As we got to Gunner's room, he gently placed me down on the edge of the bed and went to the other side.
“I’d like to use the bathroom” I said standing up slowly.
He grabbed my hand and started to walk with me. I stopped and looked up at him and smiled,
“I think I can manage on my own”
“Oh yeh, sorry” he laughed letting my hands go and sitting on the end of the bed.

Zelena. I opened my eyes slowly. The sun was already shining brightly through the window. I reached my arm behind me and felt around the bed. I sat up quickly and looked around the room. Gunnerwasnātthere. I took a deep breath and yawned stretching my arms out. Wait, my chestdidnāthurt. I twisted my back from side to side waving my arms in the air, my ribsdidnāthurt at all. I got up from the bed and walked around the room, still no pain. I noticed the bookshelf and decided totake a look. There were so many books, some with older worn covers and others newer looking. I picked up a small red b

Zelena.I headed up the stairs and back to Gunners room. I plopped myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Wow, how crazy was that. I thought back to the first day that I saw him, bumping into him in the hall. He made me feel so nervous even then. It makes sense now why Icouldn’tget him out of my head, why I felt so drawn to him. And in the hallway when he bandaged my hand, he is the first person that has ever made me feel safe.It’sall so clear now, this weirdcrazy world that I’ve been plunged into, it’s where I’m meant to be. With him. I sat up on the bed and decided to go and find him.Iwal

Gunner.I sat slumped on the floor, the tears rolled freely down my cheeks. Cole, Smith, Nat, Deena Mum and Dad, all stood in the hallway whispering to each other.“Your what?” Nat said stunned.Ididn’trespond, all I could think of was Zee. Icouldn’tlose her, not now, not ever. I have only just found her, and I know in my heart what we have together, I know the bond is real, I can feel it.&ldqu

Gunner.The next few days all blurred together, I slept on the chair next to the bed. Zelena had good days and rough days. She would lay motionless for hours and then have a sudden burst of panic thrashing about and screaming but she never fully woke up and never opened her eyes. A few times a day a tray of food was left by the door with fresh flowers. Nat came by at one point asking to come in and see Zelena, the only way I could get rid of her was withmy visa cardand theopportunityto go shopping to buy Zee some clothes and stuff. Cole and Smith flashed me a couple of times to check in, but Ididn’tfeel like talking to them or seeing them. Artemis dropped off another jar of cream but seeing how I barked at h

Gunner.The light shone through the window on my face, waking me up. Zelena was still asleep holding onto my arm. I brushed the air from her face. She is gorgeous. She has a small purple mark still on her eye lid and the cut has healed over with only a tiny scab left. Her lip was back to normal as are the other cuts and bruises on her face. The healing worked. I lay there admiring her beauty, she is perfect. I leaned forward and sniffed at her hair, she smells so sweet,it’shard not to nuzzle into her. I want to pull her into my arms and hold her, but Idon’twant to wake her. I reached out to stroke the soft skin of her cheek but snapped my hand back.I’d&

Gunner.As we came up to the sand I looked down along the water’s edge, still no people. I ran for the water, prancing over the small waves and diving under the as they got bigger. The blood of the elk washed off with each hit of a new wave. I was swimming in a circle around Cole when he jumped onto my back, playfully pushing me down. I turned my neck and nipped at his hind legs causing him to fall off, splashing into the water. I swam around and hit him in the face with my tail and then slowly made my way back to shore. Walking up onto the sand I shook off the excess water and laid down further up on the dry sand. The sky was blue and cloudless, the sun was getting low but was still warm. Cole shook off and dropped down next to me. He rested his head on his front legs and looked out across the water.*Are you ready to tell me
The Moon's DescendantĀ Ā Ā Chapter 17 -Temptations
Zelena.We got to Gunner’s room with me still hanging over his shoulder, using his foot he flicked the door closed behind us. My heart was racing, and my stomach was doing excited back flips. He threw me down on the bed and climbed on top of me, grabbing my hands and pinning them above my head. He held them there with one hand and using the other he gripped the back of my knee lifting it up so that my leg was around his waist. His face was so close to mine, if I just lifted my head a little bit, I could feel those lips. He squeezed my thigh, pressing his fingertips in hard. He nuzzled his face into my neck using his head to push my head back, he kissed my neck gently.“Are you going to growl at me again?” he asked, I could hear the smirk in his tone. He’s teasing me, deliberately. He pulled my earlobe between his teeth, eliciting a moan from me.“I may” I groaned.The we

