Lycans of Lunar Isle Chapter 47
Ophelia A simple freeing spell was all it would take to unlock the doors of the prison my mother had been thrust into. Matteo Romero, possessed by a demon, had trapped my mother within the pages of the journal, hoping it would break the chantment she'd placed on the island. Plot twist, it didn't. Unfortunately, I had to wait until the third quarter moon at the end of the month. It was a time for release and new beginnings. According to my mother, its energy would be needed to perform the spell. After skimming her instructions, I swallowed my nerves and scribbled out a hasty reply. ‘Does the name Atticus Morningstar mean anything to you? He’s my father, isn’t he? I know you’re the one that put the spell on the island. Is there any way you can undo it?’ I wasn’t sure why, but her reply came faster this time. Right before my eyes, my questions melted into the page, replaced by a neat, delicate script. ‘Yes, Atticus Morningstar is your father. Tread carefully, daughter. There is muc

OpheliaI was screaming, screaming at the top of my lungs but the sound refused to escape my lips. Instead it lived within my head, scraping and scratching against the walls of my skull.“You want to keep me.” I sounded dead, dead, dead.I couldn’t even feel his fingers as they brushed down my cheek and across my jaw. “I made a mistake doing what I did, but I had to ensure you’d help me. My father thought it best I eliminated any inkling of doubt.” He shook his head, “I can see this is upsetting you, but you can’t possibly think that Alpha and his sadistic brother would care for you the way I could.” He paused, “You do, don’t you? Do they have feelings for you?”“I don’t know.”Hunter nudged my chin, forcing me to look him in his eyes. “Tell me what you think, then. Be sure to tell the truth.”“I think,” I dragged my tongue over my dry lips, wincing when Hunter’s gaze tacked the motion. “I think they want me. I think sometimes they might feel something more, but they throw it away so

OpheliaI followed Ryker back to Lucille’s. As we entered, magic seeped from him, cloaking us in an iridescent sheen.His eyes flicked back to where I stood, dripping in the foyer.“If Lucille hears us, Kimberly will find out. She will take her anger out on you.”“She’s been doing it for years. I can handle it.”Pushing away his magic, I walked past him and headed up to my bedroom. He followed, of course. I could feel his presence hovering over my shoulder. His scent, dark chocolate and spice, left my head permanently swimming.“Do you have something I can wear?” he asked as the door clicked shut behind us.I snorted, “You do realize you’re like five times bigger than me, right?”“Yes, I’m aware.” His lips twitched. “You do realize I am a witch, yes?”How that mattered, I wasn’t sure. With a shrug, I walked over to my lopsided dresser and found an old t-shirt and a pair of oversized sweatpants. They were both several sizes too small.I tossed them at him, hoping to hit him in the head

Ryker“Get on your knees.”There was a fire in her eyes, a breathtaking fire that consumed me and left me utterly raw.Just as she had said, I needed to be worthy of her submission. It wasn’t until now, until that moment on the beach, that I realized I would never be worthy of someone like Ophelia.Someone pure, someone who saw the darkest parts of humanity and somehow found a way to remain kind and compassionate. Someone who, despite everything thrown at her, has remained strong.How could she have been rejected? It didn’t make a lick of sense. One look at this girl and I was crumbling. Whoever her mate had been, I prayed he never realized what he’d given up.Slowly, my mate—Goddess, my fucking mate—dropped to her knees before me.She peered up at me through those stunning eyes, past long lashes the same unique shade as her hair. Heat warmed her face, turning it pretty and pink.I was so hard it hurt.“I’ve never done this before.” She whispered, “Can you teach me?”I swallowed past

RykerI headed back to my place to wash Ophelia’s scent from my body before Jude—or worse, Kimberly—could pick up on it.The last thing I wanted to think about while in the shower, watching Ophelia’s touch swirl down the drain, was Kimberly.At the time, nothing mattered more than uncovering what happened to our parents and removing the spell placed on the island. For far too long we’ve been separated from the world, cut off and cast aside. Magic wasn’t meant to be contained to one set place.Now, if I could go back, I would’ve kicked Kimberly to the curb without a second thought.Jude walked into my office half an hour after I sat down at my desk.I held my hand up, my phone pressed against my ear, signaling for him to wait. Of course, the smart ass bowed and marched over to the wall. As he leaned against it he mouthed, “your majesty.”On the other end was one of my father’s numerous assistants. All his previous staff members worked for me now, but it was habit to call them his.My f

Ophelia The days passed quickly after that terrible, wonderful night. I awoke the next morning to find a class schedule, student ID, and stack of textbooks sitting outside my bedroom door. The thought of attending Eclipse University was harrowing, but at least this proved Ryker had planned it ahead of time. I might’ve been his mate—one he couldn’t claim—but that didn’t mean I needed his charity. Much to my horror, I also awoke to a text message from Alpha Hunter. It was short and to the point, which only served to make things worse. Hunt: Play all you want, just don’t forget who you belong to. My first day of evening classes and I was beginning to rethink my stance on not asking for help. I had coasted through an intro to occult studies class and had been floating through the halls on a cloud of naïve hopefulness. That was until I slammed head-first into Diana, who used her coercion magic to force me to dump out my bag of text books onto the floor. It was my luck that the one ti

OpheliaInside, I had my work cut out for me.After throwing two piles of laundry into the wash, I cleaned the lower half of the house. Throwing the sopping wet clothes into the dryer, I sat on the floor with my back against the wall and got started on some homework.By the time I finished, it was nine o’clock. I should’ve carried my ass to bed, but I wasn’t quite ready to end the day. It was rare I had time to myself, and I wanted to milk those moments for all they were worth.Swiping a bottle of whiskey from the kitchen, I headed up to my bedroom. I grabbed a joint and a pack of matches before veering towards the window above my bed. Having it fixed had been expensive, draining what little savings I had accumulated.Giving it a pointed glare, I shoved it open and climbed onto the roof.There was a flat perch large enough to recline on. Bundled beneath my threadbare blanket, I set my eyes on the sea of stars hanging in the sky. Staring at something so vast and limitless made my probl

OpheliaI awoke that morning to an empty bedroom and the chemical tang of the scent-blocker lodged up my nose.Searching deep within my chest, I winced as I felt the mate-bond between Ryker and I squirm. Sitting there beside it was the half-formed bond I held with Jude.I sighed, relief flowing throughout my tense limbs.It hadn’t snapped into place, after all.‘We can’t keep doing this back-and-forth thing with them. It’s getting too risky, and unless you want us to spend the rest of our lives being driven mad by excruciating pain, we need to take Alpha Hunter’s commands more seriously.’ My wolf snarled, spitting the words through her teeth like venom. ‘It’s only a matter of time before he asks about our relationship with Ryker. We’ll have no choice but to tell him the bond snapped into place on both sides.’I could feel her rage and knew the all-consuming force of it wasn’t directed towards me, or even the half-brothers we were mated to. All of it, every last drop, was meant for Alp
