Seraphine squinted her eyes as the rays of the morning sun filtered through the curtains. She had spent most of the night thinking of a way out, and now it was time to make a decision. She got ready for the day and left her room. The pack house was silent as she descended the stairs. Soraya and some other witches were already waiting for her in the main hall. Joining forces with the Bluemoon Pack would give her more power, security and a means to defeat her enemies, but it also meant turning her back on everything her pack had stood for, betraying the legacy her father had fought and died to protect. The witches' eyes followed Seraphine as she approached. Soraya’s gaze was sharp and expectant. "Have you made your decision, Seraphine?" she asked, her voice echoing through the hall. Taking a deep breath, Seraphine straightened her back and squared her shoulders to put on a bold font: "I have. I am sorry, but I cannot align with you, Soraya. The cost is too high. It is something I can re

  • Veil of the Bloodmoon    Murder mystery.

    " The Alpha of the Bluemoon pack is dead, and I am the only witness," she whispered, the severity of the situation dawning on her. "They can't possibly think you were the one that killed him, right? Let's just be glad the rogues have left now, they will most certainly regroup and come soon, so we need to leave." Gareth said. However, Seraphine's troubles were far from over. Within the next few hours, rumors would spread that she was the one responsible for Carlson's death. The witches would believe that she had betrayed them, and seek retribution. Soraya would most likely be convinced that Seraphine had orchestrated the assassination and call for her capture. Worry made her insides twist as she wondered how she could get herself out of this situation. Just then, "Seraphine,"she heard her name being called. She turned, and it was Soraya, her voice cold and cutting. "We need to talk." Seraphine straightened, meeting Soraya's gaze with steely determination. "I have nothing more to say to

  • Veil of the Bloodmoon    The truth.

    Seraphine stared in shock, the bodyguard had just confirmed the stranger's words. " She ordered me to contact the rogues and arrange Alpha Carlson’s assassination. She told me to get him out of the way." He said hastily. Seraphine felt a momentary wave of relief and then anger washed over her. "Why would she do this? What is her plan?" She didn't get to finish her question before he pulled a white potion out of his pocket and poured it into his mouth before any of them could blink. Her eyes widened as his mouth started foaming almost immediately. The stranger immediately sprung to action, he turned the bodyguard's head upside down and tried to make him spill out the potion, but it was already late, his body convulsed a few times before he became still with his eyes staring lifelessly into space and his lips turning black. Seraphine stared at what just happened in horror, "What in the seven worlds just happened ?" she asked. "He ingested poison. It is a common practice with assassins.

  • Veil of the Bloodmoon    After the kidnap.

    Elara's POVOne of Alpha Daven's rogues carried me on his back till we got out of my sister's sight, then dropped me on the ground with a thud. I straightened my back to ease the pain. I didn't think Seraphine would realize I was gone so soon. These men were supposed to have taken me away before Seraphine managed to find out I was gone. I don't know why she had been hellbent on leaving Redmoon so quickly, she ruined all my plans, and now I had to think of a way out. ---------- A few hours earlier. I watched Seraphine as she turned to leave. She seemed to think everything that was happening was her fault. Well, technically, it was, if she had not insisted that we leave Redmoon in the middle of the night, we wouldn't have been attacked and no one would be so tired and injured. Grabbing the clothes she gave me, I walked to the back of the camp. After changing, I made a slow whistle and a black pigeon flew in and perched on my shoulder. Looking around to make sure there was no one looking

    "You do not have to kill her," I said nervously, my heart was beating so loudly that I was sure he could hear it. "You just have to make sure she doesn't return till after the coronation," I continued. "And then what?" He asked. "What will happen to her when she returns to the Palace? She won't just sit around and watch me rule, and I will have you know, I don't take it lightly when my authority is questioned," he said threateningly as he walked around me. "Well, you can make her submit," I stuttered. He was in my face in an instant, his hands gripping my jaw tightly. "That's not possible, I can't be the ultimate Alpha King if we have your sister going around with that little Luna power of hers. The permanent and only solution is that we kill her. Do you agree or not?!" He yelled. Trying my best not to shiver, I nodded and he released my face. "You can do with her what you please, as long as my conditions are met, we are good. We will rule the kingdom together," I said in a low voice,

    "The neighboring packs have stopped paying their respective tributes. We all know what could happen next. The werewolf kingdom needs a new Alpha King, and we need one now!" Another man yelled from the back, earning a lot of agreeing nods and murmurs from the rest. "What are you insinuating, Gerald? What do you mean, "we all know what could happen next" ?" Saleem, the leader of the eastern house, countered, walking forward. "How dare you insinuate treason in the Palace? The supremacy and power of the late King Alaric will never die," he continued, his face looking a bit red from his outburst. "Don't try to impress anyone with your fake and over-pronounced loyalty. We all know how selfish you are. " Whatever you say here can only be in your best interest," another man countered, making Saleem's face even redder. He wagged his hands in front of him at the offensive comment as he tried to get other words out, his face turning a sick shade of green. The sound of the main doors opening inte

