PhoenixSolid black hair, bright blue eyes, the perfect soft circle face. I can’t stop thinking about her. The beautiful siren who saved my life.I’m the last person on this earth that deserves to be saved. I have wrecked more havoc than anyone all due to the curse that the moon goddess inflicted on me.I don’t deserve this curse. It’s not my fault my father was a monster.I do what I can not to hurt anyone, but I got separated from the pack and attacked by some rogues. Everything else is just a vague memory. I don't even know how I got injured! All I know is that I thought for sure I was meeting my end, but then this woman brought me back. I have to find her.But for now, I walk back home. I walk into the Black Night Pack and the pack members see that my hands are bare and they turn away from me, pretending not to know who I am. I huff as I get to the pack house and use my shoulder to push the door open. My twin sister, Beatrix, looks over at me and stands up and walks to a side tab
MagnoliaOver the next month my dad has been preparing for me to take over as Alpha. I still have 1 month left till my birthday, but my dad has always raised me to know that I would be the leader of the Renegade Pack and doesn’t plan to wait for me to meet my mate to give me the title.It’s exciting, but it’s unheard of in our world. I have never heard or seen a female Alpha. I’ll be the first one, it’s nerve-racking, but exciting. The one thing that does bring me peace about the whole Henry situation is that… if he is my mate I already know he’ll support me, he will want me to continue to be an active leader in our pack, and he will be fantastic.The thought of Henry sends butterflies roaring through my stomach. Lately, we’ve both been so involved in our training, me to be a female Alpha, and him to be the next Beta, that we haven’t spent much time together.On top of that, I’ve been very busy with Violet. She’s jumped into our pack head first, but she has a lot to learn on the rule
VioletThis past month has been… different.It’s weird getting adjusted to living in a pack. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just weird. I’ve gotten into a schedule, I have two trainings a day one for my human side and one for my wolf. I practice magic on my own thanks to the book that Cora gave me and I shadow Magnolia randomly throughout the day.It’s been good for us, it’s helping us create the bond that Cora wanted for us. By the time Magnolia gets her wolf we may be able to achieve our full potential as the white wolf and guardian wolf. I don’t know exactly what that may be, but I’m excited knowing how well we work together.I feel like I’m apart of a family. I’ve felt so numb since my parents died and although I know that Cora tried her best, it’s not the same as the life I have now with the Renegade Pack. This is the life I was meant to have. I was meant to be apart of a pack, just like my dad. Truly, I was meant to be an Alpha, but that is not my fate anymore.I sit in the living r
MagnoliaSilence falls over the group from my dad’s announcement. I know that for the adults they are all remembering what happened to the Moon Stone Pack and they want to prevent that from happening to us. The one good thing is that no one knows that Penelope Fox and my mother, Amelia, were related.There’s no reason for the Black’s to target us. They must genuinely want an alliance.After a few moments of silence, Violet stands up and walks away. It doesn’t take long for everyone else to break out into conversation. Although, I should probably stay and listen, my gut is telling me to follow Violet and I always trust my gut. I move to go after Violet, but Henry grabs my arm.My eyebrows crinkle in confusion as I turn back to face him. His dirty blonde hair is getting long and strange fall over his eyebrows almost covering his honey brown eyes, he brings me out of my admiration for his looks as he says in a low voice, “Maybe you should give her a minute. This must be overwhelming.”Hi
VioletDamn it.Magnolia had to make me promise not to kill Xavier during this trip. This trip was going to be the perfect time to catch him off guard, I know it!I promised not to kill him during this trip, but I never said anything about not watching him. I will watch the pack from afar. I will learn his weaknesses and when the time comes I will destroy him the same way that he destroyed my family.I lie in the bed as I wait for Magnolia to come back but before she comes back in the room, I have drifted off into a deep sleep. When I wake up, Magnolia has already left and the side of the bed she slept on is still just a little warm. I breathe out as I lie on my back and look up at the ceiling. I don’t know how I’m supposed to act today. Should I pretend like everything is okay? My mind is whirling with this visit and I’m sure everyone around me will feel he same way. I huff as I push myself out of bed, I need to run and get out my excess energy. Selene is on edge and perks up at the
MagnoliaThe Black Night Pack will be coming this weekend.It was hard not to let guilt overwhelm me. Violet already left to Cora’s house, we wanted to make sure there was no chance of Xavier catching her scent.We don’t know if Xavier knows of her existence. We assume that he does, but it doesn’t look like he cared to keep hunting her after he got Uncle Donovan and Aunt Penelope. Was it because he got what he wanted with Aunt Penelope? Or because he didn’t know about Violet?I continue to run along the trails. This is how I’ve been getting rid of all my anxious energy. I hear the branches rustle as I run past them and out of nowhere, Henry appears by my side. I’m lost in a daze though and I don’t say a word as I continue on down the trail. He keeps up with me, he doesn’t say a word as he jogs along side me.At this point, I’m not sure when he appeared and whether or not I should greet him. I continue on until I see the pack house some into view and at that moment Henry grabbed my arm
MagnoliaThe anxious pit in my stomach won’t go away. I lie in my bed staring at the ceiling knowing that soon I’ll need to get up and get ready. The Black Night Pack will be here before we know it and I need to be the best host I can be.Even though I am not the Alpha yet, it’s still my duty because they’re coming here to talk to me. To make some type of alliance with me. Beatrix Black is not her father and I cannot and will not judge her over the heinous acts that her father committed. I breathe out and hear a light knock on the door. I turn towards the door to see my mom peek her head through. She smiles softly at me and asks, “How are you feeling, pumpkin?”I say, “Uneasy, I don’t know what to expect.”She walks in, closing the door behind her and joining me on the bed and says, “You’re not the only one, kid. Your dad is anxious about Xavier being here. We all know the kind of man he is and the things he’s done. It’s hard not to attack when it seems like their guard will be down.
