I will murder whoever has just opened those wooden shutters. Letting the fiery sunlight in is the last thing my pounding head needs. I’ve managed what many considered practically impossible. A shifter getting so drunk they’ve got a monster hangover. Our ferociously quick shifter healing normally handles alcohol with ease. However when you’re seething with betrayal and you hit litres of the stuff, you get a raging hangover. Silently I came up with some simple, easy to follow rules. Every time I think of Kate in my bed, naked and sumptuously perfect, take a shot. Every time I picture those strands of red silk in my hands, take a shot. Every time I replayed our conversations, asking her who those clothes belonged to, at least five shots. It burned me how she had squirmed in my arms, even with my fingers deep inside her but saying nothing. She had just shivered with pleasure, her eyes flashing the most amazing silver and chuckled. “You know why I’m not telling you don’t you?” “Why

The past couple of days have certainly given me time to think. After standing outside in the chilly early evening air for what felt like forever the wooden doors had finally opened. The tall blonde woman had reappeared, accompanied by a man clad entirely in grey. A long grey button jacket and grey trousers. At his throat shone a large emerald brooch glinting in its gold casement. He was shaved bald, glaring at me like an emperor with his mossy green eyes. Saying nothing, the young woman did all the talking, her hands fluttering nervously. “Come in, please follow me and Alpha Austin will see you soon.” We had walked in single file as she led me down a long corridor. I couldn’t believe the wealth on display as we silently threaded through. Marble floors covered in sumptuous long rolling gold-coloured carpet. Every item of furniture had a golden gilding. It was so over the top. So much wealth in one go made it feel cheap. One clock from a mantlepiece probably contained enough jewels t

Despite my doubts, within a couple of weeks I find myself in a strange new routine. My room is bright and airy, next door to the girl who opened the door to me when I arrived. Her name is Mina Frist. She ensures I am fed, bathed and comfortable and has seems kind and willing to listen to me Except I won’t be sharing any secrets. Every morning I now dress myself like Seraphine. Mina warns me that to look less than a perfect jewelled trinket is to insult Alpha Austin’s generosity. I wore chunky golden chokers for the first day, to hide the lingering neck bruises. Not that Austin called for me. I was trussed up uncomfortably like a toy on a shelf, waiting to be called for and it was maddening. I felt like a stabled horse except I had no idea what race I was to be involved in. Yet to complain was to invite my own death. I realised Seraphine wore mainly burgundy, red and purple silks, whereas my wardrobe was orange and gold. It matched my hazel eyes, but I couldn’t help wondering if

Felix and I are struggling. Well, Felix is trying everything he can think and I’m batting them all away. Now the taut, exciting tangled mess of our sex life has withered, what is there left? He offers to listen to me, buys me the most thoughtful presents and tries so hard but I’m numb. “Talk to me Roxie,” he must have said at least a dozen times this week but there’s nothing to say. Instead I take myself to my room more and more often, losing myself in bonfire scents and self-pleasure. I do miss Felix, I miss the warmth of his strong muscles when he holds me close, the feel of his cock inside me, the way he could make me feel safe against anything. The only time I’m feeling anything like myself is when I’m thinking about Alpha Dex, the next steps. So I’ve spent the past couple of weeks keeping a fairly low profile. I’ve not talked to Berlarot since Kate was exiled either, after hearing from Sinead that extra patrols had been added to try and ensure she didn’t come back for vengeanc

If I thought I was decked out like a trophy before, a whole new level has been reached. In order for me to be deemed fit to attend the Greenway Council meetings with Alpha Austin I needed gold plating. Mina laughed at my grumbling, fetching more silks, even ruby covered slippers which I pointed at her with a sarcastic eyebrow. A deep, sunset orange silk gown was shrouded with a long, wrapped see through shawl bejewelled with crystals and rubies. My hair was covered in so many golden butterflies I was finding them on my pillow each morning. I wore heavy, black-kohl makeup that apparently livened my eyes but just left me unrecognisable. “You will do,” Austin had declared as I entered, “You sit behind me and to the right, no more, more” he snapped as I shuffled the wooden chair across. “I want to be able to see you writing. Clicking his fingers so I looked at him, “If I want you to not record a discussion I need to catch your eye. Keep looking at me for instruction.” “Yes, Alpha,” I

The conference is a few days away, over at Luna Madeline’s dingy, misty Foxton Pack and I appear, to the general public, my father and Beta’s to have my shit together. I don’t think so. I’m angry, a deep burning anger that fuels my day and keeps me awake. There’s still no answers to any of my questions. No definite guilt or innocence for Kate, she's still a mystery. The rumour mill has even swung the other way. A girl named Rochelle, the one Kate won her fight against, has been the victim of the whispers. Further adding to my anger, and against my better judgement I find myself at another bonfire party. The same bands, the same flat beer and I’m bored stupid. “Why am I here Rhett?” I said ruefully as he passed me a beer and stroked his blonde beard. “Because Glenn said you would be a massive pussy if you didn’t come?” “That’s true. Where is he then?” “Over there with Clara,” Rhett said, pointing over to the far corner away from the band. Glenn and his girlfriend were talking he

