Poor Unfortunate Wolf Family Comes In Many Flavours
Magnus pulled Sapphire aside and frowned down at her. He hated what he was about to say because he knew she’d not like it. “Listen to me and don’t argue with me. Ivory can’t be trusted. You’re leaving the started there being a chance at war. Her leaving that pack will start the war. You can’t do anything going forward until that connection is still there. Do you understand? She could say these things to get close to you to prevent you from leaving.” “I get it. But someone would have to be telling her what to say or do. Yes, she can be manipulative. I have lots of experience with that. But her lies can be picked apart easily if anyone with a level head thinks about it. What do you have in mind for her then? Locking her up somewhere? Putting a guard on her at all times? I can’t see her accepting any of that.” “Then would she like a one-way ticket to the closest city? Let her deal with the pack there?” “Oh, you wouldn’t dare force her one another pack.
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Confrontation Plans
“What do you mean you’re locking me in here for the night? What will I do? How come Sapphire gets to run around free?” Ivory was pouting and sulking when she was given the news that after dinner, she would be locked in the room they’d given her. “I’m not some unruly teen, who’s misbehaved.” “We have things to do and currently there’s no one here qualified to mind you. They will be here in the morning when you wake up. Until then. Goodnight, Ivory.” Magnus shut the door and locked it. He turned to a guard. “She’s not to know you’re here. Only let her out if the packhouse is on fire. If she throws a fit, leave her be. She’s not your concern. You’re here only to keep her from leaving the room.” “Yes, Sir.” The wolf stood at the door and pocketed the key. He was one of Magnus’ loyal enforcers, and Magnus knew he could trust him. While this was happening, April was examining. Sapphire for any magical spells cast on her. She claimed it would take quite a
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Surprises Uncovered
Sapphire tried to sit still for April as she examined her. She didn’t remember much of what her aunt did around her. Sapphire remembered being sick several times after her aunt forced her to drink some gross potion or elixir. It’s part of the reason Ivory hated her. When Sapphire got there, her aunt experimented on them both and wasn’t very nice about it. Or the lack of results she got. Neither girl ever knew why they were treated. They made Sapphire believe it gave her something that she didn’t deserve. They made Ivory feel like a failure for not developing whatever it was. So Ivory was always trying to please her mother and getting whatever she wanted, hoping she’d be bribed into doing what her mother wanted her to do. Or develop whatever it was. April quickly found out that yes, she had a spell on her. Now Sapphire struggled to keep her patience because it was hours since then and April was still trying to figure out what the spell was supposed to do. Thi
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Ivory’s First Away From Home
What was she thinking? As Ivory heard the lock engage on the door, she couldn’t believe this was it. A snap decision got her into this. What was she thinking by following that fool cousin of hers? Should she try to escape? Try to get home? Home to what? What would she be going home to? Work? Drudgery? Hate? No, she couldn’t go home, that she knew. It seemed like hours went by and she resigned herself to a quiet night with herself. Gods, she hated being alone. She’d been alone all too much since Sapphire left. She hated being alone because she was alone with her thoughts and her reality. Ivory needed to do something. Anything. They took her phone earlier and now she paced the room. She’d lost count of how many times she’d crossed the room. If nothing else, she gets her steps in for the day. There was no television in the room or a phone. Not even a radio. This was worse that home. She at least had her phone, but who would she call? No one would talk
Poor Unfortunate Wolf April Reports to Magnus
“What have you found out from you investigation?” Magnus looked at April with concern. Hayden stood at the back of the room while Magnus sat on the corner of his desk as he watched her closely. “Good news. The spells that are attached to Sapphire aren’t spells put there by her aunt. They aren’t negative spells at all. In fact, they are more likely protecting her from her aunt’s magic, by preventing her from accessing her ability to commune with the moon goddess. Her aunt may have been sloppy and not bothered to look for it. Though, I must admit I almost miss it. It took longer than I expected to find the signature on the spell. That wasn’t easy, but I know Betty’s magical signature, as I’ve undone a few of her spells before. This isn’t her signature, and I can only assume it’s her mother’s. Which I find odd.” April was really trying to be thorough in her details, and Magnus could appreciate that. “Odd why?” Magnus listened intently, his hands resting on his
Poor Unfortunate Wolf The Time Approaches
Magnus couldn’t sleep. His mind kept playing over the plan, looking for any weaknesses. He knew he wasn’t underestimating Kilburn. Sapphire’s uncle was not in the here and now.Everything reported to Magnus pointed to some kind of poisoning. His mate must do something witchy to him.Witches weren’t normally the bad guy in Magnus’ mind, but every report he got about Kilburn’s mate pointed to a nasty creature with the knowledge of herbs and magic at her disposal. She didn’t have a problem using either to get what she wanted. For that reason, she wasn’t well liked by her own community. He figured that was another reason she was trying to get her hands on Sapphire’s abilities.Magnus wanted this over. He wanted his mate beside him, in every way. Sapphire deserved better than this half existence. She should need to feel like she must hide her wolf, and she should have access to the Moon Goddess. He didn’t care if she shared her experience. Magnus wanted his mate whole and happy.H
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Ivory’s Second Encounter with Ran
