The anticipation had been flooding my veins all day but as the moon began to rise my body became one with it. Its light brewed within me ready to release. The instant it did, the pain relented within an instant and my hands became paws hit the earth, my new instincts surged and I just ran, knowing he would be a heart's breath behind me. I scented everything in existence. The swamp, the creatures within it, the primordial scent of the soil washed within its depth eons ago. I took it all in as

    BriSadie was taking everything very well. I eyed her. I had said it was time for my pack to stop letting themselves be pushed around, and I meant it.“Ya know, I made that pathetic excuse of a man piss himself twice?”“Who?”“Your sperm donor.”The girl's eyes widened. I shrugged.“His time on this earth is limited. When you are ready to tell me, I want to know everything he did to you. I was fortunate not to know all the details of my abuse; my magic and my mind protected me. A little girl gave me her memories to get through the worst moments of my life.” I said before standing and walked to the balcony where Zoe had placed the potted magnolia. I opened the doors wide, letting the breeze in, and lifted the potted plant up. If I wanted the girl to open up to me, I might as well do the same. I came back to set the plant in its decorative vase on the table.“The truth is, Sadie, I admire you; you're very brave for one so young. My own mother abandoned me in the trash after I was born.

    SadieI was shocked by what I saw my new Luna do, how she had conjured the moon. She wasn’t just a wolf, but a powerful witch who had the capability to summon that lunar energy. My knees quaked, urging me to bow, but I couldn’t take my eyes off her as the flicker of her beast within made itself known—not just a wolf then; the reds true Luna—the presence I caught out of the corner of my eye, before she turned to a point on the wall. Her fingertips grazed along the seam of the wallpaper. A stark click, followed by the groan of mechanisms, as the wall gave way and opened, resulting in a rising plume of dust. Brianna sneezed, and cursed. Guiding her ball of moonlight into the doorway. “Holy shit!” Trent exclaimed, striding inside. My Luna and Andrew followed him. When Zoey and I made it to the doorway, we were met with walls of books. From the scent of them, they were very old. Brianna pulled a large tome from a shelf; she sniffed it, making a face, like she wanted to drop the book immed

    BriAndrew squeezed my hand and I came back to myself, the skulls and the burned out candles still in place from that day, lay in the center of the room. My beast eyed the old remnants of splattered blood and chalk etchings, never removed from the floor; they had left it for years, intending to finish the rite. My stomach turned. I looked at Andrew, who appeared pale as he looked back at me.“I never thanked you for buying me time, the time I desperately needed.” He squeezed my hand again. “It was us or them. I had to give you an opportunity, or it would have been the end for us both if they won,” he said with a shrug. I studied the room for anything vile. However, the time was up, and though the remnants of the dark intentions of the room was a heavy weight, nothing could hurt anyone here, anymore.“It’s safe,” I announced, letting go of Andrew and stepping into the room first. I had conquered these enemies, well, most of them. It was time to face the past and stop letting it be a

    BriAfter lunch, I felt more focused. They followed me without a word as I strode into the empty hall. I should be judging grievances, my shoulders sagged as I turned on them. “What’s this about?” I demanded answers…NOW.“We didn’t know how you would be coming back to us,” Andrew admitted. “I had Zoey cancel for today.”I huffed, turned, and went back through the doors. “Then I suppose we have other things to do just as equally important.” The three glanced at each other, confused. “It’s time to strip my mother’s taint on this place from the heart.” I rounded down the hall to the steps, surprised to see Sadie stepping up from the lower floor. The corner of my mouth turned up at her violating my wishes. At least it happened on a quiet day. No matter, I hooked my arm with the girl’s.“I think you need to see where your new Luna was born,” was all I said, her expression still surprised, and braced for punishment for not staying where I left her.At the top of the stairs to the top floor

    BriI had needed the new wardrobe, not just to be less abrasive at court, but I also needed something that would scream Luna to Sadie’s mother. Not too over the top, however, portraying wealth and a flare of what was expected of the mainstream Lunas. A halter crochet dress with a deep V in the front, in a deep green, paired with a cream crochet shrug with soft fringe; a softer look than I normally would choose. The threads hugged the curves and muscles of my newly acquired physique. The wolf made me strong; whereas, my Beast made me much stronger, both physically and mentally. I’d have a radar on this bitch from the get go. Maggie almost dropped the coffee she was brandishing when she saw me.“Bri! Damn, you look good,” she said, crossing the room after depositing the forgotten coffee on her disaster of a desk. She hugged me and I returned it. Gaia, I loved this woman. I reflected the love she expelled right back into her with my own.“Thank you for closing the shop for this. It’s imp

I picked up the trinkets and closed my palm over them, enforcing the talismans and strengthening their power. Before I

    Zoey“What’s this about?” Bri asked, sitting back in her chair. She wore Wyatt’s shirt open with only a thin low-cut bralette beneath. The new tattoo she’d had Issac drill into her skin was simple and elegant as it rested on her sternum just below her breasts. Up the center of her chest, the water li

    9 months laterBri`Calloused hands slid across my skin, I was impossibly full of them, their love. Open-mouth kisses and unshaven stubble grazed my skin as their energies played a symphony with mine. Waves of ecstasy rose and crashed and rose again. Tongues danced in time as we writhed together in th

    BeauI’d taken up the fighting the day she sent us away. I was angry and stupid, and I was still being stupid months later. Wyatt was right I’d let myself be delusional to think in the end she’d choose us. I hadn’t realized how strong that hope was until she barred us from ever seeking her out. I cou
