Blood and Moon 61 Ideals
Adam I called a meeting in the evening. Kyle told me the visitors had settled in well. Desiree promised to be nicer at her next meeting. I had threatened to punish her the next time she allowed her emotions to get the best of her. Thinking of it now, I realised it wasn't a good threat because the kind of punishment I had in mind was pleasure-filled, and I could see Desiree being naughty for that purpose. I would just have to hope that she kept her promise regardless. My father's council were waiting in the room when we entered, everyone was present except Kyle, whom I wondered what he was doing. He later entered smelling of Sabrina. "Where have you been?" I asked him through the link, not wanting anyone to know. "I was watching the witches," he confessed. "there was no need for that. Don't make us wait again," I warned him, and he apologised. "Margret told me the witches' envoy are here," My father said, and I nodded. Desiree adjusted in her seat, and I pleaded with her through th
Blood and Moon 62 An Agreement
Desiree We waited for Adam's father to speak. He had a broad smile on his face, which was typical of Dean when he was thinking of evil. He looked at me and smiled. "Desiree," he said, "please power our weapons, one for day and one for the night," he said, and I frowned. "Why should she do that, father?" Adam asked, and she smiled. "We need to give them a demonstration of how our weapons should run," he said, and we were all confused. "I cannot believe how slow you people are," he said and looked at Alfred Green. "Tell them," he told his beta, and the guy smiled and nodded. "By showing them that our weapons are running fine without their help, they will feel like a charity case. They will know we do not need them and are only helping them out of the kindness of our hearts. They will know we already have magic and can do without them. Above all, they will try to impress us to be relevant, which means they will power our weapons the best way they can to be stronger than the ones
Blood and Moon 63 Status Quo
Adam The witches were given the homes the next day, and Sabrina had to travel back to Stadia to bring the two hundred and Seventy people that were coming with them. My instructions were clear, they were not to add anyone to the number, or the deal will be off. They were also not allowed to come to our packhouse for anything. We were not going to trouble them, and they had freedom within reason. The wolves were also warned not to mingle with the witches. We did not want them naturalising by mating with wolves. Even though Kyle was smitten with Sabrina, I had to put that measure in place before the witches got the bright idea of mating with wolves so they won't be asked to leave when their three years were up. Desiree went to power the weapons as planned. She powered some during the day and powered some during the night. They were separated but exactly alike. We did not want the witches to figure out her magic was limited to day and night and was controlled by the sun and moon. They di
Blood and Moon 64 Current Events
Desiree While the witches examined the weapons, my chest swelled up with pride. I wished the downsides were not true. I returned to my apartment and found Tim waiting for me there. He surprised me, and I was in shock, and then I frowned. "Why are you here?" I asked him, and he was worried. Whatever brought him to my room was serious. On the table were seven dusty books. I looked at them and frowned, and he looked at me. "I had to bring them here, Luna," he said with so much fear. "They are prophecy books and manuals, and we cannot let them fall into the wrong hands," he said with worry. Tim was a true friend so whatever he meant was for my good. "What is the matter, Tim?" I asked him and calmly sat on the chair. He brought the books to where I was sitting. "This book talks about Ashria's limitations," he said. " You won't be able to shift or wield magic during a blood moon," he said, and I thought of the irony because Adam had named our pack, blood moon, my only weakness. "What
Blood and Moon 65 A bid for Friendship
Desiree Adam returned to the apartment late in the night, and he was too tired to talk, so I let him be. Integrating the witches and trying to organise the new pack was taking a toll on both of us. I wanted to discuss Tim's findings with him, but I decided to let matters rest for the meantime. The morning wasn't far, and I intended to tell him then. He held me close, and soon I drifted off to sleep. I woke up, and Adam wasn't in the room. He must have snuck out early in the morning and did not want to wake me up, which was understandable. I was very tired, and he must have sensed it before we went to bed. I got ready for the day and looked for a private place to hide the books Tim brought me. People rarely read, so I doubted if anyone would be browsing through the books. The best way to hide them was in plain sight, along with the novels I had been reading on my shelf. If I put them somewhere special, someone would know that they contained something important to me. I knew why Tim d
Blood and Moon 66 The Strike
Desiree Lunch came exactly at the time it should, and Tim brought the tea in a flask. I waited for him to bring Sabrina before we ate. "Thank you for having me, Luna," she said smiling, and I smiled back at her. I took the flask and a teacup and served her the tea. Her smile dropped, realising what I was doing, and I smiled at her. "You do not expect me to drink this without knowing it is completely safe," I said and handed her the teacup, " Bottoms-up," I said, and she took the tea from me with a shaky hand and gulped it down in one goal. We waited for forty-five minutes, and nothing happened, so Tim offered to go next, but he was too valuable to lose, so I sent for one of the blood enforcers at my door to taste the tea. He claimed to feel incredible after thirty minutes, and I realised the tea was not wolfsbane or poisonous. The food was cold already, but I intended to warm it up with sun magic, so it meant nothing. I drank the tea, and so did Tim. I felt amazing after thirty mi
Blood and Moon 67 A Demarcation
Desiree Dean was lying on the floor covered in blood, and Adam was checking on him. "He is still alive," Ashria said, and I spoke up. "Take him to the clinic and have a moon doctor attend to him. He is still alive." I said, and Adam looked at me with murder in his eyes. He got up and walked past me and went straight for Margret. "He said he was sorry! Did you have to do this!" he yelled at her and began to shake her. Some medical practitioners came into the room, and they were all bloods. "Don't touch him!" I yelled at them, "I want Moon doctors now!" I said. "Attend to him!" Adam yelled, undermining my authority for the first time, and they went in. I saw some of them smile. "You can't trust them, Adam. Tim.." I said, and he cut me mid-sentence. "Silence!" He said and turned to Margret and continued to shake her. She just shook her head in total shock. "Adam, stop it! can't you see she is in shock?" I asked him, but he didn't listen to me. He slapped her a couple of times and
Blood and Moon 68 I am Sorry
Adam I sat in the clinic nervous. What had I done? I had said too many things I couldn't take back. The moon doctor was doing all he could to save my father's life. I watched as beads of sweat covered his forehead, Desiree must have told him all their lives depended on it. I did not mean it that way. I honestly didn't. I was just afraid that I would lose the only parent I had, and Margret did not have such a good record either. I only had issues with her, not the Moons, but Desiree had taken it personally, and now I did not know how I would take it all back. "He has some silver in his system." The doctor linked me not wanting to say it out. Desiree must have told him to do that too. I quickly linked Kyle to check every drinkable and edible in my father's room. I wanted them tested for silver. "Do you think he would get well?"I asked the doctor, and he paused to answer. "Once the silver is out, he will be able to heal himself. We have to give it time. Meantime. I will need to trans
