“Sorry about this.” I breathed out as Iris and Talon met us at the border. Iris was glowing; she was settling in with her mate well, from what I could tell.
“You know you aren’t troubling me.” Iris grinned at me, but I saw Talon roll his eyes. Iris may not be bothered, but Talon was. I’m sure babysitting was not his favorite thing; in all honesty, it kind of reminded me of Alastor showing me around Black Moon when I first arrived.
“It’s not like we will be doing it for much longer,” Matt grumbled from behind me, immediately followed by a small yelp. I shook my head and sighed. I knew Pru had jabbed her elbow in his ribs.
“Yeah, you all will be going ho

Rose “Come on, Lorraine!” I grasped at my sister’s wrist. “Please, just listen to me!” “Rose, don’t you realize how crazy you sound? There is no way that Luna Emma had anything to do with the disappearances.” Lorraine shook her head from side to side as she stepped away from me. “Lorraine, I am being serious. You know something is going on in your pack; remember you reached out to me?” I followed her. “I know I did, but the Luna of my pack wouldn’t put us in danger like that.” Lorraine sat down at her vanity and began to brush out her locks. Her eyes flashed up to mine in the mirror. “How can you expect me to abandon my pack?” “I’m not asking you

Rose Leaves crunched softly underneath my feet as I paced the edge of the Red Spruce border. I had gotten my sister and Austin out and even managed to smuggle out Zara, her mom, and her son. They were safe in Lunar Lake, but I wouldn’t be able to smuggle out every member of Red Spruce; it was impossible. “What now?” Pru’s voice pulled me back into reality. “I don’t know,” I admitted, a bit defeated sounding. How was I supposed to know what to do next? I had been haphazardly winging it since we got here. Everything we had done and found out was by sheer coincidence. “We got people out, so that’s something at least.” Matt offered our hollow victory. “That’s not what we came to do, though.” Orion leaned up against a tree, his blue orbs following me wherever I wandered. “But…what can we do?” Pru’s voice shook slightly, but into words what had been plaguing me for a while. What could we do? I was supposed to come up here and figure out what

Rose “You aren’t allowed to be here. This place is the sacred property of the pack.” Beta Zachary stomped through the rows of graves towards us. An angry vein throbbed at his temple. “No one told us that we were not allowed here.” Orion crossed his arms across his chest as he instinctively stepped in front of me. “You should have never assumed you were allowed here!” Beta Zachary threw his arms in the air. “Why would we not be allowed here?” Matt asked as he stepped up beside Orion. “Y-you aren’t allowed here.” Beta Zachary stuttered out; the more he spoke, the more he reeked of utter bullshit. “Are you sure you just don’t want us sticking our noses into the history of the pack?” I asked as I threw my hands on my hips. ***Rose.*** Orion’s voice slipped into my mind, warning me not to push, but I couldn’t resist. “Why is it that the previous Alpha’s headstone is lying in a pile of rubble? You would think that the previou

Rose “What happened to your father?” As the words dripped from my lips, I saw the fear flicker in her eyes. I had touched a sensitive nerve clearly, but something about the way her throat clenched told me that it wasn’t just the pain of losing a parent. “W-what do you mean, Luna Rose?” Luna Emma wasn’t fast enough to hide the truth that lingered in the muscles of her face. “How did your father come to pass?” I glided past Luna Emma and walked towards her desk. “Why does it matter to you?” Luna Emma was hot on my heel; she was so close I could feel the warmth of her breath dancing across the back of my n

Rose “How did you know about my aunt?” Luna Emma tried to back away but tripped on her feet, causing her to stumble to the ground. I reached my hand out to help her stand back up, but she scooted away from me. “Remember when you told me that my gift was invasive?” I sighed as I squatted down in front of her. “Yes...” Luna Emma’s face scrunched up as her eyes darted across my face. “I saw the day your mom decided to teach you how to write enchantments. She spoke of your aunt’s spirit magic. I think it’s time to come clean Luna Emma. I’m standing here with my hand out; come on, take it.” I offered my hand again as I looked her in the eye. Fear and caution ran across her face. I nodded at her, trying to encoura