    Later that evening at Casper's House, Casper watched a bit bored as his son paced around in his office. "Beta Theon is being stubborn. Can't we just get rid of him? He seems to have this sick idea that he will play Alpha for as long as he likes. Everyone should have started preparing for my coronation by now," he said, his frustration obvious. "No, we can't get rid of the Beta. If we do, the remaining elders will flock around the throne like flies," Casper said calmly. "He is being very difficult. How are we going to get him to work for us? What if the Queen returns? Let me go with a few men, and we will hunt her down and make sure she never does," he said, leaning over his father's table. "Everyone has a price. We just need to find the right thing one for Theon. He will work for us sooner or later," he said. "The little Queen is not going to return. Her little show of power was fun while it lasted. I have ordered men to discreetly kill her and anyone with her as soon as she tries to c

    The room was cool and shadowy, illuminated by multiple flickering candlelights. 'He' sat at the end of the room on what looked like his own personal throne. His eyes glinted with an almost unnatural intensity as he turned to face me. Seraphine held her breath as she leaped against the door that Soraya had just gone through. She had seen the older woman sitting all by herself looking sad and dejected, which came as a surprise to her. Before she could decide whether to approach her or not, Soraya had stood up and started looking around suspiciously. Seraphine had followed her when she took a mysterious turn to a passage that no one would have thought existed. She had almost given herself away when she stepped on a twig. She held her breath for what felt like hours before the woman continued. Seraphine couldn't get a glimpse into the room when Soraya entered. She leaned her ears against the door as she tried to hear what they were saying. "Soraya," 'he' said, his voice smooth and command

    With a sigh, Soraya took a seat opposite her. "This is going to take a while," she started. According to stories, during the purge when witches were being prosecuted, the world had presumed all witches to be corrupt. However, the problem was that the vast majority of witches then had started using dark magic, which fed on people's souls and rendered them heartless, and they killed people indiscriminately. That is what led to the misconception that all witches are wicked. And based on what I have known my whole life, all witches using dark magic have been killed, including my parents, until tonight." "What do you mean?" Seraphine asked. "When I was nineteen, I was kicked out of yet another pack. Alwin took me in when I was wandering around hungry and homeless. He took me under his wing and taught me almost everything I know." "Who is he? I would assume he is a witch too," Seraphine asked. Soraya was skeptical, growing silent for a moment.

  • Veil of the Bloodmoon    Victory at last

    The women finally dispersed, Seraphine looked back at the gathering of the happy wolves. She got a series of subtle nods of respect and warm smiles from the people around her. A massive bonfire roared in the center of the clearing; its golden flames crackled, sending sparks dancing into the night. It reminded Seraphine of the late-night parties they used to have back at the pack where she was born. She leaned against a wooden barrel near a makeshift table piled high with food and jars of alcohol. A group of teenage wolves ran around the edge of the clearing as they played a game of tag. Their laughter was loud and carefree, making her smile. “It’s good to see them like this,” Soraya sat beside her, holding two wooden mugs. She looked more relaxed than Seraphine had seen her since she arrived and there was a rare smile on her face, but her eyes held a certain sadness in them. Seraphine was sure she had taken Carlson's death very badly. Seraphine nodded in appreciation when she handed h

  • Veil of the Bloodmoon    The calm before the storm.

    By dawn, Soraya was completely healed. Seraphine and the other witches listened in horror as she told them what had transpired between her and Aldwin. "Why did you go by yourself? Do you have a death wish?" Seraphine admonished. "I have known him my whole life. I wanted to try and see if I could make him change his mind," Soraya said quietly. "Apparently, it didn’t turn out well," Seraphine scolded. "You could have died," she continued. "I know, but I couldn't just sit back and watch him kill innocent people. He killed the only man I have ever loved, and I let him get away with it. I won't let it happen again," Soraya said firmly. The night was thick with tension as the witches, Seraphine and her guards assembled outside Aldwin's house. The moon shone brightly in the sky, it was as if the moon goddess was with them. Seraphine exchanged a glance with Soraya. The woman had warned them of how powerful he was. "We are ready for anything," Seraphine said, her voice steady and unwavering. S

    "What was that?" Seraphine asked urgently as she and Soraya walked into the room. Seraphine had seen the look of sheer horror on the older woman's face when she was looking at what had happened outside. "It is called mind grabbing," a voice interjected. Seraphine looked up to see an old woman walk into the room. "Amaya," Soraya gasped, going towards the woman and assisting her to a chair. The old woman was almost eighty years old, but she was still as agile as ever. She shot the witch a look as she attempted to assist her. She was the older sister to the woman that died this morning, and she was one of the oldest people in the pack. "What you saw is one of the most dangerous forms of black magic. It takes over the soul and mind of the person hexed, and their actions can be completely controlled by whoever is behind it." She continued. Seraphine shared a look with Soraya as they both came to the obvious conclusion. "It's Aldwin," Soraya said, her voice resigned. "We have to stop him. H
