In some ways, my quality of life improved after that night. Logan held true to his promise and rarely let me out of his sight. I attended meetings with him seated on his lap, where I started to learn this pack's politics and more about the surrounding world. I ate meals the same way. My stomach couldn't hold much yet, so Logan just loaded extra onto his plate and shared it with me, feeding me one careful bite at a time.

I was just happy to be getting full meals now. I wasn't going to risk upsetting him and losing my food privileges, so I wasn't about to complain.

One thing that I had not expected in the slightest was for Logan to begin teaching me. I had a very basic understanding of how to read and write, but my math was terrible. He helped me with these and also taught me history, which I greatly enjoyed. Surprisingly, he also began to teach me self-defense.

"So you can protect our pups." Logan had explained. Fortunately, the years I had spent tackling all of the manual labor around

    "Alpha Logan, Sir?" A small voice called, drawing both of our gazes to the child that approached."Adella," Logan greeted. "What can I do for you?"The little girl fidgeted with the hem of her dress looking nervous. "Mamma asked me to ask you… she said… Mamma wants to talk to you." She finished in a rush, pointing to a light blue cottage with white trim.Logan followed the child's pudgy finger and nodded, standing to offer me a hand up. "Shall we?" He asked.But Adella shook her head. "Not her." She said quickly. "It's a surprise.""Right then," Logan dropped his hand but smiled warmly at me. "I'll be right back, babe. Two minutes." He promised and kissed me quickly on the forehead before striding off with Adella.The smiling mask I wore slipped from my face as a feeling of foreboding settled over my shoulders like a thick wet quilt. Smothering.Something was going to happen, and it would not be good. All I could do was wait for it to find me.I didn't have to wait long before Leah ap

    Skye took a breath to steady his hand and brought the scalpel to my skin.“Are you sure?”“Just do it, Skye!” I didn’t mean to snap, but I was already fighting down my trauma, and I wanted this over with before Logan came back.“Okay, okay.” The blade bit into my abdomen, opening a trail of red across the orange iodine stained skin. The pain was familiar and helped me focus on my breathing.I had chosen this. This was my choice. That thought helped me settle my panic down further, so I kept repeating it to myself like a mantra. Sky made several more overlapping incisions. Each time, the scalpel dipped further and further into the bloody cave he was opening. He moved with precision, working quickly but deliberately, brows furrowed together in concentration.“Almost there.” He murmured.A trembling breath escaped my lungs in a soundless whimper. The emotional pain was worse than the physical pain. But this was why I had requested a hysterectomy. I couldn't keep doing this. As much as I

  • The Silverwolf   Now, What?

    I peeked out through my lashes at the yellow and very well lit room and groaned. "Well, well, it looks like my favorite patient is awake. How do you feel?" I tracked his voice to the chair next to the bed I lay on. Skye gave me a gentle, if not cautious, smile.“Why is…” I grimaced and licked my dry lips. “Why is my brain so fuzzy?”Skye's smile faltered. “What do you last remember, hon?”The tone of voice he used immediately put me on edge. “Why?”“Just… please.” His big hazel eyes searched my own, so I did as he asked.I furrowed my brows and hauled myself into a sitting position but then closed my eyes, trying to remember. The fuzz in my brain refused to budge, swirling around my thoughts like a lazy fog. I shook my head groggily, looking back up at Skye.“I can't think. My brain is too fuzzy.”The Healer pursed his lips and then spoke. “I had to sedate you.”My mouth popped open like a fish.“For your own safety.” He added quickly when my face morphed into a look of horror.

