The ride home is long, made longer because of the stress of how the tournament ended. Thankfully, Grace is feeling better, and Cara and Angel agreed they are as well. That, at least, isn’t something I need to worry about. Our injured pack members have mostly healed overnight. Those that haven’t will
The next morning, I was feeling much more like myself. When Eli and I went down to breakfast, I saw immediately what Noah meant about the ‘sprite situation’. Leilani and Lolana were….tall. They still glowed like sprites, but they are walking beside Alexander standing over five feet tall if I had to
“What the…?” Victoria says in awe. I have to agree. I knew they were forest sprites, but I didn’t know that meant the plants would respond to them like this. When they return to us, they are looking over the garden happily. “How did you do that?” Victoria asks them. “Plants are living things.”

When we park and exit our vehicles, we are greeted by my father’s mate. She is clutching my half-brother to her chest and has a fading bruise on her cheekbone. I’m familiar with the look of a woman’s face after my father’s beatings. I saw it on my mother’s face for over a year. I walk up to her, ca
My heart stops when I see Alpha Edgar stab Grace with a knife. I know she’s strong, but a knife wound is still serious. We could all tell that he had lost it. He looks and is acting like a crazed wolf. Even if we weren’t here for the challenge, he’d have to be put down. He’s a liability. When Grace
