“I don’t know.” He admitted. “I can’t figure it out. It’s a reason why I’ve stayed away.” He took my raised hand in his, lacing his fingers with mine. He brought my fingers to his mouth, kissing them before gently biting my knuckles in his too-white teeth.

“But this, whatever this is. It won’t end well for either of us. And now the Raven has seen you with me; it may be why she’s going after you. I’ve stayed away to try and keep you safe.” He admitted. I could tell he was genuine, and it pained him to say it.

“Why would a Raven come after me because of you?” I asked, placing my other hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat under my palm, savoring the thundering beat.

“That’s what I’m not allowed to say. I’m sorry. Hopefully, all of this will blow over soon. We play the Red Fangs in a little over a week; that will decide many things.” he was talking in riddles.

“Right after the winter equinox?” I said almost to myself. “Huh, it can’t be a coincidence, can it?” He pinned my chin in his

    “Ahhh huuu.” We both stopped dead, panting hard, looking at each other with wide eyes. Theron threw himself over me instinctually to guard me. He looked over his shoulder.“umm, hello, Mr. McClain,” Theron said to the elder ranch manager.“Mr. Noctis. Ms. Mazor.” The older gentleman said, stifling a smile. He put the horse reins back on the stable door before walking out.I put my hands over my face to keep the blush from showing. Theron pulled them off, leaning down and kissing my cheeks gently.“Don’t hide your face; I like it when you blush. It’s cute.” He smiled genuinely at me.“Do you think I’m fired?” I whispered, mortified. I needed this job.“Nah, you’ll be fine. Mr. McClain has been a family friend for years. I’ll ask him to keep this quiet,” kissing my earlobe again, sending another shiver down my spine.“Should we stop?” I asked breathlessly, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him again.“Probably.” He said between kisses.“I don’t want to stop,” I admitted, kiss

  • Under the Blue Cold Moon   Staking a Claim

    TheronI couldn’t sleep last night with the thoughts and taste of Kamari running through my mind and mouth. Whenever I thought about what we had done in the barn, my mouth started to salivate again. I needed to be close to her, feel her, taste her again. I had to relieve myself three times to take the edge off. Her touch electrified my body in a way I’d never felt before. I was in such massive trouble with this female. The way she panted and moaned in my ear, against my skin, turned me feral. It took every inch of discipline I had not to rip her clothes off and take her in the hay.I resisted because I could tell she was new to being intimate, the way her hand shook as she touched me. She wanted it but wasn’t sure what to do. UGH, this female drove me wild, and she was all mine; I felt the need to claim her as such. Hoku had dared me to mark her yesterday, claiming she was ours, too. I had even started the process by licking and prepping the spot between her neck and collarbone. Thank

    ReedReed sat in the driver’s seat, staring into the forest, processing everything Theron had confessed. They told him everything. About the dreams of his mate, that he had for over a year, only for them to stop as soon as Kamari came, The pull he couldn’t resist anymore when it came to her, of Kamari being from the Ostyn witch clan, and that now the Starlight squad knew he was with her because his scent was all over her. Well, that would explain why Olivia went ballistic.“But, I thought mates could only be other wolves. Even if she is a witch, that wouldn’t mean she can be your mate, would it?” My heart broke a little when Ther told me about him and Kamari. Thankfully, I had already started to back off from her. I think I subconsciously knew she was never meant for me and learned to back down.“I don’t know; we are both creatures of the night. Perhaps the moon Goddess has something up her sleeve. The mate bond hasn’t clicked into place yet, and there is still the scent from my dream

  • Under the Blue Cold Moon   Morning Run

    KamariI ran as fast as I could, but whoever or whatever was chasing me was gaining on me quickly. I put my arms out in front of me so I didn’t run into anything while running through the dense fog. I looked at my side, hoping the predator with crimson eyes was next to me, but I didn’t feel their presence; I hadn’t at all in this dream. I dodged a tree that had come out from the fog, quickly using it to cover me while I assessed my surroundings, leaning against the wet bark for support and looking around. I couldn’t see anything, only the white blanket of clouds surrounding the forest.Out of reflex, I closed my eyes and let my senses go, feeling the forest around me. Letting my ears do my seeing, I let go of the thought to control and let the earth give me what I needed to know. I heard footsteps behind me, nearly silent, but with the energy in the forest, I could feel them on the earth, too. Just as I was about to bolt, realizing they were right behind me, I felt a hand cover my mou

    TheronGrowing up, the Cadre and I used to taunt each other to look in the Ostyn house window. We thought it was haunted or had spells cast into it. No one ever really came to this house; it was used every other decade when the Ostyn Priestess and her maidens would come for a meeting or ceremony. They stayed in it when the Priestess created the barrier around our town for safety. That was the last time this house was occupied for all I knew. We kept it vacant as a tribute to the witch clan, symbolizing they were always welcomed here. Never in a million years have I thought I would be sitting in the kitchen of this house, having a cup of coffee, while an Ostyn maiden was upstairs getting changed.An Ostyn maiden who also happens to hold my heart in the palm of her hand unknowingly. I looked around at the old kitchen; it had a gas stove and oven with a castiron kettle on one of the burners that looked like it was used daily. The layout was large and spacious, everything within perfect r

