Hartley pov

I wasn’t looking forward to the all academy meet up. I went because I wanted to see Liberty's battered and broken body when Uncle John was done with her. I wanted to see the pride and arrogance she had in her eyes extinguished. I shall not be ignored.

At night everyone was to be alone in their rooms, no sleeping together. The stories of previous years lead me to believe that installing this new rule is to ensure that Uncle John can go to and from Liberty’s room unnoticed.

Fate, or Uncle John, has placed Verity in the room next to mine. To add to my luck the rooms are connected by a door that is locked but the key hangs next to it. I will be able to have sex with Verity during the weekend. I know from Uncle John that the rooms in the guesthouse are reasonably sound proof.

I wait till a few minutes after the curfew and open the door. I’ve decided to use Verity's bed so I can leave after without any hassle.

“Good evening Verity, ready for some fun?” I drawl in a husky voi

    Liberty pov “I presume all went well as you’re back without MacKenzie,” Dad welcomes me when I enter the kitchen. I can see he is relieved that and back and that MacKenzie is not back.“Yes, all went well. She was scared at first but when I left she and Olwyn were fine.”“We need to talk through possible scenarios after dinner,” Dad calls after me as I make my way upstairs to shower and change into clean clothes.Cooper, Dad, Gamma, Heath and I sit in Dad’s office to discuss the options. We need to have plans for different scenarios. Claude and the rogues might not be on time or he might not come at all. King Truett might not want to send men to fight his son. Though my dream told me the message would at least reach Claude in time. Though I did not see Claude or Cassius fighting I did see Madeline.I share my experience of fighting zombie rogues. They worry about Rosebelle being present this time. We plan on leaving her for Morgan but we don’t know how to recognise her so we could a

  • Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess   115. Unwelcome

    Liberty povAs I watch Maverick leave a heavy feeling grows in my stomach. Mom wraps her arm around me and hugs me from the side. When she wipes a tear from my cheek I pull myself together. We’ve come a long way and we won’t make it if I throw myself a pity party now. Dad is leaving a message for Claude hoping that he will quickly collect it and can come to our aid. If we’re lucky he’ll be here the day after tomorrow. I hope we have more than two days to prepare. We sit at the dining table and chat a little more, making plans and going through different options. MacKenzie and Mum are quietly listening while they’re crocheting. “I’m going to bed, MacKenzie, we're getting up early tomorrow to bring you to Olwyn,” I say as I get up. I fall asleep easily but not long after I notice that I’m having a dream. It’s been awhile since I had a forecasting dream. Though this is the first time that I’m partly conscious and know that this is a dream. I’m watching a fierce battle. I can even see

  • Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess   114. Homeward bound

    Maverick povThe moment I step over Howling Moons borders I feel eyes upon me. It doesn’t feel like Liberty. If she were watching me I would feel love, comfort and worry through the bond. The eyes don’t make me feel uncomfortable, which is strange. Maybe Harrison is following me or having a warrior follow me to keep me safe or to report to him? The eyes seem to come from the forest and not from the pack. Which would make more sense. Unless Harrison sent someone ahead before escorting me to the borders. I stare hard, focusing on the dark trying to see if I can catch the telltale glint of eyes, wolf, lycan or human in the moonlight. Nothing reflects the light. Does that mean that I’m being watched by a magical being or by someone who is extremely good at tracking?Living with the rogues, even if it was only for a relatively short time has brought me and Gunner closer together and has honed our instincts. I contemplate turning round and calling out to whoever is following and watching

  • Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess   113. Preparations

    Maverick povAnxiously I await the return of Cooper and Liberty. Hidden away in Harrison and Shania’s home I have nothing to do than watch the clock and calculate. How long would it take them to get from Howling Moon to The Silent Night Hawk and back? Could they already be back? While Harrison went out to lead the warrior training and go about his day as normal as possible Shania is stuck with me and MacKenzie. She has hundreds of little things that keep her busy. She started a stew in the morning, did a ton of laundry, and drank coffee with me and MacKenzie. Shania prepared lunch for the four of us, MacKenzie seemed to know what to do helping Shania with almost everything. I sit around and feel helpless, useless and frustrated. Every now and then they smile at me, as if they are trying to reassure me. Based on the amount of food she is preparing for dinner Shania is expecting them back in time. It’s late in the afternoon when her eyes glaze over and a wide smile spreads across her

  • Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess   112. Sanctuary

    Liberty povCooper and I slink into the shadows, we want to slip out of the pack unnoticed. We don’t know if Beta Carlo had accomplices and if so who they are. The only pack member I know not to trust is Danny. Though I’m not sure if Danny started hating me for who I was or am or because Verity told him to hate me. Either way I’m sure after the humiliation of passing out at the selection trials and by doing so losing his spot at the academy. We manage to evade the pack’s border patrols. Before we left we discussed shifting but as Naveah has a white belly and silver sides she stands out. The silver parts of her coat glistens in the moonlight and her blue eyes reflect light. Making her easy to spot but also very recognisable. I’ve never seen a wolf like her nor heard of another wolf having such colouring.On our way to the Silent Night Hawk I’m incredibly tense. The night seems quieter than usual. No owls or barking foxes. No death cries of rabbits when they get caught by a predator.

  • Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess   111. Protection

    Maverick povThe knock on the door followed by York's voice causes me to freeze. MacKenzie and I had shared our stories with Liberty’s parents and brother. Liberty told them we were mates. The look in her eyes as she talked about us made me feel loved and pride for my mate pulsed through my entire body. Her father listened to all three of us without judgement. Sure he asked questions and I could see Liberty’s parents and brother were upset that she hadn’t told them earlier that we were mates. Through the bond I felt how much it pained her to have to keep it a secret. MacKenzie’s story was painful to hear. I don’t know why I was so naive about Hartley's ways. I think I just wanted to believe that he would only bed the girls who threw themselves at him. Besides that it is frowned upon to sleep with someone who’s not your mate. Now is the moment where Harrison's loyalty will be tested. Will he hide us? Will he protect us or will he hand us over to York? I’m not worried for myself but
