Monday morning, we're not at the training field.
Some of us have been sent to a conference room. I walk in and see River, Blade, Zeke and Stevens up front. There's a long table down the middle of the room with border agents dotting the chairs.
I look around the room and see Michael. Instinctively, I head over and sink into a chair beside him.
"Hey." He says watching me sit.
"Hi. I guess you know what this is about?: I lean on the table.
He nods. His face dark and concerned. "Karver."
"Yep." I nod. "We're gonna put him down this time. No more games."
He cracks a smile. "Damn right." He offers a fist bump and I return it.
Stevens clears his throat. "Okay. Good morning." He looks around the room.
He continues. "You're here because you've been selected as the best agents an

RIVERI slowly walk into the barracks where Anna is.I have no idea what I'm going to do. She was crazed. Attacked Cassidy like it was her mission. Cassidy will heal, but it was brutal. Her face was all puffed, nose broken, blood everywhere. I'm pretty sure, if me and Blade weren't there, Anna would've released her wolf.I can't let this go either. The whole training field had front row seats. This is my job. My duty to make sure the rules are enforced. I don't want to do this. I don't want to punish her for what she did, but I have to.I walk into the bunk house. I have my head hanging and my hands behind my back. My boots making thud noises as I walk in. They almost echo in the quiet of the building. I lift my head and glance at Anna whose sitting on her bunk with her arms on her knees. Her eyes catch mine. She looks scared.I t

ANNA I've been given a few days rest to recover from my punishment. I stand in front of the mirror in the shower room, twisting around to look at the scars on my back. Tears pick my eyes. Although, I can't believe River would actually do this to me, I can't blame him for it. It's his job and I fucked up. I shouldn't have lost it on Cassidy. I should've just walked away. But, wolves like mine never back down. They love a good fight and Cassidy gave her one. I finish getting cleaned up and decide to rest at the field. I'm not cleared for duty but I'm allowed to go outside. Monday I start my kitchen duty along with training. I park myself under a tree and watch the session. I don't see River anywhere. Blade comes up and sits beside me. "Hey, pretty lady." He smiles. I pull up a blade of grass. "Hey." I smile back. He fixes his ponytai

RIVER "FUCK!" I scream out in my room. Throwing whatever was close by. Seeing Anna had my wolf and me losing our shit. I couldn't do it. I couldn't talk to her. My guilt was too strong. My pain was so near the surface, she'd see it in an instance. And I didn't want her too. I wanted to just walk away. Spare her from the feelings of blaming me for hurting her. When she begged to talk me, I stood my ground. I said I wasn't going to let her forgive me and I meant it. I broke my promise to her and to David. I promised to never hurt her. Never allow her to get hurt. To protect her at all costs. But she did get hurt. By my fucking hands. I grabbed a lamp, screamed out a growl and threw it against the wall. It smashed into pieces and they fell to the floor. I guess my dad heard it and rushed in. My room was trash

ANNA "Riker! Hurry up with those dishes!" The angry head of the kitchen slams more dishes on the counter as I wash the ones in the sink. I've been on auto pilot for 3 days. My kitchen duty started on Monday. I'll spend the next month, washing dishes in the mornings and joining training in the afternoons. Though I'm grateful for the distraction, it's really not doing much. My thoughts are constantly about River. How he hates me. How I humiliated him. How I forced him to deal the harsh punishment I received. And I deserved every lash. I knew better. I should have controlled myself. Lesson learned, but it was too late. I lost River. An Alpha like him, can't have this kind of embarrassment. My behavior isn't expectant of a Luna and I'm sure that's what River is thinking. I'm positive that's why he ended it. I'm worthless to him now. I've embarrassed h

RIVERI've been pulling my hair out this week. Lashing out, snapping at everyone. My wolf, and myself, are so angry. All the time. I just want to kill things.I find myself not the same trainer as I was before in training. I'm short with the recruits, resentful, demeaning. Picking on weaker wolves to take my frustrations on. I can't get my head straight."Davis!" I yell. I march over to the tall kid who's been taking a beating all morning during spar practice. "What the fuck? Get your lazy ass up and fucking get to work!" I grab him by the shirt and lift him off the ground."Sir..yes..sir.." He struggles in my grip to stand and clearly scared.I can feel the other recruits eyes on me. I point to Davis. "This isn't a game. Quit fucking around.""Yes, sir." He stands wide eyed at my outburst.Zeke must have seen the di

