2020-10-11 13:26:30Her wolf hit the ground, and she heard the glass hitting the pavement next to her. Without evening looking back, she took off in a full sprint. She heard the shouting from behind her and sped her pace up. She’s out and now she made sure it stayed that way. Crystal’s heart raced more than it ever had as she heard Andrew and his friends chasing behind her in their wolf forms. Aurora promised she wouldn’t let them catch her. They would not go back to that life.
They trampled over limbs, dodged trees, cleared a stream, and still, they gave chase. As her legs began to tire, the forest got thicker, and she knew she was entering Blood Moon Pack. She could smell him faintly and it gave her an extra boost of energy. They crossed into Blood Moon and his scent got stronger, almost like he was coming for her. She hoped so, she was wearing down. She continued to run but as her legs grew more and more tired, she heard Andrew closing in. She could hear wolves in front of her and she grew more hopeful. So much so, that she tripped up. Within seconds, Andrew was on top of her with his teeth to her throat. She closed her eyes and prepared for the worst. In a flash, though, the wait was off of her. She slowly opened her eyes, fearing the worst. When she did, she took a huge breath of relief. Andrew’s friends were being held off by at least a dozen wolves. Andrew, however, was beneath a huge black wolf. Crystal knew who it was before Aurora told her. It was Drake, Killian’s wolf. She had never seen Andrew in such a submissive stance. She secretly loved it. She knew she was safe. She was on Blood Moon territory and Killian wouldn’t let harm come to her.
Killian got back and immediately warned his guards on border patrol that they may have company. Without thinking, Killian took off towards the border that was closest to Silver Thunder. He felt in his gut and his heart she was coming, and she would need him. He knew his guards were behind him and never slowed down. What he saw was his beautiful mate beneath a brown wolf he guessed was her brother. Drake grew so furious, he leaped at him. Once on top and he knew she was safe, he made sure Andrew knew he wasn’t playing around. He was on his land and he made sure he remembered that. He backed off of him and shifted so he stood on two feet. Andrew followed his lead and also shifted. The guards did not so neither did Andrew’s group. She was too timid to do the same, so she just watched and listened.
“Andrew Johnston, future alpha of Silver Thunder. You are trespassing on Blood Moon territory. I am going to be nice and let you and those with you leave with no punishment. Refuse and I’ll show you why we are called Blood Moon. Let’s not forget my guards and I arrived to see you threatening the life of my mate. Leave now and never return without a formal invitation.”
“I’ll take my sister with me.”
“My mate will stay where she belongs. May I remind you that you are not an alpha and you are not on your territory.”
She saw the defeat in Andrew’s face as he nodded his head and then shifted. He walked back to his group. They left slowly at first and then took off once they reached the border. Once they were well off, the guards stayed at the border, half staying in wolf form.
Killian calmed down and walked over to her. She sat so low and she was shaking. He sat down in front of her and stroked the fur on her head until she relaxed. When she looked up at him, he saw her clear eyes but also saw the pain behind them. He decided to do something to help her feel safe and secure.
“If you will let me, I can carry you home as you are. I can sit with you until you feel ready to shift again.”
He saw her nod her muzzle and scooped her up. He told the guards he would send replacements for them and that the patrols would be tripled until she felt safe here. He walked her back to the packhouse. He mind-linked his Beta, Jake, and warned him of what had happened. He told him they were not to be disturbed until he said otherwise.
She watched and took in his scent as he walked them back to the packhouse. She started to shake as she all the people look at them, but he tightened his grip to make her feel safer. He took them up to three flights of stairs and not once did he waiver. She noted his strength and thank the Moon Goddess for her mate. Once inside the large room, he set her down on the bed and turned and locked the door. He grabbed a chair and sat by the door. He didn’t want to make her nervous by sitting to close and figured if she wanted him near her, she let him know.
Crystal felt cold and exposed with him sitting away from her. She whined in protest until he came sat with her. He laid down next to her and pulled her wolf close. After a while, she dozed off. Once he felt her body relax and he knew she was asleep, he relaxed and let sleep take him.
He hoped when morning came, she would be more relaxed to get to know him and know that she was now safe and where she belonged.

