QuirinaI have to get out. I have to find help. I don’t know what I’m going to do… they’ll figure it out as soon as I leave the mansion and then I’ll be captured before I get anywhere close to the pack borders.My mind is reeling as I rush from one room to the next hopefully getting further from the danger but honestly who knows? I’m running on instinct here.I need to find my family, all of them. Because regardless if we’re blood related or not, we are all family. I try to reach out through the mind link but I huff in frustration as I realize no one is connecting with me.I let out a low grumble and then focus on my surroundings. I haven’t found a single room with a window for me to look outside, I haven’t run into anyone. This is a little too suspicious, wouldn’t there be a lot of people looking for me? My eyes flicker around the room, trying to uncover some answer that I haven’t been able to figure out yet. And my body tenses when I figure out the reason. There’s a camera, it’s sm
QuirinaI think most people would find it odd if I told them that I actually thrive off of chaos. But the moment that I zapped the cameras and everything went down, I took off running. I could hear the whole mansion as it descended into chaos. Everyone complaining, trying to keep guard of their current prisoners, and trying too figure out what the hell happened to me.I can’t help but smirk to myself as I run. I don’t know where I’m going or what exactly I’m doing, but I’ve caused enough chaos that I have time to search without instantly getting caught. I find a stairwell and run down it as fast as my legs can carry me. The first door I see on my right, I open to turn into only to be instantly met by a group of five warriors. I close the door back and take off running back down the stairs, I hear them behind me. Fear is gripping my heart now as I am more panicked than before.I enjoy chaos, but I don’t enjoy the adrenaline that comes with it. It makes me struggle to think clearly and
BryceThe door opened and we had been expecting more guards or for more prisoners. But now, Phoenix Stone walks into the room.All the guards that had been sitting without a care in the world suddenly stand at attention. I watch in fascination as dark black swirls crawl up Phoenix’s arms and he smirks, “If I were you, I would lock yourself in one of the cages. Or else I’ll make you crumble like the rest of them.”Most of the guards seemed concerned as soon as he said that. Everyone has heard of what Alpha Stone is capable of, and everyone knows that he would do anything for his family and for the legacy he had created. But there’s a couple of guards who doubt him. And one asks, “What do you mean by the rest of them?”Phoenix gives the most wicked smile I’ve ever seen, it’s almost bone-chilling in it’s ruthlessness as he says, “You would not be my first death of day. Now, I will count to five and whoever is out of the cells, well… we’ll get to have some fun.”After that announcement p
QuirinaBryce, Charlie, and Harper and I headed home after only two days after the fight. There weren’t many survivors left that were a part of the trafficking ring, but there were tons of kids in the school. My parents along with Magnolia and Hendrix are meeting up with other pack leaders and trying to split up the rest of the people appropriately. There will be no more Supernatural Academy and no more trafficking.I mean, we know it’s impossible to completely abolish all trafficking, but we have done our part and this has helped to take down a huge contributor. I’m ready to be back home, the desire to be some place familiar and to unwind after all the recent events. Bryce had marked me, but I still haven’t marked him, it hasn’t felt right. He’s practically buzzing and glowing with some energy he has now. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know he received some of the powers that I absorbed.I haven’t even discovered everything I absorbed in that moment. I was so desperate to be
Five Months Later.QuirinaBryce and I officially became the Alpha and Female Alpha of the Moon Stone Pack three months ago. Annabelle and Franklin became our Beta couple, Hiro and Hazel became our Gamma couple, and Rowan and Winnie are enjoying not having as many responsibilities.All the issues we previously had with Hazel completely disappeared when she finally accepted Hiro as her mate. Because when he marked her, he was able to take away her gift. He holds her power and give it back to her if she ever wants it, but she seems thrilled about no longer seeing when people will die.Mom and dad still live at the pack house, but they are enjoying no longer being in charge and getting to fully focus on Felicity. I don’t know if they’ll ever go anywhere without her again because she has struggled with separation anxiety ever since they returned home.My biological parents have come to visit me and to meet the rest of my family. I talk with them at least 3 times a week, they are perfectly
Violet My bare feet pound against the forest floor as I run. My feet hurt as it gets scraped by stones and sticks and the goddess only knows what else, but I have to keep running.My dad pushes on my back as he urges me forward and says, “Keep going, Vi.”His encouragement is just another reminder of the danger that we're in. I nod my head in acknowledgement as I try to push myself forward. This would be so much easier if I had my wolf, then I’d be able to run like the wind! But I’m only 15 and there’s no way for me to shift.Mom suddenly cries out and there’s a victorious laughter behind her. Dad yanks my arm back, causing me to stumble and almost collide with the ground, but he catches me and keeps me steady. His eyes are shining with worry and he brushes my hair from my face as he says, “Listen to me, Violet. You need to keep running. Do not stop, no matter what! And no matter what you hear, do not look back. Okay, baby?”My eyes flicker back to where I hear mom and her cries of st
VioletIt’s been three years since I lost my parents.The trial run with Cora went well enough that she allowed me to move with her permanently. But I went to be with my relatives at the Renegade Pack a few times throughout the year. I would normally go and stay with them for a month at a time. My Uncle Maven and Aunt Amelia are the Alpha and Luna of the Renegade Pack. Amelia was my mom’s twin sister, and honestly, they are great people. They offered for me to come live with them permanently multiple times, but I always denied. It's not where I belong. I've never been a part of a pack and I don't think that will ever change.I know it hurts their feelings that I don’t want to live with them, but I have my reasons. There’s not a doubt in my mind that Xavier will come looking for me. He’s a greedy bastard and I don’t think he’ll quit hunting for me even though he got my parents. I'm the current white wolf and that's enough to make him chase me for the rest of my days. That's why I have
VioletI’m 18 now. Shifting hopefully won’t hurt as badly anymore, but I won’t know until I do it again. Honestly, a part of me is nervous about doing it. What if it still hurts? What if it always does?It doesn’t cause just me pain; it causes Selene pain too, and it makes her feel more winded. She’s not nervous like I am, though. She’s excited and ready to be let loose. But I’m holding back. I’m scared of being let down. I sit at the table and stir the honey into my tea when Cora walks in. She smiles at me as she says, “How’s the birthday girl doing this morning?”I give her a small smile in return as I say, “I’m okay. You know, I’ve been thinking…”“Hmm, about what?” She asks as she takes a seat across from me and sips on her own cup of tea. I say, “I’m going to message Uncle Maven and see if I can move in right before Magnolia’s birthday. That way, I’m not taking them off guard and I can have a few more months here, just the two of us.”Her eyes narrow at me and she shakes her head
