Axel POV

I’d been waiting all week for the pack run, the restless energy building in my muscles, ready to burst free, and I really needed the exercise.

There was something about running under the full moon, feeling the earth beneath my paws, that brought a freedom I couldn’t find anywhere else.

It was freeing, and after so much delay I was finally getting what I wanted. Zarek was nowhere to be found, which wasn’t exactly surprising; lately he had been in a foul mood lately.

He'd been disappearing more and more lately, always brooding and withdrawn, grumbling and snapping at everyone, including me. I was getting damn sick of his sulking; his brooding was getting under my skin, and I almost welcomed the chance to run it off without him dragging the energy down.

My father was up ahead, so I walked up to him, offering a small grin.

"Hello, father," I mumbled, and he turned to look at me.

"You really should be leading these things; we can't have everything come to a half when I'm not he

    Lunette POVThe air was crackling with energy, enough of it that, but I wasn't really surprised at it, but it was fun to see; the young ones had some fun with it, yipping at the adult tails; it made me smile; this was better than what had happened when I was with my family; it had always been a somber affair.It seemed I had done pack runs wrong this whole time. The energy was electric as the others barreled off into the trees, different colors of fire flashing through the moonlit forest as they ran. It was beautiful, and it filled me with longing. I found the alpha leading ahead; he was the largest of them, his fur dark black almost midnight. He moved with sleek speed as if he weren't almost as huge as a mountain lion; it was almost too good to watch and made me long for the old times, though limited, when I could actually shift and roam by myself without the burden of my pack watching me.Longing filled my gut. Tonight, I’d follow Alpha Cormac’s advice and go to the spot near the w

    Lunette POVThe scent of blood in the air was almost too sharp and metallic, making my stomach churn. I didn't really like blood all that much. I stepped closer to Axel, my eyes narrowing as I took in the dark stains smeared across his arms and torso.His unusually calm demeanor only made it more unsettling. "Is that blood?" I muttered. It sounded stupid now I had said it out loud.Of course it was blood. “What happened to you?” I asked, but he said nothing, walking towards her. “Axel,” I muttered hesitantly, my voice cutting through the quiet of the clearing."You're hurt. There’s blood on you.” I gestured toward the bright red stains over his chest and arms, my concern outweighing my discomfort.Axel didn’t flinch, his gaze steady as he wiped at the blood absentmindedly with his hand."It's nothing,” he replied, his tone dismissive. I frowned, unconvinced and definitely not buying his casual explanation. “That’s not nothing, Axel. Whose blood is it?" He exhaled heavily, runni

    Axel POVThe forest was oddly too quiet; the blood spilling down my chest from the man I had just killed was warm and sticky; it would be a hassle to clean.Mostly a hassle to explain to Lunette, but that was a problem to deal with then. I looked at the body; that would be another problem; maybe I should have left him alive.I found out exactly what he wanted from her in the first place and why he had been stalking her, but the time for that had passed. I moved to the body and dragged him across the ground, the body making the leaves rustle. The faint calls of wolves from the pack run echoed back here, making me smile a bit.It was funny in a way I didn't want to think about right now.I was supposed to be enjoying a peaceful, quiet run, not dragging a body half way across the forest. Once I was done hiding the body, I moved to where Lunette stood by the water, looking scared.She must have heard me coming; she glanced at me and then immediately looked worried when she saw the blood o

    Lunette POVThe dim light filtering through the cracks of the storage shed made me feel uneasy. I shouldn't be here at all, but I felt suffocated inside, so I decided to help clear the mess in the storage. The shelves were stacked with tools, old supplies, that were dusty and in need of arranging, so here I was looking for solitude—trying not to let my thoughts circle back to Axel and that night in the forest. The pack runs were over, but thinking about that night still made me feel hot and brought a flush to my skin. Even now my core was wet just at the thought of it.The forest was supposed to be the last time; that’s what I told myself every day after that; that’s what I promised myself. But promises had a way of crumbling when Axel was involved. No matter where I went, he seemed to find me. No matter how much I tried to resist, I kept finding myself giving in. It wasn’t just the forest. There was the time by the stream when he caught me washing the dirt off my hands after gard

    Lunette POVI ran away from the shed like the hounds of hell were all rushing behind me. I needed to do that to at least tell myself that I wasn't a totally bad person. I slipped in through the door, trying to be as quiet as possible.The hallway leading to my bedroom was a little too quiet, and I wasn't sure if I was grateful for it since it made the echo of my hurried footsteps as I made my way back to my room all the more loud.It was frightening, especially with my heart racing like I was being chased and pounding against my ribs like a trapped bird.I felt out of control, and I hated feeling like this—like I was caught in a web of my own making, which was a hundred percent right.I shouldn’t have done it. Again.Again, being the most important word in the whole thought process, I shouldn't do it again too, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to say no. Axel’s touch still lingered on my skin, the heat of his fingers on my skin, and the memory of his smirk seared into my brain.I

    Lunette PovI stood in front of the mirror, smoothing over the soft fabric of my dress for what felt like the hundredth time. The sun was setting outside soon; soon it would be dark, but we had an hour or two.It was a simple yet elegant deep green that complemented my eyes and clung to my curves in all the right places—or so Mrs. Barlow said. I wouldn't know; I hadn't had a dress in a very long time and definitely not a new one, so it was a little confusing to know how to act now that I had one, but I was happy too.So I put it on and let out a shaky breath, my nerves tingling with anticipation as I got ready for my date. It had been days since I’d seen Alpha Cormac in the corridor that night, and since my fumbled answers to him about where I had been and what I had been doing.The days in between that had been... complicated, a very tedious dance to avoid Axel and Zarek, which was not been an easy feat considering how persistent they could be.

Rogue activities had been escalating in the last week, and tonight seemed to become a turning point, which was both annoying and relieving, as he really was spoiling for a fight. As I reached them, my father was barking orders to a group of border patrol wolves; they were supposed to have noticed this far earlier before this became a problem, so my father was pissed, which was understandable; his presence was as commanding as ever, and with Zarek standing beside him, his arms crossed and his usual stoic expression in place, they looked too alike. Was that what people saw when we all stood together?“About time you showed up,” Zarek muttered as I approached, his tone laced with irritation. “Cut it out,” I snapped, not in the mood for his sarca
