“Thud”

“Crash”

Hearing a loud noise, I walk to her room quickly before taking in a deep breath and cautiously unlocking Arabella’s door with the key.  As I open the door, I take stock of everything around me and am painfully obvious of how destructive of a woman she is.  The pillows are shredded, the curtains are in piles all along the walls, and the minute I stare into her eyes, she comes running at me full force.

“Damn you!  You are so” She exclaims before she meets with my chest and is forced to stop in mid-sentence. 

I glance down at her eyes, before her heated gaze stares up at mine.  Raising her closed fists to my chest, she starts to beat on me.  Not caring if she hurts me, I let her pound away for a few minutes, till she seems to be all out of anger and then stops and closes her eyes before stating, “You are so cruel, you have to let me go.  My parents will be worried, and they will call the cops.  My friends will be out looking because they all know who I was with when they last heard from me, so you had better let me go.”  Her face twists up like a child who is about to pout.

Seeing this, I start to laugh and then she really gets mad because then she tries to back up while I grab ahold of her wrists and hold onto her.  “How dare you!  You are such a brute.  I hate you!”

Her hands struggle with mine until I finally let her go and she looks up at me with that twisted face again, but this time she scrunches it up and I see a twinkle in her eye of mischievousness.  Knowing full well what that means, I block the door and watch as she tries to get by me, while the whole time I am laughing.  I raise my voice to her before she gets a chance to move past me, “Watch what you do little one.  I am the Alpha King and that means everyone who is under me listens or faces the consequences.”

Still staring down at her, I watch as her head spins around with vengeance on her small face and she says, “I don’t care what the hell you are.  You are no better than I am, and you will be sorry the second the cops get here, and I bring kidnapping charges against you.”

With a serious look on her face, she begins to fight me again but then she stops in a heartbeat and her face suddenly changes.  The fire in her eyes subsides and then she asks me quietly, “Will you please let me go?  No one ever has to know.  Matter of fact, I am sure this has all been a wild dream.  I didn’t see some weird things fighting in your huge castle.  Instead, it was just a fantastic dream I had after reading a werewolf novel.”

Looking down, she grows quiet and still before I answer her question and then let her go.  “No.  I cannot.  Because the minute you tell anyone about our existence, they will hunt us down like animals till the very last one of us is either captured or dead.  Our pups will become circus attractions or experiments for the government.  I know because I have seen movies where they did such a thing.”

Shaking her head back and forth, she starts to say something, but then grows quiet when she begins to dart her eyes around the room.  Sensing a change, I turn around and see the guards standing behind me, ready to subdue her before she gets a chance to leave.  I glare at them before stating, “She is fine.  She won’t go anywhere unless she is told to.  Now go back to the front entrance and if I need you, you will hear it.  Trust me.”

They glance at each other before nodding towards me and then I watch as they leave the room and the door shuts.  With the room so quiet, it seems empty making me feel a bit odd.  However, when I turn back around to face her, she is sitting on the edge of the bed and is very quietly staring down at her feet neatly crossed in front of her.

Taking a few steps towards her, she immediately looks up with fright in her eyes.  I wonder to myself, “How do I approach her without making her want to hide?”

I raise my hand to my hair and run my fingers through my mane while thinking of a way to calm her, so I may talk with her.  Coming to something that might work, I step backwards and watch her reaction.  She instantly relaxes a little and then she looks up into my eyes with less alarm.

“Alright, I guess I will stay back then.  Does that make you more comfortable for the moment?”  I ask in a quieter, gentler tone as I try to make her more at ease with the current situation.

At first, she refuses to look back up, but then after a few minutes, she holds my gaze with her own and then says, “Please let me go.”  In the sweetest voice I have ever heard in my life.  Her voice almost sounds like it is singing.

I smile and then say slowly, “I can’t.  It would mean the end for all my species.  You are too scared right now to be trusted enough to go back to your people.  Besides, I need to know you.  There is a rare quality within you that makes me want to get to know you more intimately.”

After that last statement, she can no longer hold my gaze because there is a reddish tint spreading across her beautiful face.  She is blushing from what I said, and I can sense that she feels it like I do.  Something is bringing us together like an invisible string and it is a bit scary because it feels like destiny.

The room becomes quiet afterwards and then I decide it might be wise to leave her alone for a short time to think about what I just said.  Perhaps this is a painful beginning to a beautiful end, or it could be that I am reading too much into this and there is absolutely no meaning behind it.  Maybe, just maybe Goddess Luna has decided to play a joke on me.

So, with this all weighing heavily on my mind, I step backwards while watching her and then turn around quickly before leaving the room and locking the door behind me.