Zelena.After setting my feet back on the ground, Gunner took my hand and led me downstairs. He led me to a door I hadn’t seen yet, he pushed it open and ushered me in. The room was long and narrow and had a huge wooden table in it, the table could easily seat like twenty people. There were no windows and just one other door at the end of the room. Over the table were a row of three hanging lights, similar to the chandelier in the foyer. There were eleven place settings already set out with silver cutlery and big white plates.“I thought we were just meeting your dad?” I whispered as I clutched his arm.“We are, plus two or three others” he chucked rubbing my hand.He directed me to the seat nearest to the end of the table and pulled the chair out for me. What a gentleman he is. I sat down and he sat in the chair next to me.

The Moon's DescendantĀ Ā Ā Epilogue
Gunner Itās been three months now since the battle. Three months of helplessness and pain. Everyone is telling me to keep pushing on and to throw my all into leading the pack. But itās hard, and itās getting harder each day. Cole has been great with the pack, helping where he can. I appreciate everything he is doing but itās just not right. I thought that I would have Zee beside me, helping me. I thought we were going to do this together. We lost thirty-six wolves in total. Two from Blue Moon and one from Crescent Wolf. A group service was arranged to bury our dead and a huge black marble boulder was brought in to hold a memorial placard. Mum and some other she-wolves arrange a garden area and small benches to surround the boulder, making a nice area to sit and mourn. I havenāt had the strength to go there yet, but I can see it through the trees from my office window. I find myself often staring at it mindlessly. Alpha Titus of Crescent Wolf
The Moon's DescendantĀ Ā Ā Chapter 50 - The End
Zelena.I am going to rip this piece of shit hunter to pieces. I threw forward my arm sending another hunter flying through the air. Tobias growled and snapped at the hunters, the heated fury coming from his body was only increasing my own anger. I was about to go for another hunter went I felt a presence in the clearing. A blur of dark grey fur ran into view and headed toward the fighters. Tobias’s head lifted and turned to the wolf and his ears pricked up, he knows this wolf. The wolf lunged onto a hunter and ripped his head clean off before grabbing hold of the next one. A muffled sound echoed over the humming gunfire and I searched for its source. My eyes landed on a sight that filled me pride and lust.Gunner’s knees wrapped around the hunter's head as he gracefully threw his body through the air, landing in a crouching position. My eyes snapped to the hunter in front of him, pointing his gun at Gunners face. I felt my skin burst into

Zelena.After cutting the power to the pack house at the switch box, the village was now dark. A small glow from the direction of the driveway, told me that the loud bang I heard a few minutes ago was an explosion. I stood in the clearing that Gunner had marked out for me. Tobias stood next to me in his wolf form. Four of his fighters were surrounding us, also in their wolf form. I feel like I should change as well, but I haven’t used my power as a wolf yet. I don’t even know if I can. My best bet is to stay as human.A startled yelp escaped my lips when gunfire rang out around us. Shit, here we go. Tobias nudged his head against my shoulder.*I got you little one*I looked up at him wide eyed. He flashed me, how did he flash me.*We can flash?**I assumed as much, being your guardian and all that, we have to be able to communicate*
The Moon's DescendantĀ Ā Ā Chapter 48 - Report
Gunner.This is bad, Zelena needs help. I went to run for the house but the pain in my shoulder slowed me. Damn fucking bullet. I snapped my head back and changed back into my human form. I looked down at my bloodied shoulder. The skin was torn open and peeled back by seared flesh. It was dark red and still bleeding. It’ll be fine, worry about it later. I held my arm in place across my chest. The same large grey wolf came up beside me and held out its hind leg. He growled and huffed, nodding his head to the leg. I hadn’t noticed before but there were a pair of shorts tied to his ankle. Smart idea, I’ll have to remember that. I grabbed the shorts and pulled them on with one hand. We ran for the pack house side by side and I kept pace with this wolf no problem. As we neared the tree line, the ringing of gunfire at the house was indisputable.We burst through the trees and I could clearly

