Livie"Livie! Breath...ok, look at me?" Molly says, bringing me out of my trance. She gestures for me to follow her moves, "Breath in....breath out. Again, breath in, breath out." she continues until my heartbeat slowly returns to normal. Margot can't help but look at me in concern. I hated to act this way in front of them. I was going to become Luna for goodness sake! How could I've allowed such a moment of weakness? "Come on, sweetie. I think we had enough shopping for today. Let's get you home so you can rest, shall we?" she says, masking her concern with a smile. I nodded, giving her an apologetic smile in return. "You want to tell me what happened back there?" Molly asked as we sat in the car and made out way home. "Did it maybe... Have to do with you seeing the luna from your ex-pack?" Margot adds, making my eyes widen in surprise. "I saw her getting in her car with another girl," she says, making me drop my eyesight to my hands. "I... I just," I stuttered, unwilling to look u
Third Person POVThe days for the two lovebirds went by peacefully for the most part. Livie was thriving with her studies, and practicing to fight. She was becoming one of the best. She was even gaining the required weight the pack doctor had asked her to since she had arrived at the pack so thin and malnourished. The pack loved being around her, they looked forward to being around her and making small talk with her. She was someone they admired, not just because she was like a celebrity to them, but because they saw her efforts. They saw each day how she tried so hard to accommodate every one of them, tending to her responsibilities and going far and beyond with her work. She was learning new thinfscesch day, and the smaller kids looked up to her with loving eyes. Especially Alarick. He was madly in love with her. He thanked the goddess every night for her, kicking himself forever thinking wrong of the moon goddess because she had taken so long in bringing Livie into his life. The
LivieI stirred in my sleep. I knew I was caught in a dream, but it didn't matter how hard I tried to wake up, I couldn't do it. I couldn't wake up.In my dream, I was stuck in a paradox. I replayed the day of the attack when my mom died and my brother was attacked. In a few scenarios, my brother died as well. In others, he vanished and I was left all alone. I sat crying in the middle of the overgrown field, alone. Slowly... I could hear the stirring of the grass as the stench of a rogue nears me. I can't describe it. Each pack member has its own scent, but you can somehow tell when it's a rogue. They smell different. More...animalistic, wild, and tainted. Just like a human would if he bathed, but didn't have the luxury to own adequate hygienic supplies.The last dream I had was the worst. Ricky and I lay on a picnic blanket with a tray of fruit and wine glasses next to us. We laughed, as I lay on my back and he lays beside me, caressing my hair. He leans down from time to kiss me on
Livie“I really like this one, what do you think, Ricky?” I say as I look at the invitations going out tomorrow morning for the Luna ceremony. It was short notice. Our luna ceremonies within packs are not as big as they would be when the boys turn to alphas. But yet, Ricky had decided to go all out for me. In the beginning, we were only inviting Molly’s pack, the Primords, and two other packs to which we were allied. The Crescent Moon and the Blood Moon pack, but now Ricky is thinking of inviting three other packs, which include my old pack, The Silver Moon pack. Did I want them to come? Not really.But Ricky thought it was a good idea since we might make them an allied pack. If- they can get their shit together. Believe me, I do feel bad for them. They gave such small numbers, but, hey- at least the place hasn't burnt down with Skylar in command. Ricky was busy at his desk, talking with Zane and going over some papers. He glances up and smiles. He gestures to Zane, and gets up, jo
LivieThe day of the ceremony was nearing us in just one day. I was so nervous just thinking about it, and to make matters worse, Ricky just told me that he invited my old pack. I guess I was ok with it, I mean they can't harm me anymore, right? Ricky wouldn't allow it, and besides, I'm strong enough now. I can fend for myself if needed to. But, I have been preparing their rooms for their arrival, and I need to do it quickly because I promised the girls that I would show them how to make the alfredo sauce from scratch. I wanted everyone to eat something a bit more healthy, besides all the meat that wolves consume, so I also added pasta alfredo to the menu, but with a vegan sauce made of cashews. It's mouth-watering, and it just so happens to be Leah and Skylar's favorite. Now, I'm not making it because of them, but because it was my mom's favorite also, and somehow it will make me feel happy if I make it. It'll feel as if they were still here with me, I guess... In some way.I made
LivieI was a nervous wreck as I came up those long spiral steps leading to the dining room. I stood behind the doors where I knew Ricky was waiting for me. So nervous, I almost tripped and fell on my face, had it not been for my guard, Tate who acted quickly and held his hand out so I wouldn't fall, I think I would have eaten it. "Are you ok, Luna?" he asks, concerned as he holds my arm. I couldn't help it. I started laughing, making him concerned."I'm fine, Tate. Let's do this, shall we?" I say with a smile, fixing my dress skirt and sighing deeply. "Let's do this, Luna. Ready?" he asks as he holds the doorknob, along with one other teen guard, and I nod, shaking my body a little to take some of the jitters away. The doors open, and the scenery gets the best of me, making me feel so happy and overwhelmed... I can see everyone from where I am. Everyone looks amazing, all dressed up with their best and looking sharp. But not as amazing as Ricky does. His icy blue eyes piercing, mak
Rogue King"She's going to do just fine. I can use her as leverage next time Alarick tries to meddle in." I say as I contemplate my next attack to bring down the Morrisons. "But, King, I thought you said we should never touch the women. What if she gets hurt? Alarick would never forgive you. Touching the Dark Moon's Luna will only bring their pack and their allies to war with us. We don't have enough people to fight them all sir." my right hand says, making me growl. "I know we don't have enough people to fight them off," I yelled out. "But we need to try a new tactic. Anything, to, make the Dark Moon Pack get off our backs." I add, frustratingly. Why the hell did this kid need to get involved? I don't get it. What could he possibly have to gain from helping them? They are nothing but traitors. Traitors to my family, traitors to our kind, and traitors to themselves. They are all better off dead."I will ensure she doesn't get hurt. We just need to make him believe it. This way, he w
LivieI walked to our room with my head hung in shame and hugged myself. I felt horrible for keeping something like this from him. I wanted to cry... So Many things went through my head. If I could do things differently I would, but how? "Livie, just be honest with him. Tell him how horrible they were to us. He should know, and I'm sure he will understand. You know Black and Ricky love us." Freya's voice says as I walk slowly behind him. The hall leading to our room seemed longer than usual, and so gloomy. For the first time, walking down this hall made me feel uneasy. He opens the door and goes inside without looking back. The lights are off and the entrance looks dark until I see the room. Mind I say, the room is so huge. It's like a whole floor all to ourselves. I close the door behind me and stand by the door for a second before I continue on. The room had a walkway of roses and candles leading to our bed. The bed was beautifully arranged with rose petals and surrounded by cand
