“Tell me she’s joking. That’s hysterical!” my wolf snorts amusedly within my spinning skull, refusing to believe the witches supposed revelation of my apparent past.
“She has to be. That can’t be true,” I agree, “-there’s nothing royal about me or Ash!”
A playful smile spreads across my disbelief riddled face as I look at the enchanting witch sat in front of me, her lips poised as she rests her delicate hands on top of her crossed knee while studying my face, waiting for my reaction patiently. I begin to chuckle softly; my face contorting as I suck in the air greedily, my timid giggle growing into an uncontrollable roar of laughter while Marie looks at me confused, her eyes shifting towards Raven, unsure of what’s going on as humoured tears stream down my cherry red cheeks.

I feel a sense of numbness lingering within me as my unrested eyes begin to flutter; exhaustion still weighing over me as if it were a dark cloud, consuming me as I try to wake from my slumber. The ambient glow of the brightening room breaks through the darkness of my shut eyes while I begin to gently stir after a sleepless night. I fight the urge to drift back off to sleep despite my body's demands; clutching the warm duvet to my chest as I lay on my side, unravelling myself from the cocooned sheets while I wiggle around dozily.I lift my heavy head from the comfort of my bed; the gentle buzzing within my ears slowly fading when I notice excited conversations erupting from outside the confinement of my still room, spread throughout the lively apartment contagiously. I throw myself back down; pressing my face into the soft bedding as I listen to the frantic commotion breaking through the closed bedroom door, sparking my curiosity and convincing me to get up.I ro
A momentary glimpse of discomfort consumes his anxious face as he sits himself up; his defined back muscles flex effortlessly while he turns around, fumbling nervously as he adjusts the cluster of pillows nestled behind him before resting back down against them. He continues to fidget; gently gnawing at the rough skin on his lips while exposing his bare chest from underneath the half-strewn blanket, his aura growing tenser as the seconds pass by. He smooths over the wrinkled cover with outstretched hands as he tries to buy himself some time while a worried frown hangs above his narrowing eyes. He eventually settles down; running a clumsy hand through his messy hair before allowing his arm to rest behind his head, exposing his muscular bicep with ease with its inked decoration wrapped snuggly around it.Elijah chuckles uncomfortably as he gently shrugs his shoulders, “I don’t know where to begin.”He pauses with hesitation; taking his time as he draws
My head tilts as I look back at my excited mate while he anticipates my response; a wide grin still decorating his angelic face as he patiently waits for my answer, unaware of the panic building within my frozen body. I feel a powerful concoction of emotions stir from inside of me; an overwhelming tidal wave growing, formed by fear and doubt as they crash against one another. I allow the worry to take root, weakly submitting to its force as it consumes my clouding mind while the weight of Elijah’s request begins to gather on my trembling shoulders.“Huh?” I finally manage to murmur as my jaw gapes wide, unsure whether or not I had heard Elijah correctly.A soft rolling chuckle bursts from my mate's enticing lips; invitingly filling the air around us as he watches me fidget under his unshifting stare, “I want you to be my Luna, Willow,” he repeats warmly. “Did h
My exhaustion riddled eyes can’t believe what’s laid out before me while the recently uncovered book sits on my lap invitingly; I remain motionless as I ogle downwards in amazement at my recent discovery, shocked to my very core while I study its dust-caked cover. I blow a sharp gust of air towards the dated leather, hoping to clean it to no avail as only a small gathering of the collected debris comes away. I carefully run my hand over the crisp and dry covering, brushing the remaining grime away allowing the barely visible royal blue pigment to break through even more than it already had done before.Faded gold inscriptions decorate the book in its entirety while a hallow crescent moon sits delicately in its centre. Within its shape, tribal-inspired patterns flow gracefully within its confines, amplifying its already distinct beauty. I trace my finger above the intricate engravings, taking my time as I allow each and every detail to sink in and settle within my
I follow Marie as we get lost in the maze-like house; unsure of where to go while we blindly try to navigate our way through the unfamiliar layout, managing to stumble upon every room apart from the kitchen itself. After closing another incorrect door behind us, we wander back through into the still corridor feeling none the wiser as to where we need to go. We struggle to stay quiet; spluttering into our clasped hands as they smother our crumpled faces, trying to console the uncontrollable fits of laughter erupting between us. Despite our best attempts of remaining silent, we fail miserably at our task at hand while attempting to creep around the confines of the large slumbering home, uncertain as to whether or not we have disturbed anyone within the sleeping household.When we eventually find our destination, I set about busying myself while Marie explores each cabinet and drawer in sight with a burning intrigue sprawled curiously across her face, mesmerised by the different
I head towards the cabins gently creaking door as the wind begins to pick up its pace outside, howling softly while my wolf's confidence begins to take root within, a steady flow of adrenaline coursing through my pulsing veins as I gradually settle into our newly shifted form. Soon her intensified emotions cloud my very own; effortlessly conquering my jittering nerves as I give in to her dominating presence, altering my state of mind as any hesitation I had previously felt disappears without a second thought. I push through the weathered barricade uncaringly, channelling my wolf’s surfacing hubris while I burst back into the open glade with my head held high, striding back across the empty field as I make my way towards the others.As I near the group of waiting wolves I can sense a steady flow of watching eyes begin to fixate on me while my wolf's personality continues to seep into mine, blurring the line that usually separates us from one another. A mixed display of c
My body begins to tremble with excitement as the pent-up information held within me all day begins to pour out. The heavy burden of secrecy being lifted from my over lumbered shoulders causes a rolling wave of relief to flood throughout me while Elijah rubs his stubbled chin, listening attentively as I fill him in on what I had uncovered this morning. I watch as he nods his head in acknowledgement; somehow managing to take in each rushed word that escapes from my blabbering mouth as it moves one hundred miles an hour, bobbing his head gently every few seconds as he tries to make sense of my passionate ramblings regarding the Blue Moon Pack’s ancestral book.He raises an intrigued eyebrow; folding his muscular arms against his chest causing them to almost burst from the confinement of his fitted shirt, a glimmer of bewilderment shimmering within his steel-like eyes as I tell him about the ancient language inscribed upon the crumbling pages held within the book of memoirs
“Dad died a few years ago. Don’t you remember?” Elijah answers his frowning mother remorsefully as we notice her fogged mind begin to take over while she shakes from her rising temper, her illness erasing the memories of her husband’s demise on this given day.“No. You’re lying,” she snatches her hands away from him, “-you’re fathers not dead. Stop talking nonsense, boy,” she crosses her arms in spite.“I’m not lying mum,” Elijah stands from his chair appearing hurt from her hateful action of snappily pulling away from him, “-you know this,” he shakes his head sullenly.“Stop it!” she shouts abruptly, “Stop filling my head with your poisonous lies! Your father isn’t dead, Elijah!” she screeches, “How dare you say such awful things!”I take a step back; receding away from the bed as his mother lashes out rabidly, the veins ben
