All Chapters of Blood Moon: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I shake my head. “I am not.”He laughs darkly. “You didn’t even know. Werewolf blood…” Poison travels in his veins, making him look like dark rivers on his pale skin. He writhes in pain.I put my hands on my stomach. Frank and I only had sex not that long ago. Could I be pregnant? Is the vampire right? This can’t be real, but it could be. Armond’s gaze moves from his own decaying form to my stomach. A cruel smile coats his lips. “Your spawn is gone just like me.”No! This can’t be happening! A life is to begin, not end…not like this! Tears stream down my face as I glare at the vampire. This is all his fault! All of it! For what? Power! He crumples to the ground in a heap. I won’t look away. I want to watch him suffer. I want to watch him pay for the innocent lives he has ever taken. I hear heavy footsteps pounding through the forest. Frank emerges from dense brush. His eyes are still glowing with feral rage. “She is mine!”Frank doesn’t allow the vampire to utter a word or notice hi

“The knock at the door.” “It’s not me.” Just fucking great. What now? “It might be the manager. I will go look.” I open the door, expecting to see a maid or the manager. But instead, a young woman stands in the doorway. I recognize her instantly. She was the she-wolf who wasn’t happy that Frank made his mark permanent. I wonder if I should tell him that he has a pup out of line. I might still be sore, but I just lost my unborn child and nothing she can say to me could hurt me as much as that did.  Her smile is forced, stiff, and unnatural. That lets me know all that I need to. “My name is Scarlet. Can we talk?” I inwardly roll my eyes. Her tone is rehe

I look at Frank and nod. “She will go if I take her. She was not to be disturbed while she was healing. Perhaps, I need to teach you all a lesson in obeying your ALPHA.”“Frank, if we need to go to the funeral, we can. I am healed mostly, and those pancakes did the trick, too.” I smile as I put my hand on his bicep. “I think I should at least honor the fallen somehow. If I can’t go, let me write something to be said. I know words can’t bring them back, but maybe they can help heal.”He looks at Scarlet. “You shouldn’t be here, and you have no right to speak to my Luna alone either.”Scarlet swallows hard. “I know. I am here because the Elders think she should attend, but with permission of the alpha, of course.”I link to Frank. ‘Something doesn’t add up. Are the Elders trying to keep us apart?’He responds. ‘I don’t know. They are supposed to think only for the good of the pack and give advice, not issue commands.’I tease. ‘It’s a good thing that commands don’t work on me then.’‘Pl

True to his word, two wolves picked me up and too me to the farewell ceremony. I could feel the tension and sadness before I even stepped out of the car. The scent of smoke and earth filled the air. A heavy silence hung over the site like a shroud. I did the best I could with what I was wearing, but I feel out of place. Compared to how elegantly tasteful everyone is dressed, I feel like a stain on something sacred. Maybe I shouldn’t have come. This isn' t a human funeral or wake, and my appearance isn’t welcomed and I don’t look the part either. I know that my attire and the fact that I showed up at all is why everyone is staring at me.No one says anything, but their eyes speak volumes. They rake over me examining every flaw as they radiate disdain. They aren’t so different from the vampires no matter how much they claim to be. They pass judgement based on superficial mean just as the vampires do. If you aren’t one of them, you are worthless. That view will lead to their extinction j

He scoffs. “You came all this way not knowing about the ritual that awaits you?”“I came to bid the fallen farewell. After all, a funeral is about honoring the dead. So unless the ritual is something to honor them, it should wait. Shouldn’t it?” This guy is so disrespectful. He has to be the one who claims to have visions. “Then perhaps you aren’t ready and Frank hasn’t explained it,” he says. He doesn’t respect Frank. His tone is clear in that instance. He thinks he runs the pack. I feel sorry for Frank. He needs to overhaul this pack or give it up entirely. I have yet to find anyone who is genuine besides Frank. I just look at the Elder. He says, “You must spend the night in the forest. ALONE.”I internally laugh. Chances are, lately I have spent more time in the forest than him. I also guarantee he didn’t outrun vampires or fight them in the woods either. He continues in an effort to intimidate me. “It will end when Frank finds you. Your wolf can help, of course.” This guy needs a
