LUNA AKIRA

ROMAN

"GOODNESS GRACIOUS,GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! I'm definitely going to need to see a shrink after witnessing this! I guess I should've knocked first, buttttt, I'm here now, and I have very important news, Alpha!" Damn this Beta, of mine! I warned him on numerous occasions not to just storm into my room without getting permission to enter first! Guess it's on me for forgetting once again to lock the damn door! "PLEASE, DON'T STOP, ALPHA! SEND HIM AWAY!" Hearing my Omega sluts pleading with me not to stop when I was pounding into them was normally music to my ears, however, not this time around. I was more interested in hearing what important news my Beta had. And besides, it wasn't like he was actually interrupting something I was getting immense pleasure from. None of the Omegas I f*ck completely satisfy my hunger. Celeste is one of my favourites and had come close a couple of times, but 'something' was missing, perhaps it's because none of them were my fated mate. "THIS BETTER BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH MICHAEL OR I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD!" Michael didn't seem one bit apologetic for disturbing me, nor did he show any signs of discomfort having walked in on me boning Celeste. He looked way too excited about the news he was on about, so it best be good! "Well, it's not exactly a matter of life or death, but it is very important. I bring news of your mate, Alpha," he tells me excitedly. "GET OUT CELESTE, WE'RE DONE!" My Omega slut was not happy and gave Michael an angry growl as she hesitantly got dressed and left my room. I'll make it up to her later. Michael was not very fond of Celeste and smiled from ear to ear when I told her to get out! He always said that she was 'Bad News', whatever the heck he had against her, I couldn't care. "WIPE THAT STUPID GRIN OFF YOUR FACE AND START TALKING! WHAT NEWS DID YOU BRING?"

A few months ago, the Moon Goddess told me about my fated mate, the future Luna of my pack. Apparently, She had no idea that our 'kind' existed as she was given to a pure, human couple after the death of her parents. Her memories of her true self were erased by a powerful sorceress. Now that she has come of age, it was time for the truth to be revealed to her. I am not ready to be tied down to a mate! I enjoy my life the way it is. I can pick out anyone I want from my pack of Omega sluts who are always ready and eager to do just about anything to try and please me. But, according to the Moon

Goddess, there is some prophecy that has to be fulfilled. She made it very clear that I must not reject my mate, or my pack would suffer the consequences. It's a whole lot of hogwash! I don't know what is so special about her and why the Moon Goddess would doubt my ability to protect my pack. I have been doing it for years! Not only do I possess great physical strength, but I also have great wealth and power. I am feared by many, and I have never lost on the battlefield. Oh well, if I am forced into accepting her as my mate, then I guess she would be a welcomed addition to my pack of sluts and can do her bit in satisfying my sexual desires!

"Alpha, I managed to track your mate all the way to Paris. She's studying at a University there. She is BEAUTIFUL! You will be blown away for sure. It'll definitely be love at first sight. She looks like a Goddess! Her name is Akira." Interesting... I was not expecting that. For some reason, I pictured her to be a boring, nerdy looking geek girl. "She was living in an apartment with a guy, but they packed up and left in a hurry late last night. I followed them to the airport, and they took a flight to LA. They may have discovered that I was following them, so I decided it safer to return to the pack house" I could not explain it, why did I feel jealous when Michael mentioned she was living with a guy? She's a total stranger to me! Couples living together before marriage is the norm now. They were probably in a serious relationship. Pity for them, though. Whatever it is that they have is going to end soon! I've been through hell and back ensuring the survival of the Blue Moon Stone pack, and I will not let anyone or anything destroy what I have worked so hard for. So, if my mate, whom everyone is all hyped about, is going to help somehow, then I will accept her for the sake of the pack and not allow anyone to screw things up! That 'anyone' is her current boyfriend! My parents had rebuilt the pack after the death of my fated mate's parents. My father had taken over as the pack's Alpha and I, his Heir, took over when he lost his life in battle a few years ago. The pack meant the world to my father, and I vowed to him to do my very best to always protect it. The sooner my fated mate gets here, the better! The Moon Goddess will hopefully reveal more details of the upcoming battles, then we can start preparing.