HenryMy family stands a few feet behind the Knights as we watch Alpha Maven, Luna Amelia, and Magnolia. Magnolia looks stunning, like a true leader.We watch as Xavier Black comes out of his car and his eyes immediately survey the area like he’s checking for any immediate threats. His daughter walks up behind him and I don’t know what I was expecting from Beatrix Black, but it’s not what I saw.Her hair is black and is in a high ponytail, she wears a studded head band, her outfit is simple, a black graphic tee with a popular band on the front along with a pair of jeans. She doesn’t look like she cares about impressing anyone and she doesn’t look ready to lead a pack.Her eyes flicker to her father’s back, but he doesn’t introduce himself or her. Her lips part as she breathes out and then she seems to know what she needs to do. She takes a step toward the Alpha’s family and says, “Hi, I am Beatrix Black and I appreciate you welcoming us into your pack and your home over these next cou
Five Months Later.QuirinaBryce and I officially became the Alpha and Female Alpha of the Moon Stone Pack three months ago. Annabelle and Franklin became our Beta couple, Hiro and Hazel became our Gamma couple, and Rowan and Winnie are enjoying not having as many responsibilities.All the issues we previously had with Hazel completely disappeared when she finally accepted Hiro as her mate. Because when he marked her, he was able to take away her gift. He holds her power and give it back to her if she ever wants it, but she seems thrilled about no longer seeing when people will die.Mom and dad still live at the pack house, but they are enjoying no longer being in charge and getting to fully focus on Felicity. I don’t know if they’ll ever go anywhere without her again because she has struggled with separation anxiety ever since they returned home.My biological parents have come to visit me and to meet the rest of my family. I talk with them at least 3 times a week, they are perfectly
QuirinaBryce, Charlie, and Harper and I headed home after only two days after the fight. There weren’t many survivors left that were a part of the trafficking ring, but there were tons of kids in the school. My parents along with Magnolia and Hendrix are meeting up with other pack leaders and trying to split up the rest of the people appropriately. There will be no more Supernatural Academy and no more trafficking.I mean, we know it’s impossible to completely abolish all trafficking, but we have done our part and this has helped to take down a huge contributor. I’m ready to be back home, the desire to be some place familiar and to unwind after all the recent events. Bryce had marked me, but I still haven’t marked him, it hasn’t felt right. He’s practically buzzing and glowing with some energy he has now. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know he received some of the powers that I absorbed.I haven’t even discovered everything I absorbed in that moment. I was so desperate to be
BryceThe door opened and we had been expecting more guards or for more prisoners. But now, Phoenix Stone walks into the room.All the guards that had been sitting without a care in the world suddenly stand at attention. I watch in fascination as dark black swirls crawl up Phoenix’s arms and he smirks, “If I were you, I would lock yourself in one of the cages. Or else I’ll make you crumble like the rest of them.”Most of the guards seemed concerned as soon as he said that. Everyone has heard of what Alpha Stone is capable of, and everyone knows that he would do anything for his family and for the legacy he had created. But there’s a couple of guards who doubt him. And one asks, “What do you mean by the rest of them?”Phoenix gives the most wicked smile I’ve ever seen, it’s almost bone-chilling in it’s ruthlessness as he says, “You would not be my first death of day. Now, I will count to five and whoever is out of the cells, well… we’ll get to have some fun.”After that announcement p
QuirinaI think most people would find it odd if I told them that I actually thrive off of chaos. But the moment that I zapped the cameras and everything went down, I took off running. I could hear the whole mansion as it descended into chaos. Everyone complaining, trying to keep guard of their current prisoners, and trying too figure out what the hell happened to me.I can’t help but smirk to myself as I run. I don’t know where I’m going or what exactly I’m doing, but I’ve caused enough chaos that I have time to search without instantly getting caught. I find a stairwell and run down it as fast as my legs can carry me. The first door I see on my right, I open to turn into only to be instantly met by a group of five warriors. I close the door back and take off running back down the stairs, I hear them behind me. Fear is gripping my heart now as I am more panicked than before.I enjoy chaos, but I don’t enjoy the adrenaline that comes with it. It makes me struggle to think clearly and
