2024-10-29 19:42:56Placing a change of clothes in the alley nearest the hotel, I was ready this time for the need to transform if I required the need. It would not catch me out again by not having something to wear once I became human again, however, I hoped I would not need to transform, to begin with. I listened carefully to my surroundings and moved with caution.
The howling was not consistent, and I had to guess the direction to head in until I could hear or smell something that hinted if I was going the right way or not. After a while, I got a potent scent of a couple of werewolves in the garden’s next to the castle. Seeing the entrance locked up, I decided I would need to climb the wall. It wasn’t tall, but it was high enough that I had to put in the effort to get up there.
I waited on the wall, perched to listen carefully for any signs of Hunters or the werewolves I was searching for. Finally, another howl echoed from further in the park. That was all I ne

Under the Blue Moon The Alpha's Plan
The moment I stepped out of my hiding spot, the alpha’s attention turned on me. His ears perked forward and his tail stood up erect and curled slightly at the tip. He was demonstrating to me that he was the dominant male of his group and that I needed to submit to him or be willing to fight him. I knew I couldn’t win against him in a fight and I had no pack to backup my actions should I choose to display my own alpha status. With that in mind, I laid my ears back against my head as a sign that I was defensive, but not aggressive towards him or his pack. I glanced at the younger group, who seemed to know exactly who I was. They seemed relieved to see me, but still unsure of what to do. None of them dared to break the code of agreement and remained in their human forms even now. “These packs live in peace here,” I said to the alpha. I kept my voice calm and collected. “You’re endangering not o
Under the Blue Moon Battle Cry
An eerie silence filled the area as our eyes locked with one another. One Hunter had been one of the two I had led away from the Scottish beings I had run into while in London, but the other Hunter made my skin crawl with fear of what was to come.Rem’s cousin.He knew who I was without even missing a heartbeat.“You!” He hissed out at me. “I knew you were here somewhere!”The alpha looked down at Rem’s cousin and then back to me. “You have had run-ins with this one?” He questioned.I nodded slowly. What could I say? I wasn’t a fan of this Hunter by any stretch of the means, but that didn’t mean I would let him get hurt or worse, get killed. Rem would never forgive m
Under the Blue Moon No More Heroes
The Hunter’s Bitch.That’s what they had called me the moment the alpha had realised what the strange scent on me was. My body had gone into heat quicker than my will to plan an escape, and now I could not make heads or tails of my surroundings. If the alpha had been angry at me before, he was furious now. His rage was full of blood-lust and to him, I was no better than the Hunter’s I had given myself to.I felt his head ram into my side with sheer force as he knocked me down to the ground. I let out a slight whimper of pain. Unlike female werewolves, my heat had spared my body much of what they went through, so I had enough sense of my surroundings to know that I needed to flee. However, the pack refused me the chance. They snapped and bit at my heels as I tried to back away.My only choice, if fl
Under the Blue Moon Our Solemn Hour
Everything was a shadowy haze as voices bickered and grew around me. Was this what heaven was like? Or maybe I was with the Moon Goddess now? I couldn’t tell where I was or who was talking. It was so vague, like a quiet echo that had travelled miles to reach me. I was at peace and at first, I couldn’t recall what I had been doing before. Slowly, my eyes flickered open to the sound of an elderly woman’s voice. “Waking up at last, are you? Good.” Slowly, I looked around. Everything was blurry. I could barely make anything out of the one eye, while something shrouded my other eye in blackness. Slowly, I found the owner of the voice. A light grey-haired woman with a face full of wrinkles. Her eyes held a familiar sight of blueish green. “I’m telling you, we should kill it now, not bring it back to health,” a younger woman’s voice huffed out loud. I couldn’t see her, but she must have been somewhere behind a curtain that surrounded the bed I
Under the Blue Moon Worth It
A few days had gone by with me recovering in this room. I wasn’t quite in a hospital, but it had all the required equipment I would need if anything became a problem. Rem visited me often, making sure I was healing up and that none of his family had hassled me, though his aunt - the older woman, seemed very strict in who she allowed in the room with me. In my time recuperating here, I learned that although Rem had saved me from the alpha, he, his luna and most of his pack had escaped. The few who hadn’t escaped had stubbornly fought to the death. That hadn’t shocked me, but I was rather bitter about the situation. I couldn’t side with just one point of view. No matter how I looked at things, the Hunters had put them through so much pain and suffering. As soon as I could walk around again, Rem had permission to take me out and about, so long as he kept me under his supervision and that I did not wander and snoop on Hunter
Under the Blue Moon Lost Without You
After enjoying our snacks and drinks, Rem and I settled down on his bed to watch some TV. To my surprise, Rem enjoyed the odd anime here and there, so we settled down to watch some old classics. No one disturbed us, likely for fear of irritating Rem. Even among his own family, he was rather short with them and would confront them if they made him irritable. By now, I had become accustomed to his nature of being cold, yet caring deeply about people.“So do you think your heat is finally over?” The question seemed to come out of nowhere, throwing me off guard.I could feel my cheeks grow warm, but I played it off smoothly. “I think so, but we haven’t been able to satisfy it since we last spent time alone, so who knows?” Glancing at Rem from the corner of my good eye, I could see him flush deeply.“Well, I don’t feel strange, or didn’t…” Rem tried to say, though he was floundering a
Under the Blue Moon Everything I Wanted
What started with little nips and kisses to Rem’s neck soon turned into a full-on makeout session. I leaned forward slightly, pressing my chest up against his. I knew he was trying to be mindful of the wounds on my face still, but he was slowly growing needier by the moment. My actions were certainly not helping his case, either.As I trailed my lips down to Rem’s chest, he let out a breathless moan, which he broke with a bite to his lower lip. He was struggling to keep his body in check with what he was telling himself. It was cute how hard he was trying to hold back, for my sake.After a moment, my teasing had become too much for Rem to handle. With a gentle push on my shoulders, Rem mumbled out a soft, “if you keep this up, I won’t be able to hold back anymore.”I glanced up at Rem,
Under the Blue Moon Elder Roz
The next morning, Rem had permission to take me to see the werewolves that they had taken into another building behind the mansion. They used it for the extended family if the main estate had no room left open, but it was still large enough for quite a large group of people.Two guards stood outside of the building. At first, I thought they were Hunters from a distance, but as we got closer, I could tell that they were actually werewolves, though they seemed to lack any scent that gave them away. The younger ones I had met had enough of a scent that I could tell what they were with easiness.The guards seemed wary of Rem but allowed us passage with no fuss. They appeared to have been expecting someone to come around today.The werewolf on the right said, “one of the younger ones will be with you shortly. The elder has been waiting for your visit.”Rem nodded and entered the entrance and motioned me

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
