I folded the last warm sweater into my leather travel bag just as the heavy bedroom door swung open with a loud thud.

Kurt walked into the room, and the furious expression on his handsome face made my heart skip a fast, terrified beat.

His jaw was clenched very tight, and his broad shoulders carried a massive amount of tension as he locked the door behind him.

"What is wrong?" I asked quickly, dropping the bag onto the bed because I knew something terrible just happened downstairs.

    Kurt grabbed the key and placed a protective hand on the lower curve of my back to guide me back out into the freezing storm.We walked down the exterior hallway until we found the rusted metal door with the number four painted in faded black letters.Kurt unlocked the heavy door and pushed it open, stepping inside first so he could check the dark room for any hidden dangers.He flipped the light switch on the wall, and a dull yellow bulb flickered to life above our heads.I walked inside and locked the deadbolt behind us, dropping my heavy leather bag onto the stained carpet with a tired groan.The motel room was incredibly small, and the outdated floral wallpaper was peeling away from the corners near the ceiling.A small television rested on a scratched wooden dresser, and a heavy scent of mildew filled the humid air."You need to take a hot shower right now before you catch a cold from standing in the freezing rain," Kurt ordered, setting his own bag on a small wooden chair."I sm

  • CROWNED AS THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S CELESTIAL LUNA   30 - INSTITUE

    I held my breath inside the dark backseat, and my heart beat incredibly fast against my ribs while I listened to the heavy footsteps approaching our broken vehicle.Kurt quickly pushed my small body behind his broad shoulders so he could shield me from whatever threat was walking through the freezing rain."I-is it the Institute?" I whispered, gripping the thick fabric of his winter coat with shaking fingers."Stay down and do not make a single sound until I figure out who is standing outside the car," Kurt ordered in a low, dangerous growl.A bright beam of yellow light suddenly flashed through the rain-soaked glass, and the sudden illumination made me flinch backward in fear.Kurt bared his sharp teeth and reached his large hand toward the door handle, fully prepared to jump outside and fight any scientist who dared to approach his mate.A heavy knuckle knocked loudly on the wet window, and a gruff, normal human voice yelled over the deafening sound of the thunder."Hey buddy, your

  • CROWNED AS THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S CELESTIAL LUNA   29 - ENGINE

    The engine died with a pathetic sputtering sound, and the dashboard lights blinked out to leave us in absolute blackness.I turned the rusted key backward and twisted it forward again in a desperate attempt to restart the dead vehicle.The ignition clicked a few times without catching, and the sickening smell of burnt oil flooded through the air vents.I twisted the key a third time, praying the engine would catch, but the dead battery only offered a sad click.My patience finally snapped, and the feral instincts of my inner wolf demanded a target to destroy."Fuck!" I roared at the top of my lungs, and I slammed my heavy fists down onto the top of the steering wheel.The cheap plastic cracked under the violent force of my angry blow, but the broken material did not make me feel any better.I hated feeling helpless, and I despised being trapped inside this tiny metal box while a massive storm raged outside the thin windows.I was a Warlord used to commanding powerful armies across vas

  • CROWNED AS THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S CELESTIAL LUNA   28 - RAGING

    Eight hours felt very long when my magic was threatening to boil my blood at any moment.I leaned my head against the cold glass of the window, and I watched the empty highway stretch out in front of us.The road trip was very quiet for the first hour, and the rhythmic humming of the tires helped soothe my anxious nerves.We passed a few small human towns, but most of the gas stations and diners were closed for the night."Tell me more about Elias, because I need to know why you hate him so much," I requested, needing a distraction from my own dark thoughts.Kurt let out a deep, bitter sigh, and his jaw tensed up again at the mention of his old enemy."Elias is a ruthless vampire who took over Obsidian Peak decades ago, and he runs the city with an iron fist," Kurt explained."Why do you two have such a bad history?" I pushed, wanting to understand the danger we were driving into."We fought a brutal border war over a strip of hunting land many years ago, and I killed several of his t

    I folded the last warm sweater into my leather travel bag just as the heavy bedroom door swung open with a loud thud.Kurt walked into the room, and the furious expression on his handsome face made my heart skip a fast, terrified beat.His jaw was clenched very tight, and his broad shoulders carried a massive amount of tension as he locked the door behind him."What is wrong?" I asked quickly, dropping the bag onto the bed because I knew something terrible just happened downstairs."Derek escaped from the dungeon," Kurt growled, running a frustrated hand through his dark hair."How is that even possible when you have armed guards patrolling the halls?" I stuttered, feeling a cold wave of fear hit my chest."He squeezed through a rusted drainage pipe in the back of his cell while the guards were distracted by the missing border patrol," Kurt explained with a bitter tone.I felt sick to my stomach because I knew exactly how spiteful my foster brother could be when he felt angry."Derek

  • CROWNED AS THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S CELESTIAL LUNA   CHAPTER 26 - LOCKDOWN

    I stared down at the scorched black grass in Jason's trembling hand, and the harsh smell of synthetic chemicals instantly burned the inside of my nose.The burnt ash crumbled easily between my fingers, and the strange residue confirmed my worst fears about the human scientists and their dangerous weapons.The Institute was no longer just tracking residual magic from a safe distance, because they were actively stealing my men right off the border."How long ago did the patrol team miss their radio check-in?" I demanded while I grabbed the burnt grass to inspect the ash closer."They missed the scheduled call about ten minutes ago, so I took a squad down to the southern ridge and found this mess instead of our men," Jason explained with a heavy swallow."Did anyone hear a struggle or see a transport van driving away from the perimeter?" I asked, praying they had some sort of trail to follow."We found tire tracks in the mud about two miles away, but they disappeared onto the paved highw

    KURT’S POVWatching the absolute terror appear on my older brother's face, I took another deep drag from my cigarette and let the gray smoke fill my lungs.

I asked, looking up into his incredibly handsome face while I felt my heart beating rapidly inside my chest.Kurt looked down at me, and his dark eyes softened significantly.
