It seemed to be only moments after I was wrapped in peaceful sleep that I found myself once again greeted by the blinding light of Selene. As used to it as I was getting, I still resented every interruption of my sleep. It wasn’t that she was really stealing sleep from me but rather that I couldn’t avoid it and was brought here each night against my own will.

The Midnight Child Prologue
The night was still with the blood moon shinning bright in the sky. Alpha Hardin and Luna Sky of the Midnight pack stood together looking down at their little baby girl as she slept, with love filling their eyes. This was not to be just any girl. She was to be far greater than any wolf could imagine and she had come from them. Months before her birth, the nearby witch coven had foretold that an amazing future was in store for their soon to be born child. At that time, no one imaged it would be a girl or the amount of strength she would have at birth. With hostile packs known to be lurking on their borders, all those that knew of the prophecy were sworn to secrecy in hopes of protecting the child. Unfortunately, every secret has loose ends and word spread across the country. Every pack began to hear of the incredible child that had recently been born into the Midnight pack, placing the pack on high alert. Nine months passed and it seemed as though tension with other packs was startin

After training, my level of exhaustion had skyrocketed. I had spent my life in excellent physical shape but I was beginning to realize I wasn’t in top shape for magic. It would be some time before I would be able to fully control it.The only positive of training was that I finally got to see Kent. Knowing that I would be too strong for his other pack members, Kent and I trained together. Having my energy drained from magic gave Kent an edge allowing him to take me down over and over. Normally I would have been upset, but having him overpower me was starting to make me feel something I’d never felt before. Every time he slammed my body to the ground, I felt a small twinge between my legs and my breath catch. I couldn’t keep from thinking of seeing Kent shirtless and imaging him in bed. I was sure it was just the mate bond pushing the images into my head but still it threw me off balance more and more allowing Kent the upper hand.After training was

After a quick meal and thanking Dana, I found myself knocking on my makeshift class room door. Richard reply was immediate.“Come in.”Once again he was perched on the edge of his desk with his eyes focused on a book. He barely looked up as I took my seat and waited. After a few minutes, Richard finally peeled his eyes from the pages and focused them on me.“We shall start with your school work again for the first four hours, one hour for our history and then I have arranged for us to have a private lesson in the training center. This will be our schedule from here on out and Kent has asked that you also join in his training class on Tuesdays and Thursdays after our own.”I nodded in agreement and we dove into my basic class work. Four hours passed by quickly and finally we began on the history of werewolves.“Did you find out anything new?” Richard asked with anticipation.“Not as much as I would like and still

I longed for a peaceful night’s sleep, time to relax and recharge for the crazy weekend. I hoped in vain knowing life had more than just sleep in store for me. It seemed as though I had just drifted to off when I was met with the blinding light that I was beginning to associate with Selene's presence. All I wanted was to return to Kent but again even in my sleep my life wasn’t mine to control.“Hey,” I said yawning as Selene approached me.Her smile was a little reproachful as she replied with a proper “Hello.”“So what’s the goal for tonight?”“You will learn to split your attention to protect yourself and others. Have you practiced at all?”I wasn’t sure why she was asking. Even her tone seemed to suggest that she knew I hadn’t. Still I explained mine and Richard’s intentions to set up time for practice in the training gym the following afternoon. Thinking of Richard, I tri

When we finally got back in Kent’s house, we found his sister making herself at home on the couch.“Hey, you sent Bryce out of town so I'm sleeping over. What’s for dinner?” Alice said with a large smile plastered on her face.“Really Alice, you can’t survive one night alone?” Kent responded in a playful tone.“Well, I could but where’s the fun in that.” She finished by throwing a pillow at an unsuspecting Kent who let out a startled laugh.“I see your mate finally decided to move in.” She continued looking right at me. I could feel my cheeks pale. “Oh relax, I'm the only one that knows. I know my brother better than anyone, I knew the second I saw him looking at you during training.”I was shocked but thinking maybe it would be nice to have someone else to talk to about everything.“Alice, she isn’t here because she’s my mate.”“Doesn&

I was surprised when, instead of leading me through the same hidden door towards the endless hall, Kent turned to the wall in the back of the living room. It took a second but right before he reached for it, I saw the same oval outline that I had before. I remembered Kent had told me there were more secret passageways so I figured this was just leading to another unseen section of his house. It didn’t. This door was much more intense that the first. Before sliding open, a number of locks could be heard turning and once it did, thick steel bars could be seen within the foot wide door. On the other side, was the yard leading to the training center we had gone to a few days before. Thinking back, it seemed like it was weeks ago not merely three days.We walked out into the yard but instead of heading towards the door we had gone to before, we headed to a different door at the far end of the building. The door lead to a room with a single long table surrounded by at least thirty chai

Richard and I spent hours going over my school subjects, mostly just giving him an idea where I was in each subject. Unsurprisingly, he seemed well educated in all areas and was a great help. It was different learning one on one as opposed to in a classroom. I noticed I was able to focus more and was absorbing more of what he was saying. After we covered all subjects, we started in on werewolf history.I had received a brief intro yesterday but I was sure there was still far more for me to learn. We started with Richard asking me about the history lesson Selene had given me. He asked if I knew the names of any of the original werewolves or any of the men that attacked the coven. Sadly, Selene hadn’t mentioned any names but I made a note to ask her next time she invaded my dreams. From there, Richard started with the earliest history he knew.His lesson dated back to King Arthur times, and was about King Arthur himself.“Our records show that there was never a King Arthur bu

I could see the sunlight filling the room even through my closed eyelids. I had no desire to wake up, but daylight was reminding me that the day was waiting. Slowly, I opened my eyes and took in my environment. It was a second before I remembered where I was and finally why. Remembering Kent’s warmth, I looked beside me. The place that had once held his body lay empty and I felt a small sinking in my heart. As much as I tried to deny it, I missed him and wanted him to be here.Grudgingly, I got up from the bed and walked to the dresser Kent had rummaged through to get pjs for me. I opened every drawer finding a lot of jeans and t-shirts that all appeared to be in my size. I found one whole drawer full of undergarments. Most of the underwear was basic boy shorts but a few were lacey little things that brought a small blush to my face. I never bought my self anything like that knowing I had no one to wear it for. Now the idea of wearing these delicate materials in front of Ke

I was a mess on the way back to Kent’s house. I sat in the passenger seat with tears running down my face barely making a noise. It had been the longest day of my life and my mind couldn’t seem to process it all. Since the time I woke up today my whole world had been going crazy and now here I sat, leaving my home and family behind.Kent seemed to sense that I wasn’t in the mood to talk but made a point to wrap his hand around mine giving me at least one point of comfort. The instant I felt his skin touch mine, I knew it was exactly what I needed to keep my world together. I needed to know I wasn’t alone even though I had just left everyone I loved most behind me. The drive seemed to last forever, my mind going over the days events, seeing the look on my parents face when I told them I was leaving. Even thinking of Seth and April, my two best friends, brought my sharp jabs of pain. An eternity later, we finally pulled into Kent’s garage.As much as I wanted to just go to
