2021-07-20 00:00:29With my ‘human’ spirit now once more joined with this half of me, I am finally able to take on my human form. I do so, double-checking for any errors in my judgement but everything looks perfect. I do have a slight glow, but nothing that would suggest I was a ‘spirit’ that Rem couldn’t trust. Or I hoped not, at the least.
He was still giving me distrustful glances, but now that Seren was no more, he seemed to relax again.
Turning my attention fully on Rem, I leaned on the chest and patted the chains. “Come sit with me, Remmy,” I coo over to him - using the nickname Sam called him in a hope that Rem would know for sure that this really was me.
He let out a grunt of annoyance at the nickname and stomped his way over to me, though the sword remained in his hand even as he dragged behind himself sluggishly. “Well, now I know it’s definitely you. Only you would dare call me that besides Sam,” he criticised. He sat on the chest beside me and

“I’ll make my choice. It is time to wake up,” Rem’s voice rang out to me as everything turned white. I could hear people arguing nearby as I roused from the dream I had been having. Though in my heart, I knew it had been no dream. The feel of someone’s fingers slowly stroking through the fur on my head alerted me to the fact that Rem was now awake along with me.As my eyes flickered open, the sound of the large doors into the meditation room swung open with the force of an angry person behind them. I knew I was in trouble for entering the room against Mrs Emerson’s demands, but I knew it was the right thing to do.Mrs Emerson halted as soon as she saw Rem was awake, her expression no longer furious but stunned. None of the others had followed her in, but with the doors wide open, they had an unrestricted view of the scene within.I was still in my wolf form, curled up around Rem and my head in his lap. M

“So K-Ken was telling me t-that you a-are really large in y-your wolf form, Zach,” Sam stuttered sheepishly to me after we had finished eating. We were now making our way towards the gathering hall. “H-he said y-your f-fur is really s-soft too,” they continued. Every glance they made towards Ken was subtle and shy.I couldn’t help but chuckle softly to myself. “Very soft, yes,” I agreed. “Even Rem thinks so, don’t you Remmy?” I cooed playfully, which as expected, caused the man in question to blush a deep red tone.“Ugh, there is no living with either of you,” Rem mumbled towards me and Sam. I was glad. Although the wolf-spirit inside of Rem had awakened, he wasn’t any different to his usual self.I offered a playful wink towards Rem, then looked back at Sam. “I can partly transform for you, and you can see for yourself if you like?” I asked them.

This was the second time now that we had gathered at the meeting hall with the other Hunters. Mrs Emerson peered at the four of us quietly before saying, “I’d like to speak with Rath and the werewolf alone first, then everyone else can come in.” Rem and I shared a glance but nodded slowly in agreement. It didn’t sound like she was angry, or that she was being fussy, but it sounded important. Whatever it was she needed to say, likely had something to do with the gaining of a spirit. Or, in Rem’s case, the awakening of his other half. As Mrs Emerson closed the door behind the three of us, she peered at me intently. Then she looked at Rem and asked, “Rath, what kind of spirit did you summon? Usually, we hunters continue to bond with the same spirit over the centuries, which is how the position gets passed down to the next leader, however,” she paused and placed a hand to her chest, frowned and then continued to say, “while the spirit left my body,

After our little chat, Mrs Emerson called the others in and let them take their seats while we waited for the other Hunters to arrive. Rem and I now had seats at the front of the table and Mrs Emerson sat next to us on the side. I had expected people to be puzzled at first, but they could sense the change in Rem right away. Excited whispering filled the room before Mrs Emerson silenced everyone. “As you can all tell, the change of leadership has finally swapped hands with Rath as our new leader. Until he has the training needed to take on the role, I will aid him with whatever he needs. Until he has fully taken over, please give him and me some time to get things settled down,” she said, speaking clearly. Rem nodded towards his grandmother and then looked over the faces of those gathered here. “There might be a few changes coming regarding how we work as Hunters and how we deal with the Supernatural beings in this world.

With everything that had happened today, Rem suggested we take the evening off to relax and work on the pack structure in the morning. I sent word out to the pack through the mind-link to let them know I was fine and so was Rem. I also let them know of our plans to sort out the pack structure in the morning. That gave me time to help Sam along with their crush on Ken. “You know it’s pointless. Ken likes you. The chances of him looking at anyone else are slim at best,” Rem muttered unhappily as we sat in his room so I could plot and plan in peace. I shot him a small look before going back to the piece of paper I was using to write ideas. “You don’t know that for sure. Besides, they would be cute together, don’t you think?” I responded. I allowed the end of the pen to tap against my lower lip as I mulled things over. “They are both part of my family. No way do I think they’re cute,” Rem insisted glumly. I rolled my eyes and then l

