t matter. She doesn’t belong here.”“What did you say to her?”“She hasn’t told you?” He chuckles“All I know is whatever you said, you really freaked her out. Do you have any idea of what she has been through?”“Do you think I care, son? I have a pack to run, a pack to keep happy. I do not need a little Rogue interfering.”“Interfer
BlueI had failed. Trying to get them to reject me had been harder than anything else. I had given them every reason to get rid of me, but here they still were.Staring at me expectantly with smiles, I wondered if they though I was happy? I hadn’t been happy since I was a kid.“Alpha Cyrus really wants to give me a chance?” I mutter as they keep their eyes on me.“That’s what he said.” Xander smiles at me“Why?”“You really have a hard time believing that we want to help you, don’t you?” Jaxon rumbles“Because whenever someone wants help, there is always an ulterior motive.” Bree had been the only person that I had ever believed. She never had a hidden meaning behind anything, but everyone else, they were always after something.Xander is quiet but Jaxon’s relaxed face tenses up. “Do you know how many girls would fall at my feet? They would jump at the chance to be in our arms. We are trying to help you. If I wanted to reject you, I would have done it already, Ava!”“Stop calling me
Xander“Are you okay?” Blue looked exhausted by the time she came out of my fathers office.“Yeah, I’m fine. I think I’m going to lie down.”“What did he say to you?” I ask, walking alongside her.“That I was insurance.”“Insurance?”“It was better to make me a Rogue than kill me.” She twists her fingers in her blue hair. “Why would it be insurance?”“I’m not sure.”“But you knew. You knew he had the final vote over my family.”“I only found out recently.”“So because of him, I had to grow up without my birth family.” There were no emotions in her voice.“It wasn’t him that killed your parents. You said it yourself, they drove off a cliff. Besides, they killed hundreds of wolves.”“But he sentenced them to a life of being Rogues.”“He had too.”She pauses to gaze at me, her hands sitting on her hips. “You agree with him.”“Do you want me to be honest?”“Yes.”“If it were me, your parents would have been killed. You and your brother would have been shipped off to a wolf pack, taken in
Blue “Did I just hear you right?” I blink a few times to make sure that I’m not imagining things. Xander nods his head at me. “It’s what he will try to do to me. Neither of us want to share you Blue. The only difference is, I’m telling you the truth. Jaxon was never planning on sharing you and I’m not either.” “Jaxon lies?” I already had my suspicions that he wasn’t the man he was trying to make himself out to be. “All the time.” “And you don’t?” He shakes his head at me, shrugging his shoulders. “I have no reason to.” I frown at him, it seemed to be an odd thing to tell me that his brother was lying, well now anyway. So what had changed, why was he telling me now? Deep down, I knew that what he was telling me was the truth. Years of shite, and I had become an excellent liar, but it also gave me the ability to see through others lies. Jaxon never gave me an exact answer like Xander did. Jaxon always said what he thought I wanted to hear. The knock on my door makes me jump and
Blue Jaxon laughs at me as I waddle back from the bathroom for what seemed like the millionth time today. “It’s not funny!” I snap. “I wasn’t laughing.” “You try having a pup use your bladder like a bounce house.” “I will say no more.” But I could see the little glances he gave me. Trying to keep his laughter contained. He will be quiet if he knows what's good for him! Anika grumbles Jaxon accompanies me outside. I knew he was worried about me falling. My balance still wasn’t perfect since I had come out of the coma four days ago. But Jaxon had been right, everything was calm. “What are we going to do about Black Moon? The land is empty.” I ask quietly “Xander wants it. Just like he has always said.” “And you don’t?” “My place is here. Next to you and our pup. I thought that leading a bunch of Lycans was what I always wanted. But now, I want nothing more than to stand next to you and our children.” "Children?" I hadn't thought that far ahead. It was impossible to think of
Blue“Blue, say something, anything, please!” Carla begs me. I was trying to concentrate. Anika was fighting to keep the connection between Luna Charlotte and I open.It was funny. Only moments ago I was desperate to keep her out. Now I wanted her to feel everything.I could feel her anger, her rage as she moved forwards. Get ready! Anika muttersI could see the trees moving, like something large was making its way through them. I hold my ground as Carla continues to beg for me to move.“Carla, if you don’t want to be here. Go inside!” I snap, keeping my eyes locked on the moving trees. She was getting close.“What about you?” I could hear her desperation.“I have Anika.”“That’s not enough!” She pulls on my arm again.She knows what I’m capable of, right? Anika is smiling“This is it, once and for all. Either she dies or I do.”Carla lets go of my arm. She stands next to me and I hear how her bones crack. “I made a promise that I would stand with you. Blue, just know that I am will
BlueHer voice echoed inside my head. “You think you can outsmart me, child!”I could see Jaxon’s eyes. He was tugging at my hands, trying to pull them away from my face.“Talk to me, Blue.”How is she doing this? Anika screeches inside my mind.The mark was from Luna Charlotte, it had to be if she could link me. But how? I didn’t think a woman could mark another.I stare at the gashes in my hands, blood pooled in my palms as Jaxon tries to pull me to my feet.‘Anika, block her the fuck out!’ I growl at my wolf.It takes a few moments and then there is silence.She isn’t happy. Anika whispers‘I don’t give a shit.’I flash my eyes up to Jaxon. “What is she?”“I don’t understand. Are you okay? What the hell happened?”“What is your mother?” The flesh on my hands slowly knits together“She’s a Lycan like me and Xander.”I shake my head at him. I had felt her power. Marking me wouldn’t have allowed my palms to slice open. She had to be something else.She’s trying to break through! Anik
