My heart was hammering. I knew before the car had pulled to a stop who was in the car. The vision of myself pressed up against a window in the Blue Moon Estate, dead-eyed, pregnant in nothing more than that white dress flashed through my mind. I heard the Moon Goddess’ voice and my stomach lurched. I couldn’t breathe. My heart raced, and a surge of panic threatened to overwhelm me. I tried my best to push it away, to push through it, but I couldn’t.Tony came around the side of the car. His eyes nearly glowing. His face flushed and pinched tight in anger. He reminded me of my adoptive father when he’s come home in his worse moods. I stumbled back until I felt someone behind me.I turned back and looked up at Duke. He wrapped his arms around me.“Take her to the greenhouse. Now,” David said.Duke pulled me away from the sidewalk and further away from the opening in the gate.

DavidI stood between Tony and Stacy’s car, listening for when Lucy got into the car. I heard some the Council Enforcers murmuring between themselves as the humans from Helping Hands started disbursing. Stacy’s car didn’t move. Tony didn’t move, glaring at me with fury in his eyes. I felt it rolling off of him, but it felt subdued. It felt like I was right. My instincts were telling me that Tony was under some kind of curse. It was probably the only thing keeping him from breaking the law again. Strangely enough, Matt didn’t seem as affected. The feeling I got from him was subdued, but not in the same way. They had both been cursed, but Matt’s curse seemed to be dissolving faster if it had been completely dissolved. I glanced at Matt again and kept myself from smirking. I bet every tire on every car the Blood Moon Pack owned that Tony didn’t know that his little brother was free. I decided to tuck that little tidbit aw

Lucy I got in the backseat with Stacy, who pulled me close and glared over my head as Tony stood outside, just on the other side of David. I was grateful that I couldn’t hear anything. I hoped that he couldn’t see me. Why weren’t we moving?Stacy’s phone chimed. She checked it. “Let’s get going,” she said. The driver turned on the car and she continued to rock me before grabbing a blanket from the back. “You’re freezing. It’s all right. We’ll get you back home and get you something warm to drink, okay?”I nodded, shuddering. As we pulled away, I caught sight of Tony getting into the car and Matt following them. Soon, their car was following us. I shuddered. “It’s all right,” Stacy said. “We’ve shaken better tails before.”I watched the streets of Hecate City change and change again as we seemed to be just driving around.

LucyShe stared at me for a few moments. “I have given you a gift, and if you think you will not accept it with grace, you will only make it more difficult for yourself.”She narrowed her eyes. “Don’t be a fool, Lucy. You only have power because I have allowed it.”“Then take it.”Her eyes widened. She looked as if she hadn’t expected me to say that. Then her expression changed to something that should have seemed maternal, but it only reminded me of my adoptive mother right before she wanted to take what little extra money I had made. It’s for the family.You owe us for taking care of you all this time. What do you know about how much things cost?“You’ve allowed those witches to convince you that you have power. You have no power. It’s not your place to have power,” she shook her head. “You’ll be so much happier with your alphas. Don’t you

LucyMy heart surged with hope as we got to the room just as someone screamed. I jumped back as the large man crashed to the floor and groaned. He was at least half a head taller than the man who had thrown him and the rest of the room looked stunned. “Anyone else?”“Luke?” Duke and I asked. He turned around with a brilliant smile. His hair was tied up and out of his face. His eyes were bright. “I was wondering if you two had gotten lost. Come on in, we’re about to get started.”We shuffled to the back of the room, looking nervous as Luke hauled the large man off the ground and clapped him on the shoulder. “Hopefully, that teaches you all that your size means almost nothing. Welcome to your first day of the Basics of Magical Combat. You can pick up your syllabus after I’ve had a chance to observe you all and develop plans for you. By the end of this course, you should be fit enough to

MattFuck. I couldn't shake the memory of the look in David's eyes. It was mocking and smug. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.That smirk felt like a nail in my coffin. He knew. Fuck, he knew. I didn’t know how he knew, but he definitely knew. I couldn’t even focus on Tony’s boiling fury as he ordered our beta to follow the car Lucy had gotten into. When we went through the tunnel and ended up in Blue Moon territory. Our beta stopped the car. Tony got out and screamed. He started punching a tree and had been at that for a few minutes while I tried not to panic. Tony was going to be pissed, even more pissed than he was now if he found out. David was going to hold onto that little tidbit until it served him best. How did he know? What would he ask for? What could I do? Should I just tell Tony?Tony ripped the door open and got back in. “Take us to the Council Hall.”I winced at the snarling quality of his voice. I wish I had something to d

