When I woke up, Adrien was sleeping next to me. Watching a werewolf sleep was a compliment, as they generally didn't need to sleep more than a few hours a day and were never supposed to let their guard down. However, Adrien was a lover of naps, especially with me by his side. I had to get ready to go to school, but I wanted to enjoy being in Adrien's arms a little more. I felt so comfortable with a peace that I rarely enjoyed. I felt him stir, knowing that time was beginning to pass and that we had to get ready to go to school. The day that was coming upon us seemed to be much more eventful than usual. Today I will have a serious conversation with my great friend. Maybe I even had to reveal what I am and what her new love interest was. It wouldn't be easy, but I trusted her. Ainsley had to believe me. After all, I am her best friend and the only thing I wanted was her well-being. And if

 The wounds on my arms, despite what I expected, began to heal. The fire enveloped me warmly. Delicate and smooth. I felt comfortable, as if I were some kind of wolf made for fire. At first I was scared, terrified. How not to be? I was engulfed in fire. I had to take several deep breaths to process it, while both Health Dominique and Ainsley stared at me. Thanks to the fire, I was able to observe the place with greater attention. It was definitely a basement. The ceiling was high and there was not a single window that could illuminate the place. There were more chains than I thought and it placed all over the place, as if he was prepared to hold at least ten people captive. Ainsley had serious bruises on her face, her arm seemed dislocated and she was bleeding from the chains. I myself had a serious wound on my leg, my arms, on fire, and I had the marks left by the chains on me. I knew I had bruises all over

Gabriel.  "She's my sister," I replied, tired of having the same argument over and over again. "I'm not going to give up."  "You're hurting yourself." He shook his head. "Many years have passed. You should focus on starting your search for your mate."  "Mate?" I laughed mockingly. "I'm not interested in something like that."  "Come on, Gabriel," he exasperated. "Are you going to spend the rest of your life looking for a person who may not even remember you?"  "Don't you remember me?" I frowned. "Why shouldn't he remember me?"  He became visibly nervous. He started to sweat a little, even the magic around him went haywire for a second. Strange. "I mean, if she remembered you, she'd be looking for you," he tried to justify. "It does not matter. If she d

  "Easy, Ainsley," I murmured in her ear. "Everything is fine, you are safe now."    "I put you in danger!" she mourned. "Seeing him attack you was so maddening. I wanted to help you, I wanted to be the one to send you away."    "I don't even fully understand how we are here."   "He did it," she tried to explain. "He saw the earthquake he was causing and sent us to safety."    "I don't understand," Adrien chimed in.   Gabriel kept his head down and quiet throughout the conversation. While Adrien stood with his arms crossed and his brow furrowed. I was supposed to talk to my brother, but now I was focused on Ainsley.   "What do you mean?"    "It's a bit of a human explanation, I don't know how to explain this to you. Let's say there are two people in his body, one of them is Allen Samuel, the evil being who

I flushed with embarrassment. Yes, I might have asked something stupid, but I was really curious.   "Sorry." He wiped away a tiny tear that was escaping his eye. "It's just that I imagined my son being a moon and I couldn't stop laughing. That's what wedding rings are for, dear Estelle. You will be the moon of your pack and originally its Alpha. However, Adrien will also be the Alpha. Do you get it? Let's say you will have the same position. A complement."   "Is the reason why my pack failed to advance because I was here?" I asked, feeling that I had let them down.   "Yes," he agreed with pity in his eyes. "They were doomed for a while, but they'll be fine. They will arrive in a couple of days. They have been delayed by some internal fights, from what I heard, but everything is resolved."    "And what am I supposed to do?"   "To be the best moon ever." He put his hand on my
