Lunaya.“What is this about?” Cole asked as his eyes found mine. He stepped forward and glared at Tobias, a low growl bubbled from behind his clenched teeth.“Release her. Now!” he demanded.“I don’t take orders from you, Beta” Tobias snapped back, spitting the word ‘Beta’. Apparently Cole has upset a lot of people around here.“How do you know this she-wolf?” Gunner asked him as he pointed at me. His loud and firm voice bounced off the walls.“I took the time to speak with her. Believe it or not I take my role as Beta seriously, I'm not just going to let anyone roam around my pack” he quipped. Gunner stepped forward and pushed out his chest,“You mean MY pack” he said condescendingly.“Whatever” Cole huffed and crossed his arms over his chest.“What do you know about her?” Gunner demanded. Cole stood tall, staring

Zelena. Deciding to change the subject, in the hopes of gathering my thoughts, I lifted my head from his chest and peered up at him. “Are you going to tell me what happened in here?” I asked while looking right into his eyes. His Adams-apple bobbed as he swallowed, “What do you mean?” he mumbled, “I mean why was Tobias about to tear the head off of that Luna Eclipse she-wolf?” “Oh” Gunner replied. His eye twitched a little as he flew them around the room, looking at everything but me. “Gunner?” I questioned more firmly. “The moment she touched you, you hit the deck. We didn’t know what happened to you, so of course our first thought was that she did something. I didn’t know that you were with the Moon Goddess, I didn’t know it was just a coincidence. I thought she stabbed you or something. Tobias was quick to grab her, you know how fast he is. By the time I realised you were fine, just unconscious, he already had her by the thr

Zelena. The sky was a clear crystal blue and the bright sunlight twinkled on the top of the water. Coming to the beach was a fantastic idea. I wanted time to just relax and hang out with my friends, even if Cole was still a no show. The soft white sand felt great under my feet. I curled my toes and dug them under the sand. Smith and Nat dropped the esky and picnic basket and laid out some towels. I sat down on the edge of a towel and buried my feet into the sand. Smith stripped down to his swim shorts and Nat slid her dress down her body and let it drop at her feet. She was wearing a skimpy black string bikini that sat high up on her hips and barely covered her breasts. But hot damn does she have a banging body. Watching her I felt a little self-conscious. She is gorgeous, like a swimsuit model. Gunner stood at my side and pulled his shirt over his head before dropping it on the towel behind me. “You coming in?” he asked looking down at me, “Not yet, I want t

Lunaya. “Because I thought she was dead!” I screamed, standing to my full height, only inches from his face. “I looked! I searched for years, for any kind of sign that she was alive. I looked at each and every corpse of my fallen pack mates, I searched every burned-out house and every pile of bodies. I looked!” I was screaming in his face. My body was alive with emotions, grief, guilt and rage. “They were hunters! How was I meant to know that they kept her alive? How dare you accuse me of giving up, how dare you accuse me of coming after her power. She is my child. I never gave up. I mourned for my family every single day”. I hadn’t realised that I was being held back by Alyse and Elaine. If it weren’t for them, I would have lunged at the kid. My claws were out and my teeth had descended. He watched me with a stoic expression, but his eyes held the truth, he was surprised by my outburst. Tears streamed down my face in hot waves of painful memories. Th

Lunaya. My eyes fluttered open and I flew upright on the bed. I’m in a bedroom, not the tent, and I’m alone. I grabbed my neck but the wound was gone, completely healed over. Meaning I have been here for at least a few hours. I have been dressed in a large black t-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants. I stood up and walked out of the bedroom door, I headed down a hallway and to a large staircase. At the bottom of the staircase was the foyer, the only part of this huge house that I recognised. I focused my hearing and heard a scurry of voices coming from a door on the left, Alyse’s voice was one of them. I pushed the door open, and all eyes turned to me. Beta Cole, Alyse, Elaine, Phoebe, Romeá, her Mate Lupus, the she-wolf Faylene and a warrior whose name I hadn’t learnt yet, all stood looking at me. “Hello” I said awkwardly, “Nae, you’re alright?” Alyse asked as she stepped forward and placed her small hands on my cheeks. I put my hands over hers and smiled,