Matt“I’ve been fighting a headache… And I was… thinking about Lucy.”I waited for him to call me out, but there was nothing but silence and as soft sigh.“Sounds like we should do to a healer,” Tony said. “When did your headache start?”“Off and on,” I lied. “Did you… notice?”“Notice what?”“…how happy she looked.”“What?” Tony growled. “Don’t start talking nonsense. She’s not happy. She’s not where she’s meant to be, where she’s destined to me: with us. With our pack, building a family with us.”I swallowed. Images of Lucy's radiant smile and the sparkle in her eyes plagued my mind, tugging at my heart. Guilt tumbled through me. I should keep my mouth shut, but I couldn’t. I might be a coward, but I’m not that much of a coward. “She… never laughed when she was with us.”He growled again. “Don’t even go there. There was too much going on, too many things to teach her.”“But did we teach her?” “What?”I searched for the words. “We didn’t… reach her anything.”“She didn’t have the i

LucyI blinked, looking around for Jordan, if maybe it was a trick, but no one I asked seemed to know anything about Jordan. They didn’t even notice anyone being near me during lunch. I tried to keep an eye out for him for the rest of the day, but I didn’t see him. Finally, it was Friday and time for the field trip with Luke and Duke. I used the moving ring to get from Stacy’s to the coven campus. It felt like a surge of energy raced through me and then whisked me away. In an instant, the world around me shifted, and I found myself standing on the Hecate campus.Soon, Duke appeared, walking up from the front door. “Do you know a Jordan?” he asked. “I… Well, we talked yesterday, but no one spoke to knew him.”“I was going to ask you the same thing.” Thomas came up behind us. “Glad to see you two are excited.”“You’re coming too?” I asked. “I’m only hear to ensure there’s no need transportation,” Thomas said. “I promise not to intrude on the field trip.”We headed further into the

LucyI came downstairs a little while later as Luke was pulling down plates and bowls. “Something wrong?”"Where are we?" I asked, “You said Whitetower Cottage, but…”Luke offered a faint smile, his eyes gleaming. "The exact location isn’t too important.”I wrinkled my nose. “That sounded like you’re not telling me for a reason.”He smiled. “A lot of people would like to be able to get here, but the area is blocked off and there are so few people who know where this place is. I’d like to keep it that way.”“Why… bring us here?”Duke came down stairs with a large bag. "Sometimes, magic is best learned when we are surrounded by nature, when we can feel its pulse without interference.” His lips twitched. “For two who didn’t grow up with magic nearby, I figured it would be best.”His words resonated with me, and a sense of familiarity washed over me as I gazed out the window and through the trees. There was something about this place that felt familiar. It was like there was a deep conn

LucyThe morning sun, a mischievous wink through the blinds, painted golden stripes across our bed. I snuggled deeper into the warmth of David's embrace, the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest a soothing lullaby. He slipped his hand across my lower back. The warmth of his bare skin against mine set a spark of pleasure through me. He rumbled low and content into my hair. “Wake up,” David rumbled. He kissed my head and twined a curl around his finger. “We have things to do.”“You shouldn’t have kept me up all night.”He chuckled. “You didn’t say that last night.”I nudged him. He dipped his head to nip my lips. “You know, if it’s too much, you can always tell me to slow down.”He’d been saying that for five years now, and I never found a reason to tell him to. He knew that. His eyes flickered between colors. I nipped his lower lip. “Give me a reason.”He smirked and rolled me onto my back. “To slow down or…”“To get up,” I said as he kissed

LucyI sat on the cold stone, watching her, but she didn’t move another muscle. I didn’t know how long it had been, but it didn’t matter. The spectral glow around her was starting to dim, and my mind was just too stressed to do too much thinking. The light of the ritual, the spell I’d used, the blood on my hands all flashed through my mind, and part of me wondered if it was all just a dream. I looked down at the stained and ruined gown. The armor was as pristine as ever, but most of the embroidered roses were torn or stained. This dress would never be white again, let alone whole. I flicked a piece of the long, gossamer fabric and shook my head. I really liked this dress.“Lucy!”I turned my head toward the sound of David’s voice, wrung out and relieved to hear him. He was rushing through the air towards me. He dropped down a few feet from me, looking so worried I could cry.I smiled at him as he dropped to his knees beside me and threw his arms around me,

LucyI sailed through the air, landing with a jarring thud within the ritual circle. With a trembling hand, I pushed myself up, my senses on high alert. A figure, cloaked in darkness, appeared in front of me. My blood ran cold. Selene."Well, well, Lucy," her voice, honeyed yet laced with venom, slithered into the darkness. "Thank you ever so much for making this easy at last.”I grit my teeth. I wouldn't go down without a fight. Straightening my shoulders, I met her gaze, my voice shaking but resolute. "You underestimate me.” “No, Lucy,” her voice dropped, and a cruel smile twisted her lips. "You underestimate me.” The chanting grew louder around me. I lunged for the necklace, my fingers grazing its cold surface before Selene snatched it away, a triumphant gleam in her eyes. But that touch, fleeting as it was, ignited something. I felt her pushing at my mind. I felt her shoving me back until I could see the forest from before, and we were fighting in a ci