After a nice cold shower, we headed into the training yard to continue training the werewolves. This time, however, some of the other Hunters were there to assist with the task. Rem assured them they wouldn’t need to give away any of their secret abilities. All they needed to do was to ensure the pack could fight beside us if it came down to it.As Rem sorted out the training, it was my task to figure out everyone’s roles. Each pack was different. Some packs handed over roles to their offspring the moment they are of age and found themselves their destined mate.In other packs, however, being born to a werewolf with a certain role did not automatically assure you would be that role too. They did not hand your position down to you the same way nobles and royalty did. Though genetics did sometimes help play a role, it was just never promised. What det

While Rem and I took a break from helping to train the pack at close-quarter combat, I called over the kids I had asked to help me out with my little blind date project. They had set everything up and were just waiting for my command to go ahead with the whole thing. Sam and Ken were both busy, so there wasn’t much of a rush, but I wanted to pull this off sooner rather than later.It was almost lunchtime, so it wouldn’t be long before I could set things in motion. If this didn’t spark at least a little ember, then I wasn’t sure what would work. Rem was still quite sceptical about how well I would succeed with this plan of mine, but he was willing to assist me, regardless.With how warm it was today, I knew a pleasant picnic in the shade of some trees would be just the perfect setup for the two of them. It was just a matter of getting them both there at the same time. Rem and I made great use of the kitchen this morning to
Last Updated : 2021-07-29Under the Blue Moon This is aMAZEing
Carefully, we stalked behind Ken and Sam as they made their way to what was a Maze of sorts. Rem had given them directions through the mind-link to ensure they hadn’t got lost while placing the ball within. I was surprised this place even existed, but I hadn’t explored every bit of the garden, and even now, there were other areas we hadn’t seen. Carefully, we stayed a respectful distance away from the two as they followed the boy about. We planned to get the boy to sneak under one bush and over to another part of the maze without those two seeing him, then one of the older kids who we had placed there would lead him back out safely. That way, we could continue to monitor Ken and Sam’s progress. The first part of Plan B was simple enough that it went rather well. As soon as we neared the right spot, the kid ran on ahead, much to Sam’s protests, but by the time they had caught up and rounded the corner, the kid had gone. Through the mind-link, th

