“I have Jennivah for you.” Cynthia’s voice echoed through the intercom.
“Put her through, please.”
“No, ma’am. I mean she’s here. To see you.”
“I thought she was going to call.”
“Apparently not, ma’am.”
I glanced at the clock, closing my laptop and lowering my reading glasses. “Send her in.”
“Yes ma’am.”
A moment later, Cynthia opened

Perrin The last two days had passed in an exhaustive, emotionally void state. I felt like everything I did was just going through the motions. My sleep had been restless. My dreams, if any, had been plagued with angry, stormy skies filled with blood red and violent purple lightning. My sole focus and drive was training. I didn’t do anything but push my body beyond exhaustion. I was up before the sun, putting in ten miles. I hit weights by myself for a couple of hour before the first challenger even parked at the Lodge. And after each workout, I ate minimally. I wasn’t hungry despite the workouts. I was just doing it to keep myself going until the next physical push. Food had no taste. I barely remember being able to keep anything down. I had been running on pure adrenaline. Running away from the weight of the pain that would hit me if I let myself slow down for even ju

PerrinSomewhat numbly, I followed Lo into the clearing. Deidre was going to have a final say on the article? My empty stomach rumbled uneasily. It didn’t seem right, but there wasn’t time to deal with that now. I made a mental note to stop by Deidre’s office--or at least try to talk to Cynthia when I got off duty. There was no need to keep the charade going. If anything, I wanted it to stop.“Alright everyone.” I heard Janas call near the lockers. Lo has already approached Janas. Oddly, she was speaking quite animatedly.I headed to the locker to hang up my belongings.“Hey Perrin.”“Hey Kira.” Her voice was slightly higher than usual. I closed my locker door and leaned against it,

A year ago, Chiyad PackLo“He’s here!”I rolled my eyes, adjusting my dress. My mother was practically squealing she was so excited. “Calm down!” I shouted, dabbing on some mascara.“How can I? What’s his name? You’ve barely told me anything about him!”“There’s a reason for that,” I teased, calling down the stairs from my room.“Are you going to introduce me?”“No, not tonight. If there’s a second date, maybe. But… definitely not tonight.”“Right right… gotta play it cool. Li

A year ago, Chiyad PackLo“Hey mom, I’m home.” Justin had dropped me off once again with another chaste goodbye kiss on my hand.I was beginning to think he was gay and this was just a friendship. We had a great time together, and it was really fun to hang out. But maybe I was reading this all wrong?No. That couldn’t be it. He had asked me to be his girlfriend.Wait. Was he using me as a beard?No. Get it together.“Hi darling.”I stepped into my mom’s office where she was busy on her computer.“Did you

A year ago, Chiyad PackLo“So, how’s it been going?” Gia sipped her smoothie, anticipation written all over her face.“Honestly?” I asked.“Obviously.”“Incredible.” I replied, glowing. “The last two months have been… just. Amazing.”Gia squealed with excitement. “Tell me more!”I haven't seen Gia much lately. She’d been busy on her rotations with the pack infirmary and when she did have free time, it was spent sleeping or studying. This was a rare afternoon she didn’t have to do one or the other and I was grateful to see her in person rather tha

A year ago, Chiyad PackLo“It’s a pleasure!” Alpha Nael boomed across the great room. I had barely appeared before his voice echoed across the stone walls.“The pleasure is mine, Alpha.” And despite myself, I attempted an embarrassing curtsy.“Justin, she’s so much prettier than you let on!”“Father, please.” Justin sounded like he was restraining himself.“How dare you postpone our meeting for this long!” He continued to lecture his son.I wasn’t sure what to say, so I simply smiled. Alpha Nael opened his massive arms and wrapped me in a hug before I knew wh

A year ago, Chiyad PackLo“A prison?” I gulped, willing my heart to stop racing. “Our pack house is a prison?”“Yes.” He said quite simply. But my head was racing.“I didn’t know that. It wasn’t in any of my history books--the archive would surely have a record of that, right?”“Right again,” he said solemnly, pulling his hands out of mine and taking slow steps around the nearby fountain. I couldn’t make out his face in the twilight but I knew by the tone of just two words that this wasn’t something he wanted to talk about

Present DayPerrinEager to take advantage of a body filled with energy, I let my wolf form set a crushing pace.Much to my annoyance, Justin kept pace directly on my flank. Our first time running patrol together, he had surprised me by running on my flank. This was typical protocol, but I was skeptical that his arrogance would cause him to break. It hadn’t. And today, he was the model form of running formation. For some reason that made me annoyed.Looking to give me a cardio workout this evening? Justin asked. I could hear the panting of his wolf behind me. I didn’t want to engage, so I ignored him.I can assure you that I’m getting enough with Kira-- there’s no

EPILOGUEMarge shuffled through the archive, her shoes making the only sound in the quiet stone building, echoing all the same through the high vaulted ceiling of the church building above. She raised a gnarled hand to the shelf and deposited the book after two tries, her hands shaking slightly with the cold. There were only a few books to return tonight. Far fewer than there had been when Leila had been here.So why had she waited until this late in the evening to do it? She just shrugged and pushed on, the slow creaking of the cart’s wheels punctuating the silence, her old watch on her pale wrist noting the time; 1:45 a.m.She really had no business being there so late. But she had gotten caught up in one of her research projects, spread out across her circulation desk and totally lost in thought until the rumble of her empty sto

