The sun was hot, hotter than I expected. I rolled over on the blanket, putting my book away when I felt Damon poke me.
"Why are you poking."
"Shit Axel was right. Wolves can burn. You look like a lobster." I shove his hand away, looking at the red blotchy skin he was poking."
"That is weird. This has never happened before."
"Maybe you are having an allergic reaction to the sun?"
"Can nothing in my life be simple!" I lay on my back with my arm draped over my eyes. I smelt him before I saw him—a mix of fresh-cut wood and apples. I sat up instantly.
"Oliver?"
"Well, Astrid hasn't left you entirely because you still have her nose." He laughed, and I squinted up at him. He was fully dressed in tactical gear. You'd think he would be sweating like crazy. I could smell another smell I loved: fresh-cut grass and ground coffee.
"Why is Killian here?"
OLIVERWatching Lucy and Matice dancing made me smile. I felt like she was my baby sister, but she was, in fact, three years older. I felt guilty for not inserting myself into her life sooner, watching from afar, trying to keep her safe. I failed her in so many ways, and yet it never broke her. She was going through hell right now. Astrid was barely holding on. If she weren't a Bennet wolf, she would have lost her that night. The thought of losing a key piece of yourself is something no wolf should go through. Vader was so much a part of who I was. I would be broken without him. I shook the thought off as I grabbed the drinks from the bar and brought them over to our table, shoving my feelings away and plastering my cool guy smile on my face."Shooters," I shouted, and Lucy's head snapped up. Yep, my sister indeed. I passed around the tequila shots and limes to everyone. Lucy tossed her's aside and grabbed her shooter."No lime?" Damon looked a
DAMONAfter hours of reading about Lucy's family history, even Mark's side of the family, I was mentally spent. There was still so much about Lucy I didn't know. I needed to learn everything I could to help Lucy get Astrid back. I climbed back into bed around four in the morning. I pulled Lucy close to my chest. I love how she would nestle her face right into my chest and start to snore louder.I must have drifted off at some point because when I opened my eyes, Lucy was not there. I rubbed my eyes and made my way to the kitchen. I heard someone in the kitchen. Was I dreaming? Lucy does not cook. I rounded the corner to see Oliver at the stove making waffles and Lucy perched on the island countertop cross-legged and drinking coffee. She was laughing at something he said. I was so happy they found each other. Stil a little annoyed I didn't put it together sooner. I stood leaning in the doorway in just my sweatpants, watching them interact. Anyone would think they
LUCYThe harvest moon was going to be at its peak in a few hours. Damon and I were strolling through the brightly lit city, street vendors all around. It was peaceful. Damon was quiet tonight, not his usual chatty self. The other day when Hunter locked him out affected him. He felt weak, like he couldn't control his wolf. I knew what he was feeling because Astrid had locked me out countless times before. We were walking along this beautiful little bridge overlooking the city's center. Damon was holding my hand and rubbing some circles over my back. I knew he wanted to say something but still stayed quiet. I tucked myself into his side, wrapping his arm around me."I love you, Damon.""Are you just saying that because you could die tonight?""No, I really do love you, I have since the hotel in Portland, but I was afraid to tell you. " He hugged me tighter. I knew he was worried about tonight, but I felt oddly at peace."Hmm."
MADDOXI did not want Ellen coming to Italy to perform a risky spell when she could go into labour any day. We brought the pack doctor along just in case, but I was still pissed. Why did everyone always need Ellen for everything? No one cared if she used too much energy, endangering her and the twins—our baby girls. I watched as she chanted, and I could feel her getting tired through the bond. She removed her hands from Lucy's face and gripped Oliver and Victoria's hands. The lights blew out of the room, and the only light was coming from the moon. She chanted harder, and a scream tore out of her. And I wanted to break her out of the trance, and as if Axel and Damon could read my mind, they held me back. I watched, rooted in place, as she fell to her knees, still chanting, gripping their hands. Oliver's body started convulsing, and Victoria lifted Ellen to her feet. Was the spell over? Was that it? Was Lucy okay? I swear everyone was moving in slow motion when I heard E

Thank you so much for reading. DAMON I was feeling anxious, days had passed since the harvest moon, Lucy was getting stronger every day but she still wasn't awake. Victoria said that she was in limbo for longer than is ideal and they can't guarantee how her mental state would have been altered. She could be the same old Lucy or she could be darker. Only a few demons had escaped hell when they opened the wall separating our realms. I knew Victoria had access to some dark magic but opening the hell dimension was more than I was prepared for.
LUCYWhen Damon's fangs sank into my skin, I finally felt all his emotions, the things he keeps hidden from the world. It was overwhelming and incredible all at the same time. This was what a true mate bond felt like. Damon was everything I ever wanted. He was light and dark. He was the sun and the moon: my mate, my forever. We laid in bed for hours, laughing and talking and just basking in the finality of marking each other. Damon finally got up when my stomach started growling uncontrollably. He ordered everything on the menu from the only take-out menu we had in the villa. I snuck into the shower while Damon was in the kitchen. My body ached, but I could feel Astrid. She was quiet, but I knew she was alert and alive. I let the hot water cascade down my sore limbs. I must have lost track of time when I heard my phone ringing and Damon answering it. Telling Lanie, I would call her back. I shut off the water and dried myself. I came out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a
LUCYI mind-linked Damon. I was at the road. The driver waiting until he saw Damon before driving away. I didn't know what kind of date he had planned when I saw Maddox walk out of the tree line with a beer in hand."MADI!!""FLINT, how are you feeling? Your wolf giving you hell again?""Ya, she is back, and I feel alive again!! Is Ellen here too?""She will be soon, and she is on her way.""I didn't know you guys were still here?""We never left, wanted to make sure you didn't need us again. You will always be my Luna." He winked at me and made me feel at peace with everything that had happened with Killian. I wasn't sure where exactly we stood."Well, I appreciate you and Ellen. So much, you are the family I always wanted.""Same, Flint, same!" I saw a stretch hummer pull up, and Axel and Ellen jumped out. Ellen was wearing the same dress as me, which I thought was odd until Lanie climbed out. She was wearing a w
DAMONThe ceremony was nice. I was happy seeing Axel and Lanie get their happy ending after everything that had happened this year. I loved seeing Lucy so relaxed and even a little bored. I got lost in our little moment in the woods. I really just wanted to be alone with her, but the mate bond really does intensify everything. Her smell was like a drug. I didn't want to stop even after everyone had caught us red-handed. I could feel Lucy's embarrassment through the bond. She let her wall slip down for just a second. When we got back to the car, and everyone's phones started buzzing, I could feel Lucy's disappointment. She liked being disconnected from all the drama of the packs. Lucy was sitting on my lap drinking her champagne, ignoring everyone checking their phones."Did you have fun at the wedding?" I whispered in her ear, trailing kisses down her neck again."It was lovely!""I have one more surprise for you tomorrow before we head back to the states
