Not Lion Tonight

2021-04-26 08:40:26The night passed by uneventfully. The loud drunkards had thankfully gone by the time my ride on the London Eye ended, and I made my way back over the river. I headed back to my hotel room and laid down on the bed to watch some TV. Nothing too interesting was on, but it made for a relaxing evening. I wondered if it was worth going out again after a nap.
I didn’t want to overwork myself trying to find my mate, and even if I didn’t meet them in person, their scent would have lingered around long enough to know they had been around either way. I realised I would need a lot of rest after a long day of travelling and not to mention all the sightseeing I planned for tomorrow.
I turned off the tv and got changed into something more comfortable for the night. I then headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed. As a werewolf, I had more stamina than a human, but I soon realised just how tired I actually was. It had been a long day, even if I had taken it fairly easy.
As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up again, it was morning. I stretched and glanced at my phone for the time. It was just gone eight, and I felt well-rested enough that I didn’t bother lazing in. I wanted to visit Buckingham Palace at the very least today, so after brushing my teeth, showering and then getting changed into a tank-top and shorts, I headed downstairs for breakfast.
Buckingham Palace was as beautiful as I thought it would be. I had seen it on TV and in photos before, but the real thing was so much better! I took another selfie of myself and sent it off to my mother with a good morning message. After that, I checked out the Tower of London and the National History Museum.
I took a lot of pictures and met a lot of wonderful people that were also visiting London. I noticed many other supernatural beings, but none of them were werewolves. Now and then I picked up a scent of one or two distinct groups, but they were usually a day old. I didn’t think too much about it. As long as my presence did not threaten them, then there was no trouble brewing for me.
After a good long day, I visited a local shop to pick up a sandwich and a drink and headed to one of the nearby parks to rest and recover for the rest of the afternoon before I had to return to the hotel to get showered and changed for the nights show I was going to watch.
I sat near a large lake and stretched out on the grass. I could hear the birds chirping all around me. It was peaceful and enjoyable. I closed my eyes and let myself doze off for a few minutes. I could feel the warm sun on my skin, and it was easy to forget that surrounding me was the hustle and bustle of London life.
I woke up about an hour later and glanced at my phone for the time. I wasn’t late, but I knew I had to head back to the hotel now or else I wouldn’t have time to shower and eat both. Sure I had eaten a snack earlier, but I didn’t want to buy snacks for the show - they were always so overpriced!
Yawning, I stretched out my arms and casually made my way back to my hotel. I grabbed something to eat first and then headed to my room for a shower. I could enjoy city life if it was like this all the time, but I knew that working somewhere so chaotic was not as enjoyable every day compared to just visiting.
After getting cleaned up, which included a shave - I took out a rather fancy outfit. It wasn’t an expensive one, but it was a smart shirt and pants, which were coupled with shiny black shoes. I looked at myself in the mirror. My bronze skin looked smooth, and I slicked my hazel brown hair back into a smart style.
I put just a small dash of citrus cologne on. Enough to make me smell great, but not enough to be overpowering to the heightened smell my kind had. I looked absolutely handsome if I didn’t say so myself! If I ran into my mate tonight, I would be ready to show off.
The show I was going to see was the ever-popular The Lion King. I had never gone before and although my mother enjoyed watching Disney movies with me; she had never taken me to a live musical before. I felt almost bad that she wouldn’t be here to enjoy it with me but I had saved up enough money so I made sure I had enough to get some sort of souvenir for her.
I made my way to the theatre where the show was to be put on. I was early enough that I could get in without too long of a wait, though I could already tell the place would be full tonight! The atmosphere was pretty excitable as people from all walks of life had come here to enjoy the night.
One worker there led me to my balcony seat. I had saved up more money to enjoy the night to the fullest. Had I been with a small group I might have enjoyed it more with all the other people down below, but being on my own I had worried about Hunters and others that would be uncomfortable by my presence and had decided to just sit alone. It wasn’t overly common, but not unusual enough that I would stand out.
As the show started, I settled down to enjoy it. Of course, being on my own meant I could sing along to the familiar songs without bothering other people around me. It didn’t take me long to get into the show. Even the bits that were made only for the musical had me entertained. I would absolutely have to bring my mum here next time!

At the half-time break for the show, I left to grab myself another drink and to stretch my legs a little. The theatre was as jam-packed as I knew it would have been. Not that I had been paying too much attention, but I knew my mate was not here tonight despite the crowds.However, what I did smell was a few other werewolves, a few vampires - which you can tell by their life-less smell which very few can pick up on, and of course, a few other scents that I wasn’t too sure on. However, I assumed they were other supernatural beings. I prayed none were Hunters.I heard an announcement shortly after the quick break that the show would resume soon, so I quickly made my way back to my balcony seating area. I looked out over the edge to the swarming mass below. That was when I felt something that made my skin crawl.Someone was watching me. I scanned the area, but I saw nothing unusual. Had I imagined it? I furrowed my brows in deep thought,

