View MoreThe morning sun was pale against the thick mist that blanketed the Blood Moon Pack’s lands. Lucy sat on a stone bench near the training grounds, her thoughts circling Karl’s cryptic words. She had tried to sleep after their conversation, but the idea that she wasn’t just a wolf—or perhaps not even a wolf at all—kept her wide awake.The crunch of boots on gravel drew her attention. She looked up to see Karl approaching, his presence as commanding as ever. His sharp blue eyes locked onto hers, and Lucy’s pulse quickened.“We need to talk,” he said simply.She stood, crossing her arms. “You said that last night, and all it did was leave me more confused.”Karl’s lips twitched, almost a smile. “Then I’ll be clearer.” He gestured for her to follow him.They walked in silence, the cold air biting at Lucy’s cheeks. Karl led her to a quiet clearing at the edge of the forest. The trees seemed to shield them from the rest of the world, their tall trunks forming a natural wall.He turned to face
Lucy's heart pounded rapidly in her chest as she turned around. She recognized Alpha Karl Bloodmoon with wide eyes. His gaze were focused yet unreadable, and his hand was still firmly on her shoulder.“This place is off limits to you,”He spoke in a firm yet authoritative tone. He looked directly into her eyes, and she felt a shock of fear and something else.“I-I was just looking around,”Even after she stammered and backed up a little, his hold remained firm.Karl looked at her with a calculated and keen eye. His tone was gentle enough to confuse Abit, but he reiterated, "You are not supposed to be here." Without another word, he let off of her shoulder and turned to face the door.Lucy paused, uncertain whether to run or remain motionless.“Karl shouted over his shoulder, "Go back to your room," with a note of caution in his voice.There was no need to repeat it to her. Lucy's heart continued to race as she hurried down the dark hallway. Behind her, the heavy door to the strange roo
CHAPTER 5Lucy felt sad as she stood outside the Ember Pack house, her breathing quick and uneven. The wind howled around them matching her troubled thoughts. Her parents, Ian and Nina, leaned close together, sharing anxious looks. They had hoped maybe too much that Alpha Asher would be kind to their family.“That was... interesting.” Nina finally said her voice trembling as she looked at her husband and then at Lucy. “What do we do now?”“I can't believe he just turned us down,” Ian said upset. He ran a hand through his hair looking like a troubled dad. “We came all this way and for what? A door shut in our faces?”Lucy looked away from them, her chest feeling tight. “I said you should have stayed at Stormclaw,” she said, her voice just a whisper full of hurt. “This was a bad idea.”“Lucy.” her mom started, but Ian cut in, raising a hand.“No Nina. Let her talk.” He looked at Lucy, his brow wrinkling as he said this. “I know this is tough. I know the pain of being rejected. But we pi
CHAPTER 4Morning light filtered into her room, weak rays unable to break through her lasting fear. Last night her father did not return, and they found out from a call that he was at another pack , Beta business .The school day went by in a haze, a blurry world where laughter seemed strange—a teasing ghost all around her. The Stormclaw Pack's college had been a safe place but now it felt more like a cage.“Why are you here Lucy?” Laura's voice cut through the air hard and unkind as Lucy tried to move past her on their way back home.Laura stood with her friends with a smug smile on her face. “I mean don’t you want to quit now? You’ve already done the wolfless thing so well.”Lucy tightened her jaw trying to hold back her anger. “Just leave me alone Laura.”“Aw, what's wrong? Are you still upset about Prince Geoffrey? I thought you'd be tougher by now.” Laura teased.Hearing Geoffrey's name brought back the shame of that awful night, a reminder of old hurts. “Be quiet, Laura,” Lucy w
CHAPTER 3Ian Drew walked through the big oak doors of the council room, his heart racing as he saw the council members sitting at the long oval table, their faces serious.“Beta Ian, you’re late,” Prince Geoffrey said, a slight smile on his face, but his eyes looked at Ian hard, showing what he felt. Sitting on Alpha Stormclaw’s throne, he seemed at ease without his father there.“Where's Alpha Stormclaw?” Ian asked squinting at the prince. He looked closely at the young man seeing the bright arrogance shining on his pale face.Geoffrey shifted in his seat leaning back like he wanted to show he was in charge. “Dad isn’t able to lead this meeting today. He’s been getting worse and he told me I can take care of it.” The way he said it made it seem like an honor instead of a hassle and Ian felt uneasy at the idea.“Are you saying he’s too sick to do his job?” Ian’s tone was calm but his dislike showed. The elders moved in their chairs looking at each other as if trying to find a way to
CHAPTER 2Geoffrey, with his bright blonde hair and fun attitude, was kissing another girl. It was a scene that took the air out of Lucy's lungs. Frozen at the top of the hill she blinked while wishing this was just a nasty trick of the light. But the truth was obvious. The girl in Geoffrey's arms was Laura Hauser, her best friend since they were kids.Lucy felt warm tears welling up in her eyes and the pain of feeling betrayed hurt her heart. “Geoffrey?” she called with her voice shaking a little barely heard over the soft breeze that stirred the leaves around her.They pulled away while surprised by her voice. Geoffrey turned while looking confused while Laura had a smirk Lucy had never seen. “Lucy,” Laura said with her voice oddly sweet, “you’re just in time.”“I... I don’t get it” Lucy faltered while feeling a lump in her throat. “What’s happening?”“Aww, poor Lucy,” Laura teased as she walked closer. “Didn’t you realize? Geoffrey needs someone stronger than you.”“I thought you w
CHAPTER 1The wind screamed through the open area on Raven’s Peak, a spot known for old ceremonies and the core of the Stormclaw pack’s customs. Lucy’s hands shook as she stood with her heart in her throat. “Priestess Tarot,” she asked with her voice,shaky “It worked, right? You felt something didn’t you?” She looked at the priestess while hoping for comfort.Tarot looked at Lucy without wavering but the silence was thick. “Lucy, my dear…” she started, but Lucy interrupted her.“I feel nothing.” she insisted with worry creeping under her skin. “Not yet. The others said they felt it on their fifteenth birthdays but I... I...”Ian and Nina Drew Lucy's mom and dad looked at each other with worry on their faces. Alpha Stormclaw stood nearby serious but uneasy. Lucy's heart was pounding. They should have been happy. Instead fear felt heavy in her stomach.“Lucy, take a breath.” her mom said while moving nearer. “You still have time. Sometimes… it just takes a bit more time.”“A little lon
