Foul Play

Gonzalo left the bakery. He glanced across the street towards the restaurant, hope fluttering in his chest. He thought that he could maybe catch a glimpse of River. But the fading light and the bustling crowd outside obscured any view.He didn't see shit.He groaned, turned his back on the restaurant, and headed towards Doctor Sofia's house. As he approached the house, he saw her sitting on the porch with a cigarette dangling from her lips. Her face which was earlier composed and professional, held a hint of surprise when she saw him.Whoa; Gonzalo thought– he didn't know she smoked. She didn't look like one who did. Or perhaps, could that be her way of dealing with her grief?"Early back from work, aren't you, Alpha?" she greeted him, blowing out a plume of smoke. "Did the bakery close down already?"Gonzalo chuckled in a little too strained way. "No, the bakery's open. My boss, well, let me off early so I could check on Rourke."“Oh, that's very nice of him, I must say.” Sofia chuck

Two More Gone

Sofia's voice dropped to a whisper as she leaned forward. "It might sound absurd, Gonzalo, but hear me out. What if there's a traitor in our midst? Right here in my pack. Someone high up in the Ironclaw pack who's been feeding information to the rogues?"A traitor in the Ironclaw pack? What gain could they possibly achieve from betraying their people? For all he knew, wolves were dying everywhere in the hands of those feral rogues.He scoffed. "A traitor? That's a serious accusation, Sofia. We're all hurting here. The rogues are attacking everyone, not just the Moonstone pack. People in the Ironclaw pack are also hurting.”"I understand your point, believe me," she said, and a plume of circled smoke followed. "My husband was one of those killed recently, I'm sure I have mentioned that earlier."Her words struck a chord with Gonzalo. He remembered the grief etched on her face when he emerged wearing her late husband’s clothes arrived.He flinched and a wave of sympathy washed over him

Bigger and Better

Gonzalo stared at the two graves as he stood with Sofia beside Rourke and Pym’s grave. They had done what they could to hurry the two. No investigation would be done on their deaths as it would all eventually be concluded as ‘rogue attacks’.Sincerely, no one cared here. No one. They weren't even members of this pack. Any fuss and Echo might just send them off.With a final and tearful goodbye, Gonzalo turned to Sofia with a voice that was hoarse with sentiments. "Thank you, Sofia. For everything."Sofia nodded and her already dull eyes were clouded with sorrow. "They deserved a proper burial, Gonzalo. And you deserve some time to grieve. We'll find out who did this, Gonzalo. I promise."The last light of day was fading. It was time for him to return to the packhouse, to face whatever awaited him there. He nodded grimly at Sofia. There was something about how much he believed those words for he wouldn't stop until he found who did it, truly."I should get back," he said, sniffing back

Wolf Blood

River~~Annemarie was only confusing her further. The idea of needing werewolf blood and hunting rogues didn't quite sit well with her. She has had a couple of violent moments in her life but all she sought now was peace. As her mind reeled. "Rogues? Hunting rogues? But... but those bastards are dangerous! They're outlandish creatures!" She queried.Annemarie snorted at her words. "Dangerous, yes. But darling, are you underestimating us? We're witches, and powerful ones at that. We can handle a couple of rogue wolves."“But why?" River interjected. "There has to be another way. Please, let's not go seek trouble in its abode.”Tara stepped forward and placed a hand on River’s shoulder. "River, trust us. We know what we're doing. This isn't just about the hunt. Think of it as your initiation, a way to learn to control your own magic. It would be a lesson for you. We want to help you, River. But you must first help yourself. Or perhaps, want to help yourself.” River's eyes darted betw

Hunting Rogues

River's heart rate was probably loud enough for anyone who cared to listen as she finally choked out, "Alright, what next?" A hand clamped over her mouth, stifling her question. "Shh!" Annemarie’s voice hissed from behind, startling River. Relief would have washed over her as she recognized the familiar voice but that relief was quickly curdled into confusion. Where had they come from? Where were they? She could hear the voice but not see the owner. "Annemarie? Tara?" she stammered, eyes darting around. And then, two figures emerged from the shadows of the towering trees. It was Annemarie and Tara. River yelped in surprise, but Annemarie quickly shushed her again. "Silence, child," Annemarie whispered with a low and urgent voice. "I sense at least six rogues ahead. Any noise and they'll be upon us faster than you can blink." River's apprehension spiked. "Wait," she whispered back, "if you were scared of drawing attention, why are we here at all then?” Finn stepped forward an

