I put my head down on the table and sigh. Tilting my head I narrow my eyes at Drago who’s minding his own business, deep into his book, not a care in the world. Clearing my throat, “Mmhm”. He doesn’t budge. I tear off a piece off the notepad and wad it up into a ball, chucking it at his head. His hand snaps up grabbing the ball before it hits its target. I wait as he finishes up his page and looks up. Raising one of his eyebrows, “Yes Luna?”

“If you don’t mind waiting outside the library. The things I want to talk to Serena about aren’t something I feel comfortable doing with you around.” He frowns, confliction flashing in his eyes. “Please,” I beg him, “just right outside the door.” After a few moments he nods. “But right outside the door okay?” I smile at him, watching his frame retreat until the door closes behind him. I spin around and grab Serena’s hands. “I need your help. I want to fully accept Azrael.”

Her eyes widen and a wide smile crosses her face. “That’s wonderful news!

    I’m awoken by kisses along my neck from Azrael. A moan escapes me before I’m able to contain it. Rolling away from him I overshoot and I fall off the bed with a loud thunk. “Firefly!” Azrael shouts running around the bed to pick me up off the floor, “Are you okay?”“Yeah I’m fine,” rubbing my back from the pain, seeing that the sun was barely risen, I frown, “Why did you wake me up so early.”Azrael chuckles, placing a kiss on my head, “remember last night at dinner. I mentioned wanting you to get acquainted with everyone’s wolves today. And you got so excited and wanted to do it right away. But I suggested we do it early in the morning and away from too many eyes because I remember you telling me Soni is a little special.” The events from last night come racing back and I remember. “Oh yeah I did do that.” He gives me a light nudge towards my dressing room, “go put on something comfortable but warm, it’s getting cooler out now so I want you to stay warm when you aren’t in wolf form

    The world sharpens and Soni blinks her eyes, adjusting to the clarity of her vision. Looking down I see two small sparkling white gold paws. Azrael and I aren’t mated yet so we can't mind-link, meaning Soni can’t talk to Dade yet. If I thought Dade was large then he’s absolutely enormous compared to Soni, towering over her small frame. The shadows seem to shift and Dade’s form shrinks to the size of a regular sized male wolf. Walking up to her slowly he lets out a soft whine. She tilts her head up and like a puppy starts wagging her tail at him. He bounds over to her making her yip and playfully run away. “Remember what we talked about Soni. No mating.” I remind my wolf. We had a chat earlier where I told her that she isn’t allowed to mate with him until after Azrael and I mate. Especially because they can’t communicate properly until then and I don’t want her getting hurt. I feel her roll her eyes at me, “I know Ila. But you never said I couldn’t have a little fun.” She giggles an

    I rub my eyes, fatigue suddenly weighing heavy on me before sighing, “Scar, what I have to say cannot leave this room.” I look warily at Serena. “While Serena is convinced of the person behind what I’m going to tell you. I’m not completely sure yet. I’ll get to that in a minute. But I am absolutely 100% sure that Sophie, Kalen’s mate, is being poisoned.” Confusion falls across his face and he leans back in his chair. “My love, how do you know this?” He asks curiously. I notice the window is cracked open as I feel a slight breeze caress the back of my neck and I try to center myself and not let my anger get the better of me at his disbelief. “I know it’s hard to believe but the other day I met her. It’s obvious that she’s very sick and not doing well. I noticed she was drinking this tea. As you know my father is the pack doctor at my home pack and he specialized in holistic medicine. So I was curious to see what was in what she was drinking as she said she didn’t know but that it w

