“Good morning grams”. I greeted her groggily as I sat up on the wooden bench.

“Good morning my dear”. She replied with her back facing me as she filled two cups with hot water.

“It feels so bizarre waking up to see you”.

“I feel the same”. She said, turning around to hand me one of the cups. “I’ve put more herbs in it again. It’ll help your wound, everything in there is very good for you”.

“Thank you”. I replied with a tired smile as I took the cup. “What is this place anyway, grams? Last night, I saw other people here. Who were they?”

“I’ll tell you everything soon enough. But first I want you to tell me what you know about these rogues that attacked Whitlock”.

“I don’t really know much actually”. I told her with a sigh. “It’s the second attack we’ve had in the space of a few weeks. When the first attack happened, there weren’t many of them. The second time, there were more, but Leo said they were quite weak, easy to take down. He seems to think the pack is being tested”.

    My last four days at the camp have been…. Different. Good but different. Everyone here have been very welcoming especially when they learned I was Gram’s granddaughter, although they’d recognised it almost immediately with our same raven black hair and blue eyes. I spent most days just slotting myself in with whatever task certain groups were doing, whether that was gathering food or water. Keeping the camp up together, and last night I even had my very first guarding duty. I had begged Grams to let me do it, and she finally agreed, only if I had someone right next to me the whole time. It was actually fun being partnered with Izzy. She was twenty two, so close to me in age, long blonde hair and green eyes, she was pretty, tough and just such a breath of fresh air compared to the girls I had been used to. The more we got to know each other through the night, the more honest we became about our pasts and when I told her about the Whitlock pack, my family, Leo and why I ran away, she c

    “ENOUGH! IT’S NOT WORKING”. I shouted in frustration to grams and Dante. We’d been doing this for a week now and so far there had been no sign of my wolf. “You just want to give up, do you? Like you gave up on your pack when you ran away!”. She goaded just as she had been for the past three days. “I didn’t give up! I wanted to go back!”. I replied defensively. “Oh, of course you did. If you say so, Raven, then I guess it must be true”. “Stop it grams!”. I said looking at her with warning. “Why, Raven? Can you honestly say you put up much of a fight or protest to go back?”. “I was scared grams!”. “Yes, scared of everything! Scared of being everything you’re meant to be! Or do you enjoy being on the end of everyone’s insults?” “That’s enough now, you’re going too far!”. “Me? You’re the one who told me you felt as though you let your family down! Is that it, Raven? You’re so comfortable with that idea, you have no interest on being true to yourself?” “I’ve always been true

    “Grams!”. I nervously called out as I approached her. She turned to greet me whilst she cleared away loose mud and grit on her cabin steps. “Hello sweetheart. Did you manage to collect enough for dinner?” “I did. I’ve already put it away with the rest of the food”. I informed her. “Great, it’s nice to see you’re more comfortable with the camp and mucking in with the rest of us”. “Just want to do my bit. But I need to talk with you”. “Ok, what’s on your mind?” She asked curiously as she walked over. “Well, I know you’re not going to like it, but it’s something I have to do”. “And what is that?” She asked dubiously. “I want to go back to Whitlock, but not actually into Whitlock, I just need to get close enough to the border….” “What for?” “Grams, I need to know if everyone is ok. The way I left thing… I… I feel so guilty. I just have to know what they did to my father”. “But Raven, it’s so risky. Not only could you get caught, but you said yourself there have been rogues

    When we had returned to camp, I could see that grams was itching to ask me questions, but I took my serving of food and ate alone in my cabin, before going to sleep. Every night I had thought of them, but last night, I could see how sad and tired my father had looked. He was always so strong, capable and I always felt safe when he was home, but yesterday he looked as though he had no fight left in him. I kept telling myself not to get too hopeful that it was my mother Izzy had seen, but ohh… how I kept wishing and hoping it was! At least then father wasn’t handling everything alone, although him even leaving the house suggested mother was alive and well. I knew for sure, he’d keep himself locked up and isolated in the house, if she had died in the fire. The only person neither of us had seen, was my uncle. I ached with how much I just wanted to be back in the house with them, even if it was on a bad day dealing with one of uncle’s episodes, I didn’t care, I’d take it, as long as I wa

    “I know I need to let you do whatever it is you need to do”. Gram’s sad dolefully as she put her soft hand on my cheek. “I guess I was just so happy to be in your life again, that I became afraid that I lose you”. “I know. I don’t want to lose you either”. I sighed as I realised why she had been so protective. “But the more you try to keep me locked away here, the more it’s just going to push me away”. “Yes, I can see that now. Just be safe my darling, and whatever happens, we’ll deal with it together, that is a promise”. “Really, you mean it?” “Of course, I do. You were right, we should always want to do want to do what’s right for the ones we love so, from now on, I won’t hold you back”. “Thanks grams”. I replied as I leaned in to hug her. “Now then…”. She continued as she sniffed back a tear of worry and unwrapped her arms from around me. “I’ve asked Zach to go with you, Dante and Izzy today, just for precaution. The more of our trained members you have with you, the more

