They drove for about 15 minutes through the valley before any houses were visible. The closer they got to town, the more houses popped up in the lush nature. Most of them were small, modest cottages blending perfectly into their surroundings.
“I can’t believe I have lived in White Creek my whole life, and I have never been here?” Nueva gasped in amazement that this piece of the landscape had entirely gone her past.
Outside the car window, the filtered sunlight seemed picky when choosing its intended objects- high lighting some trees, fields and cottages, leaving others in a gloomy shade.
“Not many outsiders come here without an invitation”, Alpha Gray explained. “It’s just werewolf etiquette.”
“Does any of the people from my parts. Um, know you are werewolves? Nueva started to realise there was so much she didn’t know about the area in which she lived.
“Some do,” he stated c

Marigold insisted on coming with Nueva to do the shopping, dragging her through all the boutiques on the main street. Alpha Gray gave Nueva his MasterCard and instructed her to pick up some clothes to last her for a few days. Then, he and Ryan went back to the pack house to sort out some business while they waited for Nueva to finish. Marigold didn't hold back and picked out the most expensive clothes she could find."That's at least what he can do after more or less kidnapping you", She insisted every time Nueva gasped at the price tags. After a few hours, Nueva had more than enough clothes for any weather.Marigold had also picked out a couple of Satin Silk Nightdresses in soft earthy shades. The lingerie with its low V-neckline and skimpy size was a bit too revealing for Nueva's taste. But, Marigold had again insisted and tapped the credit card before Nueva had a chance to protest.Alpha Gray picked her up after she had finished her shopping and drove t

Meeting Perla. Nueva woke up alone, and for a moment, she thought that maybe what had happened last night had been a dream. The house was quiet; the only clue that Alpha Gray was awake was the faint scent of coffee. "Mm, Coffee," she thought, tasting the magic liquid already in her mouth, and that was enough to get her out of bed. The sun peered in through the sheer curtains, promising a beautiful day. Nueva tied her bed hair into a messy bun and rummaged through the shopping bags. Finally, she settled on a pair of navy-coloured leggings and a white singlet before heading downstairs. Alpha Gray was standing in front of the coffee machine. He was wearing a pair of loose-fitting jeans, and his upper body was bare. Nueva's eyes lingered on

Perla had set up coffee and home-baked goods on her old outdoor furniture under a majestic umbrella of a Hazel tree. Light green heart-shaped leaves and dangling cylindrical flower clusters hang like party serpentines around them."So, Nueva, you must wonder what this fuss going on is all about?" Perla asked and placed a plate with homemade Lavender Shortbread cookies on the weathered table surface.Nueva couldn't resist the beautiful aroma of dried lavender and helped herself to a cookie straight away. The shortbread was buttery and lightly sweet, with a floral flavour, the edges were rolled in sugar, and Nueva licked the gritty substance of her lips and nodded yes to Perla. "Well. I would have to tell you a story that we all grew up hearing as children in this pack. The story about Saul and Thiago." Perla made herself more comfortable on her chair like it would be a long story."I have seen those names in a book", Nueva exclaimed, intrigued, rememberin

Alpha Gray's pickup truck slid into the muddy ground as he came to an abrupt stop outside Perla's cottage. Nueva was still naked, sitting on the ground next to Perla, holding a piece of her ripped clothes against the bleeding wound on her upper leg.Perla leaned in and whispered, "There is a blanket right inside the front door. Go on, run and get it." Her smile was weak as the pain was making her tired.Nueva did what she said and ran up the small porch and opened the front door. Inside on a chair, laid an old patchwork blanket neatly folded. Nueva wrapped herself in it and rushed back outside to Perla. Alpha Gray looked drained as he stepped out of the pickup truck. He was dressed in grey tracksuit pants and a white t-shirt covered in blood and dirt; his typically styled hair was messy. Alpha Gray's weary eyes soon turned wide as he looked around with a bewildered frown.The area in front of Perla's cottage was wet and muddy. Pieces of clothes lay scattered aro

The week had gone past pretty uneventful for Nueva. She had been to martial arts training for a couple of hours every day. Nueva was happy that Beta Declan intentionally paired her up with Araya for sparring every time. Araya made her feel relaxed, and they always had a good laugh while training. Nueva had improved immensely from her first class even without Eira fighting seemed to come naturally to her.Eira had seemed to need some time to recover from their experience turning into an enormous beast and had pretty much stayed away deep down in the back of Nueva's mind.Alpha Gray had been away busy for long hours dealing with an unprecedented number of breaks in the Pack's borders. So, he had organised a car for her to use during the days.This afternoon he was leaving to meet with one of his allies, Alpha Miles from the Moonfall Pack.

Nueva woke up from being slapped in the face by a sleeping Mira. She opened her sleep drunken eyes and grunted, annoyed. Evie was lying on her other side, flat on her stomach, hanging off the side of the bed. Mira snored a loud snort and woke herself up from the sharp noise. She wiped a dribble off the side of her cheek and looked innocently at Nueva."That was Evie snoring." Mira's voice was cracked and raw after the night's sleep."No, it wasn't." Nueva giggled. "It was clearly you sawing timber in your sleep.""How rude, I am, lady," Mira answered in a poorly British accent. Evie stirred in her sleep and suddenly fell out of bed with a loud thud."Ow." could be heard from Evie's face down on the floor beside the bed. Nueva and Mira couldn't help laughing loudly."Hey, be nice", Evie grunted as her head popped up over the edge of the mattress, her silky hair flowing perfectly down her shoulders."How do you do that?" Mira wondered, h

The car was fully packed, and the three of them were leaning back and listening to the playlist Mira had put together for their road trip. They had been on the road for most of the day, driving on a winding highway through a consisted stretch of dense dark woodland.Nueva shifted her sore and aching back in the driver’s car seat. “I think the campsite is coming up next?” her voice was wary and unsure.Mira straightaway picked up on the tone, “Is something wrong?” her red curls bop from the speed at which she turned her head to ask her friend.Nueva couldn’t put the finger on what it was, but as soon as they drove into this area, a faint tingle stirred deep in her gut. Instead, she shook her head to answer Mira’s question.A big wooden sign saying Welcome to Woodend Campsite was up ahead to their left. Unfortunately, the paint on the sign was faded and chipped and was long past its peak.They drove
