The continued sound of tapping causes me to stir in my sleep, I shake my head and roll to the side in hopes of dismissing the sound where I could fall back to sleep. But now I had given the sound my attention in the beginning, the tapping only intensified and made the idea of sleep simply leave my mind.

I slowly open my eyes; the bedroom was still dark which told me it was most likely extremely late in the night. I begin to scan the section of the room which I could see from where I was facing, but the bedroom door was still closed, and nothing seemed to be out of place to make that noise.

I stay in the same position for a second in hopes I would be able to hear what was making the noise without looking, the thought of turning over and seeing something terrifying consumed my mind. I begin to listen more closely; the sound was very persistent like it knew I had woken up and was just attempting to ignore it.

The sound only got that much more terrifying when I figured out what was bei

    Asher, Cameron and all the higher up ranking members of the pack stood in Asher’s office, each of them in a state of shock from the event which occurred last night with Liv. They were aware that this issue was growing more dangerous with each day that would tick by, but it was an issue they could put on a shelve for a moment as nothing big had happened to show real danger. But now Liv had seen this man, it seems they may have left it too long. “I demand to know how vermin such as him was able to slip into this pack undetected and reach my mate?!” Asher shouts his voice booming through the room, it was a good thing his office was soundproof or the whole pack would be listening to this conversation. “At this moment sir, we are unsure of how such an individual was able to gain entry into the pack or even if they were- “one of the men say, but Asher was soon to cut this man off by slamming his hand down on the desk in front of him. “It is not a question of if! My mate saw what she saw,

    After another few hours of hanging all of my new clothes up, which took up most of the huge wardrobe, we were done! As I stood looking at all of the many clothes which were hung up, I wondered if I’d be able to wear all of these. “And just like that, we’re done!” Becky cheers after hanging the last item of clothing up, which was a white flowing dress that would hang just above my ankles.It was such a beautiful dress and as soon as I went into the shop, my eyes were instantly, transfixed to where it was hung up. But I knew there probably wouldn’t be a reason for me to wear it, which was the reason I kept repeating to Becky when she picked it up and took it with us. But she also kept repeating to me, that she could see how much I adored the dress and there would be an event that will allow me to wear it. “That only took us the entire day! I was hoping I would be able to have a walk around as since arriving here, I haven’t had the chance to take in all of the nature filled sights.” I

    Asher remained silent and in his own head for a couple more seconds, but those seconds felt like hours as the people in the trees seemed to be getting closer. The once huge forest I had ran through and felt as though it went on forever, was now tiny and only getting smaller with every second that would tick by.My hand was still interlocked with Asher’s, his thumb running over my knuckles which was the only sign that he hadn’t fully gone into himself. I was also standing extremely close to him; I wondered if I would be able to get any closer if I tried. But in this moment, deep down I knew he would be able to protect me from whatever these things were. After a couple more minutes, Asher snaps out of his trance and looks around at those things for a second before turning back to us.“I have given the order for the pack to be put into lockdown, all of the women and children are being escorted to the pack houses basement for protection. The guards and fighters are all suited up and will

    After I told my mothers story, all of the children subsequently, went to sleep all huddled in a group at my feet or side. All of their mothers thanked me for calming them down before they too fell asleep, the only people that were awake was the guard and myself. I sat there looking deep into the darkness, the faces of the man in my window and the ones I saw in the forest filled my mind.The look of death, which was in their eyes alarmed me, I had never experienced anything such as that in my life before. I felt as though I was back to being the little kid, the one which would sit in her bed and cry for mother telling her there were monsters in my cupboards. She would come in and gently lay beside me, she would reassure me nothing would hurt me when she was around. The same story I had told the children would be recited, where I would be able to repeat the magical story word for word.A brave girl called Audrey, had to go on mission to save her people from the dangerous creatures which

    I slowly begin wake up to something nudging me, I turn over in hopes of whatever was bugging me would get the hint and leave me alone. But when it only continues, I force my eyes open to see Asher smiling down at me.He was in a completely different outfit to what he was last night, and this may sound weird, but he smelt clean, I knew this meant he had gotten up to shower whilst allowing me to sleep. But I also smelt a different kind of smell, I take a look down to his hands where a plate full of food sat.“I had the kitchen prepare your breakfast early as you were unable to eat yesterday.” He smiles moving the plate that much closer to my face, but I groan turning my head to the side still tired.“It’s too early to eat.” I say protesting him, but the smell of the food was reminding my body of the hunger it should be feeling, but I manage to shake that off and focus on falling back to sleep.I hear the sound of the plate being placed down on the bedside table before the other side of

