Calm Before the Storm
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A full day had passed by the time the Hunters had returned with the information we needed to progress our search for those who were still living in or around the London area. A few werewolf families had moved to safer locations, but one or two remained, and I hoped we could convince them to join me. As for other supernatural beings, many of them remained in the city, as the Hunters had deemed them safe enough to remain.
I was glad that the information would be more than enough to help the Ancient Ones find these beings and convince them to join our cause. I reached out with my mind and relayed the locations to them. With most of my memories returning and knowing that they had kept their minds open to me, it wasn’t a hard task. With how many of them helping us there were, I knew this would not take long at all.
Rem and the Hunters of London had gone to do their own recruiting. However, convincing humans to help wasn’t always easy. Those who were

It is amazing what asking a group of Ancient Ones to help can do for a person in just one day. I had stuck around with Rem in London despite the rest of the Hunters journeying to Cardiff in the morning. I had wanted to make sure they did not need me to meet with some groups that we had confirmation on. Thankfully, a majority of the groups had expressed a willingness to come back with us, if it meant the Hunters would relax on their rules so much. I knew asking the Ancient Ones to help was the right idea. Everyone respected them, as they were almost like gods to other supernatural beings. Sure, I was the Star, but not everyone knew of that legend or understood the importance of spirits and their effect on the world. Many didn’t even know they existed to begin with, so I decided it was far better to send the group that they revered more than me. I didn’t mind not getting all the attention, anyway. “So,” Rem said as he slipped up beside me as we m
Under the Blue Moon Werewolf Weapon
It took a solid moment for Dave to stop freaking out about Rem having a werewolf boyfriend. I wasn’t sure if he would ever stop trying to lecture Rem about it all. Luckily, the shop was rather quiet, so no one could hear him ranting and raving about werewolves and their annoying attempts at trying to force their will on others. Rem rolled his eyes as Dave tried to re-start the argument all over and moved to grab the shop floor keys from behind the desk. He seemed to make himself right at home in Dave’s shop. He locked the door and then tossed the key back over to Dave, who caught it with no issue. “Are you even listening to my complaints here, Rath!?” Dave called over to Rem as I just stood there like an idiot as I watched my lover and this short, stocky little man with fiery red hair and a bushy beard argue back and forth. “Not even a little,” Rem replied with an indifferent tone of voice. He then moved over to my side and pointed towa
Under the Blue Moon Home Invasions
We arrived back at the large mansion with a few more boxes of silver bullets and the weapon I was to wear. Rem had decided it was a good idea to equip himself with a Hunter’s gun, one that would be much quieter to shoot than any normal gun. He hoped he wouldn’t need to use it or the silver bullets, but he erred on the side of caution.I was once more checking my phone for any updates from my mother, though there was still not a peep from her. Rem’s own parents were still here, though the other Hunters had gone now. We would meet back up with them tomorrow as soon as I had word back that everything with my mother was alright.Meanwhile, Rem’s mother had baked us some cookies and had decided to stay another night so that she could get to know me better without all the cautious glances from the other Hunters. Since I had to wait for the Ancient One to get back to me, I didn’t mind the offer, even though I was anxious.
Under the Blue Moon Gathering Forces
We arrived back in Cardiff a little over midday. Rem’s parents travelled with us to keep us all together rather than splitting us up. By the time we arrived, Mrs Emerson was outside, waiting with an impatient look. On seeing us exiting the car, she nodded once to Rem’s parents and then looked back at Rem and said, “why did you not come back with the others? We have information on that clan of werewolves.”“We had to confirm some information on our side,” Rem said as he glanced at me briefly. He then adds, “and my mother was resolved to keep us another night to get to know Zach better.” He motioned for us all to head inside. “Let’s talk inside though, and we, uh, will have a large group of guests coming here tonight,” he said, seeming uneasy, which his grandmother picked up on easily.“Who have you both convinced to join us?” Mrs Emerson questioned
Under the Blue Moon Dawn of War
I hated being right. In all honesty, I was only surprised that the war hadn’t come sooner. They had probably still been gathering their own forces to combat our attempts, but now that we had numbers gathered together, they had struck at first light. I had the first sense that something was wrong when I picked up the scent of a strange wolf.I woke Rem and quickly put on the weapon he had gone to the trouble of getting for me. I had very little time to train with it, for which I was sure I would regret, but there was nothing I could have done differently.Rem gathered his Hunter gear and weapons and left for the front gates to join the others, leaving me to sound the alarm. I transformed swiftly and leaned my head back, letting out a long and loud warning howl which swiftly woke up every Hunter that wasn’t already awake and on patrol.I was sure my howl would alert my pack too, but as an extra precaution, I sent word through the
Under the Blue Moon Fate of The Wrathful
The scent of blood filled the air as I saw Rem strike down the male wolf that had dared to sneak up behind us and had leapt on my back, biting at my neck to choke me to death. The poor male’s head rolled onto the ground as the blade of Rem’s sword had cut clean through. My eyes widened at the sight. For Rem, this was business as usual, anything to protect his loved ones. For me, however, I had never taken a life before. “Oi,” Rem called out to me, “stop daydreaming and stay beside me, we’re going to have to back up a bit. More wolves are coming.” I looked up at him. He returned my gaze with a sorrowful expression, but those dark-forest green held no regret within them. I knew he would do anything for me, but to see the extent of his will to protect me was a shock. The two who had been circling us had backed off when their third friend had been slain, but now they were angry and mourning the loss of a pack member. I wanted to console the
Under the Blue Moon Holding Out
Marrok and Lupe agreed to remain with the Hunters and Rem, as a few more Hunters joined them, while I checked on the pack. Worry filled my heart about how the younger pups were handling the attack. As a Luna, it was my role to handle emotional situations as well as protect my pack. Not that Rem wouldn’t try to do so as well, but he was better to handle the fighting than I was.Fortunately, the pack seemed to be doing well, though they were nervous with the smell of the strange pack lingering around the mansion. Sam and Ken were helping keep them calm and were there in case they needed to make a sneaky getaway. I was glad to see the two were much more friendly with one another now. It gave me hope that even if my blind date hadn’t quite gone as planned, they at least had become better acquainted.I couldn’t help but smile at the two, especially when Ken noticed my bigger size. He seemed to have a double-tak
Under the Blue Moon Fire of Freedom
My fears that the enemy pack was trying to tire us out was becoming more and more real to me. Every time we pushed them back, they would send another, slightly larger group to replace them. The sky-shifters had joined us now, and it was thanks to their surprise attack that the last batch of werewolves retreated to their camp. We might not get that lucky again, as they would have warned the others about our new allies. “We need to bring the fight to them if we can,” I said, looking up at Rem as my ears pinned back against my head. “Even with us taking shifts and our sky-shifter friends joining in, we won’t hold up for too much longer.” “You don’t even know if the pack leaders are even at that camp,” Rem replied, his brows furrowing down in thought and frustration. He was not as tired as his Hunters, but it was unsure how much longer he could keep this up. The pavements were covered in blood and the odd dead wolf. It wasn’t something I had wanted

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
