A man?... A beast?

Bad Moon Rising not all werewolves are evil and corrupt
The beast was roaring, and then it stopped suddenly while Caelum stared at the sword in his hand. He had never killed a man before, but even though they called this one a beast, he certainly still saw him as a man. Helsinger had said he was a werewolf, but it still felt unreal. He heard stories about werewolves from his mother and could remember growing up and beginning to taunt her about her beliefs and odd stories. They were all myths that never existed to him, but now he stood before a werewolf welding the sword he had been asked to kill him with. His conscience came to play instantly. In her stories, his mother told him that not all werewolves were evil and corrupt. Some of them never wished to be born into the curse but seeing it was their lineage; they had to learn to accept whatever comes with it. The hate and isolation alike. Certainly he could not get through with this as there was no way to tell if this was actually one of the good ones and if indirectly he was getting him
Bad Moon Rising the werewolves seized power, ruling the human race with an iron hand
Caelum was still surprised at what happened, but there were no whispers. He felt the strong admiration with which the others looked at him. He had proven himself and then turned to look in Helsinger's way. His gaze first fell on the lady. She still was not smiling at him but was not frowning this time or looking at him like he was a lost sheep in their midst. It gave him the satisfaction that she did not see him as a failure or unworthy person. Perhaps she might accept him yet in their ranks. Suddenly, there was clapping, and Helsinger called him to stand in front of him. Caelum went over to him and then presented his sword back, but the man smiled."No. She's yours now. She made your first kill." he said to Caelum."Oh, thank you so much, sir." the latter greeted, and as he bowed, he saw where the claws had hurt him from. He was not worried about it, nor did he feel any pain. Instead, he let it sink into him that it was something he had to get through if he was going to become a bra
Bad Moon Rising Sebastian was never going to trust her.
Mara still had not the words to answer him.Her thoughts had been accurate; Sebastian was never going to trust her. All this between them was merely a charade to him, as until he had confirmed it, she would always be another Esmeralda to him.However, she did not blame him for his reaction, as she too was beginning to doubt herself based on the things happening to her, something she had read about in his study while he was away, and the stories her mother told her.Perhaps, she might even be dangerous to him without actually knowing it, which meant his fears were also justified. She realized now that she had grown to love him and wished to believe that all his reactions towards are were signs that he also felt the very same way she did about her and that he wanted her as much as she wanted him.It was too late already, too late for her to turn back on what she now shared with him.It was not just about the intimacy but that he had successfully clouded her thoughts and vision. She worr
Bad Moon Rising bring you soon, or You would die
She knew well enough how she had made him that promise to be calm, but his following words caused her to sit up, instantly breaking the promise as soon as it had been made.It was not her intention to do so, but Tristan left her no choice with what he said next.Any woman in their right frame would have done just the same; it was way worse than what she thought she might have done that would cause such quietness.She had no idea that whatever it was about her had escalated to that point."I went to see a witch," he said"A what?" Mara had asked, sitting up"You promised," he said"Didn't promise to act human." she chipped in"Still the same," he said, reaching for her hand, which she moved away from his reach.If she found something about him disturbing, she could have just told him about her, but he did not trust her.How on earth would he take her to a witch to discuss whatever was about her?No, he had gone too far, which was unacceptable to her.Mara's thoughts flew to a default d
Bad Moon Rising the girl disappeared into the woods
Perhaps you would not understand her worries, but that was precisely what she needed to feel. To be told she would die all of a sudden was scary, and that explains a lot to her about why Grimshaw wanted her so badly.She had limited time to live, and he would need her to sort out whatever he had cooked up for the real werewolves that did not follow his way. She felt distraught and brooded all day as she needed to think.Sebastian had been right after all, and he had been after her welfare. He had done her excellent service, and they owed him and the witch a lot. She felt agitated that she had been angry at him when all he was doing was for her safety. She was not herself and needed her space when she went to the developing garden.It was beginning to take shape now, and its beauty was becoming more mesmerizing, but to explain the extents to which she was upset, Mara did not notice its lavishing beauty, nor did she pay attention to its splendor.She simply kept at the single task she w
Bad Moon Rising Mara seemed to be getting bolder and more dangerous by the minute,
He smiled now at her, saying she sent for him, and she nodded. Indeed she did send for him but had notexpected he would be there too soon, which works for her. He agreed, and then she sat down and patted beside her for him to sit. Sebastian could feel the rising tempo of her heartbeat.She was worried about something, and he knew it was all about what he had said. It was to be expected. The reaction from her as no one would get their day and time of death predicted in such a sudden manner that they would be smiling about it, except such a person was not average. It was, therefore, absolutely normal for her to behave as she was at the moment.However, Sebastian gave all he could to make sure she was okay. He asked her to proceed as he was all eyes, ears, and real senses together. She smiled at his words and then cleared her throat carefully as she watched him for a brief moment."When is the next full moon?" she had asked him all of the sudden"Not certain I have paid attention to th
Bad Moon Rising Grimshaw's rampage was beginning to get out of hand
The previous day had been great for them, and Mara was skeptical about leaving the little child she had found attracted to. Sebastian had asked her to go inside that night as intruders were in the forest. They had their fears wrapped around the fact that perhaps Grimshaw had found a way and infiltrated Blackwell.Mara was scared, and although she asked her to leave, Maria stayed with her alongside Luke, Daemon's brother, to protect her. Something seemed to be developing among the duo—something strong and which only few would understand.They were mated to each other, but while it seemed Luke's loyalty lies with Sebastian, Maria was with Mara. They stood guard over her, positioned ready for war.Old Sonya was with them as they waited for a long time, with Mara already promising herself that she would kill herself instantly should it turn out that Grimshaw was the one coming for her.She stood there while Sonya sat down beside her on the seat provided. It was a long wait that seemed to
Bad Moon Rising we do not know what monster I am
"Because I am the one breathing and telling you, Mara. Sebastian has never been this way since I knew him, but you made him like this. You made him understand and value the life of others." he said"But not enough to change fate." she chipped in sadly"Change fate? I'd say you defeated fate already. I mean, look around you. Look at Blackwell and how you changed it in a short while. Do you think all these people would be here if not for you? Sebastian is doing these things because you taught him. You have influenced him, and now he is just like you." he said.It was reassuring but not enough, all he said to her."Yet we do not know what monster I am," she said"You are the best monster ever. Everyone needs a monster like you once in their lifetime," he said.Those last words did their job smoothly as they brightened her spirit. If only the peopleinside would talk that way, then she would never have a reason to be sad. She noticed no more yelling now and wondered what had suddenly ch
