Sick as a dog (or a wolf)
Hello everyone!
I’ve been updating on my social media but I wanted to sneak in a quick update here. I’m sorry for the break. I promise it was not intentional. I’m actually beyond sad that I can’t write. A week ago I started feeling really bad and it just got progressively worse. I went to the doctor. Got meds and have been trying to hang in there the entire week. But after five days of mot even 2hrs of sleep a night, I was at my wits end. Hubby took me to the ER this morning. After x-rays, it’s confirmed I have pneumonia. Which is both good and bad. Pneumonia sucks but none of the medication that was previously given to me has been working. Now we can actually tailor the medication to pneumonia. I’m able to write this because I slept for 6ish hours today. ^_^ Finally. I can barely keep my eyes open. But I already feel so much better. I am going to do my best to kick this and get back to writing. I have been thinking about it. I want to write so bad. I just haven’t had the strength to do it. I never meant to take a break, especially not this long. I appreciate you all and your patience! I fully intend on jumping back in this week. Doing as manga chapters and uploading as many. But right now, I just need to sleep. <3 I’ll be making sure to update my social media when new chapters go up. But you will get notified on the app as well. <3 I hope you all have a lovely evening and I hope to get back to you soon! - Mish

I looked out over the guys I was training. We were in the middle of a sparring session to help me better assess their weaknesses. My nose wrinkled as I watched one wolf drop from a simple leg sweep and another easily push down another. Goddess, their balance was going to be the death of them.My mouth turned down and with my arms crossed over my chest already, I looked menacing. Enough that the guys I was watching started to fidget and nervously looked from their opponents back to me.“You’re late.” I felt lips press against the back of my head.“I know. I’m sorry. Sophie and Fiona kept us over.” Ethan was already stripping off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves. “Where would you like me?”I hummed and looked around. “Watch Vic and Stan for me. They’re especially heated today.”Ethan stalked off and I felt Justin behind me. He placed his hands on my arms and rubbed up and down. I looked over my shoulder, raising an eyebrow.“I don’t really want to work out today. I got my ass kicked
Shift Chapter 153
My legs were swung over the arm of the chair in the living room. I had a book in my lap that I was supposed to be reading but it wasn’t working out as well as I had hoped. Ethan and Justin were out doing goddess knows what and really I didn’t need to be at the pack house today. I just didn’t want to be alone at the shop. Kev and Sam were mulling about but I didn’t want to interrupt them in their work. Not for something silly like entertaining me.Next to me, my phone buzzed and I pulled it out. I thought it might be the group chat because Justin had been continuously taking ridiculous photos of Ethan in the most awkward positions as they worked. My smile fell and I felt bile come up into my throat. Emmett’s name popped up under the text message.Shoving my immediate panic and fear down, I didn’t want to tip off Ethan or Justin that anything was wrong. The two of them had gotten far too good at reading me and it usually just pissed me off. Right now, I didn’t need them freaking out. Swi

Ethan was the first to shift and luckily, I couldn’t make out his completely naked body. At the very least you couldn’t tell what was the blush and what was from the cold water. I treaded water more towards the middle of the lake as I stared at the two of them. They seemed to be waiting for me to swim in but they would be sorely disappointed.Dipping down under the water, I held my breath for a long as I could manage. Floating just below the surface, I let the silence envelope me one again.‘Talk to them, Sky. Don’t run away.’I squeezed my eyes shut. ‘But…’‘You’re good at running. I know. I help you do it. In this case though, you need to confront them. I promise you, they are going to understand. Not only that but they will say what I have been saying every year. Every time you think you deserve to die. You don’t. We don’t. We just hadn’t found our home.’Pushing back up, I took a deep gulp of air. ‘Raine…’Hands grabbed me and I jumped, looking into the eyes of Justin. He was furio