Rose I gasped as I came back to the present and stumbled back from Luna Emma. I felt Orion’s hand at the small of my back, steadying me. “You saw something, didn’t you?” Luna Emma’s eyes fell to the ground. “I did. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” I shook my head. “No, it’s fine. What did you see?” “When Alpha Jasper found out about Colton.” As soon as the words left my lips, Alpha Daughtry’s shoulders dropped. “What about Colton?” Matt asked curiously. I looked at Luna Emma, trying to gauge if I needed to speak up, but as soon

Iris I walked through the Lunar Lake pack with my elbow locked around Avi’s arm. I felt the eyes of random girls who had lusted after their Alpha. I probably would have found it unnerving if I had been anyone else, but I got a kick out of it. I enjoyed knowing that he was mine; jealousy wasn’t a word I knew when it came to him. “You know you don’t have to smirk every time you pass the women.” Avi purred lowly in my ear. Goddess, I loved when he did that; goosebumps spread like wildfire down my arms. “I know I don’t have to.” I winked at him. “Behave,” Avi’s tongue flitted out and licked his bottom lip. Damn, if he kept that up, the entire pack would know how easily he turned me on. “What if I don’t want to?” “If you are a good girl, I’ll give you a funishment later.” “Now you are talking my language.” “Keep it in your pants, Iris.” I grinned like an idiot as I let him lead me out of town and towards the border.

Rose Iris looked less than thrilled about the story we told her. I knew she was having a hard time accepting it. We had been keeping her a little bit in the dark, but that was so that she could enjoy finding her mate. Eventually, I would have to stop trying to shield her from things. She would be the Luna of Lunar Lake soon, so I wouldn’t be able to do it for much longer. “So Avi can cross the border?” Iris sighed as she scratched her head. “Technically, he can, but I wouldn’t suggest it.” I shook my head. I would hate for Avi to react like Orion did when we were close to the crystal. “Then what are we going to do?” Iris looked over at her mate; underneath the surface of her emerald eyes, I knew that she was

Rose"It was like watching a bad car crash; you couldn't look away, but instead of a gory blood bath, nothing happened. Not even a spark or unusual noise. It took a minute for everyone to realize what happened or what didn't happen." I sighed out into the cup of coffee Iris handed me. My head throbbed, trying to put the past few hours into factual words.We were in the woods, in the unclaimed land between the packs. We had made a temporary meet-up place here after the anti-climatic scene. We were checking in with Iris and giving our minds a break from the heavy atmosphere surrounding the Alpha's family.Iris sat down on the fallen tree beside me. She poured herself some coffee out of the thermos she had brought with her. "I don't even know what to say.""You could tell Luna Emma was relieved, and honestly, I would have been more concerned if she hadn't been." My head hung down, staring down at the ground. "I could never hold it against someone who was relieved that their child did not

RoseWe swept the Red Spruce territory, checking every home and piece of land we could imagine, but we needed help finding Luna Emma or Colton. We knew where Alpha Daughtry was. Surprisingly, he acted like an Alpha should; he was shepherding his pack, ensuring they were alright and keeping the bubbling emotions of fear at bay. I may not have thought much of the man, but in those moments of evacuating his pack, he had a glimmer of redemption, but I knew it wouldn't be enough at the end of this ordeal."Where have we not looked?" Orion groaned as he shoved a handful of hair out of his face. Sweat was starting to drip from his nose because of our widespread search. His eyes scanned the horizon as if the answer would magically appear."What about the graveyard?" Matt questioned with concern in his eyes. I gave him a slight nod in reassurance. "We haven't checked there. There's no shelter, so it wouldn't be an ideal place to go, but then again, nothing about this place is ideal." Orion gr

Rose The seconds that ticked by felt like an eternity as I watched Pru; her body was frozen in place like a statue forgotten by time. The only slight movement I could detect was her chest's slight rise and fall as she breathed. Matt was going to kill me. I paced around Pru and the demonic crystal; the only noises were the distant water drip and my footsteps. Round and round, I went circling Pru and that crystal. I felt like a vulture circling a dead carcass and shivered at the thought. I stopped before Pru and dropped to my knees, "Pru? Are you okay?" Of course, she wasn't answering me. I don't know what I expected or secretly hoped for. Dread started to claw at the edges of my mind. I felt a brush of warmth caress my mind. It was Delilah. Even though we had not been in sync recently, she was letting me know she was there and that I wasn't alone. "Thanks," I humbly whispered out loud as I stood up and stepped back. Delilah did not answer me, but I felt her warmth as she stayed nea

