MattTony's question had caught me completely off guard. I could still hear the cartoons Quillan was watching as I tried to understand what Tony was getting at. Tony should know me better than anyone. But lately, it felt like we were strangers who just happened to share a face. I suppose he wasn't totally to blame for that. Knowing what I know now, everything I know, and the things that I still had to figure out, I guess, in some ways, we were just strangers who shared a face. "Why would you ask me that?""Don't bullshit me, Matt," Tony's voice was firm but laced with concern. "Are you taking something?"I blinked, my brain struggling to process the question. "What do you mean, taking something?"Tony sighed, his eyes never leaving mine. "You know what I mean, Matt. Are you using drugs? Have you been taking something to... cope?"The accusation hit me like a punch to the gut. I couldn't believe that Tony would even think such a thing about me. The hurt

LucyThe classroom's fluorescent lights seemed to bore into my skull, intensifying the persistent headache that had plagued me all day. I couldn't wait to escape into the fresh air and hopefully find some relief. As soon as the professor dismissed the class, I gathered my books and made my way to the exit, my friends falling in step alongside me.Duke was whistling a soothing song. Sarah was going on about finally being free of her boring classes. "Are you riding back with us?" Michelle asked. "Or is David going to pick you up later?"I winced. Though I was happy about the evening we'd had planned, my head was killing me. "I don't know...""You could have dinner with us," Sarah said. "I think Blue is making something extra tasty."I chuckled as Amy and Sarah started to talk about what was likely on the menu. Their voices mingled into a comforting background noise around the white noise that was filling my head and the throbbing. "You okay?" Amy ask

Lucy"I told you it was a bad idea to try and take the pack back so quickly."He hissed. "And you wanted me to do what? Call those two whelps alpha? Never in this or the next life."She shook her head. "It doesn't matter how you feel about it, or what you've already done. There is no changing it. We can't afford any more delays," Selene insisted, her eyes reflecting the silver glow of the moon above. "The plan must proceed as scheduled."Oren's expression was troubled, and he ran a hand through his dark hair, mirroring a gesture I'd often seen from Matt and Tony. "Before or after we starve?""Perhaps you should stop being such a barbarian and do some work."He growled at her. "Back in my day--""I know well what it was like in our day, Oren," she said primly. "But you must learn to adapt. This age isn't one of blood and war. There are suits and deals--finances that are not increased by raiding people. You can't just go around stealing wives."He

DavidI listened intently to Lucy's account of her dream, my mind racing to process the information she was sharing. It was clear that it wasn't just an ordinary dream but a peak into Selene's mind. Her mention of Selene and Oren, the crystal necklace, and a woman named Eve had my internal alarms blaring.Having a connection to the dead was one thing, but it didn't sound like Selene was dead. More than that, she was on Oren's side. How? Why?I glanced at Trent to gauge his reaction, but before I could ask, the words died in my throat. Trent, who had been quietly attentive until then, was growing visibly paler by the second. His normally calm and composed demeanor seemed to crumble, replaced by a haunted and shaken expression. I couldn't help but be concerned for him. Trent had always been the steady presence, the one who held a vast store of knowledge about the supernatural world, and it was rare to see him rattled.I exchanged a quick glance with Amos, who sat

MattI buckled Quillan in the backseat of the car. He bounced and swung his little legs, his eyes bright with hope. "You think Mommy will be awake?""I don't know, champ," I said. "But I hope so."I got into the driver's seat and let Tony sit in the passenger seat. His fists were clenched at his side, and he was silent for the whole ride to Yellow Ridge Hospital. When we arrived, we headed inside and walked through the hospital to the ICU unit. It was in chaos. There are doctors and nurses rushing back and forth, their faces etched with worry and urgency. The waiting area is filled with people, some sobbing, others deep in conversation with worried expressions. The tension in the air is palpable. My heart sped up, and my gut felt like it had turned to lead.Quillan clung to Tony's hand, his little face a mixture of confusion and fear. His enthusiasm was replaced with uncertainty as he looked in the unfamiliar and unsettling surroundings. I could see the anxiety

