Lory’s POV

I can't keep my eyes closed any longer, this wonderful scent makes my heart race. I need to find out who it belongs to.

I open my eyes and see Jackson. My surprise is great. Could the scent really belong to him? I know that he has recently been coming here for car repairs, and he has always caught my eye, but I am sure that he knows nothing about my existence.

He is tall, muscular, with stunning dark blue eyes and strong black hair. His facial features are like Apollo's. I have never seen such an attractive man, and today he is especially noticeable. I feel as if someone is purring inside me.

His eyes are so deep, and I can't tear my gaze away from them. It seems that he is also lost in my eyes. His eyes are so familiar yet so captivating to me. He seems so familiar, but I have to remind myself that a man like him couldn't possibly notice someone like me. Next to him, I feel like a child.

I look down and wait for what Jackson wants to discuss with Ben.

"Hello. Lory, is today your birthday?" Jackson asks.

I didn't know what to say immediately. I looked at him in astonishment. He is really talking to me, and he knows my name. I couldn't think of anything to say, just stared at him.

"Lory is indeed turning 18 today," Ben announced cheerfully.

"Happy birthday. I am so glad that I can give you my wishes on the right day. But I would have been much happier if I had known this earlier," Jackson said.

What did he mean by that? I was speechless and felt my cheeks turning red.

"Thank you. I didn't know you even knew my name," I said but felt awkward about my words and looked down.

"Of course, I know your name. You have a beautiful name, Lory," Jackson said softly, moving closer to us as he said it. "I have been trying to talk to you, but you always seemed to be in a hurry."

"I'll go check if Jackson's friend's car has already been taken in for repair. Maybe I can talk to Mateo about what needs to be done with it and when he can pick it up," Ben said, looking between me and Jackson, and quickly left the kitchen.

For a moment, I was anxious. Why did he leave me alone with Jackson? Why did Jackson start talking to me today, now that I am about to leave? A wave of sadness washed over me, I was sad that I wouldn't see Jackson anymore after today, and it felt like something inside me was breaking. I didn't want to think about it too much and was already ready to reconsider my decision to leave.

"Ben mentioned that you are moving?" Jackson asked.

"I... I am leaving today, yes. Ben found me a new job, and I get to go to a new school," I said anxiously, looking down.

"Where are you moving to, and are you moving with your entire family?" Jackson asked, puzzled. He seemed tense, and it made me feel confused.

"I turned 18 today and am moving alone. I am moving to Moon Stone, a small town near the mountains. It's a few hours away from here," I said quickly, as if to reassure him. I don't even know why I told him where I was moving since I had kept it a secret until now and just blurted it out as if it were no secret at all.

I glanced at Jackson from the corner of my eye, and his expression was cheerful. Does my move make him happy? I don't understand why this would make him happy.

"Moon Stone is my hometown. Our community lives right on the edge of Moon Stone, and I have many acquaintances there," Jackson said excitedly.

How is that possible? I didn't know that Jackson lived so far away, but I was glad that I was moving closer to him.

"How were you planning to move today?" Jackson asked, excited.

"I have bus tickets bought, and I have already booked a room in a hostel," I said hurriedly.

"Mateo and I are driving back home soon. Would you like to come with us? It won't be as comfortable on the bus as with us, and I would be happy to have the opportunity to introduce you to Moon Stone," Jackson said, moving closer to me.

His enchanting scent was getting stronger, and I couldn't resist it.

"Are you sure it won't be a bother?" I asked cautiously, looking into his eyes. I don't actually know him, but I feel in my heart that being with him is safe. I hope his friend Mateo is just as pleasant a person.

"Of course, it won't be," Jackson said enthusiastically.

"Alright, I will ride with you then. That way, I'll get a ride and a city tour, and I won't have to carry my luggage myself," I said, smiling.

  • Our Luna   My Choice

    Lory’s POV I had reached peace and I had nothing to regret. I knew that I had got my goal, which I really needed to get. It was necessary to remove Fiona and her evil from the world. I couldn't leave her there to destroy my family. She had done so much harm and I couldn't let her go on anymore. I had found peace and that was enough for me at the moment.Naima and I would have liked to stay with our mates, but our happiness is not greater than all the happiness of others that had been destroyed by Fiona. The more I had rested, the stronger I felt I became. My body was dead, but my and Naima's jorney wasn't over, we were strong together, and I didn't feel alone.In the great emptiness, I closed my eyes and thought about all the elements that were in nature: water, earth, air, and fire. I was able to create my own reality for me and Naima, where we can be together. "Look, what do you want our world to have? The forest, the clearings, the hares, who to chase?""And the Moon," said Naima

  • Our Luna   Ashes

    Lory’s POV My wolf could no longer protect me, we had united, but her strength was not infinite either, and since we were fighting together, she could not heal me. My hand was sore, I realized that Naima had taken much of the pain, but that didn't change the fact that I couldn't use the wand with that hand anymore. Fiona was in triumphant fashion, but I hadn't given up. I knew that giving up couldn't be an option, because everyone else depended on me winning. I couldn't give up, because everyone else would be dead with my death, because Fiona would then be invincible and she wouldn't leave anyone who had opposed her alive. Jackon had reached me, and he was ready to attack Fiona, who had already cast her spell in her groove. Jackson raised his shield and pointed it at me as well. I could see that his shield was stronger now that he was closer. But he was already getting tired. Fiona aimed the fireball at Jackson, and I pulled it to myself because I knew it could damage Jackson's shie

