It’s been a little over thirty minutes since I, or rather, we, left the dungeon. The moment those words left Brian’s lips, everything in me froze, and I could not concentrate on questioning him further.Raven, seeing my distress, followed me out, while Alec, Micah and Jason stayed behind. Alec had r
“I’m not sure,” I answer him truthfully.Jason goes to speak, but Alec cuts him off. “We are going off-topic.”“Right,” I reply awkwardly while facing him.“Back to the premonition you had.”“Well, I thought it was a dream until Raven made me realize that it might just be a premonition,” I tell them
“No,” I whispered. “That’s not a possibility.”My whole body trembled as everything in me denied what was being said. I stared at him sightlessly as my mind tried to come up with anything that could shut down that train of thought.It wasn’t possible that Nyx’s twin sister was the other woman. How c
AlecI step aside but don’t go far. I could feel the charged air around us, but that wasn’t my main concern. No. It was the woman curled into a ball, looking like her whole world had been upended.I hated seeing her like this. I hated seeing the pain in her eyes. I wanted to do everything to help he
As my awe faded, panic started to set in. She is okay, right? She has to be okay… but releasing that much power can’t be good for her. The fact that she was even holding it all in couldn’t have been healthy.I ignored the dozens of confused and panicked wolves who were outside. They had probably wit
AnonymousI watched the weather changing, feeling the power that radiated through it. There was a kind of electric current that I could feel even on my skin. I could feel it; I could sense it and I could almost taste it.It was powerful, I admit, but it still had nothing on me. After all, I had two
I had noticed the shift in Brian way before he did. There was just something about him when I was turning that I didn’t like. He didn’t ooze off bad vibes like the rest and that’s just not what I was looking for in my army. I didn’t want some goody-two-shoes.There was one like him. The first one I
Sadie.We were in the living room of our castle. The light cast a warm glow while the fire from the fireplace gave this tranquil atmosphere. It was calm and relaxed. I loved it. It brought peace and quiet, something that I appreciate a lot.I was on my belly drawing; Mother was curled up on the sofa
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
