Curse of a Lycan Luna XXXVIII
Training review: It was not that horrible. At least, it wasn’t that horrible yet. After varying warm up exercises, it seemed to be mostly circuit training. Nothing I hadn’t done before. Maybe tomorrow would be different, but for now, I was thankful it was over. Isaac had abandoned me once we entered, and I soon discovered that was because he was leading training. Apparently, it was usually Kaleb’s job, and self led when they both were gone. I had stuck to myself the entire time, simply following instructions. “Folks!” Isaac called, just as I was attempting to sneak out the door before getting roped into an awkward conversation. “We’ll have one sparring match today. Noah and the runt.” I turned slowly. It seemed like the seas were parting, and all eyes were on me. I had picked up on all the attention I had gathered throughout training, as everyone was curious about the runt that had shown up. I wondered if they knew who I was, but given the tittering and snickering I heard from
Curse of a Lycan Luna XXXIX
I diverged from the lycans, heading to Isaac’s cottage while they made their way to the packhouse. Outside the door, I shifted and dashed up to my bedroom. I barely noticed Bram as I ran by, but he respectfully kept his eyes trained on his book. Blair, however, was a different story. She whistled at me, cocking one eyebrow. “What?” I snapped, glaring at her as I dug for clothes. “You’ve seen me naked before.” “I haven’t seen you naked and covered in hickies, though,” she laughed. I took half a second to glance at myself in the full length mirror on the door to the closet. “Training bruises.” Her sidelong glance told me all I needed to know: the witch didn’t buy that for a second. She placed her book down and stood, heading for the door. “I have to head to the packhouse with Bram. You’ll be fine here alone, right?” “What?” I demanded. “No, I’m coming!” “I promise, I’ll tell you everything if you just appease these guys this once,” she begged. I looked down at my shirts, decidi

All eyes were on Kaleb, his claim silencing us all. “What do you mean by that?” Blair asked cautiously. He sighed, scrubbing his hands across his face. “I don’t know prophecies, so I’m probably wrong. But, it started changing when Maise got involved in the mix. Prior to that, it was only Isaac that knew about it, and he was doing everything by the books and following procedure to keep the peace. It was Maise - or more specifically, the curse of the rogue - that changed the game.” Bram grunted. “You may have a point,” he conceded. “But that’s an ambiguous thing to base an entire strategy around.” “It’s more than anyone else came up with,” Isaac grumbled. “And it’s something that can be done now.” The tension rolling off everyone in the room was palpable. It was silent, but it seemed like just the smallest little spark would cause everything to combust. That spark, however, seemed to be when Isaac brushed a strand of hair out of my face and studied the way I worried my lower lip
Curse of a Lycan Luna XLI
Isaac POV The Princess had deemed her work was done, slipping out of the room while I still held everyone’s attention. I had quickly learned she would give just enough information to do damage, then wait to see if the way we rebuilt from the destruction that information caused was what she thought was correct. I should have known. The past eight years I had been focused on my Princess. Her past eight years had been focused on her people. She had a plan, and all she had done was make small suggestions to the right people to get that plan working for her. She held all the power here, because her desire for power had not been selfish. It was in this way lycans usually died. They began to think selfishly, devising how to use their near immortality for personal gain. I had been doing that, struggling to find a way to spend Maise’s forever with her. If I had read my history books correctly, I had a minimal amount of time to right that wrong before the moon decided my gift of being a l
Curse of a Lycan Luna XLII
His cold nose pressed against my back, breathing in deep against my first staking mark. I hadn’t been shocked when he found me, but he had surprised me when he begged entrance to my mind. No one had ever seen into the most inner workings of my thoughts, much less the emotions I always kept hidden. I granted it. I needed the support, to lean on someone else and let them carry me through my sea of turmoil. That wasn’t what he sought, though. He dragged me through everything I always focused so intently on, away from the traumas I clung to, and straight to my safe place, as if he knew that was where I needed to be. His own shock, seeing my truth, was enough to shock sense back into me, as well. With every ounce of power I had, I rebuilt my walls, protecting my secrets. It was too late. I knew he knew. My whole life, golden eyes had been my safety. The rare times I sunk deep into my thoughts, needing the quiet from the loud and overbearing war constantly raging in my mind, golden ey
Curse of a Lycan Luna XLIII
Winter was coming. It had held off for a long time, giving this area of the world false hope that we would jump right from fall to spring, but the crisp scent carried in the air and the bite of the ocean breeze reminded us we would not be so lucky. I had never seen a coastal Canadian winter, but I assumed it couldn’t be too different from New England. We had shifted once uncurled from each other, needing double furred coats to keep us warm when we lost each other’s body heat. Especially a little runt like myself did not run hot enough to ignore mother nature’s wintry tidings. The first snowflakes of the year clung to our coats, and it wasn’t just my lovestruck wolf that marveled at how the twinkly flakes sparkled like stars in contrast against the galactic darkness of Isaac’s fur. He looked back at me, barking out a wolfy chuckle. I smiled mentally, appreciating how so much could be said without breathing a word between the two of us. It was a form of familiarity I had not experie
Curse of a Lycan Luna XLIV
I wanted to pace anxiously, but I had a strong suspicion that would blow the cover of my fake sleep. I was still peeved with her, but I desperately wanted Blair to show up. She’d think she was the luckiest person on earth, getting two girly, gossipy conversations out of me in just as many days. Not for the first time, I wished Leah knew about us supernaturals. She would be the perfect person to dissect what Isaac meant, down to the tone, tense, and inflection. But, there was no way to fill her in on the drama without the ‘I’m a werewolf, he’s a lycan, and there’s a prophecy that keeps changing about us’ part. But, come to think of it, I wasn’t exactly certain how much her response would change. She would tell me to shoot my shot, fate be damned. As much as I hated fate, I was cautious to agree with that sentiment. Giving fate the middle finger made things go awry, as us supernaturals had just observed. Granted, I had gone on multiple tangents today about fucking fate and ignorin
Curse of a Lycan Luna XLV
Isaac POV I stormed down the steps to the basement, flinging insults at myself the entire way. I flung the door to the room I was looking for open, hoping it wouldn’t slam loudly enough for Maise to hear and decide to come investigate. “You all are cruel,” I growled to the room, making sure to take a moment to glare at each and every one of them. “I’m sorry,” Blair insisted, sounding truly apologetic. “This spell is fueled by desire, and it’s the only way we would get true, unfiltered desire out of her. She would be too nervous if she knew.” “Why not Rudi? Or just use me?” I argued. “Is twenty three years of pent up desire not enough?” Blair gave me a knowing glare. “You and Rudi are helping with the spell, first off. Second, a virgin’s desire is always best. Lastly, lust is strongest, and I should hope you haven’t been lusting after her for twenty three years, seeing as she is only twenty three years old.” Kaleb’s smug laughter echoed from across the room. “Besides, we a
