Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 27. Goodbye's
EverestEvery muscle in my body ached. Using the gifts had proved to be exhausting, but I was grateful that I could help people. Finn had woken me up to shower and ‘talk’. I knew he just wanted to complete the rejection and get it over with since we’d been interrupted last night. I’d told him that I loved him, and he’d still wanted to end this anyways. I knew now that no matter what happened he was never going to change. At least I’d had the chance to tell him once.I thought about the way the Aswang had acted. It had stared directly at me. It wasn’t there for Finn; it seemed like it had wanted me. Even with him attacking it, it had charged for me. I felt its hunger for me. Maybe this was all connected somehow. The aswangs appearance, the attacks, my abilities…maybe it was all tied to me. I scrubbed my skin until it was reddened trying to clean Lupins blood off. I wanted to check on her before I went home. I climbed out of the shower, wincing at my achy muscles and pulled on a scrub sh

EverestHis lush lips found mine with a hunger I’d never seen in him. In a second my back was against the wall and his hands gripped my hips pulling me into him. The only thing I could think about was getting closer. My hands moved to his hair and our tongues tasted one another. His lips travelled down my jaw, along my neck to the soft spot between my neck and shoulder. He kissed and sucked my mark spot causing me to moan with pleasure. My whole body felt electrified by him, and he was ravenous for me. His hand moved underneath the loose shirt I was wearing, massaging my breasts, while the other slipped down into my core. I cried out as he found my sweet spot, and my arousal coated his fingers and my inner thighs. “Mine” he whispered against my ear, as he took control of my body. I opened my eyes, looking directly into his deep blue orbs. His eyes burned with passion, and they were unguarded. I could have stayed in that moment forever, but a voice in the back of my mind told me it woul

FinnI would have taken my side being gashed open by an aswang one thousand times over the pain that had erupted within me when Everest had attempted to reject the mate bond. It had taken every ounce of strength I’d had to hold myself together enough to decline the rejection. I could feel the tether to her holding on by a thread and I’d grasped on to it with everything I had. I left the room and fled the house, trying to run from the pain that had consumed me upon her rejection. Nothing quenched the flames that scorched me on the inside. I fled into the woods and shifted allowing the grief to envelope me alone in the dark, damp forest. I deserved it. I’d ruined everything. Lupin had nearly died trying to undo the hurt I’d caused, and Everest had given up on me. I hadn’t given her a reason to keep trying, but now that I knew what I wanted, and needed, it was that much more painful to see the repercussions of my actions. My life had gone from feared leader of the largest pack, to revolvi

EverestMy first thought when I opened my eyes was of Finn. He’d probably realized I’d left by now. The small, petty part of me felt good about disappearing on him after everything he’d put me through…I knew it wasn’t the healthy thing, but I’d tried to end it and he hadn’t accepted. He was still loving the game too much to call it quits, I guess. I knew the day would come where I had to face him again, but it wasn’t today. I sighed quietly and leaned my forehead against the cool widow of the car. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the present and leave him in the past. We’d been on the road for over 6 hours. Kali and I had fallen asleep in the backseat around seven AM and Caleb had kept driving. It was now half past nine and the terrane had become much sparser since we’d descended down the mountain. I stretched trying to wake up my arms and legs again, kicking Kali. “Whoops, sorry!”She groaned, waking up groggily.“Morning sleepyheads!” Caleb called from the front seat. “I don’t

FinnI banked around corners as fast as my Ferrari would go. One of the many upsides to living off the beaten path was that you could rip on the open highways in the rainforests of coastal British Columbia without running into a soul. The engine purred as I pushed the pedal to the floor. I was at least six hours behind them, and I was aiming to cut that in half with some risky driving. I didn’t care that she didn’t want me there. This entire situation had endangered my pack and I wanted some answers about this prophecy. Not to mention she was my mate, and I wasn’t about to risk her safety just because she was upset with me. I really thought the whole ‘being emotionally attached to someone’ thing was going to be impossible for me to do, but so far, the instinct to protect her had come pretty naturally…hopefully the rest would too.The hours dragged on and the trees passed by in a green blur. I’d already covered way more ground than I’d planned. I was catching up to them quickly. I pulle

EverestI woke up with my cheek pressed against a muddy floor. All I could smell was earth and decay. The steady drip, drip, drip of water echoed around, and I had a metallic taste in my mouth. My head pounded and a big goose-egg had risen where I’d been struck. I could hear shuffling around me, but I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t know if that was because I was blindfolded, or it was just pitch black wherever I was. Muffled voices were whispering somewhere but I couldn’t make out what they were saying. I groaned and blinked open my eyes. What the hell had happened? My last few moments came rushing back as I remembered the terrified look on the gas station clerks face as her bones cracked and her chest was ripped open…the aswang. Fuck. I tried to scramble upright, but my arms and legs were aching. I felt like I’d been cramped up in a small, tight space for hours. My wolf’s night vision kicked in and showed me my surroundings. From what I could see, I was in a cave…The walls were made

