All Chapters of Blessings From The Moon Goddess: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Throughout my birthday, and the three weeks that followed, the pack and I worked to clean up our home. It was our tradition to cremate the bodies of our kin when they died to give them an easy passage to the afterlife, and so we spent that day gathering up their bodies and bathing them, so they could be wrapped respectfully in cloth. I had helped to pick up the bodies of every other family, but I just couldn't do it for mine. I couldn't look at my father, or what was left of him, and even worse, I couldn't deal with the idea that my mother, who had hugged me, and held me, and loved me so powerfully to her last breath was dead. Liam was my strong tower in all of it. He helped me carry out my duties, picking up broken up floorboards, picking off wood from the floors on the homes we visited, and having my back, throughout. When I fell ill from the sheer stress and exhaustion, he didn't force me to be strong, or tell me any of the motivational bullshit that everyone was used to feeding

The next day, a meeting was called at the pack hall, made mandatory for all the pack members to attend, and even though I had just lost my partner, I knew that Alpha Liam deserved the title, and the respect. I made the deliberate effort to arrive there early, avoiding the glances of everyone by wearing a black dress and a black hoodie. A few people saw me, but they understood that I needed time to myself, and they let me be, going ahead to get seats in front. I sat at the back and kept my head down, feeling it in my heart the moment that Liam walked up the aisle with Anne trailing behind him. I bit my tongue to avoid a sob choking out of my throat, and I slid down even lower in the seat when they arrived at the front. This was his first official address as the Alpha, so I got up and applauded with everyone else when he arrived at his place on the podium. I sat down as quickly as I could, and he walked forward to address all of us. I looked at his face, the man that had become my wh

It had been thirty minutes more on the road, and I was already tired. The trails were bushy because they had not been walked through in quite some time, and to make matters worse, it had been rainy a few weeks prior, and coupled with the current sunlight, they were growing quite well. Dante had fallen back, tending to the horse, but Asher stuck to me like glue, getting so close that I could feel his breath down my neck. I shut my eyes to it and refused to feel the sensation, but at a point, I got exasperated and turned to face him, smirking in satisfaction as my braided hair whipped around with me and slapped his face. “Look, what is it? You already said we're going the same way. We agreed that I would lead the way. We're already in so much agreement, so why the hell are you breathing down my neck?”“No, I-”“Listen to me,” I continued, holding up my hand, “there is such a thing as personal space, and you are going to have to respect mine. I want to be able to turn around with my br

More of the guards trooped out, six of them in number, advancing towards me. Afraid, I went to stand behind the horses, moving away from the tips of the spears. Instead of moving away like I had hoped, the guards came after me, pushing Dante and Asher away from me.“Alpha Dante. Alpha Asher, please move away from the intruder. We will keep you safe.”Dante turned around to try to explain, and instead fell on his injured foot, which had now swollen up to almost twice its size. Asher looked between me and Dante who was on the floor and decided to help Dante, taking so much time that the guards have the time to grab me and push me into an uncomfortable position. It hurts, but I bite my tongue to keep myself from yelling.It is not the right time to play hero, not the right time to fight, so I do as I am told, folding my knees up under me and spreading my arms wide out. One guard walks over to me, a woman, and she begins to pat me down, pulling my knapsack off my back.A few minutes that

Mere moments after pulling up the covers around my shoulder, I fell into a nice, long sleep. “Miss Olivia? Miss Olivia!” I swatted away the voice that was speaking to me, ignoring it. I figured that if I ignored it long enough, it would leave. I was having a good dream, and I didn't want it to end. Yet there they were, an incessant knocking. For a second, the voices seemed to have swelled, and my eyes snapped open. I had forgotten about dinner, I realized, and I hopped off the bed, Landon on the floor with a yell. “I'm coming! Please hold on!”I pushed the covers off my body and tossed them on to the bed, pulling open the door. It didn't open, and I froze for a second before remembering that I
