Chapter 44 - It's time to go
Zelena.
“Come and see them off, they’ll want to see you” Dad said before disappearing back through the door.
Gunner took my arms from around his neck and kissed my hand before leading me out onto the porch. The village looked empty, I could see men and wolves gathered at the tree line towards the edge of the clearing. A few more people were headed to the front of the house, but there were no happy voices or laughter. No sounds of kids playing, or the smell of food cooking. Nothing.
Gunner and I headed around to the driveway while the others went back to their preparations. The first bus was already loaded and ready to go, the second was still putting bags in the storage hold. Roe was standing with two men, assisting them with the bags. A lot of men were standing waving up to the busses, both older and younger men, fathers and their sons, I guess. A few strong looking women were

Gunner. “No, we need to spread them out more, here” Cole said pointing to a section of the forest on the map that was splayed out on the table. “We already have two battalions in this area, they can cover that ground as well” I replied. “Yes, but now we have the extra wolves to utilise and that forest area is thick, they could use the additional eyes” Cole rebutted. Cole has taken to his new official role as Beta wolf with ease. We always knew that he’d become the Beta at my ascension, but doing the job and training for the job are two different things. I trust him one hundred percent and that’s why I’m letting him argue his point, even if the Alpha’s word is final. “Okay, I hear you. Place another ten there and there, others here and here” I agreed as I pointed at parts of our borders on the map. “Son” I heard dad’s voice from the door behind me. I spun around to see him and nodded for him to continue. “The Bl

Gunner. “We have this section of forest secure, the tree cover will give our fighters a boost. We have blocked any through path here and here. This section of the forest was near on inaccessible, we have downed a few trees to make sure that nothing can get through”. Rex my eldest commander was pointing out the parts of the forest on the map as he spoke. He’s a great Were, strong and capable. It will be a hard hit to the pack the day that he retires. “I have traps set here and here for any incoming vehicles. More traps are set along this section of the border. The exterior of the pack house is secure and the village has been rigged here, here, here and here” Felix pointed out the cabins in the village and the other parts of the pack land. He has done very well in the limited amount of time he had. I like his initiative, his work ethic and his focus. He is a high contender for the top commander position after Rex. “I want Zelena to stay in the

Gunner.“They’re here, I saw them. They'll be at the borders any minute” Zelena rushed out. She flashed me pictures, I saw the hunters converging on the borders and an aerial view of forest around our village and the coast in the distance. She had another Drakos vision. Excellent. They were definitely closer than we predicted, they had to be only minutes away from the borders now.*Cole report**They are at the edge southern border, heavy weapons and high numbers of soldiers**How close?**Two minutes maybe less*An explosion, a loud bang and the sound of bursting tyres brought me out of my flash with Cole. They’ve hit the traps at the end of the driveway.“The spikes. They’re at the end of the driveway. Cole reported them approaching the southern border” I said turning to m

Gunner.This is bad, Zelena needs help. I went to run for the house but the pain in my shoulder slowed me. Damn fucking bullet. I snapped my head back and changed back into my human form. I looked down at my bloodied shoulder. The skin was torn open and peeled back by seared flesh. It was dark red and still bleeding. It’ll be fine, worry about it later. I held my arm in place across my chest. The same large grey wolf came up beside me and held out its hind leg. He growled and huffed, nodding his head to the leg. I hadn’t noticed before but there were a pair of shorts tied to his ankle. Smart idea, I’ll have to remember that. I grabbed the shorts and pulled them on with one hand. We ran for the pack house side by side and I kept pace with this wolf no problem. As we neared the tree line, the ringing of gunfire at the house was indisputable.We burst through the trees and I could clearly

Zelena.After cutting the power to the pack house at the switch box, the village was now dark. A small glow from the direction of the driveway, told me that the loud bang I heard a few minutes ago was an explosion. I stood in the clearing that Gunner had marked out for me. Tobias stood next to me in his wolf form. Four of his fighters were surrounding us, also in their wolf form. I feel like I should change as well, but I haven’t used my power as a wolf yet. I don’t even know if I can. My best bet is to stay as human.A startled yelp escaped my lips when gunfire rang out around us. Shit, here we go. Tobias nudged his head against my shoulder.*I got you little one*I looked up at him wide eyed. He flashed me, how did he flash me.*We can flash?**I assumed as much, being your guardian and all that, we have to be able to communicate*

Zelena.I am going to rip this piece of shit hunter to pieces. I threw forward my arm sending another hunter flying through the air. Tobias growled and snapped at the hunters, the heated fury coming from his body was only increasing my own anger. I was about to go for another hunter went I felt a presence in the clearing. A blur of dark grey fur ran into view and headed toward the fighters. Tobias’s head lifted and turned to the wolf and his ears pricked up, he knows this wolf. The wolf lunged onto a hunter and ripped his head clean off before grabbing hold of the next one. A muffled sound echoed over the humming gunfire and I searched for its source. My eyes landed on a sight that filled me pride and lust.Gunner’s knees wrapped around the hunter's head as he gracefully threw his body through the air, landing in a crouching position. My eyes snapped to the hunter in front of him, pointing his gun at Gunners face. I felt my skin burst into
The Moon's Descendant Epilogue
Gunner It’s been three months now since the battle. Three months of helplessness and pain. Everyone is telling me to keep pushing on and to throw my all into leading the pack. But it’s hard, and it’s getting harder each day. Cole has been great with the pack, helping where he can. I appreciate everything he is doing but it’s just not right. I thought that I would have Zee beside me, helping me. I thought we were going to do this together. We lost thirty-six wolves in total. Two from Blue Moon and one from Crescent Wolf. A group service was arranged to bury our dead and a huge black marble boulder was brought in to hold a memorial placard. Mum and some other she-wolves arrange a garden area and small benches to surround the boulder, making a nice area to sit and mourn. I haven’t had the strength to go there yet, but I can see it through the trees from my office window. I find myself often staring at it mindlessly. Alpha Titus of Crescent Wolf
The Moon's Descendant Chapter 1 - Zelena
Zelena.I lifted my head slightly as the cool breeze brushed against my neck. My long raven hair waved gently with the breeze. It was a glorious morning, the air was still fresh and there isn’t a cloud in the sky. The sun felt warm on my face as it struggled to shine through the trees. There is something about being outside alone that I have always loved. Most people around here are afraid of the forest and they don’t go near it, me on the other hand, I love the forest. The sound of the wind in the trees, the feel of fresh air on my skin and the faint smell of salt water. It makes me feel, I don’t know, free, I guess. I relish the time I get to spend outdoors, however short it is.I live in a little fishing town in the far north of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, population of around two thousand people. The towns inhabitants are spread roughly twenty kilometres along the coast, there
