All Chapters of Under the Blue Cold Moon: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

NayaI felt uneasy as I drove to Danika’s house to pick her up for training. I wouldn’t say I liked that I snapped at Reed, but I also hated the predicament he and Theron put me in with Kamari. Not only that, but I felt anxious driving to training this morning for some reason. Sienna must have felt whatever was happening in the air, too, because she was shifty this morning.“Somethings coming, Naya, I can feel it,” Sienna confessed to me on our drive to the other side of town to Danika’s.“I know, I feel it too. But what”? I asked Sienna through our mind link.“You think Kamari has to do with the tension rising around town? I hate to admit it, but things have shifted since she came.” I knew Sienna liked Kamari like I did, but something was off with her timing in coming here. There was something she wasn’t telling us. Plus, we were werewolves, and the pack came first. Always.“I don’t know, she’s just a human, but even Theron acts strange around her. We’ll find out some answers today a

KamariWow, this place was gorgeous. I’ve been to some fancy clubs in LA, but this place put them to shame. Whoever was responsible for the decorations here needed to come to my house and fix the old girl up. Instead of the usual sitting area, they had white table-clothed tables with gorgeous floral centerpieces surrounded by glowing tea light candles. The ceiling had a massive crystal chandelier in the center of the dance floor, with little lights dangling out in a cascade across the ceiling. The lights were all dimmed, making the candles on the wall pieces stand out more.If I hadn’t known any better, I would have thought I was in an ancient castle’s ballroom instead of the school auditorium. I looked over at the dressed-up bar fed with candlelight to see a wall of delicate decanter bottles in front of a mirror. The bartenders were all dressed in suits, and the light reflected off the candles, turning it into an intimate landscape. I scanned the bar, admiring the attention to detail

TheronZale and Zane let out a howl, alerting the crowd we’re set to run. The whole dance party howled back as one as we all began to shift and run out the door. Theron nodded to me with a pained look, like he was still assessing all that just went down.“You alright, bro?” I asked, feigning ignorance of what I just witnessed.“Yeah, just...drunk. You got me wasted, you asshole,” he said, punching me in the shoulder, acting light-hearted.“Well, let Hoku take over for a bit; I know Arkyn is chomping at the bit, trying to get out.” I laughed, pulling Theron to the door.“I’ll chomp you if you don’t let me out!” Arkyn pushed forward, shifting and sprinting out into the full moonlit night. Hoku flew past me a minute later, and we were off, sprinting and passing through the trees. We quickly caught up to the pack and took the lead in front of Thorac and Thorr, the twin wolves. You could hear howling echo through the forest as the pack ran as fast as we could, thriving in the moonlit night

OrionWhen I woke up to the sound of rain, snuggled up to the human girl, I could finally feel a little strength return to my body. I vaguely remember moving up to sleep by her last night when I felt her jolt in her sleep, but that was only vague. I had been slumped here on the human’s bed for days while I slept off the poison. I knew it would be a few more days till I could shift back into my humanoid form, not that it would matter when I could. I was sent here by the priestess herself with specific details.“Protect the human,” she demanded. “at all cost. Don’t let yourself be known to her, but keep an eye on her and get rid of whatever it was that’s infiltrated the wall.” She knew something was placed but needed to figure out what. The extra layer of protection on the house alerted her of something foreign just outside the boundary. How it got there to begin with was still being looked into. When I arrived, I cursed at the old braud and my luck.The Raven-clawed bush was covered in

After a vigorous warm-up of stretches, bodyweight exercises, and kickboxing-type movements in the air, we walked out to an open field where the football team was already training. I immediately found Theron and Reed going at it in a large, chalked-out circle on the grass. Theron almost looked as if he was deliberately trying not to look at me. Reed saw me and caught my eye, nodding to me. He had been running around town yesterday morning and caught up to me. We exchanged small talk about how the dance mainly was, then tried to race me in a sprint by my house. He won, of course, but barely. I decided I liked Reed. He was a good guy and someone I didn’t have to fear. Arrogant as hell still, but a good guy.I ran into Naya, knocking me out of my stupor as the squad team stopped at a place with several large circles scattered closely around each other. Around each circle were a couple of sets of pads. Ms. Swan yelled out who would be pairing up with whom. Thankfully, she paired me with Na
