The Red Wolf Chapter 84
Winter packhouseI kick against the bars, still unable to bear being down here in these cold, dank, ancient cells. To be honest, I forgot they were down here as we don't use them anymore, not for the last hundred-odd years anyway. Wrapping my hands around the black bars, gripping them with all the might I have left, still so angry, "Arrrrh!" I cry out kicking the metal again,"Oh, for goddess sake Erin! Will you stop!" "No!" I snap back."We've been down here for weeks now,""And for that reason, I should relax, take a nap and just wait around for something to happen?" "No, but it's better than pulling on those fucking bars every hour of every day! They are not going to BREAK!" "Sorry Luna," I bow my head as I let go and back away till I feel the stone wall behind my back, then slide down it till my ass hits the ground with a huff. "Better," my luna smiles, but only for a brief moment before the sorrow and heartache rushes back. I r

Erin POV (continued)I feel my emotions overflowing me, pushing me to and past my breaking point, but I will not cry, I refuse to let him make me cry. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath in and ... out, "What have you done?" I look at my luna in confusion as she guestures at my hand,"Oh," I croke, looking down at my bleeding nuckles with bits of dirt and gravel in beded in them."Give it here," my luna says, holding out her hands to take my bleeding one. I watch her pick out the fragments of stones from my swollen hand, if it wasn't for my luna I think I would have given in by now or lost it completely, she has helped me through this so much, been so supportive, I can't help but well up ever so slightly. "Thank you," I whisper, barely audible. She looks up at my face and smiles,"Of course, although if you didn't keep hitting the walls and now the floor, I wouldn't have to keep doing this," she jests, not realising what I'm actually thanking he

"What?" I look up to see Leroy's face beaming at me, as if his words have solved everything. "I'll mark you," he says, "then he can't, well, no, he still can but not as easily plus, you'll be stronger against him and the call of the mates bond." I stare at him as I fill with humiliation and hurt at his idea. There was a time I wanted nothing more than to hear those words from him, well, not those exact words but the offer to be with him as his mate, as his partner for life. I remember when he turned eighteen, I hoped so much that he'd look at me and feel the mate bond with me, but when we didn't, my heart broke and splintered. So for the rest of the night my glass was never empty for long, as I tried to drown my sorrow and wash away the heartache. I drank and drank until I felt numb, not that it lasted long as I woke up the next morning with a wicked hangover and a still broken heart.I'd love to be his mate, I'd love to say yes to him, but not like this, not a pity of

Leroy POV A faint whisper travels up the steps as if following me, and I hear her words once I am on the landing above. "I love you too, Leroy, yes."I am frozen in place for a split second, overcome with joy at her answer to my question. I want nothing more than to run down those steps and tell her I heard her, to ... kiss her. But I can hear the guards on their rounds. My head and my heart argue of the right course of action, I glance left and right down the hallway until my heart wins."Fuck it," I whisper to myself and turn around, giving into my desires. I silence glide down the steps once more to find Erin exactly where I left her sitting on the floor. She seems in a daze as she stares off into nothing with a smile on her face, I don't think she even heard me come back down the steps as she jumps when I reappear in front of her again,"Leroy?" She panics at seeing me again so soon, fear flashes across her eyes. Without thinking or

"My blessing? ... " her eyes well with joy as if now only just realising what I'm asking, as all the pieces finally come together, "do you mean ... you and Leroy ... together?" I nod excitedly then quickly gesture to her to keep her voice down. If anyone hears us, it could put Leroy in danger, not to mention us. "Awe, that's amazing," she whispers, "when?" "Tonight at midnight." "Good, okay. And are you marking each other tonight?" Her question drops a droplet of doubt into my heart, "I ... err, think so," suddenly feeling unsure, but Kay just nods and asks,"What phase was the moon in last night, do you know?" "It wasn't a full, so I'd say, gibbous," "Waxing or waning?" She probes,"Well, it didn't feel like a full moon the night before, so ... gibbous.""Good, this is good," she smiles at me, "What's good?" I ask back."Well, if tonight is a full moon, then it can strengthen the bond between you and is said to be lucky." "Really,
The Red Wolf Chapter 89
As I sit and wait in anticipation, I try not to let my mind wonder too much as time slowly ticks by. Having no clock or way of knowing the exact time, it's hard not to worry that midnight has come and gone. Fear creeps in as I worry he is not coming or something has gone wrong. That is until a smiling face appears at the bottom of the steps. I can't help but smile back profusely at his presence, he came, he actually came."Leroy!" I whisper excitedly, "you're here, you came," I run to the bars to embrace him as best I can with the obstacles in our way."Erin," he whispers back, "I promised I would." My heartbeat speeds up as our skin touches and sents mix. Kay clears her throat, causing us to let go of each other,"Luna," he bows his head to her, and she smiles. Turning back to look at me, still holding my hands, he asks, "Are you ready? Do you still want to do this?" "Yes." I beam at him, 'I am so ready,' I think to myself."Good," he rejoices with a
The Red Wolf Chapter 90
We sit with shoulders leaning up against the bars, holding each other's hand for the rest of the night, and as we watch the moon fade away from the sky, I feel exhausted from the marking ritual just as Kay said I would. But I fight to stay awake, for not wanting to miss or waste a moment with my new mate, before he has to leave. As the sky bleeds a gorgeous mixture of red and orange, I feel his heart sink as it's time, he has to go, otherwise someone could spot him leaving our cells. 'I'm sorry,' he whispers again in my head so not to wake our sleeping luna, and it makes me tingle. I've shared a mind-link with him before hundreds of times, but it feels different now, more special. Plus, it's been so long since I've heard another voice inside my head, after being locked down here, they found a way or did something to stop us all from creating a mind-link with each other. So feeling Leroy's voice inside my head makes me swoon. 'I'm sorry, but I better go,' his words sound an

Chilli POV As I lay in Elias's arms under the starry night, I feel myself getting lost in their beauty and wonder if anyone else from our pack is also looking up into this night sky. I have no idea what time it is, but it feels late as Elias pulls me into him tightly, our bodies keeping each other warm on this cool night. I look up at Elias, his facial features illuminated by the full moon, as I purr happily, not careing I am laying on the outside ground, just joyfully content with in Elias's embrace. As I continue to purr, he softly caresses my arm, soothing me into a well needed sleep, but just as I'm about to close my eyes, something amazing occurs. The sky above is filled with an incredible, graceful blue,"A blue moon," Elias utters gently, staring up at the sky in awe, "incredible." It's as if someone dripped a couple of drops of blue ink onto the moon's watery glow and left it to mix naturally until the whole thing was, well blue. "Wow," I gasp, unable to t
