2024-10-29 19:42:56My 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

The scent of burning flesh and blood filled my nose as I sank my teeth into the werewolf’s leg, the silver of the fang-guards instantly reacting to the skin upon contact. I had hoped that if I wounded enough of the legs of these new assailants, they could not return to the fight again so soon. I wouldn’t wound them to the point they couldn’t walk, but it would be enough that they’d be useless in a brawl. I spat the fur out of my mouth and looked about quickly. There weren’t as many losses as I had feared on this group’s part, but they had hurt one hunter, and so things had looked a little tense until at last, the werewolves Lupe had asked to join us arrived. Though things were far from over. Rem and the other Hunter were tending to their fallen friend’s wounds while we held the werewolves back. There were still more of them than us, but we had injured enough of them that we had gained the upper hand for now. I snarled at an approaching werewolf
Under the Blue Moon Through the Storm
The time spent fighting the new wave seemed to last a lifetime, but eventually, we drove them off. The waves were getting quicker now as another wave was ready to leave to attack us. If they were picking up speed, then perhaps they thought we were getting weaker? Or perhaps they were hoping to tire us out quickly so that we’d not be able to rest as easily between fights? Whatever their plan was, I was ready for them. As was Rem. I doubted this back knew Rem and I were mates, so they wouldn’t have factored in the whole mind-link situation we had going on. Though I was unsure if they were aware that our pack had merged with the others and become ours. Even if they were aware, I made sure never to show my full hand of how many of my pack members could fight, or how strong or weak they were. Finally, the word from the others reached my mind that it was safe to progress with the next phase of our plan. I was relieved that it had come before this new
Under the Blue Moon The Fields of Blood
Several of my people jumped straight into the fight, while others stay back to protect me. My primary focus is to find the Alpha and Luna if they are here in the camp. I want to bring them down more than I do their followers, but so far, I can’t smell them anywhere near. The field is enormous, however, so not smelling them right away isn’t too strange. With my heightened senses, I listen for anyone talking about them near me or calling for backup with their howls. Nothing so far. I decided I might have to check the camp on foot, but, strangely, the leaders aren’t front and centre. That won’t be easy for me to do right now, but perhaps once Rem and his group have arrived, I may get that chance. For now, I decided to help those of my members who need an extra set of teeth instead. I won’t allow these people to gang up on anyone. I spot someone in trouble right away. Four medium-sized werewolves surrounded a Hunter, snapping and growling a
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
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 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 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.

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 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.

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
