             Sapphire was in a panic. He wasn’t letting her leave. “Why are you doing this? What are your plans for me? My uncle won’t pay to get me back. He’ll be glad to get rid of me.”

             “That’s fine. I don’t need his money and I don’t want to give you back.” Sapphire couldn’t understand what he meant. Did he mean he was keeping her? For what if not leverage? What other use did he have for her? That’s when her mind went to places, she didn’t want to explore. No, no, she wouldn’t be anyone else’s slave again. She must get out of here.

             The bikes pulled up to their packhouse, and they took the bags and such strapped to them off before someone took them to the storage garage.

             Sapphire stood there, not sure what to do. Magnus would not let her take her bag from him. The two men carried all the bags but her purse into the packhouse. People greeted them as they passed them with smiles. The noise inside was shocking after the near tomb like packhouse Sapphire was used to. Pups ran past with someone chasing after them. She looked like she was trying to put a sweater on a little girl.

             Sapphire was used to people only coming to the packhouse if they needed something, and they did it in a respectful and grave manner. One pup stopped and stuck his tongue out at Magnus, and Magnus didn’t kick him. The pup was told to be more respectful after he stuck his tongue out. He the man laughed. He thought it was funny. Her uncle would have kicked the pup out of the packhouse and told them not to return.

             “Sarah Ann, where are you, hon?” Magnus bellowed from where he stood. Hayden winced as he put the bags down on the floor.

             “I’m sure she’s around somewhere. Couldn’t you just text her?” Sapphire gasped at Hayden’s disrespect of his alpha.

             “Oh, you know she’s close by. I need her here anyway. Now I need you to get everyone together in one hour for a meeting. I don’t want to be repeating myself all night.”

             “Okay, one email blast going out now and then. Anything else?”

             “Just make sure there’s nothing pressing, okay?”

             “Sure.” Hayden turned to Sapphire now. “Hey, everything’s cool. I’ll see you later. Just try to relax. No one’s going to hurt you here.” Sapphire couldn’t believe the weird things these people said. She wasn’t staying and why would she expect to be safe among strangers that kidnapped her? Nothing made sense to her.

             An older woman came in with a beaming smile from what Sapphire could only guess was the kitchen area of the packhouse. She glimpsed a couple of people working behind the woman. “Magnus, dear, you’re late getting home. Did it all go well?”

             “Sarah Ann, it’s been a rough day.”

             “I can see that. I sincerely hope that’s not yours or Hayden’s blood on you. Who’s this? Now you must tell me everything.” Who was this woman demanding things from the Alpha? No one dared do that for her uncle. He’d have had her head for speaking out of turn.

             “Not mine or Hayden’s blood. Sadly, it’s the new alpha of the Vagas Moon Pack. He decided one mate wasn’t enough for him and I took exception to the fact the other female was not willing. Well, there’s more to it, but this is Sapphire Kilburn, and she’s staying with us from now on. I expect her to be respected. She’ll need a place to stay for now, and I believe there’s room in my wing for her.”

             “Your wing.” Sarah Ann looked dubiously at Magnus like he’d misspoken or something. “I wish you’d contacted me before this, and I would have had a room prepared for her. But I figure we can find something. Where are her things?”

             “That’s another thing we’ll need to talk about. She comes with very little and well... I’ll let you see it first. Then we’ll discuss what she needs.”

             Sapphire figured he was speaking about a uniform or something she’d need to wear.

             “Of course, come on, dear. I think I know which room will be good for you.” Magnus pointed to Sapphire’s bag and, before she could pick it up, Sarah Ann scooped it up. She headed for the stairs and waited at the top for Sapphire to follow. “Magnus only allows Hayden to live in his wing. So, I don’t know what is going on between you and the alpha, but he holds you in high regard. Now, as you heard, my name is Sarah Ann and I’m the Den Mother here. Anything that goes on in this house, I’ll know about it. You need anything, just ask me. Here we are. I’ll have someone freshen the sheets and make sure you have everything you need. Let me help you unpack.” Sarah Ann dropped the bag on the bed and opened it. She stopped when she saw its contents.

             “Oh, it’s okay. I only have a little. I can unpack it myself. It’s no trouble.” Sapphire blushed, knowing what her things looked like. She didn’t wear these things often because she worked so much, she practically lived in her waitress uniform.

             “Oh, dear. Is this all you have? No, no, this won’t do. I’ll see what I can find for now and then speak with Magnus about getting something appropriate. You just relax and get comfortable. Get used to your surroundings. I heard Magnus tell Hayden there’s a meeting in an hour, so you’ll have until then to relax. I’ll be back in a few minutes with fresh sheets and such.” Sapphire watched Sarah Ann’s mood change like someone flipped a light switch. She became disturbed or upset and made for the door. “You just stay here sweetly and relax. I promise to be back soon.” They closed behind Sarah Ann, and Sapphire couldn’t figure out what was going on for the life of her. She needed to get out of there.

             She threw her things back into her bag and headed for the door. Only to find it locked.