The Alpha's Battered Queen 25.New Beginnings
Destiny felt hopeful about her future after the meeting with Black Heart went so well. She sat in her room on the window seat and looking down into the garden. She saw her mom run out; laughing as she turned around and saw Killian. He was smiling and laughing and nodding his head as he walked up to Crystal. He grabbed her hand she had outstretched to keep him back and he pulled her to him. He wrapped his arms around her and Destiny started to laugh as he started to dance with her. There was no music or anything, they were in their own world. She saw her mother look up at her father with such love in her eyes as they stood there swaying back and forth. Killian pecked kisses all over her face and it made Crystal laugh as they kissed each other passionately and went to sit somewhere in the garden to enjoy each other's company. Destiny realized then that that was what she wanted with Tim. Her parents were the true definition of mates. They were completely different, yet they were perfec
The Alpha's Battered Queen 24. Destiny's Birthday
Six months went by faster than Destiny ever remembered as she and Tim talked non-stop since they found out. They sneaked into the tunnels to see each other but even as impulsive as they both were, they were always mindful of Killian's rule. Timothy had no choice, Killian was Alpha King, but Killian was Destiny's father and she chose to follow his rule. She figured if she broke his one request and something so life-changing, what kind of Luna would that make her. She focused more on what her mother said and did and followed her to every meeting. On small things, Crystal even let her make the decision and put an input in.Today was different. Today there was a meeting of the packs. All Alphas and Lunas would be present and those old enough to attend the meetings that would be alpha or luna next. She knew Alex would go but when Crystal told Destiny she would also go, she was shocked."Mom, this a major meeting.""One that involves you. You will be there."

A few years had gone by since Crystal's breakdown. She had been worried for nothing as the lunas absolutely loved her guidance. Crystal was now standing on her balcony and watching her children play. Destiny was six months away from finding out what her wolf was, and Alex was still a few years from it. Alex had grown more mature since learning and understanding that one day he would take over as Alpha King. His mate would take her place. Destiny just hoped to find her mate, she didn't really care if he was an alpha or not. Destiny was the oldest out of the children her friends had, and she would be the first to turn. Crystal and Kellie kept talking about how close Destiny and Timothy had gotten. They were sure they were mates.Alex was stopped by Killian as he walked out, and Crystal watched him as him as they talked. Alex told Destiny bye and followed Killian inside. Alex had been doing his Alpha training a
The Alpha's Battered Queen 22.New Rulers
************Sorry it took so long for his chapter guys. Needed some inspiration.***********In the weeks that followed their crowning, they had a new sense of responsibility and new energy that flowed through them us they were connected to all the wolves. With this new energy, they couldn't keep their hands off of each other and Killian said it was worse than when they first mated while she was in heat. Every chance they got they were all over one another. It didn't even matter where they were. He'd lock his office and shed lock her. If they were in their bedroom, it was game on for them. Their wolves even did it if they were in their form. It was like they couldn't get enough of each other and they couldn't stop.The day it simmered down, she doesn't remember them ever having sex as much as they did. She followed his scent to their room and saw him standing there. He looked like a sculpted god standing there on the balco
The Alpha's Battered Queen 21.Royal?
Crystal woke up on the morning of the first day of the ball. All her family was still asleep and the rest of the pack was too. She walked outside and took a breath of fresh air. Kellie came over and sat with her on the bench."Good morning, Luna.""Good morning, Luna.""Ready for tonight?""I am but it's a question if the guys are. Killian hates dressing up. I let him get away with wearing his cowboy boots instead of dress shoes. He says if he's going to dress like a monkey, he wants one part of him to be him.""Makes sense. Samuel loves dressing in the suit and tie.""I know that doesn't bother you.""Not at all."Just then, Destiny came walking out and sat next to Crystal."Good morning, darling.""Morning, momma.""Sleep okay?""Yeah."The three of them sat and enjoyed the crisp mountain air as they waited for the men to rise.After about an hour, Crystal walked back inside while Kel
The Alpha's Battered Queen 20.Gathering of Packs
Since the treaty of the packs was signed, it was agreed that once a year, the packs would come together for one grand ball to honor the treaty. There was an old castle up in the mountains that was dedicated for the event. The old couple who lived there were more than willing and happy to host such an event. They were honored their home was chosen and thought it ridiculous that omegas were given to them to help them maintain the castle. The omegas were happy to help and loved living with them. The packs were so numerous and even kids were allowed to attend. Houses were built around the property to accommodate everyone. Each pack had their part of the property to settle on if anyone brought a tent for camping while they were there.Crystal stood and watched everyone pack in the house. Everyone was coming except for the omegas. These next two weeks would be a vacation for them. They enjoyed the time off and thanked the Luna. Crystal walked through the town and saw everyone prepa
