  Prologue

  95 B.C.

  Theron sits on the rocky shore by sea looking up at the Moon, for he knew she was something special. Something that defies time and logic. He knew that the Gods would send her to him. For she was always meant to be his. He just had to learn how to reach her. He leaned his head back and howled at the moon, wishing she would come to him.

  Selene, the moon Goddess, heard the wolf's cries that called to her heart. She went down to Earth and found her mate.

  Everything in their world seemed to be at peace until Minos, the demon minion of Hades, destroyed their lives. He was determined to never let them be as one.

  Fate and Time had other plans.

  This is the ages old story of how the Wolf and the Moon became one.

  One

  Luna Oakes

  “What the fuck was I thinking? Who the fuck throws a party to meet a guy? Could I be any more cliché?” I say out loud as I look at the black, silver and dark purple decorations expertly placed along the foyer. The decorators really did an amazing job. I walk across the marble floor towards the front door excited about the night to come. Tonight I am hosting the first annual Halloween ball in my small town of Manchester, New York. When I first proposed the idea to the mayor he was skeptical, but when I told him I would foot the cost for the entire party he couldn’t refuse.

  I have no idea what I’m doing. I have no business throwing a huge party, let alone one where I’m basically inviting trouble to walk into the only home I have ever known. No one, besides the Oakes family, has been in the mansion. Not even a maid or butler has been here since before my mother passed away just after I was born. Eight months ago, my granny died leaving me the only living member of the Oakes family.

  Outsiders have been trying for years to get into the legendary Oakes Mansion trying to come up with any excuse to get in. Well, they are finally getting that chance tonight. It is nestled deep in the woods of Manchester. People from miles away, hell, even states away know about the haunted mansion in upstate New York. The Haunted Mansion that is said to be the house of death. My spirit fingers are in full force as I roll my eyes just thinking about it.

  The Mansion isn't the only reason everyone comes here though, no it is the town itself. They say you can hear haunting cries from those who have disappeared through the woods years ago, never to be seen again. That every full moon you hear wolves howling in the night but they aren't just any wolves. They are huge wolves that are as big as cars. Some people claim to see apparitions of children playing near the tree line by the road. They allegedly are asking people if they “want to play?”

  Then there is the scariest of them all. Vampires who are out to suck the blood of those who dare go on their land. The people who have escaped those dreadful woods never come out the same. “Ha!” I snicker out loud. Every time they come up with a new story it is more extravagant than the last. It amazes me what people can come up with, the stories that they tell. Although the wolf stories are true there hasn't been a pack here in over twenty years.

  Our little town is small but full of life and character. We just so happen to have a lot of weird supernatural shit that happens here. It’s one of the only reasons I haven't moved. It’s the only place I don’t feel judged about who I am or what I can do. It’s not like I can control my visions. God, how I wish I could control them. Do you know how awkward it is to have a blackout in the freezer section at the grocery store about a beast of a man with dark violet eyes and sinful lips telling me that “I am coming for you?”

  They're so vivid that I can practically feel his breath teasingly whisper against my skin while I’m in public. With every passing month, my visions have been increasingly erotic and more frequent. So much so that I haven't left the house in two days, my entire body is like a live wire waiting to explode at any moment. Which brings me back to why I am throwing this damn thing.

  I have been waiting five months for tonight the night my beast finally comes for me. Five months ago, I turned eighteen. That night, I knew for the first time he was coming for me. The man who is meant to be my forever.

  We are at the lake, the sun shining on us as I sit on a blanket. My hand cradling my swollen belly as I look at how beautiful the sunset is. That's when I feel his strong hands wrap around me and his breath teasing my skin right below my ear making goosebumps run along my arms and my pussy dampen. I can't help the moan that comes out of my mouth as he lays a small kiss on my neck. He chuckles and does it again. I bite my lip to keep from moaning out again. “Lună Mică do you need something? You need only ask and I shall give it to you. I can smell your arousal. Do you want my fat cock in your tight cunt or maybe I should lick that pretty pussy of yours until you cream all over my tongue?” he growls before nipping my shoulder.

  I came back to myself gasping feeling as though my heart is going to beat out of my chest. My thighs clench and I whimper as I feel how wet my panties are for a man that isn't even here yet. When I have my visions, they feel so real it is like I am at that point in time. They aren't always of the future though. In fact, a lot of them are about the past, a past I don't understand. My granny said it was because I have an old soul and that I am wise beyond my years, but every time she said that I could tell she was keeping something from me.