MattMy vision pulsed and flickered, a strobe light of pain blurring the edges of reality. Tony rained blows down on me, slashing with claws. Each hit chipped away at my resolve and my control, leaving behind a raw desperation to end this quickly. My armor protected me from most of the damage, but still. He was always the stronger of the two of us. I thought it was just because he was the older of the two of us, but this was different. I thought for sure he was going to bite off my head. Then, a flash of golden light arced through the air, and a spear lanced past my shoulder, catching Tony square in the chest. I turned back to see Ginevra hovering in the air. Her golden dress glowed as she passed me with a glowing winge spreading from her back. What the absolute fuck?Tony staggered, falling to the ground, and Dad darted forward, encasing Tony in a shimmering web of light. The wave turned to chains. He thrashed and howled, straining against the magical bonds, but t

LucyPeter's breath hitched, rasping, and shallow, then deepened into a cough that wracked his battered body. His eyelids fluttered, eyelids so pale they were almost luminous in the dim torchlight. He struggled to get up, leaning on his Spear and on Michelle. The light pulsing through the Spear rippled over his skin. He let out a soft sigh and stumbled a little. “Peter?”“I... It’s gone.”“What?” Michelle gasped as his hair started to change, losing the gray color and growing dark. His face turned younger until I was sure that he was all of twenty-something. He grew a bit taller, too, bigger until his shirt strained against his chest and his buttons popped. He flushed. “Well… that’s not…” He cleared his throat as Michelle smiled up at him. “So this is what you looked like in your youth?”He scoffed. “I’m much younger than you think.”He grunted, pressing a hand to his side. “Wish the Spear would heal the wound, though.”I winced. “Sorry… it’s a

PeterMy feet pounded a frantic rhythm against the uneven earth, branches whipping at my face, thorns tearing at my clothes. How long had I been running? How much further did I have to go? I didn’t know, and it didn’t matter so long as I got there. My lungs burned, legs screaming in protest, but still I ran. The trail of blood behind me and the patchwork of wounds across my body, chunks of missing and regrowing flesh, weren’t my concern right now. The creature—the wolf was after me, and unlike before, it didn’t seem willing to back off or slow down. It was going to kill me, and what happened after that was anyone’s guess. Behind me, the guttural snarl of the wolf echoed through the trees. Too close to be comfortable. Too close to make sense. This was too much like that dream, but worse. So much worse. The sky was a kaleidoscope of images I could barely make out. They flashed in the sky and in my vision, making it hard to see. I saw Lucy. I saw Michelle. The long

LucyAdrenaline surging, I grabbed Michelle and pulled her after me deeper into the inky depths of the tunnel.“Quick!”She panted. “What’s going on? Peter—”“He’s possessed,” I said. “Just keep running for now!”I saw my Allison up ahead, leading me down another tunnel. Behind us, I heard Peter's guttural snarls, the rhythmic thud of his feet echoed eerily in the confined space. We had to lose him and the other one quickly, but we didn’t seem to be putting enough distance between us. Panic coiled in my gut, urging me to run faster and push my body beyond its limits. Michelle kept up relatively well. We twisted and turned, navigating the treacherous path by torchlight and the spectral murmurs of White Moon's fallen. But the passage seemed to twist back on itself. When we were back at the forked path, the faint light that had been illuminating the tunnel went out, plunging us into darkness.Michelle shuddered. She drew closer to me and tightened her grip on m

LucyI was back in that house with that couple that adopted me. I felt the floorboards creaking as I went downstairs. I saw the men in suits. I shrieked, turning. Not again. I couldn’t be back here. Where was David? How had I gotten back here? I looked down. I wasn’t… wearing the dress or the armor. I had no daggers. My hair was just as uncombed and dry as it had been then. When I looked in the mirror, the skinny young woman who had barely had anything more than ramen and school lunch stared back at me. My stomach lurched. The door opened, and I turned to run, knowing what was about to happen. I dug my heels in as dark shadows pulled me towards the door. I felt myself being lifted onto someone’s shoulders. I fought and kicked, but all my training and all my strength were gone. I saw the calendar on the wall, but the date was different. It wasn’t my birthday. It was the day of the Crescent Moon Festival. I screamed, grabbing anything I could manage. Then, Sele

DavidOren's head arced through the firelit air, landed, and rolled. His body dropped to the ground, still spurting blood. Then, all hell broke loose.The shimmering barrier around the Ball faltered, rippling like a pond, before collapsing entirely. Hunters poured into the arena, their snarls blending with everyone's shocked gasps. “Defensive measures, now!” I yelled, my voice carrying over the sound of the attack. A group of dragon shifters took to the sky as my blade clashed with the first hunter. How had they gotten through the barrier? I saw a flicker of a ghost and growled. “Selene!” I shoved the hunter back, slicing through him before sending out a shockwave of air. She’d been behind this, and maybe she’d been planning this for years, using the werewolf virus to spy on the preparations. It would make sense to try and get rid of me. I was the direct descendant of Fenris. More than that, it was their movements. Each and every one of them moved e
