JaxonOphelia and Carla had stopped arguing. But they both sat with frowns on their faces. Their arms tightly folded around their bodies as they looked in opposite directions.“Did you know?” Xander pushes.“Know what?” I didn't have a clue what he was talking about.“That she is royalty, if that’s what you want to call it.”“Why the fuck would you think that I would know that?”“She spends more time with you. Who knows what she is telling you!”“Xander, did you not see her face? She didn’t have a clue either!” I snap at my brother in annoyance.“Guys, just shut up and let me think.” Carla yells as she leans forward. “Does Quinn know?”“Does he know what?”“That Blue is Royalty? Xander said in the car that Quinn wants her for himself, so does he know?”“If he did, he didn't say anything to me.” I mutter“Carla has a point though. Remember, he told Blue that he knew more about her than anyone else. That he has been researching wolves like her since he first met her.” Xander’s blue eyes
BlueI was half asleep, but I knew what I wanted. I wanted him!The water cascaded down over us, cooling my flaming skin. Suddenly, I didn’t care about the marks on my body. I just wanted him and nothing else.He pulls my hips closer to him. He was already hardening beneath me. Instinctively, my hips grind against his. Jaxon tilts my chin up, forcing me to look at him. The gold flecks in his eyes looked as if they had been electrified.His lips meet mine. They were harder, more forceful than before. He wanted me as much as I wanted him.His fingers lock in my hair as his lips move from mine to my neck. He quickly sinks his teeth into the mark he had already given me. Unlike before, where it had turned me into a giggling mess. It makes the fire within me roar.His rough hands trace over my body. There was no fear. I felt safe with him. Anika felt safe with him.As his fingers skim my hardening nipples, he tilts me backwards. The cold water hits my chest and my senses seem to explode.
JaxonCarla gives me a small smile. Her hazel eyes drop a little as she focuses on her hands. “I just thought you should know.”“And I know you, Carla. You’re not exactly truthful. Long before you were mated to us, you were causing problems.”“I shouldn’t have done that.” She sighs, “Look, I lost my friends too.” She turns to look at Blue. “I know you killed them or your wolf did which I don't fully understand, but it's all because of Quinn. I’m just saying, Ophelia is not telling you something.”“What do you think?” I ask Blue.“It won’t hurt to speak to her.” She shrugs her shoulders and the bed sheet that is wrapped around her slips a little. Her hands fumble to keep it hoisted up.It wasn’t even seven in the morning and already I could tell that this was going to be a shitty day.Blue gets dressed in silence, no longer hiding herself from me. Though she refuses to look at me. Keeping my mouth shut, I let her carry on. Watching her in silence as she pulled leggings on and a blue sw
BlueI was furious with Xander. I hated the way he played these games. I had tried so hard to follow my feelings for him. Unlike Jaxon, he had this strange way of making me feel wanted and rejected at the same time.“There you are!” Ophelia comes to a stop in front of me. Immediately, her arms go up over her chest. Her green eyes lock on to me.“I haven’t got time for this.” I roll my eyes, trying to step around her to get into my room.“What’s Carla been saying about me? I saw her come into your room earlier.”“She was just asking questions.”“Who’s the liar now?” She snorts, shaking her head. “Bet she was trying to turn everyone against me.”Because she’s such a good girl. I feel Anika roll her eyes.“Ophelia. I’m sorry that Anika killed your sister.”No I’m not. She hurt our friend!“My twin.” She spits back“Your twin.” I correct myself. A tiny wave of guilt washes over me. “But don’t you think we have bigger things to worry about right now?”“You’re not going anywhere until you
XanderI couldn’t stand to hear anymore of it. Watching the way they bowed to her. They didn’t even know Blue. They had no idea who they had chosen as their leader.“OPHELIA!”She sticks her head out from around the corner as I storm through the house.“What?” She snaps“She has been made Luna.”“I heard.”“Why were you not out there with the others?” “I could ask you the same thing, Xander?” Her green eyes lock onto mine. “It isn’t just me that is hiding stuff, is it?”“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I mutter, defensively.“Really? I know you and Carla had a thing when you couldn’t get Blue.”“Carla is my ex mate.” I don’t deny or confirm that I had let Carla blow me.“So, if you can’t get your own way with Blue, you go to her.”“This has nothing to do with Carla. Besides, she is too busy sucking up to Blue. Are you working for Quinn?” I was done with playing games, it was time to ask her straight.“No.” Her eyes shifted away from mine and I knew she was lying.“You some
BlueIs he actually being serious? Anika mutters. ‘How the hell am I supposed to know? We all know he plays games.’Then tell him to fuck off!“You’ve lost the plot, Xander.” I mutter, turning away from him.“If I was to grab hold of you, the way my brother does. Would you freeze up or would you feel comfortable?”He has a point?“It’s different with Jaxon. It’s gradually happened.” I try defending myselfHe reaches a hand out and my body automatically moves back a step. He was doing it to prove a point.“You would be happy if I rejected you? Like truly happy?”“I’m not sure if it would make me happy. But I think it’s for the best. Watching you together brings out something in me that I don’t like.”Pussy!“What if it doesn’t work?” A woman had never been the one to reject a mate bond.“There is only one way to find out.”I look back to Emilia’s body. Some of her final words had been about my mark from Jaxon. And the other phrase she used ‘open your mind.’ I still didn’t understand i
Jaxon Carla and Xander quietly slip away. They think that no one has seen them. Or maybe they hoped they weren’t being seen as they disappear around the corner of the pack house. “It’s weird.” Blue mutters next to me. “Being Luna or no longer being mated to my brother?” I hadn't had a chance to ask her how she felt about Xander. “Not so much that. Knowing that there are so many that are watching me.” “I’m sure you will get used to it. They are just doing their jobs” Antony tells her with a smile. “Plus I will help and there are a few others that will help too.” She nods her head. “Did Emilia have an office?” “No. She isn’t a Lycan, she didn’t need one.” Antony makes a point of looking at me. “What’s your problem?” I snap. “You’re judging me because I’m a Lycan.” “Lycan’s shouldn’t be here. You won’t follow the way of the wolves.” “Blue is my mate. Do you think I intend to hurt her?” “That’s enough!” Blue snaps, her arms are folded over her chest as she scowls. “I can’t be de
Blue“Who, Quinn?” Jaxon asks.“I don’t know. Their words are not making any sense.”“You need to stay here, Blue. Stay where it’s safe.” I could see the worry in his face. The gold flecks of his eyes couldn’t hide his fear.“I need to help them. They have pledged their lives to me. Someone they don’t even know. I can’t let them die for me.”And I won’t!“That’s exactly what they are willing to risk. Loyalty means they will do anything to protect you. Just as I will. You can’t go out there.” He tries to hold my hands. Tugging them away, I frown.“Alpha Cyrus would have fought alongside his men!”“Pfft! No he would not. The Alpha doesn’t fight and the Luna definitely does not.”“I have Anika.”Too fucking right. I can protect us.“Blue, please. If there is anytime that I need you to listen to me, it’s now. If it’s Quinn, you will be playing right into his hands. He knows stuff about you that none of us do. He will have already figured out the best way to take you or Anika down. Let the
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
