CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE Monday morning came around and I was waiting near the end of the line to get on the bus. Sophie was there, clearly glaring at me. But I couldn’t remember why. Was she still mad about me changing schools months ago? Get a life, girl. I got on and made myself comfortable in my first seat, putting my backpack down next to me and pulling my earbuds out. Ready to drown out the world. I was exhausted. I didn’t sleep well the night before and couldn’t remember why. I have been forgetting a lot of things lately. The bus pulled away from the curb and I closed my eyes hoping to snag a few minutes of sleep. Nick~ Well my life just blew up. Jake had spoken to the Goddess, and she had confirmed Jake and Rachel were mates. Evan’s wolf, Xavier confirmed all of that, as well as the fact that Jake had something surfacing in him that wasn’t all wolf. My mind kept racing back to the hellhound-wolf hybrid from our pack’s supposed history. I had more questions than ever. But at

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO Jake~ Something was happening to my mate. She was in a panic. I had run out of my class and was outside in the parking lot. I was just about to ignore the Goddess and run to her school when it changed. She was.. Relieved? “What’s up?” Nick asked me, he must have seen me leave campus. My face scrunched. “I’m not sure. Rachel was in trouble. But I think she’s okay now. She’s relieved.” “Are we supposed to ignore the level you can sense her right now?” Evan said from behind a few cars. “I’m not even questioning how odd and strong our Alpha is Ev, just accept that they’re different. And I have no clue how things work anymore,” Nick said, running his hand through his hair, clearly exasperated. The bell rang, the period we had just ran out of was over. “How are we supposed to focus on math and English when all this stuff is going on that we don’t know anything about?” Nick complained. I just chuckled and turned to him. “What’s got you in such a good moo

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE Ally~ Nothing. We hadn’t been able to find anything. And I was so tired of hitting dead ends. I had woken up after my connection with my grandma and been so excited to tell my mom all about it. But other than the orange stone on a necklace, we hadn’t found anything of use. And I haven’t been able to channel any help from my grandma. At least not yet. Another thing that would need to wait for my first phase. Which looked like it would be in a few days. But until then, my hands were tied. Mom and I checked out of our motel and hit the road back home. On the road my mom tried to console me with reassurances that we wouldn’t need to wait long. But I still knew that things felt wrong and I felt unconfident that I would be able to seriously help in time. I fell asleep somewhere in the desert to my mom singing along to old country songs. I dreamed about my grandma on the ride home. She was in a forest with her coven, wolves howled in the distance. The smell of the

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR Rachel~ At school the next day I met with Ms. Arnhem again, along with Mr, Chu, and my mom. Apparently after meeting with us they would be meeting with Vance and his mom. I tried to not let the thought of him in this space make me squirm. My mom was crushed when she learned about everything. I had texted Ally about needing to talk with her but all I got back was a message that she was heading back from her family emergency trip and would talk to me soon. “The school, everyone in it, is so incredibly struck by the horrible actions of this student and we want to assure you both that we are taking this very seriously,” Mr. Chu assured us several minutes into the meeting. Ms. Arnhem added for him, “Unfortunately at this point all the school can do is suspend him until we have other proof. Now if you would like, you both can pursue other actions with a lawyer. In fact, off the record, I would advise that you do. Our district is tied up in policy at this time. V

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE Rachel~ The next day at school was peaceful. I spent my break and lunch with Sean and we worked in the garden a bit. It felt nice to dig my hands into the earth. The chill in the air did not lessen the entire day. Instead it seemed to seep into my bones. I daydreamed a bit about warmth and comfort. And I felt like there was something I was forgetting, that was just on the tip of my tongue, on the crest of my mind. It felt important. Sean reassured me that I would figure it out when I figured it out, or it just wasn’t as important as I thought. But it still tugged at me. It was starting to feel safer at school now that Vance was not around. But I knew this wouldn’t last forever. I informed Sean, Maxine, Marsha, Simon and Ally about what I was told in regards to Vance’s return and how I could finally get him gone. They all devised a plan for Monday so that I would never be alone. I missed Kyle. Ally had almost brushed me off earlier today when I had asked her if

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX Rachel~ I was in the cafeteria with Angela, June and Melody. They were talking about weekend plans. Melody’s boyfriend had some friend they were trying to set up with Angela. Even though she was against the whole thing. “I can get my own man, Mel!” she yelled at her in laughter. “Well, I’ve certainly never seen that…” June commented wryly. “Hey!” Angela yelled back. Melody just smiled and looked at her phone. “Oh, you guys are too cute, it sickens me,” Angela said, waving her hand at Melody. I got a text from Ally and departed the table after saying a quick ‘see ya.’ I rushed to the library door. “Morning ladies,” Mr. Waller said as he opened the door for us. “Morning,” we greeted him. We walked into the library and back to our favorite table. “Any progress with Kyle?” I immediately asked her. “Not just yet, our plans will hopefully work out tonight,” she said, looking out the window. “Tonight?” I asked again to clarify. Ally just nodded. “Are

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN Ally~ It was five minutes until the full moon was at its highest. And I was already in pain. I was wearing the orange pendant, like my grandmother told me. But unlike anything I imagined in my mind growing up, rather than being whisked off in air like Princess Fiona in Shrek making a transformation, this was painful. My mom felt terrible. She had told me about hers, but from what she remembered it was no more painful than some period cramps. We knew mine would be different with my level of power being higher according to grandma, but yikes. “Oh Al-,” my mom said sadly at my side, “I feel so helpless, I’m sorry. Keep breathing through it, you’re nearly there. I’m going to bake you the most giant bundt cake when this is over.” I laughed and winced. Mom handed me a pillow and I squeezed into it as the next wave built. “I’m taking you up on that,” I said quickly, out of breath from biting back a scream. Two minutes to the full moon full height and the penda

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT Rachel~ I sat up in a sweat just after 3am. Flashes of a nightmare still etched into my eyelids. A large dark crow swallowed me whole. I fought and fought, but down its beak I went. I slithered down its throat and even though I tried to crawl back out but couldn’t make any progress. At last I was running out of air. That’s what forced me to wake up. The feeling that I wasn’t getting any air and was dying. I sat for a bit before trying to lay back down, turning towards the window this time. I looked out at the reflection of the moonlight on the water far down below. And I wished for an end to these nightmares. Every time I thought they were going away they came back. I stared at the ceiling for some
