author povEveryone sat mulling over the words of the prophecy, Hyperion suggested going through the prophecy line by line. He gruffly addressed Mother Luna of the Starlight pack and her fey friend, "Ladies, would you mind repeating the first two lines?" Theia smiled encouragingly at them; she wante
Yanylla stammered at first but stopped and repeated more firmly, "One of starlight travels the land to find the moons.""Again, simple, if staying with our theme, the Starlight Pack just traveled from their land to here to meet up with Snow Moon and Moon Touched, the two moons, to discuss the prophe
It was Hyperion who confronted Zeus, "I noticed that you were quiet throughout the night, Zeus. Was this not something you wished to be part of?"Zeus sighed and revealed, "This is one of those times that I am not able to interfere with the outcome of a situation. The outcome affects the evolution o
author povNathan lay next to Katia, watching her sleep and thinking about the last week. She had not come back from near death the same. She and Selene had come back less emotionally damaged. They still had physical and emotional trauma, but it was different. Katia no longer acted like a spoiled ch
"I heard that Dalia and you fought, and she kicked your as-." Nathan leaned around and planted a kiss on the side of her mouth before she could finish her sentence."I am sure that you heard that story from my sister, as she bragged to you about it. Honestly, though, she and I have had several physi
author povSelene smiled admiringly at the new mark on her neck. She was inspecting it while looking in her mirror; as she turned her head slightly, she noticed the moon with a wolf resembling Lorn's looking lovingly up at it. They were surrounded by stars. If she remembers correctly, her mark was v
Nathan clapped Mark on the back and praised, "Katia made the best wolf alpha of Moon Touched when she chose you. Thank you for holding things together during everything that has been going on. I promise that now that the twins are awake and mending, I will also return to my responsibilities."Talon

The final goodbye to Isla, Nila, and Neela left an ache in my chest that wouldn’t ease, no matter how many deep breaths I took. The weight of grief hung thick in the air, clinging to each of us like a second skin. No one returned to the fire pit afterward. There were no more words left to say, no en
The barrier drops, and Demon is there to help us through and keep the idiots out. Once we are all through and the barrier is back in place, we head to the pit. The fire is barely ever out anymore. The bonfire has become the center of our pack. It is where we end up for everything, no matter the weat
Walking the last few miles toward what was now my new home with my mate, family, and pack, I watched Katia. Something had changed in her, Selene, her sister, and my mate. Whatever it was, it weighed heavily on our Alpha Luna. Her mate Nathan kept glancing back at her, his brow furrowed. I could feel
We sat there for what felt like an eternity, the silence pressing against my ears like a scream held too long. Time blurred in the heavy stillness, broken only by the quiet sobs and the rustle of leaves under careful steps. We mourned lives we had barely known, souls who had barely brushed our world
Mark was right behind her, but he froze, his eyes locked on the fire as realization dawned. He moved to help, tearing away the burning debris with shaking hands."Oh, Goddess… no."I threw my hands over the mother’s ears, trying to shield her from the sounds, but her eyes were rolling back when I lo

“No,” Agnes said softly, a tear slipping down her cheek. “She wasn’t crazy, Alpha. She was doing everything she could to keep her babies alive. She fed them what little milk her body could produce and kept them quiet and safe.”I couldn’t stay quiet anymore. The weight of it was too much.“They were
I had no idea how long we had been running. The cool air rushed past me, carrying the scent of damp earth and the ever-present forest musk. The steady sound of paws pounding against the ground echoed through the trees as we followed the river, its shimmering surface guiding us. My heart hammered in
