Christina POV

“The man threatened to cut off my penis if I didn’t allow him to kill my wife,” A man standing on a stage with a bunch of adults and teenagers listening to him takes a deep breath before continuing his life story.

“-but jokes on him, my wife didn’t die that night, she came back to life after she was shot in the head. It was a miracle!” He screams and all the people clap and scream with joy in their hearts.

Humans tend towards believing the worst shit. How can anyone blabber about how their partner died and came back to life and others believe?

“What the hell is going on in there?” I turn around and my brown eyes clash with blue ones that squint as they notice me staring. Elsa.

“Probably a bunch of weirdos trying to convince each other that their lives are more interesting than others,” I say whilst we walk past the tell-all hallroom.

I pause and look at her again.

“What are you doing here anyway?” I ask knowing she’s meant to be in her chemistry class right now.

She places her hands on her slim waist and tilts her heart-shaped face sideways causing her blonde hair to sway. I have always been jealous of her pale skin. I unfortunately have tanned skin that makes me look like a Latino.

“Where are you heading to?” she asks, completely ignoring my question. “Elsa, you can’t answer a question with a question.” I roll my eyes.

“Fine, I got bored and saw you passing our class through the window. I came out to see what you were doing.” She says while playing with her hair.

“I forgot my school bag at home,” I say knowing she’s about to start judging me as always, but what are friends for?

She starts to laugh and I roll my eyes again.

“Don’t even ask, I honestly don’t know how I forgot it. I’m going back home to get it.” I continue walking and she catches up to me.

“I’m coming with you, no one will even notice I’m gone.” She winks and I smile.

My place isn’t that far from our school. My dad insisted on finding a high school that was near him, he’s so overprotective over me. My mom on the other hand could care less as long as I go to school.

We reach there in no time and I knock on the door expecting one of my parents to open the door. It was very early and I hadn’t even attended my first class when I noticed my school bag was missing. They both don’t leave for work till after I’ve had my second class so I’m sure they’ll both still be inside.

“Hey, Christina...are you sure they're inside?” Elena asks because I’ve been knocking for a while without saying a word.

“I don’t understand.. they are usually up and awake by this time.” I sigh.

“Have you ever tried turning the doorknob?” She asks like I’m the dumbest person on earth. “They always lock the door, trust me, it’s not going to be open.”

I know how strict my dad is about locking the house. My hand disagrees with me because I don’t even notice when it grabs the handle and pulls it down till I see the door creak open.

“See, there we go. That wasn’t so hard now was it?” She emphasizes her statement by shaking her head and throwing out her hands.

Usually, I’d be amused by her but right now I had a bad feeling that something was wrong. My parents would never leave the door open and they sure as hell would have opened the door even if they were asleep.

I ignore the feeling and decide not to say anything because I don’t want to make Elena panic. I push the door open and the moment I step in I instantly regret it. Everything in the living room is a mess. The TV is upside down on the floor, the couches have shifted from their original spot and they all have scratches on them like some kind of animal was tearing them. The house is a simple duplex but right now I wish it was the size of a hut because it would be so much easier to locate my parents.

I hear a gasp and that’s when I remember that Elsa is still here with me. I look in her direction and see that she’s staring at the stairs.

“What the fuck.” She says and places a hand on her chest.

I take a deep breath and look at the staircase, what I see has me paralyzed on the spot. There is blood dripping on every single staircase.

I finally hear a noise coming from my dad's room and I don’t even know how I got the courage to move but I manage to regain my strength.

“Elsa, I need you to call 911 and run back to your house.” I hold her shoulders as I speak with a shaky voice.

“No.. no- I can’t just-”

“This is not the time Elsa!” I yell. “Get the fuck out and call the cops, tell them to get an ambulance down here now!”

She nods and runs away and all the strength I thought I had just a second ago vanishes and I find myself holding the wall as I sidestep the mess on the floor.

I walk all the way upstairs ignoring the blood because I will vomit if I stare at it. Once I reach the top, I follow the trail of blood which leads straight to my dad's room.

On my way there I find about four dead men on the floor. They're all covered in black clothing and they all have masks on. I gulp.

