The Dark Side of the Moon

F I F T Y - T H R E E

Another update! Sorry it took me longer than usual, I didn't mean to leave you guys hanging like that. Last week and this week I had finals so I've been focusing on that. I'll have a lot more time to write over the holidays, so this story should be wrapping up pretty soon :(

I have ideas for a prequel and a sequel to this story, which I'll talk about in an upcoming chapter. I think both would make pretty interesting stories, so I'll ask you guys which one you'd like me to write first!

Thanks for reading, commenting, and voting on my story! I can't believe that DSOTM is at 850k! When I started this book, it took me like 10 chapters just to reach 1k and I CELEBRATED WHEN THAT HAPPENED. GUYS ASDFGHJ I CAN'T! THANK YOUUUU

Alright that's it. Love you all!

Saying goodbye to my mom wasn't easy. She cried and begged me to stay with her. She said she didn't want to lose two daughters and wished there was another way to get Evie back. With a quick shake of my head, she knew the decision was made. Also, it's not like she could have stopped me- I'm surrounded by werewolves who do what I say.

The pack shifts to their wolf forms, and I ride on Grayson's back as he leads our pack to the borders of the coven's main house. This gives me a lot of time to reflect on my past mistakes. It seems like so long ago that I discovered Grayson's true form, and even longer since we met. It's so ridiculous thinking back to when I was afraid of him- he could never hurt me or anyone that he loves.

He has made so many sacrifices for me, and once we get Evie back, it's time that I really begin to make sacrifices for him. The moment I have Evie back in my arms, I'll begin to study what it means to be a Luna. I can do schoolwork and be leader of one of the strongest werewolf packs in North America. Easy peasy.

Okay, not easy peasy, but I want to be closer to the pack. To Grayson. They treat each other like a family and do whatever is necessary to protect one another. Without a second thought, they followed Gray's orders to help rescue my little sister. They didn't do it because he's their Alpha, they did it because they respect and love him.

The closer we get to the main house, the more fear fills my veins. Will we get there in time? Will Eli be powerful enough to undo the wards? Will we be enough?

A short snuff sounds from Gray's snout. He turns his head for a moment, his blue-gray eyes briefly locking onto mine. A signal of comfort. He tells me without words that Evie will be fine, that we will defeat the threat and be safe from harm. Somehow I find this hard to believe.

The house comes into view and Grayson stumbles to a halt. The wolves behind us follow suit until we are twenty wolves strong standing before the house. We wait for Eli's signal.

I slide off of Gray's back and watch as he and two other wolves sidle off into the clearing behind him. The clothes tied to their hind legs drag along the grass as they find a place to quickly change. Moments later, Grayson comes back with Cooper and Axel trailing behind him. They are the only wolves in the pack who will enter the house in their human form. Everyone else will be fighting the witches and warlocks as wolves.

Once Eli signals that the wards are down, his coven will instantly know. This will lead to all of the coven members with defensive powers to face off against the wolves. They will form their own protective wards that the wolves will attempt to disarm by attacking swiftly. If the wolves can get to the witches and warlocks in time, the coven members will be too injured to create wards of protection. However, no wards will be as powerful as the original one Eli takes down. He claims that they aren't strong enough to recreate the ward Elina had previously created.

This will act as a distraction as the four of us sneak through the back and run straight to the room Evie is being held in. In case we run into trouble, I will be used as "leverage." That's plan B which we hopefully won't have to use. However, I'm willing to risk it.
