~Amber~”Who?” My voice came out hard and confident. My anger was stirring up inside.”You’re uncle. Carlos Knight. He was the one that turned your mate.” A shot of pain. The stab of a knife. My insides were burning and Stella was scratching the surface. Both of us on the hinge of insanity.”He turned my mate? He hated them so much that he turned an innocent girl and forced war upon our kind for decades?” I was standing. My hands were balled up into fists and my voice came out in a threatening growl. But then, as I was about to blow up, William started laughing hysterically. He bent over in laughter and dried his tear-stained eyes with the back of his hand. ”He didn't turn the girl in spite you fool. He saved the girl. He couldn't bring himself to watch a young child die on the field. At that moment, he didn't care about the fight, the vampires, or the consequents of his actions. He couldn’t let her die.” He emphasized every word. ”Beside Malia, after she had fallen, stood her unc

~Avery~James came and sat down next to me. I was too ashamed to look him in the eyes so instead, I looked down at my hands fidgeting nervously together. ”Hey,” he placed his hand on top of mine and used his other to lift and turn my head so that I was forced to watch him.”Why haven't you told me?”I sighed and tried removing my chin from his grip but it only tightened. ”Because I know how important this is for you. For all of you. I didn't mean to sound like an ungrateful bitch but it’s just,” I was trying to find the right words but I didn't think that was possible.”So much else is going on and this ceremony is last on my list of things to care about. We have a war coming, James. How am I supposed to put on a dress and walk up on that podium with you, all the while knowing that our friends, family, and pack is in danger?” His eyes were searching mine, I could tell he understood me. He knew I was right. There were more pressing matters at our hands.”You know, fights, war, and e

~Avery~ ”Sorry, first things first- hey sis, are you on speed?” Amber stopped and glared at Alex who had asked the question. Her eyes were huge and she shook her head. Alex narrowed his eyes on her. ”Answer with words, please,” he said slowly. ”No, I'm not on speed. I just drank a really yummy tea,” she said giddily and rolled her eyes at her brother. But then everyone's focus went back to James. Alex came over and looked at the scratch on his brother's shoulder and then up at his brother. ”It’s not healing,” ”It’s fine,” James tried to sound confident. ”James, you’re an Alpha and that mutt out there was a non-rank, low life, garbage eating rogue wolf. This should've been healed already.” Alex was getting frustrated, his tone was lowering and his shoulders were hunched forward. ”I said-” James took a step closer. -” I’m fine.” James’s jaw clicked and his chest rose and dropped as his breathing got heavier. ”Yeah, you said that.” Alex spat and threw up his hand in a dism

~Avery~ I was walking around the packhouse, looking for Amber when I spotted her outside on the patio, sitting on the sun deck. ”Hey there,” I sat down beside her and watched as she twirled what looked like a knife in her hands. My eyes were stuck on the handle, a beautifully hand-carved piece of what I believed was oak. The circular lines along the shaft looked almost like veins as they parted and came together in different places. ”What’s that?” She handed it to me, her finger gracing the faintest sign of an imprinted heart on the wooden handle. ”It was my dad's, it was his favorite knife, he always had it on him. One day for his birthday I had taken it and burnt in a heart, telling him that how ’now I would be with him everywhere too.” I looked up at Amber as she explained with tears in her eyes. My mouth was slightly open as I took in her fragile state. Amber was the strong one, she never once showed when she was scared and she rarely if ever showed when she was upset

~Avery~When I looked back, I saw everyone sound asleep, what made my heart stop for a second, was that I saw myself asleep too. I was laying next to Alex, his arm wrapped around my shoulders like a shield, my chest rising and falling with every breath.The ball of light floated deeper and deeper into the forest the closer I got and I followed closely behind. When I looked back, I couldn't see the fire pit nor the packhouse, I was far into the forest. I knew this place and I knew how to navigate through it yet a weird feeling surged through my veins as the ball of light stopped. It was floating in front my face as though it tried to communicate, I reached out my hand, and when my fingers met with the light, it grew into the size of a person. I stepped back, trying to reach out to Xena but I couldn’t, she wasn't there.I gasped in shock, a puff of smoke leaving my mouth when I saw the light melting off into pools of silver and the Moon goddess showed herself. ”Hello, Avery,” ”Wow,” m

~Avery~ I laid down, placing my head on his chest, and thought about everything that had happened since I came here Finding out my father wasn't my actual father, that my parents never wanted me. Losing a family but gaining another one. Finding out about the existence of werewolves, witches, and vampires. Going to war with my father who invaded my mind and had me nearly kill my mate. Finding out I'm half-witch and have a special wolf. Being told I had to marry the man I had just met, or we would both die. Through everything, he was there, standing by my side. At times he was a douche but he was placed in an impossible position, and he knew who I was to him. Xena and I hadn’t spoken much, both of us in our own thoughts, grieving separately. The one thing I felt from both of us more than anything else, was anger. The darkness that lurked within, a growing shadow that threatened to take over. With James, it had only ever been love but now, without him, I was afraid of who I was

~Malia~”And what if I don’t help you? Since you didn't ask me to,” Avery lifted her head, clenching her jaw, her lips forming a thin line as though she was keeping herself from saying something she would regret. A smirk came upon Ravens' face as she nodded her head approvingly. We all stood flabbergasted at what had just occurred. Raven had asked Avery a question, received no answer and yet it was as though the silence was an answer in itself. ”Show me the way,” Raven said with a pleased grin.”Wait, that’s it? I wanna hear what would happen if she didn't help,” the guy, Lucas said. The older guy that I knew to be Fredrick smacked him on the back of his head. ”She had one source of leverage to use against me and she didn’t, for that she earns my respect, at least a little bit of it,” she smirked and looked at Avery who still showed nothing, her face was covered with a mask that none of us could lurk behind. We walked to the infirmary where James laid unconscious. ”I think I alr

~Avery~I looked at Alex, his eyes pleading for me to tell him something he wanted to hear, I knew what I had too do and I wasn't going to let anyone else suffer for it. I looked around the field, my family looking back at me. The moon was gleaming but all I could see was darkness and despair. Many times it wasn't what the eye could make out, but what our mind was telling us too envision and for me it wasn't pretty. The clouds were ash-colored as they sat thick up on the dark sky, the moon a ball of mass that didn't glow as it usualy did, and around me the green grass didn't sway in the wind, it looked burnt, dead and hopeless. I looked back at Alex and hoped that one day he would forgive me.”I’m ready,” I said aloud, Alex eyes fell but before he could interject I pushed him back with every ounce of strength I had. His body was tossed back and landed on the ground by Ambers feet. I lifted my hands, Xena howled in my mind, stepping forward and helped me. I drew my hands in circles