  You see, every woman in my family for, well always, has been gifted with second sight. My granny said that I am the only one that has ever been able to see the past, which makes me “special.”

  When I was ten, I got my first vision while I was sleeping. That night I dreamed of war, Vikings, of death, an
d destruction when I should have been dreaming of ponies and rainbows. I woke screaming, with tears running down my face. It was awful. That's how my granny knew I was different.

  When I was young, I hated who I was. I hated that I was different and that no one understood me. Fuck, I didn't even understand it myself. Hell, I still don’t fully understand any of it...

  I scoff, coming back to the present. I look at myself in the floor to ceiling mirror by the door and run my fingers through my long dark hair. I should probably put some mascara and maybe a little bit of lip gloss. I shrug at myself and twirl a lock of hair around my finger. Who the hell cares what I look like, I only care what he thinks.

  Plus, I have plenty of time to get ready for tonight. The party won’t start until after the Halloween Festival has ended. Josh and his husband Elijah are meeting me there so we can hang out. I’ve been dying to ride the Ferris wheel. It is one of my favorite traditions that I always do when it's the Halloween festival. Every time I get on one, I feel the most alive and at peace, for the ten minutes, I’m closest to the moon. I was so nervous about tonight that I didn't want to go but Josh told me that he would drag me out of the house kicking and screaming if I didn't get my ass ready.

  When I said that I would go he promised that they would have me back before the party began and not to worry. I hear them honk the horn and walk out the door, shutting it behind me.

  Gabriel Vilkas

  The moment I step foot in Manchester, a calm washes over me for the first time in years. My wolf and I know our Mate is here, I can feel it deep in my bones. I have been searching for her for the last five months. The town is in full swing of its Halloween festivities it looks as though everyone that lives in Manchester has come out today.

  There are food trucks lining the streets. The left side of town looks as though there is a fair going on with a merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and a petting zoo. It looks like Halloween threw up all over the town. None of that holds my interest though. As if I am pulled by an invisible thread my feet move on their own and I find myself walking towards the tent right past the trucks. I hear low country music playing. The minute I step through the open flaps, I smell her sweet scent. Cherry blossoms and sugar hits my nose and my wolf stands at attention.

  I glance around the room. My eyes roam over several females, but they don’t feel right. Finally, I spot her in the arms of another man, dancing to a two-step. Her head is thrown back in laughter. The man is standing entirely too close to my Mate. I cannot help the growl that erupts from my body as I make my way over to them. The closer I get the more I see red. No man is allowed to touch her and I'm instantly insanely jealous of the carefree smile that she gives him. No other man should make her smile like that besides me.

  I make it to them quickly and only barely manage not to throw him across the room as I tap his shoulder.

  “May I cut in?” I say through clenched teeth. My gorgeous Mate gasps, looking up at me with wide eyes. Her mouth slightly agape.

  “You’re here,” she whispers, her head tilting back more to meet my eyes. The man looks between us both, scrunching his eyebrows.

  “Do you know him, Luna?” Dickhead demands.

  She blushes “Thank you for the dance, Josh,” she says as she leans forward and kisses his cheek. The growl that comes from me is threatening, causing him to quickly let go of her, and put his hands up, slowly backing away. “Uh, I’ll talk to you later Lu.” Yeah, there is no way in fuck that will be happening.

  “Whoa,” she whispers, in awe. I wrap my arms around her and bring her flat against my body. For the first time in my life, my wolf and I are in complete peace. “You're really here?” she questions as a slow song comes on.

  “How do you know who I am?” I ask as we sway to the music.

  She blushes and dips her head. “I uh saw you.”

  My wolf instantly notices that she is not telling the whole truth. “Luna, how do you know who I am?”

  She clears her throat and looks up at me. “I had a vision that you were coming, but I didn't want to get my hopes up that it was truly going to come to fruition.”

  My eyebrows shoot up. “You have second sight?”

  “Yep, trust me it's not all that it's cracked up to be,” she says with a sigh.

  “Do you know anything else about me, Lună Mică?” I ask tipping my head down closer to her mouth.

  She licks her lips and puts her arms around my shoulders. “I know that I am supposed to be yours.”

