Hey everyone, thank you for reading. Have any of you figured out what the secrets might be? Just to let you all know there will be no update tomorrow (11th June). My internet will be down and the last time that happened it posted the same chapter twice and I don't need or want that to happen. Also, could someone please confirm if Anika's speech is coming up in Italics as that is how I'm writing it. Thanks, hope you all have a fab weekend x
JaxonNone of us manage to get any sleep. Blue had too many questions about our uncle. Questions that I couldn’t even answer. Xander, well, Xander was just being Xander. Quiet and mulling over the photos we had found.Uncle Quinn doesn’t answer when I call, instead his Beta picks up the phone.“Yes?”“It’s Jaxon.”“I wondered when you would be calling again.” His monotone voice gave nothing away. Was he annoyed that I was calling? He wasn’t even in charge.“Is Uncle Quinn there?”“No.”“Can you get him? I need to speak to him.”“No.”“You don’t need to be a dick about it!” I snap in irritation and Blue frowns at me from the other side of the office.“I can’t get him for you, because Alpha Quinn has already left.”“Where is he?”“He is on his way to you.” He hangs up without saying anything else and I find myself staring at Blue.“He wasn’t there?” “No, he wasn’t. He is on his way here.”Her eyes are wide as she processes the information. “But you said…”“I know. But we can’t hide you
BlueThe three of them start talking about me as though I was no longer in the room. Talking about things Anika would and could be capable of. Quinn was pushing more and more. Telling the twins that I would be perfect to use when taking over packs.“It isn’t what she wants.” Jaxon mutters, looking at me.I felt relieved, he was still on my side. I was afraid that he would give in.“Have you asked her?” Quinn continues to ignore me“Yes, he has and I’m right here!” I snap, annoyed that he wasn’t speaking directly to me.“I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about your wolf.”“My wolf is a part of me.” I snarl at himYES!“She isn’t though, is she? She has her own thoughts, her own desires.”Oh he thinks he knows everything, does he?!I let out a laugh, we may be different, but she did not like being told what to do.Quinn’s golden eyes narrow at me. “What is so funny?”“If you have to ask, then you must be stupid.” Somehow I was channelling Anika’s sarcasm and she was in hysterics“
Jaxon.I had so many questions buzzing around my head. Blue stares at me with her jaw hanging open. I should have warned her about Red Moon, but I never thought it would be a problem. I didn't think she would ever go that far.“Let’s go inside. We can talk more about your brother." I hated the idea of him being out there. Blue had told me that he broke contact with her when she told him she was mated to us. If he was here, that could only mean one thing. He was going to try and get her away.“Where’s Quinn?” She asks me quietly, looking around.“Rummaging through the office. He seems to be looking for something.”“What?”“Who knows!” I shrug my shoulders at her, but I see how her eyes run up and down over me."What about Xander?""Probably with him. I don't know what's going on with him. I thought we had agreed that we would help each other."“Hmm. Why are you not wearing a suit?”“Because I thought I was going to have to shift to come looking for you. And you have already ruined one
XanderThe three of us stare at her, waiting for her to say something. I knew that I didn’t trust the other men, but it didn’t seem like she was unsure of us. It felt like she wasn’t telling us something.Jaxon is watching her too, a little frown on his face. Did he know, or was she keeping things from him too?“What do you say little wolf? Do you agree to tell the truth?” Quinn cocks an eyebrow at her“Yes, but I’m not touching your hand.” She snaps at him“Worried you will catch Lycan germs?” Quinn laughs to himself“Hardly!” She growls back“You really are a feisty little wolf.”“You have no idea.” Her lip twitches as a low rumble comes from deep inside her. It was still strange to hear her growl. Or maybe it was Anika pushing through, if that was even possible?Jaxon is watching Quinn rather than Blue. He doesn’t even blink as he keeps his gaze locked on him.“Why are you really here Quinn? It can’t just be to test Blue.” Jaxon asks“I saw an opportunity.”“For what?”“To be your
BlueJaxon continued checking over my hands when Quinn and Xander left. The half moons from my nails had already healed but he was still wiping away the remnants of blood, taking his time. Making the most of me letting him touch me.I hadn’t told him yet that I didn’t mind him touching me anymore. The little sparks on my skin brought me comfort, just as his scent did. But he was always respectful, asking my permission before doing anything. Or maybe he was afraid that I would freeze up like before.“Are you sure you’re okay?” He asks me for the millionth time.“It was because I was annoyed. But it’s healed, nothing to worry about.” I give him a smile and the gold in his eyes light up.“Is it weird?” I ask quietly.“Is what weird?”“Finding out that Quinn is your father.”“No weirder than you finding out you have a human mother.”I hadn’t really had a chance to think about it. Or why the Beta’s had taken me from her. “Do you think the Beta was my father and that’s why they raised me?”
JaxonThe beat of Blue’s heart slows until it matches mine. A strong steady rhythm connecting the both of us. Her chest was pressed tightly against mine. Her fingers gripping my bare shoulders. Her face nestled in against my neck. She still hadn’t spoken, instead, choosing to remain quiet. I couldn’t find the words either. She had let me do something that no one else had. She could have pulled away, she could have said no, and yet she had allowed me to touch the very thing she hated.“I have to go to the toilet.” She whispers, making me laugh. It was the last thing I expected her to say.Letting go of her, she rushes across to the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind her. It was a good thirty minutes before she appeared. The water hadn't been running. The shower hadn't been on. She stands in the doorway, staring at me. Damn, I wish I could know what she was thinking, because right now, her emotions were impossible to read.“Are you okay?”.Her eyes are wide as she nods her head.
Xander“What are you talking about? There is no way that Red Moon belongs to Blue.”His green eyes scan my face. “Considering you are from Black Moon, you don’t know a lot, do you?”“Red Moon is for the wolves that want to live as wolves.”“And they haven’t been seen there in a long time, right?”He wasn’t wrong. As soon as you got to the edge of our pack land, they would appear, reminding us that we were about to stray from our territory. But I hadn’t seen them in years. I don’t think any of my pack had. But as a precaution, we stayed away anyway.“How do you know?”“The other’s abandoned the pack when the Alpha fell. They knew he had a child, but they didn’t know where or who the child was. All they knew is that the child was taken as a baby.”I look to my brother, but he was frowning. “And that’s why you think it’s Blue?” I mutter“I don’t think. I know!”“She has a birth….”“Mark on her left shoulder blade.” Jaxon mutters. “The shape of the crescent moon.”I stare at my brother,
JaxonHer odd eyes are on me as Xander leaves the room. She looks at me in the same way as when I ran my hands over some of her scars until she closed her eyes. “Why did you send him away?” She asks quietly“You were growing frustrated. I can feel it.” I stil wasn't certain if it was me marking her or not, but our connection was growing stronger.She fingers the hem of her tee, dropping her eyes as she frowns. “Do you really think the Red Moon Pack is mine?”“No. I think your brother is clutching at anything in the hopes that you will forgive him.”“Forgive him?” She almost laughs. “When I needed him most, he abandoned me. You should hear some of the things that Anika is saying about him.”“I can only imagine.” I smile at her.She keeps her distance, continuing to wrap her fingers in the hem of her tee. A frown appears, disappearing as quickly as it came.“Talk to me.” I mutter, moving towards her“What do you want me to talk about?” She asks innocently, acting like I didn’t know her
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
