Blood Moon’s War 33-
Edward’s POV “I want Kass under strict guards. She is not to leave the packhouse. All her doctor’s appointments will happen here.” I declare strongly. Kass inhales deeply, “excuse us” Ike and Delaney make a quick exit. “Kass no, I mean it, this is not up for discussion,” I hold my hand up barely restraining my wolf. “I’m not a prisoner,” she looks at me hard. “You asked me not to run but to talk to you. You promised to do better, it’s been two hours Eddie, and I’m glad I haven’t unpacked.” “This is for your and the pups safety,” I hold up both hands in surrender. “I get that, I do, but let’s discuss it, like a team,” she sits in her chair, I can see and feel her anger. I just got her back and I’m going to lose her again. “There is a Luna I would like to call. She came to this realm before.” “Human?” I ask. “Werewolf raised in the human realm. Luna to a large pack. Alpha’s daughter thought her mate was a warrior, turned out he was an Alpha, they had struggles like ours.
Blood Moon’s War 34
Edward’s POV “The Marshall’s will be here in an hour,” Kass saids looking at her phone. “I get the tandem training for mates, but really what can they do for us?” “A lot if you will let them. Seriously, Eddie we need help. We can’t be all heat in bed and then at each other’s throats the rest of the time.” “And these two have been through this?” “When they met Garret was a warrior and Rita is an Alpha’s daughter, very high rank. Garret was totally intimidated by her status and power. She was like super woman. But they figured out how to work together. Now they split business responsibilities, pack responsibilities, she served as Gamma for a short time, I mean it, they are in a great place now. Balance of power.” I look at my mate, all pregnant and beautiful. Technically, once bonded we are equals. I mean that is the way it’s supposed to work. We are equals. But in reality I want to protect and shield her. I want her in a bubble no one can break. She is more important than my
Blood Moon’s War 35
Garret’s POV These two are too young to be going through so much. Edward is a strong leader but he had major trust issues. Not that I fully blame him. His Uncle turned on Edward’s parents causing their deaths. I’m not sure I could trust easily either. Not to mention Kass lying and ignoring Edward for sixteen months, then leaving him. The two of them don’t trust each other. Clearly they are hot for each other. I mean twins don’t just appear. But heat won’t win a battle. Nor will it heal a pack. Edward has done some major damage by sleeping with so many pack members. We need to train these Alphas better, keep it out of the pack. Pay for it, go to another pack, DIY, but not in the pack. I feel sorry for Kass. I also feel like Kass has a little growing up to do. Running away at the first sign of trouble? Thank the moon goddess Rita never gave up on me. The first time I met Rita I had my house set up for a sex-a-thon with someone else. Rita could have made me clean it up or even in
Blood Moon’s War 36
Edward’s POV “One more exercise before lunch,” Rita saids. “Delaney and Ike vs. Kass and Edward in human form. Blake and Carlisha vs me and Garret in wolf form. Mike you take on Kass Edward Delaney, Blake me and Carlisha Garret. Really try to hurt each other without hurting pups and don’t be distracted by your mates.” “You okay with this?” I ask Kass who nods. “She is going to kick your ass,” Kass smiles and kisses me quickly. “Ike you hit her, slam her, in anyway make me think my pups are in danger, I’ll snap Delaney’s neck.” I say expressionless. Only part of me was kidding. Ike cocked his head, “Back at you brother.” We nod at each other and stand shoulder to shoulder with our mates. “Delaney I like his face,” Kass said. “I like Ike’s dick.” “Oh yeah I like Eddie’s dick too.” “What about my face babe?” Mike asked getting nervous. “It’s cute, but I want to protect the goods more than the face,” Delaney bumps him with her hips. “All I am is a pretty face?” I pout t
Blood Moon’s War 37
Kassandra’s POV “I think we all have memories we want erased, but those memories are a part of us. They have made us who we are,” I say to group. “Believe me those 16 months I was hiding from Eddie, I’d love to forget.” “I’m sorry you hid from your mate?” Rita asked. “And Delaney and Edward were lovers for a year?” The four of us nod. “Asses in chairs not behind desks out here sit with your mates. This is not happening,” Rita saids going into full mommy mode. I’m the most definite wolf in the room and I even did what she said. “Garret, why did you dump Casey within 3 hrs of meeting me?” “Because goodness given mates are amazing,” Garret answers looking at his wife with a little fear. “Exactly. You pups have disrespected the goddess and this is your punishment. The memories created during your stupid selfish phases of lives are going no where. Had you four trusted the mate bond, none of this would be necessary. The four of you are cursed by your own stupidity.”
Blood Moon’s War 38
Edward’s POV “The papers today are bad,” Ike met me at my bedroom door. “Kristen and you ate at that restaurant what over a year ago. You wore the same suit, Pat.” “They used old pictures and wrote stories as if they were true,” Delaney snarled. “Another damn case.” “That they will say ‘we had a source’” I shake my head. “Loachra you need to see these.” Kass came out ready for training. I see her annoyance growing. “That’s it, I want Kristen here today. I’m killing her. I’m done. Once I present the lying bitches body to the world these will stop,” we all three stand stunned at Kass and her clear determination. “Down Luna,” Rita saids joining us. She sees the paper. “Oh second thought I’d like to lead the search party. You don’t own another suit?” “I own several I just happen to gravitate to that one. It was the first suit I had made as Alpha. It’s perfectly made and fits like a glove. I get laid every time I wear it.” “That has more to do with the title Alpha than the su
Blood Moon’s War 39
Edward’s POV Who could this powerful new Alpha be? “He’s going to be a Lycan you know? He is going to take revenge on everyone for denying him what was his to begin with. Edward for killing his secret son, James for hurting his daughter, you for being useless to him.” “Wolves become Lycans if they are fated to Lycans. Other than that they remain wolves.” Taylor knows, I know, Kass hearing this she is going to know. If ever there was a time I needed to get to Kass. I take off running. “James just detain him until Taylor and I arrive. Keep him away from my mother, you have to separate them,” she is already on the phone. “Ask him to kill the Lycan,” I order. “You can’t tell me, compel me, hell you can’t ask me,” Kass is standing her ground. “I am asking nicely I might add,” I snarl. “She is my mother,” Kass screams. “She is the enemy!” “No they are my parents you can’t ask me to kill both my parents. We will shoot my father full of wolfsbane so he can’t mindlink and we
Blood Moon’s War 40
Edward’s POV “Mike what is it?” Garret asks. “Luna, Beta do you know this man?” Gamma Mike points to the name Francisco Vasque. “Uncle Franz,” Taylor said casually. “Yeah he’s our unmated uncle he’s like 600 years old. Lives alone looks great not a day over 35.” “He raised our father after my grandparents death. He lived at Silver Creek until dad retired.” Kass said. “He is a very dangerous warlock. You say 600 years, more like 600 millennia. Your father may only be another puppet.” Gamma Mike looked terrified. “That’s crazy Uncle Franz loves us, calls me Kassandra Regina. He helped me with my defensive powers, the thick skin, powerful tail, masking my scent,” Kas explains. “Yeah remind me to thank him personally for the whole masking your scent training,” I say rubbing her back. I got a shy smile. Seeing Kassandra Byatt shyly smile and direct it at me, her mate, is amazing. “He taught me how to use my offensive skills, longer teeth, stealth, masking my scent.” Taylor s
