I must have fallen asleep at some point cause as soon as I open my eyes again I see that we are stopped at a gas station. Frowning I look around and notice that I am alone, panic strikes me for a moment before I look out the window to see Grey, Serena and Alpha Azrael in a heated debate. Serena is shouting in Azrael’s face while Grey stands protectively behind her. A few of the other pack members are lingering around the parking lot keeping watch but trying not to get involved. I notice Kalen standing near Azrael but not partaking in the verbal lashing that is currently happening. As I’m wondering what the hell they could be so mad about I hear a loud smack and look to see Serena slapping Azrael clean across the face. He doesn’t even flinch but there is a visible red mark on his cheek. I see Grey pull his mate back and I’m thinking he is going to apologize to his brother before he swings back and clocks him in the eye. I wasn’t expecting the ever so cheerful Grey to do that and I don’t

    The night feels like seconds as I am awoken by a soft knocking on my door. Groaning, I roll over and put my pillow over my head. “Lala it’s me,” Serena calls out softly. “Let me in please.”Sitting up I stretch and walk over to the door, unlocking it I turn around to flop face first back onto the bed. Her tinkling laughter fills the room as she shuts the door behind her. “What did you do to your hair Lala?” “I was too tired to deal with it last night, this is the consequences of my actions.” I mumble into the sheets. She’s dressed to perfection, up in down designer she looks like she should be on a runway about now. “Well we need to fix that,” she grabs my arms and drags me to the bathroom. Pushing me into the chair in front of the vanity she gets to work detangling my curls from the nest they have set themselves into. We fall into a comfortable silence as I can tell she knows I don’t really want to speak. Before I know it she’s already done, my hair is in two thick french braids t

    I must have fallen asleep at some point cause when I wake it’s nearly dawn. My hair sticks to my face from where it’s fallen out of the tightly wound braids and I’m still wearing my dress from yesterday. Stretching, I sit up and walk over to the bathroom and immediately frown at my reflection. Bloodshot sunken in eyes and pale skin. I look ill. My normally vibrant eyes take on a dull lifeless color. “Soni? Are you there?” I gently prod for my wolf. Again I’m met with silence which makes my already hollow heart feel even that much more empty. With my heart heavy, I turn on the facets and splash some cool water on my face, trying to add some color back into my face. The water seems to help because when I look back up I don’t look nearly as gaunt, but my eyes are still rimmed with red. Sighing I walk back into my room and sit on the bed to start taking the braids out. It takes some time but after about 30 minutes I’m done and am left with a curtain of curls surrounding my face.

    The day moves on slowly like the past few. I spent the morning texting my family, telling them of the progress and that we should make it to the pack by tomorrow. I don’t tell them how miserable I am because I don’t want them to worry, I’m sure they are all already pulling their hair out over my sudden departure. We stop at a small cafe for lunch, but I’m still not hungry so I get a small bowl of tortilla soup with some bread and take a few bites. I can feel Serena frowning at me at the lack of sustenance I’m putting into my body but she, thankfully, stays silent. After an uneventful afternoon, I’m jostled awake as we drive into the largest city I’ve ever seen in my life. I blink my sleepy eyes into focus and gasp at the sights around me. I can hear Serena chuckle as I press my face up against the window to get a better look. Buildings, which Serena says are skyscrapers, soar up until the sky like they are trying to touch the stars. Everything is bright and full of life. And there are

    Stepping out of the tub I realize I don’t have anything to change into. Still angry at my stupid mate I yank a towel around myself and storm out of the room. Ignoring the sharp pains that stab through my heels as I march into the bedroom. He’s sitting, his long legs stretched out in front of him drinking a dark liquid from a glass. All of his weapons have been removed and are sitting on the table in a neat row. OCD much? I wonder. His eyebrow raises slightly at my appearance, clouding slightly with the presence of his wolf.“I didn’t have anything to wear,” I tell him tightly, stomping over to my bag. I’m not paying attention and I kick the edge of the bed with my already swollen toes. “Fuck,” I hiss grabbing my foot and sitting on the bed. Azrael is on me in seconds, crouched in front of me examining my feet. “Watch where the fuck you are going.” he snaps at me. Ripping my feet from him I glare, “why the hell does it matter to you. You don’t care about us!” my eyes start burning fro

    She’s pissed and hurt, I know she is. But I have no other choice. There are too many enemies outside of the walls of my territory and by the looks of it she has no training. But goddess, she is beautiful. Pure perfection made for me by the moon goddess. It’s just until we reach the safety of my pack I must remain indifferent to her to the outside world. Every cold look and harsh word makes my gut clench as I watch her heart shaped face crumple. I lied to her, I lied to my mate. I told her she wasn’t good enough and it nearly broke me. Those bright peridot eyes turn cold as she continues to shut me out. It takes everything I have to not scoop her up and tell her how much she’s already taken hold of my heart. But I can’t. She’s not safe and I’ll be fucking damned if someone were to come after her before I even had the chance to have her myself. I’ll make it up to her, I keep telling myself. She’ll understand. “Yeah keep telling yourself that fucker,” Dade snarles in my head. He’s not en

