K.MatthewsHi all, Just a quick note as it has been a while.... Firstly, I just want to say a massive thankyou for your continued support. Whether is be paying for chapter, or leaving a comment, it is truly appreciated. It is you, the readers, supporting me that gives me the drive to continue writing and creating stories. With that being said, for those that who have only recently discovered my books, or don't know me particularly well, I just wanted to clarify a couple of things. As much as I do understand the frustration, unfortunately being a mum to two children, as well as an ongoing health issue, I haven't been able to dedicate as much time to writing as I would like too. This has meant that updates have been slow, and in some cases, may not happen for a few days....

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

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
Return of the Luna Queen LXXI
RosalieThe road to the coven didn’t get any brighter.It was no longer passable by car. So the four of us found ourselves continuing on by foot.The path became narrower. The trees grew thicker. Shrubs and twigs snagged at our clothes and hair as we passed. But by far the worst part of the this whole encounter, was the lack of life around up. It reminded me so much of wondering into the gods woods after my meeting with Morag, that I was beginning to suffer with flash backs.Lack of life meant one of two things. Firstly, that the creatures that had been living in these ancient lands had been culled for sacrifice. Or secondly, that the living believed this place far too dangerous to inhabit.Either way, it didn’t make my uneasiness any the easier.When we did eventually wondering into civilisation, we were met with just as much hostility as we had been on the boarder.Looking around, amazed by the sheer amount of people that were in the coven.“You never told me Ali was a dark witch Dr
Return of the Luna Queen LXXII
Rosalie“Well, that was a monumental waste of time.” Steph all but screeched as we stepped back over the coven border to where the truck was still parked, her feet pacing the muddy path. “What do we do now?”She had directed her question to her brother, who had begun to answer with the usual response any Alpha would give, his tone brisk and concise. “We regroup, think of a new plan…”I had stopped listening, instead studying the poppet which suddenly sprung into action the moment I crossed the border, and was once again dangling from the tree before us, the knife floating merely inches in front of the stick face guarding the way between us and them.“Do we head back to Eclipse?” Landon said from somewhere behind me.“Not just yet.” I reply before anyone else could.The three turned their attention onto me.“You do realise that the coven has refused help?” Drake stated as plainly as he possibly could, his large hands resting on his hips, making him seem larger than his already imposing
Return of the Luna Queen LXXIII
RosalieOur answer came just before sunrise the next morning.None of us had a particularly good sleep.We had taken it in turns to keep watch through the night, whilst the others tried there best to sleep in the little warmth that the truck had to offer.Even though spring was yet to show its face, it was still a beautiful sight to behold, watching the first rays of light appear over the sparsely decorated canopy of trees and twinkling on the dewy ground that made up the mountainous terrain around us. It almost felt like we should be in midst of winter with the thick fog hanging around the treetops, shrouding the world around me in mystery.By the time the first rays of light were beginning to peep over the horizon below us, I could hear a rustle of feet moving through leaves behind me. A sure sign that whatever are fate was to be, had now been decided.By the time Irene had appeared out of the thicket, I was stood waiting for them in anticipation.I didn’t rouse the others. If she h
