Lucy"I'm so sorry, sweetheart," she said. "I-If I'd know what was going to happen... If I'd known..."She reached for me, wrapping her arms around me. Her scent enveloped me, and for a moment, I was a child again in a room I barely remembered, cuddled close to her. Her sobs vibrated against my cheek. Her embrace felt so real, warm, and so familiar. A flickering firelight danced on the nursery walls, painting shadows that stretched and danced. I was bundled in a fleecy blanket that smelled just like her and another scent. Her hands traced soothing circles on my back. Nearby, a low voice hummed a low tune. Was it a lullaby? I couldn't make out the words, but I knew the voice belonged to my father."You've had such a day, haven't you, little one?" She whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "It'll be alright."His voice, low and warm, filled with concern, came from behind me. I felt his presence drawing closer, his warmth. I could smell him."She knows,

LucyMy heart lurched into my throat. I almost jumped from the table. What was she doing here? Was she going to tell me to go back to them? Was all of this just a trick by Selene?Eve's expression remained calm as she met my gaze. There was none of the malic I was used to from Selene in her gaze, but that could just be a trick. I couldn't put it past Selene to be using all of this against me, to be watching. "I'm not going back," I said stiffly. "I—""You misunderstand," Eve said gently. I went still meeting her gaze, and there was a flicker of something in her eyes that made me stay silent. "If any of us has reason to want Oren and that bitch dead more than anything, it's me and you."I frowned, searching her gaze for a lie, but she wasn't lying. "Your mother was murdered. Your will-be mother-in-law gave her life to thwart Selene, and I..." Eve swallowed and dropped her gaze. "Endured... The four of us are the most recent and most direct victims

TonyWhat lie would he tell? Would I even be able to tell it was a lie? He frowned. Then, he snickered. “Right. My adventure. Well, after I got chased into the subway by Cline and his merry band of would-be kidnappers, a nice old lady directed me to a bookstore across town. Not sure how she did it, but she kept them from finding me.”I narrowed my eyes. "She was a supernatural.""A witch." He pulled the book out of a drawer, dropping it on the counter with a grin. “Sorry to say, but running for my life kicked my ass. I passed out on the couch.”I frowned, pulling the book across the counter to me as Matt kept pulling stuff out of the cabinets.“A bookstore?” He hummed. I skimmed the cover. “Potion Efficacy for the Everday…” He hummed. As I flipped through the pages, I realized that it was more of a potions textbook than a recipe book, though a lot of the dishes were ones that Matt had made. The beef stew from the night before was inside. I scanned the p

MattI did my best not to laugh, cry, or growl with frustration on the ride there. That woman was still hanging around. Moon Goddess, my ass. Instead, I asked Quillan about which Power Ranger he wanted to be. The Crescent Festival would be the day before Halloween, so we had a bit of time. Tony pulled up to walk Quillan inside the daycare, and my communication watch chimed with a message. Do you have time today?I narrowed my eyes. Depends on what for?I'm taking you to get fitted for the Festival.I grimaced and glanced out the window. I haven't decided to go.Do you really think that Tony isn't going to go? I was under the impression you weren't going to let him walk into that shitstorm alone.I bit my lip. I'll check with him, but I'll need a ride, probably.Done. I'll pick you up.Tony got back in the car with a deep breath, resting his head on the headrest. "That bad?"He shook his head. "Just… Getting oddly easier and harder…

TonyMy face throbbed, and my ears were still ringing as I looked down at her. The sterile scent of I had completely forgotten about Ginevra's sister, much the same way I had forgotten her, but seeing her now cut through all of the haze, and my stomach plummeted with guilt. She looked exhausted, harried, like she'd been tearing her hair out. Hadn't Ginevra said once that Nora always tried to be as polished as possible? She was in sales for some cosmetic brands. It was part of her job to look the part. "Tony?" Matt said, pulling me from my thoughts. "I…" I cleared my throat. "I'm sorry, Nora. There were security concerns. It slipped my mind.""Slipped. Your. Mind?" She snarled, eyes glittering with fury. "Ginevra's my sister, you overgrown coyote! How dare you—""I know," I said. "It's… It's been a whirlwind. That's not an excuse; it's just an explanation. As Matt said, it's fixable. She's—""Fixable," she spat. "And the last three years? When you knoc

