Return of the Luna Queen LXIII
Rosalie Several hours later, we found ourselves pulling up a long, gated driveway. Trees, even more ancient than the ones found surrounding the Eclipse Pack, towered above us, casting the gravel path ahead into gloomy shadows. The sun, as far as we could tell, was just beginning to peek over the horizon. The angry red glow of dawn making the lower forest line light up in a blaze of colour.At the end of the drive, was a large wooden lodge sprawled out before us.It stood in darkness indicating that we were the first ones to arrive. “Geesh” Landon whistled under his breath. “I though you said this was a safe house? Its bigger than the pack house back home.”My cheeks flooded red at his observation.“Well, the packs here are a little bit bigger than in England. Each pack covers a lot more ground and are fewer between so makes it easier to roam and spread out. A safe house is there to ensure that it can accommodate everyone comfortably. Even this once is considered small for us.”Lan
Return of the Luna Queen LXIV
RosalieClosing the creaky, heavy wooden door, I find myself sagging against the hard wood in relief. It had felt like an age since I was in my own company. The reprieve to not have the expectation of answering endless questions, to try and figure out feelings that I didn’t want nor had time to delve into, it was like a giant weight had been lifted from my soul. And all I could hear… was silence.Nothing at all made a noise. It was just endless silence. And it was bliss. The room, my room as Jace called it, had barely changed since the last time I was here. He calls it my room. Realistically it wasn’t. There was nothing in the sparsely decorated wooden cabin that remotely belonged to me or could be called “mine”. However, it was the room I had stayed in briefly during the few summer visits we had here when we were children.The cabin itself remained unoccupied for years at a time. The only people that ever came into the property were the cleaners once every few weeks just to make sur

Rosalie This kiss intensified. And even when I found myself drawing back for breath, my lips continue their perusal over Landon’s heated skin, starting at his jaw and following a path down his strong neck. “Rosie.” He moans into my ear. It was enough to spur me on. He was enjoying this as much as I was. It felt amazing to just finally relinquish control and allow my instinct to take over. And I found myself wanting more. My kisses were slowing becoming more frenzied. And the core of my desire, burned for more. Obviously struggling to hold my wiggling body, Landon adjusts his position. Swinging me, so that I was straddling his waist, my bottom propped up on the vanity side unit. With this came a new type of contact, and it was enough to drive me wild. I could hear the involuntary growl coming from my chest at the contact. His hard, completely bare cock, pressed up against my opening. Only separated by the thin material of my panties. Landon seemed to look down at me in wonder as
Return of the Luna Queen LXVI
Rosalie The sun was breaking through the canopy of trees above me, glaring to the eye. Reaching out my hand I shield my face from the rays. Looking around myself in confusion as to how I even ended up here. I was perched on the edge of a vast lake. In the distance a waterfall cascades over a cliff face, splashing into the water below causing the lake to have a constant ripple effect. It was incredibly picturesque. The water frothing on the rocks below, the lush greenery that trickled down the cliff face and surrounding area. It was like a painting. A very beautiful, living, painting. I remembered this place all too well. It had been a favourite spot of mine and Jace’s for wild swimming. Secluded and quiet. I sat an listened for a happy moment to the sound of the water falling into the lake below, and the few birds playing in the trees. Closing my eyes and soaking up the sun. The only other being present to share the spot with were a tranquil group of deer, who stood by the waters

Rosalie Jace wasn’t really too sure how to respond to my story. His eyes constantly flickering to his mate in the hopes that she might make sense of my nonsense. But they both remained silent. Their eyes ever staring, there posture slightly inclined away as if they might catch the madness that seemed to dwell within me. “It’s true.” Landon added. “I have seen the demon for myself.” His words did go someway in reassuring my brother. Which irked me ever so slightly. He was, after all, my brother. Shouldn’t he trust me above someone that was practically a stranger too him. Whatever had happened whilst I was away, had meant that they were now bonded my something more than kinship. There seemed to be a respect between the two. Maddie, who had often been rumoured to have some unnatural skill about her. She wasn’t a witch as such, and she certainly didn’t flaunt any gift she had freely. But she knew things about people that she had no business in knowing. She was able to tell the sick fro

Rosalie“What the hell have we done.” I curse out, throwing off the blanket wrapped around me and began pacing back and forth. “I didn’t even hear the car pull up. We should have told her before anything happened. Now I have broken her heart and it’s my fault.” The words spilled out of my mouth, barely catching a breath as I rambled.“This isn’t your fault, Rosie. It’s on me. I should have been honest with her from the starts.” His attempts to try and placate me only made my temper rise higher, and the guilt in my gut boil over.“Yes, you should.” I turn on him, my anger only increasing. “You should have been honest with us both. But I should never have allowed myself to fall for your spell. I let you in and I shouldn’t have, it was wrong of me. And now my best friend has run off into the woods! Alone.”“Rosie, this isn’t on you.” He tried again, this time attempting to pull me into his arms.“No!” I step back away from him, distraught that he would even attempt to come to me right no
Return of the Luna Queen LXIX
Landon “I didn’t intend for you to find out this way, Steph. But, for what it is worth, I am sorry that you did. No one deserves to find out this way.” I felt wretched. Not only about Steph and how she walked in on Rosalie and myself, but also because my conversation with Rosalie had not gone as I had hoped. It was true. I had been thinking about moving to the Blood Moon pack prior to Steph’s appearance. And I had believed that she would welcome the opportunity with open arms. I could see in her face, the way she watched her brother and his children playing and laughing, she wanted to be with them. I knew I wasn’t mistaken about that. But then, perhaps it was my timing that was off. I should have waited for everything else to have blown over to broach the subject. I didn’t take a genius to see that she was still wrestling with her inner self. It had only been a few short weeks since her whole life had been turned upside down as she knew it. And now I was posing the idea of her upro
Return of the Luna Queen LXX
RosalieSeeing Steph looking so desolate broke my heart even more than it was already broken. She looked completely crushed. Her normally bubbly and self-confident demeanour gone. Even through the dark shades that she used to cover her face, I could see clearly that she had gotten little sleep, and most likely had spent a good chunk of the evening crying.I wanted to go over and speak to her. But the moment I stepped into her direction, she turned her back and stalked away refusing to even meet my gaze. Making it clear that she was not yet ready to talk to me.On top of it all. It was time to say goodbye to Jace, again. Something that I had wished to avoid.For a brief moment in time, I had thought that staying would perhaps be the easier thing to do. That I could see myself happy, settling down with my family once more. Perhaps even with Landon at my side. But by now, any hope of that future had been crushed. I was even more resolved to go back to Alexander and the children. No mat
