My phone feels like a rock as I place it in my pocket. I thought I'd feel better, texting Thorne for a date.

But I don't.

I just feel angry, hurt, and confused.

I should text him back, and tell him it was a mistake.

I'm such a mess, maybe I shouldn't have any type of relationship with anyone right now, no mater how kind they seem. My heart hasn't had enough time to heal from my previous heartbreak. Just last week I was head over heels in love with Zion, ready to share the last of my

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 218: For A Spell

    [The Moon Goddess]My children gather in three places, the past, the present and the future. The Alpha King and his Witch Queen, along with their companions–the Dark Prince and his Lady Death, the True Knight and his Maiden Luna, each couple making one of the points of the eternal triangle of change. The King and Queen take the beacon of hope in their hands, lighting the way, bringing the others into the new reality that together, as a circuit, they create in their minds and hearts. A new path. A new chance.As I watch from above, unable to touch more than their hearts, it begins again, like so many times before. Around and around in a cycle. These destined pairs dance along the threads of fate that weave their hearts into a tapestry both bright with light and heavy with purpose and moments of regret. But this is the way it is with life. It is a making…and an unmaking. Both are the same, in the greater scheme of time. A cycle ever completing itself. What has happened before might ha

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 217

    [Hazel]Rudy takes my hand and immediately, power surges between us as our bodies seek equilibrium, just as they would if we were both witches. His witch blood is almost completely dormant, coming from a distant ancestor through his maternal grandmother, but since destroying the last of the drones together with his strength guiding my power, I’ve sensed something different about the flavor of his power. It’s as if whatever small part of him was connected to magic had somehow sparked to life, and with each passing hour, more of his witch essence is bubbling to the surface, energizing his already dominant alpha aura. He still smells like my mate, but his power tastes…different. Richer with more nuanced undertones of something that sparks with spice and power. Inhaling deeply, I let his scent roll around on the back of my tongue as I squeeze his hand firmly, feeling his love and desire to help to flow through our bond.“I love you too,” I say through our link. When his eyes spark, glowi

    [Hazel]The hidden train carrying us from the station at Devil’s Ridge, just beyond Moon River City, to the coastal town of Crescent City, moves swiftly, faster than any monorail on the surface. Even the elegant train in Moon River City, the most sophisticated civilian transport in the west, feels slow compared to the rapid movement of this 50-year-old rail system. According to Dan, our pilot, it had been built in secret by a group of loyal engineers and capable soldiers using the best available to wolfkind. “We had a wolf-born artificer at the time,” he explained. “Pup by the name of Silas Silverclaw. He had enough witch in him to charm any piece of metal between his paws, but was alpha enough to have a wolf and live as part of the pack. Kinda like that young witch, what’s his name, Patrick?” “Parris,” I corrected him. “Parris Abernathy.” The pilot nodded and continued his story, telling all who would listen about the labors involved in making this amazing contraption. With its co

    [Parris] My wolf’s voice fades and my eyes snap open. Nothing has changed about my situation except for my resolve. What do I have to lose? I’m either going to shift or I'm going to die. Either way, I’m going to make it worth the sacrifice. I was brought here to be a distraction. I guess it’s time to do my job–even if it isn’t in the way that was expected. “So what’s it going to be, Commander Paige?” Chancy demands, informing Prince Calyx of his choices. “Will you take the lead on this, or will I need to do the honors and explain to your father why he’s lost another son?”“Your lack of faith in my loyalty is heartbreaking, Commander,” Calyx states, replacing his barely masked horror at finding his reinforcements strapped to marble slabs with his usual cocky devil-may-care bravado. “Hand me the blade, Commander,” a faint smile of satisfaction curls his lips as he adds, “I’ll see this is done right.” The room is tense as everyone waits to see what Chancy will do next. Will he h

    [Parris–about 30 minutes ago]“So this is the wolf causing all the commotion,” Commander Sterling stood tall in his black fatigues, his sleeves rolled up to the elbow to show arms laced with deep scars. “What did you say his name was?”“Daniels,” the Brotherhood soldier reported, using the identity we had crafted back at the base with Calyx in case it came to this. “Marcus Daniels. Third Division. Level 2 Gamma. Trained in the special forces in Moon River City.” “Ah,” the old wolf tilted his head, eyeing me up and down, looking for signs of recognition. “Have you checked his credentials against the system?” “The name reads, but there isn’t any known ID on file with an updated picture. This was the best we could find.” The soldier handed his tablet to the commander. Chancy snorted. “What is this? A high school yearbook picture?” Then, looking at me, he asked, “Are you a ghost, soldier? Where is your Driver’s License? Your shifter level card? Your medical ID? Why are there no recent p

    [Amaryllis]All traces of the man who had only minutes before had been tending me with such love and care were gone as Calyx took a spot next to me. As we settle into our seats, the driver, a member of the Witch Force, leers back at me, eyeing me with a mixture of desire and disgust. Our eyes meet, and I can feel him scanning my mind, looking for something to prove I’m not what I say I am, that I’m not as meek as I pretend to be. But after having been abused by my uncle, forced many times to do things I regretted and wished I could race, I was good at disassociating and letting my mind fall blank. After a few minutes of intense eye contact, I feel his searching mind retreat as he sat back, satisfied.“Is there something wrong,” Calyx bristles, his tone as cold as winter. “We’re needed at the site. The spell must begin in…” he looks down at his watch, “...precisely 7 minutes. Otherwise, we’ll miss the window and will need to wait another 6 months. Do you want to explain that to Command
