Obsession (Temple of Luna, Story 2)

The Temple of Luna stories are a series of novellas set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans and werewolves wage endless war, and werewolf warriors broken on the battlefield must be healed by women strong enough to tame them.

Originally written in 2009 and 2010, these short novellas were our second attempt at playing with a twist on the old (often problematic) "sexual healing" trope. The first attempt (literally titled Sexual Healing because an editor encouraged it, which was probably a terrible title for a book about psychics in space) has also been consigned to the archive. If you do manage to get your hands on it, you can see the evolution of our attempts to poke at it. It lays the groundwork for several dynamics we explore later on, however!

Fair warning: we were increasingly on the outs with our publisher of these stories as the series progressed. The final novella ends quite abruptly, as did our relationship with said epublisher. That is another reason these stories ended up in the archive.

(The titles also originally were SAVAGE [CURRENT TITLE], and that is a trope--and a word--we've decided is definitely best left behind. Growth is a glorious thing.)

Obsession

Zahra has devoted her life to serving Luna. The savage needs of the werewolf warriors can take their toll, and she serves as a healer, treating not only her fellow priestesses but anyone in need. Still, she’s never seen anyone so wounded as Jarek, an old friend who’s been through hell–and who doesn’t seem to remember her.

Jarek was always considered the most civilized wolf in his unit, a rare healer trained in werewolf magic as well as the medicine of their human enemies. When an injury shatters his self-control, the beast inside him takes over, leaving only the wolf. A wolf who remembers the scent of the mate he always needed…and is determined to claim her at any cost.