I finally reach my dad's room but the door is closed so I use my leg to kick it open softly. The first thing I see is two men in black choking my father. They all couldn’t see me because they were facing my dad and their bodies were blocking my father's view. I didn’t react but looking down, I saw my mother's limp body oozing out blood. The blood is scattered everywhere around her body.

This time I couldn’t hold it in. I scream so loud that I probably break all of my vocals as my voice slowly dies. I looked back at my dad and saw that they had all noticed my presence due to my scream. The two men in black look at me instead of focusing on my dad which gives him an opening that he uses to bang their heads together and he does it so hard that I can hear their skulls clash.

I expected the two men to fall and bleed out but they seemed to be fine even with the blood coming out of their heads. I thought this would be the most unreal thing I’d see today but nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to see.

My dad's entire body starts to shake and elongate, it happens so fast that once I finish blinking, I don’t see three men in the room anymore, it’s only two and one huge gigantic Wolf. Dog? I don’t know what the hell that is but the only correct description would be a werewolf.

The werewolf who I believe to be my dad jumps on the two men and kills them using his teeth just as they are about to start becoming hairy and transform. Those two men weren’t humans either? What the fuck.

    Christina POV“What the fuck. What the fuck! What the actual fuck!” I keep repeating it like a mantra. I don’t know whether I should be more confused at what I just saw or at the fact that the werewolf who just killed the two men is staring at me and for some reason, I’m not afraid of him hurting me. Hell, I'm more afraid of the fact that he stopped looking at me and started looking behind me. I felt someone’s breath on my neck and I already knew that I was about to die but just before I started to pray to god and embrace death, a knife flew swiftly past my ear and right into whoever the hell was behind me. I felt a warm liquid drip down my shoulder and I slowly looked back and saw another man in black. His eyeball was struck With the knife and it’s bleeding profusely. The man starts to scream and I immediately look back at the direction that the knife came from.There’s a lady in black but different from the men and her face is open, unlike the men whose faces were conveyed in masks

Once Becca parked, I left the car and stared at the house but that’s the least of my worries.I look behind me and see Becca and Melissa talking so I walk up to Dad who's looking at the house inquisitively.“Are you sure we can trust those two...” I look at them smiling at each other before I turn back to my dad and continue whispering.“They are a bit weird,” I said. “They’re your sisters' love,” Dad says. He places his hand on his brown hair and scratches it. He’s taller than me so I don’t get to see the exact spot he’s scratching. Or maybe I’m the short one that makes him look tall. He’s about 5 '11 whilst I’m 5' 6 so I won’t call myself short but I’m not tall either.Coincidentally my so-called sisters look to be about the same height as me but Becca looks a few inches taller...perhaps 5 '7. They both have brown hair and brown eyes just like me but I have white strands on mine. I

    Christina POVWe run out the back door through the kitchen and immediately start to sprint away from the people chasing after us.I have never run so much in my life. We couldn't get to the car because they had swarmed around us so the back door was the only possible escape we had.My legs start to hurt and I suddenly feel so dizzy. I could barely breathe. I’ve never been good at any physical activities.“Please, we need to rest!” I yell out.“We can’t!” Dad screams.“Peter, we have to shift!” Melissa shouts.I ignore what Melissa says not because I don’t understand it but because the guys behind us seem to be getting closer. I guess this is the day I die. I wouldn’t have minded dying if it wasn’t for the vast amount of drama that has happened in the past few hours. I need to at least understand why my mother was killed before I die. Hell—I want to avenge her.Becca looks back and sees that I’m slower than all of them. She then looked behind me and I turned around to see that the peop

    Christina’s POVWhen you're in the dark for a very long time, no matter how anxious you are, or the amount of fear running through your veins, you can't escape your body trying to get some rest. I have to blink multiple times to kick the drowsiness out of my eyes when the bag over my head gets pulled off so roughly that it almost rips my lobe earring off. I kiss my teeth at first and then remember my current situation, which is enough to wake me up completely.Dad, or Peter? I'm not sure what to even refer to him as anymore is by my side, chained up to a wooden chair that looks too weak and brittle. He looks at me and sends a smile he likely hopes is comforting, but it only makes my insides twist around even more. The strange, man-wolf person who had claimed Becca was his ‘mate’ stands before us, eyes narrowed. We're in a cell with actual bars, but he stands on the outside of it, watching us like we're mere criminals. If anyone had told me that this was how this week would go for m