ANNAIt's been a full two weeks since I've had any contact with River. I don't even look his way anymore.My kitchen duty has been a distraction, like I said, but Michael, he's the best.He's been extremely attentive to my needs. Given me space when I need it. Consoling me when it gets too much. He's not pressuring me either. He's just here. By my side, taking what I throw at him with compassion and understanding.Truthfully, I needed it. Someone to just listen. To understand what I'm feeling. On some level, I feel Michael gets me more then most people. I feel a strong connection between us. Like he could guide me though any storm and protect me better then anyone ever could.I don't want to delve too much into it though. I'm not ready to go all in. But just being with him has made this whole thing so much easier.Tha

ANNAIt shouldn't bother me. It shouldn't irritated me.But here I am. Sitting with Michael on my porch swing. Secretly irritated.I know I'm a hypocrite, but how dare he hook up after telling me he wanted to fix things. With a chick barely 18."What's wrong?" Michael asks as he plays with my hair.I shake my head. "Nothing."He moves his arm from behind me and sits up. "No. Somethings wrong. You were distracted at the bar. Now, you seem off. What's up?"I play with my coffee cup. "I'm just a little irritated today."He sighs. "It's because you saw River with another woman, isn't it?"I furrow my brow. "No."He tilts his head. "Anna, come on. I know you. You hated seeing him with that girl."I roll my eyes. "Fine. Yes. It pissed me off me a little."He furrows his

RIVERI will be honest. I didn't think I'd ever be able to function without Anna by my side, but Emily? Man, that girl is all kinds of sexy. Her scent intoxicates me. She's fun, hilarious, curious, energetic, smart. The feel of her body on mine is just as amazing as Anna's.Everything about Emily intrigues me. I want to do everything with her....and to her, if you know what I mean.She was supposed to be my rebound hook up, but it seems to be turning into something more.At the beach, I didn't plan on bumping into Anna and Michael. I could tell Anna wasn't comfortable with Emily there. I probably didn't help by being all mushy, but I can't help it. Being with Emily brings that out in me. Is it because she's new, different? Is it because I can show her off rather than hide her away? Is it something else? I don't know. I do know that after Anna, there's something

ANNA I swallow nervously as I look out on the crowd of thousands of heads staring at. Alpha Andrews is at the podium. He's talking about the victory and Torrents demise. Words of encouragement and celebration filled the air on the training field of the Falcon Ridge Security Unit. River is sitting beside me, in a chair on a stage. His fingers laced with mine. Like he can sense my nervousness, he looks to me and gives my hand a squeeze. He smiles warmly when my eyes meet his. I smile back. The ceremony was to honor those that made our victory over the Dragons possible. "Anna Riker. Can you stand over here please?" Alpha Andrews waves me over to him. I stand, straightening my uniform. I walk over and stand at attention facing him. He's holding a box. "For your unmeasured bravery, emmense courage and strength you had to kill the Alpha of Dragons, we would like to present to you the Medal of Honor. Wear it with pride." He takes the medal out of the box and pins it t

ANNA "River. Where are you taking me?" I giggle as he covers my eyes and leads me through the hallways of the pack house. "Almost there." I can tell he's smiling. We stop. He uncovers my eyes. I'm standing in front two large wooden doors. I look at River confused. "Open them." He says quietly. I grasp the doorknobs and swing the large doors open. I gasp. The dome shaped room is covered in soft white candles. The walls are covered from floor to ceiling in books and artifacts. Paintings of past Alphas grace it's walls. Picture windows show the forest outside. On the floor, is a white fur rug in front of a stone fireplace. Wood crackles and burns while flames dance in it. A beautifully set table for two wait with dinner. We just got back from the ball and River set up this surprise. I suck in a

RIVER "To good times and good mates!" Franco raises his glass to the group of men in the common room of the White Rock packhouse. We all clink our glasses and bottles. Blade walks in. He has his black hair pulled back, wearing a black tux. We're all in tuxes. We decided that since the ball is here in White Rock, we'd all get ready here at the packhouse and go to the ball together. Of course, we men are all waiting on the women. Michael comes in. "Looking good, guys." He's smiling in his own tux. His brown hair tossed but nicely done. I crane my neck to look at him behind me, then turn. Eying him up and down. "You clean up nice." I joke. He smirks. "I have my moments. I'm just glad your dad let me go. Though tomorrow I guess I face the music." His smile fades a bit. I put my hand on his shoulder. "I have

