A slow trek home
Dekota and Eris stretched out before the cabin’s small cook fire, moving a pot of tea back over the stove iron. The fireplace had an iron slab built into its roof that acted as a perfect heat conductor for a stovetop to heat food, pots, or tea kettles. The cabin was quiet for a few minutes while the tea heated and a pot of grits boiled. When the kettle finally started to sing, Eris poured mugs of tea for everyone.
“So, mind filling us in on a bit of details? The village is a riot with rumor and speculation. Some say werewolves are roaming the woods, some say Stella has turned against the people, others say a curse has been laid on us because of the coven. Others say the white men are the curse,” Dekota said, clearly not believing any of it.
“Are they really that riled up over us?” I asked.
“Us? You mean the two of you? They could care less about Makya here. Sure Chief was worried for a bit, but once he spotted Zophiel he

I nuzzled Convil again before sending him on his way with a mental command. “You make that look natural,” Makya whispered in my ear as he walked past me. “What?” “Working with that wolf. It’s like you can talk to him as if he understands you and obeys.” “He can. why wouldn’t he?” I realized the absurdity of that statement the second it left my mouth. In my mind, I could hear a rumbling snarl that I took to be Stella laughing at my plight. Makya looked hard at me and I wasn’t sure how to take that look. “What do you mean he can understand you?” I huffed at him. “Why is this so hard to understand? Zophiel understands you well enough, doesn’t he?” Makya considered that and seemed to accept it. “I suppose there is something to that. Zophiel and I have been together since he was an eaglet, fresh from the nest.” “Well, does anything that happened at seven lakes have a rational explanation?” Makya signed as he wa

“But father, you saw that they were after her! we can’t just send her off with them!” Makya said. I stepped behind Makya, not wanting to be sent off. The chief looked at me and said softly, “Eileen, I am not sending you off to be with some strangers. Your whole coven is going to a funeral and then coming back. Nothing more. It is the proper thing to do. Observe the formalities and then come home to us.” “You said… one of their men was killed looking for us. Was it determined how he died?” I asked, remembering the beast we had helped slay. Stella had likely finished it with her pack, but it had been shot by us. “Wolves got him. it was one reason I was concerned about…” he glanced around him at Convil and the others who were teasing Jiro, tossing a rabbit over his head. “Chief, your tribe knows and respects Stella.” The chief cocked an eyebrow at me. “Our legions speak of her, and we ascribe the name to a red timber wolf when we see one on the w

The snarls set my nerves on edge and I wondered if I should lash out with a tendril of mental command. ‘Hide, conceal.’ Came Stella mental prod. It was not a tone of concern at the pack’s behavior, but more wary caution. I decided she might be right. There was no point in letting the pack know that I could hear their pack link. ‘Stella, this Alpha… Arvin?’ I pondered. ‘Yes, dominance. Power. Control.’ A shiver came down the mental link. ‘Darkness.’ That darkness more than anything is what I was worried about while we were here. Pay our respects to their dead and be gone. My aunt could keep her ties if she so desired. I wanted nothing to do with them. Mr. Bodolf glared at the pack and I could feel the mental slap that whipped out from him, causing all of the males to step back, as if physically hit. “Let us get our guests back to the mansion. The others should be back in the morning. we need to prepar
The Huntress - Luna Eileen Dinner at Maple Meadows
As the vehicle turned down a long drive, I stared out the window trying to process what I had seen in Misty’s mind. She looked to be in her late twenties now, to those memories must have been about eight to ten years ago. What atrocities had she suffered in the time since? The drive cut through a section of tall red cedar trees, Douglas fir, and towering maple trees, now barren. The road then turned up a small hill to the main house. Overlooking a lake with a creek feeding it and overflowing the far back, a huge manor came into view. It looked like a three-story log cabin but was MASSIVE. As the drive circled around the front, I couldn’t even begin to guess how many rooms this house had. The main level was wrapped in a wide porch with huge polished tree trunks as pillars every few feet. Several large men patrolled the grounds with rifles in hand. I wondered what they were so worried about to have that much security. “Welcome to Maple Meadows. Clearwater

“Gray, tell me, how is your son doing in his training?” Arvin asked, looking to the gray-haired man.Gray finished the slab of meat he was eating before grunting. “The welp is strong enough. His skills are sharp. He just lacks the heart for such things. I think he would rather be out under the moon chasing moonbeams than training to take his place as a delta soldier.” Gray sighed. “I suppose things were a bit different when we were that age. There was present danger to deal with, and reason to train. The last few years have been easy on them.”Arvin smiled. “Such times may yet be upon us all again if the witches’ prophesy is to be believed. This alignment at the end of next year should prove interesting.”Gray perked up, glancing down the table at the matrons, “Is that so? They believe things are in motion?”“Quite.”I watched this exchange between bites of meat. They wer
The Huntress - Luna Eileen Interrupted Hunt at Maple Meadows
Ian was the first to complete his transition. His black wolf was sleek, and the fur was full and silky. The other soldiers lingered in a mid transitional state, long hairy limbs writhing in agony as their bodies tried to complete the shift. Ian padded over to us, and sniffed along our side. We snapped playfully at him, warning him off. As the other hunters finally completed their shift, many showed signs of mange in their fur, and their eyes had turned dark, no longer the human tones they had bore moments before. ‘Ian doesn’t seem as tainted as these others.’ ‘Indeed not. Their actions play a role in how fast the rot takes over. They choose to be more beast than men. Ian… Perhaps he made peace with his wolf. Peace with his new nature.’ It was a thought we would have to ponder further. The hunters set off in looping strides for the southeast. Ian ran out in front of us and Stella yipped in pleasure, sprinting after him. Our powe

When we made it back to the house, Gray was waiting for us. “I see you actually managed to bag something. Well done, Ian.”We shifted back to my human skin, thankful once again for Morrigan’s gift of such an amazing dress. “It was a good kill. We had fun out there.” I did my best to hide my shaking hands. My nerves likely showed and I prayed anything Gray sensed, he would chalk up to adrenaline from the hunt and not the attack.“Your other hunters successful?” I asked. Stella listened to the pack link, and we both smirked as Gray confirmed that the others were still tracking a small herd to the northwest. I wondered if their mange gave off enough stench to warn any deer in the area to run.“You were lucky to find this one lame so close to the house.”I glanced at Ian, who was starting the painful shift back. He writhed on the ground for a moment before covering himself. “Father?”Gra
The Huntress - Luna Eileen A Luna and an Omega
I sprawled on the bed in the plush robe, pulling a blanket up over me. It may be warmer in the room, but I was amazed at how much I already missed the god blessed dress that kept my whole body warm. The only time it had been off me since its gifting was… THAT night. Makya. What would he do to me now, in a bed like this seeing me in only a robe, so easy to undo.My eyes closed as I imagined his warm hands gently sliding under the robe to caress my body, slowly peeling the robe away from my naked form as his lips came close to kiss my breasts.A knock sounded at the door, jarring me from my dream. I sat bolt upright, quickly fixing my robe, as I went to the door to see who had decided to interrupt such a moment.I opened the door to find Kiara standing there with my dress and other clothes folded over her arm and the red poncho draped over it. “Luna? Is everything ok?” she asked, glancing at my hair.I looked at the back of the door where
