The undoing...
Understanding Elijah’s upset and worry, I flourish him with a chorus of heartfelt apologies for my thoughtless mishap last night before getting dressed into a purple tea dress and a complimentary charcoal cardigan. When we finally emerge from the confines of our room, we head downstairs as a united pair despite his toying agitation continuing to pour from within him. His forehead remains creased, a soft scowl consuming his face as he struggles to forget my brief lack of judgement. As we silently walk down the staircase hand in hand, he stands at my side protectively - keeping me close as he guides me towards the excited commotion resonating from outside.
When we enter the garden, my attention gravitates towards the gathering group while they stand around the gently bubbling fountain. Their enthusiastic chatter masks the gentle flow of water splashing behind them, all huddled closely together as they remain enthralled by whatever has managed to captivate their interest.

When I open my eyes, I’m no longer lying beside Elijah as I were when I had fallen asleep within the comfort of our private room. Instead, I find myself crouched in the unforgettable corridor of misfortunes as I realise I’m stuck within my dream world once more. With the dim-lit hall shortened even further in comparison to the last time I had found myself venturing through this hellish plane, only one door remains at my side. My eyes flicker onward as I gulp loudly while momentarily allowing my attention to hover over to what appears to be the end goal of this torturous recurring event—the old, wooden arched door. Knowing what to expect, I unclasp my arms from around my knees while I attempt to calm my erratic breathing, suddenly aware of the growing nerves setting root within me as I tremble softly on the ground. I take in a deep breath, placing my hands down on the icy floor beneath me as I lean back and allow my head to lull against the wall. I look back at the menacing d

As I enter the cramped office struggling for space, a flow of cheerful conversation fills my ears and breaks me from my constraining thoughts. I sense the shared presence of burning curiosity dusted within the air as the requested pack members await an explanation for being summoned here so urgently. As the door closes behind me, I take in an unsteady breath while I brace myself to open up to those closest to me. I turn around slowly, gulping down the gathering spit building at the back of my throat while the waiting audience settles down. Then, as I meet their welcoming smiles with a forced reflection of their own, their grins swiftly fade as if they had been snatched away by the growing worry weighing on them gravely. Will they believe me?“I wasn’t too sure what was going on, so I brought my research about that memoir you asked me to check out,” Blair places the cluster of books and files clasped with her arms down onto Elijah’s desk, the gifted pil

While my feet collide against the cobbled ground, I feel my heartbeat quicken erratically as a wave of vulnerability washes over me. As the severity of the situation begins to settle in, the atmosphere quickly darkens as if it were mimicking the very sky just above. Feeling the alarm within my being, my wolf begins to liven up, suddenly invigorated by her burning determination that has been set alight by the calling sirens screaming in the distance. In a blind panic, we storm through the door and find ourselves crashing into a fear-stricken Raven as she gasps out of fright.

When I re-emerge, I look around vigorously; my searing eyes scanning across the desolate grounds in a fuelled frenzy as I clench my fists tightly, small cuts forming upon my skin as my pointed nails dig into my palms while I try to decipher which direction Aubrey and Blaine may have gone.I take in a deep breath; my shoulders lowering into a predatory bow while I inhale slowly, allowing the surrounding scents to enter my nose as I’m bombarded with each aroma of nature thriving around me.

Origins: The Luna City Trilogy I think we're in trouble...
Hesitantly, I look back towards the lifeless wolf with tear-filled eyes as Aubrey’s body lies on the ground, my own paralysed with guilt while I stand frozen to my spot as my mouth opens and closes without making the faintest of a sound – almost as if my voice had been immobilised, horror-stricken and preventing me from making a noise. Remaining stuck within my blameful thoughts, I try to make sense of what had just transpired while I struggle to comprehend the bitter reality that I have just taken someone’s life. Did that really just happen? I stumble backwards unsteadily; my stomach twisting into knots as I hold down the rising bile crawling its way up my throat, burning my neck as I repress the urge to vomit and purge all the bad energy I harbour inside. With my vision beginning to blur, I feel my weight go from beneath me as I become unbalanced, crashing down heavily while I clamber onto the earthy ground trying to find my bearings.

Origins: The Luna City Trilogy Hello wolfy...
As the monstrous Nightcrawlers descend upon us as if they were moths drawn to a flickering flame, the repulsive smoke hanging over the broken bones of the decapitated City continues to grow, smothering the streets just below as if it were an all-consuming blanket forged from the pits of hell itself. The ghastly fumes seep around us as the raging storm above churns the deadly concoction relentlessly; pushing bursts of toxins and iron towards us, allowing the unwelcomed putrid scents to climb their way up my nostrils before rolling down chokingly into my lungs, inhabiting their entirety while I hold back the urge to splutter in discomfort. The defending wolves growl in unison while they recede backwards, their eyes casting sparks as they band together while the scuttling creatures gather into a swarm of destruction, crawling out from the alleyways and shadows while menacingly closing in. Flooding with panic, I look around in alarm as terror courses within me while I struggle t
Origins: The Luna City Trilogy When a storm ends...
As if bright starlight were attempting to pulsate through the graphite sky hanging above us, scattered lightning strikes come in grand networking forks as they ripple above - illuminating those beneath for no more than a heartbeat before we continue our battle in the darkness, being consumed by the returning shadows while they nurture the evening street. My eye’s flicker downwards as I catch sight of the nefarious creature lunging forward; his claws outstretch while he propels his unnatural frame through the air towards me as if he were a sharp throwing dagger, and I were the waiting target. With a heavy spike of adrenaline pulsating through my veins and a driving determination instilling within me, I leap into the air without any thoughts holding me back. Acting out of instinct, I hurtle myself in the Nightcrawlers direction in turn while I brace myself for impact, my mouth hanging open as I aim for his exposed flesh. In a brutal collision of opposing forces, our bo