ANNAIt's been three days since the news of the ball being moved to White Rock.With most of the moles in Falcon Ridge Prison, we've been free to plan and talk about the battle.There's been a question about why it's taking so long to get a plan from the higher ups.Well, today, we hear it.They have us all outside. Two thousand strong. Even the new recruits are here. What a time to join the unit. It looks like some are now unsure of their decision. I don't blame them. Barely over two weeks into training and you're thrown to war. If we didn't need the bodies, they could sit this one out.There's a stage and a loud speaker set up. The higher ups are standing on the stage. Alpha Edwards and Alpha Eric are missing. I wonder if they were moles too.Alpha Andrews is addressing us."Good morning.&n

RIVER I kiss Anna bye as we separate for the morning. It's Monday, the place is a buzz of the Blue Moon Ball just a week away. I'm internally freaking out as I walk past all the happy faces. The few that know what's going on, shoot me looks as they pass. I cruze through the halls, heading to the trainers office to pick up my week's itinerary, when Zeke rounds the corner almost knocking me on my ass. He looks panicked. I stand. Pretending to look confused, though I know, he's most likely heard about the take down that's already started. "Hey, man." I smile. This time it's almost a smile filled with satisfaction to see him so scared. "What's up?" He looks around. "Uh, nothing. I...uh...have to go." He pushes past me and I grab his arm. "Why the hurry? What's going on?" I stare him down. He looks at my hand on his arm and shrugs it off.

MICHAEL"What time is it?" I send out a mindlink.I'm pacing back and forth across a dark alley way. The same alley way, Adrian threatened Anna in.I run my fingers through my hair with one hand while nervously shaking out the other as I walk.Anna answers. She's up the street, in an alley."It's only a few minutes since the last time you asked, Michael."River jumps in. He's in an alley across the street."Mike, stop fucking pacing."I shake my head."He's late. I don't like it. This doesn't feel right..."Anna links again."Michael relax.""Relax." I chuckle to myself. "The guys a raging lunatic and they want me to relax."River links."You didn't have a problem with him when you sold us out?""River!!" Anna scolds."That was different." I link"How? How was it different?" Ri

RIVER The shitshow of the last weekend has me on edge. Everyone's suspect. I'm trying so hard to hide it, but as I walk through the halls of the dorms, I can't help but question everyone I pass. Everyone's Dragon. I have to get it together. It doesn't help that I'm terrified that Anna has to be out of my sight for even a minute. My wolf hates the idea. He's been scrambling around in his cage since I dropped her off at her door. These next few weeks are going to be torture. Especially, where Zeke's involved. I just can't believe it. Zeke and me are best friends. We practically grew up together. I thought I knew everything about the guy. Turns out he's a fucking Dragon or at least a sell out. How can I be normal? How can I not lose my shit when he's around Anna? Throwing her that fake ass smile.

MICHAELI'm sweating fucking bullets. My hands are clammy. My mouth is dry.I can hear the voices inside. One's River's and one is deep, low, and downright scary. They're arguing about me.From the sounds of it, Alpha Blake wants to kill me right now. I don't blame him. If I wasn't such a coward, I probably would have done it myself. I'm the worst possible monster the shifter world could ever have. I sentenced my own people to death just to get laid. What kind if sick fuck does that? Me, that's who.I just hope I'll get the chance to make it right before they kill me. I need to make this right. Not for me. I'm not trying to clear my conscience, but for my people. For Anna and River. I need to save them before it's too late.As I'm led into the office, I'm met with cold, dark eyes. The guy looks like River, but he's fucking m

ANNAI run into the packhouse. Shaken, breathless"River!" I yell as I run up the stairs."River!!" I yell again. He pops out of the bedroom door. I skid to a stop. My eyes are full of fear. My breathing is fast.His face is full of confusion and concern. "Anna, what's wrong?""It's Michael. He's in trouble." I grab his arm.River ran his fingers through his hair. "Damn it, Anna. Did you go see him after I explicitly told you not to?"I shook my head. Swallowing trying to calm my breathing. "No. He came to me.""What?!" River's eyes changed to rage. "Did he hurt you? What did he do, Anna?!" He grabbed my arms, looking me over."No! River, he didn't touch me. Will you just listen?!" I shrugged his arms off.I told him everything Michael told me."He was t