Pru Air hissed by me as I focused on the fluffy tail of Maera. Before I knew what was happening, my body collided with something so hard my breath from my lungs escaped, as it felt like I had burst through a glass wall. I squinted my eyes shut and threw my arms over my head, trying to protect myself from the impact. When I pried, my eyes opened Maera had vanished. I scrambled to my feet and brushed myself off. No longer was I in the town; I did not know where I had ended up this time. I looked around, finding myself in what looked like a dark cavern. My footsteps echoed softly as I walked along the wall of the cave. I reached my hand up and casually grazed fingers across the border. It wasn’t rock; it was cool to the touch and as smooth as glass. It was crystal; I had finally found my way to the heart. I let out a sigh of relief as I peeled my hand from the wall. I was getting closer. The sooner I was done here, the sooner I could get back to Rose, and the sooner I could get back t

Pru A flash of powerful lightning licked the air around me as I fell into the abysses. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end as a scorching breeze whizzed past me. The temperature cranked up the further I descended. Sweat rolled off my brow and evaporated instantly, leaving only the whisper of its presence. I couldn’t tell you how long I was falling; it could have been seconds, minutes, or hours. The further I plunged, the quicker I lost track of time. It was just me and the darkness, but this wasn’t the darkness I knew. With every inhale, the air was sharp and painful, almost as if venom was seeping into my veins. Each breath was more brutal than the last; it was like an elephant was stomping on my lungs. Abruptly, dozens of tiny red orbs rained down on me with a crack of irate lightning, the souls. In my freefall, I reached out and touched one of the wisps. It burst into violent flames, and a cloud of thick black smoke poured. I coughed as I tried to wave the smog away, bu

Rose“What do you mean, Pru?” I asked with a shaky voice. I trusted Pru with my life, but my stomach knotted at her words. Why was it best the guys weren’t here?“Do you trust me, Rose?” Pru’s eyes reflect the soft glow of the crystal.“Of course I do, but what are you going to do?”“Promise you won’t tell Matt.” Pru’s eyes fell to the stone floor.“I-I promise.” I gulped and nodded. As soon as the words left my lips, Pru turned to face the crystal.Pru fell to her knees in front of the pedestal and lifted her hands to the crystal. It was only then did it hit me what she was going to do.*************************************************************PruAfter I officially joined the Black Moon pack, Matthew and I had some growing pains.

RoseThe floorboards creaked underneath our feet as Pru and I crept through the empty packhouse. Even though I knew no one was around, I couldn’t help but shake the feeling that we were being watched.“Rose,” Pru’s voice was soft and comforting. She wasn’t looking for a response. If anything, she was reassuring me that I wasn’t alone in this, that she would be by my side.I nodded at her and tried to lift my chin higher as we walked to Luna Emma’s study. Did Pru and I know what we were doing? Hell, no, but we would wing it until we destroyed that damn crystal.Once we were in Luna Emma’s study, Pru’s eyes ran wild, taking in everything she could. If we had the time, I knew she would love to go through everything in the room and soak up all the information she could.I immediately stepped up to the desk like it was second nature and rummaged through the drawer to open the secret passage.

Orion I watched as a sea of confused faces streamed past me into the forest. Children, women, and men filed past me. Each one was more oblivious than the last. I couldn’t believe this was where we were at now. I had never even thought about potentially evacuating my pack, but then again, I had never tried to kill them all. There is no way we could have asked Iris to try to convince Alpha Avi to have Lunar Lake house any more of the Red Cedar pack members. After the magic was snuffed out, or maybe even contained, what was going to happen? There was no way in hell I would just leave Alpha Daughtry and Luna Emma in charge of their pack. I doubt there was any hope for them. If their pack members didn’t kill them first, we would have to report them to the council. Realistic

Rose The sun lazily crept through the curtains of the packhouse, shedding a golden pool onto a fruit bowl on the countertop. I sat at the kitchen bar, staring at a bruised banana, tapping my fingernails on the counter. The noise echoed throughout the empty room as my heart chaotically hammered away in my chest. It had taken everything in me to walk away from my mate and come back to this house. He was on the other side of the border; he was safe, for now. Matt and Orion were helping evacuate the oblivious pack members. None of the villagers knew the truth; they just knew that they were being forced out of their homes and evacuated into the woods. Eventually, the truth would be revealed, and that is when the shit would hit the fan. All the stability of their pack would
