REBIRTH OF THE ALPHA'S REJECTED LUNA

~Hanesville, twenty-five years ago~ His kisses warmed her lips and sent a tingling sensation down her body. He was a gentle lover, penetrative through all the depths of her body, making her breath rise and fall in ecstasy. She loved him dearly and he loved her too. From the very first night they’d been mated together by the moon goddess, Tave had been a sweet lover. And even when she was tempted to leave him because of who he was, she could never bring herself to stay away from him. “Mmmmm!” She moaned as his lips rubbed against her ears, “I love you, Tave! I’ll never leave you.” He came to a slow stop and brought his eyes directly before hers.“Promise?” Her eyes answered his question long before her lips said it.“Of course,” She saw the look on his face and added, “Don’t you believe me?” He gave a small shrug.“I do.

When she thought she was approaching land, she’d only ended up crossing the borders of the woods to another denser part of the aisle of the wild.Opal was beginning to slow down now, her human energy failing her. Her hair was now a tu

~Hanesville, Present day~Cassandra Blake felt strong hands grab her along the aisle that was lined on either side with cells. She recoiled as she saw the questioning faces of the inmates of the cells, poking their heads out to see who their new member was.Fortunately, the officers that held her on both sides were not heading there. They were heading to somewhere less conspicuous.They came to an abrupt stop before a heavy metal door. One of the police officers let go of her and punched on keys on the electronic keypad on the wall. A moment later, the door creaked open and they entered inside.The inside of the room was painted with bleached white color, and the three seats surrounding a square table in the room were all black. They lowered her forcefully onto one of the seats and exited the room, leaving her alone to herself.Cassandra heaved a deep breath. It had been a long and bizarre day. From the moment she opened the doors of the coffee shop where she worked and found a dead b
