The new life suits me. The scent of fresh pine and the gentle creaking of floorboards beneath my feet greeted me as I stepped into my new room from a long day of training. Compared to the warrior quarters I was accustomed to, this room was spacious and adorned with elegant, wooden furniture, creat
It was another goddess-forsaken full moon night.And yet, here I am, standing still tonight, witnessing another transformational moment in my life."Did you and Abby set this up?" I asked with a nervous laugh, hoping to ease the sudden tension between us."Yes, because I have something really import
AlexSomething must've gone wrong.I stood there, frozen in disbelief. This was NOT happening. This couldn’t be happening. Dr. Taylor's words echoed in my head: Kailani is dying.“I know this is a lot to take in, but…” Dr. Taylor continued."Could you repeat that?" I asked, cutting him off, my voi
Alex"Given her current condition, I would say about 12 months, maybe 18 at most," Dr. Taylor replied, his expression somber. "It's important that she doesn't strain her body during this time. It’s a shame really. I was there when she competed. She would have been a wonderful warrior.""That was her
AlexI found Kailani sitting up in bed, her gaze fixed on the view outside the window. Her expression was distant and contemplative, making my heart ache at the thought of losing her. I forced myself to speak. "Did you hear all of that?" I asked, swallowing the lump in my throat. Kailani nodded,
Alex"God, this just keeps getting worse," Kailani muttered, rubbing her temples."Even though I'd want nothing more than to drag Dr. Mitchell back here and force her to fix you, it would probably make things worse and bring dishonor to our pack," I explained, feeling the burden of responsibility pr
KailaniThe hospital and I don't seem to get along very well, either in the past or in the present.The sun was setting as I stepped out of the hospital, my heart pounding in anticipation. It had been over a week since I was admitted, and I couldn't wait to return home. The hospital staff had been
Kailani“I know that, but…” I started. "Kailani," Luna Melanie said, her eyes meeting mine with fierce determination. "No matter what you choose, the Blood Rose pack will always welcome you back. We do not abandon our members. You are family, and we'll support your decision." "I appreciate that,"
Kailani”If a person is deemed worthy, the path to the wolf den will be revealed to them and they can go to challenge the wolves. If that person wins, they can choose a wolf. If the wolf does not accept that person, even after winning, that person will be killed. But if accepted, in the place blesse
Kailani“Every year, the Dark Brood pack goes to the black market for an exchange event. Other packs go there too to harvest beasts with potential,” Veil explains, her tone brisk as she resumes walking. “Packs will exchange wolves in an auction. Then the selected will go through the wolf exchange pr
KailaniI know my days are numbered. I was failing at convincing Houston to trust me. I was no closer than I was when I first arrived. I force a smile, trying to keep my voice light. “If I died, would you miss your troublesome apprentice?” Veil rolls her eyes and scoffs at me. “That’s a pointless
KailaniI've been living with the Dark Brood pack for almost four months, though it feels like a lifetime. Time here has a way of blurring, each day bleeding into the next until I can't tell where one ends, and another begins. My status within the pack has shifted subtly. I hadn’t noticed until Mad
DamianAbby frowned at Terry and said, “Do you think because we’re here that I care about your attitude? Let’s not forget you almost mated a terrible bitch of woman that abused her own sister, so your decision making skills aren’t that high up there."That‘s my girl!I couldn’t help but smirk at her
DamianEverything was coming together.I was surprised at how easy it was to convince Alpha heir Terry to hear out of my proposition. He must be truly desperate to find whoever this mysterious woman. I had heard about him breaking off his engagement with Kim, the eldest daughter of the Iron Claw pac
Abby“I know,” I responded as I left my room and made my way to my parents’ room. Once Alex had brought me home in a wheelchair, my parents didn’t leave me alone. I was under house arrest for an entire month as I fully recovered.I hesitated at their door before thrusting the door open."Mom, Dad,"
AbbyWater droplets clung to my skin as I stepped out of the shower, steam clouding the glass door behind me. My muscles ached from another rigorous workout session, an attempt to distract myself from the thoughts that plagued me. But as much as I tried, my mind kept returning to Kailani and the gui
Terry“Listen kid, I told you…”I quickly grabbed him by the neck and squeezed hard. My claws digging into his flesh. “I have limited patience. Tell me what you’re hiding or I’ll break your neck right here, right now.”“Okay, okay, okay,” the man choked out and I released him. “The only thing I foun