    I sat on the blanket helping the children for around an hour, a smile being placed on my lips even though I wanted to scream in pain. I have never felt this amount of pain in all my life, I worried there was something seriously wrong with me, but I couldn’t allow myself to be consumed with that idea. The children had already been through a traumatic experience last night, I don’t want to add more fuel to the fire if I just begin to scream at the top of my lungs.My entire body felt as though it was on fire, but when I would take a look down at my skin, it seemed perfectly normal. Is my theory about sunburn, correct? I begin to sweat heaps so much so I worried I would leave a puddle under me once I was finished here. I even attempted to drink a ton of water to help me, but still the pain only increased and didn’t show signs of stopping.I had just finished helping a little girl named Lucy with her photo, whilst she ran over to show her teacher the photo, I place my head against the tre

    Asher holds my gaze for a moment, the pain wasn’t as severe when his eyes look deep into mine. I still hadn’t a clue what has happening with me but for some reason, now Asher was close by and reassured me I was going to be okay; I wasn’t scared anymore.But the little break I had from the pain didn’t last long, the burning sensation which spread throughout my body was more intense than it had been before. I couldn’t contain the blood curdling scream which left my lips, my heels digging into the floor as I lay there. Once I opened my eyes, I see Asher watching me with such remorse in his expression.“I will go and run you a cold bath, do not go anywhere.” He tells me sternly before getting to his feet and walking towards the bathroom, what does this guy think I’m going to do in this predicament, run a gosh darn marathon?!But now he had gotten further away from me, the pain only increased to a higher level than before. I roll to my stomach and begin to sob from the pain, I didn’t want

    I jump awake to find myself back in my hospital bed, my mother sat beside me looking down to the floor. She hadn’t noticed that I had woken up, but I got a sense, something wasn’t right about this situation.“Mum?” I ask worry clear on my expression; she lifts her hand to her face and seems to wipe away tears before she shows me her face with her faint smile.“My little sunflower, it’s great to see you awake.” She smiles taking my hand in hers, but I wasn’t dumb and knew she was hiding something to spare my feelings.The door opens and in walks my father, he also had remanence of tears on his cheeks. But once the door closes behind him and no one else walks in, I begin to feel sick to my stomach.“Mum, where’s Scott?” I ask the terrified feelings that had been growing from seeing both parents cry start to reach a bubbling over point.I knew Scott had been injured, but I was told he was being taken into surgery. The doctors were able to help me, so I knew they’d be able to do the same

    A week soon flies by after the war, my days being anything but relaxing. The first day was spent with me being checked over by a doctor. No matter how many times I would tell Asher that I was fine, he insisted that a doctor check me over just in case I had been nipped by a vampire and just didn’t know it! Yes, I know how that sounds but he wouldn’t have any of it.Once the doctor found that I was okay, like I had repeatedly told Asher, I spent the next day speaking with the pack members. They were all overjoyed and offered me kind words and hugs for saving them, I smiled thanking them but also reminding everyone I had not been fighting alone. They had all of the fighters and Thomas to thank also, which everyone was more than happy to do.Speaking of the fighters, none of our men were killed and only one had been injured but not severely. I visited him in the hospital where he was still up and about, due to make a full recovery.The celebrations had not only been within our pack, many

    Within a matter of ten minutes, all of the woman and children were safely hiding in the basement, while I stood with Thomas and all of the fighters waiting for my call. Going into this, I thought I would be absolutely, terrified standing here about to set off but to not even have Asher beside me. But perhaps it was because I knew what I was doing or, they had taken Asher from me, but I was more than ready to make each and every one of those disgusting monsters pay for everything they had done to so many people.Thomas walks over to me with that same worried look on his lips, he wasn’t in armour as he was one of the fighters which will be in wolf form to take on more of these beasts.“You look ready.” He smiles coming to a stop right in front of me, I only nod my head staring back into the forest a sea of trees filling my view, somewhere in there was Asher being forced to watch all of this unfold.I couldn’t mind-link him to even ask if he was okay, it was as though there was something

    Five weeks later.It has been weeks since Asher and I arrived back after visiting my parents, each day has been busier than the last. Every morning, I have woken up at 4am to begin my training with Cameron, those training sessions lasting until 7am. When I went into this whole training with Cameron, I was under the impression that he’d be his jokey self and we’d have a great time. Yes, he does have his moments in between exercise where he makes a joke, but most of the time, he’s serious.~~Cameron stood in front of me with his claws extended, we had just done an exercise with swords as the vampires are known to use them, but he wanted me to be prepared for everything, so now he was using hand to hand combat.I was able to block his first hits, we had also worked so hard on my speed, so I’d be able to dodge any of the enemies blows to my body. I was able to grab his arm as spin him around, but when he turns to face me, his claw cuts into my arm where a long cut sat.“Ouch.” I say taki