  • The Silverwolf   Solitude

    Skye kept me under observation for the remainder of the day. He had told Logan it was to make sure I didn't relapse, but I was pretty sure that he just said that so I could rest and have some peace and quiet.It was strange to be so alone outside of the basement after years of constant abuse. I had never really had free time. Never had me time. Logan had hardly let me out of his sight for the last seven months, and his presence had become stifling. So laying on the little cot in the dark, listening to the world turn around me and feeling the ripples of energy pass over and through me, I felt like I could breathe a little bit easier.Every so often, Skye came to check on me and bring me food. His energy was soothing, like chamomile tea with honey or lavender, I came to recognize it before he even knocked.But then worry started to creep into my mind. I had never had this much time to think and just be. What if they were plotting something? What if Logan and the Alpha were thinking of s

    The moon stared back at me, unblinking through the window as I lay trapped under Logan's arm. “Do you remember our first shift?” I asked Silver. “The freedom and joy we felt?” A wistful sigh escaped me. “I wish we could go back to that night. Back before any of this happened” But my wolf said nothing. She had never ignored me outright before. “Silver?” I called searching within myself for a trace of her strength and love. But all I found was darkness and the taste of metal. She was gone. “Logan.” I shook the arm draped over my waist. He mumbled something but didn't wake. “Logan!” I tried again, panic edging into my voice. This time, he stirred and blearily asked. “What is it? What's wrong?” “I can't feel her. I can't feel my wolf!” Tears poured from my eyes as I clutched his arm like a lifeline. “My soul is gone.” I had lost her. I had been so wrapped up in carrying on the pretenses of this relationship facade that I hadn't noticed my wolf slowly fading away. Now she

    Only to be woken again, not long after. I groaned, blinking my way to consciousness at a snail's pace. I shouldn't be so tired after having slept so much yesterday! “Come on, Silver, we need to talk to my father.” Logan shook my shoulder gently, trying to coax me into full wakefulness. My mind didn't want to connect to my body, so I felt like I was piloting a robot through a thick fog. Slowly, I moved my head off Logan's chest and sat upright rubbing my eyes. “You can go back to bed after this, baby.” Logan smoothed down my hair as he also sat up then pressed a kiss to my temple, and slid out of bed. The promise of being able to go back to sleep and the pressure of my bladder finally got me moving, though I still had trouble coordinating my limbs. I yawned, tossing the blankets off my legs and stumbling to the bathroom to pee. I didn't remember putting on the t-shirt that I wore, but I was grateful to be wearing something. I hated the way Logan's eyes trailed over my legs. I

  • The Silverwolf   Moon Bathing

    True to his word, Logan took me outside that night to sit in the moonlight. It felt electric, like sparks running down my spine, but also soothing. I laid out in the damp grass, letting the pale light play over as much of my skin as possible. A dreamy smile crossed my lips, and a sigh escaped my lungs. This really was magical. The Moon Mother was definitely smiling down on me as I gazed up at her. I couldn't remember the last time I had felt this good. I hadn't been allowed out into direct moonlight in years and only recently began to see her through Logan's bedroom window. She was beautiful. Though the dew laden grass soaked my clothes and the night was chilly, I didn't feel the slightest bit cold. It was like moonfire was bathing me in heat. Sadly, the perfect view of the mostly full moon, just barely beginning to wane, was suddenly blocked by Logan’s head as he leaned in and kissed me. It should have been romantic, a kiss under moonlight, but with his ulterior motive… I suppre

    It was another quiet, misty morning when, in the chill of the predawn air, I crept from the warmth of blankets beside Logan, intending to go for a run. I pried myself from the alpha's son's grasp and dropped lightly off the side of the bed, scuttling around to collect my discarded clothes like a thief in the night. He didn't stir, too exhausted from trying to put a pup in me. I was grateful that he slept so soundly. As swiftly as I could, I stripped out of my pj's and into a faded sweatshirt with matching pants and a pair of Silently, I crept from the room, avoiding the creaky floorboards that refused to be fixed. It was still dark out, but I had excellent night vision, so the thick surrounding blanket of shadow didn’t bother me. Making sure not to wake anyone, I snuck downstairs and outside, easing the door closed behind me. I had nearly an hour before the dawn patrol ran circuit. Plenty of time. Breathing in the cool air, I felt full of life and energy. The scent of rain that had

