Lunaya.“There is the Goddess”.I was frozen in place. Not sure if this is just more of her crazy talk, or if she is actually saying what I think she is. I couldn’t be pregnant already. Micha and I have only been sleeping together for less than a week. Can it happen that quickly? Also, I haven’t even had my first heat. I thought I had to be in heat to get pregnant.“Elder Maxine, are you saying that I'm pregnant?” I asked her, watching her face closely.“Yes, Dear” she said with a wide smile,“And it’s a girl? She’s going to be the next Triple Goddess?” I asked, my voice raising an octave or two. My excitement exploded inside me like a burst of joy and happiness. I was never meant to be the next daughter, I was simply meant to birth her, raise her, and train her.“She could be” Maxine said, her smile faltered, and fear filled her eyes. She quickly masked it over, but I still saw it there. She could be. What is that supposed to mean? Either she is or she isn’t. Oh, my Goddess, I have t
Lunaya.“Spawned by the one who gave us breath. Vanished from life but spared from death. The Ethereal one gives she who is promised. To wield the power of the Triple Goddess. Where the moon is three, two will come. Once the seal is made, destiny is done. With one comes death, pain, and destruction. The other comes life, love, and devotion. Peril will end and the wolf will thrive. But for peace to reign, only one can survive”.I stared into the healer's wide eyes and watched as they slowly rolled back and refocused. It can’t be possible. It shouldn’t be possible. I heard that same riddle one time before, nearly twenty years ago. I did everything that I could do to stop it from coming to fruition. And I thought that I had succeeded. That prophecy should have died with me and my family seventeen years ago. How and why is he reciting it again now? It shouldn’t be possible.Twenty years ago.“Child, it was never your destiny to wield the power” the older woman spoke softly as she sat acro
Zelena.“You’re too confident” Galterio grunted within my grasp.“I think I have a reason to be, don’t you?” I squeezed again and Galterio growled.“You’re sure you want to play this game with me, Beauty?”“There’s no game. Can’t you see that? I'm in control now, and I’ll let you go once you tell me what I want to know. If you don’t then I will just keep squeezing” I growled out the last few words as I tightened my hold on him once again. Galterio threw his head back and hissed, but he didn’t scream.“Did you or one of your packmates poison me?” I demanded,“No” he groaned,“Then what has made me so sick?” Galterio didn’t answer, he just smirked at me with a knowing look. I squeezed my power, tightening the hold on him more. I heard the snapping of a bone and a grunt from Galterio.“You’re lying” I growled,“Let me go Zelena”.“Tell me what you did to me!” I yelled. The tables by the bed began to rise off the floor and the cupboard doors rattled. The chair in the corner creaked and gr
Zelena.My heart clenched and pain rang through my body at Galterio's words. Could Gunner have hurt me on purpose? He promised that he never would, and until now, he lived up to that promise. I don’t believe that was really Gunner, I can’t believe it. He wasn’t in his right mind, he didn’t know what he was doing. I can’t believe it. If I lose him, I will have nothing left.A tear rolled down my cheek and I very quickly wiped it away. Galterio already saw it though, he let his arms fall at his side and looked down at me with pity in his gaze.“I’m sorry, that wasn’t fair to say” he said softly and moved closer. He was about to sit down next to me on the bed when I jumped up. I don’t want his pity, I don’t want anything from him. I heard him out, I listened to his rant about the horrible humans. I even considered helping in his cause. Freedom from the hunters is something I can be passionate about. But now I'm done.“Don’t bother” I snapped at him,“I’d like to leave now, I'm not stayin
Zelena.Is that... Artemis? No. I stepped forward and was about to call out to him when Galterio growled lowly. Using his speed, he hit the back of my knees with one arm and my upper body with the other. It was so damn fast that I didn’t get the chance to prepare for it. He had me in his arms bridal style, and in a flash, we zoomed back into the house and back to the same bedroom that I woke up in. He placed me on the edge of the bed and went to step back. The exceptionally fast movement made my stomach turn. Galterio must have picked up on my nausea because he dashed away and was back in a blink with a bucket held under my chin. Once again, I emptied whatever was left of the contents of my stomach into the bucket. All my thoughts of pain from the claw marks to my chest were erased by the endless stream of dry reaching. I hate vomiting.I have seen far more gruesome things than a broken neck. I have inflicted far worse things on others and had less lethal but still just as brutal thin
Zelena.Zoe. The whore that took Gunner’s virginity. His only other lover. Why the heck is she still around? After being banished, she was meant to leave. She should be far away from Tri-Moon by now, Gunner can and will kill her if he catches her near his land. Wait, Zoe is a Were, I've seen her change before, she did it right in front of me. Why then did she struggle so much this time around? Also, what the fuck is she doing with Galterio’s pack?!Galterio was talking quietly to Zoe, quiet enough that I couldn’t pick up what they were saying. I strained my hearing to try and make out the words, but I could only hear parts of it. The words ‘failed me’ and ‘useless’ and ‘no longer needed’ stood out above the rest. I remember Zoe being kind of pretty, big boobs, nice hair, and a face full of makeup. But this Zoe was wretched. Skin and bones with a feral look in her eye. I watched her closely as she talked with Galterio. Her mouth twitched a lot, especially when she spoke. Her eyes darte