MattEliza's tears spilled over, and she turned away. I walked around her. My nose twitched at the sterile scent filling the hallways. She let out a frustrated sound and darted back into my path. Her eyes filled with a mix of desperation and guilt."What now?""You look sick, Matt," Eliza said, her voice quivering. "Don't you understand that you might be upset, but you're suffering by being away from the pack for so long?"I almost laughed. Maybe I did. She looked shocked and appalled. There was a bitter irony in her words. Eliza, who had never shown genuine care for me, was suddenly concerned about my well-being? She was more desperate than I thought. I wondered what Tony told her when she accosted him outside his new place of work."It's not funny. You're so thin, and--""Don't play games, Eliza. We both know you couldn't give a damn about me, and you're one to talk. You've lost more weight than I have." I smirked. "Doesn't seem like being with the pack wou

MattPanic gripped me, but I tried to keep it at bay."Matt?" Quillan asked, his eyes wide with fear. "Y-Your nose..."Matt swallowed hard, struggling to hide his unease. "It's okay, Quillan. I'll be fine. It's just a little nosebleed."His jaw trembled, and he scrambled in his little pockets to offer me a small package of tissue. His hands were trembling. His eyes were watering. "M-Mommy... got nosebleeds."Shit. I smiled, taking a tissue and pressing it to my nose. Matt managed a small smile to reassure the child. "It's nothing to worry about. Sometimes, noses bleed for no reason at all. We just need to make sure it stops."Quillan sniffled, trying to hold back his own tears. "Will you be okay, Matt?"I gently pinched my nose at the base to stem the bleeding and tried to ignore the way the tissue continued to grow red and the taste of blood and ash in my mouth."I'll be just fine, Quillan. You'll see. It'll slow down. Thank you for worryin

PeterI couldn't remember ever liking going to a healer, but I had never been so nervous before. I sat in the healer's office, trying to keep still as I awaited the healer's return with the test results. Vasil had brought me here as soon as I was able to walk on my own. I had agreed with it, but now that I was surrounded by the sterile, clinical scent of the room, I felt uneasy. After the incident during my last date with Michelle, I didn't want to take chances. I also regretted sending her home. Her scent had been calming, her concern comforting, her presence soothing. I pulled out my phone, took a deep breath, and scrolled through the messages we had been trading since she left. How did your exam go? I asked, hoping to distract myself. She replied a few moments later, and soon, the scent of the room started to fade. As I tapped my phone, my fingers danced across the screen, and a mixture of eagerness and apprehension swirled in my chest. I still wasn't sure what

David"Take a break."I collapsed, panting, dizzy, and completely overwhelmed. What the hell had gotten into Trent? Trent had always been a force to be reckoned with, a skilled and ruthless trainer who could push me to my limits and did so on a regular basis. He didn't tend to do a lot of physical training with me, preferring to leave that to my combat classes, but he always pushed me magically. Yet, today was something else. There was something beneath his orders. His whole demeanor had changed. Amos and Hito hadn't told me what they had found out about why Trent had reacted the way he did, but it only stood to reason that Lucy's dream had been the spark of all this.Maybe Duke's, too.I rolled over, looking at him, wondering how he was still standing until I watched him, opening that second sight that came with being able to wield magic. Energy swirled around him, pouring into him in a never-ending stream of light. He was glaring down at a piece of parchm

DavidI couldn't believe it, but it made so much sense. Trent looked up at the dark sky where barely a sliver of the moon was left in the sky."And today is the perfect day to start. You know why?""Because it's heading towards the new moon... It should be when the curse is the weakest.""Ten points.""You really think it's possible?""I do," he said. "Come sit, and we'll start.""I should be exhausted, but I'm not.""Not yet, anyway," Trent said. "Tell me why you think it may work.""Dragon fire," I said. "It's in the blood, and there's nothing hotter than dragon fire. Nothing can survive it. Not even curses."I bit my lip. "But my nearest dragon shifter ancestor is... so far back... Farther back than my elven one...""So?" Trent asked. "Are you a black wolf or not?""I..." I sighed. "I thought there was a limit.""Your father had a limit because of his broken bond, but you have none."I swallowed, taking in the magnitude of t
