The dark moon

Titus .

Alex POV

It’s been two weeks since the box was left for Alisa in her and Cam’s room, nothing has happened since, and that scared me. I know that they're out there waiting for her, waiting for that perfect moment to strike. We haven’t just been sitting around twiddling our thumbs, though.

Cam has taken training up a notch. Everyone who is able to has started to train now. At first, a lot of the pack members moaned, but now everyone is enjoying it. They have noticed how beneficial it has been to them to be faster, more agile, and stronger. More pack members have asked to become pack warriors as well which is going to make us one of the largest and strongest packs. We have never forced anyone to becoming a pack warrior but everyone of them wants to fight for their pack and that is something that makes me proud to be a part of this pack.

Leah was sentenced to 10 years in the elder's prison for her part in helping the demon. I personally think she deserved death, but Cam and Alisa wanted her to have a fair trial. The elders decided her fate and took her last week. Dragon Isle Correctional Facility was notorious for being the most horrendous prison a supernatural could get sent to. The elders made sure that the prisoners there got to relive their own personal hell thanks to a witch. Each prisoner would have to relieve the worst day of their lives for the rest of their time left on earth. I had only heard stories but the stories alone were enough to keep me on the straight and narrow.

After the demon managed to get onto the territory, Katrina has been casting a protection spell every day. She placed crystals all around the border of the territory and every day she says a spell to strengthen them. Chloe has been helping her since she’s also a witch she wants to learn.

Things with me and Chloe have been going great as well. She actually kissed me the other day, and it blew my f.ucking mind. I’ve also moved back into my own room with her last week and it’s pure torture to be in the same bed as her but not be able to do anything else but I respect her too much and want her to feel safe with me, so I’m happy and content with how things are at the moment.

*Hey Al. Alisa wants a big family meal tonight. Are you and Chloe free to join?*

*Yeah sure Cam, I'll let Chloe know*

I was about to cut him off when I heard him again

*She already knows man, they have taken over my office* I chuckled to myself. Alisa has gotten a good friendship circle here, Sam, Jordyn, Imogen, and my Chloe. She is with them all the time unless she’s with Cam and it’s really nice to see. I was worried when she first got here in case she didn’t make any friends, but now she has an amazing group of them. Everyone loves Alisa in the pack as well. She was definitely meant to be Luna.

“Hey man, are you on your way to see Cam?” Mason ran up to me.

“Yeah, all the girls have taken over Cam's office again,”

“He needs to get Alisa her own office. "

“That’s a great idea you should tell him. "

“I will man” we both walked to Cam's office and knocked.

“Come in,” Cam said you could tell he was p.issed but he just couldn’t say no to Alisa, especially after she froze him out the last time he did.

“Hey, we got some info from the prisoner from the asylum,” Mason said. I looked at him, relief flooding me. That guy was a tough son of a b.itch and we had to go to extreme lengths to get him to talk. The starving must have worked.

“Well, what do you know?” Cam asked. All the girls had stopped and were looking over at Mason as well. I caught Chloe looking over at me, I smiled at her whilst winking, making her blush.

“Well, apparently the murders had a purpose” I saw Chloe tense up, so I walked over and took her in my arms.

“What she did to your friend Chloe was a ritual to help her conceive a child.” Mason looked over at Chloe with sorrow in his eyes.

“The last day I was there she did look pregnant, but it didn’t make sense because the day before she was as flat as an ironing board,” Chloe said, sadness thick in her voice.

“The ritual was to bring about a demon baby, so it makes sense it wouldn’t be as long as a normal pregnancy,” Mason replied.

“What the f***k” Alisa said. She walked over to Cam's desk and sat on his lap. He tightened his grip around her waist.

“Ok, anything else?” Cam asked Mason.

“Yes, the f.uckers will be back, but he doesn’t know when or how since we caught him. "

“Ok, he’s no use to us now. I’ve had the order from the elders and he’s to be executed tonight,” Cam said.

“Do you know his name?” Chloe asked.

“Titus,” Mason replied, looking confused by her question.

“Can I watch? That f.ucker tortured me and tried to r**e me. I want to see him die,” she sounded determined and who am I to stop her after all she’s been through?

*Are you sure you want her to see that* Cam mind linked me.

*It might give her the closure she needs*

Cam nodded his head in agreement.

"OK”

Chloe POV

When I heard it was Titus, my blood ran cold. That son of a b.itch put me through hell and I wanted to watch the life leave his eyes.

“Are you sure about this?” Alex asked me.

“Yes, I’m positive,”

“Ok” he took my hand, and we walked towards the cells. Waiting by the cell door were Cam, Mason, and Malcolm. Mason opened the door, and I walked in behind them. I stood behind Alex, taking deep breaths, and counted to three. I stepped from behind Alex and Titus was kneeling on the floor with his hands chained to his waist and his feet chained to a wall. He looked up at me as if sensing my presence.

“You b.itch. I should have f.ucking killed you when I had the chance!” Alex stormed over to him and punched him in the face, the force from the punch sent him flying back into the wall and his eye looked like it was already swelling, Cam, Mason, and Malcolm all growled at him.

“You will not talk to her or look at her, do you understand me?” Cam said. Titus didn’t say anything; he spat blood out at the ground near my feet.

“So be it. Titus McBride, you are hereby sentenced to death by order of the Alpha. Do you have any last words?” Mason stepped forward and said.

“You. Are. All. Going. To. Die.” With that, Malcolm shifted into his wolf. It was a huge grey wolf with red paws and red tips on his ears. It was a beautiful creature. As he stepped forward, Titus closed his eyes and Malcolm lunged for his head, biting it clean off his body. Titus’s body fell to the ground and twitched. Blood pooled around him. Malcolm spat his head onto the floor, and Cam opened the door for Malcolm to leave.

“Burn the body,” Cam said and walked out.

“You guys go. I'll sort this out,” Mason offered, so we left the cells and headed up to our room.

“Are you ok?” Alisa, Sam, and Jordyn asked me when I walked into the dining room.

“I'm great, I really am. It brought me peace to see him take his last breath. Does that make me sick?” I asked the girls.

“f***k no it doesn’t, that f.ucker deserved everything he got!” Sam said, Alisa and Jordyn, nodding their heads in agreement.

Dinner was great, everyone laughing and talking. Katrina had become friends with Lilly, June, and Faye and it made me feel warm inside to see her with them. In the short amount of time I’ve known her, I’ve come to love her. It's weird to think I had a loving mother out there all that time. I’ve not a clue why I was taken by Cheryl (my fake mom) but Alex has told me he will help me find out as soon as the demon is taken care of.

After we had all eaten and said goodnight Alex took my hand and led me upstairs. He has been such a gentleman and I’m finally ready to take things to the next level with him.

“Alex, will you mark me?” He stopped and stared at me, completely taken by surprise at my question.

“It's ok if you don’t want to, '' he cut me off and pulled me into a bone-crushing hug.

“Of course, I want to, I’ve wanted to mark you since I first saw you. Are you sure this is what you want?” He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear and when his fingers brushed across my face it felt like tiny fireworks exploded on my face.

“Yes, Alex I’m sure. I want to be with you now and forever.” His lips crashed into mine, devouring me and I just melted. He lifted me up bridal style, kicked the door open, and carried me inside whilst kicking the door shut behind us.
