Blood and Moon: Book Two - Onyx Chapter 23
Two weeks had passed since I had left the wolf in his hospital bed, and I had not heard from him since. Time seemed to be moving so slowly. It appeared he had finally let me go and the bond had been broken. Alpha Ezekiel was right. It was for the best.That night, I ran for hours until I broke down and finally called for a pickup. The run had allowed me to tunnel my rage, expel all of my pent-up feelings, and get some thinking done to formulate an excuse for my behavior. I had acted so recklessly. But none of that mattered now. It was over with, and I was eager to be back on top of things. No more distractions.Finally relenting and now that there was nothing holding me back, I made the decision to accept Elijah’s offer, though I did not really have much choice, honestly. Now things were different. Where before I had planned to not go down without a fight, now I accepted it willingly. Our union would benefit us both and bring together our clans, add to our resources, and strengthen our

Against my better judgement, I decided to acquiesce to Elijah’s request that I travel back to his coven with him. There were a couple of reasons I initially did not believe that to be a good idea. For one, I would be there relatively alone except for him and his father. Also, it would be unfamiliar territory to me, and I preferred to be comfortable with my hunting grounds. If Elijah thought I would not be on the prowl while I was on this little vacation of sorts, he was highly mistaken. I wondered what the Florida wolves would be like. Hopefully more challenging than what we had to offer. Maybe I would even persuade him to join me on a hunt. That would be interesting.But there was another reason, one far bigger than the others, and that reason was where his coven’s territory was located. Although I had been aware the entire time, it had not been an issue since I never planned to travel there before. Elijah’s coven’s territory was dangerously close to the Black Mist pack, th

The plane ride on the private jet was smooth enough as to be expected, but I loathed flying. There was just something that felt unnatural about a vampire being the air. I was a creature of the night, meant to be on the ground and in control.Even so, we toasted to new beginnings with champagne and blood. Usually, I would have declined the blood as I only take what I need, but Elijah insisted I replenish my strength and I had been depriving myself lately, a form of punishment for my weaknesses. But no more of that. It was time to move on. Even I was imperfect, as shocking as it seemed, and I deserved some grace. I made a one-time mistake that was over with, done and in the past. To beginnings indeed.It was a few hours past dusk when we arrived. The air felt different here. It was warm and humid and salty. I stared at the large structure in front of me. So different than the place I called home. The Ventrel compound was more of an ancient castle. Not much had changed over the

There was something about a nice hot, steamy shower that just made me feel better. It was the one instance in which I preferred heat. The soft water droplets brought me calm and clarity and I felt like me again. It was as if I had washed away all my issues, even if it was only a temporary feeling. My eyes trailed over my body critiquing myself through the mirror staring at the long, black shimmery gown that hugged my curves tightly. Turning sideways, I mulled over the fact that I did not enjoy dressing in such attire, as I did not care for the lustful looks received from men and envious eyes from women, but for the time being it was necessary to appease others, and admittedly, I did look stunning. Straying from my usual long, sleek and straight hairstyle, I pinned my locks into an elegant bun, pulling some pieces down to frame my face. When I exited the shower, there had been a jewelry box on my nightstand which contained a bracelet with both black and white diamonds and a very

We sat closely in the back of our transport vehicle and even though I made it a point not to look at him, he could not keep his eyes off me. I loved watching him struggle and fight against temptation after what he had done back at the mansion. He tried to seduce me, and I almost fell for it allowing him to kiss me. After all the times he had attempted to before, he decided to use that moment to play a game. He toyed with me. Me? Oh, I would fully enjoy making him regret that decision. My skin was on full view tonight, exactly the look I was going for. I wore a black two-piece skirt set. The top was cropped with spaghetti straps and the bottom skirt was long but had two high slits showing off my long legs. I let my hair down and kept the same jewelry one, making it a point for the bracelet to be seen. Even though I was still reeling from what he had done, I could not help but to appreciate how good he looked as well. He had changed out of his suit and into somewhat more casu

Atlas' POVWhen I came back to bed after a piss, she was still there and I was fucking annoyed. I should never have let her fall asleep, but I was pretty sure she faked it in the beginning probably knowing I was planning to put her out after. Fuck and leave. That’s all I wanted. No sense in beating around the bush.I stared down at the woman I used to find attractive. Yeah, maybe she was still attractive, but I wasn’t attracted to her anymore. No matter how many women I brought to my bed, in the last few weeks no one seemed to do it for me anymore. Someone had ruined that for me. I tried to fuck her out of mind. Hell, I had tried everything to get her out my mind. Nothing seemed to work.I sighed as I climbed back onto the side of the bed into the small empty portion of the bed. I had a mind to wake her up and put her out especially when she tried to put her arm around me in a cuddle and I tossed it off quickly. I didn’t want to be touched, not by her. To be honest, I did feel bad. Sn

Atlas’ POV“And who is this?” Elijah asked motioning to Sno. His words were kind, not intrusive. He seemed only to be genuinely curious. Perfect time for introductions. “This is Sno Errendale, my future luna.” I smiled at Elijah innocently, turning to Onyx to gage her expression. Her frown deepened as she stared daggers at Sno then her eyes darted to me. I wasn’t surprised. Women were always jealous. But what was she so worked up about? She was the one who rejected me, right? Or at least that’s what she fucking thought anyway. That’s what she meant to do. I smirked, tilting my head up looking down to her tauntingly in her seated position across the table, but inside I wanted to reach out and touch her soft skin if only for a second. The bond was just as strong as ever and I needed to be near her. I was confused. Did I hate her or not?“It is nice to meet you. This is Onyx Ventrel, my betrothed and future queen.”Well, fuck. That hurt. I mean, yeah, I figured as much,

Livid. I was completely livid. I had been bombarded, and the thought of once again being caught off guard, being unprepared had me enraged. How could I have allowed this to happen? I had lowered my guard and gave into my physical desires in a moment of weakness by allowing Elijah to kiss me. In that short amount of time of being distracted for a fleeting moment, the wolf had been able to creep up to me. If he had been an enemy, things could have gone very different.The irritation and anger in his tone made it obvious he had witnessed it all. A shred of guilt had formed in my stomach, angering me even more. I despised the fact I felt remorse for simply living my life, for letting myself go. Feelings I thought I had been rid of, were slowing coming back like a long-forgotten memory. My mind was all over the place as another thought popped into my head that I would be bringing to Elijah’s attention as soon as we were alone. He had asked for me to keep an open mind, to allow him some gra