"Roman, is it true? Has our fated mate been found?" Well, what do you know! My stubborn wolf has finally awoken from his deep slumber! "Titan, nice of you to finally join the party. Did you enjoy your nap, old boy?" Let's just say that my wolf did not approve of Celeste and my other playthings, and he always chose to surrender to deep sleep instead. "Old Boy? Take that back, Roman, or else! And it's not just that I do not approve! They disgust me! Unlike you, I prefer quality, and I am sure that would be our fated mate! I can't wait to meet her! I'm so excited and wish she would arrive already. " Just great! And here we have yet another fan, folks! "Titan, she has no idea that we exist, and there is no guarantee that she will accept us once she learns the truth. She was brought up in the ways of a human, and our way of life is not exactly one people like her would be eager to have. Please don't get your hopes up. You would just end up disappointed." As I paced around my room deep in conversation with my wolf through mind link, I noticed my Beta had made himself comfortable on my couch after helping himself to a drink. He sat there enjoying his Cognac and had a huge grin plastered on his face as he stared at me! Michael and I were best friends since our childhood. We probably have a bond stronger than brothers. It was only fitting that he became my first Beta. There was no one I trusted more with my life. But, he was also the one person who got on my nerves the most! "What's tickling your paws, Michael? Want to share what's so funny?" He then started to tease me about how serious I looked and that he was apparently trying to figure out the dirty secrets I was sharing with my wolf about my fated mate. "You know that had you unblocked me and allowed me to mind link with you again, I would not have had to walk into that traumatizing sex show off you had earlier?" I blocked him off because he felt the need to mind link with me every few minutes of his journey while trying to find my fated mate, and most of the time was just to give me the heads up on how bored he was!

AKIRA

"YOU HAVE TO PICK UP PACE, AKIRA! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS, PLEASE DARLING, WE HAVE TO KEEP MOVING!" A woman screamed loudly at me. The thick fog made it difficult to see, and I kept stumbling. "Where are we going, mom?" I asked, but she didn't answer me and continued speed walking through the forest. The wolves then started to howl loudly, and seconds later, the woman, I referred to as my mom, dropped to her knees, placed her hands to her chest and also howled loudly. She looked and sounded as though she was in severe pain. We were near a Great Oak, the largest one I'd seen in the forest, and it was surrounded with thick fog. It looked creepy yet beautiful. "GET UP LUNA! GET UP! YOU HAVE TO PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG FOR AKIRA!" A different voice shouted out loud. I tried to see who it was, but I couldn't. It was so difficult seeing anything. "Skylar, you have to take Akira to safety for me, I have to get back to the pack. I can not leave them to fight on their own now that the Alpha is no more! Please, do what you must, even use your magic if you have to and erase her memories, hide her scent and suppress her wolf. Please, Skylar, do whatever it takes to keep her safe. I may not come out of this alive, so please, promise me you will take care of her! Give her a chance to have a normal life, at least till she's eighteen. The Moon Goddess will find her when it's time." I couldn't make sense of what that woman was talking about but this Skylar person promised and took hold of my hand after she hugged and kissed me goodbye and told me she would always love me and would be watching over me. She then shifted into a beautiful silver wolf and sped off. "Mom,please don't leave me, please, I'm scared, please don't leave me here!" I cried out.

"Akira! Akira! Wake up! It's only a nightmare! There, there, my girl, you are safe!" I opened my eyes and looked around in total shock. Zion, my best friend, was sitting next to me looking very worried. He pulled me into a gentle hug and, in a comforting tone, said, "You're going to be okay, Kira. Here, drink some of this water and when you are ready we can talk about it. But I still think you need to seriously reconsider getting some professional help. You are having them too often now." Zion was right! It started the night after I turned eighteen, which was a few months ago, and I had it almost every night thereafter, the exact same dream or nightmare. I don't even know what to call it! It's just totally insane! I referred to some stranger as my mom, and she shifted into a wolf! That sort of thing just doesn't happen in real life! I would probably be sent off to a loony bin if I told people about the crazy dreams I was having.Zion was the only one that I shared the details of the dreams with, and I made him promise not to mention it to anyone. Not even to his boyfriend! I knew I could trust him. We had been best friends since the eighth grade.Zion and I had recently moved to Paris, into a comfy apartment close to the University we were studying at. Our parents had gone all out to help us achieve our goals. Living in Paris and studying at one of the best Universities was the best gift ever!

