I couldn’t sleep.Damian was snoring next to me but I could not, for the life of me, fall asleep. Something felt off…Something was wrong and I hate this feeling. Not knowing why I feel this way, what is so wrong that my body won’t let me sleep?And then I heard it.Wolf howls and loud ones. Brock had come for his brother and he wasn’t alone.I knew he would come back for him but why was this one making me feel uneasy? Could he have an ace up his sleeve? Not much can be done to me but why was I feeling like this?Damian woke to the sound of the howls, looking at me all confused before it clicked in his head what was going on. “Are you ready?” I ask him.Damian gets out of bed, putting on a pair of sweatpants, and nods his head. He needed this fight to get his people back, to show them he was not his parents and that his heart was always in the right place.“I will get Aaron, you rally up your fighters,” I say, leaving the room to get to the basement.“Scared yet?” Aaron asks me as I
In a desperate moment, fear has taken deep root within me and I decided to use Damian as my inspiration. For the love he has for his pack, in trying to prevent a big loss within the pack, I channel my dark powers differently, weaving a protective barrier around Damian. The three wolves, guided by unseen forces, are gently repelled before reaching him and sent flying to a distance. Damian, momentarily confused, notices the mystical shield surrounding him and quickly notices the three wolves a few feet away from him.He recognizes them. Using my powers, I communicate with him telepathically. "Damian, trust me. I'll keep you safe. Focus on Aaron, and let me handle this."With newfound determination, I redirect my attention to Brock. "You want a fair fight, Brock? Let's do this differently." I summon a soft, glowing light, enveloping both of us in a magical field that nullifies physical harm. "Now we fight with our claws," I suggest, ensuring a non-lethal confrontation. Brock, still fr
Every year since I was a baby, we have been moving from pack to pack. Sometimes we would stay for only a few months but never more than a year because our lives were in danger. My kind was being hunted down for being different. I'm a werewolf, yes. My father, my mother and I have the ability to shift in to wolves but there's something else. We are the healer pack. In our pack, every wolf was born with special powers to heal and once the pup turns 13 and shifts for the first time, they are sent for training until they reach the age of 16 before being placed in a new pack to be a healer. Now, my pack was attacked. By who? We don't know yet but the aim was to kill us all. My father, the alpha, tried to get as many healers as possible but many lives were lost. The thing is, we can use our powers to do harm but my father, the alpha is against it. So instead, the warriors trained to guard us tried to fend off as many attackers as p
A bomb.A man came to the house with a bomb strapped on his chest. Demanded my mother call my dad to the house or there would be another man, like him pay the hospital a visit.The man also demanded my mother call me from school or another man would come to the school and blow up the place. My mother called me because in true healer style, we always sacrifice ourselves for others. Lucky for me, I was just rejected by Damian and I was on the floor of the boy's bathroom, crying for goddess knows how long. My dad answered obviously because he has a heavily pregnant mate. My mother could've mind linked me but she didn't, she didn't link any of us because she wanted to keep us alive, hoping and praying that we wouldn't answer the phone but my father did and he was also dead.When he got to the door, the house blew up. Xena tells me there were other bodies that sacrificed themselves to end my family. My mother ran for cover in
"How long have I been out?" I ask Carla.Carla was rocking Justin on the rocking chair. It was night time and the last thing I remember is bathing while watching Carla hold Justin."For a week. It's amazing what the body can do and quite amazing what you can do. Watching your wolf exit your body is something from a fairytale. I've never heard of such a thing." Carla says to me."Yeah lucky she could go hunt while I was out. Although now that she's not inside me, I could do with some food. Is there anything to eat?" I ask and Carla quickly stands, giving Justin to me."I'll quickly make you something." She says and I smile back at her.Carla opens the door to reveal Damian, who looked worse for wear. It looked like he hasn't slept in days and Carla was not surprised to see
It's been weeks.I have trashed this house beyond recognition, screamed my lungs out and fought anyone that walked in through the front or back door if they didn't walk in with my baby brother.The Luna had a broken arm but I'm sure it has healed by now. Damian, well he took a few punches. I'm not even sure where I didn't hit him.Of course I'm smart enough to know that even in anger, I could never take on the alpha. That's just disrespectful and I didn't attack Darlene, she tried to comfort me and I pushed her away, forgetting my own strength.She flew across the room and landed on her right arm. I mumbled an apology once and she brushed it off but she was clearly in pain.After some time, the Rivers
"So, when will you be visiting Justin dear?" Darlene asks me as she ignores her own mate. Serving me tea but not her love, I felt bad.I wanted to hand my cup over to him but everyone knows it's best to stay out of a lovers quarrel, especially the alphas."I... I spoke to Carla earlier and she said I can visit tomorrow. I've missed him." I say, looking at the both of them as they try to hide the obvious tension strangling each of us in this room.Could they breath? I couldn't."That's wonderful news. I'm glad you came to understand why I did what I did. You must know, I feel terrible for failing your parents and I had to do this so they can rest in peace." Doug says to me. I nod my head in understanding."I get it now. It would be selfish of me to stand in the way of my b
"I need you to be alpha." I blurt out immediately after Damian closes the door.He stays quiet, looking at me."Your cousin can't be alpha because he will just take me as one of his concubines. I can't have that and you can't allow that!" I say, hugging myself.Stories of my kind being used as sex slaves are never ending. I had vowed to myself that it would never be me but now that I had met a man that could potentially put me in that position, the fear was creeping in."I know. I saw the way he looked at you." Damian answers me. "You need furniture.." Damian says smiling but I don't smile back. "So? Will you quit the dream of going to college and save me from being that boy's slave?" I ask. Damian looks at me grimly."I have no intention in being forced to take ove