QuirinaI have to get out. I have to find help. I don’t know what I’m going to do… they’ll figure it out as soon as I leave the mansion and then I’ll be captured before I get anywhere close to the pack borders.My mind is reeling as I rush from one room to the next hopefully getting further from the danger but honestly who knows? I’m running on instinct here.I need to find my family, all of them. Because regardless if we’re blood related or not, we are all family. I try to reach out through the mind link but I huff in frustration as I realize no one is connecting with me.I let out a low grumble and then focus on my surroundings. I haven’t found a single room with a window for me to look outside, I haven’t run into anyone. This is a little too suspicious, wouldn’t there be a lot of people looking for me? My eyes flicker around the room, trying to uncover some answer that I haven’t been able to figure out yet. And my body tenses when I figure out the reason. There’s a camera, it’s sm
QuirinaThe room is too quiet, too cold, too… unnerving.The headmaster looks at me, I’m currently cursing myself for not asking his name. The fact that he knows mine but I don’t know his makes me uneasy. He smiles at me and says, “I don’t know where your parents are, Ms. Stone.”I narrow my eyes at him and spit out, “Liar.”The corner of his mouth twitches up in an amused smirk, like he is enjoying knowing that he is able to get a rise out of me. I want to punch him in the face for it.He gestures towards the chair and says, “Please, take a seat, let us talk like adults.” The way he speaks to me is patronizing, my hands ball up into fists out of frustration. His hazel eyes flicker down to my hands before looking up at me and he says, “I assume you would want to do things properly considering you are about to take the Alpha position. You don’t want to start off with a bad reputation.”I snap at him, “I think you and I both know that my reputation doesn’t matter. It already isn’t in st
BryceI follow behind everyone as we go into the mysterious Supernatural Academy. I’ve heard so much about this place and yet… I don’t know what to think now that I’m here.Quirina is obviously tense and on high alert. She’s towards the front of the group and a small part of me feels uncomfortable with how far apart we are, but I know it’s for the best for her to be towards the front.We come across a mansion like building and Beta Charlie breathes out, “Welcome to the Academy headquarters.”Quirina look to him and looks around, “The headquarters? Not the building where all the students are kept?”He shakes his head no and explains, “This is for staff to live at when they don’t have a rotation at the school. Gives them a chance to be away from the students.”She nods her head, but I notice her deep furrowed brow, something isn’t sitting right with her. It’s moments like these that I wish we had already marked and mated one another because I would love to know what she’s thinking about
QuirinaThe plane ride was quiet, neither Bryce nor I spoke as we flew to my parents. The entire time he held my hand, letting me know that he is here for me if and when I choose to talk.I don’t want to talk. I want to get there now and make sure that they’re okay. When the plane lands Bryce just gives me a tight-lipped smile. I thank the pilot and we get off. Bryce asks me, “So, how do we get there?”I smile softly, “Leave that to me.”At that moment a car pulls up and an older man comes out and says, “A pleasure to see you, Ms. Stone, Mr. Lake.”I nod at the valet and both Bryce and I get in the car and it takes off in the direction I need it to. I know that we will have to walk a bit later, but for now I just lean my head on Bryce’s shoulder and enjoy the ride. He looks out the window, watching as the world passes on around us. I sit up when the valet asks, “Are you here to meet up with the rest of them?”I frown, “Who?”This causes him to frown and he remarks, “The other ones fro
VioletWe’ve been at the Academy for just over a month now.I was right, there was something fishy going on here.They never quit with their antics. All this time, all these years, I thought we had gotten control of the human trafficking, I thought we had ended it! Only to find out that for the most part we did, but for the kids who show potential to be strong they are never put as available for adoption.Quirina was an exception because they couldn’t figure out to control her, but because she was so powerful they thought her brother would be to. So, they kept her brother’s identity from us so that way if he showed potential they would be able to sell him. My fists ball in frustration, I should’ve known. It was too good to be true. But because we found out about it and they found out we found out, now we’re trapped. We’ve been separated for two weeks now, I have no idea what they’ve done to Phoenix, but it makes me worried. Ever since we met, we’ve never been separated for this long.
