While I follow my brothers lead, Elijah heads off in search of Dakota and the other pack members within the forestry. With Aubrey’s bitter warnings still hanging in the air, Elijah’s ever-growing impatience rises, making it challenging for him to stand back and wait for further news while the impending threat remains unfound. Finding it impossible to stand idly by, he asks for my blessing before rushing off in haste to join in on the apparent manhunt being conducted just outside the manor grounds – implemented in full swing as a sea of wolves tear through the woodland area with might. As I watch my protective mate disappear through the back door, I let out a deflated sigh as I question whether we’ll get a day of normalcy together any day soon.
“Don’t hold your breath,” my wolf mocks truthfully as she listens in to my thoughts, “-I have a feeling this is just the beginning,”

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.

His forehead remains creased, a soft scowl consuming his face as he struggles to forget my brief lack of judgement.

The sapphire eyed father turns his head snappily in response to the growing frantic thuds of the vast approaching footsteps, his fear-filled eyes illuminating brightly as they glow out of fright. He raises an unsteady hand into the air, ushering down those crouching within the room while the children clasp their hands over their mouths. Their terror riddled faces crumple up beneath their hands, staring amongst the adults while they muffle their whimpering cries the very best they can.“You need to go,“ Julian hisses remorsefully, heartbreak drenched within his panicked voice as he begs Marie’s mother to leave, “-please.”“This wasn’t the plan,” Matilda’s pleading tone is met with abruptness as Julian’s eye’s flicker between his family and the closed door.“There’s no time left,” the tears well heavily within his eyes, dimming the bright spark igniting them, “-you need to ta

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

With Elijah's hand protectively locked around mine, we race towards the manor as it burst into a terrified uproar. 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. Her eyes bulge wide as she stumbles backwards, a look of panic dancing across her face as she crashes into Isaac while he stands closely behind, searching the hallway with a restless stare. His eyes snap forward with shock, catching his sister by the shoulders and steadying her before turning

Marie pleads frantically as her voice echoes from within the dated cellar while she begs for me to return, calling out with desperation as I make my way towards the top of the crumbling staircase. 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. My breathing grows erratic; my exhales
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