Unleashed Powers

Terror squeezed River's lungs as the rogue lounged for her. But before she could even scream, Tara was there. With a flick of her wrist, a shimmering blue net materialized around the wolf and trapped it before it could pounce on River. "Use your emotions, River!" Tara shouted, her voice hardly audible over the thrashing of the trapped beast as it struggled to get freed. Another rogue somehow managed to be freed from the spell and it lunged at River. By the moons, why her? River’s breaths seized. It seemed they were aiming for the easier target. Panic froze her limbs when this one successfully threw her on the floor in a very sickening thud. The beast's claws raked across her arm in slash and a stinging pain seared through her. She stumbled up and back again, crashing onto the damp earth. A throaty roar echoed through the trees as the enraged wolf tore free of Tara's net. Holy hell, those beasts were powerful, it seemed. No wonder they were able to take over Gonzalo’s pack; River

Dark Magic

Through the haze of dizziness, River saw Tara kneeling beside her. Her face was contorted with concern. "River, are you alright?" Tara asked gently.River could only nod weakly as she was unable to find the strength to speak.Suddenly, a soft glow emanated from Tara's fingertips. As Tara touched River's wound, a soothing warmth spread through her arm, pushing back the pain. The gash slowly closed, leaving behind only a faint pink scar.Wow. Tara could heal too?"That should do it," Tara said, her touch lingering for a moment. "You scared the living daylights out of us, you know that?"A weak smile tugged at River's lips. "I… I didn't mean to," she mumbled."No, I don't think you did," Tara chuckled softly. "But you did good, River. Real good."Annemarie also chirped in. “You have more power within you than you know. I told you that you are not just any witch. Do you believe me now?”River looked down at her hands, still trembling slightly. "I— I don't understand," she whispered.

The Ritual

River's mind was a ball of confusion and indecision as she met Annemarie's gaze. "Rain doesn't need to perform this ritual," she blurted out finally. She would not expose her daughter to darkness. Annemarie's brow furrowed. "What do you mean, child? The ceremony requires us to mask both your scents, not just yours. Or do you not want her human scent masked?” "But you said it has to be renewed every month," countered River, trying to be logical. "wouldn't it be pointless for Rain? She is still so young. Her wolf won't awaken for years, not until puberty. Surely people won't suspect anything if she doesn't have the wolf scent yet. They will take it as her wolf not being awakened yet.” Tara stepped forward with her expression uncharacteristically serious. "River, are you absolutely sure about this? Rain is part of this now. We can't leave her human scent exposed." Well, what they didn't know was that Rain didn't have a human scent. Rain was an Alpha’s daughter. Rain was a Luna. Rive

Belonging

For the first time since then, River felt a sense of belonging, a connection to something bigger than herself. She had always been cast away. Always on the search for her true purpose. For where she belonged and maybe she had found it. The fear and confusion that had gripped her slowly began to recede and was soon replaced by a sense of intent. Without realizing it, she joined the chant, her voice blending with the others. The words themselves held no meaning, yet they resonated within her like a profound, crude language stirring from within her soul. Little Leo had his eyes wide with fascination. He carefully tilted the vial, allowing a single drop of blood to fall into the center of the circle. As it touched the stone, it erupted in a sudden burst of flame that startled even the seasoned witches. The fire, however, was short-lived. It morphed into a swirling cloud of smoke, tinged with a surreal silver color. River’s breath seized. Beautiful. The smoke that emanated from t

The Bad Man

As sleep finally claimed her, River held her daughter tight while a promise bloomed in her heart - she would protect Rain, no matter the cost. The weight of her responsibilities pressed down on her, but this wasn't the time to cower. She was a witch now, and she would find the strength within herself to be the protector Rain needed. Also, to be the protector her people needed. Echo had failed them. Echo had failed their parents. The next morning… … Sunlight streamed through the window, its golden stripes lining across the floor. Rain was already awake, seated on the windowsill, her chin resting on her hands as she gazed out at the street below while glaring at a certain figure ahead. River, however, stirred much later. The exhaustion of the previous night was not done taking its toll on her. She groaned as she stretched while all the memories of the night before flooded back to her. Annemarie’s words; “You are a powerful witch.” Continued to echo in her head. Wrong though. She
