Gunner.
"Zelena, your Luna, bares the mark of the Moon Goddess and is the new chosen daughter”.
Mumbled and hushed voices grew louder as I spoke until I was near on yelling the last few words. I lifted my hands trying to get them to settle down again.
“Please, quiet down. Please let me finish” I called over the crowd.
“Zelena has the mark of the Goddess, yes, but she also wields her powers. She is, without a doubt, the Triple Goddess”.
The crowd was silent, so silent that you could hear an ant fart in the forest. Zelena stepped forward a little and grabbed my hand, squeezing it tight. I could feel her nervousness. The pack then burst out in inaudible cries and calls, I could only make out a few of their words.
“Bullshit”
“Impossible”
“Prove it”
I turned to look at Zee, her face was pale and
Zelena.As I sat at the huge table in the room that Gunner called the hall, I was listening to him and Cole talking. Apparently more than half of the pack had elected to stay behind to help in the fight against the hunters. As much as I tried to argue with Gunner about sending them away with the others, it was useless. He just kept reminding me that he didn’t force them to stay and the more wolves to keep me safe, the better.Gunner and Cole were organising where to position the extra pack members when Lupus pushed open the door.“Son” he said as he stepped through the door,“The Blue Moon pack fighters have arrived, joined by their Alpha”“Their Alpha?” Gunner questioned.As the words left Gunners lips, the tallest man that I had ever seen stepped through the door and stood beside Lupus. He was monumentally gigantic. He doesn’t
Zelena.I was stopped in my tracks by a massive pair of boobs in my face. I looked up at the owner and recognised her from the bonfire. She’s the girl that was glaring at me from across the fire. Her brows were frowned together and she had her arms crossed under her chest.“Uh, hi” I said confused at her angered appearance.Her lip curled up into a snarl and she huffed.“Can I help you?” I asked,“Yeh, you can leave” she snapped, her voice a little too high pitched for my liking.“Sorry what?”“I said you can leave. You don’t belong here” she whined.“Who are you?” I snapped with a growing frustration.“I’m the one who is meant to be with Gunner, I'm the one he was going to Mate. That is until your pathetic bony ass rolled into the village” her voice was like venom, why would she think that she was meant
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
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
Gunner. “No, we need to spread them out more, here” Cole said pointing to a section of the forest on the map that was splayed out on the table. “We already have two battalions in this area, they can cover that ground as well” I replied. “Yes, but now we have the extra wolves to utilise and that forest area is thick, they could use the additional eyes” Cole rebutted. Cole has taken to his new official role as Beta wolf with ease. We always knew that he’d 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 that’s why I’m letting him argue his point, even if the Alpha’s word is final. “Okay, I hear you. Place another ten there and there, others here and here” I agreed as I pointed at parts of our borders on the map. “Son” I heard dad’s voice from the door behind me. I spun around to see him and nodded for him to continue. “The Bl
Gunner. “We 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 through”. Rex my eldest commander was pointing out the parts of the forest on the map as he spoke. He’s a great Were, strong and capable. It will be a hard hit to the pack the day that he retires. “I 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 here” 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. “I want Zelena to stay in the
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.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 It’s 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 it’s hard, and it’s getting harder each day. Cole has been great with the pack, helping where he can. I appreciate everything he is doing but it’s 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 haven’t 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
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*