    “Dad.” I turn to see Tonya smile and then she starts dancing in her baby blue leotard and tutu on her tiptoes.She has the lead in the ballet tonight, and we are all dressed up in our suits and ball gowns. The pups are so much bigger now, they look like they are at least 6 years old. In their suits and dresses, they look like they are ready to take on the world.It’s amazing that just last year they were newborn pups and couldn’t even walk, let alone hold a conversation with an adult. Looking at them now, I think to myself, “Wow, they are smarter than I could possibly ever imagine. Every time I turn my back, the boys are getting into mischief, while the girls are learning everything, they can about the world around them.Tonya stops and then looks at her watch before declaring, “It’s time!” To all of us with great excitement as she bounces out the door to the car.I smile so pro

    Hearing Arabella’s voice and what she said, I briefly turn towards her and then I hear the witch speaking again. As I turn around to face her, I see that she has turned the page and quickly starts speaking another spell. Her lips move like lightning and then I stop her suddenly when I rip out her tongue, by grasping it between my forefinger and thumb.Horrified by this, she cries and tries to scream, but can’t. The whole thing is terrifying to watch and all the people in the room watching gasp before shielding their eyes from the black blood that seeps out of where her tongue was just a moment before. When she finally stops and stares at me, I hurry and tie her back up before rushing over to the pups.On my way to Arabella, I look back and see the warlock trying to stand up. I yell to the guards, “Make sure they stay down, I will be back in a second. I need to make sure that the pups are alright before I continue.&r

    “What is that noise?” I whisper to Arabella before climbing out of bed.It is 3 in the morning and everything else is quiet except for a scratching sound in the wall. Hearing it again, we glance at each other as I walk over to the wall to investigate further. When it stops suddenly, I stand still in hopes of finding what is causing it.The minute it starts again, I rush towards the wall and then thump on it to scare whatever is inside. Then I hear it, the soft scurrying of little feet. “Shit!” I exclaim when I see the mouse run across the floor just below me.Now we must get a mouse trap and see if we can catch it. If we are lucky, it won’t take long, and I don’t have to lie in bed another night with that awful scratching. It is times like these that I really wish I didn’t have inhuman hearing, because every scratch or scurry of little feet, sends chills up and down m

  • The Luna's Mate: The Alpha King   Chapter 60: Alpha Jason Part 2

    Lying still in bed, I wait for someone to show up with my eyes closed. Waiting for maybe 2 hours before I hear someone at the door, I am rewarded when the doorknob slowly turns. When the door creaks, I wait patiently until heavy footsteps cross the floor.Suddenly, the footsteps increase in speed and then I open my eyes and turn over. Seeing him lunge at me with his claws out and his golden eyes wider than normal, I recognize Alpha Jason right away, even though it is dark in my room. I move quickly and dodge his attack, only to roll off the bed and onto the floor, before jumping onto my feet.He turns and then in a flash he is in my face again. “How he is faster than I am?” I wonder while he tries to kill me, and then I see the vampire in the door, he must have used Jason to get to me.That is how he is moving so fast. Figuring this out, I inspect his neck as I fight off his lashes. Yes, he

    “Shh. Don’t wake up the pups.” I warn Beta Bellamy before walking out of their room.When we reach the hallway and I shut the door behind me, I ask him, “Now what is it that you wanted?”He stares at me for a few seconds before answering my question, “Alpha Jason is telling everyone that he is about to challenge you for the throne. What are you going to do about it?” He stands there awaiting my answer.“Nothing.” I state while shrugging my shoulders and then starting to walk down the stairs to the kitchen.“Stop.” He demands and then I turn around to face him once again.“My king, you must do something, anything. My allegiance is to you and no other. If he takes over, everyone here still loyal to you, will be beheaded and their families will be either banished or the same fate will come of them.” Staring at me with his hand on my

  • The Luna's Mate: The Alpha King   Chapter 58: Daddy

    It’s been several months since that day, and now looking back at it, I realize that I was completely wrong. I should have never touched Kelly or even had that reaction to her at all. Now, I don’t know what to do anymore, because even though Arabella has largely forgiven me, I really do not think she will ever completely.I love her and the pups so much, but I can see it in her eyes. The way she stares at me with longing, I know that she won’t allow herself to do anything about it because of what I have done. This has dominated my thoughts for days, even when I play with the pups and they ask me, “Daddy what’s wrong?” For our kind tend to grow much faster and stronger than humans ever have.They obviously are already talking in simple sentences and learning their alphabet. After all, they are their Daddy’s pups. I smile every time I think about them and their little quirks. “Boy, t
