“Who am I? Do you not know?” She looked dumbfounded at my question as if I should have known her my whole life. My confused expression must have answered her question for me since her expression changed into a multitude of emotions all at once.
“I’m-HA! Do you even know who you are?” She laughed then; it was the scariest thing I ever heard.
“I know I’m a hybrid of my mother and Alpha Zander. I just found out about the Alpha Zander part about a week ago.”
“Wait, a week ago?! Who did you think your father was before then?” She asked, sounding genuinely curious. I shrugged before answering.
“I didn’t know, and from what my mom told me, I didn’t need to know.”
“Didn’t you ever want to know who your father was? Why would someone not want to know about their father?” She seemed angry as she spoke. I realized then that it was more of a child

KamariThe next morning, or at least I think it was morning, my father barged in with Verena trailing behind him. He looked excited for whatever reason when he came close to my bedside, and I physically cringed away from him.“Alright, Kamari. I’ve given you time to rest and recover your strength from the ceremony. I’m out of patience now, though. It’s time you show me your wolf.” He seemed too eager to see me shift, but why? Why did he want to see my wolf so severely?We cannot shift in front of him, Kamari, Tala rang in my ear. I continued to look at my father, trying to understand his weird behavior.Why? What’s the matter? Are we not able to? I asked Tala while still keeping an eye on my father. Fear ran up my spine at the thought of the spell not working. Or worse, Morana did something else to us instead.It’s not that, we can shift. I don’t trust that gleam in our father&rs

SeraI had three days of excruciating training with the Starlight squad before I realized this may not be my jam. Every time I tried to hit the pads or Spar with one of the girls, I got so nervous that I apologized way too many times after I hit them. I started to think my heart wasn’t made out to be a warrior.Reed’s sister Naya took me in and worked with me the most these past few days. She seemed friendly and eager to get to know me, so it was a great way to bond and talk while also trying to train me. Even though she was a great teacher, I still needed to get my footing right. I was a dancer, dammit, I should get this easily!“It’s okay, Sera. You’ll get the hang of it soon enough. It takes a while to learn,” Naya told me over and over again.“How long did it take Ari to get the hang of it?” I was curious to know how she played out with all of this.“Well... I wouldn’t compare yourself

Kamari Every day, I practiced and trained. When I wasn’t working with my magic, I exercised or danced. I needed to keep my body and mind vital when it came time to escape. Every day that passed, I could feel myself joining with my magic more. At first, I thought it was just about connection. But after an outburst of anger manifested into flames that turned the curtains to ashes, I realized it was more of an extension of me. My magic felt what I felt and did what I wanted to do. I was angry when I scorched the curtains and walls. My father had come back in to try and force me to shift. He knew I was bluffing, but I wouldn’t budge. He became eerily quiet before walking out again. That was a couple of days ago. I was so angry when my magic lashed out. It felt good to burn things down. A little too good. That was what my mom warned me about, the power craze. “It can consume you if you let it; the power is addictive. The more you have, the more you can bend th

TheronFuck, fuck, fuck, FUUUCCKKK! These assholes are everywhere! For two days, they’ve been nonstop. We’ve had to take shifts from fighting an enemy that doesn’t seem to tire. I realized too late they had another pack fighting alongside them. I didn’t recognize their scent from packs around us, but they were vicious. The bomb they set off at the campus would have decapitated us if it had gone off an hour earlier. Thankfully, most of the team and squad had already left, except for a precious few.Naya was still in a coma at the hospital. Shay said she would pull through, but I haven’t heard any improvements. Reed was a wreck because of it; he almost tore the damn door off when he stampeded into the hospital carrying his sister’s limp body, his young mate close behind. That was two days ago; Sera had stayed to help at the hospital while Reed had been on a killing spree ever since. We’ve all gone head to head with the two packs

ReedTher, NO. No, no, no, you can’t. You’re not allowed to! I knew that look; Theron was dying. I screamed inside; this couldn’t be happening. I cannot lose him, too. Think Reed, Think! If we can’t go to the Hospital, where can we go that can help? Where would Kamari go? Suddenly, the visual popped into my head like I had always known to go there.I know where to go, Rune, help me carry him. Rune and I grabbed each arm and hefted him up, grunting at the dead weight in our arms. Theron didn’t have the strength to even hold his head up. I knew he was fading fast; that knowledge propelled me to get there quicker. We threw him in the backseat of my truck and sped off down the road. Fighting was still happening all over the town, and a part of me knew I should be out there fighting with the pack. However, if Theron died, it would be all over for the pack anyway. Rune had gone eerily quiet these past couple of days. He