    My mind was on overdrive as I roughly bonded two long planks of wood together for the new cabin. I was tired, furious and I kept picturing Violet on the night of the fire. That girl has got some damn good acting skills, I really believed her that night, she just looked so genuinely scared for me, and I felt like the biggest fool to have ever listened to her and trusted she wanted to help me. Everything about that night just wouldn’t stop flashing though my mind no matter what I did to try and distract myself. The mood I was in was certainly clear, it must be so evident on my face, as everyone kept their distance and gave me some space. Even when we walked back to camp yesterday, Neither Izzy, Dante or Zach said anything as I stomped along in silence. The urge to tear her apart was bubbling inside of me, and I’d even fantasize about doing it. What she had said was true though, and that’s what worried me even more. My father had been at Caleb’s side for so many years now, his best guard

    For two nights we had been doing this, two long exhausting nights, and my enthusiasm for doing this was beginning to fade. Grams kept reminding me to be patient, but that was easy for her to say, she wasn’t the one who’s mind was beginning to feel warped, and her body wasn’t flashing hot and cold. I’d have moments of feeling like I was physically in front of Violet, I could feel the rage, and my body would burn, always leaving me with a thumping migraine. The visions were so clear, I could see the colour of her eyes, smell the earth around me, and feel her neck squeezing in my hands, the way her heart would quicken as she tried to gasp for air. But as soon as I’d come out of those visions, I’d feel as if I was about to keel over from exhaustion. Both nights she had me focusing on Violet and the night of the fire, all the bullying and snide comments she had made throughout the years, and her success in managing to turn the entire pack against me, including Caleb, who no doubt wished he

    “That felt easier!”. I said to Dante as I quickly covered myself with a blanket. “You can turn around now”. I told him as he had his back to me, so that he wouldn’t see me naked. “You’re shifting a lot quicker now”. He acknowledged, turning round to face me. “How is your body feeling?” “Umm… I definitely don’t feel as tired, and my legs feel fine”. “That’s great, Raven. Considering how many times you’ve had to shift, you don’t seem fed up yet”. “I’ll take this over the training grams was giving me”. I chuckled as Dante handed me some food he had bought with him. “It might have been exhausting but it’s gotten you to this far”. He pointed out as we both sat next to each other on the grass. “True! Honestly Dante, I really thought it was all a waste of time. I still can’t believe it worked, and I have a wolf now!.... I.have.a.wolf!”. I smiled widely. “And a strong one at that!. Seriously, Raven, your wolf is remarkable”. “Thank you!”. I chirped. “The emotions and the strength I

    “I have something for you all”. I grinned mysteriously at the women. We had just finished another training session, which I had kept up with for the last six weeks of becoming Luna to reassure them that my dedication to them wouldn’t change.“You have something… what?” Abigail asked curiously as they all grouped together in front of me.I walked over to my bag that I always stuffed a towel and change of shirt into, but today I had something else… something I knew they had been wanting since we first started our sessions.I took out the document and held it out for them to see. Their eyes all wandered along it, but I could see the puzzlement in their faces.“What is it?” Clarissa questioned as they all looked at me.“Its what you all wanted”. I smiled. “As Luna, I gave the proposal to your new alpha, and…. “ I paused to build up their anticipation. “And your alpha, was more than happy to sign it off. So, from now on, any female of Whitlock that does the appropriate training can become

    “Wow look at our little girl”. Mother cooed as she and my father beamed at me in my wedding dress. “Soon to be a Luna”. She sniffled as father subtly wiped a tear that was about to escape his eye.“She’s not so little now, is she?” Father commented as he let out a heavy bittersweet exhale. “Our little girl… going to be the Luna”. He said as he shook his head trying to accept how much had changed. “You have come so far, my girl, all on your own strength”. “She really has, hasn’t she”. Mother agreed with a watery smile as I grinned bashfully at them, swaying my dress side to side, listening to the sound of the material swooshing.On the surface I looked confident and excited, but in reality my hands were sweating and so were my legs. I couldn’t wait to marry Leo, but every member of our pack were going to be at the ceremony today and to celebrate with us afterward. Having all of that kind of attention and eyes on me was something I still wasn’t used to, and in a way, I kind of missed t

    I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel secured around my chest as I dried my hair with another. I inwardly smiled as through the balcony glass doors, I could see the sun was beginning to set, so I walked out to the edge and rested my arms on the balcony wall looking out at Whitlock. Apart from a few children running and laughing on their way home from the lake, it all felt so warm, peaceful and safe. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, savouring the cool spring air and my heart thumped cheerfully at how happy I was to finally be back home.I had arrived back late last night, and the first thing I did as rush to Leo’s room and woke him up with a kiss on his cheek, and the moment he opened his eyes, he wrapped his arms around me, pulled me onto the bed and frantically tore each other’s clothes off from the yearning arousal we had the moment we were back in each other’s arms. The next morning, I surprised my parents for breakfast and told them all about how Clemonte was comin

