The Luna Prophecy 17. Cards
Izzy’s povAfter the shower, Orion and I ate lunch at the motel and spent the rest of the day together. Tomorrow, we would both have to work.I tried everything to focus on our day, and it had been easy when Orion and I had been busy in my bedroom, but it was becoming harder to ignore the pill in my pocket. It felt like it was burning a hole straight into my leg.The moment I smelled the pills, I recognized part of the smell. And the second the pill touched my palm, it started to burn. It was a light burn at first, but when I let the pill sit there, it began to hurt.I dropped the pill on the floor of Orion’s car and pretended to put it back, instead slipping it back into the borrowed shorts from Orion. After the shower, I quickly got it out, putting it in the first place I could think of: my jean pocket.Over the last few weeks, I had bought some clothes, but my wardrobe was still a lot smaller than it had been at home. Not that it mattered to me; I would trade everything I had back h
The Luna Prophecy 18. Sick
Orion’s povAs soon as I saw Izzy run for the bathroom, I helped her, but the scent of throw-up made memories resurface that I had pushed down. I didn’t want to think about that.I wanted to be there for Izzy, but after what happened this weekend with hearing that voice again, it wasn’t a good idea. Maybe the doctor was right; I needed to be careful or I’d lose control again, and there was no telling what I would do."Please, help Izzy.""You can help her; it’s fine. Take the day off. I can handle it today. " Erin said when I called her from outside Izzy's room. I didn't want Izzy to overhear me."I can’t." I said, and the sound of my voice was enough for Erin to come up with a lie.I tried to focus on work, but I wanted to go to Izzy. I was her boyfriend; it was my job to take care of her, and my stupid issues got the best of me. What the fuck was I a boyfriend for if I couldn’t take care of my girlfriend?But the moment I decided to go to Izzy and stepped into her room, the scent of
The Luna Prophecy 19. Found
Finn’s pov"Maybe we should just give up?" I asked my parents. "I mean, what if she doesn’t want to be found?"Mom shook her head, "no. We don’t even know if she ran away or if she was taken. Isadora will become the next Luna, so she is a valuable person to kidnap.""If she was kidnapped, they would have used her for leverage already." I said. I didn't know why they thought someone took Izzy. I think mom just had a hard time admitting that her daughter had run away from her responsibilities and that stupid fucking prophecy. But my sister being kidnapped would imply our pack was easy to get into by enemy wolves, and our pack had one of the best-guarded borders in the country.Dad sighed, "Jordan wants to take over as Alpha, but until Isadora is here, that will cause unrest amongst the pack. They’ve all known about the prophecy for years, and they all trust in the oracle. If the oracle was wrong about your sister, what else was she wrong about? Jordan can't take the title until your sist
The Luna Prophecy 20. Hidden
Izzy’s povI wasn’t going to give up. I would get Orion off these pills somehow, but at that moment I didn’t have the strength to argue further.The next day I went to work feeling a lot better, but the fatigue and nausea stayed for a few more days. I couldn’t miss more days, though, so I sucked it up and went to work. Things went back to normal, but the pills were still on my mind.The one question that I couldn’t get an answer to was: why did the doctor use wolfsbane in those pills?I had gotten a cheap prepaid phone so I could call Orion, but it didn’t have internet, but there was an old PC in the motel. I looked online to see if wolfsbane had any medicinal purposes, although I was sure there was more inside the pills. I even suspected some silver powder.When severely diluted, wolfsbane was used in the past for pain, numbness, asthma, fever, and loss of hair. I also learned why it was called wolfsbane because it was used on the tip of hunters' arrows before they hunted wolves. Nowh
The Luna Prophecy 21. Talk
Orion’s pov"Why did you come here?" Izzy asked me, but that wasn’t the important question right now.Yeah, it was odd that the whole fucking day I felt like something was going to happen to Izzy. To the point that I asked Erin if I could stop work earlier.As soon as Erin said yes, I went to Izzy’s work, but she had already left, so I went to the gym where she said she was heading. But she wasn’t there.Why would she lie to me?‘Follow your nose. You have to find her.’ Knox said."What the fuck does that mean?" Shit, now I was talking back to the damn voice.Instead, I drove back to the dinner and asked if Luke had seen which way Izzy went after work, and he told me she took a bus. I followed the route of the bus, and it led me to a bus stop really close to the doctor. I knew immediately that she got out here. There wasn't anything else for her to find along this route.Why would she stop here? Was she still thinking about those damn pills?! Why couldn’t Izzy just let this go? The pil
The Luna Prophecy 22. Distraction
Izzy’s pov I wanted to tell Orion about Jordan, but it was more important that he knew the truth about who I was and who I thought he was too. But his touch was so distracting, and I could wait for a bit. Even though I knew that it was wrong to give into this feeling right now, I couldn’t help myself once Orion started to touch me. Orion kissed the sensitive area on my neck, and his hands went lower, moving my underwear down. "I’ll make you forget that guy ever touched you. You’re not his, and you’ll never have to be." Orion said, pulling away slightly so he was talking directly into my ear. "But you can be mine if you want." Orion whispered, and I wanted nothing more than to be his, but I didn’t know if that was possible. I didn’t give into those feelings of doubt; instead, I pulled Orion on top of me and started kissing him. Orion removed my underwear and pulled down my bra. I helped Orion take off my bra, and then he pulled his pants off, leaving his boxers on. Orion kep
The Luna Prophecy 23. Ironic
TRIGGER WARNING. ABUSE. Orion’s pov I slowly pushed myself inside of Izzy, and it was taking everything not to go hard and fast. God, how did I forget that sex could feel this fucking good? Or was it because it was with Izzy? It felt like my whole body was buzzing, and once Izzy adjusted to my size, I began moving inside of her warm and wet pussy. I licked and sucked on Izzy's neck, knowing that this location drove her insane. Then I felt the sudden urge to bite her, and I even imagined my teeth becoming longer. I needed to bite into her; the urge was too great, and when my teeth went against her skin, all I wanted was to taste her blood and make her mine. But then it dawned on me what I was doing, and I pulled out of Izzy, running towards the bathroom, feeling mortified. "No, stop. You can’t do that." I said, looking at the mirror. ‘She is ours," Knox said. "No. no. no. You can’t just bite, people." ‘She would be fine. Izzy should wear our mark. She is meant for us.’ "What
The Luna Prophecy 24. Sea
Izzy’s pov"Did you guys see you were on the news?" Luke asked me a few days later."What?""Yeah, that dude escaped from a mental hospital. They had a picture of Orion and you coming out of the building and that woman hugging him. Your boyfriend is a damn hero!" Luke spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear.While it was nice to hear someone say anything nice about Orion, it felt extremely hypocritical. For weeks, I had been warned about Orion; people said I was being duped and soon I’d fall victim to his insanity. And now they were praising him?"I guess he really did change." A woman sitting at a table in my section said."Or maybe he wasn’t bad to begin with…." I pointed out. "It takes a lot for someone to snap like that. Did you ever think maybe Richard had something to do with it."The woman shook her head, "no, that man is a saint. Taking in children when he’s already so busy running this town. Even now, he still attends church each Sunday."Everyone agreed Richard was the nices