“I know you also sensed something with me. I could feel your anger toward me. When you start learning medicine, you get a feel for people’s energies, sicknesses, and emotions. You could call it a sixth sense in a way.” My cheeks grew hot, and I realized she knew exactly how I had been feeling towards her.“It’s okay, and it’s normal for mates to feel protective over their bonded partner. I had wanted to clear the air earlier, but, well, things got crazy around here.” I put my head down in shame. While the whole town had been in chaos, I had allowed myself to be consumed with my jealous emotions. I really needed to work on this with Soraya if we were ever going to be functioning adults again.“I’m sorry,” I said quietly, “If I made you uncomfortable. I’m still learning how to live with my wolf.” I didn’t want to make excuses, but I still needed to apologize to her.“No need,

ReedI sat by Theron as he slept all night. The only time I had gotten up was to answer a call from Sera saying Naya was awake and well. At least one thing had gone right. My heart swelled at the news until I looked at my injured Alpha behind me. I didn’t tell Sera about Theron; I didn’t want to worry anyone. No one knew he of his state Except Rune and the cat. Even as Dani and Rune went out repeatedly to gather injured pack members to be healed, we kept everyone out of Kamari’s room. Soon enough, the Ostyn house became a safe house and makeshift hospital.The cat came in around dawn to check-in. He checked the wound that had started healing and put more ointment on it before checking his heartbeat.“How long has he been wheezing?” The cat asked me as he held the stethoscope to his chest.“A little while. Why? Is it a bad sign?” I looked up at the cat to read his expression.“It’s not a good sig

MorikoThe house was full of wolves with injuries; the iron smell of blood filled my nose as I saw wolf after wolf to assess and put whatever ointment I could find on them to help the healing go faster. I was about to head to Kamari’s room when I felt a tremor through the house. I paused, looking up at the creaking ceiling with dust floating down. I stood still for a moment, assessing, that tremor felt different than the ones these past few days. I perked my ears, straining to hear anything unusual. After a minute, I thought it was just another of the house’s spells and began walking up the stairs. I was about halfway up the stairs when the hairs on my neck rose.Something is wrong, very wrong. I ran back down the stairs and looked out the door. Genuine fear I hadn’t felt in ages crept up my spine at what I saw. The Raven witches walked toward the barrier, holding the wolves in a containment spell. It wasn’t just the Phantom Moon wolves either,

The light of the day as it cascaded through the cave made her head pound more. She hated the sight. Spring was her least favorite season. All full of flowers and sunshine; it made her sick. Sitting on the cold, damp earth at least helped her find her bearings. She was still gathering her strength and her senses from when she teleported. It was a gamble; she had never done it before. She was only taught the spell in case she ever needed it in dire circumstances. Well, her daughter betraying her felt like a damn dire circumstance, one she would rectify once her strength came back to her. That girl was foolish to side with the weaker of her two sides. Her fathers blood would never overcome her Raven powers. Her daughters father... Zander. The name alone caused more pain in her chest than she felt like considering at the moment. She didn't even know she could feel such emotions anymore. Not since the first summoning all those years ago. Even her own mother's death didn't hurt quite like t

“Wait, what? Why?” With her now being a werewolf, we had discussed her staying here with the pack and her mate.“It won’t be long. I’ll be gone and back again within the month. I just need to settle everything with school and pack my things from my apartment to move here. Plus, I’d like to give my dad a heads-up. He’s been texting me worried since I haven’t gone to see him recently.” Sera’s dad was the only family she had left. Her mom had died giving birth to her, leaving her dad to raise her solo. I nodded my agreement.“I’m going with her,” Reed announced; I had expected him to want to go with her. Theron came and sat by my side, taking my hand in his while swirling his thumb inside my palm. I leaned into his warmth, laying my head against his shoulder."Are you sure you’re up for it, Reed?" Theron eyed his friend. I looked up at him. My expression must have shown the confusion I felt because Theron smiled before explaining.“With the Desert pack going silent with no word, I’m worr
Under the Blue Cold Moon Where Will you Go?
As the morning sun rose, the birds chirped their morning song, signaling that the crisp, freezing winter was ending and spring was waking up. It had been two months since the battle of clans, with the pack busy repairing the town and healing its injured. Moriko sat outside on the porch in his white cat form, staring at the field that once held a great battle.I sat beside him, scratching behind his ear like an old habit, earning a purr from him. We sat silently for a moment, gazing at the peaceful morning sunrise. In the corner of my eye, I could still make out the black patch of ash that was Morana. It never lifted from the earth, like a scar.“Where will you go next?” I asked to break the silence.“I must return home to the Ostyn Clan headquarters. There is much to do and arrange now that the power has shifted to a new priestess, and the curse has broken. I am needed there to protect your mother.” Moriko had sadness in his voice; he had walked beside my grandmother for decades, ands

