Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 57
KaiyaThe guard smiles at me and momentarily drops his stern demeanour. He dusts imaginary dirty off my shoulders, then grabs them between his massive paws and straightens my back. “Take charge. Tell them that Clara…Shannon is ready to go. Ask them if they need anything. End the meeting as quickly as possible and send them on their way. Offer an escort to the werewolf hotel in town.”“They won’t stay here?” I ask.“Castle’s full. You and the king brought back too many strays,” the guard says with a little chuckle.I take a deep breath in and slowly let it out when I open my office door with Oswald right behind me. Two minutes later, the emissaries arrive. Two Omegas and the pack’s new Gamma who looks like he’s not a day over nineteen.They’re a surly looking bunch, a little on the dirty and smelly side, but clean for wolves that live mostly outdoors and only seek shelter when the elements force them into it.The she-wolf resembles Clara, but her face is hard and she looks much older t
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 58
BowdenI slowly come wake from a dead sleep, the sun streaming in through my window stinging my eyes and forcing me to let go of my dreams.Blinking rapidly, I groan and roll over to the other side of the bed to check my phone. The alarm that I’ve never needed went off, but I killed it and went straight back to sleep. It’s already well past eight, and we have the meeting with the two Alphas at nine. “Shit,” I mutter and start to get out of bed.“Kaiya?” I mind link with my mate.“Yeah.”“Are you awake?”“Dressed and everything.”I laugh softly. “We have a meeting in forty-five minutes. Meet me at your door in thirty.”I rush to my bathroom, showering in record time. Today, I don’t bother with my usual suit. I hurriedly dress in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and haphazardly pull a comb through my wet hair before I dash from my apartment to fetch Kaiya.After the meeting with Claxton and Nero, I plan to do absolutely diddly until I have to talk to the Lycans tonight.Kaiya is outside w
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 59
Bowden Kaiya still looks doubtful. Her trust has been shaken one time too many these last two weeks, and I’m convinced she thinks I have some kind of ulterior motive for bringing her here. I do, but it's not what she thinks it is. Instead on thinking about it too much, I busy myself with the food, pretending I can’t feel her mistrust and doubt. At long last, she decides to take a seat on the blanket. The tight dress isn’t exactly designed for sitting on the ground, and she awkwardly half sits, half lies on her side. “Take off your dress,” I say. “Why?” she asks. “You’ll be more comfortable.” I look up, right into her stormy, grey eyes. “You are wearing underwear, right?” “Of course,” she says, scandalised by my insinuation. “Sexy underwear?” I ask. “No.” I laugh and take the bottles of juice and wine from the basket. “I’m teasing. I’ve seen your underwear. I know nuns with sexier undergarments than yours.” “Now you have a problem with my-” Before she can even finish speakin
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 60
Kaiya I feel exposed out in the open like this, and I have to keep reminding myself that we’re alone here in Bowden’s little haven. It doesn't work. The man just banged my brains out. He has seen me naked a few times now, and still I'm embarrassed to be naked in front of him. I try to make sense of it, but can't. All I know is that I'm naked, exposed, vulnerable, and I don't like it. For his part, my mate is completely unperturbed by his nudity. He’s strutting around like a proud rooster. That part is not too strange to me. I’d seen other Alpha males do the exact same thing. What I do find strange and a little disconcerting, is that I’ve never seen Bowden do it. Aware of my discomfort, he throws his t-shirt at me before he goes down to the pond to wash his hands, then returns to unpack the rest of the picnic. “I didn’t actually plan for it to happen this fast,” he says and gives me a sheepish grin. “I figured we’d have a little food, some wine...relax a little, you know.” For the

KaiyaI want to die of embarrassment. The first time I dare to touch my mate in any sexual kind of way, and I fuck it up. “You must hate this,” I say as I position myself on the ledge.Bowden is completely unperturbed. “No, not really. I kind of like it." He scrunches up his nose and leans over to give me a quick peck. "I look forward to corrupting you.”He sits back, takes my hand and brings it to his thick erection. My fingers don’t even go all the way around, and I’m suddenly too shy to ask him if my inability to take him in hand properly give him any kind of pleasure.He wraps his much bigger hand around mine. “Firm, even movements. Stroking. Not too hard or rough, unless I ask for it. Don't shake and jerk my cock. It's not a ketchup bottle.”I almost start laughing, but I'm way too nervous and foscused on the task at hand. For a good five minutes, he shows me how to do it, then he just lets me go and leans back, bracing himself on the ground with both hands. He has his head throw
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 62
BowdenWhen I return to my apartment, I expected to find Kaiya in my bed, but instead, she's fast asleep on the couch, dressed in the new shorty pyjamas I like so much.The meeting with the Lycans went about as well as could be expected. Finding out that the mates they loved so much were waking up, mummified and probably aware of what’s happening to them, enraged the wolves.Learning about Orion angered them less. That was a problem we could deal with. We’d come across it before and knew what to do. Griffin and Jaeger would be pack soon with a list of the Alphas that belonged to Deimos.Their packs will be cleansed, their witches brought to the castle and new Alphas will be appointed. Once we have the names of the treacherous Alphas, I can assign the individual teams of Lycans to go to clear out the packs and bring the witches here. “Why not just kill the witches too,” Elias asked.He wasn’t supposed to be at the meeting. He is still mourning the loss of his mate, and he’s a mess, but
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 63
BowdenThe week passes in a quiet, comfortable hush. I hadn’t taken an extended break from my duties for so long that I had almost forgotten what it’s like to just relax and do nothing. The fact that I had my mate by my side the entire time just made it so much better.Kaiya wasn’t that comfortable with doing absolutely nothing though. She kept trying to find work for herself. On the day we moved her into my apartment, she tried to do the Omegas’ work, and I finally had to take her outside so she’d stop pestering them.Instead of fully sharing a room with me, Kaiya decided to take up the spare room down the hall and next to my private office. I was blown away by her reasoning when I asked her about it, realising for the first time that she understood me much better than I thought she did. “You need your space,” she said when I half-heartedly objected. “There are times when you need to be alone.”I didn’t argue with her any further. I was grateful for it. She was right. I’ve had many f
Once Upon a Full Moon Chapter 64
**TRIGGER WARNING:** This chapter is rough and depicts scenes of dead children. Proceed with caution. Kaiya “Kaiya!” Bowden screams in my head, his voice panicked. “You have to talk to me. What is wrong?” I can’t say the words, and I can’t answer him because I’m about to lose my shit completely. I can't think. I can't even breathe. The bodies of the children are the worst. Torn limb from limb, the Stone Wood Clan men hung their parts on the trees for us to find them. Some kind of warning, I guess, not to cross over into their territory. Judging by the smell and the rate of decomposition of the different corpses, they killed Leigh last, after she had to witness her children’s horrific deaths. The ground where they tore the children apart is soaked in their drying blood and other bodily fluids. It looks as if she was on her knees facing her children, and when they slit her throat, she fell forward, bleeding out onto the ground. At least they didn't mutilate her body. My phone star
