It worked, it totally worked. I don’t know how that gooey puddle Berlarot managed to work his magic but my request came true. That exam was a piece of cake. As simple as reciting the alphabet answers just flew into my mind, my pen was unable to keep up with the ideas that raced through me. Whereas the few glances I managed to steal at Kate told me everything I needed to know. I always looked at her in exams, normally to beat myself up for not being as focused as her, but today she's unravelled. Her long wavy hair was scrunched in her hands, her cheeks pink and flushed and her answer book still opened on the first page. Was it so bad to feel a little bit happy? Shocked and guilty, but a little curling green shoot of happiness was there too. During schooling at the orphanage we were always in the top three or four, but Kate was always just ahead. Every time. When she ran away afterwards I felt a pang of guilt. She didn’t tell me the truth about it when I got back either, which s

Another week another exam. Sleep is impossible, constantly waking to double check my notes. My mother’s opal amulet is permanently round my neck as I nervously play with the fiery amber stone. My hair is a wavy mess from stress-scrunching and I’m fairly sure Roxie is sick of me asking her to test me on possible questions. “You need to eat something, you look poorly,” Cherry said sympathetically, beckoning me to join them on the bench. She looked adorable in a floaty tea-dress, blonde curls, and her signature red lipstick. I couldn’t help noticing the red stain on Matt’s lips and side of his neck. I thought it was cute how they attempted to keep their relationship private. They had little inside jokes, his huge arms always had her books in them, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her curvy shape. If they thought nobody had noticed their relationship, they were happy fools. Perhaps they were waiting to see if they were mates before making a bigger thing of it. “I’ve got snacks in this

There must have been three dozen huge cars all cluttering up the central square of the compound. Trucks were following too, rendering the peaceful fruit-tree covered cobbled paths a dusty, scalding hot car park. As the dust cloud settled and figures started emerging the whispers soon began. “The whole conference is here! The five other pack leaders!” “I didn’t think that was due until winter?” Felix muttered under his breath. “Look at Alpha Austin, he must have finally taken over from his father,” Matt whispered as a tall, handsome man with short blue hair and piercing blue eyes glanced around dismissively. Draped in gold chains he looked visibly unimpressed with white buildings that always charmed me. “Oooh Luna Madeline! That gown…” Cherry cooed as a stately older lady, her movements stiff with poise and regal glamour emerged. Her cat-like grey eyes scowled at the dust that immediately coated her heavy velvet gown. “I heard she is an expert in Dark Arts, like seriously deadly.”

I do not know why we must entertain this pack of egos. Every Conference is just an opportunity for snakes to slither closer together. Luna Madeline is terrifying as usual. Alpha Frank is a lazy walrus of a man that can somehow still shift into a wolf. Alpha Austin is a prick. End of. He thinks because he has become the formal Alpha of his pack before me, it’s a victory. In a way he has won because my father gives me constant grief as he compares me unfavourably. I was born ready. I am just not willing to play games with people I cannot trust. My father is unfortunately skilled at lying. He promises my sister he will protect her freedom and ability to love who she chooses whilst at the same time suggesting her as a Luna Bride to Alpha Austin. No guilt, no conscience. Austin always rolls his icy blue eyes and pretends he couldn’t possibly take my fathers beloved princess away. He doesn’t mean it. He will take Rose when it suits him. And my father will let him. I couldn’t keep such

I heard the girls whispering yesterday when we were in the field, but I had no idea it would take off the way it has. After my extra Dark Arts classes I had a gap before Strategy, so I headed towards the library to copy my notes to give to the others later. Except it took me forever. Everyone seemed to recognise me from the party, countless friendly faces of fellow students asking how I was doing, did I like the course, was I going to Sinead’s party on Friday? I am used to making my way silently from place to place. Unless I am with Kate of course. She is normally the one stopped by smiles and enquiries. Not today! “I love a party, definitely count me!” to a random blue-eyed guy who simply had to talk to me. “Oh wow that sounds so much,I’d love to go!” I replied to a request to spend the weekend out on a hike with Sinead. I’m not going to turn down new friends. Felix is all over me, he can’t stop complimenting me, laughing at my jokes. It’s like I’ve become famous overnight. Th

The white walled, arched window design of our packhouse was meant to keep us cool against the fierce summer heat. Except it didn’t work so well with a dining hall rammed full of Alpha’s and their Beta’s all wearing ridiculously rich and heavy garments. Luna Madeline looks as though the stick up her ass is the only thing keeping her vertical as she melts in her ruby velvet gown. It’s an unsettling blood red colour, her milky grey eyes and hair matched by her silent long grey-haired minion Olaf. A hulking brute who she constantly whispered to at the other end of our huge marble table. Glistening white, with veins of orange opal, the huge marble conference table seated over thirty. Discussions about trade, attacks on routes and the increasing prices of various goods had been debated. Alpha Frank of Jura demanded a reduction in the price of the coal we mined. My father wouldn’t yield without him committing to selling us his gold at a reduced price. I mind-linked my father, suggestin

The hiking today was the best thing I could have done. Cherry, Matt and I had such a good time, I don’t think I’m going to get offered a role as a Warrior but I can certainly cover some ground. I love going for runs around the compound smelling the fresh fruit trees so I survived the miles of walking just fine. I went for a shower as soon as I got in. Sinead has a party tonight and I wanted to get all the dust from my hair and skin. As I towelled my hair, Roxie came into the room with a giggling Felix. They were holding hands and he pulled her to him for a kiss.. “Sorry guys!” as they jumped apart, Felix was blushing and running a hand through his hair. Roxie smiled widely and kept Felix’s arm around her waist. They make a sweet couple, Felix is clearly over the moon for her. Selfishly I hope her having Felix will stop the barbs about Alpha Dex. A couple of delightfully close moments does not make a relationship. No matter how my dreams taunt me. If I ever got the opportunity to be

So I froze. His powerful bass voice echoed around the tall buildings. The only sound left was my heart thudding in my chest. In the dusky evening we were entirely alone in the small cobbled square. The scent of bonfire is already mixing in with the flowering pink trees around us. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done?” he snapped at me. Rooted to the spot, metres away from me, every muscle in his body was rigid. Shocked at the accusation, I couldn't help crying out "I haven't done anything wrong. It's just a nasty rumour!" shivering as the evening cool began to wispily around my bare legs and arms. Raising his arm, with jabbing his finger in my direction he hissed, “you have dragged my name into the mud right before this Conference!” “I haven’t done a thing! I never came to you for help or cheated in any way," trying to keep composed though my resentment at his attitude was rising. "Maybe Rhett is your little helper not me?" he snarled and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at t

###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.

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
