#2 When the Moon Turns Red

Chapter Epilogue



Evie

I was rocking my precious daughter in my arms as Noah greeted our visitor. I was waiting for Noah and the witch in his office, excited about finally being able to mark my mate and husband. Noah entered the office with a tall, magically dressed woman in tow.

She had raven black hair, olive skin, and black orbs where her pupils were supposed to be. She had on an arrangement of colorful robes, dark leather pants, and high heeled boots. Her lips were stained red and her face was expressionless.

“This is my Luna and wife, Everleigh.” Noah quickly came to my side, wrapping his arm around my waist,

“And our daughter, Sage.”

“I am Mayze.” The witch introduced herself.

“Thank you for coming.” I bowed my head graciously.

“I understand you would like a way to mark your Alpha.” Mayze said. I nodded eagerly,

“Yes, please.” Mayze pulled something out of the folds of her robe, handing over a wooden object that resembled an old-fashioned stamp.

“Once the Alpha marks you, you’ll press this against your mark. The pad will observe a copy of your mark that you’ll then be able to transfer to the Alpha by stamping his neck.” Mayze explained. So, it turned out that this was exactly like an old-fashioned stamp.

“That’s it?” I asked, examining the stamp.

“That’s it.” She purred.

“Wow, okay, thank you.” I grinned.

“You’re lucky, I just did this for Alpha August of Rhode Island and his wolfless Luna so I was well prepared.” Mayze explained. I looked sideways at Noah.

“We appreciate you doing the same for us. Alpha August is actually the one who recommended you. He said you were extremely sympathetic to the cross-species mate bond.” Noah said.

“That’s true. Have you spoken in length with Alpha August?” Mayze asked, perching herself on the armrest of one of the large chairs in Noah’s office.

“We discussed his run-in with the coven of witches and the Council. We share a distaste for the Council’s control.” Noah said. I had no idea what he was talking about.

“Perhaps you would consider creating an alliance with the Crescent Moon pack. There will come a day when they need your help.” Mayze said mysteriously.

“Have you predicted something?” Noah asked, suddenly holding Sage and I closer.

“The thunder of change is upon us. There are more of you to come, more bonds to be tested. Your packs must come together to protect your families and change the wheels of fate.” Mayze spoke in song. She startled me when she pointed in my direction.

“More of me?” I squeaked.

“More wolfless mates for strong Alphas.” She clarified, a far off look on her face,

“The Moon Goddess has chosen strong partners for strong Alpha’s. Hidden gems within other realms. You have the gift of the Luna command, do you not?” Mayze asked me. I looked at Noah who answered,

“She could use her Luna voice even before her Luna ceremony. She commanded Alphas and vampires.” Noah explained.

“She was given a gift that will be key to the upcoming war.” Mayze predicted.

“I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my family. We’ll be ready when the time comes.” Noah replied sternly.

“It will take everyone to succeed.” Mayze warned before snapping her fingers and disappearing in a puff of smoke.

“What the hell was that about?” I gasped, looking towards Noah.