    He stands up and stretches, “Come, you need to get some rest.”My eyebrows knit together in confusion. “In here? With you?”His head tilts to the side, “Where else would you sleep?”“In my own room. Like I have the past few nights,” I say, chewing my lower lip in confusion. Azrael shakes his head at me, “not tonight Firefly you stay with me.”I narrow my eyes at him and shout, “no way in hell I’d rather sleep on the floor.”He smirks at me, “your choice my love. But either way you are staying in the room.”I’m pissed, I don’t know what to do. The mate part inside of me is craving for his touch but the rational side knows better. She knows that I won’t be getting any sleep if I slide into that bed with him. “I don’t understand, why must you torture me by making me stay in this room with you?” I question him. He cracks his neck and lets out a deep breath. “Because I need you near me. I need you by my side, Dade is going crazy in my mind and he lashes out every second you are out of my

    Silent tears fall down my face but I bury myself into my pillow and force myself to take even breaths to hide the fact that I am crying. We lay there in silence, I keep trying to reach out to my wolf, trying to get some sort of comfort from my other half but she’s still stubbornly silent. I understand she’s hurting but so am I and I could really use her support right now. An irritated growl comes from his side of the bed and the pillows I carefully placed are ripped off the bed, flung across to the other wall. I gasp in surprise as he grabs me and pulls me into his chest. My hands quickly fly to his chest as I try to push myself away but his hold on me tightens and he rests his chin on my head. Eventually I stop fighting, too tired to do anything else and let myself relax into his embrace. My eyes droop closed and surrounded by his comforting scent I drift off to sleep. I wake up in a daze, confused by my surroundings. My nose is pressed up against a bare chest and my limbs tangled u

    I finish my business and walk over to the sink, splashing cold water on my face trying to clear my thoughts. Taking a deep breath I begrudgingly walk back out into the bedroom to face my oh so sexy mate. He’s lounging in the bed still, scrolling on his phone. I must have a look on my face because as soon as he looks up at me he drops his phone and is in front of me in seconds. “Firefly! Are you hurt?” He says in a hurry his hands are gripping my shoulders as he scans my body from head to toe. I glare at him and jerk myself free from his grasps, walking a few feet away. “AM I HURT?!” I shout. “Maybe not physically, but you dragged me away from my home, my family, everything I have ever known in life. Just to be this perfect little puppet you need. You don’t understand how lonely I’ve been, my wolf Soni, she’s gone. Who knows when the hell she’s going to return.” My once strong voice starts to crack. “So yes, Azrael I’m upset. Excuse me for feeling anything. I’m not like you, I can't

    Stepping out the massive front doors open and Dre comes strolling out, a wide smile on his face. Not a strand of his white blonde hair out of place, and his three piece suit has been pressed to perfection. Grabbing my hands, careful not to touch the silver cuffs along my wrists he kisses my hands making me cringe in disgust. “My dear it’s so good you’ve finally decided to join us.”I stiffen and glare at him, janking my hands away. “What the fuck are you doing Dre?” I sneer. His eyes flash and he pauses, smoothing his hair back, a tic I remembered him doing that last time when he’s nervous. “Alpha my dear I am an Alpha, but I'll let it slide this time as I’m sure the altitude has affected your judgment. And well claiming what is rightfully mine of course.”I roll my eyes and scoff, “I don’t belong to you dipshit. I’m marked and mated and last I checked I don’t bear your mark and your name isn’t Azrael Whitlock.”I watch him ground his teeth. His wolf surfacing in his eyes before he c

    When I wake I notice a blanket has been placed over me and Gabriel is gone. The sky is lovely as colors splash the surface as it starts to wake up. My eyes snap towards movement as Gabriel walks in from a small doorway. “The captain says that we’ll be landing in 20 minutes. From there we’ll be headed to the Grey Lake pack. To meet your future mate,” he smirks. I scowl, “He is not now and will never be my mate. I’ll die before then.”He shrugs, not caring about my reaction and plops back in his chair. “I don’t give a shit what he does with you as long as I get paid.”I tilt my head and study him. There is something off about him. His soul is trying to tell his mind a truth that he’s desperately trying to deny. “I don’t think that’s quite true.” He narrows his eyes at me as I stare at him. “You’re at war with yourself. There is a truth you’ve locked away within yourself Gabriel. One that is desperately trying to come out that is leaking at the seams.” I see a flash of emotion cross

    I walk silently beside him, his hand latched in an iron grip on my arm making it ache and I know by morning there will be a bruise. “You’re so slow,” he hisses. I tilt my head up, scowling at him, “well I am barefoot and walking in a skin tight dress, I wasn’t exactly expecting to get kidnapped was I?” I snap back. He shakes his head and glares down at me, “once we get out of the tunnels we’ll get you out of this dress.” We continue along the path and I notice that not once has Gabriel looked at the map that Karlile gave him. It remains tucked into the back pocket of his jeans. Yet he still seems to know exactly where he is going. It surprises me as I don’t even know all the secret passages and this is my home. We continue the silence and after a few more turns the night sky finally reappears above us. “Follow my steps exactly,” he whispers. He’s agile like a cat, slinking along the shadows and I do my best to keep up. Willow’s fate is riding on this and I know that Azrael won’t be a

