Gunner.
I pushed open the hall door and walked in. The faces of the men turned to look at me but quickly went back to their conversations once they realised it was just me. Mazz and Julian were here as well as four others, the commanders. Smith sat quietly at the back corner of the room. He was avoiding eye contact with me, he must still be embarrassed about his reaction to Zelena’s heat. I stood at the head of the table and cleared my throat loudly.
“Settle down, let’s get things started” I called to them.
“Thanks pup, but we’ll wait for the Alpha” one of the commanders spat with a sarcastic laugh. I think his name is Jackson.
“The Alpha is on the way, in the meantime I will be leading this meeting” I said sternly.
“Pfft” the commander turned his back to me and went back to talking to the others. His disrespect and arrogance made my blood boil. Mazz and Julian were
Gunner.I lay in bed staring at the dimly lit ceiling. The light from the bathroom was enough to illuminate the room. Zelena was resting her head on my chest, quietly humming while tracing circles across my bare stomach. I tickled my fingers up and down her naked back, her skin is so soft and smooth. I could lay with her like this all night. She is everything I could have hoped for in a Mate and a Luna.“Zelena” I spoke softly.“Oh no, you're using my full name” she said nervously.“I need to tell you something” I said perching myself up on my elbow,“Okay” she said slowly angling herself up, putting her chin in her hands and looking at me.“While you were resting, I met with the pack council. My dad, and the commanders…”“Commanders?” she interrupted,“Yeh they’re the leaders of the pack fighters, kind of like the genera
Gunner."Zelena, your Luna, bares the mark of the Moon Goddess and is the new chosen daughter”.Mumbled and hushed voices grew louder as I spoke until I was near on yelling the last few words. I lifted my hands trying to get them to settle down again.“Please, quiet down. Please let me finish” I called over the crowd.“Zelena has the mark of the Goddess, yes, but she also wields her powers. She is, without a doubt, the Triple Goddess”.The crowd was silent, so silent that you could hear an ant fart in the forest. Zelena stepped forward a little and grabbed my hand, squeezing it tight. I could feel her nervousness. The pack then burst out in inaudible cries and calls, I could only make out a few of their words.“Bullshit”“Impossible”“Prove it”I turned to look at Zee, her face was pale and
Zelena.As I sat at the huge table in the room that Gunner called the hall, I was listening to him and Cole talking. Apparently more than half of the pack had elected to stay behind to help in the fight against the hunters. As much as I tried to argue with Gunner about sending them away with the others, it was useless. He just kept reminding me that he didn’t force them to stay and the more wolves to keep me safe, the better.Gunner and Cole were organising where to position the extra pack members when Lupus pushed open the door.“Son” he said as he stepped through the door,“The Blue Moon pack fighters have arrived, joined by their Alpha”“Their Alpha?” Gunner questioned.As the words left Gunners lips, the tallest man that I had ever seen stepped through the door and stood beside Lupus. He was monumentally gigantic. He doesn’t
Zelena.I was stopped in my tracks by a massive pair of boobs in my face. I looked up at the owner and recognised her from the bonfire. She’s the girl that was glaring at me from across the fire. Her brows were frowned together and she had her arms crossed under her chest.“Uh, hi” I said confused at her angered appearance.Her lip curled up into a snarl and she huffed.“Can I help you?” I asked,“Yeh, you can leave” she snapped, her voice a little too high pitched for my liking.“Sorry what?”“I said you can leave. You don’t belong here” she whined.“Who are you?” I snapped with a growing frustration.“I’m the one who is meant to be with Gunner, I'm the one he was going to Mate. That is until your pathetic bony ass rolled into the village” her voice was like venom, why would she think that she was meant
Zelena.As I stomped back down the stairs, I found Gunner talking with Tobias, Cole and a man I hadn’t seen before. He was a bit shorter than Cole and a lot older, but still clearly very fit and in good shape. His long light brown hair was tied back in a ponytail and his beard was well kept. As I reached the bottom step, all men turned to face me. Their faces were blank, but I could feel the tension in the air around them.“What’s going on?” I asked walking to Gunners side.“Smith is headed back, he reached the Crescent Wolf pack” Cole paused,“And? Are they coming too?” I questioned. Cole looked to Gunner and the new man and back to me, his eyes dropped a little.“Not exactly” Gunner inserted.“Hello Luna, I’m Patrick, I've come from Crescent Wolf” the new man spoke, his voice somewhat breaking the awkward silence.“Hello sir” I
Zelena.“Come and see them off, they’ll want to see you” Dad said before disappearing back through the door.Gunner took my arms from around his neck and kissed my hand before leading me out onto the porch. The village looked empty, I could see men and wolves gathered at the tree line towards the edge of the clearing. A few more people were headed to the front of the house, but there were no happy voices or laughter. No sounds of kids playing, or the smell of food cooking. Nothing.Gunner and I headed around to the driveway while the others went back to their preparations. The first bus was already loaded and ready to go, the second was still putting bags in the storage hold. Roe was standing with two men, assisting them with the bags. A lot of men were standing waving up to the busses, both older and younger men, fathers and their sons, I guess. A few strong looking women were
Gunner. “No, we need to spread them out more, here” Cole said pointing to a section of the forest on the map that was splayed out on the table. “We already have two battalions in this area, they can cover that ground as well” I replied. “Yes, but now we have the extra wolves to utilise and that forest area is thick, they could use the additional eyes” Cole rebutted. Cole has taken to his new official role as Beta wolf with ease. We always knew that he’d become the Beta at my ascension, but doing the job and training for the job are two different things. I trust him one hundred percent and that’s why I’m letting him argue his point, even if the Alpha’s word is final. “Okay, I hear you. Place another ten there and there, others here and here” I agreed as I pointed at parts of our borders on the map. “Son” I heard dad’s voice from the door behind me. I spun around to see him and nodded for him to continue. “The Bl
Gunner. “We have this section of forest secure, the tree cover will give our fighters a boost. We have blocked any through path here and here. This section of the forest was near on inaccessible, we have downed a few trees to make sure that nothing can get through”. Rex my eldest commander was pointing out the parts of the forest on the map as he spoke. He’s a great Were, strong and capable. It will be a hard hit to the pack the day that he retires. “I have traps set here and here for any incoming vehicles. More traps are set along this section of the border. The exterior of the pack house is secure and the village has been rigged here, here, here and here” Felix pointed out the cabins in the village and the other parts of the pack land. He has done very well in the limited amount of time he had. I like his initiative, his work ethic and his focus. He is a high contender for the top commander position after Rex. “I want Zelena to stay in the