The oldest one of the bunch, a man who looked old enough to be my great grandfather, was lazily swinging a leg over the wall of the park. One of the youngest was crouching down on top of the streetlight, as though something like that was as natural as the moon at night. The others were here and there, some on the ground, some on lampposts, and others on the wall. If a Hunter saw them, they would easily know they were not human.I counted at least ten of them, and I knew right away that they outnumbered me. I knew that even one of these people could easily overpower me if they were looking for a fight. So far, their only actions had been to intimidate me unseen until I had been alone.“What do you want?” I asked, turning my full attention to the oldest. Truth be told, I wasn’t sure what they were, but I hoped he was the leader of the group and was the one I needed to address. I prayed to the Goddess that I was right. I tried to h

After the little game of tag between me and the two hunters, I realised I had left behind my mother’s gift I had just brought. It was back at the area where I had run into that group of golden-eyed people. I sighed and wondered if I should try to loop around and try to head back to the area. I hoped it might still be there, seeing how late in the morning it was.I couldn’t transform back into my human form, with no clothes to put on, and I wasn’t sure if it was safe for me to just wander around in my wolf form. I was a bigger target in this form than I ever would be in my human form. Luckily for me, there were enough back allies and things around that I could easily navigate without too much risk of running into people.The only downside was the smell most of these places had. Sick from drunkards, piss and other scents were often overpowering. Even to where I might smell nothing else there and that anything else could include Hu

As the Hunter turned the corner, he paused and looked at me. I could see the smug look on his face as he looked me up and down. I wanted to bite his face clean off, but I had to keep my cool. There was no use in gaining even more attention than I already gathered.The fur on my tail was standing on end. This Hunter made me anxious. So far, he hadn’t pulled a gun on me, which was a good sign that I could carry out my escape plan without him shooting at me and potentially hurting or killing me before I could get far in my escape.“Oi, Jones! Come ‘ere! We got ourselves a little mongrel!” The Hunter called out to one of his friends. I seethed at the insult. It was always the same kinds, and I loathed it. Though what had given me away?As this ‘Jones’ person joined his friend, they both let out a laugh. “Shit man, when I heard the guy’s account of his size, I was expecting some actual wolf but al

After finally getting back to the hotel and crashing out almost instantly, I awoke to the sound of the late morning sounds. Last night almost didn’t feel real to me. Today I had plans to do a bit more sightseeing and other more relaxed activities. I hoped that the Hunters would have given up their search for me, but part of me doubted it.After showering, dressing for the day, and grabbing something to eat in the hotel, I was ready for one last day as a tourist. This time, I was more cautious about my surroundings and who took notice of me. I visited several famous statues, fountains and other landmarks around the area and visited some excellent restaurants too.The day passed by quickly, and I was thankful that the Hunters didn’t seem to be around during the day. Or I assumed not. It made sense; it was far too busy during the day to actively hunt d

The journey into Wales had been far less stuffy and hot than my trip into London. I was rather thankful for a bit more space on the bus this time around. I had stretched my legs in the aisle for most of the journey, as no one had sat next to me. What was even more surprising to me was that I had even got a nap in for a couple of hours, so by the time we had arrived in the city; I was well-rested.The hotel I was staying at was a short walk from where the trains and buses came and went. The area itself was rather open and even had a pub which also worked as a restaurant right near the corner of the street. My mother had been right, Cardiff was not as large seeming as London had been, but it was still quite busy for the late afternoon hours.I looked at my phone to check the location of my hotel and nodded. Luckily, it wasn’t far away at all and I could easily walk there from where I had arrived. With a small smile to myself, I headed to the

The building seemed relatively normal for a pub, but something felt off about the place. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but there was a scent that my nose did not agree with. Despite the strange feeling and the odd smell, one other scent had grabbed my attention in particular. I could tell that it was at least a day or two old, but more than that, I wasn’t sure. It was familiar but also nothing like I had smelt before.Puzzled, I tried to mingle in with the crowds as best as I could. From what I could tell, everyone who came here was human. The staff, the customers, even the bouncers. I sat down near the entrance with a pint and glanced out the window. Several supernatural beings walked past, laughing and talking to one another, but when they spotted me, they looked surprised. As though I shouldn’t be there. I couldn’t explain it, but that was when I realised something was of

The next day I brought a little stuffed toy of a Welsh dragon, a box to put it in, a postcard which I wrote, a greetings message and a few other little trinkets. I then headed to the post office which I found by chance. The people working there helped with the steps I needed to take to ensure my mother got the package. With that done, I headed off to book a seat at TGI Fridays for later in the evening.With that done, I headed to the comic shop and got myself a few comics to read and a cute little keyring. I wasn’t a huge comic book fan, but I enjoyed a few mangas here and there depending on the plotline they had. Berserk was probably one of my favourites, but the volumes were always bulky so I usually ordered them instead.After some sightseeing, which included the castle, which I had to pay to get in - though apparently, those who lived or worked in the

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
