I was pissed. Unbelievably pissed.Wolves stared at me. None of them willing to look me in the eyes. Either because I was the Silver Fox or because I was craving blood. Probably both.“Vienna.” A deep voice called my name. “Where did they go?”I shrugged. “I don’t know.”“Why could we not attack?”“Because they would have killed you.” I told him honestly.“How did they disappear?”“No clue.”“Was it all an illusion?”“I can’t see how, but I have no idea.”“Are they gone for good?”“Doesn’t matter, they’ll be back.”“What do you know?”I stopped moving, turning to face Cassar, my eyes glowed a bright silver. “All I know is that they are capable of anything. They use an old dark power that no mortal should have heard about, and they just put a target on the Viribus Pack.”Cassar’s eyes were black with rage, his body shaking. It would not be easy to see creatures come and go on his territory, and he couldn’t even do anything about it.I tuned around heading towards the North. To the one
“Can you just be mad?” I glared at him, nothing making sense. “I am the Silver Fox. The Queen of Tricks. You are supposed to hate me. I am the type of creature you kill at first sight. I stand for everything you hate.”“I don’t hate you.”“Why not? How are you not mad about all the things I’ve done?”“Vienna, you are my mate.” He spoke slowly so I could understand. “You are my gift from the moon goddess. Nothing changes that.”“Maybe it’s true. I did trick you into thinking I’m your mate.”Cassar shook his head knowingly. “Not the way you’ve been fighting the mating bond.”“Maybe that’s the plan. Reverse psychology.” I shrugged a shoulder. “Makes you want me more.”Cassar shook his head, the annoying wolfish grin still on face. “Not possible, babe.”“Don’t call me babe.” I hissed under my breath, annoyed at the stupid but almost smart alpha that was standing so close.He even had the guts to deepen his smirk. “If you really wanted protection, or money, or whatever foxes want, you woul
He reached for my arm but I pulled it away from his grasp before we could touch.I didn’t bother turning around to face him, I just kept walking. “Those foxes found me. It’s only a matter of time before they come again. I don’t plan on being around for that.”I had to get away. Not just from the foxes, but from him.I was in too deep, and I was just now learning that I didn’t know how to swim.Cassar shouted at me, trying to pull me back.I avoided his touch and jumped away from him. I don’t know what would happen if I felt that heat one more time.With those final words I shifted.Now that he knew I was the Silver Fox, I didn’t hide her. Any of her.Silver and white fur sprouted from skin. My bones snapping into a new form. Claws and canines sharpening.Most foxes’ fur changed colour depending on the season, but I never let my own.I wanted creatures to know who I was. I wanted them to know who was coming for them. Hence the nickname, Silver Fox.So when I shifted, I proved that what
A weak smile spread across my cracked lips at the realization. I no longer had dark spots lining my vision. Vile wasn’t rising from my throat. My body didn’t feel like it was being pulled back to a certain asshole alpha.I had broken the blood-tie. It must have snapped during the crash. It’s only unfortunate that I crashed the car before I could get even further.I would have done a maniacal laugh if my rib cage wasn’t in my throat.The forest was now deadly calm. Any animals around would have already run for the hills from the Ferrari loosing control.I shuddered at the scene in front of me. Fallen trees littered the ground. The fast car had been pulverized into nothing. Pieces of the vehicle flown about the crash site. Glass littered the forest floor.I had to get out of here before Cassar killed me just for hurting his trees.I struggled to sit up. My muscles screamed at me to stay where I was. I spit out some blood that pooled in my mouth.I almost vomited at the sight of myself.
Teddy was bigger and younger then her, but he was still new. They were both trained fighters, but Teddy was not as experienced. His movements weren’t sure. His attacks were not powerful enough. The older wolf used that to her advantage.I lunged my broken body forward, reaching for a piece of metal. It was jagged, thin and long. I didn’t know what part of the car it came from, but it would do.It was the only source of weapon I could find on such short notice. I cursed myself for not grabbing my gun earlier. I never learned.I almost cried in pain as I rolled to my hurt shoulder. Freeing my good arm, I took aim.The female pushed Teddy off of her. She scratched at his underbelly. Fur flew all over the place as they wrestled.“Teddy, down.” I screamed at him.In one fluid motion he dropped to the ground. The female was shocked as I sent the metal flying towards her rib cage.This time, it didn’t go through the target. The piece of metal lodged itself between two of her ribs.She howled
The female was just trying to protect her pack. She saw me as the enemy and she had the guts to do something about it. I could respect that. Even if she was all wrong about it.He didn’t say anything, an angry scowl lined his face. His eyes glazing over. Mind linking the rest of the pack.I only sat there for a moment before my brain started working again. “You’re naked.”I attempted pushing myself away from his grasp. “I’m wearing pants.”“Well do you own a shirt?”His one hand held onto my wrists, not letting me get very far. Cassar’s eyes grew twice the size as he saw all of my blood.“Where is the pack doctor?” He barked.I rolled my eyes at him, wiggling out of his grip. “I’m fine.”“No. You’re not.” He growled, running his arms along my own. Checking all of my injuries.“Yes. I am.” I told him slapping his hands away.I rolled on my ankles falling on my butt. I did my best to hide the pain.“You have to stop this.” He growled shaking his head, assessing how bad my injuries were.