We loved having our own personal space. Life on Campus grounds in the students' apartment buildings, came with way too much temptation and too many distractions. Zion and I made a pact to be fully committed to becoming the very best fashion designers of our time, and what better inspiration to help us along the way than studying in the city famous for the best designers, fashion, love, art and so much more! Though our parents had their meltdowns when we were leaving home, it gave them peace of mind knowing that Zion and I had each other. We would not be spreading our wings in a foreign country all alone. Zion's boyfriend promised to move here once his work transfer application was sorted out. I love Zion and his boyfriend Damon to the moon and back, but they tend to get way too protective over me, and it can get a bit too suffocating at times. Not to brag, but I am quite the looker. I have been mistaken for a supermodel on numerous occasions. However, when I was younger, I was bullied by the kids in my school and they especially picked on the natural silver 'highlights' in my hair but as I grew older and the longer my hair grew, it became one of my most beautiful features, admired and envied by many. It helped boost my confidence, and I even gained the courage to stand up to my bullies. The other totally awesome feature that neither of my parents has is my unique pair of eyes. It is a mix of sky blue and silver, and whenever I asked my parents why I looked so different from them, they would say that I was their miracle, the angels blessed them with me and that I was very special. Mum would always tease dad that I got my good looks from her side of the family, but I had never seen anyone who came close to resemble me. At first glance, one would think I was very popular in the dating circles, but the truth is that I have never really cared much about dating. While girls in high school got all excited about prom, I got all excited about designing their dresses and getting paid for it. Yes, I made them pay for it! I already had a brilliant eye for fashion, and those girls loved my work and didn't mind paying for my help to look fabulous for what was apparently the most important night of their lives! Gosh! Those "wanna be prom queens" and their antics truly got on my nerves! Thankfully, Zion was by my side to maintain calm. He still is. I don't know what it is or why, but he is the one person who just totally gets me! Many think that we are together, like in a serious relationship, and we let them. They don't know that he has a boyfriend and we have lots of fun playing the perfect couple. Zion sprung up in height and also filled out rather nicely over the past year and now boasts a six-pack, gorgeous blue eyes and not forgetting the silky mop of blonde hair that leaves both males and females drooling. A male modeling scout recently approached him and offered him a very impressive contract. Zion, being Zion, was not as excited about it as others may have been. The scout had been calling daily for his decision, but his answer remains the same. He's still thinking about it! I have tried to convince him to sign the contract as it is a golden opportunity, but he says that something in his gut keeps telling him to hold off. If there's anything I have learned about Zion, he totally trusted his instincts, and no one could convince him otherwise. I will support whatever he decides on. As for me, I must figure out how to get rid of the nightmares I have been having. It's messing me up bad! And, now that we're in Paris, I am planning on exploring more than just my love for the fashion world. My soul mate could be right here in this beautiful city of love.

