Blue Moon Pack
Everyone moved hurriedly to prepare for the guests that would arrive in a few hours. It had become a normal routine to prepare for several guests every week in the Blue moon pack.
Their Alpha, Alpha Rain Hilton was being pressed by the pack members to find a Luna as he was already 28 years old and had yet to find his mate.
Every week, guests (especially women) from different packs visited the Blue moon pack to see if Alpha Rain's mate was somewhere among them. He lost count of people that came with hopes to become his Luna but left disappointed.
Some beautiful women would even throw themselves at him for a one-night stand and he probed them happily. Those who clung to him later were the only reason why he wanted to find his mate as soon as possible and leave this shit.
It had become a normal thing and he wasn't bothered by the presence of so many women all targeting him either for fun or to mark them and make them his Luna, even without the bond of being fated mates.
Alpha Rain sat in his study on the first floor of the pack house. He chose to put his study on the first floor because he had to meet many people with different intentions and he didn't want to risk the security of his pack.
He believed, the lesser the people knew about his pack, the safer for everyone who stayed around him. There was a big number of people staying in the Pack house ranging from high-ranking pack members to lowly omegas. Even if there was a disparity between their ranks, he still looked at everyone the same way and everyone received equal treatment.
The dining area of the pack house was vast, to accommodate everyone in the pack house. There were a number of six dining tables and everyone chose a comfortable position to have their meals. Everyone had a right to voice out their opinions, especially during times when the pack had some difficulties.
The study...
Alpha Rain sat in a black leather seat with his neck resting on the top of the chair. He was tired, as he didn't get enough rest in the past few days while dealing with the sudden rogue attacks. It hadn't happened in many years that he didn't even consider of its possibility until they ended up having some casualties.
His Beta, Samuel was sitting on the couch across from him as they discussed security matters. They were about to host several guests and he didn't want what happened a few days ago to repeat itself. They discussed the spots where security needed to be tightened as he highlighted possible dangerous places on the map.
There is a river a few miles away from the pack house and that's where the rogue's found a flawless route to enter the Blue moon pack. He emphasized how he needed 24-hour tight security around there and even around the forest.
"Inform Alex and Nathan to appoint warriors on each border. This might happen again and I don't need casualties anymore." Alpha Rain ordered his Beta Samuel and gestured for him to leave the study.
He needed some time to be alone and focus on a pile of work on his table before stepping out to meet the guests.
Rain didn't take note of the time as he was fully immersed in his work. He had shut down his mind link in order to focus without anyone interrupting.
However, a knock on the door interrupted him and he cursed through gritted teeth before speaking.
"Come in," His voice was as cold as it had always been.
"We meet again, Alpha Rain." Spoke a blonde who was now standing in front of his desk.
Rain frowned as he tried to remember if they already met. His reputation for forgetting his last sexual partners wasn't good and he wondered if he ravaged this blonde as well, according to how she introduced herself. It's not a plus for him to forget faces. You could give a reason.
As if detecting Alpha's confusion, the blonde spoke to introduce herself.
"I'm Grace, we met in the Amber Moon Pack before. Even though I didn't get a chance to introduce myself back then during the Luna ceremony in the Amber Moon Pack, I'm glad to meet you here and as your guest." she introduced and Alpha Rain exhaled silently.
Thank heavens he didn't roll in the sheets with her or else she could be another headache to deal with.
"Please have a seat." Alpha Rain offered and continued to work on his computer.
He was now aware of the arrival of the guests from the Amber Moon Pack and he finally turned on his mind link.
'Sam, when did the guests arrive?' Rain inquired from his Beta through mind-link.
'About an hour ago. I thought of entertaining everyone as you finish your work but it seems like someone announced their presence to you already.' Beta Samuel's unpleased voice sounded in Rain's mind. Samuel didn't bother to mind-link Rain when the guests arrived earlier because he knew how busy his Alpha was and how interruption didn't settle well with him.
Samuel was a serious Beta in everything he did and he didn't like when someone interrupted his work. The same applied to Alpha Rain Hilton, he liked focusing on one thing at a time and that made him the alpha he is now.
When the guests arrived earlier, he offered them to rest as Alpha Rain gets done with his business but he was irritated with a blonde girl whose behavior didn't go to his liking.
She was over the place asking for Alpha Rain and the fact that she addressed him casually irritated him.
Even with his irritation, he still let her do what she wanted and he watched as she walked to the study. It was useless to explain to a person who doesn't understand anyway.
"Alpha Rain, do you need help with anything? You know that I am educated, and can help you out with anything." Grace aka the blonde girl initiated as she looked at Rain seductively.
The last time, he ignored her during the Luna ceremony in her pack no matter how much she tried to get closer to him. This time she was determined to make him look at her and take her. One taste and he could make her his. She was extremely confident about this.
