Moonlit Vengeance

Keva-Today was the day. I could officially be with my boyfriend, not only as his mate but as the Luna of our Pack, the Stark Growlers. We have kept our relationship a secret for the past two years, but it wasn’t all Ethan’s fault. I had been the one to suggest it.Two and a half years ago, when I met Ethan, he had been an Omega. I saved him from a gang of rogues trying to kill him. I instantly fell in love with him. We weren’t fated mates, but I decided he was the one I wanted to be with.I was only seventeen at the time, so I never knew if I had a fated mate out there, but I didn’t care. I had gone to Stark Growlers to aid the pack under my father's orders. Even at seventeen, I was a skilled warrior. Ultimately, I didn’t keep my appointment because I decided after meeting Ethan I wanted to keep my identity a secret.Not because I didn’t trust him, but because I could see he was prideful. After saving him, he admitted he was weak and shouldn’t have left the pack territory alone. He h

Keva-When I woke sometime later, I was chained to a wall in a dank basement that smelled of mold. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the dimly lit space. When I could see clearly, Ethan and Natalie stood a few feet away, with Natalie tucked under Ethan’s arm.“Where am I?” I groaned as I pulled at the chains that bound my wrists above my head.“It doesn’t matter where you are.” Natalie snorted. “You won’t survive much longer, so why do you care?”“Why are you doing this?” My eyes went to Ethan.Although he has shown his true colors, a part of me still hoped that there was a part of him that cared. Yet, as I looked into his dark brown eyes, all I saw was disgust. Pain exploded inside my chest as I looked at the man I had loved with all of my heart.“When we first met, I admit I did want to be with you. Not out of love but because you were the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I never loved you. You were nothing more than a trophy I wanted to win or a vase I wanted to collec

Daxton-“How about we leave you to get some rest? Carter and I will head home with Dad, to set up things. The doctor said you would need to stay here for a couple of days.” Silas’s gaze moved from Keva to me. “How about you stay with her for now?”“Sure.” I hoped that Keva didn’t notice anything in my voice.“I will be fine on my own.” Keva argued.“Nonsense.” The Alpha King, Charles, shook his head and patted Keva on the head. “After what they did to you, I will not allow you to be alone until you return home. I will feel better knowing someone is here to protect you. I don’t know what you have been through these past two years, but your body and wolf are weak.”I tried not to seem obvious that I wanted Keva to agree to let me stay. Since the moment she woke up, I have done my best to seem indifferent. I don’t know what she went through with Ethan, but I could tell by the condition she was in when I found her, that it was bad.If I had known that she would meet someone like Ethan, I n

Keva-On the third day, I could finally leave the hospital. It hadn’t been terrible to stay at the hospital, but it felt as if the walls were closing in on me. A lot had to do with how Daxton kept hovering over me. Other than when he left me alone with Madison after she arrived, he hadn’t left my side.Even when I went to the bathroom, he stood guard outside of the door. The worst part was that it was almost impossible to start a conversation with him. When he did manage to talk, it was short and simple, maybe a word here or there, a nod or a grunt.“Where are you parked?” I asked Daxton as we exited the hospital.“Over there.” He nodded to the north end of the parking lot, where I saw a familiar motorcycle.“You still have that?” I cocked my head to the side as I walked alongside him.“Why wouldn’t I?” Daxton shrugged. “It’s a good bike.”“I doubt it is a good bike, considering a ten-year-old bought it for you.” I scoffed and tried to hide my smile.When he turned sixteen, I overhear

Keva-The following morning, I immediately turned on the laptop Silas gave me. Since I fell asleep on the couch, I didn’t need to go far. It didn’t take long for me to connect to a video feed coming from the camera on Carter.The camera showed him talking to his friend, as they rode in a car together. I had hoped he would already be dealing with Ethan, but I was also glad he hadn’t started yet. I wasn’t sure how much time I had to spare before Carter met with Ethan, so I quickly set the computer aside to use the restroom and freshen up for the day.When I returned downstairs, I was Daxton. “Good morning.” He spoke.“Where did you go last night?” I asked out of curiosity but didn’t expect him to answer.“I had a call I had to handle. When I finished, I didn’t want to bother you while you were with your father, so I slept in a guest room.”“Oh.” I nodded, feeling a little awkward.Taking in his appearance, it seemed as if he had been awake for a while. There wasn’t any trace of sleepine
