Bigger things to worry about...
Crescent markings bare into the palms of my hands as my fists continue to tighten, my nails cutting deep into my raw flesh while my muscles begin to tense mechanically. A surge of adrenaline courses throughout me causing my body to shudder gently as I raise my chin, my frame wavering as I tremble from the untamed fury seeping through my heavily pulsating veins.
As if any previous concerns of today had been erased within the blink of an eye, I allow my emotions to escape without restraint. With no barrier holding them back, they dominate the room; breaking free from my held preservations and leaving me with my animalistic instincts alone, obliterating any rational thoughts I recently possessed when I first walked into this room.
My eyes remain locked on Aubrey as she lets out a shaky whimper while shuffling backwards; with heavy breaths she almost stumbles over a footstool as she navigates her way back to Vincent’s side, her eyes unbudged from my own while she sta

In a whirlwind of excitement, the day continues to take its twist and turns as it unfolds. Surprising us in the process as revelations and secrets surface into the light; altering our paths going forward as they overlap and entwine with one another's, solidifying our relationship with the Shadow Pack even further as another root settles within the stem of its foundation given the recent pairing.“Well, I wasn’t expecting that to happen,” Ash’s lip curls slightly; his hands folded against his chest while he leans against the doorframe wistfully.I watch curiously as he gazes after the girls while flame-like hues dance in the sky above them; his head tilting to the side as the blurred silhouettes of Dakota and Lillie disappear into the vast garden, vanishing into the flourishing sea of colour as they head off on a private walk while the night begins to trickle in.“Yeah, I didn’t see that coming,” I muse alongside him; int

My palms become clammy as I watch Elijah silently navigate his way through his phone, its bright screen casting a heavy glow around him as it illuminates the dimly lit room while his fingers thud harshly against the digital screen. I watch as his hand shakes furiously while he pens an unseen message, taking his time to read over what he had just written before raising the device to his ear. Within a few moments, the familiar outgoing dialling tone faintly sounds from the mobile held within his palm while he impatiently waits for the unknown callee to answer. His foot rhythmically tapping against the flooring in sync with the ringing chime as he frowningly gazes upwards. “Hey, Tyler-“ Elijah announces before taking in a deep breath; his expression lifting slightly as a wave of relief rolls across his face while he pauses, revealing the identity of the mysterious recipient as they answer on the other end, “-uh, not really. I need you to check something over for me. Take a look

As the remnants of the shuddering knocks continue to echo within the manor, Isaac makes haste as he rushes down the hallway behind me. The patter of his footfall growing louder as he joins me at the open door while flashing a dubious glare towards our new arrivals, trying to make out their faces before his scepticalness dwindles away allowing a surprising toothy grin to take its place as he warmly greets his cousin. I watch as the relatives catch sight of one another while Jackson steps foot into the wide entrance; towering above us as he walks forward with open arms, clasping them around Isaac as they pat one another’s back in a strong, fierce hold.“Ha! Look what the storm brought in,” Isaac mocks as we catch a glimpse of the dark, turbulent clouds gathering above in the recently clear sky; the once gentle breeze now bitter as it howls through the open door, “-I didn’t realise Elijah had sent out the invitations for the ceremony already. Did yo
Origins: The Luna City Trilogy Exciting news, I hope...
With Isaac leaving the office to get on with his increasingly burdened day I slump down in Elijah’s recently vacated chair; taking a moment to collect my thoughts as a tide of confusion creeps over me while I take in a deep breath, exhaling ruefully while I rest my elbows on the solid desk. I allow my head to lull in my palms heavily; burying my face against my clammy hands while I contemplate the weight of my recently made promise, uncertain of whether that was the right call to make.I take a moment to collect myself; taking a step back from the situation as I remove the mental restraints that are preventing me from seeing the bigger picture, granting me a greater perspective of the matter despite feeling my wolf’s pride being jolted willingly on my behalf in the process of the unexpected negotiations. After having a few minutes to think everything over I jump to my feet, brushing myself down as I rid my mind of any doubt before praising myself while I stand by

Elijah braces himself; readying up to play the role of the gracious host as the first set of responses to our invitations begin coming in, announcing their early arrival for this afternoon. Appearing over-eager to join us in the celebration of our union that is soon to take place, all curious to meet the new Luna of the Shadow Pack as they swiftly reply to our requests.By the time Dakota is trying to pry me away, I’ve just about managed to finish my breakfast and give Elijah a small peck on the cheek before I’m whisked away frantically.

Despite my best attempts of trying to fall back asleep I continue to fail miserably; struggling to forget what I had just witnessed within my hellish dream plane, traumatised by the images that haunted my racing mind. Unable to shake away the ghastly scene of the butchered bodies de-glamourising into their true forms, I toss and turn restlessly. With an aching head, I unwillingly recall their twisted and torn figures each time I close my weary eyes, forced to rewatch the horrifying moment when they revealed themselves before me while Sean and the unknown witch stood closely by while discussing their failed attack. I tuck myself against my murmuring mate, struggling to comprehend whether there was any truth behind what I had seen as I press against his solid frame while breathing in his adored scent. He gently snores, remaining blissfully undisturbed in his heavy slumber as I try to find a way of calming my nerves, hoping to join him and do the very same.I try to keep a clear

After returning to the quiet sanctuary of our room, we end up spending the majority of the night blissfully discussing our excitement for the Ceremony until the early hours of the morn. Without a care in the world, we ignore the darkened sky that continues to lighten outside as it transforms into a soft blue hue as it readies itself to host the gracious sun that is soon to take its place. We refuse to give in to our begging exhaustion as it hangs heavily above our heads; ignoring the sandman’s beckoning calls as he serenades us to rest, going against our better judgement of getting a full nights rest while we remain utterly content in one another’s company.I listen attentively to my enthusiastic mate as the conversation of our future runs further than just Friday’s impending event. Without being aware, he unknowingly trails off into his plans of reformation for the great Luna City, adamant that he’ll achieve his goals within the next few years with me