KamariShe was okay; she was bleeding, but Mother was going to be okay. I nuzzled her, overjoyed to see her again, letting loose some healing magic to knit Mom’s side up. Only she didn’t need my magic; she was already healing fast, which was new. She wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me.“I knew you’d come, just in the nick of time, too.” She whispered to me. I nuzzled further into her, needing to feel her warmth and know she was okay. The sound of her scream before would haunt my dreams for days. I felt movement behind me; I turned out of my mother’s arms and moved protectively in front of her, watching Morana stand off with Verena.“Get out of the way, you stupid child!” Morana screamed at Verena’s wolf. The wolf held her ground, huffing air out of her snout.“What are you doing?! You’d choose them!? The ones that killed your father!?” a single tear escaped Morana’s eye as she spoke about Zander.“I’m doing this for you! So you can rule! Now get out of the way!!” The markin
Under the Blue Cold Moon Choosing Sides
KamariI was the wind and earth, I was lightning and fire. I ran into the fray with full abandon. I let the bond guide me to where Theron was fighting my Father. Snow stung my eyes as I dashed through the blizzard. As I ran toward him, I saw wolves stop to watch me run past them. They paused and stared before going back at it, battling the Phantom warriors and the animals of the forest that had joined the fight.A few light-colored wolves dared to run at me. I unleashed my fire on them in my wolf form, allowing Tala to mix her power with my Ostyn blood. Fire clashed with ice, creating water in my eyes from the raging snowstorm, and I lost track of what was real and what was magic. It almost looked like my magic formed through Tala as a bird of fire, tearing into the wolves as we fought with teeth and claws. A mountain lion leaped on the remaining wolf, fighting him off and giving me time to go to my mate.I still wasn’t 100 percent sure how I did it. I was running through the forest w
Under the Blue Cold Moon The White Wolf
TheronDo you have any last words, pup? Zander spoke triumphantly into my head with death in his eyes. I mentally pushed on the bind the Raven had on me, trying with all my might to get free. She began to sweat with the pressure, but the bind held firm. Zander took a step closer than another. I moved my eyes to see the remaining warriors of our pack fighting viciously outnumbered but standing their ground.A wolf got through the Cadre’s barrier and slashed Dani down her side. She howled in pain, her blood staining the white snow beneath. Rune shot out off the ground, shifting in the air and throwing his wolf form at the wolf to get him away from his mate.It opened a hole in the barrier big enough for several enemy wolves and a few witches to break free and run towards the house. That was when the cat jumped through the busted door, attacking anyone near the opening. Alpha Zander had shifted back into his human form, unafraid of the vulnerability it put him in, and wrapped his hands ar
Under the Blue Cold Moon The Last Stand
ReedIt was a fucking slaughterhouse. We were outnumbered three to one at least, and with everyone battling for the past several days, we were exhausted. The snow didn’t help either; it kept getting in our eyes, watering our vision, and making it hard to keep the focus on our opponent. Zander planned and executed this well. We would need a miracle to win this war. I swiped and killed mercilessly at the Desert Pack. From what I knew of the slave traders, they deserved nothing less.Where is he? Rune asked in my head. I looked to see him step up beside me in his human form with two broad swords. Rune had always enjoyed fighting with swords in battle and would often switch off between his wolf and warrior form “to ease the tension for both forms,” he had said. Rune was one of our most formidable warriors because he was so good in both forms and enjoyed both sides, sometimes a little too much. Where I would fight out of necessity, Rune fought for
Under the Blue Cold Moon With Respect
ReedI stood staring at Ms. O as she worked her magic on Theron. At first, nothing happened. fear coursed up my spine when I saw the look on Ms. O’s face. She couldn’t hide the terror and sadness in her eyes. I couldn’t make out his heartbeat or even feel his presence for a split second. I dropped to my knees in shock, sitting there, helpless, beside his bed. This wasn’t happening, this couldn’t-Slowly, I saw Theron’s skin turn from ash to golden brown, and his breathing grew steadily. Without thinking, I burst out in laughter, a tear sliding down my cheek. My joy was short-lived when I heard slamming and hissing outside the room. Ms. O and I both looked at the door at the exact moment. I became alert immediately when Arkyn pushed to get out. He had been reeling the past few days, needing to fight and protect the pack battling outside these walls.“I’ll protect him. Go! Help them, save her, please.” The last

Izabele“NOOOOO! You can’t! You can’t sacrifice yourself like this!” I raged while I slammed my fist into the door that wouldn’t open. Whether it was her or the house that locked me in, I didn’t know, and I didn’t care; I was mad at both of them. I bellowed at the door, trying to claw my way out when someone interrupted me.“Umm, Ms. O...Ms. O? MS. O!” I turned to look at him with tear-stained eyes. He took a step back with his hands up, smart boy.“From the feel of her power, I-uh, think she can handle one witch, right? And-”“NO, she cannot. The High Priestess’s power comes not from fighting or battle spells but from healing. She is our greatest healer and greatest seer. She can see...She can see...she saw this. She insisted she came with me when I said I was coming here. She knew...” I trailed off, not wanting to say what I knew was coming next. Her words from a few day