  • The Silverwolf   Too Cold

    When my vision finally shifted back into regular sight, the forest had already begun to thin. I stumbled, but only for a moment. With less to distract me, I ran even harder.More howls sprung up out of the night, but they were further away now and seemed to be veering north and away from us.Had our watcher led them away?I shook my head and focused on the slope ahead. Soon, we started up towards the towering ice spires. Boulder fields where in the spring marmots might have screamed at us gave way to steep slopes of unreliable frozen shale that bit into my paws.Occasionally, the shale would shift and send me sliding on my stomach several paces down the incline. As soon as we stopped moving, I got back up and continued on our way. It was no longer safe to run, but I trudged on as quickly as I dared.Finally, my weary paws met snow. At first, it was only a few inches, but as I walked, the snow grew deeper. I spread my toes, trying to stay atop the ice crust, but every few paces, one p

    Skye opened his eyes and carefully lifted his head, peering around us into the night.“What's out there?” He asked in a whisper.“I don't know.” I replied. “The silence woke me. It could be anything. Mountain lion, one of the Shaded Paws Pack, even…” Icy dread seeped into my veins, and I shivered.“Even what?” Skye pressed closer to my side.“Lykaon.” The word crept from my thoughts as if even thinking about the cursed being would summon it from the shadows.Skye looked at me from the corner of his eye. “Like that king in mythology who served his son to the gods and was punished?”Now, it was my turn to look carefully at him. “You know about the curse?” Surprise colored my words.“Wait… what curse? I just took a mythology class once.”I suppressed a snort. Of course, there was some overlap. Hell, werewolves were mythology to most humans.“It's likely the same source. We can ask when we get home. All I know is that if we knowingly kill a member of our family, we get cursed to live in a

  • The Silverwolf   Disturbance

    By the end of the next day, the mountain range loomed before us and my home was somewhere on the other side. Maybe some smell tickled the back of my mind or maybe the moon Mother was still guiding us. I wasn't sure how I knew where home was, but I knew. “That's going to be a bitch to get over.” I grumbled mentally. "Depending on how fast we cross and how much we eat beforehand," Skye jumped down off my back, reaching both arms up to crack his spine. "It shouldn't be too bad." He smiled and headed behind a maple tree to remove his clothes and don his fur in place of skin. I wondered briefly if he was self conscious of his scars or just shy and didn't want me to see him naked. I knew that humans likely had different views of nudity but I wasn't entirely sure what those views were. Maybe I'd ask Skye some time. While I waited for the Healer, I occupied myself by making a nest in the ferns, circling to trample them flat. I hoped we weren't too much farther from home. The longin

  • The Silverwolf   First Kill

    A startled deer bolted across my path and I gave chase, momentarily forgetting about Skye on my back. She swerved around trees and jumped fallen logs, nimble legs drumming pointed hooves into the dirt as she fled, but I was hot on her heels chasing the uplifted white flag of her tail. The deer was fast, but I was born for the hunt, designed by nature to pursue prey over vast miles, so it didn’t take long for me to snag an ankle and drag the doe to the ground. Soon I had my jaws clamped around her throat, hot blood filling my mouth, rich and full of life. It promised meat that would sedate the growing hunger in my belly. I could taste the doe's pulse fluttering on my tongue. She kicked frantically, trying to escape, trying to survive. But I was also trying to survive. With a quick twist of my head and a crunch of my jaws, I broke the doe's neck ending her life. She was a beautiful creature in the prime of her life. Strong and sleek with wide brown eyes that stared back at me in

  • The Silverwolf   Never Apologize For Feeling

    A fearful yip tore from me as I felt Skye move but instead of falling away from me, he began to climb. Hand over hand he pulled himself up my body, his shoes digging uncomfortably into my ribs. I just had to hold on until he reached the top but the flailing limbs made the task exceedingly difficult. One foot landed in my eye making me yelp and then he was gone, rolling away from the edge. He had made it. I shed my fur and sunk my fingers into the ferns anchoring myself to the earth. I wasn't strong enough to pull myself up right now but I wasn't in danger of falling to my death for the time being. Behind me at the far side of the crevasse, yips and barks of terror filled the air as our persuitors clamored their way for the safety of solid ground. Fading howls told me that several had fallen. “Skye?” I called. I couldn't see him over the ferns I clung to. I couldn't see anything past the arching fronds. Had he left me? No, he wouldn't do that. Would he? “Skye!” “I'm here! I'