All my cries fall on deaf ears, as it becomes obvious that I'm not leaving this man's room until he is ready to let me go.I look around me, getting more and more scared as I realize that his room is so large that I feel immensely tiny inside of it. The smell of incense and lit candles faintly permeates the room, adding to the dark atmosphere. Sunlight is gradually waning, which means that soon, night will fall on us, potentially keeping us here longer.I rub my hands together in a pleading gesture. “Please, please please, I don't know anything at all,” I beg, dragging myself across the carpet-covered floor away from this man before me with a sinister look in his eyes. “Please.” My elbows start to hurt, but I push past the pain and keep moving—until a solid wall presses into my back.His eyes roam my body in a way that hints at nothing good.

Something is coming, and although I don't know what it is, I can tell that it's nothing good at all.My mother rushes into my room, floral dress brushing her ankles as she moves frantically, interrupting my painting session. “Marcel,” she says, pausing at my doorway with her chest heaving. Even the look in her eyes is enough to get me distracted.“What is it, mother?” I try to add more touches to my painting, but now that I've been interrupted, my full focus has been torn apart, and I can't figure out where to place my brush. I drop my palette and brush, turning to look at her fully. “I cannot read your mind, Mother. I need you to start talking.”“She's alive, Marcel.”I pause. “Who?”“The girl that was talked about in the prophecy. The one that's supposed to be your mate.

    Marcel's POThe silence inside the car was suffocating. My fingers tapped against my thigh as I stared out the window, my mind racing. Christina was gone, taken right under my nose. I felt so insulted like I was suddenly incapable of protecting her.Even worse, I had no idea who had led that attack. Whoever they were, they had better get themselves ready for my revenge, which would be slow and brutal.Mirabel sat across from me, her face calm, but I could see the tension in her posture. She was waiting for me to speak, to decide what needed to be done."You're too quiet," she finally said, her voice careful. “What's on your mind, Alpha?"I clenched my jaw. "I'm trying to figure out the best course of action. Going to the Silver Moon Pack without her wasn't the plan."Mirabel exhaled slowly, folding her hands in her lap. "We can't afford to let this diplomatic mission fail. The Silver Moon Pack is outside your direct authority; this alliance is needed. If we delay or cancel the meetin

    Author's POVThe morning air was crisp as Christina stepped out of the pack house. This was her first time coming out since she got here, but she didn't have the energy to even admire her surroundings. All she could note was that the sun felt good on her skin.Her nerves were already stretched thin. The maids had spent the entire night packing and fussing over her, and she hadn't gotten much sleep. As she made her way to the sleek black car waiting for her and Marcel, she noticed a movement in an alcove at the side of the house. It looked like someone was beckoning her forward.Just as she reached the car door, her heart leaped as she realized who it was. Melissa was standing in the shadows, half-hidden by the morning light.She hadn't seen her stepsisters in days and was starting to worry about them. Of course, she could not miss this opportunity to speak to them."I... I need to use the restroom quickly," Christina blurted, glancing at Marcel, who was already seated in the car.He r

    Marcel's POVI frowned and skimmed through the reports that had come in yesterday evening. Being an alpha didn't come with a vacation; every day, something new popped up that needed my attention.Something like the Silvermoon pack in this case.My pen ran over my journal as I documented my plan of action. The Silvermoon pack was known for its isolation. It was fiercely independent and detached from the hierarchy of the werewolf realm.It operated on its government and was out of my authority. However, I was about to venture out of my bounds to visit them.But rumors of unrest had started filtering through, and the last thing I needed was for them to threaten the delicate balance I maintained in the packs under my rule.If Silvermoon descended into chaos, the ripple effects would undoubtedly disrupt my reign. Diplomacy wasn't my strongest suit, but this visit was necessary. It was a chance to ensure peace—or at least plant the seeds of it.I shut the book and picked up the letter I wou

