Desiree Adam carried me to my apartment that night, intending to devour me. The fear of losing each other propelled us to ravage each other. The truth was if Ashria wasn't with us, we probably would have been conquered tonight, or I might have been killed, because the king chose to use us as a decoy. The painful part was that we just got together. He kissed me fiercely, taking in my scent at every opportunity, and I moaned. I couldn't think straight anymore. Pushing me against the wall, he dipped his hand in my shorts and touched my clit. I was wet and slippery. I spread my legs to give him access and moaned. He pulled my shorts down, and I used my legs to take them off completely. He kissed me and nibbled my ears. That was when he said it. "I love you, Desiree. I am in love with you," he said. I couldn't respond, and he didn't let me. He went down, with my back against the wall, spread my legs apart, and kissed my lips, searching for my clit with his tongue. I cried and moaned. My k
Desiree I did not see Janet until the evening, and she did not just carry her scent, she smelled differently, and I wondered what she had been up to. When Tim left, I couldn't help but ask her. "Out with it," I said, sitting comfortably on the loveseat in my living room. She looked a bit surprised at my words, and I arched an eyebrow to let her know that she couldn't dodge my words. "Out with it, Janet," I ordered her, and she sighed. We practically grew up together, she couldn't hide anything from me, and she knew it. "Well," She began, looking nervous and unsure whether or not she should tell me, but I was too curious to let her off the hook. She leaned forward and touched my lap, " Please, you have to promise you will keep this between us no matter what," she pleaded nervously, and I got uncomfortable. Suddenly I was not interested in what she had to say. I already had a lot on my plate, I hoped for both our sakes it wasn't heavy. "I am seeing someone," she finally confessed,
Desiree. "Welcome, Desiree Dawson," a woman whom I could not see her face said, and I swallowed hard. "Don't be frightened, Desiree," the woman said, taking off her hoodie, and it was Janet's mother. Other members began to take off their hoodies, and I was shocked at what I saw. Every Moon I knew was there. Aunt Margret, my mother's neighbours that owned the food truck, Tim my friend, some workers at the packhouse, and some enforcers. I was in shock. Someone brought me a white hooded robe, but I refused to collect it. "What is the meaning of this?" I asked as politely as I could manage because I felt hoodwinked at that moment, but I did not want to come off as offensive to anyone. "The Uprising," Janet's mother, Kendra Lawson, said, and I swallowed. She pushed up her chest with pride and looked around her, then cleared her throat to speak. "The Bloods have plagued our lands and oppressed our people for eight years now. It is time to say enough is enough and take back what is right
Desiree Walking back home, I knew my life would never be the same again. There was no way the moons were going to listen to me, and they would feel I abandoned them in their time of need. I wished they would listen, because the vision that saw was gruesome, and I prayed that it wouldn't come to pass. I got to the packhouse two hours later, about three in the morning. I entered my apartment and found Adam curled on the bed. I was amazed that he would be there since I wasn't around. I thought he would sleep in his apartment instead. I took off my clothes and curled into the bed next to him. He came close and wrapped his hands around me. "You couldn't stay away from me too long," he whispered in my ears with his husky sleep voice, and I smiled. How the hell could they expect me to give him up? I hugged his hands to my chest and relaxed into his embrace. All my troubles were far away, and sleep came quickly. I woke up the next day in Adams's arms. He was still sleeping, so I gently got
Desiree Tim's words kept me up all night. I couldn't tell Adam because it could get all of them killed, nor could I be still and wait. Ashria had instructed me to wait until night so she could get a vision from the moon to see how the event could play out. I was beginning to understand a lot about my powers. It worked only with the moon, even though Ashria told me we will eventually draw strength from the sun, but for now, it was affected by the moon only, and that was why Ashria said she could not wage war. It wasn't because she did not sympathise with them. Apart from it not being a part of our mandate, she simply did not have the strength yet. It was something we would have to build gradually. Adam knew I was restless, but I played it off. He slept early because he was exhausted from the rigorous training he went through the entire day. I got off the bed and went to the window to stare at the night. I could see a glimpse of the moon, but it wasn't as visible as it should have been
Adam My father called me to his chamber after practice, and I reluctantly went to see him. As always, Beta Green was there when I arrived, and I started seeing him as a permanent fixture in my father's chambers. To my surprise, another person was there, someone I never expected. I saw Margret getting dressed with her hair tousled, and I did not need to guess what she was doing in my father's chamber. I guess I wasn't the only one that had the hots for moons. I looked at my father, surprised because I had never seen him with any woman before. After my mother died, he shut down completely. As much as he claims to hate moons, he must have some feelings for Margret to sleep with her. Too bad she didn't feel the same way. She averted my gaze, and I didn't say a word to her. She had taken herself off Desiree's service list. I did not know why and Desiree was yet to tell me, but I hoped it had nothing to do with my father. My father spanked her butt on the way out, and his eyes were filled w
Desiree I couldn't believe what had just happened. Adam shook me to respond, but I couldn't respond out of fear. The wolf Adam killed was Fred, Janet's older brother. I was in shock because I didn't expect them to go through with their stupid plan. I grew up with them. It was heartbreaking that they had wasted their lives the way they did. Adam shook me, and I noticed the tears in his eyes. I felt his fear and knew what he was thinking, but how could I tell him what I knew without implicating everyone? "Please, Desiree, tell me what you know about this," he pleaded, "I will protect you," he said, and I shook my head. "I am not a part of this," I said, shaking my head, and I knew I had to calm down to tell him what happened. "After the Moon Embracing Party, they asked me to join the uprising, and I refused. That was why aunt Margret removed herself from my service list. Janet refused to serve me, but I had her taken off the service list when Tim said he overheard they were planning
Desiree I told Adam everything that transpired at the Moon embracing ceremony after the party, but I did not tell him about my wolf being divine. I knew Kendra would use it, and Ashria knew how. So it was best we withheld the information to make the revelation more dramatic, but I told him I had a brown wolf just in case. Ashria assured me the information would be relevant. Adam left my apartment to interrogate the prisoners and investigate the event. I sat alone in my apartment, and I didn't wish Kendra and her cohorts well. It was a very low move to try to implicate me. I warned them, and they didn't listen. I sat on my loveseat, knowing exactly how the investigation would play out. Stupid wolves. Adam I reached the cells and found my father there. This was very personal to him because they had almost succeeded. Beta Green was also there, and I noticed he was a bit surprised. "Your majesty," he said, "where is the Dawson bitch. Their leader said she put them up to this," he asked