    Nine weeks had come and gone… Nine weeks I had once again been away from home, and I was missing it more and more each day. Me and Leo had been able to speak twice a week on the phone, and I knew by his voice he was feeling the same as I was about us being apart for so long. But with his own duties, his training and taking over my classes with the she-wolves, there was just no time for him to visit.I had many conversations with Caleb and Wayne, and it was decided that Jonah would come to Clemonte with Wayne’s sister, Diana and her mate Corbin in just another weeks time. According to Wayne, most of Corbin’s family had since moved on to other packs and they had already been contemplating a new chapter in their lives, so it didn’t take as much persuasion as Wayne had thought. Jonah would help them for six months to settle in and learn their new roles as alpha and Luna to Clemonte, and with a son and daughter of their own, if they chose to mate with one of Clemonte’s members, that would

    For the following week, me and my night wolves had taken over the rule of Clemonte. When Robert had killed James and we locked up his people, I spoke to both Caleb and Wayne about what had happened, and I was surprised by how relieved they sounded of his demise. But with no heirs, they had both asked that we begin to lead Clemonte back into shape until they could find someone to be its next ruler.We had no intentions of being cruel to them, neglect them or bully them whilst we were here, but from the way James and his pack house lived, there were clearly no strict rules, authority or structure. James always lived behind his wall that surrounded the pack house with his guards, their wives and whatever women they had become fond of and made the cut to living within his home.It baffled us at how little the rest of his people ever saw him or had protection from him or his guards. Every day, we let his people come out three times a day for fresh air, food and water, but we always kept th

    We stormed all the way through the forest, until our tongues were hanging out of our mouths, and we were panting for breath. Luckily for our breed, the desire to protect and hunt down anyone targeting our own was stronger than the ache in our legs and the hunger in our stomach’s.As soon as we had Clemonte in sight, it gave us even more of a push to run faster. We sped along, growling deep in our chests as we stormed through his broken fence and across the field. Foolish James thought his mere wall would stop any intrusions but together as a pack we all rushed to it as a unit and smashed our bodies into it, smashing it to the floor, causing everyone outside of the pack house to scream and shout in alarm. We quickly rolled back onto our feet and began chasing all the men and women as they tried to flee or shift into their wolves. We’d grab them in our mouths, piercing their skin with our teeth, enough to cause them pain and submission but not to kill, and knocking them off their feet a

    One month later:“Another successful session everyone!” I chimed to all the women as they wiped the sweat from their foreheads and walked toward me, panting with breaths.“Are we always going to be able to train? Because I don’t think I can go back to how things were before”. Clarissa asked as the other women nodded in agreement.“Of course. We’ll continue our sessions for as long as you all want to”. I responded, noticing the hopefulness in their eyes.“Oh, good, cause I haven’t had this much fun in a long time, and now I feel like I’m… I’m”. “Powerful?” Laura finished her sentence as Clarissa tried to find the right word.“Yes! Yes, that’s it”. She exclaimed. “I feel like I don’t have to be so scared now if any threat comes to our border again”. “Yea, me too”. All the other women agreed in unison“That’s amazing! That’s exactly why we’re doing these classes, it’s what I want you all to feel”. I smiled, seeing the passion in their eagerness to train.“But is there more?” Jodie quiz

    You really think they could handle training alongside men?” Caleb asked with a doubtful frown as I filled out the progress of each she-wolf on their training forms.“Yes, I do”. I answered adamantly as I glanced up from the paperwork, but his frown didn’t shift.“But they’ve only been training for three weeks”. “Yes, but you should see them! They’re so determined to improve. They bring their A – game to every session. They’re honestly so skilled already”. “I don’t know”. Caleb sighed as he signed off the schedule sheets for the patrol shifts.I slumped my shoulders in annoyance that he wouldn’t even attend one session to see just how incredible the women of our pack were. For once they were given the opportunity to show their capability, and I was the first to say how impressed I was. “Could you at least consider it? Just think of all the new opportunities it would open up for them. They could help patrol the borders or become palace guards! They’d be so good at it, and I can see ho

    I dragged him through the dirt, along the sharp stones, branches and thorns as he winged as my teeth still dug into his flesh and begged for me to let him go, but I knew a man like James and his pack needed a strong enough warning so that me and the other night wolves could be free to roam.The rest of the men all whimpered and didn’t try to retaliate as we led them all back to their land. We finally reached the border at first light as the ground beneath us now lay frosty and the grass was damp but the forest around us smelt fresh and earthly rich.We stopped at their dilapidated fence, and I glanced back at the night wolves to make some noise and they all howled together to alert Clemonte of our arrival. Moments later, James and a gathering of his men came out from his pack house walls and stopped at the top of the field, looking at us with apprehension. I dropped the man from my mouth and growled and he didn’t hesitate to try and scramble to his feet as he clutched his shoulder. He