I stood frozen. Confused on how to react. I could feel Raine and her smugness as she settled down but I slowly opened my eyes to look at them. Justin was giving me a small smile, holding my hand to his lips. Ethan I couldn’t see because he had his chin on my head but his tight hold around me said a lot.“But…I…I killed them. I murdered them. They were only ten…” I tried to justify my own feelings to them.“Your power, that darkness, is wild. If not under control it is capable of terrible things. You’re absolutely correct. If held by someone with the intention to hurt, it could do so much damage. But that’s not you, Sky. From what I’ve witnessed, you’ve managed to save my pack and save yourself.”Justin kissed my hand and then just held it in his. “You didn’t have control over that power. Not back then. Those witches, went in poking a bear and got something far worse. They should have known better. But all of you were children. It went wild and you didn’t have control. That isn’t your f

Justin and Ethan looked at me, confused for a moment. Ethan was the first to speak up.“Maybe…this can wait till after we get some clothes on? All of us…for that matter.”I saw Justin smirk. “I don’t…I kinda like this…”Ethan jammed his elbow into Justin’s side and I blushed.“No…this…it has to do with getting dressed.” I put my glass down. “It’s taken me a bit…but I finished a week or so ago. I just hadn’t had time to…show you guys.” My nervousness was showing as I spoke.They both cocked their heads to the side in the same motion and I had to keep down a smile. Turning, I walked into Emmett’s old side. It had taken a lot to even be able to step into this area. Once I had, the anger roared back and I stripped everything that was in the hallway. I needed something to do with the space. I couldn’t just leave it how it was. So, I pretty much gutted the entire side of the house. Starting from a completely blank slate helped me mold and almost reclaim this space as my home.“Woah, Sky…we

The next day we spend outside behind the shop. I thought about staying in, but everything felt too enclosed for me. Even after we moved some of the furniture out of the way. So I lead Ethan and Justin through the forest to the little pond or watering hole that I continued to come back to every time I was out running. We sat at the end and talked a little bit before I dove into a more meditative state.Ethan and Justin flanked me, helping me regulate and pull more darkness out of me. It wasn’t out of control or anything but they were still pulling, seeing how much we could get down. This wasn’t the first time Justin was doing it but it was the first time out of the watchful eyes of the witches. He was nervous but that fell away after we slipped into a bit of a rhythm.For the first time, I felt better about my control. I felt like I was getting somewhere. That it wasn’t always trying to take over. It wasn’t a constant battle to push it back, to keep it from roaring its ugly head. Justin

Ethan didn’t say anything. I got up, leaving everything on the table and as I went down the stairs, my feet moved faster. I’d pulled Thing out of the garage earlier and I was glad now. It was overcast today and I’d kept the doors shut in case it rained. Making my way out the door, I made sure it shut before I unlocked the car door.“Sky…” I could hear the fear in his voice.“I’m getting in the car now.”He was quiet as I put him on speaker as I started up Thing and pulled out of the shop. I doubted Ethan was sitting there and I was right as I heard Justin in the background. I’m sure there was a bunch of things he could do on his end but at the very least I could take the road heading to the pack. There was really only one way to get to the shop by car from the pack which made it easy, it just wasn’t a quick drive.The sound on the other end got louder and I assumed Ethan put me on speaker

The phone went dead as I watched Ethan pulled over and get out. His eyes roamed over his Mom’s car before coming over to me. I let my hand fall and the phone slip out, digging into the mud. Ethan was searching my face but you could see he already knew. Handing him the paper, Ethan looked at it before he stepped back from me.I watched as he struggled to control his shift. Part of me wanted to reach out but as I did, I pulled my hand back. This was my fault. His Mom was taken because of me. What right did I have to reach out to him as he lost control for a moment. Shutting my eyes against his pain for a moment, his wail turned howl hurt and Raine howled as well.“I…I’ll get her back. Ethan, I promise.” I opened my eyes and realized his brown ones were boring into me.“Like hell you are. I’m bringing in Heath. I’m taking down that pack once and for all.”This time I reached out and took hold of his arm.
