LOGINEsther“What is it that I don’t know?” I look from Jane to Dominic. The entire room is silent, and the only thing they are doing is exchanging glances. “We never intended to kill Felix,” Jane sighs. “Uhm, Why?” I ask, confused. “Why have we been chasing Felix around if we were never going to kill him? After everything he did?”“Why is no one helping me out here?” Jane looks around. I follow her gaze and everyone is keeping a straight face. “We spoke about this when you were locked up by Felix in London.”“And no one thought they should tell me?” “I changed my mind, Jane,” Dominic says lazily. “But you didn’t think of telling us first?” Logan asks. “Telling who what? Could someone please tell me why you are all suddenly best friends with Felix?”“We wanted Felix to live so that he can feel how it is to be a servant,” Dominic says. “ Although his minions think they are doing this for themselves, they are technically working for him, and you know there’s nothing that Felix
JeanetIt’s easy for us to fight the guards, and most of them end up running when they see us approaching.Hilda’s wolf and I run towards each other the moment our eyes meet. I hold her in a hug. We head to the castle and I look through the closet to find clothes for the wolves. I mostly find old clothes from the 1800s. I am beaming at Hilda and complementing her dress when the entire dining area goes silent, the scents of more wolves filling the area. . “What is he doing here?” Valerie says between her teeth. We all go outside and find out that a fight is already breaking out. “Not my dress,” Hilda groans. “I know,” I sigh in response.The werewolves shift, and we waste no time joining in on the fight. I throw a punch at one of the invading werewolves the same moment as I get surrounded by more werewolves. The more we fight, the more other wolves approach us. No one still has any idea of is leading the attach, until I catch a glimpse of Dominic. “So, you thought you w
Esther “You were in so much pain,” I whisper to Dominic, completely ignoring Felix. “It’s nothing,” Dominic grimaces. “Reject him,” Felix repeats. I am pulled away from Dominic by an invisible force and moved to the opposite wall. "What are you doing?" I growl. “Bring me the material,” he says to one of his vampire minions who is standing on the other side of the cell. “I don’t really want to do this, Esther, but you are leaving me with no choice. Don’t force me to be a monster when you are my favorite niece.” “Let her go!” Apollo growls. I feel the invisible string on my wrists, and the minion vampire hands Felix a bowl of extracted ghost orchid liquid. “Hurry up, Esther. My witch is getting tired, and the weaker she gets, the more I’m going to get irritated with you.” I scream as the blade bites into my flesh, the ghost orchid burning me. I am blinded by tears, and Dominic’s growls of protest ripple through the dungeons. Felix’s blade keeps slashing through my flesh on my
Esther “Say something,” Josh mouths. “So, everyone. Our Alpha has been taken and...” “Breathe,” Aiden mouths. I look from Aiden to Josh and then to Hilda, who is giving me a reassuring smile. It’s strange that I have been speaking in public my whole life, but I suddenly feel as if I have run out of words. “We are going to go after my uncle to get our Alpha back and to free the witches he took.” “And how are we going to do that, Luna?” "One werewolf asks. “This is where I need all of you to work with me. I can’t do this alone. I have just gotten here, and there’s so much I still need to learn. So, I need your help and your suggestions. If Alpha Dominic is in Alaska, then I know the forests well. It will be easy to navigate.” “You mean you have no idea where he is?” She scowls. “No, I have no idea...” The murmurs that spread across the training grounds cut off my words. “Will you please be quiet!” Hilda uses a commanding tone. “Those who want to come with me are allowed t
Esther “Will you please give your luna some space and stop staring at her like she is some zoo animal?” Valerie bellows. “Luna, please come.” Hilda extends her hands towards me. My brain is feeling fuzzy, and I feel as if my soul has left my body. I am surrounded because my cries woke everyone. Right now, I am staring into space, the faces of everyone feeling like a blur. “We are supposed to go after them,” I say distractedly. “We will go after them,” Hilda whispers. “I promise.” “What are they even doing to him? Why is he in so much pain?” “We will find him, Luna. Can we please leave?” “I don’t even understand how Felix managed to get in.” I wipe more tears. “Please get up,” she says gently. I do as she asks. She helps me get up and puts her arms around my shoulders from behind. The pack members part to create space as we move, and I am led to my room. Valerie and Pretty follow. I sink into the chair, and the three ladies exchange a look that I don't bother to figure out
Esther“I am not feeling guilty!” Aiden says defensively. “What’s wrong with you?”“There’s nothing wrong with me,” Hilda says.“Stop acting like children!” Dominic chimes in, and they both go silent.It’s night on the drive to Blue Moon, Dominic is holding my hand, and everyone is quiet. It is only for twenty minutes, but it feels like a million hours. There is nothing strange when we arrive. The warriors let us through, and we greet them after getting out of the cars. They bare their necks in submission, and I get strange looks because my scent is different.“Luna,” Sam, one of the warriors, says, and the rest of the warriors bow.“There is no need, really,” I say sheepishly.“This is your luna,” Josh says authoritatively. “You will treat her as one and you will protect her at all costs. Don’t you dare think of challenging her authority if you value your lives.”“Josh,” Dominic says gently.“Sorry, Dom. You have to speak first. I just wanted to get that out of the way.”He nods in r
