Moonlit Destiny Chapter 8: Teeth Bared
AmyThe tears blur my vision as I stumble away from Elias's house, the pain of this new revelation searing through my chest. My eyes sting, my head swims, my hair whips in the wind but I hardly feel any of it. All I feel is the aching in my heart, replacing the fullness I felt this morning when I woke up in his arms. "I can't believe I was so stupid," I mumble to myself as my suede boots thud against the pavement.I don't know where I'm going, and I don't care, as long as my feet take me away from Elias, away from the heartache that threatens to overwhelm me. It takes a long time before I realize my feet are no longer hitting tarmac, but earth.The woods stand tall around me, the trees silent witnesses to my inner turmoil. I can't shake the feeling that Elias was only using me as a fleeting escape before he meets his wife. The thought brings on a fresh wave of tears as I walk further and further into the woods, seeking solace in the quiet embrace of nature.The silence only serves as
Moonlit Destiny Chapter 9: Tooth and Fur
Elias The quiet solitude of the cave wraps around me as I sit in contemplation. After Amy left, it was all I could do to keep myself from chasing after her, but sure enough, I found myself walking the streets. Not to find her, exactly, but to find an answer -- something that would lead me out of the mire of confusion and toward some kind of clarity. And there's only one place that affords me the peace I need to do that. The echoes of my last conversation with Amy linger in my mind, and the air is thick with the weight of uncertainty. Usually the cave is a place of solitude and silence, but today every inch of the place reminds me of her. The tousled sheets where we spent the night taunt me from the corner, as if reminding me what I've just lost. I want to find her, want to tell her I won't give up on us that easily, but the moment the thought enters my mind, it's followed by my dad's fierce warning. "Fuck him," I spit into the darkness, my face twisted in a scowl hardened by years
Moonlit Destiny Chapter 10: Confessions
Amy The door creaks shut behind us, and the reality of what just transpired hangs in the air, an unspoken tension that neither of us is ready to confront. I guide Elias to the living room, my mind still reeling from the chaotic events in the woods. He winces as he lowers himself onto the couch, the gash on his bicep a tangible reminder of the evening's tumult. I know I need to address what I just saw, but I can't bring myself to say out loud the word that has been bouncing around my mind since Elias transformed before my very eyes. Instead, I retrieve the first aid kit, grateful for the distraction it offers. When I make my way back to the couch, I catch Elias' eye for a moment. That same dark, penetrating look that first drew me to him is trained on me and for a moment, my breath catches in my throat. I manage to brush away that flicker in my chest though, and instead, sit down next to him, trying my best not to sit too close. It's impossible to avoid for long though. "Let me s
Moonlit Destiny Chapter 11: Hot and Wet
Elias Any worry that lingers in my mind around the pack, around the ceremony, it all dissipates the moment my lips touch Amy's. The heat of her rushes through me and with it, a new resolve: I won't give her up, no matter what. That promise carries me into the kiss, but soon, even that thought fades away. The softness of Amy's lips and the warmth of her tongue make me feel as if nothing else exists. All I know is, I want her. I pull her close, and the pain of my wounds melts away, replaced by the heat that flows between us. I feel the rise of her breasts pressed against me, the curve of her back where my hand presses her close. I feel her hair where it falls to brush my cheek, and the softness of her hand where it lays against my chest. I feel an overwhelming rush of love for her as we kiss, deeply, longingly. Soon, my hands travel down her body -- one comes to rest on the curve of her ass while the other caresses her thighs. She's wearing a dress today and it doesn't take long for
Moonlit Destiny Chapter 12: A Glimmer of Hope
Amy It's late by the time we finally collapse into my bed, both of us still glowing and clinging to each other tightly. I never want this to end, and for a second it seems like it never will, like we'll spend the rest of our days entangled in each other's arms and peppering each other with kisses. As we wind ourselves into the bedsheets though, the glow begins to wane a little and soon, the silence between us is no longer contented, but tense. I can't help but turn my thoughts back to the conversation we left unfinished and the questions begin to pile up again. With my head still pressed to Elias' chest, I take a breath, knowing I'm about to break whatever veil of denial remains."Will you stay with me tonight?" I ask softly into the silence. The rustle of the bedsheets and the surge of his chest cause me to pull my head back on the pillow and suddenly he's turned, looking at me with those beautiful dark eyes. "Of course," he nods and it's clear there was never any risk o
Moonlit Destiny Chapter 13: My Brother's Keeper
Elias "I'll be back soon, I promise," I tell Amy the next morning. My hands rest gently on her waist with a new familiarity, and despite the heaviness of what I'm about to do, I still feel a thrill of excitement in my chest as I lean forward to kiss her goodbye. "Just please be careful," she tells me, worry etched in the lines that crease softly at her brow. "I don't want anything to happen to you." "I'll be okay," I reassure her, though I don't know if I quite believe my own words. She seems to realise this too, but by now there's nothing else to say. We give each other one last look before I open the door and step out of her home. I hope my brother will be the ally I need him to be. I make my way to Damien's house, heavy with the weight of the conversation I'm about to have. I know him, know his faults and his qualities, and above all, I know how seriously he takes his role as pack Alpha. I only hope he'll do what's right, rather than what's easy. The weight of the pack is hea
Moonlit Destiny Chapter 14: Heat of the Bond
AmyThe minutes crawl by as I sit at home, my anxiety growing with every passing second. Elias should have been back by now, and the weight of the situation presses down on me. 'I should have gone with him,' I suddenly think, and once that thought is in my brain, I can't get it out. I know it makes little sense - in a world of werewolves, what could I possibly offer him in terms of protection? But somehow the bond between us is so strong that the logic doesn't have to be. I should be with him now, I should be there to help.But along with the desire to be close to him, comes something else - guilt. I know it's because of me that he's in this mess and, although his tales of incompleteness were there long before I was, I can't help but blame myself for the rift that has suddenly torn him from his family in ways that seem irrevocable.The guilt gnaws at my insides—I've caused Elias to confront his family, to make choices that could sever the ties that bind him to his pack.In my mind's