  • The Silverwolf   None Left Behind

    I found myself cradled to Skye's warm chest instead of falling to my doom as he shuffled along the fallen giant. The Healer kept his weight balanced and low, moving with slow deliberation so as to not stress the fracture that I had made. “What…?” Was all I could manage through the tears as I looked up at the taller male. “You carried me this far. I can carry you across one stupid ravine.” Skye's jaw was set in pain, and I didn't need his gift to know that his left arm was causing him tremendous pain with every subtle movement. Over his shoulder, the three pursuing wolves were gaining on us, and more had begun to clamber up the gnarled exposed root ball of the old Fir. We weren't going to reach the other side. “You have to leave me, Skye.” I begged, tugging on the front of his shirt like a child. “You can make it out of here, but not like this. Not with me weighing you down.” “Shut up.” Skye growled and clutched me tighter. “I'm not leaving you.” “But-” “God dammit, Ken

  • The Silverwolf   The Path

    I could see the path weaving through the trees, laid out before me like a silver glowing ribbon. The moon's pale light gave my tired body enough strength to dart beyond the jaws snapping in my wake.I ran as I had never run before, still breathing hard but no longer feeling faint.The pure terror that had gripped me lessened its chokehold as the fluttering of Hope began to unfurl in my chest, yearning to take flight. The Moon Mother was with us. She was guiding us to freedom. She was guiding us…To a chasm!The path before us clearly led to a wide yawning mouth in the earth from which the sound of rushing water assaulted my ears.But there! The path led over the rift by way of a decaying Fir tree. It would be extremely risky, but the Goddess was on my side. She had led us here. So we had to make it, right?“Oh fuck!” Skye whimpered, barely audible over the blood rushing in my ears and the river roaring from its bed. “No, no. Kendra, no!”But my paws had already hit the gertiatric log

  • The Silverwolf   Run

    The Healer and I mirrored each other as our heads whipped to face the speaker, identical expressions of horror marring our features. There in the open doorway stood Alpha Greyson, and he was pissed. I could only imagine how much of our conversation he had overheard since I was so engrossed in storytelling that I hadn't heard, or even sensed, his approach. Dread settled in my stomach like a ball of iron and turned my knees to jelly. How could I have been so careless? I was usually so alert! “Fuck.” The word spilled from my mouth and cracked through the still air like a whip. This was exactly the kind of thing that I was hoping to avoid. Greyson growled low in his throat, expecting me to drop my gaze and show my belly like a good little submissive wolf, like the weak pathetic thing he had tried to make me. “No time to pack, Skye. We go, now.” I growled back at Greyson and shifted. I quickly realized that not taking my clothes off before shifting was a huge mistake as the fa

    Skye gestured for me to follow him from the office to a small adjoining room that held a sink in the corner. “Thanks.” I gave my hands a hasty scrub with the antibacterial soap under some very hot water. When a quick sniff check confirmed that I had gotten all of the plant juice off my fingers, I sighed and dried my hands on my shirt, leaving dark smudges on the gray fabric. “Okay, well, if we're going to be leaving soon, we should probably start making a plan and packing supplies.” Skye mused. He folded one arm across his chest, tucking that hand in the elbow of his adjacent arm while tapping his chin with the other hand. His hazel eyes sought the ceiling in thought. “Do you know how long we'll be traveling?” He asked, turning his gaze to meet mine briefly. I shook my head, and he hummed. “We won't need a tent or sleeping bags since we can sleep in our fur. I won't be able to run on four legs, so stealth will have to be our prerogative.” “My wolf should be big enough for you t
