Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 34. Forsaken
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

FinnWe’d run all day and night, trying to trace her scent. We knew the general direction they’d taken her from the GPS location on her phone, but we didn’t know exactly what we’d be looking for. It was early in the morning the next day when we found her phone laying in a pile of grass at the base of a big cliff. Kali had sniffed it out and called us over.‘This is definitely hers. Its dead, so that’s why the GPS disappeared I guess.’ Kali sniffed it sadly. Her black and white wolf whining.‘Must be.’ Caleb’s big reddish-brown wolf nuzzled her. ‘Okay let’s spread out and comb the area for any signs of the aswang.’ Caleb said through the link.‘No need.’ I growled. ‘They’re in there.’ I gestured towards a narrow slit in the cliffside ahead of us.‘How do you know?’ Caleb turned to look at me. My eyes were glued to the black hole between the cliffs.‘I can feel her in there.’ I pawed the ground, snarling. I couldn’t sense her feelings, but I could sense her nearby and I knew she was down

FinnEverest shook in my arms from shock and exhaustion.‘Did you find her? We’ve got the wolves, but only two could shift…the rest we’ll either have to carry or lead out, so we need to go NOW before the aswang heal. We’re going to start heading towards the entrance, catch up to us as fast as you can…we’ll need the help.’ Kali said through the mind-link.‘I’ve got her. Go on ahead, we’re right behind you. Caleb, go help them…’ He nodded and took off down the tunnel to help Hannah and Kali. I turned my attention back to Everest.“Everest,” I took her face in my hands, “babe, we’re going to get out of here. Can you shift?” She looked at me, gold eyes swimming with tears. “Hey, just focus on me, okay? I’m here. I’ve got you. You’re safe now. I’ll never let anyone hurt you ever again.” She nodded slowly and closed her eyes, starting the shift. I shifted too. It took her a few moments due to her exhaustion, but her beautifully unique golden wolf was standing in front of me for the first tim

EverestWhen I’d seen Finn charge into the cave to rescue me, I’d known I was going to be okay. Since then, he hadn’t let me out of his sight…and I wasn’t necessarily complaining. As messy as things had been, it was a relief to have a big alpha watching your back.I woke up early to the light of the sunrise. I was cocooned in the fur of a big navy-grey wolf. Caleb and Kali stood guard, watching over the other sleeping wolves and pups. Finn must’ve curled up around me to keep me warm since I hadn’t shifted before I fell asleep. I’d used every ounce of energy I had to heal the last eight wolves, and then I remember collapsing. They’d all managed to shift to their wolves after I’d healed them, so obviously it had worked. Interestingly, though they were all varying colours, they all had flecks of gold fur mixed into their coats…I’d recognized a couple from Aurora moon. I’m sure their families would be happy to have them home. One of the two pups was from a young family there.I curled up i

FinnWe drove along the winding highway towards Bella Coola. Everest had changed into a light blue dress. She looked radiant even after everything she’d just been through. She leaned her head back and gazed out the window with a thoughtful look on her face. I was glad she didn’t fight me on bringing her to see the witch. After what had happened the last time she left me, I’d decided that until this was over, I wouldn’t be letting her out of my sight again. Plus, I wanted the time with her…we had a lot to figure out between us on top of the whole prophecy and gifted wolf thing…I turned down the radio “So, Caleb mentioned something about a prophecy.” She was pulled from her thoughts.“Huh? Oh, yeah. A witch wrote a prophecy in my family tree book. It was handwritten in the same script as my name, which wasn’t supposed to be in there, and no one knows who wrote it in. I’m hoping it was Rowena Malachiah…but who knows.”“Can you read it to me?” I asked, frowning.“Sure.” She pulled an old

EverestCompared to the other two witches I’d met, Megandra seemed pretty normal. Though she wasn’t magic by blood, she was still practicing herbalism. She had shoulder length light brown hair and a square face. She was several inches taller than me, and she had big, round, dark blue eyes. She’d said ‘cursed one’ like it was just a simple thing, yet it had sent shivers down my spine. Curses were supposed to be a bad thing as far as I knew…The jaguar had come over to investigate us while we talked with Megandra and had startled me initially, but now I was affectionately scratching her ears while she purred loudly.“Quite the collection of animals you’ve got here…” I said, impressed.“Yeah, Rowena’s built quite the menagerie. The big cats are incredibly loyal. There’re a few lions wandering around here too somewhere, but they keep more to themselves.” Megandra picked up her basket of herbs and looked up at the sky.“Well, we should probably go inside. Rowena’s been waiting for you, and s

EverestI stared at Rowena; my eyes wide. My mind raced trying to absorb everything she had just told me. I was descended from Helios and Selene; I had a curse placed on my family from Helios; I could unseal that curse tonight, and Rowena was going to help me do it.“Okay…That’s a little hard to take in…” I shook my head. I could feel Finn’s eyes on mine, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at him.Rowena smiled gently and patted my shoulder. “Destiny is difficult to accept, dear. Those that are blessed with it normally feel that they shouldn’t have one at all. The truth is, once I remove the curse, the past won’t matter. Who your ancestors are, what they fought about…it won’t affect you. All that matters is who you choose to be, and what you choose to do going forward. Speaking of…” she turned to Finn with a sour look on her face. “Why haven’t you marked your mate yet?”His eyes flicked over to her and darkened. “I don’t think that’s any of your business. While you might be helpful to

FinnHer velvet skin under my fingers felt like heaven as she sat in my lap, straddling me in the tall grass. She trembled under my touch and her soft moans drove me wild. I’d been craving her since I’d had my last taste and I was finally going to be satiated. Her hunger seemed to be as strong as mine. She rolled her hips against me, building friction between us. I growled and claimed her lips ravenously. Her rose and vanilla scent swirled around us, and I could smell the sweetness of her arousal. She pulled my shirt over my head and her delicate hands explored my torso. The desire to claim her was deep and primal and I couldn’t help myself. I tore the back of her dress open and pulled it down, exposing her round breasts. Her golden hair cascaded down her back as she tipped her head back moaning while I sucked and nipped at her neck, making my way to her nipples.“You're mine, little wolf” I growled against her skin. She moaned in response grinding herself against me. Her hands reached

Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 71. Bonus Chapter - Luna
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
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 68. Black Annis
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