In no time Cassar entered the pack village.Wolves lived throughout the whole territory, but the majority of the wolf families lived in the small town. Every pack had one, though Viribus’s town was bigger than others.The village looked like a normal cluster of homes. Though it was designed to give wolves privacy away from prying human eyes.If any wolf needed something they would have to travel to the closest human town for food, schooling, and more. Though every pack had a doctor who specialized in shifters.Cassar neared an old house in the pack village, not far from the pack house. It was well taken care of with white siding and blue shutters.The front door swung open, the wolves inside waiting for our arrival.A male with grey curly hair rushed forward.Cassar knelt down so the doctor could carefully pull me off of his back.His hands were solid, yet gentle. He smelt like disinfectant and evergreen. Signs of a true wolf doctor.The doctor held me up as we walked towards the pack
Days had passed and Cassar had refused to let me out of his sight. Apparently I was hazardous to and by myself. Jokes on him, I was hazardous either way.But that just meant days of staying in bed with an overprotective alpha threatening anyone who dared get close. He was more beast then man at this point.Apparently it was normal for wolves in these types of circumstances. Their instincts went way out of wack for the need to protect.I just found it annoying.The only creatures brave enough to face him was Harlen and the doctor. Aiden tried but Cassar almost bit his head off when I said I would love for Aiden to warm my bed with me.Cassar said I wasn’t as funny as I thought.It didn’t matter too much though considering the amount of drugs the doctor had me on. I could only stay awake for an hour at a time and even that was a sketchy hour.The doctor had done some serious damage, or he had fixed some serious damage according to Cassar.Either way I was out of it.Slowly I raised my a
It took three days for Baras to disappear. I had left the pack house to annoy him to death when I found an empty cave.The man-eating bear had run in the middle of the night to get away from me and the three days of hell according to him.I couldn’t help the smile on my face as I ran back to the pack house.For the next couple of weeks, I forced myself to go slow. I needed full health for my next plan.It wasn’t even noon yet when Cassar came strolling through the apartments front door. Perfectly tousled hair, dark scruff against his jaw, and a smirk on his lips.It was actually an awkward moment since I was right in the middle of going through all the classified documents he kept in a locked drawer beside his desk.He raised a brow and smirked, catching me red handed.I smiled innocently as I causally stood up, folding pages and putting them back inside.“I just thought I would be helpful by reorganizing.” I batted my eyelashes.Cassar wasn’t having it as he closed the door behind hi

“So.” I smirked, looking at them expectantly. “You gonna kick me out now?”The six wolves just started laughing. And wouldn’t shut up.I looked at them expectantly. “Any day now.”“Of course not.” Vita smiled softly at me. “The longer you are here, the more you prove how much you deserve to be our Luna.”The others nodded their heads, agreeing with her.My jaw dropped.“What is wrong with you wolves?” I cried. “I mean I get Cassar still being obsessed with me. He’s a freak.”Cassar shrugged his shoulders.“But you guys? You’re supposed to be the smart ones.”The wolves just smiled softly at me.“To be honest, I didn’t want you to be our Luna.” Rose spoke up. The words surprising coming from such a sweet female. “I grew up hearing horror stories about foxes. Everyone has heard the stories of the Queen of Tricks who is driven by selfish greed.”She stared at me intensely. Her words were soft. She apologizing to me.“But then you risked your life to save those pups. You stood up to the F
The wolves jaws loosened too. No one was expecting me to offer them that kind of information.“Why would you want to help him?” Harlen scoffed icily. “He’s bottom of the barrel.”I held up a figure, stopping her. “No, that’s Cassar.”“Why?” Cassar asked. His face was serious as he considered my offer.I shrugged a shoulder. “I have my reasons.”“Not unless I know.”I clicked my tongue. “I guess you’re never going to know my secrets then.”I needed to let Baras free, but I knew it would take a lot for Cassar to agree. So I was willing to give him the second thing he wanted most. My story.Sometimes, sacrificing a little bit of yourself for someone else was necessary.But only once in a while.“Answer one question.” Cassar crossed his arms.I raised a brow, urging him on.“Is he a danger?” He asked. His question was heavy but a good one.I thought about it. “Probably.”“Then I cannot let him go.” Cassar said.“Cass, we’re shifters. We’re all dangerous.” I replied. “But if you meant to a
