BLUE MOON CRESCENT RISING- Book 2
A loud howl sounds and my eyes snapped open. I’m tensed as I take in my surroundings, the walls and the bed I’m lying on and the sheets that covers me. Scent so familiar. And I can't do anything but breath, in and out as the night before runs through my mind. A deep sigh leaves me. I wasn’t a dream. One hand slip from the cover to come rest on my chest my eyes closed. But I’m here, I’m fine. The door opens “You’re awake” A little surprised at who came in I look at the door then back to him, “Hi, good morning, were you standing on the other side of the door?” How did he know I was up. “Zayne made sure I kept an ear out, we’ve being worried” Noah closes the door behind him. Oh? “Where is he…?” I question slowly. “Taking care of a few things” Probably making sure the other acolytes don’t become a problem. Last night he had killed three accolyte guards, Isaac included. I don't know why I had felt so betrayed at what he did to me, he wasn't my friend, I didn't trus

*** It’s when I get to the lodge that I realize I’m barefoot and parts of my sweater are stained with blood from the night before, I don’t look at my room when I step inside, not the unmade bed or anything else, I don’t try to register what the faint unknown smell in the air could be. I just march to my small closet and pick up the first training attire I see, then I hurry to the bathroom. I don’t want to be here, I can't be here a second longer, my shower is fast, I towel dry my hair as best as I can then braid it back, still wet before shrugging on my clothes then I am out the door. I hear banging and laughter as I hurry down the stairs to the kitchen, I silently pray no one decides to come down right now, I drink a lot of water and snatch two fresh apples from the fruit basket. Turns out Sky has a big mouth because by the end of training, a couple of the guys came to ask me how I was feeling and if I really almost got kidnapped last night after hearing from him. I think t

From the looks of it, seems everyone heard about the attempt, a few people came to ask me how I was feeling and to come to see them if I need to talk the day after. Though from the looks I get from Tiana, she probably wished the attempt succeeded, I don’t even have the strength to be annoyed at Sky for letting the wolf out of the bag. I’m too fired up; besides, I shouldn't only be concerned about my discomfort. They deserve to know that someone slipped into the lodge while we all slept. I put as much effort into training as I can. Naya pitted me against two opponents so I can try to get a hang of fending off more than one opponent at a time. And they weren’t mincing punches. It was all claws and fangs. And just what I needed, we are bloody, spotting cuts and bruises by the time training was over. I fall straight into bed the moment I get back. *** I’m a prisoner in my own body, I can’t move, I can’t scream, I can hardly breathe, Isaac’s arm tightens around me as he carries me

Training is brutal in the morning, Naya and I go over some defense moves, and I’m still somewhat annoyed at her about the day before. If she notices she doesn’t show just keep our sparing session as normal. So I try to put it behind me.“You’re focused today, good,” Naya comments at the end of our session, like she didn’t rat me out to our alpha hence his visit last night. “No running today you guys, we continue tomorrow,” Colin announces with a clapped as he stands at the side watching.While a few others wonder and ask why, I’m just happy we don’t get to run today. After Zayne left last night, I slept for a while but woke up a few hours after, my heart pounding with the same nightmare. I bid Oliver bye as I hurry back to the lodge, opting for a shower, after rolling on the ground I certainly need one. Maybe I should eat first? I'm hungry as well, I think as I stroll into the kitchen contemplating only to jerk to a stop, blinking a few times. I yelped at the sight in front of me. Ke

I’m not one of those females that enjoys admiring themselves in front of a mirror, I tend to avoid mirrors actually, probably because I didn’t want to be greeted with the sight of what everyone saw when they look at me, what it represented.Even mom always put me in front of a mirror while she brushed my hair, I think she was just pleased the goddess choose her to birth her special chosen one.I wish I felt the same.I used to be on the curvier side, but now my body shows evidence of physical activities since I got here, in the weeks of my training, my muscles have gotten firmer, and my stomach which used to be soft is now flat from killer sit-ups, my thighs now toned from running.All in all, my form has never looked better.I… like it, I think with a smile as I turn from side to side to get a better look.While I would never have the sleek warrior physic like Naya or Jida or even that other female Mercy as I’m on the shorter side, this is nice too.Today, I’m wearing my special dress

*** The living room is empty when I walk past it, marching up the stairs to his office, excited by my idea, I knock once, then twice. When I don’t hear anything, a frown pulls at my lips. I clasped the knob, turn, and push the door open only to come up empty, where’d he go? I step inside, looking around, “Zayne?” I call out his name. When silence greets me, I roll my eyes in frustration, it’s not like he is invisible or something. Clearly, he's not here. Shit. Backing away, I hurry downstairs to the kitchen, Emma is holding a broom in the middle of tidying. “Hi, Emma” I greet “I’m sorry, do you know where Zayne might be? He’s not in his office” I indicated behind me using my thumb. She gives me a once over, a wide knowing smile appearing on her lips, her hair in its signature bun, a smooth wooden pin holding it in place. “I’m not sure, he could be in a meeting or just making rounds at this time” Shit. I clasp my hands together, “Is it okay if I waited here for him?” “

Stay the night. I thought about that, tossing from one side of my empty bed to the other until I slept off and when my nightmares dragged me from my sleep, I held his words like a blanket over my heart to chase away the bitter taste of fear. I’m still thinking about it as I walk through the trees in the morning, I wonder what would have happened had I stayed as he asked. “Something troubling you?” I turn to Rachel. We are on our way to our assigned spot south of the territory, when we came in for training this morning, Naya explained we will be moving to the next part of our training, so we were divided into pairs and assigned enforcers to shadow until we learned the ropes. For now, we would be cutting back on the physical aspect of our training and moving on to field experience. We still have to keep up with training though to keep our skills sharp. Micha and I are together with Sky, while Rachel and Matt are with Eli. But it’s close enough so we’re walking there together. Oliv

A gasp leaves my lips and I ach off the bed.I had felt his breath first, light my skin, his scent surrounds me, a hint of rain and amber, his weight presses against the bed, behind me? My back arched to feel more of him. Light fingertips trail down my arm and my side, it slips under the hem of my top. Heat spreads everywhere, from the points of his finger on the soft skin on my belly to my core, to my chest, between my legs, to my curled toes and my fingertips. Heat then the light pad of his fingers skim over my hips. My back arch and I roll over unto my back.Soft kisses trail down my front, down my belly and even lower. I tense all over in anticipation.Another soft barely there kiss is placed on the junction between my thighs, I sighed loudly. Where’d my clothes go? Do I care?No. No I do now.I tremble instead, begging. “Please…” the word a soft throaty cry as his tongue dance languidly between my legs. His hand smooths from my hip to my thigh as he holds me down to the bed,
