”Come one!” ”Harder, faster, better!” ”You fight like my nana, do it again!” I stood by the sidelines, watching the warriors prepare for battle and listening to my brothers' motivational words. I pinched the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes. I had a migraine growing fast and wanted to go find my mate. Avery had been busy with the preparations for the Luna ceremony. I knew she wasn't too stoked about that which was another reason why I had kept my distance. I didn’t want to look at her forced smiles and fake happiness. I wanted her to be genuinely happy about this. I wanted her to want this and not be forced into it. But at the same time, I knew that she wasn't like the rest of the she-wolves. Avery grew up believing she was human. She had never heard about Alphas or Lunas other than storybooks and movie franchises. This was all overwhelming her. She went from being human to being a hybrid werewolf-witch, fighting a war and killing her birth father within months.

~Malia~ James, Alex, Lydia, and I were sitting in the common area. Nobody else was there and we weren't doing anything particular. In fact, everyone sat in silence. The air around us was heavy, thick, and tense. I wanted to speak up but I knew that James was pissed about the events that occurred out in the woods. Both with the rogues but also my impromptu shifting and almost killing his mate. I waited. I sat there, completely still in my spot. The air grew thicker and I knew it was only a matter of time before I opened my mouth. I wanted him to go first. I didn't want to disrespect him. ”You can speak, you know,” my rampage of thoughts broke as James spoke. I shifted my gaze, looking at everyone else. I let out a heavy sigh and straightened my back. ”I’m sorry, alpha,” I said and cast down my eyes. ”For?” ”For shifting and for almost…” I looked up, meeting his gaze and bit the inside of my cheek. ”Hurting your mate.” I finished. ”My mate is the Luna of this pack. And fr

She fell to the ground, a cloud of dust rising around us as she did. Her eyes were closing but before they did, five wolves were raised into the air and their necks were snapped. Two others flew onto the trees before falling down unconscious.Another four were backing away, whining with their heads down. The noises got lesser and lesser and Stella fought to keep her eyes open. The wolves that were backing away were whining loudly as every bone in their body broke. They were shifting back, slowly, painfully. They were being tortured.Several others had escaped but those that were left were in agony. They shifted back, screaming in their human forms as they turned and twisted on the ground. Blink…Their bones were still breaking, they weren't done shifting. Blink…A figure stepped out into the middle of where the fight had taken place. The head was covered by a cloak with a trunk dragging on the ground. Blink…The screaming stopped and on the ground laid their bodies, their eyes

~Malia~ I and Avery were in the car. The plan was to track down Amber and make sure she was okay. After a long fight between James and Avery he finally surrendered, on one condition, that three of the packs warriors came with us, which was why we were being followed by a black SUV. ”Can you hear her?” Avery asked me as we drove down a lonesome road. She was squinting as the rain poured down and it was near imposible to see the road. Lucky for us, not many people were out driving right now. ”No,” my voice was shaking. Never in my life had I been so worried. It was a dreadful feeling to have. Avery groaned and kept driving. I gripped the handle on the door and looked between the trusty driver and the road. She was going very fast for how the weather was right now. We could barley see the road but I didn’t want her to slow down either. So instead, I swallowed my fear and pictured Amber too give me courage. ”AHH!” Averys hands flew to her head and her eyes were slammed shut. I qu

~Avery~I went on to tell James everything that Selene had told me and by the end of it, he didn't say a word. His jaw was clenched tightly and his fingers tightened on my waist.”Please say something,” I asked quietly as I placed a hand on his cheek. He leaned into my touch and I breathed out in relief.”Was that what happened earlier, was that Xena and you syncing?” I nodded my head. ”Somewhat, it wasn't all of it,” I thought about it for a moment before continuing.”In fact, I don’t think that was even a smidge of what awaits,” I didn't know whether to cry or laugh. I nearly hurt a lot of people tonight and thinking that this could happen again brought back some dark memories.I had already hurt Malia.My mind drifted. Back to the beginning. Back to when I met James and then Natasha. When Crow entered my mind and all hell broke loose. I had almost hurt James, I tried to hurt him. ”Hey,” he said softly.”Don’t do that, this isn't like the last time. Last time, your mind was bein

~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
