Chapter 1

Ava sped out of the cabin and past Anabelle, who had just finished arranging the pokers and marshmallows on the table next to the fire. Where are you going?" Anabelle called out. “Ava? Ava!” She dashed off without even checking her direction. Walking back from the cafeteria, she saw a queue of people and knew they might see her tears. What Kim and Tia did to her would be public knowledge. The mocking would only increase in intensity. Ava had to go to the office near the lake, which was shining brightly. There was a tightness in her chest. Whenever she breathed, she wheezed. She reached for her inhaler and made many failed attempts to exhale, finally succeeding after a few minutes. The medicine was quickly ingested by her. Another round of wheezing. A second drag was taken. She gradually regained her breathing capacity. Ava snarled, "I detest them," as she clenched her inhaler in her hand. "They're the worst," she said. The moon was full, and its reflection in the lake was hazy

Ava threw up her hand to protect her eyes from the piercing brightness. Evidently, she went to bed without having closed the bedroom curtains. She pulled the covers over her head and rolled over to try to go back to sleep.“Campers! "Go outside!"Campers?It took a while for her memories to come back to her, but once they did, she was able to piece together the entire sequence of events: her mother leaving her at camp, her week in hiding, the horrible dinner, discovering the girls looking through her belongings, and her subsequent flight into the forest.Also, the attack.She gasped and sat up. In the loft, Ava was lying on her little cot, but she had no clue how she had gotten there or how she had managed to survive the beast. "How is that...?"She did a quick self-examination. Both of her limbs were healthy. There were no scars on her stomach or chest (which made her wonder why she had such vivid memories of chest agony). She felt her entire face with her fingers but could find not

Call of the Alpha/Smile

That morning, Ava didn't have time to look for Lucas or get any extra sleep. She mumbled her way through the morning meal and the hike. She could hardly keep her eyes open as she made her way through the lunch buffet. She ignored Anabelle as she came to stand by her side."Can you see it?" Asked Anabelle.What exactly? Inquired Ava.“Tofu. I asked for something specific to be done for you." A tiny jar of tofu was present, as promised, next to the salad. It appeared to have been untouched by anyone else. "I also wrote a letter to your parents to let them know what happened with your stuff. You got a care box from mom. Back at the cabin, I placed it on your bed." Anabelle replied and left.Once Anabelle went, Ava grabbed a few pieces of tofu for her meal. She seemed a little giddy. She had been feeling a building hunger for days, and the availability of vegetarian cuisine gave her hope that she may finally be able to put an end to it. It didn't seem like anything else would help, thou

Lucas suggested, "Let's go for a walk."They sneaked down to the lake, dodging hikers and staff, and the horror of what Lucas was trying to tell her seemed a million miles away. They made their way down the boulders to the secluded beach below, where they could walk along the sand without being seen.Prior to Ava's subsequent questioning, Lucas spoke. "So, tell me, where are you from?""The city," she said. "I was born and raised there,""It's obvious to me. You're not an avid nature lover, are you?" He picked up a flat, round rock from the sand and bounced it in his palm as if determining its mass."Not really," Ava said honestly. "But I'm growing fond of it. It's almost like I'm at home here.""Is that really you I hear talking, or..."She lowered her gaze. "I don't know what to believe in any more."He threw the stone across the lake. Four times it bounced off the water's surface before finally sinking. They paused to observe the wave's progress."More books can be found in the ca

Chapter 5

Call of the Alpha/Smile

Ava had hope that, if she followed Lucas's instructions, she could sneak across to the other side without anyone suspecting anything. At night, she read The Tales of Lunacrest Mountain while holed up in her cabin.Late at night, when the moon is brightest, the young werewolf undergoes its transformation. His ability to change on the night of the full moon becomes fully developed by the time he reaches maturity. During his formative years, he is incapable of conscious thought and experiences an insatiable hunger.The words "insatiable hunger" caught Ava's attention. She felt the chill and shivered.Ava didn't complain when she had to leave the cabin for activities. She did some kayaking and swimming in the lake. She spent her time hiking, making bracelets, and researching edible plants. It appeared as though Tia was still terrified that Ava would explode, so the two avoided each other.Anabelle felt a sense of relief."You've been doing fantastic all week," she added as Ava helped cle