    I rush over to my dressing room with Serena hot on my tail. Rummaging through my backpack I grab the small pouch filled with the different types of seeds and put it in my pocket. I stand up and look at Serena “Let’s go to Willow’s garden. I can plant these there.” She nods and takes my hand. We walk as casually as we can but anxiety courses through us at the thought of saving Sophie. Poor Drago, my ever dutiful guard, is following behind, not sure what the hell is going on. We make it to the garden and I rush over to Willow, pressing my head against her trunk, ‘Good afternoon Willow, please grant us your support today.’ I feel a warmth surround us, sending a feeling of calm through my body. “Thank you for your support Willow.” Serena bows in front of the tree. I told her about Willow being the tree and while she doesn’t feel her like Az and I do, she believes us and greets her everytime we come in here. She smiles at me, “I felt her that time!” A small bubble of pride fills my heart

    Carefully I measure everything out. Placing the desired amount in little piles and triple checking my work before grinding them down into a fine powder. My father always applauded my ability to create all sorts of different elixirs and remedies and my aunt used to always joke that I had a little witch in me. I pour the powders into a glass measuring cup and place it over my small bunsen burner, letting the powders melt together and mix to create a light blue color. After letting it cool I fill water to the 1 cup line, a spoonful of honey for a little sweetness and to change the color to a deep green instead of light blue and a sprinkle of pixie dust for good luck. I was worried the light blue would give it away the flower used to make the cure and I didn’t want anyone knowing that we were on to them. I’m just finishing pouring the tonic into separate vials when I hear a soft knock on my door. Knowing it’s Serena I wave my hand for the wind to open the door. The lock clicks and she wal

    Serena stretches her arms over her head, her eyes looking tired. “While I’m glad Sophie’s getting better, this day has worn me out. I’m going to go take a nap and fill Grey in about all this. He’s been nagging me all morning about what the hell I've been doing. Don’t worry he won’t say a word.” She gives me hugs and wanders off to her rooms, a little further down the hall. Azrael intertwines his fingers with mine and we walk towards our rooms. “You dismissed Drago for the rest of the day. Are you done working?” I look up at him and ask. He tilts his head down, “Yeah. I took care of what I needed to get done. Today has been a lot and I need a break.” I nod and let him guide us back. Closing the door behind him he collapses on the couch. I run over and climb into his lap, running my hands through his hair, “Scar, what’s wrong?”He looks haggard. Now that we are behind closed doors he is finally letting his true emotions show. “Someone got away with poisoning a vital member of my pack

    I blink my eyes open, and I'm curled up in Azrael’s arms. He’s wrapped me in a blanket and is carrying me, my mind finally clears and I remember everything that happened. My limbs are achy in a good way but embarrassment floods me at the fact that I passed out after just one round of sex. “How long was I out for?”He looks down at me and smiles, kissing my cheek, “Just a few minutes.” Walking into the bathroom I see he’s started a bath. Carefully he steps inside and sits, placing me between his legs. He grabs the soap and gently starts washing my body, massaging my sore limbs. I find my eyes growing heavy until I feel him tense and his hands freeze near my mark. “That’s curious,” he murmurs. “Firefly, can you look at my mark?” I turn around in the bath and brush the bubbles away from his neck. My eyes widen and I gasp. Instead of the usual bite mark, there is an image of my horns, but instead of being white they look to be made of shadow. I trace my fingers over it, looking up to meet

    “SAY THAT AGAIN!” I scream at the omega standing in front of me. He quivers in fear falling to his knees, my aura weighing down him. “Alpha,” he stutters, “It seems that hiring Miss. Whitlock as the new pack doctor was all a ruse.” He swallows thickly, “her and Azrael are said to be fated mates and her Luna ceremony is next week.” Shakily he places an envelope on my desk. “Our spies intercepted this invitation meant for another pack.”I snatch the envelope and tear it open. In bold letters it reads, Luna Ceremony of Ilayda Whitlock, I don’t even read the rest before crumpling up the letter and throwing it in the fire. My father strolls in, moving without a care in the world, “Son I feel your presence from the other side of the pack house what could possibly be the matter?”“GET OUT!” I shout at the omega and he scampers away, the door slamming loudly behind him. “They lied to us,” I seethe. “Ilayda is Azrael's fated mate, not some stupid pack doctor sent to create bonds.” My father’s

    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
