Ciaran ducked, dodged, and leaped over fallen bodies, both wolf and vampire, as he slew his own victims in his search for the true prize. The one they were all looking for to end this war. The Queen. He could hear the thunder of her wing beats. Could sense her deadly presence, but not her exact location. He continued to shred through the pale and blood red of the undead. Soon he realized the vampires were not alone.Alpha Tobias and his pack sounded their war cry with a deep long howl as they arrived upon the scene. The one eyed alpha was running head on towards Ciaran. His blonde wolf collided with Ciaran's pure white beast. Guttural growls erupted as teeth gnashed and powerful paws slashed at each other. Tobias locked his jaws around Ciaran's shoulder and shook viciously, dislocating it from its socket. Ciaran ignored the pain in his shoulder as he twisted out of his jaws and snapped his own around the back of Tobias's neck, over his spine. Ciaran jerked straight as he st
The following day was hard on the pack as a whole, having lost many good members of the pack. Family and friends gathered around the funeral pier, each holding a candle stick. As each person walked up to pay their last respects to the dead, Ciaran and Runa stood tall in front of everyone. "We've lost many in our battle. Each one a valued member of the Blood Moon pack. May the moon goddess shine your path into the eternal light at her side in the heavens." Ciaran's voice was husky with emotion as he raised his hands towards the rest of the pack members. "If anyone wishes to say anything about our bravely fallen brothers and sisters please step forward and speak now." No one stepped forward. Every pack member was either holding someone else or being held themselves. Grief, loss, two emotions not so easily to work through even for those who have lost so many. Empathy was shown to many around the clearing, as was love and loyalty. "Families of the fallen, please
The pack heard the roar and raced through the yard when no one could find the Alpha or Luna. Everyone followed the sound of battle and found their leaders out numbered twenty to one. Jackie was the first to shift and jump in the fight as she saw Runa take a heavy blow to the head from a vampire who had picked up a fallen tree limb to use as a bat. It did not take the rest of the pack long before they were all shifting to save their Alpha and Luna. Hisses and growls filled the night and silenced the crickets and critters. Tristan let out another monstrous roar before jumping into the night sky, vanishing though not completely. The sound of his wings helped to pinpoint his location. Though with so many fighting on the ground, it was still quite a challenge. Runa regained her senses just in the knick of time to dodge another swing of the makeshift bat. Her eyes caught sight of a wing flap as Tristan crossed the moon's glowing surface, he planned to dive into the fight. Tristan tucked
A year and a half later.So much has changed in the pack in the previous year. Runa had really stepped into her roll as Luna. She broke ground on a new playground for the children. She had drawn out plans to build onto the hospital to make room for better equipment and technology so more tests could be run with sooner results. Runa would not let Ciaran know, but she had been quite concerned about her health lately and was growing curious to know more about her hybrid blood. Ruby had informed her on what medical machinery would surrender understandable results, and she would leave a note on Ciaran's desk. She and Ciaran had another scare, no to long ago. They almost did not make it. If not for Ruby's extensive knowledge about modern medicine, they both would have died just from a walk through the woods around the territory. They had had a run in with some hunters, she had been shot five times and he was shot seven. The blood loss they both sustained was critical. So, Runa and Ruby h

She knew she was being watched, yet even with her heightened eyesight, she could not spot the suspect who had her flesh on fire. The thought of going out to investigate has never really scared her before, yet this time things were different. Half of her was thinking something was wrong and the other half was leaping for joy at the excitement of something new to discover. Facing the inner battle head-on, she decided to check things out to be sure things were fine."I'm stepping outside for a minute. I'll be right back." She told her husband as she wal
Prologue "Keep running, Kyia! It's right behind us!" Remie yelled through their mind link. Kyia pushed her big brown paws faster. They still had another ten miles to run before they reached their pack's border. Remie and Kyia had been on their way back from their mini vacation, after visiting her original pack to see her family when they had caught the scent of a vampire. As the wind shifted, it's stench of death and decay grew stronger as it ran faster, drawing closer to them. The fur at the nape of her neck prickled as she felt cold, dead fingers brush the tips of each hair. She pushed her paws harder into the undergrowth of the forest, though it did little good in aiding her escape from it's grasp. The vampire locked it's claws around her tail and she howled in pain as it nearly ripped her tail off, jerking her to an abrupt stop. She was then thrown into the trunk of a large tree and collapsed under the pain of four broken ribs, one of
18 Years Later Runa ran her hands through her long red hair as the female who gave birth to her eighteen years ago continued to go on and on about how the moon goddess has turned her back towards her. Kyia was not only verbally abusive to her but physically as well, despite everything Runa has tried to do to make her happy. This woman has never been a motherly figure to her and still, she remained just as cruel as always. Runa could not understand why. "She would not waste her time upon creating a mate for you! You were unwanted, an abomination! You will never know the love of a mate. The moon goddess has not smiled upon you, little Runa." Kyia spat at her, the sting of her words hit Runa hard but she did not let it show, she has heard these words her whole life yet she still has no explanation as to why. "You just wait. I do have a mate and when I find him..." She let the words go and just gave up trying to convince the woman.
Runa's eyes were closed but she could smell something that was absolutely putrid. She wrinkled her nose against the assault before raising her hand to rub the sleep away from her eyes. She sat up and realized she was in her own bed at her mother's. Opening her eyes immediately, remembering pieces of what had happened the night before until she had blacked out. She looked down at her clothes and held back a scream that threatened to break the silence. She was covered in blood, from head to toe. From the smell she could tell it was human. Her hair was matted, her once white blouse now crimson. She threw the comforter off her body to run to the bathroom with the full length mirror. When her eyes feasted on her reflection she finally let out the blood curtailing scream that had welled up, no longer strangling her vocal cords. She had blood smeared across her face over the backs of her hands, and down her chest and legs. She had a little dirt under her nails too. What the hell h
