All Chapters of Under the Blue Moon: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

With the information of Rem being my mate, Elder Roz invited us both to sit down near her. “There are many tales of different werewolves throughout history that have been born special compared to the rest of us,” she explained as she was trying to recall the old legends that were passed down through the generations of her pack. I nodded slowly as I listened intently to the older woman. “When I was young, Hunters killed my pack. My mother was human and could escape with me, but because of that, I don’t really know a lot,” I explained quietly. “All I know is that as a half-blood, I sometimes only half transform, so my wolf ears and tail poke out, but I can fully transform as well. Oh, and that the Moon Goddess gives us each a soul mate upon birth,” I added. Elder Roz nodded her head slowly. “Jake, get us all a nice cuppa tea,” she asked with a warm smile. “Or coffee if the Hunter prefers coffee,” she added. “Tea is fine,” Rem said with ca

Visiting the other surviving members of the other packs, I learned a little more about the ritual from their elders as well, though they could tell me little more than what Elder Roz had already told me. I could feel their sorrows over the loss of their alpha and luna just as much as I had felt Roz’s loss. This other pack had been sure to not harm the elders or the younger pack members, likely because they posed no threat to his power or position as an alpha.Still, despite this, I couldn’t forgive him for even doing this much. Was it because they had refused his ideals? Was he worried they would side with the Hunter’s and track him down for them? Did that leave these packs open to attack now, to ensure this didn’t come to pass, even though they were no actual threat to him and his pack?There were so many questions and I had no answers for any of them. For now, all I could do was try to learn as much as I could and hope t

As Rem reached me, he took out the silver stud in his ear and stored it absently in his pocket. Once more his thoughts were accessible to me, even though he still gave nothing of his plan away to me so that I could solidify my suspicions. As curious as I was, I had to have confidence in him and after chatting with the she-wolf; I felt so much better now.With a modest inclination to my head and a pleasant beam on my face, I offered Rem a gentle, “hey Rem. Everything going smoothly?”Rem squinted at me nonchalantly before he searched around and inquired, “maybe. Who were you communicating with?”“I don’t know her name, but she was a werewolf about our age, long hair, really elegant? She is probably one of the pack leaders’ daughter? Uncertain where she went, though,” I replied. I provided a modest shrug of my shoulders and waited for Rem to join me.Knitting his e

As everyone settled down into their chairs, an award silence lingered in the air, which made me even more anxious than I already was. Rem had told me things would be fine, but that didn’t mean I would not worry. After all, this was Rem’s family! And not only did I have to prove that I would not be a danger to them, but that I was also good enough to date Rem. Or that I was loyal to him.It almost felt like I was asking for Rem’s hand in marriage or something!At that thought, Rem almost choked on thin air and shot me a strange look. The other Hunters, who did not know about our mind-link, gave Rem a baffled look. This caused both of us even more awkward embarrassment, though neither of us said anything out loud at all.The matriarch of the family cleared her throat, gaining everyone’s attention away from Rem and me. We were both glad of the distraction. At least, at first.“Now, as unusual as it is to h

With our involvement in the family meeting now ended, Ken, Rem and I found ourselves in the kitchen. Rem was currently cooking up a storm - I supposed he either really enjoyed it, or this was his way of dealing with stress. Or perhaps it was a mix of the two. Either way, I was sure Rem was not happy with Ken joining us. Confusion also entered my mind about his sudden change in attitude towards me, though if this was for his own gain or because he had experienced a change in heart, I couldn’t tell.“So, will you be staying in the guest house with the other packs now?” Ken asked me as he sat next to me at the counter table that sat in view of the kitchen area. For whatever reason, he had picked the spot right beside me, despite the many other stools available.At his question, I shrugged. I kept my gaze on Rem cooking as I replied with, “I don’t know. I will probably stay in Rem’s room.”“Ah,&r
