My vision blurred. I couldn't believe what I had seen. Everything I thought I knew about the Moon Wars, about the packs, about werewolves was wrong, and suddenly, the mural that guarded that passageway made so much more sense.
I had to figure out where it led to and why. My mother had come through it, from where?
I bit my lip. It had to have been from the White Moon Estate. I thought that was Selene's line. It would make the most sense for her to want to have a tight grip on Blood Moon, given the way this all started, but something told me that wasn't the case.
Maybe... Maybe there had been another shifter line like mine?
My eyes widened as the thought seemed to echo through me.
Then, I heard running footsteps, and the darkness cleared to the sight of a forest through which Oren and Selene were making their escape, laughing tauntingly like two insane people getting away with murder. I set my jaw. Knowing that the werewolf

Lucy "A feisty little thing. I can see why my sons had such fun with you." My gut lurched as I struggled and pushed. He laughed. "Don't worry. If you relax, you'll enjoy it." I twisted, trying to kick back as he wrenched my arm up higher against my back. "Doesn't seem like Xavier's brat has tasted you yet," he chuckled. "Good. Tony doesn't deserve to have to share with that punk... Keep it in the family, I say." He yanked me back and threw me onto the ground. I rolled away from him until my back hit the large boulder. He turned, palming his crotch as Selene shook her head. "I had planned to let the twins have you only, but I see no reason. Perhaps a bit of time with Oren will teach you your place," Selene laughed, sitting above me on the boulder. My pulse quickened as Oren closed in on me, his menacing presence sending shivers down my spine. I got from in front of the boulder, reme

Lucy My eyes were already welling with tears. She didn't say anything, just leaned back, lifting her head and murmuring to herself. Tears slipped down her cheeks, and I shook my head, not wanting it to be true. Not knowing what it meant. Trent got to his feet as she slid to the ground, sobbing. I followed, not believing that it could be true. I dashed into the room, my heart pounding with fear and uncertainty. My eyes burned with tears. He couldn't be. He couldn't be gone. "Scared the hell out of us," Trent said, his voice gentle. Another woman wept quietly in the corner of the room, yet the image that met my eyes was one I had been yearning for. David lay on the bed, his pale and weakened form still, but his eyes were open. The darkness was slowly receding back towards the wound in his shoulder with little flickers of flame of different colors flickering in the open wound. His eyes were glowing. Instead

PeterA jolt of shock and disbelief surged through me as I processed Vasil's words. Stolen? When? How?"Stolen?" I repeated, my voice edged with frustration and desperation. "What do you know about the theft?"Vasil sighed heavily, his expression revealing his own disappointment. "It was taken just a few days ago... Right around the time you went into a coma. The theft was executed with an alarming level of sophistication. The museum's security was bypassed entirely. They're working on recovering the surveillance footage."I clenched my fists, my mind racing. It couldn't have been a coincidence that it was stolen around the same time I had dreamed of it. No, whoever stole the spear was connected to these dreams and the way the werewolf virus was acting in my body.The disappearance of it left me with a growing sense of unease."Do they have any leads? Any information on the black market for it?"Vasil s

LucyThe world slowly swam into focus as I stirred, warmth enveloping me. I shifted slightly, my eyes blinking open, and found myself nestled against David. His eyes were closed still, fluttering with the remnants of a dream. He was breathing still.Alive.My heart fluttered with relief as I took in the sight of him. He was still surrounded by a faint, multicolored aura, but the difference from before was stark. He looked healthier and stronger as if life had surged back into him.The fire that had been burning in his wound was still going, but it seemed to be floating into the air, too."David?" I whispered.A faint smile played on his lips as he reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face. Slowly, he opened his eyes. They were like a captivating kaleidoscope of colors, and they held a spark of vitality and health."Hey," he murmured, his voice a little raspy but filled with warmth. "Miss me?"

LucyAfter the fitting, as we left Gabriel's boutique, Stacy and I were both in high spirits. The anticipation of the upcoming Crescent Moon Festival made it feel like the attack and everything else had faded away.Stacy, always full of energy and enthusiasm, couldn't resist talking about the festival."It's a shame I won't be there, but promise to take plenty of pictures? And I want to hear all about it when you get back."I nodded, sharing her excitement. "I promise, but why can't you come?"She smiled. "Security risk. No magical dates to go with."I pouted. "We can't find you a supernatural date? I'm sure David knows someone?""My age?" She asked."He has... a lot of family.""We could be related!" She cried, grinning at me. "It's no rush, but I'll ask. Where is your paramour?"I winced. "He's... sick."Her eyes narrowed, and she nodded slowly. "Well, I hope he gets better soon...""

DavidI stretched lazily, letting out a contented sigh as the haze of sleep started to fade. The warmth of Lucy and I's shared moments lingered in the room, and Lucy's comforting scent still clung to my sheets. I couldn't help but smile despite her absence. Her thoughtfulness always managed to touch my heart.I reached for the note she had left on the nightstand. Her delicate handwriting was a familiar sight, and I read her words carefully.Hey, David,You looked so peaceful sleeping, so I didn't want to disturb you. Please get some rest and eat something. I'll come check on you after I finish my homework. See you soon!Lucy.The tenderness in her message warmed me. With a sense of gratitude, I folded the note and tucked it into the small book on my nightstand. I tried to sit up and groaned at the pain that still racked my body. It wasn't as bad, but it wasn't good either.&

LucyI was in the car again, fear pounding through my veins. The night of the attack replayed itself, each scene more vivid than the last. The chaos, the sinister laughter of Selene, and the desperate chase rushed through my mind. I was breathless and panicked. I heard the bullets ricocheting and myself scream as we went flying over the edge of a cliff, free falling.I didn't remember this, but I heard myself panting. I heard David's voice like thunder cracking in the small space of the car, chanting something. Then, there was heat around me. I caught a glimpse of scales, abyss black and iridescent. Metal crunched and creaked. He shielded me with his immense wings; a magical barrier rippled around us like an impenetrable cocoon.The night flashed through my mind. Then, there was screaming, the thudding of footsteps, and the sharp sound of something cutting through the air. I knew what it was now."No!"I sat up, shuddering and fighting my blankets,

LucyI sat in the courtyard, eating from a lunchbox I'd bought from the school cafeteria, feeling good about myself. Stacy told me something about karma, and it felt like a good time to get some good karma by letting Tom have some alone time with Duke. Thinking back to that grateful grin Tom had flashed as they left, I felt even better.Maybe it wasn't completely fair to Duke, but it was for his own good.At least I was more subtle than Sarah.I laughed to myself."And what are you giggling about?" Duke asked, standing just behind me. I looked up as he glowered down at me."Had fun?""You ditched me," Duke said, finding me much later. He glowered at me. "You never came."I smiled. "I just wanted to give you time with your admirer."He flushed. "That's not... Stop playing around."I scoffed and linked arms with him. "It was so obvious, Duke. I know you noticed."He was stiff as I looked up at h

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
