This was an emotional chapter to write. Hopefully you enjoyed it. Please leave a gem for the new Alpha! I would love to hear your comments as well. There are lots of new visual story enhancements posted on my socials, including the main characters as they are in my head. Thanks for reading! -A :) After the epilouges I will be adding the short story of Kendall and Mia, because in reality, we ended up with 2 Blood Moon Lunas at the ball that night. Also check out Alpha Baylor for a little lighter read while I work diligently on Gideon and Charity's stories.
Nikki POV After Frankie’s alpha ceremony things got busy but settled into a routine. I have spent most days with Luna Fran and our guards Emily and Maisey, getting things ready for my Luna ceremony. There was a lot of pack history that I needed to learn and with the studies came questions about various subjects. “Luna…” I started. “Fran or mom, Nikki. Honey you are Luna now, all that’s missing is the formality,” she softly scolded. It felt so wrong to call her Fran, but I haven’t fully wrapped my head around calling her mom. I took a deep breath, “Okay mom, this here says that if I don’t produce an heir for Frankie within the allotted time period, he has the right to reject me and choose a mate who can. Or he has the right to take a mistress for the same reason?” I questioned because that seemed like a terrible thing to do to someone. “That is an archaic law, honey. Nothing you have to worry about. Kieran changed that after Frankie was born so that no other woman would have to go t
Nikki POV With my Luna ceremony being tomorrow everything in the territory seems to be hustling and bustling. There are decorations everywhere and everyone is buzzing with excitement. I am trying my dress on one last time in case there needs to be any last minute alterations. “Nikki, please stand up straight and quit fidgeting,” Maisey chided. “Sorry Maisey, I am just nervous for tomorrow. I know I dreamed of becoming Frankie’s mate for a long time, but all the attention is on me tomorrow and wasn’t part of what I fantasized about’” I confessed. “Maybe you need to do something for stress relief. We could meet the twins at K&T for coffee or spar, maybe go for a run?” she offered, trying to distract me. “We could call Mia and see if she can drive over to join us. I don’t know if she has made a lot of friends over at Rip Claw yet. Why don’t you call her while I get changed?” I replied. After I dressed I grabbed my purse and keys, so we could drive over to K&T. “I can’t believe Frankie
Nikki POV Today is the day I officially become the Luna of the Cold Moon Pack and I am not sure how I feel about that. I love the things that lunas do for their pack, it’s the pomp and circumstance of this evening that makes me uneasy. All I have wanted since I found an interest in boys was Franklin Knight Conway, who is now the Alpha of our pack. So being his fated mate, I am the rightful Luna. To say that we went through hell to get to this day, would be accurate and maybe even a little understated. We survived multiple rogue attacks, three months of a long distance relationship, an alliance agreement that was meant to tear us apart, the death of my mom, and two attempts on my life. Through it all we discovered the truth about the past, brought down a smuggler/human trafficker, gained new friends, true alliances, and most of all each other. If you had told me the events that would unfold after my friends and I snuck up the blood moon hillside in May, the only thing I would chang
Six years later It’s been a busy six years since Frankie and I became the Alpha and Luna of the Cold Moon pack. There has only been one minor rogue attack and thanks to my brothers and their coven’s quick action, it was over before it got started. Yes, we actually have a coven of eight here on Cold Moon territory. They are the ultimate night patrol, but I will let Gideon tell you all about that when he tells his story. Alpha Kieran and Luna Fran a.k.a dad and mom are living in Montana half of the year and here on the territory the other half of the year. Alpha Kieran was offered a position with the council so when council is in session, they have to be in Montana for that. They prefer being home though where they served for 27 years. When they chose to be here only part-time, Frankie and I made the decision to move into the Alpha Mansion and turn our house into a guest house. Maisey’s parents stay there when they visit, as do other visiting ranked wolves. We didn’t host a blood m
Six Years Later his POVI don’t care how many times I have had to do this, I still detest meetings of any sort. Alpha Kendall along with his Beta and Gamma (you’ll meet them in his story) Tatum, Marcus and I are meeting with architects, builders, and the port authority to update the shipping docks. Our business is thriving and with growth we need to update and streamline for efficiency.After the battle and reorganizing his pack, Kendall came to me to say that the human authorities would not allow him to continue to operate Rip Claw Corporation. It was because he was the direct descendant of a known criminal. I knew that would put his pack in financial jeopardy to be without its main source of income. We were allies now and I couldn’t sit back and watch them suffer for something that Hollis had done.So I came up with a proposal that Cold Moon Incorporated would purchase the docks and that Kendall and I would share profits at a 70/30 split for 5 years, so that Cold Moon would recover
15 years later “Mom, David won’t let me hang out with him and Jerome!” Star screeched from the bottom of the staircase. This girl was going to be the death of me, you know that saying ‘May your coffee be stronger than your daughter’s attitude’? Well even I couldn’t stand coffee that strong. My daughter, Star Annie Conway, is 12 and feels the need to be everywhere her brother and his friends are. “Star honey, don’t yell in the house. I am sure your brother has a good reason for wanting to spend time with his friends, without his baby sister tagging along,” I replied as I started down the steps. “No he doesn’t, he’s just being a dick about it,” she replied. “ I sighed, she may be mine but her mouth and her temperament are all her Auntie Charity. “Star, what have I told you about talking that way?” I scolded as I reached the bottom of the stairs. “Sorry mom. I just like hanging out with David and his friends, and they were just going to K&T for macchiatos, it isn’t like I don’t go ther
Eight Years Later Nikki and I have served this pack for 29 years and time has been good to us all. I can’t say that I would ever wish to have a rogue attack, but the one on the night of the blood moon all those years ago pointed me straight into the arms of my Little Bee. We went through hell and back to be together but I believe that made us stronger. Nikki has truly been the love of my life, the perfect mother to our pups, and exactly the type of Luna I had hoped for. Tonight we are throwing one last blood moon ball and then tomorrow, I will be passing the torch to David as he has found his Luna. He met Sinead during the last blood moon when he was traveling abroad on business for Carolina Phoenix Corporation. David had actually been considering taking a chosen mate because he hadn’t found her in the three years since he’s had his wolf and would be able to scent her on the blood moon. She’s a lovely girl who he calls his Lucky Charm, as he met her in the pub where she worked and
MIA POV My name is Mia Rose Delgato. I am an Alpha Female shifter and I am 20 which means I have the opportunity to find my mate. Since I have been looking for two years, I am confident they are not in my own pack. I am the daughter of Alpha Isha and Luna Hope Delgato of the Desert Moon pack in Nevada and what they refer to as the pack princess. My Fraternal twin brother Eli will be the next Alpha of our pack and he uses that fact to taunt me. Eli and I argue often and are always competitive. Recently a new friend of ours, Nikki helped us with our sibling rivalry by having us spar against one another. It has helped our relationship immensely and he doesn’t tease as badly as he once did. Because of Nikki, people don’t always just automatically side with Eli anymore either. That itself is liberating. There is a blood moon in just two days' time and I am excited at the prospect of finding my mate, even if we are traveling to the other side of the country for the ball, I am hopeful tha
