The Last Royal Luna

Melissa sees where I am staring and looks over. She gasps before grabbing a hold of my arm. She whispers in my ear how dark their auras are. It’s like a black sludge oozing out of them. I try to image it and it doesn’t look the greatest.

‘Richard is here with some other wolves. They have more than us and Melissa feels the darkness around them. I bet they fight dirty. Let’s head outside to see if we notice their cars from their smells before putting a tracker on them.’ I link the guys before whispering the plan to my friends. They all agree so we grab our stuff and walk out the front door.

“Leaving so soon, Princess?” Richard can barely contain his hate for me out of his voice. “I was hoping for some love since you seem to make everyone your mate. I don’t want to be stuck with you forever, but a taste would improve how I feel.” Richard winks at me as he steps toward us. His friends spread out behind him sneering and winking at us.

“Richard that is disgusting. No one here wants to even shake hands with your nasty a*s. Yuck!” Melissa shouts shaking her head in disgust.

“Shut up you b***h! No one cares about witches!” One of the men in the back yells.

“I am so not dealing with this right now! Nasty a*s wolves you have two options here. Kick rocks and leave or fight us and leave limping. Richard you have one option. Fight me and end up back in my jail cell. We may need to have some conversations about your parents.” I yell stepping in front of my friends.

My guys grab me and put me in the middle of them along with my friends. I wanted to get angry but I knew this was one of these times I should let them protect me. They needed this and it made me feel loved. ‘Blue be ready. Richard is feeling cocky and I am slightly drunk so one toe out of line and we shift since your sober.’

‘The stuff you have been drinking is disgusting. I will stick with my raw meats, thank you. And of course. I have been waiting to take a chunk out of his whole family.’ Blue huffed.

“Blake. Andrew. Already whipped from being mated. I expected better. The man is suppose to be in charge and not let his woman run her mouth. I could teach her.” Like I would let him touch me with a ten foot pole and me in a haz mat suit.

“How about your stop talking about our mate, Rogue! You won’t lay one hand on her body. Traitors of the crown deserve to die. Remember that!” Kane yelled with Knox growling next to him.

“YOU FOUND MORE MATES!” Richard screamed in outrage. I could feel his wolf getting even more angry.

“Yup. I got five hunks now which makes me even more powerful. Now I want to run home and take care of them so let’s do this.” I shifted without waiting for a response. My mates stepped away from me so I had room to maneuver.

“You said she lied about being a royal. Do you see the purple glowing eyes! I am out of here!” One of the dirty rogue’s yelled before running off. A few others joined him but Richard still ended up with five standing behind his actions.

Blue growled pacing side to side waiting for her mates to move. Richard was hers. He was an a*s in school and now thinks women are useless except for reproduction. He betrayed the pack and is now hanging with rogues.

“Ryder. You need to change back before humans see what’s going on. I know your angry and want his b***d but we need to handle this like humans.” Melissa whispered to me.

I knew she was right but damnit I was too drunk to actually take down a wolf. I nodded and changed back. Knox gave me his shirt which was long enough to go to my knees. If I was going to do this I needed to get it done before my body started losing it adrenaline.

“Fine. Let’s do this. Richard I am going to kick your a*s!” I pushed Asher out of the way and ran toward Richard. I could see his body tense up but I twisted my body last minute and punched the guy next to him out cold. It gave me a minute of surprise before tackling Richard.

“Damnit Ryder. We could do the fight without you but with you makes it easier. I need you safe not bruised! Let us help you!” Blake growled as he ran behind me wading into the fight. After that it all broke lose with everyone fighting except Melissa and Natalie. Melissa was guarding Natalie keeping her safe while using her magic here and there to tip the fights our way.

It didn’t take long to secure all of them and get in in the SUV. Knox and Kane took them back since they are used to dealing with prisoners plus they were a bit upset that I ended up with a black eye and a cut l*p. I tried to explain that I barely felt it and in a few hours they would be gone but they didn’t care. At least Asher and Andrew high fived me for breaking Richards nose and his arm. I felt a lot better.

We had to wait for Alistair to come pick us up since we all came in the SUV together. We were all in a good mood since we won and Melissa did a spell to hide us from the humans so no one saw anything. I can’t believe I didn’t even think about shifting in front of them because I was blinded by my anger. I felt a bit ashamed but everyone was allowed to make mistakes.

The whole way home Alistair kept asking more details and laughing it up about the fight. He was proud of me for kicking a*s but I got a small lecture on shifting. He did mention he wanted to show me some moves to take down an opponent quicker and with much more satisfaction on my end. I agreed instantly and everyone else wanted to join even the rest of the fab four. I did notice that Alistair kept looking back at Melissa and she would look away quickly when I caught her staring at him. Could she be his second chance mate? He is only 26 so the age difference is no big thing and she has always like older men.

When we pulled up I had everyone else get out so I could talk to Alistair. He looked nervous which was cute in my book. “So…. Melissa is your second chance mate, isn’t she?” I was going to be straight forward with conversation. My friend deserves love and loyalty.

“I would rather talk to her about this. No offense.” He says as he looks over at the house like he was hoping she would come out.

“I get that. She is one of my best friends and id die for her. I just need to know that this is something you want and not you rejecting her. I would rather I be able to get her prepared for the rejection since she isn’t a wolf. She is a witch so it will be hard for you both either way.”

“I would never reject a mate given to me from the goddess. She is my second chance and I am a bit scared on how to tell her. My wolf has been trying to get out since she got in the car. Help me.” He looked scared and sad. I know he only last his mate a few weeks ago so this is fast.

“How about you come in and join us? We are doing nachos and a movie since our night was ended too soon. Get to know each other a little bit and feel out how she feels. Also how you feel since you lost your first mate recently.” I opened the door and got out hearing his door open and close after mine.

I ended up passing out twenty minutes into the movie. I woke up to Knox carrying me to bed. I saw Melissa and Alistair passed out together on the couch. It made me happy. Maybe she would be able to move here onto the pack land so I can be near at least one of my besties! At least until we head out.