    Christina's POVKeeping my eyes on Rowan was not helping me think. He looked like he had already resigned himself to the worst possible punishment, and I knew that Marcel wanted me to pick the worst punishment. If I sentenced Rowan to death, would he kill him, or would he say it was too harsh?"Okay, how about a suspension?" I asked, hoping that this would count. "Maybe a one-month suspension before he's allowed to resume duties."I thought That was a good idea, a bit proud of myself. At least then, he would have the time to care for his mate.Marcel chuckled darkly, shaking his head. "You're too soft."I clenched my fists. "Then what do you suggest?"Marcel smirked, his eyes glinting with something dangerous. “Rowan will be stripped of his position as a patrol member. From now on, he will serve as a training dummy for our recruits."I stared at him, horrified. Even Rowan had a stricken expression on his face as he looked up. “You can't be serious!"A training dummy sounded like a p

    Christina's POV"Your back is too stiff," Luna Sandra said sharply, circling me. "A Luna must exude confidence, not rigidity. If you stand like that in front of a pack meeting, they'll think you're a servant, not a leader."I tried to relax my shoulders, but it wasn't easy under her scrutinizing gaze. Ever since my little stunt, I had been more scared of her presence. I remembered the way she had stepped forward as though she was ready to kill me in that instant, and now I was here in a room with her just two days later. I couldn't be blamed for being nervous.She, on the other hand, was harder on me now. It was like she was trying to prove a point to me, even though I had no idea what it was. Or perhaps she just hated me a bit more."You need to keep your chin up. That's the third time I've had to tell you," she added, her tone laced with irritation. "How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you look ready to bolt at the first sign of conflict?"I clenched my fists at my s

She felt small and comfortable, parting her soft lips slightly as I deepened the kiss.A surprising warmth coursed through me, stirring my wolf and something else within me—something I hadn't felt in a long while.As her hands moved over my chest, I felt their tremor, bringing me back to reality. I paused, catching myself."Christina," I said, my voice coming out in a low whisper. I took hold of her wrist, stopping her hands from moving any further, and held back slightly. Her eyes were shut, lips slightly swollen and still parted.I groaned, resisting the urge to kiss her again. She was shaking badly."What are you doing?" I asked, brows furrowing.Her eyes were shiny with unshed tears as she opened them, blinking slowly at me. "Isn't this what you wanted? Let's get over it so that I can be free."My jaw clenched as I realized what was going on. She was forcing herself, trying to submit

He felt beyond humiliated.He was an alpha, a figure of authority to many people, yet he was taken out of his Pack like a criminal. Alpha Marcel had taken care to make it a public arrest—his way of disgracing Alpha John and his cause had been achieved.Throughout the journey to the Black Moon Pack, all Alpha John could think about was Pierce. What would she assume was the matter when she returned from her trip and saw the empty house?He had told his beta to tell her the truth. Covering it up with more lies would only worsen matters, and she would find out in the end. After all, his actions were now public.What a way to rescue his daughters—now he was trapped with them.

    Christina's povAs I stirred awake, the first thing I felt was an ache in my limbs, a dull reminder of my failed escape. Memories came back in flashes: running through the woods in another form and seeing the world through different eyes, meeting my father, and taking notes from him.From there, everything went down in a spiral. Marcel's guards had gathered me, and just as I turned to speak to them, the cold iron of a dart pierced my side, a numbing sensation spreading through my veins.Now I am back. I blinked, staring at the scene and trying to remember exactly where I was. When I finally overcame the vertigo, I shifted my gaze from the familiar walls of my room in Marcel's estate, and that was when I saw him.Marcel was standing at the foot of my bed, his arms crossed over his broad chest, watching me with a conflicted expression. For a moment, I thought he was about to announce my punishment for what I did—and that would not be pleasant."Get up," he said in a low voice.This was

It was barely dawn, and the cool morning breeze from the window was pleasant.He stared at the heading placeholder "Luna" and shook his head. At least, this was a temporary arrangement. A knock broke his focus."Come in," he said tersely without looking up.The door opened, and Arun stepped in, holding a small, worn notebook. His expression was serious as he approached Marcel."Something was discovered near the site where Christina was found," he began, placing the book on the desk. It was found under a boulder."Marcel's eyes flicked to the item. It looked old and unremarkable, certainly not something that would draw his attention if it weren't brought to him."If I recall, it was that area where those men were sent out to get Christina back, so why is this just getting to me?" he asked."I asked
