Jeremy and I were both escorted back to the guest apartment after I had puked my guts out upon finding out the truth about these hybrids. I could hear the rest of my team talking about what had gone down in the Quiche with Jeremy as they sat around the dining table out in the living room while I was back in my room trying to gather myself.Everything happened so fast, too fast. One moment a guy tells me I share blood with the moon goddess herself and then they tell me they literally let thousands of innocent wolves die just so they could save their own asses and get some sort of 'revenge' on werewolves."It sickens me" I said through my link with Isis who growled even at the mention of the heinous crime these hybrids have committed."We need to go back to the Wolven council" Isis said or screamed to be honest. But I could tell she wasn't being rational right now because any rational person would be able to see what would happen if we went to the Wolven council."We can't. If we tell t
I sat on the couch in the living room of the guest apartment. It was currently 4 in the morning and I was on watch. We had decided to retire for the night and keep the watch schedule the same. A few hours ago, Brian had come to wake me up so I could take over.A lot of things were going through my mind. I wasn't sure of anything anymore and I yearned to be back home with Callan and my parents.It was a lot of pressure, having to find the person behind such a big conspiracy, figuring out why those rogues had died long before they attacked the packs, how to get out of Blue Eclispe, why did Paenoe say I have the blood of the moon goddess running through my veins? And keeping all these kids alive...They were my responsibility; they came on this mission because they trusted me and have faith in my ability to keep them safe. But I can barely keep myself safe right now...I checked my phone for the hundredth time. I had gone around this entire apartment but could not find a single bar. If o
"Luna Anaïs" I turned around at the sound of my name and found Paenoe standing behind me. My mood plummeted and my stomach churned as the events of the Quiche came rushing back to me. But I held it all in and composed myself as I could feel the eyes of the other hybrids on me."Paenoe" I said in a plain tone. I saw Paenoe sigh and shake his head a little."I see you have chosen not to show me respect" he said but I interrupted him."Do not patronize me Paenoe. I'm not the one who chose not to show you respect, you and your people lost the privilege of being treated with respect the second you let all those werewolves die" I said through gritted teeth. I know I said I'd maintain my composure but try and put yourself in my shoes and you'll know how I was feeling."I understand that you're angry Luna Anaïs" he started again but I interrupted him once more as I was unable to listen to the bull coming out of his wretched mouth."Oh please Paenoe, you could never understand how I feel. You
"Luna Anaïs" I stopped and turned around when I heard Alpha Paenoe call after me. We had hardly made it down the stairs of the Communal hall. I was expecting him to take days before making up his mind...I turned around and looked at him as he climbed down the stairs and came to stand in front of me. His shoulders were tense and even though his face showed no emotions, his eyes made an uncomfortable feeling wash over me."I will not put my pack at risk. The few moonchildren who find their mates among us mate and further our line. We do not wish for anything more" Alpha Paenoe said.His words made me sigh but I wasn't going to push him. He's the leader, he chooses what's right for his people. I understood that because I am one too."And by saying that I won't put my pack in danger for anything, I mean you as well" Alpha Paenoe said and immediately in the blink of an eyes more than 10 hybrids surrounded us.I, along with Brian, Adeline and Jeremy took a defensive stance as well. I frant
"Luna?" I heard a very faint voice call out to me. I rolled over on my left side but cursed under my breath when my very sore right arm ached as I shifted my weight from it.I slowly opened my eyes and remembered where I was as my eyes fell upon the familiar stone walls and iron cell gates where I was locked up yesterday."Luna?!" Brian screamed again. I groaned as I got up and rubbed all the aching muscles in my body."I'm up! I'm up!" I said but my voice was so coarse from not having had a single drop of water since breakfast yesterday that the words came out as a mere whisper."Luna do you hear that noise? Coming from outside?" Brian asked and that's when I picked up the faint noise of what seemed to be drums...those huge ones with real animal hides on them."They must be preparing for...." I heard Sierra say faintly and realised that the Blue Eclipse pack must be doing some kind of ritual in preparation for our murder which was scheduled for tonight."It's fine, don't let it get t
I paced the length of my tiny cell as the reality of what I had just done settled in. My hands started shaking and my breathing skyrocketed."Is he really going to mark me?! Isis it was supposed to be a fucking joke! Oh my goddess... " I mindlinked Isis as I kept on replaying what had happened with Paenoe a few hours ago."Why would you even say something like that ?! !! " Isis somewhat growled back at me like, making me panic even more. I pulled my hair and cursed under my breath again."I was angry! And irritated and scared! I just wanted to bring Paenoe down a notch.. I didn't know! I didn't know! I knew it wasn't a good idea but then- the words just left my mouth." I said and whimpered slightly. I didn't wanna say it...I knew it was wrong. But then why did I?'Please goddess don't let this happen. Please I'd rather die as Callan's mate than have Paenoe mark me. Please goddess!' I desperately prayed in my head.I was snapped out of my panicked state when, once again, those wretched
"Move it along now!" The buff, big guard screamed after us. They had all tied Brian, Adeline, Sierra and Jeremy together with a rope, like a train and were constantly pushing them to get them to move faster but it was clear that Adeline and Brian were terrified and were frozen."I SAID MOVE IT!" The man screamed again and I have had enough. I used my werewolf strength to break the flimsy ropes which bound my hands behind my back and marched to the guy."Get back to your place wolf! Now!" He said as he came at me to probably tie my hands together again but I was angry and I channeled that anger and put my left hand on his right shoulder, bent in front of him and flipped him over my back.He groaned as he landed on the ground and the other guards started coming at me but I growled as loud as I could."One more disrespect and one of you will die" I said as I looked at them with nothing on my face, not even anger or a glare. I made sure to keep my face void of any expression and I guess t
"CALLAN!" I couldn't help but scream out to my mate. I started thrashing around in Paenoe's arms but he didn't let me go.Paenoe screamed something in his language and I watched as hundreds of hybrids formed a circle around the us, facing Callan and his wolves ready to fight."Paenoe! You need to fucking stop! You've lost! If my mate did everything I told him to do then the council and the rest of the world knows about you! If you kill us here, you'll be monsters in the eyes of all werewolves!" I screamed at Paenoe who looked at me with his face contortedHe was breathing heavily now and his grip on my waist kept on getting tighter and tighter. He looked around at the werewolves that surrounded him and his people and then looked down at me for the last time before letting me go.It took me a moment to register that I was not being held captive anymore but as soon as I was over it, I ran straight towards my mate.I pushed through the line of defense the hybrids had made and jumped stra