Ivory dragged herself from bed, with this Ran character standing nearby watching her. Someone left her a change of clothes and a few personal items. Why didn’t she pack something when she left the packhouse yesterday? Gods, this felt strange. Ran unnerved her with his eyes and silence. He wouldn’t answer any of her questions. Ran had the nerve to demand that she not pout. This was hard on her and that’s how she coped. Ivory pouted when she didn’t get her way. She complained, she wheedled, she expressed her anger. All to get her way. She came from the bathroom half expecting Ran to be gone, but he still stood there. “I can look after myself. You can go.” “Eat your breakfast. We have thirty minutes before we leave to get into place for the meeting.” “Fine, but it’s not very exciting watching me eat. Why are they making me go exactly? Is it just to prove to my father he has me?” “No, you’ll reject your pack at one point. Then we can d
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Last Minute Briefing
Sapphire stood with Ivory on the second floor of a shop on the edge of the outdoor market. A cousin of Magnus was with them, along with Magnus. The two men were instructing them on what they were expecting from each girl. Sapphire worried about Ivory. She knew she’d say one thing and do another on a whim. She didn’t know which way Ivory would run with any of her stunts, and there was always a stunt somewhere. The problem was, who would then be the receiver of that stunt? Her father? Her mother? Magnus? Herself? Sapphire didn’t know, but she feared the explosion when it happened. “If I even suspect either of you are going to say something off script, I will pull you from that balcony immediately. We are ending this today by removing you from your birth pack. Once you both are gone, it will force your birth pack to renege on their treaty. That will break that treaty and it will force them to leave the region until this is all cleared up.” Ran wasn’t angry as he said t

Poor Unfortunate Wolf Epilogue
Sapphire and Ivory met the rest of their family over time. It took a long time to become comfortable with every one of them. So many differences from how she grew up to her life as she knew it now. She needed to find a new normal as mate, sister, and Luna. But it happened. Ivory and Ran took over the Vagas Moon Pack, and they renamed it, the New Moon Rising. Ran was still not sure he wanted to be their Alpha, but his family and his in-laws made it clear he could and would be the Alpha of this pack. The girls’ father took some time to warm up to Magnus and Ran. He claimed he needed to know his daughters first, to know what was best for them. Until then, he would reserve his opinion on if he approved of their mates. Ivory and Sapphire found their mother was a force all her own to be reckoned with. Margaret insisted there be ceremonies to recognise their mating. She was the mover and shaker when it came to teaching her daughters how to be e
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Introduction to Family
“We’re still trying to unravel the truth here. So when we figure it out, we’ll happily tell you the entire gory and horrific parts. Just understand Ivory and I are learning to get along, but we only found out we were sisters. That we still need to work through.” “Betty made us adversaries. Sapphire was all but a slave. She had me believing I was their daughter and better than everyone. Sapphire was trying to replace me. I know better now and I’m trying to make amends. This is new for us. We just learned they planned to force Sapphire to commune with the Moon Goddess, and I was a sacrifice. We believed I was her daughter then.” Both parents were horrified. “We’d have tried harder if we knew she would try that. Gods, we’re sorry.” Howard came closer to their sister’s back. “It’s complicated.” “Let’s move on to happier things. If we’re talking, we can enter. So, let’s get the introductions done. You know me. I work as a teacher and r
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Found Family and Explanations
Sapphire was too confused and overwhelmed. She let Ivory lead her to the bathroom, where they straightened themselves. Both looked at the results in the mirror. With the same ponytail and makeup. Thank. They looked similar. “I’m not wearing the same outfit, so don’t suggest it. Gods, Ivory, I don’t look like me.” “Yes, you do. If that monster hadn’t this, we’d be sisters, and this Sapphire is what you would be. No wonder I was jealous of you.” Sapphire’s head shot to Ivory’s face for clarification she’d heard correctly. “Jealous? I thought you hated me. I would never have said you were jealous.” “Do you think our mom can reverse the suppression spell on you? Or me? If there is one on me.” Sapphire pretended she didn’t hear it. They had enough to deal. “Why not? We’re part of a magical litter of wolf shifter pups. Does that sound like a fairy tale comedy movie opening line said by a narrator?” Sapphire wondered what would have happened if she’d gone to t
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Where’s the Decoder Ring
“Let’s see if we can figure this out.” April leaned over the page. “Okay, this is an edited version of what we see here. Well, that’s interesting, though it shouldn’t be a surprise.” April pored over the papers, looking closely at the words and symbols. Ivory tried her best, but she wasn’t sure what was important and what wasn’t. So, she tried to get everything she could. “What is it? I don’t get half the marks on the page. I just copied them the best I could.” She felt like a fool. What good was she? “The mark here leading to Betty. That’s new, or old. Different, at the very least. However, you want to describe it. It’s the mark used to denote an adoption. Betty isn’t blood related to your mother. She’s an aunt by adoption, not by blood. Her blood would have been useless, and she wasn’t the girls, so she’d have seen nothing. Now here are the names we’re interested in. Jane and Howard Percival. That next part here says there are three pups all born over two days. L
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Secrets Revealed
April couldn’t believe what she was about to do. Normally, anything to do with blood magic was off limits. Well, usually that’s because the magic would cause get harm to the person or persons involved. In this case, she’d risk the disapproval and any punishment. Which would be laughable when she showed the council of elders what they would have to do to break the curse. From what little she could understand of the magic used in the treaties, and resulting events. No one before her cared about the limits that were placed long ago on how magic could be used. When someone called North America a Wild and Lawless Land. It wasn’t just the humans that were wild and lawless. Those that practiced magic were too. Doing things in the middle of nowhere that they couldn’t anywhere else. Even now, they uncovered places like this occasionally. Places that the locals would call, better left alone and untouched. In this case, if April was correct. The page with their b
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Who are you?