I was sound asleep, a dreamless black space thanks to my relentless meeting schedule. Being so heavily draped in fabrics, sat perfectly poised, smothered in jewellery left my body aching. Which is why, when my door creaked in the middle of the night I didn't stir. It took being roughly shaken for my eyes to flicker open. Staring at me, a blazing fire torch painfully close to my face was a familiar pair of mossy green eyes. "What, what are you doing in my room! Get back!" I squealed, pulling the sheets up across my chest. Hauling myself against the wall, I needed distance, urgently. Beta Zaw's face was unchanged, though the rare twinkle in his iris showed he enjoyed my fear. "Put on your robe. I will be waiting outside," pausing for a few more seconds. I wore a tiny silk vest and pyjama shorts. I could not hide the repulsion on my face, imagining how long he might have been watching me. "It's the middle of the night!" I whispered furiously. "Alpha Austin demands it. Now," he repl

The Conference is tomorrow. I should be excited as Dex will almost certainly be there but I feel sick. Every meeting I’ve attended only highlighted the cavernous gap of Hugo’s presence. At night I heard his screams. Even the wind blowing against my small window sounded like his shrill squeals. Meat made me nauseous and Mina asked me endless questions that I could not answer. All the makeup and jewellery in the world couldn’t disguise the fear and trauma on my face. As I sat numbly scribbling minutes of the meeting, I forced myself to look up at Austin. Each time my eyes met his I remembered the feel of his firm hand around my throat, the relentless thudding of his hand and length hitting my lower back. Mina came to find me in the library where I held a book, unable to take in the words. “Come with me,” she whispered as I stood up and followed. She took me into the gardens where a small tea service was waiting. Ornate porcelain cups and dainty sandwiches gleamed in the sunshine. It

###ONE YEAR LATER###KATESo I’m Luna Kate now. We had a big, outdoor ceremony that everyone appeared to see. Dex wore all black, looking absolutely unreal. I wore a long fitted red gown, in keeping with the ruby in his eyes and the colours of Fyrestone. Almost everybody was there, of course Roxie was not.Dex and I have taken the bike to Verna a few times since that first outing. I think it’s his favourite thing to do when life gets a bit much. We also haven’t made it back once without having stopped mid-way home. Something about the adrenalin of the tattoo gun I guess.I did get a tattoo added for Roxie in the end. It took me a while to think about what I wanted but in the end I had a twisting, mixed up lightning bolt. Not a cheesy, pointy outline, but the crackling, thin shards that splinter across a dark sky. It is on the side of my ribs, surrounded by the constellations of the Fyrestone compound.It stood for all the lightning and thunderstorms we sheltered in together as children

Just for a while we switched off. There was a whole world of shit to deal with back at the packhouse. Dex hadn’t yet mentioned the gigantic black opal ring of his fathers that was now on his hand either. The drunken bonfire blowout tonight sounded absolutely perfect to be honest, it wasn’t even something I usually enjoyed doing. So much had happened it sounded amazing to just relax for a few hours.I knew he was stressed about Rhett being so weakened, the fact there was no way Glenn and Ariel would be able to live happily under the scorching sun of Fyrestone. However right now, tearing along the red dust ground at a dangerously fast speed it didn’t matter for a while.He took the bends with rough, sharp leans that made me hold my breath and cling onto his chest for dear life as we raced across the desert plains. His leather jacket smelt so delicious, the bonfire scent that first captured my heart fast becoming a permanent part of me. I wondered if he found himself smelling of grass e

Finally, after what feels like weeks we are back in Fyrestone. The whole campus turns out to greet our return. Matt and Felix are treated like living gods, one blonde girl with red lipstick, Cherry I think, particularly clinging onto Matt as the student feted two of their own winning a war.The cars that arrived to fetch us from Foxton were gratefully received. The men were tired and ready to recuperate. Of course, it was only what was expected of them. To be classed as a Warrior meant to risk your lives and battle for the pack. Fyrestone had lost several men as well. A lot of them nearer my fathers generation, men he was reluctant to let out to pasture. My selection of younger, sleeker warrior students and recent graduates had all survived. My father and Rose were waiting at the Packhouse for us, alongside a scarily-slimmed down Rhett. His ashy blonde hair tied in a topknot and a smile brimming on his ridiculously bushy beard. If he had looked almost feral before, he certainly did