Perrin“How long is it going to take?”I sat on Lo’s bed as she shoved clothes into her suitcase. “Maybe a week? I’m not sure.”“Why don’t you just leave all of that stuff here?” I pointed at the suitcase. “It’s not like you’re not going to bring it back.”She heaved a heavy sigh, full of fake exasperation. “I still have to pack it to move it down the hall. It’s just easier if I do it all at once.”“Nah. Let’s just throw it all in some garbage bags and unpack later.”She laughed. “Hand me those shoes?”I strode over and picked a pair

Perrin “Because I never want to create a monster like my father.” Silence hung in the room. I digested each word, the implications of it. “But you’re not…” I said, more for myself than for her. “No, I’m not. He never got his hands on me. My little brother made sure of that.” And even though she spoke in a viscous, quipping way; there was a hint of something grateful in her tone. “So he won’t be anything like him!” I said, assuring myself more than anything. “Does it matter?” She snapped, regaining her typical composure. “If my father’s insane lust for power is hereditary, then it’s best that the blood line ends with me. At least my brother won’t be breeding any offspring considering he’s gay–” sh

Perrin I glanced at my phone, then at Lo. We had made love for several hours, refusing to stop until we had our fill of each other. But each time hadn’t felt like enough, leaving us drained and happy but wanting more. After one particularly hot session in the middle of my bed involving whipped cream, I pulled her close to me, blissfully peaceful with her cradled in my arms. I felt her stomach growl against my hands. And apparently hungry. I swept my mouth to her ear and felt her shiver against me, goosebumps appearing up and down her body. I fought the impulse to warm her with every inch of mine. “Do you want me to get you a snack?” I said, and waved the small can of whipped cream in front of her face so she could see. She hummed lazily in my

PerrinAnd it had happened like that.I recalled the broad strokes for my friends.“You what?” Ethan said, shocked and nearly angry. “You can’t make that kind of promise!”Justin shook his head sagely. “That’s free reign, Perrin. And a dangerous move, backing out of every challenge. It puts you at a huge disadvantage if anyone trespasses on your territory.”“Or attacks on your land,” Ethan said.“Or poses a border dispute,” said Kira.“How will you expand?” Ethan asked, c

PerrinI tried to cover the nail marks she had left on my shoulder with a spare set of scrubs from Deidre’s office. It was no use. The scrubs were too small, tugging comically at my shoulders and Lo’s pink cheeks and ruffled hair couldn’t be fixed.We had retreated long enough to ourselves, and I pulled us back into the world of the living and down the hall, walking hand in hand as we rejoined our friends.Ethan smirked when he saw us. “Nice.”Kira rolled her eyes, glancing at her imaginary watch. “Couldn’t you two wait?”“At least get a shirt,” Ethan added, eyeing my bare chest. I had ditched the scrubs, unable to get them over my chest.

PerrinWe didn’t talk as much, even though that had been the plan.I had taken one of the chairs opposite Deidre’s desk, hoping to keep my brain thinking platonically for as long as possible. But part of me was still in shock. I could smell the smell of her coconut shampoo. See the glimmer of her earrings in the desk lap. And I had felt the tips of her fingernails as I held her hand; the short ones that she chewed on when she was reading and lost in thought.But I knew it was definitely her the moment I felt my head slightly dizzy with the draft of warm honeysuckle, intoxicatingly perfect.I wasn’t shy, needing to have her by my side. I pulled her easily into my lap, and she didn’t protest, as if still quite unsure that all of this was really happening either. She swun

PerrinAs soon as Mark dismissed the crowd, the crowd had begun to descend from the stands in droves. It hadn’t taken long for Lo to find me, fighting the current and pushing her way against the flow of teaming bodies and up to the platform.I sensed her, long before she ran up the platform stairs, Justin hot on her heels. I dove past my father, darted behind Mark and ran to meet her, not caring for any protocol or public indecency. I needed her.Her scent hit me first. It made my blood sing and my heart beat so fast I thought it would stop.And then there she was. The sight of my home and my heart, running and slipping across the wet platform towards me.My weight almost buckled beneath me, the unexpected reality of seeing her here st

Justin The arena was packed. I could hear an excited roar from the crowd from behind the Lodge, drifting over the top of the massive building and floating through the chill evening air. Lo parked illegally in front of the entrance to the building. Now was not the time to point it out. A series of battered and limp-hanging banners and signs showed the way around to the back. It had rained today, apparently, and we made progress towards the arena as quickly as we could, sludging through mud and the trampled pathway. A stadium had been erected, filled to the brim with stands of onlookers, cheering and applauding in a range of darkened colors, soaked from the rain. Despite the bad weather, it hadn’t dampened their spirits. The crowd had been here all night, awaiting the results. Colored tents for each challenging pack were spaced ou