Gunner.“They’re here, I saw them. They'll be at the borders any minute” Zelena rushed out. She flashed me pictures, I saw the hunters converging on the borders and an aerial view of forest around our village and the coast in the distance. She had another Drakos vision. Excellent. They were definitely closer than we predicted, they had to be only minutes away from the borders now.*Cole report**They are at the edge southern border, heavy weapons and high numbers of soldiers**How close?**Two minutes maybe less*An explosion, a loud bang and the sound of bursting tyres brought me out of my flash with Cole. They’ve hit the traps at the end of the driveway.“The spikes. They’re at the end of the driveway. Cole reported them approaching the southern border” I said turning to m

Gunner. āWe have this section of forest secure, the tree cover will give our fighters a boost. We have blocked any through path here and here. This section of the forest was near on inaccessible, we have downed a few trees to make sure that nothing can get throughā. Rex my eldest commander was pointing out the parts of the forest on the map as he spoke. Heās a great Were, strong and capable. It will be a hard hit to the pack the day that he retires. āI have traps set here and here for any incoming vehicles. More traps are set along this section of the border. The exterior of the pack house is secure and the village has been rigged here, here, here and hereā Felix pointed out the cabins in the village and the other parts of the pack land. He has done very well in the limited amount of time he had. I like his initiative, his work ethic and his focus. He is a high contender for the top commander position after Rex. āI want Zelena to stay in the

Gunner. āNo, we need to spread them out more, hereā Cole said pointing to a section of the forest on the map that was splayed out on the table. āWe already have two battalions in this area, they can cover that ground as wellā I replied. āYes, but now we have the extra wolves to utilise and that forest area is thick, they could use the additional eyesā Cole rebutted. Cole has taken to his new official role as Beta wolf with ease. We always knew that heād become the Beta at my ascension, but doing the job and training for the job are two different things. I trust him one hundred percent and thatās why Iām letting him argue his point, even if the Alphaās word is final. āOkay, I hear you. Place another ten there and there, others here and hereā I agreed as I pointed at parts of our borders on the map. āSonā I heard dadās voice from the door behind me. I spun around to see him and nodded for him to continue. āThe Bl

Zelena.“Come and see them off, they’ll want to see you” Dad said before disappearing back through the door.Gunner took my arms from around his neck and kissed my hand before leading me out onto the porch. The village looked empty, I could see men and wolves gathered at the tree line towards the edge of the clearing. A few more people were headed to the front of the house, but there were no happy voices or laughter. No sounds of kids playing, or the smell of food cooking. Nothing.Gunner and I headed around to the driveway while the others went back to their preparations. The first bus was already loaded and ready to go, the second was still putting bags in the storage hold. Roe was standing with two men, assisting them with the bags. A lot of men were standing waving up to the busses, both older and younger men, fathers and their sons, I guess. A few strong looking women were

Zelena.As I stomped back down the stairs, I found Gunner talking with Tobias, Cole and a man I hadn’t seen before. He was a bit shorter than Cole and a lot older, but still clearly very fit and in good shape. His long light brown hair was tied back in a ponytail and his beard was well kept. As I reached the bottom step, all men turned to face me. Their faces were blank, but I could feel the tension in the air around them.“What’s going on?” I asked walking to Gunners side.“Smith is headed back, he reached the Crescent Wolf pack” Cole paused,“And? Are they coming too?” I questioned. Cole looked to Gunner and the new man and back to me, his eyes dropped a little.“Not exactly” Gunner inserted.“Hello Luna, I’m Patrick, I've come from Crescent Wolf” the new man spoke, his voice somewhat breaking the awkward silence.“Hello sir” I
