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
VioletIt’s late by the time I get back home. Cora fell asleep in the living room and I place a blanket over her before retreating to my part of the house. I’m unable to rest so I look at the bookshelf in my room and suddenly, I feel rather sad as I think of my mother.Cora said that my mom was always journaling and I have memories of her doing it. When I would ask her why she would shrug and tell me different things. Sometimes she’d say it’s because she wants to remember this, other times she would tell me it’s so I could read later.I’ve never been able to get the courage to open them. I’ve touched them. I’ll run my hands over the leather covers, but when it comes to flipping open the book and seeing her handwriting… I chicken out every time. I guess I’m scared because I know they’re her last words in there and once I read them it’s like she’s really gone and there’s nothing new I can learn from her.Today is different thought. Today, I turned 18 and I fully came into my wolf and t
VioletCora wants me to go live at the Renegade Pack. Now that I have gained my wolf and gotten used to having her for a month she is pushing for me to leave.I hate it, I’ve enjoyed this past month now that she’s actually training me. Magic comes naturally to me, I don’t know if it’s because I’m the white wolf or because there’s something in my lineage, but whatever it is, it’s fun!Cora thinks right now is a good time for me to bond with my cousin, Magnolia. She’s going to turn 18 in 2 months and is going to become the first Female Alpha. Magnolia and I have a special bond that goes deeper than just being cousins. I am the white wolf, but she is the guardian wolf. I’m not quite sure how all of it works, I’ve been trying to read about it in my mom’s journals, but I don’t think she knows much about the guardian wolf role either.Pretty much in our family, the white wolf can only be born from the white wolf. But the white wolf always needs a guardian, someone whose sole purpose is to
HenryMagnolia’s birthday can’t come soon enough. Seriously, how has she not figured out that I’m her mate yet?We grew up together. And to be honest, I have been in love with her pretty much my entire life. I have never viewed her as a sister. Things have never been platonic to me.Unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same way. She has always called me her 'bro' or has even tried to set me up with other girls. But I don't want any other girl, I only want her and that's the way it has always been and the way it will always be. I just don't know how to prove to her that she should give me a shot, especially before her birthday.We're still a couple of months away from her birthday and I don't know how much longer I can wait to kiss her. But I don't want her to have any regrets about me.She randomly spouts off, "How much longer are you going to stare at me?"I didn't even realize I was staring at her. I say, "Sorry."She huffs as she shakes her head, "Is there something wrong with me? L
VioletI watch the rain drops on the window as Cora drives us to the Renegade Pack. The day started out sunny, but slowly turned rainy, it’s like the weather reflected my state of mind.Cora sighs as she’s noticed the change in my mood and says, “You’re going to enjoy being here, Violet. I’m not far away, I can be here at any time whenever you need me.”“Yeah.” I mumble in response and she sighs in a melancholy way because I’m being so unresponsive. I look forward to being around Magnolia, but I have enjoyed my life with Cora and I have enjoyed getting to learn about magic. Knowing that all of that is coming to a screeching halt makes me sad. We pull up to the pack and the patrol wave and nod at us in acknowledgement. We’ve visited enough times that all of patrol know who we are.Cora smiles as we pull up to the pack house and immediately my uncle, Alpha Maven, my aunt, Luna Amelia, the Beta couple Bennett and Grace, along with my cousin Magnolia, Henry the Beta’s son, and his younge
