The Moon Court

I was finally able to fall asleep after cleaning the house, washing the dishes, doing the laundry, making dinner, and getting my brothers and sister to bed, not to mention getting my homework done. I have a major paper due tomorrow, and I just finished it. Getting it done with three three-year-old toddlers running around is not the easiest thing to do. I had just finally fallen into a deep slumber when I was ripped out of bed and dragged down the stairs. Damn that is going to leave a mark or two. “What the fuck is this shit?” My mother yelled at me. “Your father will be home soon, get this shit cleaned up!” She shouted, throwing me in the kitchen. “First of all, you made this mess, I had everything spotless, so you need to clean up after yourself and secondly, he’s NOT my FATHER!” I spat back. My mother reared back and slapped me so hard that she drew blood and making me fall back to the floor. I shook my head slightly trying to get my bearings back. “He IS your FATHER! N

I made my way into the dining room where everyone was already eating, including the three little nuggets. I stood at the door, leaning on the door frame watching them with my mom and Summer. Two boys and the cutest little girl I have ever seen, the boys were slightly bigger than her, she was sitting in the middle of them. They would put small pieces of food on her plate as she finished what was already there. She lifted her little face, and her little eyes were red and puffy from crying. I stood there for a few minutes before Silas came up behind me. “They already have mom’s heart.” He chuckled. “Her and Summer are ready to spoil them rotten.” He smiled at me. “C’mon you need to eat and meet these little nuggets. How’s Storm?” He asked. “She’s still out, not sure how long she’ll be out.” I told him. “I want two guards with her at all times when we are not with her. I don’t want to take any chances that someone will try to get to her. We still know nothing about her fath

When I came out of the bathroom, I found Blasé on the bed surrounded by three little bodies. I couldn’t help but smile, my heart swelled with love and contentment. I walked to what was now my side of the bed and looked down at the four most important people in my life. Blasé opened his eyes and smiled. “Marco brought them in, Rebel had a nightmare and wouldn’t go back to sleep.” Blasé pointed to the window and I looked over and saw that Marco, well his wolf, was asleep on a pillow and covered with a blanket. “River set it up for him, she didn’t want him to be cold.” He told me with a smile. I climbed into bed and rubbed Rebel’s head. When he felt my fingers in his hair he snuggled closer to me and let out a small sob. “Oh, my sweet boy, I’m so sorry.” I gently rocked him. “She will never touch or see you again.” I vowed to him as light snores came from him telling me he was finally asleep. “Blasé,” I called out, “we have to deal with Fred and Nancy, they’re causing too m

“Please explain what mating really means again.” I asked him. “Well, for wolves it means we have found our soul mate, the other half of our heart and soul, the missing piece. We usually find our mate when we turn sixteen, of course, if one is older than the other then we just wait or go to the family and explain and see if they can start building the bond by just spending time together and not revealing the truth.” He started. “Like Marco?” I smiled. “Yes. It’s usually discouraged but there are times when the older mate has no family, so they can decide to let them in.” He started to explain. “Like with River, she felt drawn to him and kept following him around and would throw fits when she couldn’t find him. Marco and Megan’s parents were killed when they were young and have lived with us since then. They had no other family, so mom and dad decided to take them in as their own. So, they’re my younger siblings.” He looked at me. “I understand. I like him, he’s very good

“Blasé, Alpha Tobias is here with his mate, son, and daughter.” My dad linked. “They also brought about a dozen of their warriors. I’m having Gordon and Marcy show them to the guest housing, your mom thinks it would be a good idea to have Tobias and his family stay here in the pack house.” “That’s fine dad. We will be down in few minutes.” He told his dad. “Blasé, who’s coming to dinner?” Storm asked. “Hopefully some people you will remember from your past.” She frowned at me. “As for as I know I have no family. Well, I have family but M…Nancy told me that after my real dad died his family threw us out and didn’t want anything to do with us.” “So, she never told you that you’re a werewolf.” She scrunched her nose. “No, I had no idea they…we existed. And that’s something I would’ve remember.” She squinted one eye and chuckled. “The only reason I found out was because Fred shifted in front of me.” She stuck her tongue out and gagged, that is an image she wants to forget.