The Blue moon pack felt different now. The air was lighter. The tree stood still, no longer whispering warnings. Rain returned before sunrise, his fur stain with blood, dirt and ashes but his spirit clean. Victory had never tasted so bitter-sweet until... he saw her.Ketra was waiting on the steps of the pack doctor's cabin, wrapped in a showl. Her eyes reflected something only Rain could name. Home.The moment their eyes met, he shifted. She smelled so good, he dropped to his knees before her and pressed his forehead on her belly with his arms circled around his chest. How he missed this feeling of being in his mate's proximity. He would turn the world around to maintain this peace and feel this way forever."I came back." He whispered as he inhaled her addictive scent. He had missed her and he was worried about her all this time. But knowing that the man whose intention was to use her for his spells had died with them, he felt at peace."I know," she murmured, her fingers threading t
Brice tore off the remnants of his robe leaving his chest bare. It was covered in dark runes that pulsed with unholy light. His body twisted, bones cracking as the dark magic coursed through him, warping his form into something no longer human nor wolf.Rain took a step forward, his eyes narrowing. "He's merging. Dark magic with his wolf. This is what Josh warned us about." he said through gritted teeth.Josh and Greg immediately backed toward Rain and formed a triangle with the rest of the warriors circling behind them.Then Brice let out a roar. It wasn't just a battle cry. It was pain and fury and something ancient. The runes of his skin erupted in black flames and his transformation finished. His body appeared larger and his muscles had overgrown. His eyes burning red. Shadowy tendrils twisted from his back like wings that never formed."You think I will fall today?" Brice hissed. "You should have killed me before I became god."Rain's claws extended fully, his body glowing faintl
The deeper they went, the darker it grew. Even thought the sun had risen above the horizon, the cursed forest blocked out nearly all the light. Trees bent unnaturally with branches twisted like clawed hands. The entire atmosphere was strange but expected nothing less than that.“We’re almost there.” Josh told Rain when he sensed he was looking at him from the sides.“This is where he draws his circles. Blood, bones, spells, He’s been using this place for year.”“Then we burn it.” Rain said coldly. This was the only thing that would make sense in this area according to him. He would burn Brice in this area too... his generations would hardly stand a chance too.Greg crouched beside a moss covered rock, his eyes scanning the forest floor. “Over there. Look, there a symbols and they seem recent.” He caught everyone’s attention by pointing to a freshly etched circle, stained with blood, the air above it crackling with raw and unstable energy. Rain stepped forward bravely. He extended his
The night air was quiet. Too quietBeta Samuel stood atop the Eastern watch tower of the Blue moon pack, his eyes scanning the forest edge. The moonlight kissed the tops of the trees, casting eerie silver shadows, and yet his wolf stirred restlessly.A breeze swept by carrying a familiar scent of burned fur and blood magic. "They're here." he said upon sensing them. They were expecting them after the talk they had with Greg, Josh and Haylee.These three were familiar with George and Brice. They knew when they attacked, how they attacked and how they moved in groups."Alert the warriors at all borders. None gets in." Beta Samuel commanded and the warriors obeyed immediately.With the information he had and the strategy he had made with Alpha Rain earlier, none of this group was supposed to enter the Blue moon pack. Magic or power.A second later, Haylee appeared at his side, already in a crouch, her sharp sensing confirming their presence. She looked tiny and young but she was a warrio
The night air was thick with silence. The stars above the blue moon pack shimmered faintly but the tension dulled in their land. Inside the infirmary, Rain sat beside Ketra's bed, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands tangled together.A few hours ago he had a talk with her and Kathy about Alpha George and Ketra just said it was okay. He was better dead that complicating their lives. She had then went back to sleep.She was now sleeping fully . The bruises on her skin had started to fade and the doctor had said she would be fine with rest. But Rain's wolf didn't rest. Not when Brice was still breathing.A light knock tapped against the door. Rain didn't look up. "Come in." He said flatly.Josh stepped in, still limping from the earlier blow Rain had landed on him. His side was bandaged and his arm hanged stiffly, but his eyes were stable. He looked at Ketra who was sleeping briefly and looked at Alpha Rain."She's... doing better?" He asked which Rain only gave a nod. Josh hesita
The tree whipped passed Rain in a blur of green and shadow as his paws pounded the earth. Her scent was getting heavier and he chased the closeness to get to the owner. He flew above dry logs in the forest, sprinting with purpose as he went forward.And there she was, bruised, weak and slumped against a boulder. Her clothes were torn. Her lips dry and cracked but she was alive.Beside her stood Josh and Greg. Rain didn't think. He roared so loudly causing birds to scatter from the trees. Rain's wolf launched through the air like lightening, his claws colliding with Greg, sending him crashing into a tree with a sickening thud.He didn't even wait to see if he was breathing as he immediately turned to launch to Josh, fangs bared.Josh stepped back at a lightening speed dodging Rain's attack. He raised his hands, "We didn't hurt her. We..."Too late. Rain struck. A brutal swipe to Josh's chest sent him flying the log just behind him and blood gashed out of him."Rain STOP!" Her voice hit
