Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 47
BowdenThe moment I step into the hallway of the guards’ quarters, I know the cat’s out of the bag, and we’re not stuffing that mangy feline back in there. The hall is crawling with curious Lycans while Elias is standing in his room letting out soft little mewls of terror.The empty sarcophagus lies on the floor, Jaeger is missing, and Julius is standing on the bed, rising up like a ghost no one wants to see.“Kaiya,” I mind link with my mate on pure instinct alone. “Are you still awake?”“Kinda. What’s wrong?”“I need you to come down to Elias’s room. We have…a situation.”“What kind of situation?”“Ehhhh.” I stare up at the risen figure. The corpse’s head is still covered with the sheet, but he’s standing on the bed and blindly reaching out with his shrivelled, mottled black-grey arms. “I’m not quite sure how to explain this. Just come down, and…prepare yourself.”“Whu- Whu?” Elias whimpers behind me.I’d tell someone to get him out of here, but everyone’s having a pretty similar re
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 48
Kaiya Bowden charges into the apartment, slamming the door shut behind him with such impressive force that dust and bits of plaster rain down on the floor He spares a single glance my way utters a single word, "Fuck," and storms past me to the bedroom.Frowning, I switch off the television and follow him to his room, reaching him just in time to hear him be violently sick. I knock on the door and ask him the same question he asked me last night. "Are you all right?"“Yes. Don't come in here.”“You realise I've cleaned all manner of bodily fluids in my time, right? A little vomit isn't going to bother me.”“Kaiya, for the love of the Goddess, now is not the time.” "Let me help-" "Oh, Goddess," he says and throws up again. "Okay," I say. "If me helping hurts so much you throw up, I'll leave you alone."A moment later, he flushes the toilet, and I hear him brush his teeth. Another minute goes by before he exits the bathroom and just stares at me.His eyes that are usually so calm are
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 49
Kaiya I’d been to Junction City only once in my life. I had just escaped from Moon Dance and stumbled upon the city. It bordered on our territory, and looking back now, it wasn't surprising that I found my way to Junction. I didn't know that it was a werewolf city, and the sheer amount of people lulled me into a false sense of security. My wolf senses weren't developed yet, and I didn't even realise that I walked past wolves every minute of the day. Even so, it took me all of two days to realise that the majority of the city’s inhabitants were werewolves. On my second day, I ran into the first werewolf that openly admitted to me what he was. He was just an Omega like most wolves. He lived on the streets, like me, but he was nice, asked me about myself, he even shared his meal with me. That was the day I learned that when you’re a rogue, you never trusted anyone – not even friendly Omegas. As it turned out, that friendly Omega were looking for a quick buck by handing me over to Orio
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 50
Bowden “Please!” the Omega begs. “Alpha Orion ordered me to do it. I had no other choice.” “What’s your name?” “Armin.” “All right, Armin. Why did Alpha Orion order you to poison me?” “Not you. The queen. I'm just an Omega, he doesn't tell me shit.” Frowning, I return to the food trolley and lift the other plate’s dome. This food smells clean, uncorrupted. “Why were you so sure the queen would eat the poisoned food?” “I was going to serve it to her myself?” "Okay," I decide to switch gears. It was stupid asking him why Orion wants Kaiya dead anyway - I wouldn't trust the Omega werewolves in my castle with that kind of information either. “Tell me why you burning down the city?” The Omegas wild eyes flit around the room. “He listens,” the Omega whispers. “I know that,” I say and lift up one of several black boxes set up around the suite. “That’s why we use these.” “What are those?” Kaiya asks. “Audio jammers. It interferes with the listening devices.” “Oh,” she looks at th
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 51
BowdenTonight, more than any night in so long I can barely remember the last time this happened, I crave intimacy with my mate. The three mates before Kaiya existed purely for Knox’s wellbeing, and it never progressed as far as sex with any of them.Since Nolene died, I only had a few partners. I never humiliated my mates by taking mistresses. In between mates, I’d find myself women if I needed them. They warmed my bed, and in return, they received special treatment. I made sure they understood our arrangment, and they all accepted it.But it was never the same as being with your mate. It was always empty, meaningless, and after a while joyless. Most of the time, it was just easier to masturbate, but without a mate, my nights could become cold and lonely, which was when I’d go in search of a mistress until Knox started to pine for a mate again.“What is it?” Kaiya asks and contorts her body in a strange knot so she can look me in the eyes.Instead of answering her, I smile and grip h
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 52
Kaiya Bowden wakes me with a soft kiss. I smile before I open my eyes, remembering with a bang that I fell asleep while naked and that I'm on full display with my legs wide open. I blush and grab for the sheat, trying to cover myself. My mate chuckles and grabs my hand. “You do realise I’ve been looking at you the whole night, right?” he asks. With my face on fire, I fold the sheet around myself regardless. “That doesn't mean you can look now.” "Yes dear," he jokes and turns his back on me. "Go wash and get dressed. We leave in fifteen minutes.” I don’t really feel like it. All I want to do is stay here, in this room, alone with my mate. When everyone left, when it was just the two of us, I felt so safe and protected. It felt as if I finally found my home. “You don’t have to come if you don’t want to.” He looks over his shoulder and smiles at me. “Orion would probably prefer it that way too.” “Am I not an Alpha and his equal?” “No, you are not his equal.” I open my mouth to prot
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 53
Bowden Kaiya sits at the table, looking out over the city while I talk to Trevor on the phone. My mate is not in a good place. Confronting Orion did not exactly go as planned, and she's beyond devastated. Her emotions are racing like a runaway train, and every so often, she wipes a tear away. “Have the Alphas left?” I ask my assistant. “Yes, King, for the most part.” I am exhausted and not looking forward to the drive back to the castle with our prisoners. I don't want to talk to the Lycans about what happened here and why. I don't want to tell them about our dead but not dead mates in the catacombs. It's too much. All of it. I need a fucking break. “Who is left?” I ask. “Claxton and Nero won’t leave until they’ve spoken to the queen.” “Why not?” “They want to hear from her own mouth that she’s giving up her claim to Moon Dance.” I sigh and sink to the couch. After what happened last night, I'm confident Kaiya would just as soon burn that entire place to the ground and wipe he
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 54
Bowden Kaiya curls up on my lap like a cat as Elowen softly starts to purr, calling out to me. Knox surges to the surface, so eager to comfort his mate. Our wolves don’t understand Kaiya’s very big and complicated human emotions - all they know is that she’s upset…and both of them expect me to fix it. After hundreds upon hundreds of years on this planet, I thought I’d seen and experienced every Goddess-awful thing this world had to offer, but I was wrong. Likewise, after seven mates, three of which I loved fiercely, I thought I knew everything about being a good mate. I was wrong. None had ever broken my heart in the way Kaiya breaks my heart. None had ever been as complicated as she is. Of course, none of them were the daughters of Deimos fucking Cole. And, I realise with a shock, I’d never loved any of them more than I love her. I will burn this world to the ground to keep her safe and happy. I will skin Orion alive and feed his remains to the dogs if that’s what she asked of me