LucyI lunged out of bed and tumbled to the ground with a hard thud, and grunted. My phone chimed again with a message from Duke.Everything okay? You weren't at the usual spot.I grabbed my phone and texted back as I untangled myself and jumped to my feet to get dressed, hoping I wouldn't be too late.I wasn't even sure if my shoes or socks matched. Was I wearing pants or shorts? Had I even put a bra on? Did it matter? I grabbed my bag, checked to be sure all my assignments were in there, grabbed whatever looked easiest to eat, and raced downstairs. There was no way I was going to make it, was there?I reached the ground floor of the stairs and groaned. There was no way I would make it there on the bus, not even in a car. What was I going to do? Running late? Duke asked. You still have your Moving Ring, right? I can meet you at the landing area.I blinked. I'd forgotten all about it. I fumbled for it, trying to activate it properly. It took a

LucyExcitement and apprehension warred within me. I could feel the heat of his body because we were so close. My stomach flipped at the feeling, but I think I was more nervous than scared. David wouldn't hurt me. He wouldn't force me. He wouldn't do anything unless he was sure that I wanted it too… And somehow, that made me want it more. I smiled at him, reaching out to wrap my arms around him for a hug. He pulled me close, cradling the back of my head in his hand. "It's like you knew I wanted to see you."He chuckled. "I always want to see you. Are you alright?"I hummed and nodded. "Just... soaking up a little warmth."Suddenly, he got warmer, like a low-banked fire was just beneath his skin. The haze over my memories started to clear."Is that new?""Something like that," he said. "You must have had quite the night.""Can we talk about it later? I'm... comparing notes with Duke later.""Sounds good. I pulled back, looking up at him. "May

LucyThe locker room air felt sticky against my skin, clinging to me even though I had cooled down a lot. My body was thrumming with his presence. My fingers trembled slightly as I wrestled with the combination lock, the metallic click a welcome distraction from the thrilling heat that lingered in me."I can't believe he has any interest in you."I frowned and turned my head, looking at the young woman standing a few lockers down."Me either."She blinked, and I pulled out my bag and headed out. Emerging into the hallway, I found Tom, David, and Duke already waiting, their silhouettes bathed in the warm glow of overhead lanterns. Despite the casual banter bouncing between them, I couldn't shake the feeling that things were different. "Ready?" David asked.I nodded, slipping my hand into his and walking with him. We got into one of the Escort SUVs and rode toward the Blood Moon Estate. Tom and Duke were chatting behind us, and it made me smile, listening

TonyYellow Ridge receded in the rearview mirror as I drove. My stomach eased, and I dare say I was getting hungrier. Luckily, Matt had packed me lunch. What was in it didn't matter, but I had the strangest craving for a gigantic steak and a side of that pasta he'd made a few nights ago, potions and all. I was probably going to eat whatever it was long before lunch, but that didn't matter. The dull ache in my chest was more than enough to distract me from the hunger pains. Why had I forgotten so much? How had I forgotten so much? And to have it all come back now, just when it was almost certain that I was going to lose Ginevra? It was so unfair. My knuckles whitened around the steering wheel, and the echo of Arwen's taunt about Matt buzzed in my ears. It wasn't jealousy, not entirely. More a primal unease, my wolf's instinct was sniffing out a shift in the pack dynamics. Matt was drawing further and further away from me, and it unnerved me. The question was if I even had a

TonyAs I stepped into the sterile confines of the meeting room, I felt every cell in my body go on alert. It was like I was seeing Oren and Cline, truly, for the first time. Threats. Danger. Kin.How had I never noticed how similar Cline looked to Oren? They could have been brothers. Were they? I had no idea. Oren had never talked about having family beyond us. A wolf howled at the pack of my head, a warning and a battle cry. War had been an apt way to describe this, and Oren looked like he had already won. The bastard wouldn't be winning a damn thing if I had anything to say about it. I didn't bother to shake either of their hands. I took a seat across from Cline, leaving the seat across from Oren for Mr. D'Amico. His eye twitched, and then his eyes narrowed. Cline shifted, looking oddly stuffed in his suit. Both of them looked like the suits were wearing them like they were just pretending to be civil, but that was because they were. I glared at Cline, who didn'
