             The old healer puttered through her sick room and looked at Cliff’s throat. “Okay, try to speak. You look healed enough to start.”

             Cliff’s voice sounded as dry as sandpaper over a rough log. “Testing” Grated out from his mouth.

             “Excellent. I do not know why the Alpha thinks he can just drop both of you on me and expect me to look after two grown men who can look after themselves while they recover. But you might as well tell me what got you both here.”

             “Some new wolf alpha attacked me when I had a little fun with Sapphire. Ivory told me no one cared what happened to her.”

    April felt torn between telling Hayden about the treaties and finding out what the wards were keeping them from. “This is so wrong. I’m not sure if there’s something wrong outside now. We’ll need to figure out why the wards need you to stay in here. But on a good note, I think I know what it’s about. If we fix that, it’ll let us out of here and then you just need to stay inside the library until whatever is outside is gone.” April looked sheepishly over her lunch at Hayden. “Again, I can’t say I’m sorry enough about this. The wards and such in the town are all connected to it’s… Well, for the lack of a better term life force. Because supernatural creatures settled it, it’s taken on a life of its own.

  • Poor Unfortunate Wolf   What Happened to Mommy and Daddy

    Ivory watched her mother sail into the sitting room, where Ivory took refuge in from her father and Lizzie’s snide comments about things someone just had to do. Her inference was that it was Ivory that must do them, but they were too far beneath her. So here was her mother in all her glory, looking down her nose at Ivory like she smelt something bad. Ivory was her only pup, and she’d always been her favourite person. Even her father played second to Ivory, which was greatly to his disliking. Ivory leant a long time ago that her parents had several long running issues that weren’t her problem. But when she needed to, she could use them to get her way by using those issues to distract her parents from what she was doing. “What are y

    When the doorknob finally returned to the door and the feeling of being down the rabbit hole was over. “Are we sure we’re free, or are the wards teasing us with our freedom?” “Very funny. It’s not that how they work. Come on, before it finds something else to do for it.” Both sighed with relief when the door closed behind them, and they could see the way out of the basement. “Listen, I know it wasn’t your fault, and I’d like to thank you all your time today working on this.” Hayden gestured to the notes and his phone. “I need to get back to my territory with this.” “Yeah, well, it’s a little e

    April walked to the front of the library and, sure enough. Xavier stood there in all his brooding authority, intimidating anyone that would come near him. April learned a long time ago Xavier was no one to her, no matter how pretty he was. The man’s soul was black as pitch. Yet another enforcer, or bully, as she called them. This one got the nickname of Trouble because he liked to cause so much of it. “What do you want, Xavier? I’m working.” If she didn’t get him to tell her upfront, she could end up wasting hours on him for nothing. “Just came to ask you if you’ve seen any new wolves in the area and warn you against sheltering someone that’s interfering in town business. It’s not wanted.”

    Frank Kilburn, Alpha of the Vagas Moon Pack, fumed because for hours now his wolves tried to find some proof that he could use to push the Twilight Wolf Pack and their annoying leader out of a region before they discovered what he was doing. He needed the white wolf back, too. What he kept finding was incompetence from his people and the people within the town. He’d sent his people into town to find some reason to make a claim against them for breaking the peace or breaking some law, even a small one. The police came up as useless. They wouldn’t bring Sapphire back and didn’t have the decency to even ask her if she was there willingly or against her will. Now Frank needed to find a time when he could snatch her back. While he was broodi

    Sapphire listened to Hayden speak from Magnus’ phone. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. This was completely unknown to her. She remembered no one telling her about this. They weren’t just messing with the pack, but the town to feel the ramifications of his orders. She knew her uncle and grandfather had both pushed packs out of the region over the years. But she thought it wasn’t fair, but something that happened. So packs could grow and such. Now it was clearly something that was very wrong. Magnus and Hayden seemed so angry about it. The discovery outraged them, but she couldn’t get over her, not knowing of her involvement in this. She’d predicted nothing about the goddess or from the goddess. Sapphire wasn’t even sure about how she was supposed to achieve that. &

    Cliff left the healer’s cabin and the smelly sickroom. His throat was still bandaged, but he could mostly speak now. As he trudged to the packhouse in search of Ivory and his chance at taking this pack from Kilburn. Cliff didn’t know who he hated more right now. Kilburn for threatening to take any chance of him becoming Alpha here or McDonnell for putting him through the ringer for the honour of some pathetic, weak omega. She wasn’t even pretty or smart. The twit had nothing much going for her. They forced Cliff to search out Ivory and he found her cursing the washing machine for some such misdemeanour against a load of laundry. She was all but crying at it in her frustration and anger. “What do you want? Can’t you see I’m busy?” “Yes, how is dying everything pink going for you?” Cliff stifled a laugh when he spotted a load of clothing in a basket with a distinct hue of pink instead of white. “Shut up.

  • Poor Unfortunate Wolf   Meeting Setup & Lenny’s Plea

    Sapphire heard Magnus’ steps on the stairs leading from the second floor. So she left her cold coffee on the table and walked out into the lobby to ask him more about what was happening with the meeting. What she didn’t expect was to look up the stairs and not recognize the man walking toward her. His eyes were pinned on her and she could see the amusement in them. She thought he’d go upstairs to take off his dusty clothes from riding his bike most of the morning. Now she felt dirty, but there wasn’t time to change. However, Sapphire didn’t think anyone would look at her if he was in the room with her. His hair was slicked back from his shower, and he wore a three-piece grey suit with a blue-grey coloured tie. He’d exchanged his boots for a pair of leather shoes. She didn’t see a single wrinkle anywhere on him. He was so impeccably dressed. Magnus fiddled with what she was sure was a gold cuff link that matched the gold watch on his wrist. Magnus claimed he was out

  • 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

    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