  • Our Luna   My Elements

    Lory’s POVWe had been aware for some time that Fiona's witches had tried to poison our water supplies, and we allowed it to happen beautifully. By that time, I had managed to master my elemental control abilities nicely, and thanks to that, I had no problem separating the poison from the water. This gave us the advantage that they didn't know our true strength. Fiona had an army of witches, and it was good for us that she planned to come after us with only a partial army, as it would have been difficult and would certainly have resulted in deaths if she had come to destroy our pack. We were ready for anything, but this move was in our favor. When I understood what they were planning, I gave everyone the order to submit to the roots, and we could take the battle away from our weakest without a single casualty. Fiona didn't realize that when she was directing her fire at Jackson, I was actually directing the fire and Jackson was projecting his defense onto me and my parents. We protec

  • Our Luna   The Fire Is Mine

    Fiona’s POV They were finally here. Their energy was drained, and I was satisfied with that. Everything had been so simple, so logical. Of course, it had—we had planned everything meticulously, leaving no room for mistakes. I was certain of our success. Everything was in place for the ritual to proceed. Ester and Leena had already prepared everything at our camp; now, all that remained was waiting for the right moment. For both wolves and witches, the full moon is a source of power. And since this mutt was a hybrid, the moonlight would be at its peak during the full moon—the strongest possible time to strip her of her abilities. The wolves had made feeble attempts to attack Laura’s witches as some of them regained consciousness, but their efforts were weak and ultimately futile. At our camp, everything was ready to conduct the sacrifice. We had gathered in the clearing, where Lory was staked to the ground, shackled beside her parents. Each of them was encircled by rings of salt

  • Our Luna   Weakened Enemy

    Fiona’s POV We have repeatedly tried to extract Melisande from her cocoon, but nothing we have done has worked. We have wasted too much time on this, which has only given the wolves the opportunity to grow stronger. The day after our attack, we were fortunate enough to seal their entire pack within their territory. My witches maintain a barrier around them at all times, ensuring they have no contact with the outside world and no means of escape. Their supplies have not yet run out, but soon they will. Soon, they will be desperate to find a way out. I am certain they will secretly attempt to create cracks in our defenses, and that plays perfectly into our plans—allowing us to destroy them in small groups as they try. Additionally, we have altered their drinking water. They have not even realized that, with each passing day, they are consuming our enchanted water, which gradually weakens them and makes them ill. One more week, and they will be perfectly ripe for our attack. I wi

  • Our Luna   Unity

    Lory’s POV It was time for a shower again, I thought to myself with a smirk. I knew we had to get moving—we couldn’t just stay in bed all day. There was so much to do, and at the same time, our abilities needed to keep developing. After a quick shared shower and getting dressed, Jackson and I headed downstairs to the kitchen. I was starving—my body needed food, and my stomach growled loudly. Jackson just laughed at the sound and started pulling food out of the fridge. “I’ll make you a hearty omelet with bacon. You haven’t eaten properly in a while. In the meantime, you can have one of Mom’s pastries—she saved some from breakfast.” I smiled at him, nodded, and grabbed the basket of pastries Helena had made. They had always been amazing, and I couldn’t wait to taste their delicious flavor again. “You’re finally awake,” Mom said as she walked into the kitchen. “We were starting to think you’d sleep through the entire day,” Dad added as he followed her, placing a quick kiss on my

  • Our Luna   Re-marking

    Lory's POV I was so tired after these rituals that I didn't even notice when I had fallen asleep. When I woke up the next morning at Jackson's parents' home, I couldn't even figure out where I was. I felt different, something had changed, and I wanted to see if that change would show in my appearance. Looking at myself in the mirror, it seemed as if I had developed an orange and silver glow in my eyes. "Naima, how do you feel?" “I don’t know, I feel rested and full of energy, like I’ve finally been set free. I can’t wait until we shift so I can test whether anything has actually changed,” she said cheerfully, bouncing around in my mind. “I feel the same—rested and free. Like I know exactly what I need to do, and I’m ready to act.” “Well then, what are we waiting for? Let’s get moving, ladies!” Naima laughed. I heard the door to our room open, and I immediately knew that Jackson had returned. I hadn’t closed the bathroom door, and he walked in, standing in the doorway with a spec

  • Our Luna   I Love You

    Lory’s POV Jackson and I stood before our people. The air was charged with magic. The moon, now high in the sky, was clear and illuminated our gathering. Its rays, combined with the glow of our torches, reflected off the lake at our feet. The faint rustling of the forest surrounding the clearing added to the atmosphere. We needed to complete the final part of the mating ritual first. Jackson had already marked me, but there had been no witnesses at the time. Now, he had to bite over my mark, and I had to mark him in return. It was strange—this act was inherently intimate, but we had to skip the more sensual aspects, as I wasn’t willing to perform that part in front of others. Thankfully, it was no longer required as it had been in ancient times. I felt our connection deepen. I hadn’t thought it possible for it to grow any stronger, but it did. We both felt it. Our minds were more intertwined, our emotions more connected. I focused solely on him, and I could see the energy flowing

  • Our Luna   Luna

    Lory’s POV Our wolves—our pack—arrived within minutes of realizing we had returned. They were prepared to defend us, though thankfully, it wasn’t necessary. They had fled, and I was glad they had—at that moment, they had no other choice. Today, history did not repeat itself. “Gather our fallen, and our elders will lead the burial ritual,” Jackson said. With the wolves came witches who had recently joined the pack, ready to fight alongside us against Fiona’s rule. I watched as their eyes scanned the fallen witches—those who had died in battle—but they remained silent. They knew that these witches had been enemies of the wolves, but they said nothing. **“Gather all the fallen witches, perform the rituals to ensure their spirits find peace, and bury them beyond our eastern border. Our patrol must be restored, and six men will accompany you to keep us connected in case you need assistance. If anyone attacks, you must return within the borders immediately,”** I instructed firmly.