With a heavy heart we had to leave. Cliffrill, Foxton and other packs needed Dex’s presence. When I told Roxie she was almost enthusiastic at the prospect of being left. “Go, go be the Luna, it’s fine. I don’t want everyone here watching me scab over anyway.” she had insisted.I did wonder how much of it was getting rid of me, or knowing that the sooner we left the sooner Felix would be gone. He tried again to talk to her but Mina had to show him out when Roxie refused to see him.Now Mina and Olaf are mated, very happily so by the sounds ringing out day and night she is coming with us. So we have had to entrust Roxie’s final healing to Etherly. Still a petite, sour faced little thing I sat her down for a talk as we prepared to leave.“Are you happy Austin has gone?”“Not particularly,” she said with a scowl, her petite features against twenty years every time she creased up so sourly. “I had a good life here.”“There is nothing to stop you having a good life elsewhere. This place was

Fuck me I owe Olaf a drink. Maybe ten. He can have every jewel in this shithole.The sight of Kate standing there in the gardens, not that she was really eyeing up the silent giant was enough to make Alba go wild. The green silk slip she wore was fluttering softly in the breeze, her eyes so brown and soulful combined with that honey hair. I was rock hard before I even stood behind her.Now I’m watching as my mate keeps her eyes on me, unzipping my pants on her knees. I know it’s maybe immature, enjoying the risk of being outside but it’s something Alba and I have in common. Fuck, it’s clearly something Kate likes too, she’s been bent over a balcony howling before now so this is junior league in comparison.When she started teasing me, suggesting things I could do to her she had no idea how wild it drives me. Or maybe she does know exactly what she’s doing, in which case she deserves my cock in her mouth even more.Her plump perfectly pink lips kissing and wrapping around the head of m

The tender-hearted bear of a man who waited outside the door was soon replaced by a different beast entirely. On waking up he flexed his Alpha authority with ease. Ordering his collection of men into different brigades, plus reserves arrived with supplies and information. Almost twenty hours after the battle was won and the dust was starting to settle.A constant flurry of decisions had to be made. Dex, now sat in the library answered dozens of questions. Dispensing supplies, where everything needed to go and handling every kind of diplomatic crisis. We received an update on Rhett, he had been successfully taken by the Fyrestone and was under care.Glenn would still be heading back to Foxton to inform Luna Madeline but a scout had returned from his group to confirm Eduardo was being held captive. His pack were apparently only too happy to place him under arrest. It was peculiar how no local rebellion occurred. Fyrestone’s warriors were allowed across the territory without difficulty.

Hours of chanting, each of us holding Roxie’s charred hand or foot as Olaf mixed herbs and guided our voiced was exhausting. My head dropped, fighting waves of tiredness after days of running from Foxton. Olaf and Felix had battled too, their red wounds matching Roxie’s battered form. It was peculiar to feel the ebb and flow of her body. I would feel warmth and a pulse only for it to simmer away. Her breathing was barely there, her chest flickering instead of rising. Her wolf was pushing itself to the limits and there was no way of knowing what would happen.On the sofas, rapidly staining with blood as her wounds seeped, we surrounded her with our love. As dawn broke over a new day Mina looked around and clanged the cymbals.Olaf began to shake his head in failure, the herbs, hair and peculiar rocks he had procured moved to one side. He was accepting defeat. I couldn't. I gave my last bit of energy, chanting louder, closer to her ear praying with everything I had that she would choos

After swimming in the blackness, for what could have been years or seconds I was calm. Unable to form a thought, feel any pain I simply existed in a pool of darkness. That almost-tumbling feeling of falling asleep, when you’re just on the brink of accepting tiredness, was the only sensation. Then the pungent, unmistakable scent of burning hair entered the darkness.The first emotion and clear thought that dripped into my awareness was the fear that the smell was sulphur. That Berlarot even in death remained tied to me.As my senses slowly strengthened, like a slow turning up of volume I found my inner voice. Another thought occurred when I realised it was not Berlarot, was the assumption that the burning smell was my own hair. Perhaps the tower was burning, maybe Kate had done something marvellous and saved everyone.Kate. My sister.I’d left her. I’d jumped and left her to the mercy of Austin. A coward till the end. Death is the correct path for me.Thoughts swam around in the black

What the hell has happened here. We’ve saved the fucking day and I’m getting shit for it.As she vanished around the corner the blonde girl with blue eyes approached. “I’m Mina, I did not want to get Kate’s hopes up but I think…Roxie needs a healer. She might not be completely gone yet.”I groaned, rubbing my face. We’re just a collection of fighters, “Azus, do you?” knowing the answer would be a no before he walked off to check on his injured men. Then, as quiet as a tiger through the trees Olaf came into view. He was completely naked, his grey hair shorn, eyes shimmering gold and yellow.He walked down the grassy path, all of us staring at his intimidating presence. Was he some kind of fucking sun god? Blessed with serious muscles and abs behind all that weird grey hair it felt as though we were all meeting him for the first time.Ignoring everyone’s stares he fixed his eyes on the tall, blonde Mina. We all saw her breath catch, her eyes widen as she fell under some kind of spell. F
