Twenty-three: Fist Fight
"I'm hungry" I complain as I walk into the kitchen. Mikki cocks her head and me, her eyes tied.
"Your one to talk" she sighs."What are you talking about?" I ask wondering over the toaster to put some bread in when Carson suddenly hits my hand."I'm making porridge. And you're going to eat it, sit down" she tisks like I was a naughty kid. I turn around and slump into the chair beside Mikki."I didn't eat last night" she replies as she folds her arms onto the table and rests her head on them."Why didn't you eat?" I ask. Casually casting a glance towards Ember, who sat at the dining table, made me feel sad. Ally was paying no attention to her, and Ally was the type of person to talk to everyone. Guilt coils inside me and I look away. I saw the reason everyone was avoiding her. I should have kept my stupid mouth shut."Are you listening?" Mikki waves a hand in my face, her voice brisk."Yeah, I am now."Mikki stares atRelated chapters
Moon Night Twenty-four: Dog and Wolf
I fade into the forest, welcoming the shadows as they consoled me. Scents washed over me, first the animals that were close, trees and dirt then something different. I pause where I stood, one paw raised as I smell the air."Shana!" The shout startles me into nearly dropping to the ground. Recognizing the voice I follow it, winding my way through the trees slowly, and my heart in my ears and my breathing uneven. "Shana! Came here, girl!" called another voice.I spot my dad as I creep between the bushes. His hands cupped his mouth as he shouted out the family dog's name. A few feet away was Max, his hand identical to my fathers as he shouted out Shana's name. My dad whistles loudly, causing my ears to flatten at the high frequency.I hear Shana before I saw her. Her paws made soft thuds over the ground and a second later she squeezed out from a bush and greeted my dad by barrelling him over, her yaps of a greeting making him laugh. They feel into the sn
Moon Night Twenty-five: I Deserve It
"Are feeling okay?" I ask Ember worriedly. She was leaning her shoulder against the wall and a faint look of queasiness had washed her face out. She turned her tanned face towards me, her eyes vulnerable."Fine" she says calmly as Sky pads down the hall. One he's out of ear shot she shakes her head. "I feel sick" she says softly and guides herself along the wall towards her bedroom door."Are you going to be sick...?" I ask sheepishly.Ember wags her head, a weak smile on her face. "No...I just...need to sleep"Glancing down the hallway I find we were the only one's upstairs. "Is it the....you know...." I suggest quietly, not really wanting to ask if it was from her being pregnant. People in this house had the hearing of wolves- literally. Some mornings I could hear Carson and Bray talking in bed and knew that if I tried hard enough I would know what they said, word for word.Ember shrugs and pushes open her bedroom door. "Might be" she s
Moon Night Twenty-six: Crimson Bricks
I was still in Ash's room when I woke up, he was still beside me breathing softly as he slept. The room was dark and my cheeks were sticky from tears but I pulled myself of Ash carefully and padded over to the door. I glance back to make sure he was still sleeping before heading down stairs. It was just past midnight but that didn't stop me from wondering into the kitchen.The table was empty from all the plates which had disappeared-most likely to the dishwasher- and the chairs were all tucked under the table. There was no evidence from my outburst.I change my mind of the evidence thing when I walk over to the table. In the edge of the table was a pair of scratches from my claws. I run my finger over the grooves and look around for the shattered plate but don't find one.The chair creeks slightly as I sit down heavily. I was surprised to find everything clean and neat. I thought everyone would have left everything out for Carson to clean up in the mo
Moon Night Twenty-seven: Fur, teeth, and blood
I don't know what I expected. Screams? But instead the screaming was growls, and the house became a riot of lights and sound. Lights burned through curtains, feet pounded on the floor as people moved to see what was happening.I stood, frozen in the cold air outside. Images flashed in front of my eyes, of half people half wolves barrelling down the stairs. The image wasn't to warn me, I know, but it didn't stop me from flinching like I was going to feel the impact as the wolf jumped over the stairs and onto the waiting wolves below.The world shifted back to normal just in time for me to see the front door bang on its hinges. I turn to Mikki, wanting to ask her what we should do by her hazel eyes were fixed on the house were wolf shadows danced over the walls and the sound of wolves fighting was emitted.Part of me wanted to join in, to fight with the pack, but the other half wanted flight, to flee from the conflict and destruction.Sadly, neith
Moon Night Twenty-eight: Burning Passion
I pad in, looking at the snow which had come into the house from the wolves' paws. I look up startled as Ember starts shouting, back in her human form, naked on the ground as the wolves shift around her. Somehow it reminded me of when I was attacked, powerless against the wolves with blood on their muzzles.But the wolves weren't going to attack her. They shifted back, fur melting away to reveal skin and flesh. Within seconds bloody, naked bodies were moving towards the stairs silently."What the hell was that Bray! You didn't need to barge in!" Ember screams. She pushed off the floor, immune to her nakedness as she marched over to Bray with fire in her eyes."You're in my pack Ember! You'd do well to remember that" Bray snarls in her face, his face filled with hatred."So?! I'm not a kid! I can do what I like!"I startle as a hand rests on the small of my back, gently guiding me towards the stairs. I look back at Ash but he was too b
Moon Night Twenty-nine: Explanations
Suddenly the door swings open and light floods over us, exposing us to its harsh glare. We look up startled, Ash growling slightly at the person, still pinning me to the bed with a hand on my stomach. "I'm stealing your girl for 10 minutes, Ash. Irana, I need you" Ember says unfazed despite what was obviously about to happen.I wanted to tell her to go away -using less kind words though. Instead I remove Ash's hand (which he doesn't reject to ....much....) and slide off the bed. I swipe one of Ash's shirts from the floor, ignoring Ash dejected growls. In the hallway I pull the shirt over my head, hoping the shirt wasn't dirty. "Yeah?" I mutter, still irritated that we'd been distracted."I don't know what I should do" she whispers, making her way to her bedroom. Once inside she looks at me, something haunting her expression. "I want to stay but....You don't know what happened to my sister, do you?"I shake my head, not wanting to talk in case I started

Moon Night Thirty-one: Ice Fights
My muscles tense, and my claws dig into the ice. The smell of male wolf fills my nose as I watch the dark grey wolf in front of me slowly stalking. I snarl, my blood running hot and fast in my veins. The wolf lunges forward but I jump aside, my muscles working smoothly so that I was well out of the way by the time the wolf lands.Fast and agile, I turn on the wolf, pouncing onto his shoulder. He stumbles, ankles tripping in the cold snow. Christian's muscles tense under my paws and he turns to snap at me with sharp bark. I bite mockingly at his face before jumping away from him, my weight shifting on my legs like a dancer with ballet moves.Ice clings to my fur, tickling my skin as I move around Christian slowly, stalking him like he was prey. My ear flick towards the sound of something approaching but I don't remove my eyes from the grey wolf.Christian growls, hair raising alone his back and shoulders. His paws sank into the snow silently as we move around each other, his muscles bu