ZION

My first few weeks in a new high school were a nightmare! I had always been a pretty boy, but, back then, I was a scrawny little thing, too, who was like a magnet, which drew out just about every bully around. Being 'different' from most of the boys my age made things worse. The daily pranks and beatings got out of control, and I considered harming myself as a way out. One afternoon, as I was trying to sneak out of school without getting the attention of my bullies, the worst of the worst one caught up with me just as I was almost out the gates, grabbed me and pulled down my pants, pushed me to the ground and kicked me. The other students gathered around and were cheering him on. I gave up fighting back and just lay on the ground and let him have his way. All of a sudden, I heard him scream out loud, and he then fell to the ground. I looked up in shock, and there she was, My Angel, standing in front of me. Her long, beautiful black and silver hair swayed with the wind, and she looked just like a Warrior Princess from the movies. She held out a hand to me to take hold of while the other was still holding a big stick, which looked more like a log, tightly. I took hold of her hand and stood up slowly, and noticed she was standing in a position to hide my almost naked bottom of my body from the others. After I pulled up my pants and looked all decent again. Akira waved the big stick around and shouted angrily to the crowd, informing them that if anyone ever bullied me again, they would have to face her wrath! She made it very clear that enough was enough and that she was not afraid of any of the school bullies anymore and would not be tolerating their behaviour and promised to make them pay the price should they try to harm me or anyone else in the school. The bleeding bully lying on the ground was an example of what she would do to protect us from them. Since that day, I have been following Akira around like a loyal puppy. It annoyed her at first but we soon became best friends. Looking back, I am actually grateful for that horrific day because it helped me find my bestie. Akira is one of the most jovial people I have ever met, but the nightmares she's been having are taking a toll on her and dragging her into a depressed state. I wish she would listen to me and get some professional help. I hate seeing her like that. Hopefully, when Damon arrives, he will help convince her. I can't wait for him to join us. I didn't mention the nightmares to him cos of the promise I made to Akira, but for the past few days, I've had this weird feeling that we were being followed and watched all the time. I thought that I was probably imagining things. Perhaps Akira's nightmares were just making me feel all anxious and paranoid! But then I noticed a hooded figure lurking outside the University this morning and the same figure near our apartment when we got home. I kept it to myself. It could be me just imagining things and not worth getting Akira more worked up. If this uneasy feeling could just disappear, I would probably stop seeing things that's not there!

"Zee, I got to tell you something, but you have to promise not to freak out," Akira tells me and brings me out of my deep thoughts. "Hey, you're finally done. You took like forever in the bath, but I hope it helped you relax. Why don't you go dry your hair while I whip up something for us to snack on quickly. We can chat while we eat." I rushed off to the kitchen before she could answer me in the hope that my face didn't give away the fear I felt from all that I was thinking about. Before I knew it, Akira was in the kitchen and asked in a concerned tone, "Zee, are you okay? You seem edgy. I'm truly sorry if my nightmares scare you." Good God, I can't hide anything from this girl! "Kira, there's no need for you to apologize. I'm just worried that they're messing you up, and I just wish it would stop. Now, get your toosh all comfy on the couch, and I'll bring the snacks." Hopefully, that convinced her for now. "Here you go, Your Highness, a yummy late night snack just the way you like it." I joined Akira on the couch, and while eating, I pondered on whether I should ask about what she wanted to talk about or let it be, but then she interrupted my thoughts and said softly, "I think that someone's following us, Zee. Could be I'm imagining things. I just don't know anymore, especially with all the weird nightmares I've been having." Okay, I was soooooo not expecting that!

"Well built, tall, giant like figure dressed in all black and head covered up with a hoodie?" I asked her, and her eyes opened wide as her jaw dropped in shock. "You saw him too? Why haven't you said anything?" she asked after a few seconds. I explained that I didn't want to worry her, and I also doubted what I saw. There's no way we both could have imagined it! The questions on both our lips were who this person was and why he was following us around? "What if he's from the mob or mafia and wants to kidnap us and sell us at an underworld auction? We are just over eighteen, in a foreign country with no family around. He's probably studying our movements and planning when to kidnap us. Ohhhh, Heavens Zee, I have read about this stuff. What are we going to do? We should call our parents and tell them or we could call the cops?" I felt just as panicked as Akira. I got off the couch and walked over to the window facing the parking lot of our apartment. He was there! At this hour, he stood there, like a mannequin, head facing up and staring directly at our window. I screamed at Akira to phone the cops and tell them to hurry! He definitely saw me at the window but continued to stand there staring up, as though directly at me! Did he want me to know he's watching us? Could what Akira said be true? I am not as strong as her! I would never survive being kidnapped, tortured, and worse, being auctioned off to monsters! I could only imagine what they would do to our beautiful bodies! We sure as hell are not going to stick around to find out! I want to go back home! I quickly grabbed my binoculars, I wanted to try and get a better look at this guy in case he took off before the cops got here! I could not believe what I was seeing. His eyes were glowing, like bright orange flames! It couldn't be real, right? He probably had contacts on, and the street lights were reflecting on it or something! That had to be it!
