Haley “Rayna was in no condition to fight to begin with. She is much too weak from her time as a slave. That wound would’ve killed her had I not healed her. Look, I am fine. I have no injury, it already healed.” He sighs as he pulls me into my arms. “What am I going to do with you,” he says as he kisses the top of my head. Jessica wakes up and her mate runs to her. “I’m okay Bryce, I’m okay.” “I’d feel better if you let the pack doctor at least look you over to ensure you really are okay.” “Let’s head back to the pack house. Dr. Sully is on his way to check on all the Lunas,” says Avery. I smile as us girls roll our eyes at our mate’s overprotectiveness but don’t argue against them. We all know they’ll never leave us alone if we don’t get the okay from the doctor. I know I am fine and I can hear both my kid’s heartbeat. “Alpha Bryce, Luna Jessica will be just fine. I gave her some fluids to push the rest of the wolfsbane out of her system. She will be cleared by the end of

Akila I have never felt such anger before and it almost made me lose control of my powers. That hasn’t happened in years. Once I realized I was scaring everyone I focused and got back in control. I appreciate that Haley had a funeral for my mother but I’ll need to request to exhume her. I need to burn her body and release her energy back into nature.As everyone heads downstairs, I head to the room Nick and Ray showed me that would be mine while I stayed in Crescent Moon. It’s nicer than anything I’ve ever stayed in before. Huge king sized bed with it’s own little living room and kitchenette. There is also a connected bathroom that is equipped with a huge tub that would fit two people and a walk in shower. I swear the closet is a bedroom, rather than a closet. I could get use to this. I grab the mint skirt with a silver belt line that is high waisted and the silver crop

Alpha Avery I pull Haley in for a kiss. I am so happy to finally have her officially introduced into this pack. There is some clapping in the crowd but I can tell there are many who are not happy with their new Luna and it’s pissing me off.“I know of this silly rumor that is spreading throughout this pack and I want it to stop. Now!”I use my Alpha command to ensure it stops and everyone bares their neck in submission.“She is the blood red wolf. She is a danger to our pack and your life,” says a wolf in the crowd.“Yeah! She will be the death of you, we all know the legend!”There are several angry wolves starting speak up and talk over each other.“I was suppose to be your Luna. She has bewitched you to take that from me. She will not put this pack first, she will destroy it,” yells Amanda.I can feel Haley’s anxiety as her heart begins to race. This i

Haley The next day one of the first things we do is exhume Akila’s mother and burn her remains. Akila says some incantations while her body burns and appears to be praying. We all watch, fascinated by this ritual. Mason takes Akila by the hand once it appears she is done praying and she allows him to embrace her. I can see Mason is whispering to her and I am sure he is telling her in more detail the day her mother died. A stray tear falls and she quickly wipes it away. We head back into the dining room for some of Sally’s blackberry cobbler and coffee. Akila seems to be taking her mother’s death better than I expected. “Akila, are you okay?” “I’m fine Haley. Death is a part of life. We don’t mourn it, we celebrate it. I’m just sad I wasn’t here when she died. I’m glad you kept your promise to her though,” she says while nudging against Mason. He smiles and kisses her forehead. I can tell they’ve been bonding lately. “Me too my angel.” “So are you all ready to learn more about wit

Haley I have been feeling uneasy lately. I am on edge, I feel like someone is watching me. Akila has been trying to keep me company while our mates are busy with their meetings. My store is temporarily closed down as no one wants me teaching their children, so for now I spend time with the children at the orphanage. The workers there are really friendly and the children love seeing Akila use her magic.“Again, again.” The children have Akila wrapped around their little fingers. They are begging her to use her magic to grow more flowers they have never seen before. “Okay little ones, but last time. I need to get the Luna back to the pack house,” she chuckles.She grows a beautiful orchid and the children ooo and aahh. She laughs as we hug the kids and leave. She is going to be a great mother someday.“L