Under the Blue Moon The Last Journey Home
My gaze never shifted away from Arwen as he looked down at me still, the silence deafening. Nothing seemed to happen, and I wondered if maybe I had simply misunderstood what he was implying. The ground had since stopped shaking and the souls had all returned at the Gods’ demands. Taking in a sharp breath, I helped Rem stand up again, but my thoughts did not wane. I kept thinking over what Arwen had said to me. The God seemed to at least have the patience to allow me to do that much, but I knew it wouldn’t last long. Anxiously, I finally dared to look back at Arwen. His arms were folded across his chest, as though he was dealing with a schoolroom full of children. Despite who and what I was, he was still far older than I, by many centuries. Many cultures had their own version of Death, but most of them stemmed from the same legends spread over the world, twisted into their own versions. “What… sort of price?” I finally asked, unknowing i
Under the Blue Moon A Debt Must be Paid
Thousands upon thousands of eyes stared down at me from the black hole atop the shrine. Even with all of my focus set upon my attempts to hold the ritual back, the opening to Annwn was growing larger. The ground was shaking more, to where small pieces of the ceiling were clattering down on the ground below. Whatever glow I once had was practically gone now, and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that was a bad sign.I was feeling drained and knew it wouldn’t be long now before my attempts failed completely. I relayed the news to the three behind me swiftly as the black hole expanded again. There would be nothing I could do to hold the souls back, but with luck, I might still find the strength to stop the ritual from completing fully.Or so I had hoped.A large earthquake rocked the area, causing the four of us to stumble. I couldn’t keep my balance long enough to refocus and the result was disastrous. Souls quickly started pour
Under the Blue Moon Two Steps away from Annwn
The four of us turned our full attention to the shrine ahead of us. Although the tension between Rem and Rakesh hadn’t subsided, they both put aside their personal feelings of the other to deal with the issue at hand. I wasn’t sure how the other two were handling everything, but it relieved me to not have to stress over the issue just yet.The shrine was old, hand-carved from marble stone. Etchings had been carved into it, but it had been worn from time and was harder to see what it had originally been. I suspected it was more of the same markings that had been on the doors and entrance to this place. They had placed the candles in a horseshoe shape on the surface of the marble. Within them was some burning sage.Although these items were important for most rituals, I could tell right away that even if we put out the candles or stopped the burning of the sage, it still wouldn’t stop the summoning.Kayden looked towards Ra
Under the Blue Moon New Family, Old Friends
Finding the entrance wasn’t too difficult, as it was where the Alpha had said it would be. Finding the new entrance, it was obvious that the digging of paws had made it. Therefore, it would require the two of us to crawl to get inside. I led the way, with Rem following close behind me.Despite the trouble that lay ahead of us, Rem couldn’t help but interject with, “at least I get a lovely view one last time.”I couldn’t look back at him, but I rolled my eyes. “Really, Rem?” I chided him for his childishness. Though in truth, I was glad that Rem hadn’t lost his quirky little sense of humour. “When this is all over, we can admire each other as much as we want. Promise,” I then added, a little quieter. I had hoped that after this war, we could finally find peace. Now I wasn’t so sure.Fighting mortals was one thing, but fighting what was essentially a God was something else ent
Under the Blue Moon The Last Journey
Once more, I take my human form. It seems to surprise the Alpha to find me bandaging his wounds. I hope that if we can convince him to no longer seek revenge, then he might turn into a more reasonable werewolf now that he no longer can be the fighter he once was. If we can salvage him and the others, then perhaps we can finally be at peace and no one else has to go to war on the other. Though with the loss of his mate, I wasn’t sure how the Alpha would react. At worse he would continue to seek revenge and at best; he might get locked up for the rest of his life under the Hunter’s care. “Why don’t you transform back now? It’ll be easier to patch you up,” I say to him, keeping my words firm but gentle. Ken doesn’t seem pleased with how kind I’m being to the Alpha, but after he has put silver cuffs on the Alpha to keep him weak as a precaution, he seems much more amicable to leave my side. I don’t even have to ask where he is going.
Under the Blue Moon The Luna's Victory
The pleasant late morning summer sun heated my fur and made me feel rather warm. It would have been an enjoyable morning had my mind not been full of adrenaline of what had taken place and was still going on even now. All around me, people were busying themselves with helping bandage the wounded. I, however, had no time to help. The Alpha had issued me a challenge, one that I could not really back out of.The two of us circled one another, each of us sizing the other up, but not yet ready to strike first. I was well aware of the Alpha’s skill and although he no longer knew the full extent of my own abilities; he was fully aware of who and what I was. He knew I was no longer the same half-blood he had easily overpowered in a fight before and was now much warier about what damage I could do to him.To make this a fair fight, I had removed the werewolf weapon that Rem had gone to the trouble of getting for me.Staying near me to monitor
Under the Blue Moon The Last Battle
It feels like it has been forever since this whole thing started, even though it hadn’t been that long since Rem and I had met and become mates. I had hoped life would have been simple, enjoying life blissfully, but life had other plans for me and Rem and life had sent this Alpha to shake up our two worlds. Now it had all boiled down to this.Looking around the new battlefield, it seemed with the few Ancient Ones having followed and helped with the fight to protect those who could not defend themselves; we had brought down all the Alpha’s pack members. The Alpha was the only one left still able to fight. I stood in front of the others, my tail held up in a challenging display towards him. I was sure that Ken would want to kill him, but I knew that if we allowed him to do that, nothing much would change. The survivors of the Alpha’s pack and allies would merely seek revenge and call our own pack and allies traitors.No. If I want
Under the Blue Moon Broken Bonds
I can feel the gravel shifting under my paws as Rem and I run toward our family. The Hunters are trying their hardest to fend off the Alpha and his pack members, but the enemy outnumbers them. It was strange that this pack would be out this way, as it was nowhere near the direction of the mansion nor the field in which their allies had camped out. Rem doesn’t seem to know the answer to why they would be here either, other than they knew about the exit, but that doesn’t seem too likely.The Ancient Ones following behind us also confirmed that this pack’s thoughts were of a surprise to find the Hunters and werewolves here. So it put the thought that they had known about our plans aside completely now. It was a strange coincidence, and it made me wonder what the real reason was for. What was out this way that would interest this pack, if not the hidden exits for the Hunters?As we grew
Under the Blue Moon Despair is My Destination
I could no longer smell anything other than the blood that had scattered over the surrounding fields. I was breathless from the constant fighting, but far fewer enemy werewolves were now trying to fight back. We had lost a few of our own but compared to them, we had made it out rather well. I felt sorry for those here. None of them had really started this entire war, but all of them had paid some kind of price. Meanwhile, their so-called leaders were still nowhere to be found.With a slight limp, I made my way across the field to where I could find Rem. He had seemed to fair much better than most of us in this fight, but I wasn’t really all that surprised by it. He was a powerful fighter and smart enough to manoeuvre a battlefield. My memories might have returned to me, but I was never a fighter, not even in my previous lives.He smiled down at me and offered my head a few loving scratches behind the ear, which set my tail into a frenzy of
