Ethan stood at the edge of the Moonlit Meadow. This was where he had started his trip, and it was also where it might end. The full moon hung heavy in the night sky, giving the clearing a light that seemed to come from another world. It was a good setting for the emotional fight going on inside of him.Gabriel Rivers stood in front of him. He had broken his heart once. Once cold and uncaring, his eyes now begged for help. "Ethan, please," Gabriel begged in a shaking voice. "I know I made a mistake. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I love you, though. You are my destiny, and I can't stand to be apart from you."Gabriel's words hurt Ethan's heart because he knew they were true, but he couldn't ignore the complicated web of feelings that had formed around him. He looked at Amelia, who was a few steps away and had a mix of worry and desire on her face."Amelia," he said in a whisper, "there's something you need to know." He then told her the shocking truth about her past and the lies she had been
Ethan's heart was beating fast as he stood at the edge of the Moonlit Meadow. The old stones under his feet pulsed with the moon's energy. The air was cool and smelled like pine trees. The stars twinkled in the sky. He couldn't get Gabriel's words from the full moon ritual out of his mind. Gabriel said, "I was wrong, Ethan," and his voice was full of sorrow. "You are my real destiny."But before Ethan could answer, a voice broke the silence. It was a voice that made him shiver."That's right, Gabriel?"When Ethan turned around, Amelia was standing there with hurt and angry eyes. She had been hiding in the dark and listening to what was going on.Gabriel sucked hard, and his face turned pale. "Amelia, I can try to explain."Ethan's hands were tightly closed at his sides. He had believed Gabriel would be honest and try to make up for what he had done, but now it seemed like a cruel game.Amelia looked at Ethan, trying to find out what was going on. "Ethan, what about you? "What would y
Ethan's heart was beating fast as he stood at the edge of the Moonlit Meadow, where the full moon was shining white light. Ancient magic was being talked about all through the night, and he could feel the weight of fate in the air."Ethan, are you sure about this?" Olivia asked, with worry in her voice. She stood next to him, and the moon's light shone in her eyes.Ethan nodded and kept his eyes on the road that went deeper into the field. "Liv, I need to know the truth. Regarding Amelia."Olivia held on tight to his arm. "Watch out. We have no idea what we may find."Ethan took a step forward after giving a firm nod, and Olivia followed. As they moved further into the mysterious field, the tall grass rustled under their feet. The soft hum of the night creatures made a spooky melody all around them.Ethan's heart skipped a beat when they got to the middle of the field. There, under the light of the moon, stood Amelia. Her long, dark hair fell down her back, and her eyes had a glow tha
As Ethan stood in the dark lane, his heart was racing and his senses were on high alert. Olivia, his best friend and ally, had sent him an important message saying she knew where Gabriel was. After their fight at the full moon celebration, it had been weeks, and Ethan was still split between his feelings for Gabriel and his growing feelings for Amelia."Where are you, Olivia?" Ethan spoke quietly into the phone, and his breath could be seen in the cold night air.Olivia's quiet answer was, "I'm almost there, Ethan." "But you have to watch out. Gabriel's pack is always watching me."Ethan's jaw was tight. He knew it was risky to talk to Gabriel, but he could no longer ignore the pain in his heart. He needed to find a way to end things.The sound of something moving in the dark made Ethan nervous. He took a look around as his werewolf senses grew stronger. Someone was getting close.Olivia said, "Ethan, he's coming," very quickly.And then Gabriel Rivers came out of the darkness. Even t
Ethan's heart was beating fast as he stood in front of the two people who had become so important to him. Amelia stood in front of him, and her eyes were full of both determination and fear. Gabriel, who had once turned him down, now had a sad look on his face and his shoulders sagged."Amelia," Ethan said in a calm, unsure voice, "you need to explain this. Who exactly are you?"Amelia took a deep breath and didn't take her eyes off of Ethan. "I didn't want to keep this from you, but before I told you the truth, I wanted to make sure we could trust each other. My real name is Amelia Silverstone, and I'm not like other women.Ethan's face creased, and he looked over at Gabriel, who looked just as confused as he did.Amelia went on, "I'm a Moon Weaver, which means I'm a guardian chosen by the Moon Goddess to make sure that fated mates' lives go the way they should."Gabriel let out a low whistle, and Ethan's eyes opened in shock. "Moon Weavers are very rare," he said. "I've only heard s
The full moon was shining on the Moonlit Meadow, which stretched out in front of Ethan. Since Gabriel turned him down, it had been his safe place and place of comfort. Tonight, as he waited for Amelia to arrive, it meant even more. There was a lot of buzz in the air.Amelia walked into the open, and when she did, her eyes went straight to Ethan's. As she got closer, he couldn't help but admire her ease. Every step she took was planned, like an animal stalking its prey. She stopped just a few feet away, and the tension between them crackled like lightning."Amelia," Ethan said in a whisper, "there's something you need to explain."She raised one eyebrow and smiled in a strange way with her lips. "I was ready for this, Ethan. What are you looking for?"Ethan took a big breath and tried to slow down his heart. "Tell me about your past, and why you're here."Amelia never took her eyes off of him. "Ethan, I've been called many things and lived many lives. I've been around for a long time a
Amelia's secret hung in the air like a storm about to hit. Ethan's heart was pounding in his chest as he looked at her. She had become a surprising center in his life, which had been full of ups and downs."Really, who are you?" Ethan asked, his voice shaking because he was both scared and angry.When Amelia looked at him, her eyes sparkled with a power that made him shiver. "I should have told you sooner, Ethan," she said, with sorrow in her voice. "But I had to keep you safe.""Protector me?" Ethan laughed and clenched his hands at his sides. "Where are you?"A sound from the nearby trees broke up their nervous talk. Gabriel came out, and his face was a mix of regret and purpose. "Ethan," he said, his voice full of feeling, "I need to explain everything."When Ethan got angry, he took a step back. "Tell me? You have already said enough by turning me down."Gabriel's eyes flickered to Amelia, a silent nod to the fact that she had just dropped a surprise. "Ethan, this isn't what it se
Ethan's heart was beating fast as he stood in the dark alley, where he could smell danger. The pack got a message that was hard to understand, and it led them to this abandoned part of the city.Amelia's eyes, which were sharp and aware, looked around them. She whispered, "This doesn't feel right," but the faraway hum of the city made it hard to hear her.Ethan nodded, his senses tingling with excitement. After everything he'd been through, he'd learned to trust his feelings. He told the group, "Stay close," and his hand moved to the handle of the silver-bladed knife at his side.As they moved slowly deeper into the alley, the shadows seemed to get darker and scarier. The message said the pack was in danger, and Ethan couldn't get rid of the thought that they were going into a trap.A low growl was heard in the darkness all of a sudden. The members of the pack tightened up and looked around quickly. When a person came out of the shadows, Ethan's heart dropped. Gabriel, his once-doome
