The shaman took my hand in her hand, pulling me to her feet. I followed her closely, observing the scenes in front of me and taking in how the coven worked.They seemed enthralled with herbs and plants; one of the triplets was trimming a bush. She threw a quick glance at me and continued what she was doing.We moved slowly, mostly because the shaman had to lean on me. Her cane clacked every time it got to the ground, the noise loud in the otherwise quiet room.We got to the stream, and she gestured for me to sit. “Long ago,” she began, “the moon came down to earth to visit.”The origin of shifters. I was aware of this.“When she came, she encountered men, a rough group of people. She had not come as the moon; you see, she had come as a white wolf. Her fur shined so brightly, even miles away she could be seen.”She looked up at the tree and dipped her hand in it, swirling it around.“Look child,” she said.I stared at the water and saw a wolf very similar to mine. I knew it was Luna.“

I screamed loudly, tugging at the hand dragging me into the dark room. My hands tugged at it, somehow it wrapped tighter around my wrist.“Stop screaming, you'll kill the hilly billies.” The hand dragging me belonged to Donae.“Oh, Luna, you scared the shit out of me.” I put my hand to my chest, rubbing at my wrist. That would be sore later, for sure.“You have a strong grip,” I said. She nodded and started walking into the room, I followed closely.Suddenly, the room became brighter, rays of sun coming in from large windows at each side. It was a garden. There were many plants, trees, and little birds singing. A large tree in the middle rose up through the opening in the roof. The plants somehow seemed alive, and I had no idea what they were.Donae walked towards a table at a corner, there was a book open midair. She wore black jeans and a crop top that molded to her skin, making her runes shine even more against the reflection of the sun. Her long, dark hair was in tiny ropes behin

What was he saying? I stared at Alex, refusing to break eye contact. The whole dining room was silent, like everyone was waiting for the Alpha to go berserk on me. His eyes were hard, and his jaw set in stubbornness. That jaw, I wouldn't mind rubbing my fingers on it.“I did not start any war,” I slowly spoke. “I did not even have a wolf until you came into my pack, and did some voodoo on me, told me all sorts of rubbish, and drugged me-”“Nobody drugged you,” he cut in, “it was just some sleeping powder.”He corked his head at me, the sun reflecting on those pupils. “I do not care. I am not here with my permission, so refrain from referring to me as your mate.”“Are you rejecting me, little wolf?”. I felt the stare of everyone around me, but damned if I'll let him think he could control me because of some bond that I had not yet felt.“I do not know you. There is nothing to reject.”Daia chuckled a bit, obviously pleased with what I was saying. Which was good. I needed some friendly

I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting to the light that was so bright. Where was I, and how many days have I been asleep?Blinking rapidly, I realized two things.I had been drugged. Whatever Donae blew on my face was so strong I had lost my consciousness.I was in a strange place.I heard voices coming into the room and decided to act like I was still passed out.“She has been sleeping for three days now, a female said. “What did you guys do to her?” the voice questioned.“Donae just blew some sleeping powder on her. How did we expect her to be passed out for three whole days?” The second voice was Alex.Three days?? I had been sleeping for three days.I relaxed my muscles, trying to still my heart. “She should be waking up within hours,” the voice said, sounding frustrated.“Well, they kept her pretty shielded there. She had no access to herbs before, so she is feeling the effects more.”A hand touched my face so softly that if I wasn't awake, I wouldn't have noticed.“She looks beauti

“Restrain him!” Screamed Alex. I froze, watching Buick struggle in the hands of a strange man.His eyes were white, no pupils, and he kept whispering something.“We didn't finish it,” he moaned loudly, fell, and started sobbing. Everyone was shaking, cries of children echoing.“What is going on?” I asked. This festival was going so differently from everyone's expectations.“Clarissa”I turned to my mother. Her eyes had turned white like Buick's. “You are going to die,” she screamed, and then collapsed.What the actual fuck?Alex signaled to two wolves, and they quickly shifted. Tieing up Alpha Buick and my mom, they shifted back to wolves, waiting for their Alpha's command.“People of Grey Wolves Clan,” Alex started, “as you can see, you've been lied to.”He looked at everyone. “I am here to set you free. Free to be shifters; there's no need to hide anymore.”We weren't hiding. Yeah, sure, we were different from other shifters, but we didn't hide. We shifted within pack lands and wen

What was this voice? I didn't have a wolf. Alex still held my face in his hands, looking down at me. He pulled his lips back, showing two sharp teeth.“MATE”, he whispered back. My eyes bulged wide, no way he heard the voice.“Who are you? I don't like asking twice,” he asked.“I am Clarissa, there has been confusion, and I can't be your mate.”His hand was starting to hurt. I pried at it, removing it successfully, and I moved my jaw around. Did this asshole want to break my jaw?“You are my mate, I wasn't expecting to find you here, but you are mine.” He had to be delusional. I didn't belong to anyone. I ignored him and went towards my mom, shocked at how she was doubled over in tears, snot dripping over her face. It seemed she had something she was scared of.Buick went to where Alex stood, squaring his shoulders and lifting his chin up, like he wanted to challenge him. “What do you want?” He asked.“Your people stole this land from my people. I am taking it back.”Why did he say th