    TheronI was nervous as we drove into the forest; I hadn’t ever taken anyone here before, to my secret place. But today would be a good day to show Kamari more of myself. As I stopped the truck and turned off the ignition, I turned and looked at her, really looking at this amazing human before me.“You’re so beautiful,” I said quietly, pulling a stray hair thread from her face and behind her ear. Her blush was visible on her cheeks, and I couldn’t help but lean in and kiss the warmth on her cheek.“It’s a little bit of a walk. Are you up for an adventure?” I asked, opening the door and holding my hand out to her, a silent offering.“Always.” was her only response as she took my hand and followed me. We walked into the forest silently. I held her hand the whole time, making sure to always keep some kind of contact with her. After about ten minutes of walking, we climbed up a small hill covered in rocks, then jumped down over a small cliff; I grabbed her waist to help her down, her hand

    “I told you next time I wanted to taste you,” I said breathlessly, rubbing my nose up her matching lace panties, inhaling deeply before planting a kiss at the rosebud at the top. Her moan was my undoing. I bit at the lace, nudging the sensitive nerves with the tip with my nose. I looped my fingers around the top of the lace panties, sliding them down toward the leggings by her ankles. My eyes went molten at the sight of her, utterly bare for me. I spread her knees wide, the leggings acting as a bondage around her ankles. I pressed my hard-on against her core as I went up and kissed her lips deeply, plunging my tongue into her mouth, thrusting myself against the wetness I knew would be there. She moaned into my mouth, unleashing something in me. I dove down and, without warning, licked straight up her center, making her moan louder.“Kamari, you taste...” I couldn’t get enough. I licked her again and again, lapping up the taste of her sweet, sweet center. I stuck my tongue into her cor

    KamariWe were quiet for a time, holding each other while listening to the water flow from the slight fall—the one from my dream. I hadn’t believed it at first. I looked around, hoping to find the predator, before turning to Theron, half expecting to see his eyes glow crimson. I only saw his surprised expression and felt this indescribable need to touch him, so strong it was impossible to resist. Touching him, feeling him, felt so right it tingled. My body began to heat up at his touch, and I lost all sense of control to myself.I needed to feel and connect to him; it was consuming. Even now, in our silent bliss, it felt like not enough. He quickly pulled on his pants and helped me with mine before needing to pull me back to him. He sat against a rock and held me against his chest, wrapping his arms around me and holding me while we gazed at the frozen scene before us, the lover’s waterfall I’d call it from here on out.“Kamari...was that your first experience?” He asked carefully beh

  • Under the Blue Cold Moon   Epilogue: A Conduit

    The light of the day as it cascaded through the cave made her head pound more. She hated the sight. Spring was her least favorite season. All full of flowers and sunshine; it made her sick. Sitting on the cold, damp earth at least helped her find her bearings. She was still gathering her strength and her senses from when she teleported. It was a gamble; she had never done it before. She was only taught the spell in case she ever needed it in dire circumstances. Well, her daughter betraying her felt like a damn dire circumstance, one she would rectify once her strength came back to her. That girl was foolish to side with the weaker of her two sides. Her fathers blood would never overcome her Raven powers. Her daughters father... Zander. The name alone caused more pain in her chest than she felt like considering at the moment. She didn't even know she could feel such emotions anymore. Not since the first summoning all those years ago. Even her own mother's death didn't hurt quite like t

    “Wait, what? Why?” With her now being a werewolf, we had discussed her staying here with the pack and her mate.“It won’t be long. I’ll be gone and back again within the month. I just need to settle everything with school and pack my things from my apartment to move here. Plus, I’d like to give my dad a heads-up. He’s been texting me worried since I haven’t gone to see him recently.” Sera’s dad was the only family she had left. Her mom had died giving birth to her, leaving her dad to raise her solo. I nodded my agreement.“I’m going with her,” Reed announced; I had expected him to want to go with her. Theron came and sat by my side, taking my hand in his while swirling his thumb inside my palm. I leaned into his warmth, laying my head against his shoulder."Are you sure you’re up for it, Reed?" Theron eyed his friend. I looked up at him. My expression must have shown the confusion I felt because Theron smiled before explaining.“With the Desert pack going silent with no word, I’m worr

  • Under the Blue Cold Moon   Where Will you Go?

