MARGERY
I stood by the top of the stairs, waiting for Zaire to visit Connor. She disappeared out of sight, and not a moment longer, a man was coming up. Since I was banned from using magic, I couldn’t camouflage myself and had no choice but to run back up and out the wooden door to find a place to hide.
ZAIRE I walked out of the dungeons and dad stood in front of the door with Jedrick. He had his arms folded on his chest while the Alpha’s eyes glowed a bright silver as he looked straight into my eyes. Neither one of them were happy.
CONNORI sat on the steps of the back porch, seeing the starry sky and thinking what my life would have been like if we didn’t come to live here? Passing my hand roughly on my hair, I let out a groan of frustration.
ZAIRE The car stopped at a suburban neighbo
CONNOR “Connor, are you eating before you go to school?” mom asked as I walked through the door and headed to my room to get changed.
ZAIRE “So, what do you say we all go to the diner today? We didn’t get to go last time,” Margery said as we all headed out of school. I was lost in thought and couldn’t really pay attention to what she was saying. “Zaire, are you with us?” Ximena asked, waving her hand in front of me. I shook my head and cleared my throat, trying to hide the fact that I had spaced out. “Yeah, what were you talking about again?” “About going to the diner and having something to eat?” Margery repeated. “I’m sorry. I have other things to do, so I will have to take a raincheck,” I said, giving each of them a hug and walking away, instead of catching a ride with dad. As I was heading towards the road, I could see Leonard and Connor talking by the woods. ‘He looks really handsome, Zaire,’ Louve mentioned, bringing a smile to my face. “He sure does.” As I kept walking, I could hear him call. I stopped and turned around as he approached me before he bent down to take deep b
MARGERY “Well, since Zaire didn’t accept to join us, why don’t we go with Leonard?” Ximena said as I looked at Zaire and Connor walking away.
ZAIRE The sound of the owls hooting and the paws of our wolves on the dirt were soothing. Louve and Amoux were enjoying themselves and we just let them be for a bit longer. Ruelle and Lowell were not far behind, and they were enjoying each other’s company as well. We reached a cliff and just sat there, admiring the horizon. The full moon was bright in the sky, and the stars were as beautiful as ever. Amoux stood straight, and let out a big, powerful howl to the moon, followed by the others. It felt so freeing, so… magical. As soon as they all stopped, Louve nuzzled her head against Amoux’s fur, showing how much she was loving his company. His blue eyes glowed as he let out a low growl before licking her snout playfully. He suddenly turned around, growling at the shadows. I wondered what had him feeling so uneasy? Then Lowell did the same, making Ruelle stand behind him. But not Louve, she was next to Amoux, ready to jump into action if needed. My wolf was no
CONNOR Alpha Jedrick and Luna Adira led us to the big dining hall and gestured for us to sit down on any chair. The table was so long, it probably fit over forty people at once. I pulled a chair for Zaire and with a sweet smile, she sat down before I helped her push the chair back in. She looked around and I could see how in awe she was of the place. The hall’s decor was more likely from the 18th century and it had its charm and also its mystery. There were paintings of different pack members, royals and warriors alike. They both sat down at the end of the table, and Luna Adira looked at Zaire with a soft gaze and a kind smile. “It makes us happy to have you here for dinner, Zaire. I’m sure you have a lot of questions for us,” she asked. Zaire tensed next to me as I sat down, grabbing her hand to squeeze it in reassurance. “It’s okay,” I whispered. She took a deep breath and smiled back at Luna Adira, taking a deep breath before she spoke. “The only thing I w

CONNORThey were here, attacking from every angle. The wizard was very powerful and I just hoped the coven would be able to stop him.
ZAIRE“Mommy, who is that?” I asked mom as I walked into her hospital room and hopped on her bed. I was only seven years old when she had her baby.
MARGERYAlpha Adryan had called us to the pack house for a special training session. It made me happy to know Zaire and her family didn’t leave, and I have to thank Amoux for that.

ZAIRE“Is she okay?”“I don’t know, we have to wait until she wakes up.”
CONNORSchool day was a bit awkward, not to mention Margery being depressed about Blake being gone for a month. She has been either too quiet, or snapping at us about anything we would ask her.
MARGERY A month. Blake has been gone for a month, not telling me. When I woke up from my sleep, I found out he had disappeared after talking to Connor and Leonard, but they didn’t have any idea where he had gone off to.
BLAKEThis bastard is still alive. After trying to end them all, I couldn’t believe he was still here. Zaire saw him just as well as I did, but she got ahead and followed him while my job was to worry about Margery, who was being carried away by the warriors.“Hand her to me. I’m not letting any of you touc
