Blood and Moon 52 Limitations
Desiree Adam and I returned to our quarters after questioning the witches. The moment we entered the bedroom, I went straight to bed. Adam followed me. I was beginning to realise the magnitude of the task ahead, and I wondered why such a heavy burden would be laid on me. I was young. Adam and I were just starting our lives. How could we have pups when we had an ongoing war? To think I had saved up money to leave my country. I wouldn't have lasted out there. My mother did me a great service by allowing Rob to sign me up for work at the bloods packhouse. I honestly wish I was more understanding and kinder to her. I had a lot of things that I wish I could take back. With all the magic at my disposal, time was still my master because I couldn't manipulate it, and I was subject to it. Deep in my heart, I hoped my mother was with my father, and they had the happily ever after they were deprived of. As much as I wanted to hate Dean, he was only trying to survive. His actions are unforgivabl
Blood and Moon 53 Closet and Things
Desiree Realising my limitations hit me like a wall, and I became worried. Adam held me tight and whispered in my ear. "A step at a time, love. A step at a time," he whispered, trying to calm me down. I turned around and kissed him deeply because my panic metre was high; I needed him to calm down. He returned the kiss, knowing I needed it at that moment and squeezed me tighter. The kiss wasn't enough. I wanted more. So we looked around and opted to use one of the storage rooms in the hall. We snuck there, making sure no one was watching. The people were eating and answering questions, so no one paid attention to us as we slipped into a room. My skirt was mid-length, so I pulled it up, and Adam ripped my panties because he didn't have the patience to take them off. He unbuckled and lifted me. I wrapped my legs around him, and he buried himself inside me and began to pump. The truth was, we both needed it. By soothing the ache I felt, he also gave me peace and kept my troubles at ba
Blood and Moon 54 Envoy From Stadia
Desiree Dean had the same concerns as Adam, and I did. He excused us, and we went into the room. We found a handsome, brawny-looking young man about Adam's age waiting for us. The instant we entered, he stood up out of respect, and Adam nodded at him to sit. We sat on a chair opposite him. A table was between us. The man had been served juice, and he seemed to be savouring the refreshing taste. It was obvious he hadn't had good food in a while. "Who are you, and to what do we owe this visit?" Adam asked, and the man took a sip of his juice and smiled at Adam respectfully. "My name is Zacharia Ashbreed. I am the grand wizard and son of the high priestess of the Wind and Earth coven of Stadia," he said with pride, and we remained silent. "My sister Malina Ashbreed was sent to scout for good land so we could relocate. She found your place and sent word about the moon country being safe. My mother sent me to dialogue with your people to give us a part of your land to settle in. I did n
Blood and Moon 55 Meeting
Adam After meeting Zacharia Ashbreed, the egotistical bastard, I was exhausted. We had fought a great battle, and I was yet to address my council. I asked Desiree to go about her business while Kyle and I gathered everyone to speak. They were all occupied, but we needed to meet. Meanwhile, I ordered the release of the witches, and they were to be escorted out of the country. The former Beta was asked to oversee the task, which he was delighted to do. My father's council were not old, most of them were yet to turn fifty. It is just that it was a tradition that you hand over to your successor once your successor is twenty-one. Kyle and I headed towards the conference hall where the remaining council members were. We were four altogether. "I envy what you have with Desiree," Kyle said to me as we walked towards the conference hall. "Where did that come from?" I asked him, surprised, and he bowed his head. I could tell he was hurting, and I did not know my friend was going through so m
Blood and Moon 56 Shirtless and Ready
Desiree Adam entered our apartment shirtless. They had just brought dinner, so he was on time. I had opted to wait for him, and so did the food taster, Kalvin Wallberg, whom I had begged we no longer needed his service but insisted to continue tasting our food, had already eaten a fair share of the meal in the name of tasting. Tim couldn't stand the guy, and I couldn't blame him. He felt the guy had taken his job, but how could he when Tim had somehow become my assistant, a job that would have been Janets if she was loyal, but when the world was against me, it was Tim that stood by me, and I could never forget it. "Haven't eaten yet?" Adam asked me with a smile. He looked hot and sexy shirtless, and I wanted to have him for dinner instead, but my growling stomach was in disagreement, it wanted food, and food it shall have. Adam rushed through his meal, which indicated he wanted some alone time, so I had to rush through my food too and have them clear out. The moment they were gone,
Blood and Moon 57 Some Revelations
Desiree Adam called for the meeting the next day. The pack was still trying to integrate the new wolves. To make the meeting possible, Adam delegated overseeing the integration to Margret and Bianca, who no longer went by the name 'mistress', anymore. We headed to the conference hall immediately after breakfast. Everyone was there, including King Kingston, who still maintained the title even though he had no power. Adam obliged him and allowed him to keep it along with the affluence that came with it, I guess that was part of the deal, but looking at him, I believe the whole Monarchy feel was Dean trying to fill a void in his soul. Alfred Green was there, Dean's beta, The Gamma Kaylan was there who I suspect was Donovan's father and Nickson's father, who was the Delta. Beta Kyle was there, Gamma Donavan and Delta Nickson were there too. Adam and I completed the attendance for the meeting. We all sat down, and I noticed Dean smiling at me. Which was a bit off. The man was damn too cr
Blood and Moon 58 Truths and Decisions
Adam My father asked that question with so much distrust that I knew his answer would be no. I did not know that my father had this wealth of information. If Desiree had not advised that I call this meeting, we wouldn't have known, and they would have taken this truth to their grave. Cowardice was frowned upon by packs, and my father would have lost all respect among wolves if they had allowed people to know they ran with their tails between their legs. They had an option, to keep their honour and die or lose it and come home to their loved ones. They promised to come home. There was courage in their cowardice, and weak as it seemed, they had chosen to live so they could fight another day, because of that decision, we had information to work with. I looked at my father with respect so he would know I was proud of him, and I would have done the same to come home to Desiree. "They requested for a portion of our land to settle on," I said, and my father shook his head. "Witches cannot
Blood and Moon 59 How Many More
Desiree The meeting was exhausting, and Adam and I chose to spend the rest of the day in our quarters. I read a book while he attended to the documents. Margret and Bianca came to report the outcome of their task to Adam, but he told me to handle it. "Good afternoon Luna," Margret said with the utmost respect, and I waited for Bianca to greet me too. I remembered how the woman had treated me, and how mean she was to me. She told me never to look her in the eyes. I wondered how stupid she felt right now. " You can't greet?" I finally asked her, and she quickly curtsied and greeted me. I could feel her shame, but the deed was done, and she could take none of it back. Adam came out of the bedroom to see them. "Margaret, Bianca," he said, and they greeted him. "I need to check on something," he said and kissed me on the cheek before leaving the apartment. He seemed a bit worried, but I decided not to ask him. "So tell me," I instructed the women and offered them seats. "Alpha said