Everest“You can…draw out the venom?” Hannah asked skeptically. “What, like a snake bite?”“No, not exactly…I’m – I have this weird family bloodline that…honestly, I really don’t know that much about it. I was on my way to see someone who was supposed to be able to help, but I ended up in here. I healed two other wolves back at Onyx. Lupin and Marley.”“Finn’s sister?” Fiona gaped. “His sister was attacked?”“Yeah, but I pulled the venom out and she seemed to be recovering fine when I left. Most of the wolves are being killed, but the aswang that got Marley was interrupted before it could finish, and the one that got Lupin was distracted.”“Does it hurt?” Fiona asked, eyes wide.“No, I don’t think so. But it does leave a mark…and it’s intense from what I’ve been told.”“I’m game.” Hannah said, at once. “Anything to help with this pain…”“Okay…” Fiona agreed, skeptically.“Alright. You’re both going to have a gold tattoo where I touch you, so pick a spot, because I have no idea how long

Everest“…interesting.” A slimy, deep voice spoke from nearby. “And they couldn’t feed on her?”“No, sir. They rejected her blood, and their venom didn’t seem to work on her either.” Another voice answered.“Very interesting…lets wake her up and have a chat, shall we?” A hand tapped the side of my cheek roughly.“Come on, time to wake up. There’s a good little wolf.” I opened my eyes. The man’s face in front of me frowned and turned back to the first man. Both were dressed in all black and had no hair on their heads. I blinked, trying to get my eyes to focus. I’d never been more tired in my entire life. Every muscle in my body felt like it had seized, and I felt like I’d been beaten black and blue. They must’ve put wolfsbane into my system. My head pounded and my throat was parched and raw. I was tied to a thick wooden column with my hands above my head. My shoulders ached at the strain. I could hear the shrieks of the Aswang, likely feeding again, and I prayed to Selene that Hannah an

EverestThe morning sunlight filtered through the wide, airy windows of the packhouse, bathing the room in soft, golden hues. The smell of fresh flowers and faint lavender incense filled the air, mingling with the excited buzz of voices from the pack outside. My chest tightened—not with fear, but anticipation. Today, I would stand before the Onyx Moon pack, Finn at my side, and take my place as their Luna.The thought sent a strange mix of nerves and excitement fluttering through me.“You’re going to wear a hole in the floor if you keep pacing like that,” Kali teased from her seat by the mirror. She was brushing out her dark hair, her expression warm but amused.I froze mid-step and shot her a playful glare. “Easy for you to say. You’re not the one about to get up in front of hundreds of people and have your hand sliced open.”“You’ll be fine,” Lupin chimed in from where she was lounging on the bed. “They already love you. You’re basically their Luna now; this is just a formality.”“A

EverestThe air was heavy with magic that night, thick and electric, as we gathered in a clearing under the pale light of the half-moon. Megandra stood at the center, her movements precise as she laid out the final pieces of the ritual. The ground around her shimmered faintly, traced with glowing runes that seemed to hum with life.Theo lay in the center of the circle, his massive, hairless form bound by thick silver chains laced with wolfsbane. His black eyes glinted with a primal, feral rage, but he didn’t struggle. Not anymore. The beast was tired, his breath labored as if some part of him knew this was the end of his torment—one way or another.I stood beside Finn, his hand gripping mine tightly. I could feel the tension radiating off him, his wolf pacing beneath his skin. He’d agreed to this—to give Theo a chance—but I knew it wasn’t easy for him.“You sure about this?” Finn asked, his voice low, his eyes locked on Theo, as though he'd prefer to just end it himself.“Yes,” I said
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 69. Reunions
EverestThe crunch of gravel under tires drew my attention to the packhouse gates. I stood on the porch after spending the rest of the day getting reaquainted with Finn. My hands gripped the railing as I watched the convoy of black SUVs pull into the courtyard. My stomach churned, a mix of relief and anxiety swirling through me.“They’re here,” I murmured, my voice barely audible over the sound of the engines.Finn stood beside me, his arms crossed, his presence grounding even as tension radiated off him in waves. I glanced up at him, and he met my gaze, his eyes soft but weary.The car doors opened almost in unison. My mother was the first out, her white-blonde hair catching the sunset light like spun silk. She was a vision of strength, her posture straight and proud, but as her bright green eyes found me, her composure cracked.“Everest!” she called, her voice trembling. I barely had time to step forward before she wrapped me in her arms, her embrace fierce and unyielding.“I was so