Magnus watched his mate carefully as she and Ivory went through the journals and other documents they recovered. April was still completing what they needed to do for the witches to be released by the nature spirit. Or if anything needed to be done since this Roger Helbourne was gone. As far as anyone could tell, Roger made the deals. Without him, they weren’t sure if the deals survived. That’s why he’d been kept like he was. As long as he was here and functioning, the treaties were active. But they wanted to be sure they were gone for good before inviting the other packs back. Ran was in talks with those of the Vagas Moon Pack who ran and survived. They’d have the grisly job of cleaning up the land and making amends to it. The Vagas Moon would then fall under the McConnell Pack umbrella after that, and the isolation would have to end as well. Magnus’ pack was settled here now and the previous pack happy where they were now, with no interest in returning here. Each
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Ivory’s Inner Turmoil
Ivory couldn’t find out what happened to Cliff or Xavier. Those two and their buddies were missing in action. They’d been at the fight, but they weren’t among the dead there or on the Vagas Moon Pack territory. Ran assumed they went rogue after the battle and were in the wind. Ivory wasn’t so sure. Cliff was a jerk, but he wasn’t a very bright one. It took days to find any trace of them. Sadly, that trace was a campsite out in the middle of nowhere. Sadly, whoever they joined up with at the end was more than evil and stronger than them. They’d survived only to end up being hunted by a human with more money than brains. If they read correctly, the evidence. She was scared now. What if they were wrong and Cliff came back for revenge? Ivory couldn’t tell Ran what she’d done. Snubbing Cliff after her father turned rescinded his favour. Cliff came to her for help, and she deliberately messed up his plans to get back into her father’s favour. It hadn’t
Poor Unfortunate Wolf Conspiracy for Peace
Ran watched the two women leave out of the corner of his eye. “Gods, I thought they’d never leave.” The two men stopped training and mopped themselves of the sweat they’d built up as they spoke. “Here’s hoping they can be sensible and learn to get along with each other.” Magnus said as they tapped water bottles. “Have you told Ivory she’s taking over as your Luna?” “No, not yet. I’m not sure how she will take the news, and I’m still coming to terms with it.” “I get it. Sapphire took some easing into it, too. I couldn’t just hand her the keys after I bit her. Sarah Ann says there are things Sapphire just doesn’t have a clue about, so it will take a while before she’s got things mastered.” “Oh, I suspect she does not understand about what the position truly entails. My problem is not having her bulk in fear. Her training is still months away from completion.” “So, you really are training her to obey you without question?” “I
Poor Unfortunate Wolf An Honest Talk
Sapphire and Ivory sat in her office drinking coffee for a little bit before Ivory gathered up enough courage to speak to Sapphire. “If my mother was the reason we hate each other, does that mean in another life we might have been friends?” Ivory wasn’t sure if she was ready to apologize to Sapphire for the years of emotional and physical torture, she put her through.” “I don’t know. If you weren’t so self absorbed and demanding, maybe. It’s hard to tell, really. Your mother tried with all her might to make you into a shifter version of herself. Now I don’t mean this as a slight against you, but she was pretty successful. She pulled so many tricks with us, I’m not sure either of us knows who we truly are.” “You really think that?” “We’ll see, won’t we, now that we know she’s gone and can no longer influence us directly? I know that her influence made someone lock my abilities away so I couldn’t use them. Whoever did that seemed to know a wa