    As the morning sun rose, the birds chirped their morning song, signaling that the crisp, freezing winter was ending and spring was waking up. It had been two months since the battle of clans, with the pack busy repairing the town and healing its injured. Moriko sat outside on the porch in his white cat form, staring at the field that once held a great battle.I sat beside him, scratching behind his ear like an old habit, earning a purr from him. We sat silently for a moment, gazing at the peaceful morning sunrise. In the corner of my eye, I could still make out the black patch of ash that was Morana. It never lifted from the earth, like a scar.“Where will you go next?” I asked to break the silence.“I must return home to the Ostyn Clan headquarters. There is much to do and arrange now that the power has shifted to a new priestess, and the curse has broken. I am needed there to protect your mother.” Moriko had sadness in his voice; he had walked beside my grandmother for decades, ands

    KamariShe was okay; she was bleeding, but Mother was going to be okay. I nuzzled her, overjoyed to see her again, letting loose some healing magic to knit Mom’s side up. Only she didn’t need my magic; she was already healing fast, which was new. She wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me.“I knew you’d come, just in the nick of time, too.” She whispered to me. I nuzzled further into her, needing to feel her warmth and know she was okay. The sound of her scream before would haunt my dreams for days. I felt movement behind me; I turned out of my mother’s arms and moved protectively in front of her, watching Morana stand off with Verena.“Get out of the way, you stupid child!” Morana screamed at Verena’s wolf. The wolf held her ground, huffing air out of her snout.“What are you doing?! You’d choose them!? The ones that killed your father!?” a single tear escaped Morana’s eye as she spoke about Zander.“I’m doing this for you! So you can rule! Now get out of the way!!” The markin

    KamariI was the wind and earth, I was lightning and fire. I ran into the fray with full abandon. I let the bond guide me to where Theron was fighting my Father. Snow stung my eyes as I dashed through the blizzard. As I ran toward him, I saw wolves stop to watch me run past them. They paused and stared before going back at it, battling the Phantom warriors and the animals of the forest that had joined the fight.A few light-colored wolves dared to run at me. I unleashed my fire on them in my wolf form, allowing Tala to mix her power with my Ostyn blood. Fire clashed with ice, creating water in my eyes from the raging snowstorm, and I lost track of what was real and what was magic. It almost looked like my magic formed through Tala as a bird of fire, tearing into the wolves as we fought with teeth and claws. A mountain lion leaped on the remaining wolf, fighting him off and giving me time to go to my mate.I still wasn’t 100 percent sure how I did it. I was running through the forest w

  • Under the Blue Cold Moon   The White Wolf

    TheronDo you have any last words, pup? Zander spoke triumphantly into my head with death in his eyes. I mentally pushed on the bind the Raven had on me, trying with all my might to get free. She began to sweat with the pressure, but the bind held firm. Zander took a step closer than another. I moved my eyes to see the remaining warriors of our pack fighting viciously outnumbered but standing their ground.A wolf got through the Cadre’s barrier and slashed Dani down her side. She howled in pain, her blood staining the white snow beneath. Rune shot out off the ground, shifting in the air and throwing his wolf form at the wolf to get him away from his mate.It opened a hole in the barrier big enough for several enemy wolves and a few witches to break free and run towards the house. That was when the cat jumped through the busted door, attacking anyone near the opening. Alpha Zander had shifted back into his human form, unafraid of the vulnerability it put him in, and wrapped his hands ar

  • Under the Blue Cold Moon   The Last Stand

    ReedIt was a fucking slaughterhouse. We were outnumbered three to one at least, and with everyone battling for the past several days, we were exhausted. The snow didn’t help either; it kept getting in our eyes, watering our vision, and making it hard to keep the focus on our opponent. Zander planned and executed this well. We would need a miracle to win this war. I swiped and killed mercilessly at the Desert Pack. From what I knew of the slave traders, they deserved nothing less.Where is he? Rune asked in my head. I looked to see him step up beside me in his human form with two broad swords. Rune had always enjoyed fighting with swords in battle and would often switch off between his wolf and warrior form “to ease the tension for both forms,” he had said. Rune was one of our most formidable warriors because he was so good in both forms and enjoyed both sides, sometimes a little too much. Where I would fight out of necessity, Rune fought for

    ReedI stood staring at Ms. O as she worked her magic on Theron. At first, nothing happened. fear coursed up my spine when I saw the look on Ms. O’s face. She couldn’t hide the terror and sadness in her eyes. I couldn’t make out his heartbeat or even feel his presence for a split second. I dropped to my knees in shock, sitting there, helpless, beside his bed. This wasn’t happening, this couldn’t-Slowly, I saw Theron’s skin turn from ash to golden brown, and his breathing grew steadily. Without thinking, I burst out in laughter, a tear sliding down my cheek. My joy was short-lived when I heard slamming and hissing outside the room. Ms. O and I both looked at the door at the exact moment. I became alert immediately when Arkyn pushed to get out. He had been reeling the past few days, needing to fight and protect the pack battling outside these walls.“I’ll protect him. Go! Help them, save her, please.” The last

    Izabele“NOOOOO! You can’t! You can’t sacrifice yourself like this!” I raged while I slammed my fist into the door that wouldn’t open. Whether it was her or the house that locked me in, I didn’t know, and I didn’t care; I was mad at both of them. I bellowed at the door, trying to claw my way out when someone interrupted me.“Umm, Ms. O...Ms. O? MS. O!” I turned to look at him with tear-stained eyes. He took a step back with his hands up, smart boy.“From the feel of her power, I-uh, think she can handle one witch, right? And-”“NO, she cannot. The High Priestess’s power comes not from fighting or battle spells but from healing. She is our greatest healer and greatest seer. She can see...She can see...she saw this. She insisted she came with me when I said I was coming here. She knew...” I trailed off, not wanting to say what I knew was coming next. Her words from a few day