    Sapphire couldn’t believe they’d locked her in. She was their prisoner, and no one would care or notice. She wanted to cry. From bad to worse, why couldn’t she catch a break? Why did Magnus bring her here in the first place? What did they want from her? She couldn’t tell. Now she finally got around to looking at the surrounding space. She’d expected a small room that she probably would need to share with others and fight for space. But as she explored, there was no sign of anyone else living in this room or have lived ever lived in this room. The closet was empty except for the bag she placed on the dresser. In the bathroom, every bottle and tube she found was brand new. They even wrapped the toothbrush and hairbrush in plastic. The garbage cans were empty too. Sapphire got the impression that not only

    Sapphire jumped when a polite knock sounded at her door. “Come in…?” She didn’t remember anyone ever politely knocking at her door in all her life. It was as foreign as the room. She didn’t know what to do with all the space. She’d just thrown her bags into the bottom of the closet and left them there. In case she needed to run fast. Sarah Ann came in with an arm full of things. “I’m back. I have clean sheets and a change of clothes. I hope I have the sizing correct. They came from the stockpile out by the kitchen door. You know how the young are. Go out for an impromptu run and forget to bring their clothes with them. Anyway, once we have your sizing down, we’ll see what we can order for you.”

    Sapphire followed Sarah Ann, who dropped the tray off in another woman’s arms before showing her down a hall and to a large room. “This is the dining room. We eat most of our meals here and some of our informal meetings are here. Formal meetings and celebrations are in the entertainment room or ballroom. I refuse to call it the ballroom, as we don’t hold any balls. Now there’s Alpha Magnus. I’ll leave you with him and then get a couple of things done quickly before the meeting. You’ll probably see me at the back of the room. Good luck dear.” Sarah Ann walked her to Alpha Magnus’ side and then left her there with a wave. She could feel everyone’s eyes on her and she was sure there were several people whispering about her. Magnus’ attention quickly shifted from what he was do

    Hayden barely caught his new Luna as she collapsed. He held her as he looked to Magnus for direction. Several people cried out as they watched her collapse. “I think this was all a little too sudden for her Alpha.” Magnus came over and took her limp form from Hayden. “It shouldn’t surprise me. The man raised her completely inappropriately. That changes now. I’ll take her back to her room and we can let her rest there. Then we can finish this meeting.” Magnus left the room, carrying his mate to her room. The pack talked behind him, but he didn’t listen to it. He’d deal with it once he had her safely tucked away in her bed. Sarah Ann can monitor her while he finished the meeting. Sarah Ann was ever on top of

    “Hayden, before everyone leaves. Please make arrangements for an enforcer meeting later. I’d like to go to the security protocol with them. Also, write up something reminding everyone how to react when they are in town. I’d like to avoid as much conflict as possible. Also, when do we expect the next group to roll in?” Magnus went into business mode now and began instructing Hayden of their next steps on rolling into town and endearing the locals to them.“Yeah, sure. I will gather you want the groups coming in to get the memo too, so we don’t have any problems with them?” Magnus nodded as they moved from the dining room and upstairs to his apartment.“Yes, please. There are notes on the next steps to our plans on my desk with the reports you left there for me. If you put those into action, I believe that today’s been a rather good day. Now I want to get cleaned up properly. I smell like that cowardly wolf.” Ma

  • Poor Unfortunate Wolf   Waking or Dreaming Nightmares Exist

    Sapphire found herself in the dank basement of the packhouse. Someone locked her in again and they’d taken the lightbulbs to make her suffer. They all knew she hated the dark. She could hear the movement of something or someone moving around. Now she anticipated where the person or creature was. The closer they came, the sooner it would hurt her. Sapphire jumped every time she heard the tiniest scuffle. Desperate not to give herself away, she bit her lip to prevent herself from making a noise. Tears streamed down her cheeks, stopping them was beyond her control. Now she crouched there as still as a deer in headlights. Listening in the dark, trying to track whatever prowled around down there with her. She could feel the cold cracked concrete under her bare feet and work-worn hands. Sapphire could taste her own blood from where one of her teeth bit a little too deeply into her lip. She desperately tried not

    Sarah Ann quietly closed the door to Sapphire’s apartment behind her and she looked sternly at her Alpha. “Sarah, what was that? What happened in there?” Magnus couldn’t reconcile what he saw. “Alpha, you, yourself, said she’d experienced such poor treatment for so long. But I can’t understand what she saw in her dreams until I talk to her. Your pacing out here is scaring her more. So, you need to go do something productive and get your mind off her. All you’re doing is scaring her out of her wits.” “She lied to me about her dreams. Why would she do that? Who does that?” Magnus couldn’t keep the disbelief

Relax, don’t overdo it if you don’t have to.” “Oh, I’m good. Um… What’s going on?” “That’s the point. Everything’s quiet. Tonight, another convoy of pack members will be here and lots of getting reacquainted will happen, and it’ll be good times.” “What am I supposed to do?” “Dear, you just need to be your sweet self and get to know everyone. Let them know you.” Sarah Ann’s heart almost broke at the lost

  • 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

    “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

    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

    “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

    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

    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