FinnHolding Everest in my arms made everything else disappear for a moment. The chaos, the losses, the suffocating guilt—it all faded into the background. She was here, alive, and for that single heartbeat, it felt like nothing else mattered.The moment didn't last long.The door creaked open, and I looked up to see Rowena standing there, her face drawn tight. My stomach dropped. Whatever it was, it wasn’t good.“I hate to interrupt,” she said, stepping inside, “but we have a problem.”Everest pulled back, and I wiped at my face, quickly masking the vulnerability that had surfaced. “What is it?”Rowena moved to the chair across from us, lowering herself into it with an exhaustion I hadn’t seen on her before. Her hands were clasped tightly, the firelight catching on the sharp angles of her face.“Have either of you heard of Black Annis?”The name sent a ripple of unease through me, though I couldn’t place why. I glanced at Everest. Her jaw had tightened, her golden eyes narrowing.“Sh
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 67. Amends
EverestThe crackling fire danced before me, its light painting shadows on the walls as I sat curled up on the couch, nursing a steaming cup of tea. The warmth of the flames did little to thaw the cold knot of tension in my chest. I’d gotten out of the hospital yesterday after spending a day in there. Physically I’d been fine, so they let me leave after I’d woken up, on the order that I’d rest as much as possible to regain my strength. I’d planted myself in one of the cozy chairs of the library, reading about the Gods and Goddess’s of the old myths. My hand drifted to my stomach, still not accustomed to the appearance of the bump there. But it was there. She was there. My heart fluttered with nerves at the thought, but I took a breath and smiled. Fortunately, the acceleration of the pregnancy had projected me past the morning sickness part.Kali and Caleb had been ensuring the pack was being taken care of while Finn and I had been in the hospital. Finn had been healing, slowly but sur
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 66. Place Between Places
EverestThe sunlight was soft, golden, and endless. It stretched out in every direction, filling a horizonless expanse that felt neither warm nor cold, neither real nor unreal. I stood in the middle of a field, barefoot, the soft hum of power thrumming beneath my feet. My hands felt empty, weightless, but when I looked down, they were glowing faintly, the same soft gold as the field around me. Behind me, the moon shone like a silver beacon, meeting the sunlight with a soft caress. I smiled, as my fingertips grazed the tops of the long stalks of grass. I felt safe here, at ease. I breathed deeply, smelling the sweet air, a delicate scent mixed in on the breeze. My eyes popped open in surprise at the scent.I wasn’t alone.A figure walked toward me, her steps light and deliberate. She looked... familiar, though I’d never seen her before. A beautiful young woman, perhaps in her twenties, with a torrent of dark red curls falling to her lower back that caught the light like spun fire and p

FinnPain was the first thing I noticed. Not the sharp, stabbing kind—no, this was deeper, a dull ache that seemed to thrum in time with my pulse. My chest felt like it had been stitched together by a blind surgeon, and my head was heavy, like someone had poured molten lead behind my eyes.I blinked, the dim light of the room cutting through the haze. White walls. The sterile smell of antiseptic. A hospital.My heart lurched, adrenaline surging as I tried to sit up.“Whoa, whoa. Easy there, big guy.”Caleb’s voice grounded me. I turned my head too fast, wincing as the pull of stitches across my chest reminded me how close I’d come to not waking up at all. He was slouched in the chair next to my bed, arms crossed, his face a mix of exhaustion and something else – grief.“What… happened?” My throat was dry, the words rasping out like sandpaper.“You’re lucky to be alive,” Caleb said, straightening. “Most of us are. But... not all of us.”The weight of his words hit harder than the pain
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 64. Weapon
EverestPain. It radiated through every part of me, sharp and unrelenting, dragging me into a cold, suffocating reality. I had a long gash down my forearm that dripped blood steadily. My wrists burned where the ropes dug into my skin, tied so tightly behind me that I could barely feel my fingers. I was no longer in my wolf form…He must’ve soaked the ropes in wolfsbane. My body trembled, human and vulnerable now, as I hung limply from the tree they’d tied me to.Iza’s voice slithered through the air, soft but venomous.“You look so fragile like this,” he purred, crouching in front of me. His black eyes glinted with cruel amusement, the shadows of his magic flickering around him like living things. “Where is your precious glow now, hmm? Where is Selene’s power?”I lifted my head weakly, my glare cutting through the pain. “Go to hell,” I spat, my voice hoarse.Iza chuckled darkly, his pointed teeth gleaming in the dim light of the clearing. “Oh, my dear, I’ve been living in hell for cent
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 63. No More Dead Wolves
EverestThe forest swallowed me whole, the sounds of the battle fading into muffled chaos behind me. My heart thundered, every step driving me closer to the witches who had orchestrated this nightmare. The bond screamed for me to stop, to turn back and find Finn, but I pushed forward. This ended tonight—no matter the cost.Their energy pulsed like a beacon, sickly and dark, guiding me deeper into the woods. The gifts Selene had given me flared stronger the closer I got to their foul magic. On a night without a moon, my glow was all the light the forest needed. A soft silvery haze bathed the trees, the shadows twisting and curling unnaturally as though they feared my presence. My paws hit the ground in rhythmic thuds, quiet and deliberate as I honed in on my prey.Twax and Iza were close.A few more minutes of running and I saw them. Twax hunched near a crude altar, his single arm fumbling with a vial of dark yellow liquid. A low growl rumbled in my chest as I spotted his maimed should