  Fuck, I growl and finally kiss her sweet lips. I only mean to place a light kiss, but the minute she moans my cock hardens as she melts into me. Her soft, curvy, body fits with mine perfectly. I can't help myself. I lick the seam of her lips before thrusting my tongue into her mouth. She whimpers, clinging to me.

  Someone nearby clears their throat, and I growl at the interruption. Reluctantly, I pull away from our kiss to look at the person who interrupted us. Luna giggles burying her face into my shirt.

  “Um… Sir, I am going to have to ask you to tone down the PDA. This is a family event.” Luna gets ahold of herself and goes to pull out of my arms. I grumble and pull her back she laughs and turns around.

  “Sorry, Mayor Dickels. I completely forgot where we were.”

  “I’m sorry, Sir. I forgot my place. I’m Gabe.”

  “Don’t you worry any Gabe, I remember the first time I met my Missy. I couldn’t keep my hands to myself either. I still can’t, just reel it in a tad with the kids around,” he says chuckling. Luna turns bright red.

  “Yes, Sir.” We both say at the same time. Making him laugh. As he walks away I turn her toward me.

  “Do you want to dance or would you like to get out of here?” My voice sounds husky even to my own ears.

  “I know someplace we can go where it feels like we are on top of the world.”

  “My Sweet Lună Mică, I already feel that way just with you in my arms.” She gives me the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

  “Come with me.” She grabs my hand and practically drags me out of the tent. My eyes are glued to her magnificent ass. My already hard cock throbs achingly against my jeans. I don't know where we're going, hell I don't even care. I would follow her to the ends of the Earth if she asked me to. We make our way through the crowd. Several people stop to say hello to Luna and I. The irrational part of me is starting to hate everyone. My wolf and I are tired of sharing our woman. I just want to go someplace where it is just us.

  “Stop growling, big boy, we will be there soon I promise.” She giggles, looking up at me her light green eyes dancing with amusement. I smile at her sheepishly.

  “I’m sorry love, I just want you all to myself.” She leans into me and kisses my cheek.

  “Don't worry Gabe, I’m not going anywhere.”

  Luna

  Oh My God! I can’t believe he is here. The minute I heard his voice, I knew he was the man I have been waiting for. He is beautiful. I know no man wants to be labeled as that, but fuck, he is. There is no other way to describe him. He is at least a foot taller than my five foot five frame. I love it, just standing next to him I feel protected and delicate.

  He has short black hair that is just long enough to see some curls on the top. His eyes are so uniquely beautiful. I've never seen violet eyes before. They swirl with a dark blue. I swear every time he looks at me I feel like he can see into my soul. Don’t even get me started on his body all I can say is yum.

  I grab his hand and practically run towards the Ferris wheel.

  “Where are we going?” he asks, chuckling as we get in line.

  “Up there,” I tell him with a big time as I look up to the top of the ride. He visibly pales and I start to regret taking him here. I don’t want him to be uncomfortable. “We don’t have to go if you don’t want to, ” I tell him as the line starts to move forward.

  “No, no I’m all good,” he says clearing his throat.

  �
��Are you sure?” I ask concerned.

  “Yeah, as long as you keep me distracted I’ll be good and I don't see that being a problem,” he says giving me a smile. I can tell he doesn't want to let me down but I really want to go maybe if I just get him up there he will be okay.

  “I promise to be the best distraction ever.” He laughs at my giddiness as I skip to the ticket taker I have to hold in a groan when I see who is taking them.

  Clayton Willcox has been trying to get me to go out with him since we were in high school. He’s not bad looking, I just have never been interested in sex. I was starting to think that there was something wrong with me but with the way, I feel when Gabe’s arms are around me I am beginning to think it’s because my heart and soul knew I was waiting for him all along.

  “Hi Luna, how are you doing? Did you save me that dance?” Clayton asks, not even looking at me. He is shooting daggers at Gabe. My eyebrows scrunched up as I think back on earlier in the day. I don't remember him asking me to dance and if he had asked I would have said no. I always say no when someone asks me to dance. The only reason I danced with Josh is that he has been one of my best friends since I was a little girl.

  Gabe growls and pulls me closer to him. I look up at him a little shocked. That does not sound like a human growl.

  “Uh…” I’m about to ask him what the hell that was when a kid behind us starts crying and asking why it was taking so long. Clayton gives me another tight smile and lets us pass through. We get on the ride and I look over at Gabe as we start to go around.

  “What are you?” I ask, tilting my head.

  “What do you think I am?” he asks.
