We can sense if a person is supernatural, but we can’t easily tell which species they are exactly. “We are banished,” I simply said, gauging his reaction. He just shrugs like it’s nothing. “It doesn’t bother you that we are banished?” Rave asked in disbelief. “Not really. I’m a lone wolf, and I’
There wasn’t much to talk about after everything poured out of King. After our conversation, Raven invited him for dinner. I wasn’t in any position to help, so King and Raven took care of everything. After having our meal, I went straight to sleep. My body was tired and wired at the same time. I wa
I love coffee; it is my lifeline, but since we learned I was pregnant, Raven has limited the amount I take. His things are already packed, but he is seated, and he looks mighty frustrated. “I was going to leavee. I’d even gotten my things and was about to leave, but something inside me stopped me.
Alec. It’s been a couple of weeks since Sadie died and Piper left the pack. Things have been fucking terrible, and I don’t even know how the hell I’m going to fix everything that is happening. The pack is getting weaker as the days go by. A few days ago, there was a rogue attack, and we almost fuc
“Good evening, Alpha; I’m here on behalf of the other elders,” he bows slightly. Unlike what humans think, elders aren’t above the Alpha. Sure, they are above other pack members, but they aren’t above the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and their mates. They also aren’t involved in the daily politics of the pa
Anonymous POV I walked through the hallway of my dark castle, a smile on my face. Everything was going according to plan. Everything was going my way, and I couldn’t help but be happy. It's been a long time since I’ve been happy. A long time since I’ve been this excited about anything. I can’t wai
Sadie I walked through the forest, feeling the effects of the full moon. Its power was around me, shifting like a caged animal. I could feel it inside me. On my skin and in my bones. I’ve waited for this day since I knew who we were. What we turn into. I’ve been waiting for this day since I knew w
“I don’t get it, so she told you that you'd have all the benefits of a shifted wolf, but you won’t be able to shift?” King asked incredulously, his face conveying how hard he was finding it hard to believe me. I nodded my head, still reeling from what Nyx had told me. I’d stayed in the forest fo
I don’t say anything. Just turned back and continued staring at nothing.I pretended that his presence wasn’t affecting me. Pretended that I was okay and that every fiber in my being wasn’t vibrating. I was fighting the pull despite Nyx telling me not to. I was used to fighting it since we learned t
The room was too quiet. Aspen had fallen asleep the moment her head touched the pillow, her monkey and elephant clutched tightly in her little arms. I watched her for a long moment, brushing a few stray strands of hair from her forehead. Her tiny mouth hung open just a little, breath even and soft.
The rest of the visit passed in a blur of giggles and tiny hands pressed to glass enclosures. Aspen’s favorites were the baby goats. She got to feed one, and when it nibbled her fingers, she laughed so hard she had to sit down.Alec was right there beside her, brushing dirt off her knees, and I stoo
We got out of the car. The air smelled like pine and sunshine, and Aspen was practically dragging us toward the enclosures before we’d even paid the entrance f*e.“Looook!” she squealed. “That one’s got a funny tail!”“That’s a lemur,” Alec said, keeping pace with her tiny footsteps. “They live in M
SadieThe next day came sooner than I had expected or prepared for. I was still on cloud nine after shifting into our other state. It felt so good. Like I had unlocked something fierce. Something divine. After Alec left, I practiced more and each time it became easier than the last.My mind occasion
“I didn’t tell anyone,” he replied with a shrug. “I was ashamed. But eventually, I realized I couldn’t fight him forever. So, I stopped trying to control him, and I just… accepted him. I accepted that Knox was a part of me. I embraced the power of an Alpha and I allowed myself to merge with my wolf.
SadieThe wind danced around me, soft but persistent, stirring the tall grass that brushed against my legs. It was cool, yet beads of sweat trailed down my spine, clinging to my shirt as if they were trying to remind me just how much effort I was putting into this. My heart pounded, not from exertio
I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. The silence stretched until it felt like it would choke me.“You don’t have to say anything,” he said gently. “I’m not telling you to give him a chance, Sadie. That’s your choice. But I think… I think it’s time to stop hiding.”“Hiding?” I repeated, my voice hollow.“You
Sadie.I’d just come from a run. Sleep had been a distant thought, elusive and half-formed, slipping from my grasp every time I closed my eyes. My mind had been too full of everything and nothing. When day came, and I still couldn’t get any sleep, I decided to go for a run to clear my head before I
