LucyHenry made the lift let me out in front, and pushed me inside the building Stacy nudged me into the wheelchair waiting for me just outside my room with a beaming smile.“Some of the people you’ll meet will also be helping on the team as they’re already in magical training, but most of them will be older,” Stacy said. “Oh, and of course, there’s the mixer with all the new students that Riley organizes. It’ll be great!”“Which is happening first?” I asked.“The mixer,” Stacy said. “We didn’t want to overwhelm you with too much at one time.”I nodded. “Why… aren’t there any other werewolves around to test this out on?”Stacy hummed. “Well, to put it simply: politics. Werewolves are cagey and tend to be pretty rude. No one likes them, as a rule. And the Hecate Coven has a terrible track record with werewolves. They designed t

LucyHis eyes widened. “I… Holy shit, really? Where did you end up?”I sat back in my seat and fiddled with the hem of my sleeve. “Well. I… got adopted, but it wasn’t… I mean, it wasn’t the best.”His lips twitched, and he nodded. “I figured as much… you know, since you’re here.”He nodded to the rest of the group. “I don’t know if you remember any of them, but they were at the orphanage too.”I shook hands with them. Tina brought me a plate, and for a few hours, it was like I was a normal teenager. Most of them seemed to know more about the world than I did, but we had all been brought into the supernatural world through an auction.I frowned and looked around at the group.“Are… you all werewolves?”Each of them nodded. “Though, no one can say for certain which pack we’re supposed to be from?”

TonyI snarled through the bars at the SCF operative who looked completely unfazed.“I will kill you.”The woman smiled coldly. “Please give me a reason to kill you both. It would make my day.”I growled at her. “Where the hell is our liaison? You can’t confine us like this for no reason.”“I know you’re mostly animal but do try to keep up,” she said. “You attacked a highly respected and important inter-species official unprovoked—”“She stole our mate!” Matt roared beside me.“—endangered her life and the life of her beloved familiar, and nearly revealed the entire supernatural community when you transformed in full view of a very large gathering and the hundreds of drivers on the road.” She smiled. “You’ll be in there until the Council can push and shove itself around enough let you out.”“You&rsqu

TonyI looked at Matt, waiting for him to understand. His jaw trembled. His eyes flashed. Then, he spoke.“Y-You mean… that she’s not coming back because she doesn’t feel safe here?”I shuddered and nodded. “And while nothing else happened since she was poisoned. I can’t help but think that she has good reason to fear being here…”Matt growled. “But… But I--- But we—”“I know.” I huffed. “But it’s the truth, isn’t it? We couldn’t even keep her safe in the den. The fact she was taken from the venue is a whole other issue… as much as I don’t want to admit it, Matt, we… we can’t protect her.”Matt shuddered and dropped onto a rock. “I… I don’t know what to say, Tony. I don’t know what to do… Between this and Dad…”I swallowed and started to pace. &ldquo

Tony“Those women?” Matt asked. “The lunas?”“I should have just gotten her a luna etiquette teacher from the beginning. I should have never let those women into our den.”Matt sighed. “Did you really have a choice? Politics and all? I mean… we can’t really afford to cut ties like that can we?”I set my jaw. “She could have been more prepared to deal with them if I had gotten her into lessons first.”Matt snorted. “And who was going to teach her? One of them? One of their friends?”“It would have at least been better for her.” I thought back to the look on her face, the way she seemed to withdraw more and more after that meeting. “Whatever they said… scared her. It didn’t make her feel safe with us. I know that’s not all of it, but it’s a part of it.”“We can’t fix what they said, Tony.”&ldq

LucySomeone hurried by as I followed her toward the giant doors at the front of the building. I watched the step into the air and take off through the air. I gasped as the figure started to fly away.“How…”Araya chuckled. “Brooms would be way too obvious.”I looked over to another set of people who were conjuring fire in the palm of their hands and chatting over books. As we went through the doors, I smelled a different floral scent in the air. There was a pair of people, a man and a woman, with a bunch of books floating behind them. The largest one was floating just in front of them as they walked and talked. In the middle of the large room was a long row of desks a few feet into the building, but I could see people walking around and heading off into random doorways behind it. The back wall was all glass and showed a landscape that couldn’t have been real.Everyone looked so busy. It was kind of what I imagined a co

LucyAfter I told the man that, the session got a little awkward, and he hurried through getting me out with a disgruntled look on his face. I was glad to be out and even happier that I had sad something. I smiled at the thought. I had changed a lot in just this little bit of time. A few weeks ago, I wouldn’t have said anything.Just like she promised, Araya was there when I was done with my evaluation. There wasn’t an admission’s person available at the moment, so I had to wait a little while, but the more I thought about it, the more assured I felt.“Who pissed you off?” Araya asked, tilting her head as I grew closer.I sank into the seat beside her. “I… The evaluator wasn’t very nice.”Araya snorted. “They almost never are. What’d he say?”I sighed. “He… said that because I’m a werewolf I won’t want anything but to find my mate and have chi

LucyI looked up at the woman’s voice calling me. She looked a little older than the other guy and smiled brightly.Araya nodded me towards her. “Go on. We’ll talk plenty.”I nodded and went with the woman, hoping that she would be nicer than the man had been. She led me to her office which was cozy with squishy over-stuffed couches and a chandelier made of multi-colored gemstones that threw rainbows around the room.“Based on the scans, you’re best fit for at least the basic, internal magical courses. Once that restraint is off, you might have to adjust your plans, but for now, let’s talk about what is it that you want to do?”I looked down and glanced up at her. “I was thinking about magical law enforcement.”She nodded. “As a field operative or administrative support?”I bit my lip, considering it. Then, I heard Araya’s words in my head. I had

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
