Bjorn awoke the next morning resolved to understand what he’d gotten himself into. His girlfriend was clearly a werewolf, formally initiated into her pack. And now he may become a werewolf himself.

Chelsea’s father, David Pendergast, had suggested that Bjorn speak to his soothsayer, Mr. Gregory Rosewood, at his bookstore downtown. Bjorn had been in the bookstore before, Delphine’s Crystal Emporium, but had never interacted with Mr. Rosewood himself. The eccentric old man had told Bjorn that his

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   Ch. 15 Claiming Rights

    Bjorn, Miriam, the two gardeners, and Chelsea all stood silently looking at each other. No one wanted to be first to break the awkward silence.A knock on the cottage’s faded wooden door disrupted the quiet. Whoever it was didn’t wait long for an answer, firmly rapping again, demonstrating clear intent on being dealt with. Miriam, as the cemetery’s administrative assistant, and thus the real brains behind the cemetery’s operations, took a few steps towards the door, twisted the tarnished brass knob, and pulled the creaky door open. A well-dressed, tall man stood on the cottage’s patio, muscles bulging against the confines of his tailored suit. His dark, flowing, wavy hair draped across his shoulders, contrasting against the olive-colored skin of his neck. He lifted his expensive wire-rimmed sunglasses to the top of his forehead, revealing piercing black eyes.“Good day, Ma’am. Is the caretaker here?” the man said, more of a statement than an actual question.Miriam’s eyes squinted d

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   14. What Have I Gotten Into?

    Bjorn and Chelsea slept well into the morning that day, the sun warming the caretaker’s cottage as the day brightened. The administrative assistant, Miriam, quietly knocked on the caretaker’s bedroom door, opened it tentatively, and saw both of them sprawled out on top of the covers. Neither of them were clothed, so she quickly shut the door again and went about a day opening the caretaker’s cottage on her own.Dottie and Sam, the two gardeners, showed up together. They chatted briefly with Miriam before heading outside. It didn’t take long for them to scurry back in. They had apparently discovered the garden shed, with the leftovers of last night’s struggle for survival still strewn about. “Mr. Harraldson?” Dottie yelled up the stairs. The old bitty was not shy about interrupting people or making a ruckus. She was too old for modesty and had ceased caring about social niceties long ago. “BJORN?” She hollered again, after she got no response the first time.She heard the upstairs bedr

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   13. Love, Unexpected

    Bjorn grabbed a gaudy table lamp in the arranged sitting room, just inside the caretaker’s cottage’s front door. The sitting room was adorned with period furniture dating to the early 1900’s, treated like a museum for those visiting the inside of the cemetery’s administrative headquarters. The lamp was sturdy bronze and carved in the likeness of a winged angel. She had on bikini material, as Victorian 19th century standards would never consider nudity acceptable, even in artwork. Bjorn held the lamp like a club, ready to bash whoever, or whatever, came through the front door.But he noticed that the light in the room was growing. It was finally sunrise, and he had survived the night! Or at least, he was close to surviving it. He stood anxiously waiting and watching the door, breathing hard but starting to ease with each second that ticked by. The sun was coming up.The pounding on the door had abruptly stopped in time with the growing dawn. He heard a scuttling of footsteps on the pa

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   12. Safety at Sunrise

    Where had Chelsea gone? How had she gotten out? Bjorn rolled onto his back, the garden shed’s gritty shingle tiles biting into his skin. He winced out of instinct, then realized it didn’t actually hurt. What a night!, he thought as he lay staring up at the moon. It had to be close to sunrise, as the moon had travelled nearly all the way across the darkened sky. But over the last several hours, he had bound his girlfriend in chains, damn near been killed by her, realized that at least two other werewolves were prowling the cemetery, barely escaped with his life, and healed his own wounds. What else could happen?He ran both hands through his hair, closing his eyes, deep breaths to calm his tattered nerves.A subtle huffing below him brought him out of his meditation. He opened his eyes, listening intently for whatever was down there. He could hear heavy breathing, and determined sniffing like a dog investigating a rabbit hole. A warning growl sounded, but not from the sniffer. The

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   11. Binding the Wounds

    Bjorn collapsed onto his back, chest heaving, gasping for breath. The full moon’s spotlight upon his tattered body revealed a myriad of injuries.His chest was torn asunder from Chelsea’s claw swipe, and his left calf and ankle were streaked with angry red slashes. Blood poured forth from his wounds, made worse from the shock he was going into.He had to get his breathing under control. He bent his knees, and placed his hands at his sides. He was an avid yoga practitioner so he was no neophyte when it came to meditation. It only took a few calming moments for him to come back into himself. The bright moonlight was strangely serene, and the cemetery had gone quiet. He lay on his back, eyes closed, and made himself part of his surroundings. He heard nothing. He felt nothing as his mind settled.Then a curious thing happened. He felt a stitch in his side, a gentle tingle where Chelsea’s claws had ripped at him. He propped himself onto his elbows and sat in amazement as his side seemed to

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   10. Too Close for Comfort

    Chelsea eyed the man cooly, relishing him squirming in the discarded, filthy chair. He was naked, his spent cock jiggling with each of his movements. She could tell that he was about to run for his life. As he should. She was going to have him for dinner tonight. Her first meal had just treated himself to her chained body and he was now going to pay the ultimate price. She had one hand free and was determined to release the other from its bonds. The chains rattled as she worked, the man dancing anxiously with each jostle of chain. He knew his end was near.Just then, a wispy cloud covered the moon and darkened the garden shed. She heard the movement and yipped in alarm as the man flashed passed her. He had bolted for the door of the garden shed and was fumbling with the lock. He had barred the entry to keep them both in, and now he couldn’t get out. Not fast enough anyway.Should she know this man? He looked vaguely familiar, but her mind felt all scrambled. Her body felt amazing– st

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   6. A Troublesome Reality

    Bjorn didn’t make it very far. He lurched as if in a drunken nightmare, the sound of dozens of bare feet thumping on the stone floor as they overtook him. He went down in a pile of naked, hairy bodies. Male, female, no matter. They were all over him, wrestling him to the cold floor and tearing at

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   5. An Unwelcome Gathering

    Silent shadows flitted across the room, illuminated by the streetlamp just outside the cemetery gates. It was an otherwise dark night, the waning crescent moon nearing its third quarter. Bjorn lay quietly, sure he had heard something. Yes! There it was again– the ringing squeak of rusty iron hinge

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   2. Living in a Graveyard

    Bjorn stepped gingerly from the shower, the steaming water searing his back unexpectedly. He wiped his hand across the mirror, turned for a glance and recoiled in painful horror. Crimson, swollen, animalistic scratches ran the length of his spine. He didn’t remember Chelsea latching on, but that gi

  • The Moon Shines Darkly   1. A Romp Amongst the Headstones

    Bjorn needed to adjust his stance. His knees, straining from kneeling for so long, screamed in agony. He gasped, as much in pain as in pleasure.He clasped her hands, fingers interlocking, and pushed them stretching beyond her head as he fell forward. She arched her back, breasts jiggling as they r