    We were soon woken up by my mother telling us dinner was ready, but both me and Asher had a solid few hours of sleep which will get us through the long drive home. I know I never told my dad that I wanted my mothers famous Cumberland Pie, but boy have I missed this! My mother has been making this ever since I was little, it’s my favourite dish of hers. Even Asher seemed to really enjoy it, but deep in his mind, I knew he couldn’t stop thinking about Justin and the safety of the pack. He would engage in conversation whenever he was spoken to, that same smile on his lips answering whatever question my mother would ask. To his delight, the time had come for us to head home and deal with Justin.We were stood outside of our house with my parents, my mum getting teary eyed as she watched Asher sort the car to leave. I knew I should stay longer as I had been away for months, but I couldn’t just abandon the pack at a time like this.“Are we not going to see you again for another six months?

    The awkward tension which lingered in the air was thick, neither men uttered a word and I didn’t know what I could say to make this situation better. Asher and my dad were refusing to break eye contact, to show the other that they weren’t scared and definitely, wouldn’t be the first to back down.“I’m curious if you’ve only shacked up with my daughter because you really want to be with her or, it’s just yours and fathers way of getting back at me.” My dad says crossing his arms over his chest, but I only roll my eyes at his stupid comment while Asher, let’s out a low growl in his direction.“I’d watch your mouth Fawcett, you may be my mates father, but I will still rip you to shreds given the opportunity.” Asher growls out looking my dad in the eyes, I step forward taking his arm in hopes he wouldn’t begin to swing for my father.“Well, I guess I’m not understanding, I leave your town because of disagreements and now you’re suddenly, mated to my daughter. Tell me how that makes sense.

    I was soon sent upstairs to pack a bag for the trip, I knew we were only going for one night, so I didn’t have to pack much. I wasn’t giving myself much time to think about what was happening, I was actually going back home to see my parents after all of this time. Yes, we have to sit down and ask my dad questions I never thought he knew anything about, but just to see them will be so lovely.But there was also a little issue I had found, what if my mother asks where I have been and won’t let me leave? What if Tanya, has returned home and I run into her? Am I going to have to lie to them? What if they ask to return with us, it’s much too dangerous?!I zip up the bag after packing my own things and Asher’s, I made sure to ask him what he wanted me to pack beforehand. He was downstairs talking with Thomas and Cameron, making sure they were fully equipped to run the pack whilst he isn’t here. But also, telling them the conversation we had goes no further and that includes Becky.I mean t

    I stare down at the photo still at a loss, my dad and Asher’s were best friends? Why did I never know this before? I knew my dad was in the army for a while but after I was born, he stepped back and started working as a mechanic so he would be closer to home to help my mum raise me. But I had no idea he came all the way out here! That must mean my dad also knows about werewolves, so when my mother used to tell me the story about The Unknown Luna A, did he know what she meant? Did he ever tell her?!“Are you sure it’s your father?” Thomas asks picking up the photo while I get to my feet to pace, but when I turn to look at him raising my eyebrow, he understands. “I guess now that I’m really looking at his face, you do have some similarities.” He shrugs placing the photo on the table once again, but I still couldn’t understand what any of this meant.“Why does my father have anything to do with this situation, Spencer said this will all point to us finding out who this spy was, but it’s

    Thomas and I soon arrive back home, I didn’t fully understand how I was going to be able to explain this all to Asher. I was fully lost myself on what all of this meant, I went to see Patricia in hopes she would offer me more insight, but she only answered questions I didn’t even know I needed answers to.Thomas suggested we head in Asher’s home office, that and his pack house office were two of the most secure places. We don’t need the spy for the vampires coming around and seeing everything we had, they’ll find us when we want them to find us.Asher had a mini table beside his desk, I suppose it was if he had to have meetings with more than one person, they could all sit around the table together. I sit at the table pulling the file out into the open, thankfully, none of the papers have fallen out on our journey here. Thomas pulls out the chair beside me with a smile, but when I place the necklace down on the table, he shuffles away a little.“You really don’t like that thing do you

    The safe was full with a huge folder, what seemed to be jewellery and a type of liquid in a bottle looking back at me. I turn back towards Thomas in hopes he knew what any of these things were, but when he gives me the same look I had on my face, I see we were both at a loss.I reach forward and pick up the first item, it was a long silver necklace which wrapped around my hand once I had picked it up. Thomas backs up even more once he saw, I guess he was very much scared of that silver touching him. But now it was out of the safe, I could look and take in all of the many details. The pendant was of a man with a beard his eyes closed but a crown on his head, whatever this necklaces purpose was, it seems expensive. But also, I felt as though I knew this from somewhere yet, I still have no idea where from.I unwrap the necklace from my hand and gently placed down on the hardwood flooring, the light from the window causing it to sparkle and glisten. I now reach for the white liquid in a c
