All Chapters of The Luna’s Choice : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Emily Years ago, when their land had become wolf territory and they built the dungeon, the entrance was built at the far most edge. Then the dungeon itself runs underneath human land… and thank goodness for that mistake. Because it meant she couldn’t stay there during the trial. The rule stated anyone on trial must stay within pack land. And since the dungeon technically wasn’t located inside the lines of the territory, it meant Emily could not, and would not go back there. Thank goddess. They had many empty cabins and cottages for people to stay in, just for instances like these. When they had big events or meetings, people needed somewhere to stay. Some of the houses had been abandoned… by wolves who either found their mates and left to go to another pack.. and some from people that had sadly passed away. Then there were a few that were built so they’d have extra space… again for times such as this, or if a new family became part of the pack. The council would stay in the

EmilyThe PresentShe was brought out of her memories by the front door closing, her brother bringing in some bags of food. They were staying in the house right next door to her, but she knew they’d be here with her most of the time. Once dinner was ready and they sat down to eat the conversation turned to the trial. Of course they wanted to know what happened, and she wished she could tell them everything but she couldn’t, not yet anyway. You never knew who was listening, and she wouldn’t put it past Nick to have his guards spying on her… or Sophia anyway. There could even be listening devices in this cabin. So she told them it would all come out soon….. and as soon as she felt safe enough, she would tell them everything. They had no choice but to agree. Once they finished eating someone knocked on the door. The closer she got to the door, the slower her steps became. By the time she was at the door she just stood there looking at it… not opening it. They knocked again… scari

Emily Emily tossed and turned all night. Her interaction with Lorenzo had her all worked up. She couldn’t get comfortable even though it was the first time she’d slept in an actual bed in days. She was burning up. She got up and stripped down to her underwear then opened the window. Hopefully the sounds of the forest and lake would settle her. But still, she couldn’t sleep. She was too hot. She didn’t remember the last time she was burning up so much…. Probably the day of her first shift. She fell into a troubled sleep, remembering the fever and pain from that day long ago…..THE PAST Emily had fallen back asleep on the couch. Her dad was putting rags on her head dipped in the ice buckets he had brought in. She would wake a few moments, then drift back out again. She watched as he placed the cloth that had been on her head into the ice. It was so hot from her fever she could see the ice melting. She didn’t know how long she had been there but then she heard a familiar voic

Emily She could see it the moment it happened … when Nick realized what he had said. He’d stuck his foot all the way in his mouth and down his throat. So much that he seemed to start choking and had to cough a moment before he could answer. Emily knew there should’ve been guards there that night. But then so much had happened since then, she’d forgotten to even question it. “Oh yes… well…. They weren’t there.” Nick said. “Where were they?” Reymond asked. “I’m…. Im not sure.” Nick said. “Isn’t that something you ought to know?” Glasses guy asked him. “I’m afraid that seeing my sister on the ground and my mate as her wolf took precedence to everything else.” Nick was getting snappy. “Alright…” Red tried to calm the room down some, “who was supposed to be there?” Nick looked down a moment then said he wasn’t sure. But they had archives of who was on patrol that night…. There were wolves who were members of the guard, they signed a sign up sheet and wrote the area where they w

Lorenzo He and Janine were still laying on the ground. He didn’t know how long they’d been there but after they’d finished round one.. they went for round two and then three. They were laying there, not talking just enjoying the sounds of the stream trickling when they heard in the distance a sudden ‘POP!’ Lo jumped up looking around. “What was that?” Janine whispered. “Is someone else out here?” It was very possible another wolf or one of Nick’s guards were out… but they were well into the middle of the forest, the guards should be on the perimeter. And it was the middle of the night… it was doubtful another wolf was out so late. “Shhh!” Lo shushed her, listening closely. But he didn’t hear anything else. He turned to Janine. “Maybe we should head back.” He said. So they shifted back into their wolves and started their way back through the forest. After a moment of walking they heard the ‘POP!’ sound again. Something was out there with them… and it was big. The popping s