    Out of the shadows emerges a young man, he’s large, like the gyms is his only friend kind of large, and is probably about 16 or 17 years of age. His hands are stuffed into his leather jacket and he lazily walks over to stand by Karlile’s side. Goosebumps rise on my arms and the back of my neck as his crystal blue eyes look up to me. I’m surprised by the emptiness that I see inside them. Someone his age should still have the innocence of youth pooling through them but his eyes are like empty glass orbs. I don’t need the wind to tell me that the guy in front of me is a hunter. Willows taught me to be able to identify others by the magic that buzzes around him. Every living thing attracts certain types of magic. While I don’t see colors around them, I associate the types of magic with a color. Sirens have blue or calming magic, wolves have silver or physical magic and Daemons have purple or chaos magic.I’ve never met a hunter myself but from what I’ve learned is that magic avoids them li

    I’m not sure if it’s the dancing or all the champagne but as Azrael spins me around again my head starts to feel fuzzy. He pulls me into his arms, cradling my face in his hands. I reach up and grab his wrists with my hands. “You know, you look absolutely ravishing my love,” he whispers to me. I giggle, my face breaking out in a wide smile. “So you’ve been telling me all night.” I rest my head against his chest as we sway to the music. In a few days time we were headed back to my home pack to celebrate the new year with my family. The Forest Moon pack always had lovely decorations for the holidays, just as nice as we have here. We invited them to come up for the holidays but mom is far too long in her pregnancy that it’s not safe for her to travel anymore. The song ends and I pull away, smiling up at my mate. “I’m going to go get some air. I'm feeling a little dizzy.” He frowns, “everything okay?” Shaking my head I wince but flash him a reassuring smile, “nothing some crisp cool air ca

    The next couple of weeks pass by quickly and relatively smoothly. The snow from the mountains has made its way down and covered our castle, making it look like someone took a very large piping bag and painted it with white frosting. The town has been covered in decorations for the past month, really bringing in the Christmas spirit. We never really had snow in my old pack so while Azrael is already sick of it I’m relishing the time that I have with it. I’ve settled in a nice routine where I take care of any of my Luna duties in the morning, train with Willow in the early afternoon and spend the rest of the evening with Azrael and/or the other ranked pack members and family. I spend a lot of my time with Serena, but now that Sophie is feeling much better she’s been spending more and more time with us as well. It’s Christmas Eve and Alice has planned this elaborate ball to celebrate the occasion. I’m currently sitting on my vanity chair as Serena pins up my dark curls in ways that I wi

    I sit on my couch, with my legs curled up to my chest, looking out the window with worry. Azrael said it was going to be fine but I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread. Rogues were common but I still didn’t like the idea of him going out into their territory. He didn’t let me go with him to send Margo off, saying it could be too dangerous. Serena offered to keep me company but I politely declined. As much as I love her this was something I wanted to do by myself. I needed to strengthen my resolve. It was gloomy outside and looked like it was about to start raining, what if that made it harder for them to see? What if they got ambushed? I know they were only dropping her off at the border but frustration bubbled up inside of me and I looked down at my hands. If only I could harness my power better than I could help them and this pack. Willow said I was close to mastering the wind. I just had to get a hold of my emotions. The door slammed open and shook me from my thoughts. The smell of

    I roll my shoulders and straighten my back as I once again stand at the top of the stairs leading down to the dungeons. Azrael is standing at my side and behind us is Margo’s family. My heart aches for them but her actions are unforgivable and it would be a crime against the pack to allow her to continue staying here. As angry as she made me I really tried to come up with another way to punish her but nothing was good enough. Kane wanted vengeance for what happened to his mate and I completely understood where he was coming from. If the roles were reversed she would already be dead. Scar looks down at me and gives me a reassuring smile before placing his hand on the doorway, unlocking it. The entrance to the dungeon was enchanted. There were no handles on the entrance, making it impossible to open. Only those who were given access could place their hand on the stone wall and then it would open like a secret passage. Making our way down the dark stairwell I blink my eyes, quickly adju

    Ilayda sits in my chair behind the desk. Even being dwarfed by my large chair she sits up, her back straight and eyes attentive looking every bit the powerful Luna she is. I lean my arms crossed in front of my desk, slightly off to the side so she can still see. Reggie and Tiana, Margo’s mother and father, sit in the two chairs in front of me, eyes tired as their oldest, twin boys Carmen and Cias stand behind them. Carmen is a succubus like their mother and Cias turned out to be a Marquis to the surprise and pride of his parents as Reggie is a wolf. The room is tense as they wait to hear the fate of their youngest. I roll my neck, cracking it before sighing, “I assume you know why I’ve called you all here. Margo’s fate has been decided.” I pause, taking in their facial expression. Not surprisingly no one seems hopeful. They are all very well aware of the likely consequences of her actions and are mostly here to get it over with. “She will not be sentenced to death by our hand, howeve
