A short chapter, but that's because I really want to write about Moon meeting her father.
Moon’s pov Sleeping next to Kai was the best night sleep I had ever had. But I wouldn’t tell him that. Things were too difficult. He was nice to me now and he said he believed me, but we could never get past what I did. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw the woman who had done horrible things for Norman. So I could only imagine what Kai thought when he saw me. Besides, he just lost hid dad, his hand. No, no I had to get the thought of Kai out of my head. He wasn’t mine. Even if he was my mate and I had marked him, he wasn’t in love with me and he deserved better. I left Kai’s tent and got dressed. I didn’t have any nice clothes, so I had no idea what to wear. Grandpa came to pick me up, holding a large box. “I thought you might not have something to wear?” “You bought me a dress, grandpa?” I said confused. Grandpa winked, “don’t worry, it’s nothing bad. An outfit befitting for an Alpha.” I opened the box and inside was a black jumpsuit. It had thick straps and golden
Kai’s pov Moon didn’t come home until very late. I spent the day talking to Moon’s Beta and Gamma, showing them the weak spots in my pack. It felt strange, letting another pack know where the best places were to attack us. But I wanted this attack to be over quickly and with as little casualties, on both sides, as possible. Alpha Malcom was traveling to my pack, to say goodbye to my father. The whole thing was fucked up. instead of being at home at my dad’s funeral, I was busy sharing pack secrets to our “enemy.” But I knew who the real enemy was, that fucker Norman. I just hoped Moon got some good news. Through our bond I felt like it went well. She seemed more relaxed. She deserved it, after everything she had gone through. As soon as I heard Moon, well, I actually smelled her first, come into the pack, I wanted to ask her how it went. Everyone else was already asleep, but I couldn’t sleep. “Or you are too scared.” Ronin said. “I’m not too scared, I just don’t want to wake up t
Moon’s pov “We can’t.” I whispered, scared to say it oud loud. I wanted to, so badly, but it wasn’t smart to kiss Kai now. “I know.” Kai said and he kissed me. We stood there, looking at each other. It was almost like it used to be, before all this bullshit. But we were different people now. We were both hurting and all I wanted was for Kai to feel better. A break from everything. “Would it help make you feel better?” He nodded, “yes, but you don’t have to, if you don’t want to.” But I wanted to, badly. I knew that it would make me feel better too. Just for a short time. The sparks I was feeling right now, were proof of it. We could make each other forget, for a little bit. "Well, then," Kai said and he kissed me. I had felt so bad for Kai. Losing his dad, not being able to be there to say goodbye. I had a lot of fond memories of Alpha Tallon myself. Which was hard, considering he was the one that ordered the attack on my pack. I wanted the man dead, but when it actually happ
Kai’s pov Moon cried for hours, while I held her. Until we were both too tired and we fell asleep. I woke up, with Moon still lying on top of me. “You called her “my Moon,” last night.” Ronin said, first thing when I woke up. “No, I didn’t.” “Yeah, you did. She is our Moon. Our mate. And we belong together.” Ronin, clearly approved of what we did last night. It was wrong, but fucking hell, did it feel right. Those sparks everywhere we touched and we had touched a lot. Her scent, all over me. Everything was right about last night and at the end, I just wanted to savor it. Knowing it wouldn’t last. So I went slow and took my time. Took all of Moon in. I wanted to remember how she felt, how she tasted. Not Mona, I knew what Mona was like. But Moon. She was the same, but different. Moon had learned some new tricks, her body had matured and she had scars and muscles, she didn’t have before. Moon felt deeply, I could sense it through the bond. She hurt deeply, loved deeply, protected d
Moon's pov We drove to my old packground with Alpha Malcom's men and his Beta. We could have shifted and ran, but we wanted to save our energy for the battle that was to come. We would all be meeting there and then split up into four different groups. Most of these group had one or more member of each pack, this way we could still communicate with each other. Tabitha had another idea, how some of us could communicate, but I didn’t feel she realized what her idea might actually mean. “You mean, when she suggested Kai marks you as well? So you’d be able to mindlink? And he’d might be strong enough to withstand Helena’s magic?” Angela growled. She was pissed with me for dismissing Tabitha's idea so easily. But I couldn’t do that to Kai. Since I had marked him, he would be able to feel me getting hurt. But once we were both marked, we would be tied together forever and it would hurt even more if I died. It would be too hard to deal with, losing your mate. Enough to hinder him, during
Kai’s pov Could there actually be a chance for Moon and me to move on? Could there be a future? “As much as I like your way of thinking right now, we need to focus on this fight!” Ronin growled. Moon’s wolf Angela was leading our group as we ran passed the other wolves fighting. The closer I got to the Crimson Moon pack, the more I could feel my packmembers again and I kind of wish I didn’t, because there were a lot of packlinks breaking in a short amount of time. Helena had turned the soldiers of my pack into feral wolves, killing anyone on sight. They fought without fear and it looked like they weren't even feeling pain. There was no way to hold them back, without killing them or at least almost killing them. They just kept going until they couldn't move anymore or were dead. Alpha Malcom’s soldiers were fighting them off on one side, the Wolvin pack was attacking the rest together with Alpha Boden and his soldiers. We had the numbers to beat them, at least we should have, but t
Moon’s pov I ran ahead, my eyes focused on where I needed to go. I knew if I saw any of my packmembers in pain, that my instinct would make me run towards them and help. But we had a mission. I had to think of the bigger picture. We needed to kill Helena and Norman. Helena first, because even while not looking at the battle around me, I could tell her magic was influencing our people and hers. Yes, hers. Because they were no longer the Crimson Moon pack’s people, they were mindless zombies killing anyone on sight. Even though we had pulled a lot of the soldiers away from the border, we still ran into some resistance. I fought with Alpha Magnus and his wolves, pushing passed them to get to our goal. Kai seemed hesitant to fight, maybe he was still unsure of his strength. I knew that if he had both his hands, things would be different. The closer we got to the border, the crazier people were becoming. I couldn’t tell who was who. Someone grabbed me, slicing their claws through my ski
Kai’s pov I chased after Alpha Magnus and Helena’s scent. Helena’s scent was easier to follow, I knew that scent well. I smelled it in every nightmare. Her scent lingered in that cave for hours, while I was stuck there. I shuddered when I thought back to it. Norman had confessed everything to me and then they killed me. I could stay, tried to kill me, but they had actually succesed in fucking killing me for a few minutes and I would still be dead, if it wasn’t for Moon. Moon knew instinctively that I wanted to know if my mother was still alive. She was the only family I had left. “You called her yours again,” Ronin said. “I don’t think so.” I replied, but even I knew I was lying. She was my moon, my stars. She was everything to me, now. Me marking her, had made me realize that my feelings for her hadn’t disappeared. Even when I hated her, I loved her. That’s why I couldn’t kill Moon back then. My Moon. She had captured my heart, my respect, my body and soul. Fuck, I sound like a
