48 - Aftermath
***Naomi's POV***
My steps guide me to Matthew's office. Everyone had gathered there to discuss the recent attack on our lands and the Beta couple's abduction—Charlotte and Morris.
Dr. Reyes had assembled an emergency hospital in the packhouse's old medical quarters to treat the many werewolves wounded in battle. The battlefield was near the retired hospital facilities, allowing the medical team to treat everyone quickly. The stable patients were mobilized to the new hospital downtown, creating more patient accommodation.
Matthew, fearing my energy manifestation and consequent cocoon stage had drained me, had insisted I take the evening off. But as usual, I had other plans. Whatever happened in the realm of souls had fully unlocked Blizzard, and I no lon

Luna’s Replacement 49 - My Heart
***Naomi's POV***My shocked state muffles down all my senses. People around me shout, yell, scream; however, this obnoxious ring is all I can hear. The warm red fluid drips down my hands as I apply pressure to Matt's chest wound as he protectively holds me against him. I try to understand what is going on, but the reality I am told is too much.-"She is dead because of you! You killed her." His words play loud and clear over the uproarious buzzing chatter.In the earlier hours of the morning, Luke and Jax found Morris and brought him back to his farmhouse retreat. Matt and I headed over the moment we heard he was back, but Morris launched at me as soon as I stepped through the front door threshold. Not because he missed me, but because he was so hurt he wanted me dead
Luna’s Replacement 50 - Amor
***Naomi's POV*** Stirring from my sleep, I notice something is anchoring me under the soft blanket. I open my eyes to face the fireplace burning coals now almost out. Matt's sudden declaration made me cry for a long time, to the point I had fallen asleep between sobs. As I try to sit up, I experience resistance at my waistline and Matt's husky voice. -"Going somewhere?" I lay back down, but this time, facing him. His eyes are closed, and the dark circles around them are gone. A clear sign he had managed to rest. -"No. I am right where I want to be." A smile forms on his face, and he opens his eyes, placing a chaste kiss on my forehead. -"Do you want to go for a walk? It stopped snowing."

However, the member's ashes were scattered in the field behind the packhouse, wherein Springtime, it will become a cutting flower garden. I personally thought this was a fantastic idea, and believe it or not, Elder Theo was the bright mind behind it. The fallen heroes would be given a chance to return home through the flower bouquets.My family was still around. In fact, I am one to believe that my parents have officially moved into Blue Pine Creek, more precisely into Alphas mansion. They are staying

Luna’s Replacement 53 - Untold Secrets
***Mathew's POV*** We bicker among ourselves about what to do next. Daniel had, yet again, escaped along with his beta-rat I caught lurking in the pack's library. He stole a book from the secret room and had vanished within the woods. With no scent to track him down, we lost him completely. Especially after the sharp pain that came through Naomi and I's bond, it had me on my knees in seconds. My eyes met Arlene's, and her expression told me, somehow, she felt Naomi's distress too. She and Maximus were with me when Morris reported the strange person scaring people in the library and followed pronto, ready to support if the threat proved to be dangerous. So when she saw me bent over in pain as I held my neck, she didn't waste time. Her hands moved through the air to create a purple light whirlpool, vanishing through it with Maximus in tow. Not
Luna’s Replacement 54 - The Witch's Vow
***Nina White's POV***One of the disadvantages of having a human body is stress. While a werewolf can shift and run it off, humans often need to involve themselves in certain unhealthy habits.

The she-wolf I have chosen for my evening carnal desires stirs but remains asleep as I get off the bed.Grabbing my whisky glass, I sip on it before admiring the naked beauty before me.

But I can't fill that void left in me when he stole her from me.My hand swirls the orange liquid inside the crystal glass as my
Luna’s Replacement 55 - The Calm Before The Storm
***Naomi's POV***Along with the other ally Alphas, Matt and I raided Woodlands pack territory before the first sunlight rays had the chance to peek from behind the mountains, but we found absolutely nothing. And the same empty sight repeated itself the following weeks. We would gather information about Leo and his pack's whereabouts, but they were always empty the moment we hit the compounds. It was as if they knew our every step, our every move, and vanished just before we got a chance to confront them.-"Argggh!" I grunt in frustration as I let my body slump on the black settee in Matt's office, papers scattering everywhere.Matt suspects, well, more like he is certain, we have a mole among us. Only he and I share this knowledge, though. It's a ris
Luna’s Replacement 56 - The Needle in the Haystack
Sitting abruptly, I take long breathes, trying to fight back nausea my spinning head is making me feel. It's as if I rode the merry-go-round on a high-velocity cycle with my eyes closed and then attempted to walk a straight line. Instinctively, I try to cover my mouth and stop myself from pouring lunch out, only to face my constrictive reality and searing pain to my wrist. I have no notion of time or place, but my sixth sense tells me this is far from home.The rhythmic machine whooshes along with the rancid smell emphasize the eeriness of the darkness surrounding me. The silver and the wolfsbane block Artemis' powers, but I still have Blizzard's energy flowing within. It's in my best interest to stay put and try to understand where exactly I am and who took me before doing anything drastic or attempting to escape. Fighting a werewolf in this condition would put me at a significant disad