JaxonThe next few days, everything was quiet. The wolves had nothing to report and even Xander had stopped sulking. The problem was, it was too quiet. Ryan had stopped replying to my messages and no matter how much Blue tried to reassure me, I couldn’t help being concerned. Something wasn't right.Blue sat with her legs crossed under her. Cradling the little rounded belly that had appeared on her small frame. She raises an eyebrow at me as I move back and forth.“You’re stressing.” She mutters.“You would be too if you were in my shoes.”“It’s not you that your mother wants. It’s me. She wants to punish me for killing Jack.”“Blue, how are you so calm?”She looks down at her small bump and smiles “You should hear some of the things Anika is saying. If I wasn’t pregnant, things would be alot different. Trust me.”“Anika would go to my mother?”Her odd eyes flick up to mine. “I’m not going to tell you what she is saying. I don’t need you following her ideas.”“I can always ask her mys
Blue“A war?” Xander murmurs, “You want to kill my mum?”“Xander, just let her have Black Moon. We lost it when the pack died. There is nothing there for us anymore.” Jaxon tells his brother but Xander starts shaking his head.“Do you know how hard I have worked for that place? You may not want it anymore, now that you have a Luna hanging off your arm, but that place is mine.”I give him credit. Anika laughs. But you can’t win a battle without a pack.I repeat Anika’s words to Xander. He shakes his head in annoyance. “You can help me, Blue. You and your wolves.”Carla’s eyes dance between us. She was choosing not to say anything as Xander’s temper was rising. “I told you, we don’t leave the pack. Luna Charlotte is more than welcome to try and set foot on my land.” My wolves were more than capable of taking her out. I had watched them tear Jack apart like he was nothing more than the newspapers he liked to read.“You have to leave at some point.” Xander throws his hands up in the ai
XanderCarla comes running through the forest to find me. She looked worried. Her eyes are wide as she crashes into my arms.“What’s wrong?”“I don’t know.”“Is it Blue?”She nods her head at me, “I think so, maybe. She told me everything about Jack. Jack was hanging around by the stream, the one that separates Black Moon from Red Moon. I should have warned her. I should have gone back to her.”“Did you speak to him?”She shakes her head at me. “He didn’t see me. He looked like he was on some sort of mission.”“I need to let the others know.”Carla comes with me as we race to the house looking for Zane and Ryan. Jaxon was blocking my link, no matter how many times I yelled at him.“What’s wrong?” Zane asks, looking between Carla and I. “Is it Blue?”“What is Jack up to?” I demandSomething just felt off by the way he was looking at me.“What do you mean?” Zane mutters, not quite meeting my gaze.“Why is Jack going after Blue? She is already mated. She is happy with Jaxon.”It’s Ryan t
Hey everyone, I hope you are all well or at least better than I am. I was planning on releasing a chapter today but today my Lupus illness is not doing me any favours and for those that don't know, it makes it difficult for me to look a computer screen for longer than a few minutes. Making it impossible for me to edit. And I don't want to make myself any sicker than needs be. I can't promise there will be a chapter tomorrow either. But if I'm feeling better I will try and get one out for you. Take care and I will see you on the other side.
Blue.He wasn’t supposed to find out like this. He shouldn’t be here. The wolves were not supposed to let him through.“Are they yours?” He asks quietly. His eyes shift between Carla and me, trying to figure out who they belong too.I could do little more than nod my head.Pregnancy tests. I had taken three just to be sure. Each result didn’t make me feel any better. Carla’s words hadn’t made me feel any better. It was just such a shock. I didn't think it was possible.He wraps his arms around me. “You should have said. Is this why you ran off?”“Tell him.” Carla mouths at meShe’s right Blue, you need to tell him.“There’s something I need to tell you.” I whisper and he holds me at arms length.“The pup is mine, right? Blue, please tell me that it isn't...”“Yes it's yours. How could you even think that I would have slept with someone else?” I frown at him as I push him away.“Jaxon, for once in your life, just listen!” Carla snaps at him“What’s wrong?” He sighs, sitting on the bed
Jaxon.“What the fuck did you say to her?” I stare at Jack. She was fine until he started shoving his nose in.He peers over his cup, a sly smile on his face. “I have no idea what you are talking about.”“Jack, what have you done?” My mother asks as she finishes her breakfast.“Nothing.”Our mother scowls at him. “Jack, I know you. I have raised you. What have you done?”He turns to look at me. “I told her that she could have something more. That I could offer her a better life, an actual pack could be hers.”"She has a pack!""Of wolves!" He snorts“She is my mate!” I growl“And she is Xander’s too.” He mutters back and gives me a wink.“Jack, she isn’t yours.” Our mother whispers and for some reason, she wasn’t looking Jack in the eye.“Not yet.” He locks eyes with me.“Not ever and now she has taken off. So bravo Jack, you scared her away.” I give him a sarcastic applause.“She’s run off?” His smug smile quickly disappears from his face.“What did you expect to happen? Did you hope
