“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the Moon Goddess. The creator of the werewolves.” The stocky man chuckled darkly, “I must say I expected more.” He sneered, the scar across his right eye crinkling as he did so.
I looked around the darkened room for an indication of where I was, but all I could see from the position tied to a metal chair was the lightbulb that hung from a crossbeam.
The way the man’s voice echoed indicated that we were in a large metal space, but his careless echoes meant we were far away enough from civilization for him to care about getting caught.
I searched my memory for any idea of how I got there, but the last thing
I’d lost count of the number of people who asked me where Jasper was, In the weeks he spent here it became evident to the pack that there was something between us and their curiosity was naturally voiced when I was spotted without him.Many pack members including the Alphas were angry that he’d left without saying goodbye and even more upset that I refused to reveal his reason for leaving. Truthfully I was mad at myself, sure I’d gotten what I wanted, I didn’t want him to stay knowing that he didn’t want to, but I was mad at myself for hoping he would choose me over his secrets for once.“He’ll be back.” Maria assured me but I refused to let her words get my hopes up. Jasper was a man who moved to the beat of his own drum, he always has and once he had his mind set on someth
The crescent moon was high in the sky and surrounded by millions of tiny stars. The night was as picturesque as they came and I could feel the night calling to me. Selene was restless in my mind and was pushing to be let out, but I hadn’t shifted since that night with Jasper. Suddenly a shooting star crossed my vision and I found myself mesmerised by the way the sky lit up. I didn’t feel my body moving till my feet hit the cold floor, but I was useless to stop it, my body seemed to have a mind of its own and I watched with excitement brimming through my veins as I exited the house. The chill of the night air made me shiver with excitement and like I’d been doing it for years without effort, I felt my body shift and the crisp white fur of my wolf take its place on my skin. I felt alive. The night sky was more vivid and beautiful than I’d ever seen before, the thin blades of grass tickled the spaces between my toes as I grew accustomed to the feeling of my wolfy muscles. “Are y
Four sets of eyes stared at me with varying emotions, Marcel looked impressed and Maria looked satisfied, Alpha Devin was concerned and Alpha Allison was livid.“What were you thinking? You could have gotten hurt or worse- taken, I didn’t expect you to be so careless! If you wanted to go for a run you could have woken one of us or even joined the border patrol.” Alpha Allison paced from wall to wall in the expansive office but even it appeared too small to house her frustration.“I needed to think, I was fine, I was at the clearing by the Northern border.” I flinched at my own attempt of getting out of trouble when she scoffed.“Yeah, of cour
“Urg I am sore in places I didn’t even know I had.” I groaned as we walked towards the Alpha house, well Marcel walked, and I limped. My T-shirt was stuck to my body and darkened with sweat from the blistering Californian heat while Marcel hardly looked like he broke a sweat. “You’ll live.” He shrugged, throwing me a wink over his shoulder, “Your form isn’t bad, it could use a bit more finesse, but we’ll work on that.” He pointed out. “We?” I asked in confusion. “Yeah, I’m going to train you.” He stated casually and my feet halted. “Why?” I wondered if Alpha Devin or Allison put him up to it.
We circled each other, our contrasting features creating a mesmerising picture of yin and yang. With canines bared, our wolves growled threats at one another, both hungry for the title of the strongest female fighter in the world, but if only it were that easy. The blood that seeped from gashes and scratches on our bodies matted the soft fur of our most feral forms and spoke of the fierceness of the battle thus far. Growing tired of the game of cat and mouse I cut my footsteps short, to leap across the invisible ring we created aiming for her hind leg. My action caught her off guard and the split second that froze her features left her left thigh open to my attack as I sunk my teeth into her flesh. The metallic taste of blood on my tongue was one I would never get used to, but it came with a sense of satisfaction that only grew with the whimper that sounded from her. Letting go of her, I used my body weight to throw her off balance, nearly missing the razor-sharp teeth snapping at m
The cuts on my face burned as I swiped away the tears that fell, threatening to tear away the steri strips that held them together. I trekked through the forest angrily as I recalled my actions from the fight earlier, I was so caught up in winning that I didn’t consider Alpha Allison’s health and now she was lying unconscious in an infirmary bed with her mate posted worriedly at her side. Seeing Alpha Devin’s concern made my heart melt, unfortunately, it wasn’t in the way that made a person smile, it was more like acid tearing its way through me because all I could think about was how alone I was. Tears rushed faster till I gave up wiping them away at all, I was supposed to be going back home, but as I looked around the forest I couldn’t quite place my whereabouts through my blurry vision. The treeline I had grown acc
The door slamming in the distance snapped me from my restless slumber, snapping my head up, I caught a glimmer in the distance as they approached me. The knife glaring in the man’s hand was easy to identify once he was close enough and even though his face remained concealed the tattoo wrapped around his wrist was clearly visible.The eight phases of the moon. A symbol of enlightenment and darkness, immortality and eternity. It was beautiful, nature’s very own yin-yang.“Good Afternoon, Goddess Selene.” Dark greeted me with a sinister smirk on his face, to which I responded with a flat look.“To what do I owe the pleasure?” I mumbled through the gag, knowing full well it sounded more muffled than words.&nbs
I watched Alaster pace into the room with bated breath, the once-dark room was now lit up to reveal the white steel walls held together by silver beams. The dingy bulb hanging from the single beam now looked out of place in the unusually clean warehouse. Men stepped in behind him carrying various black crates that they placed along the wall closest to the large door. His hawk eyes watched closely as they completed their task, never once acknowledging my presence; not that I was complaining. “Stop! Stop! What are you doing? I explicitly told you not to touch the brown crates, yet here you are lugging it in here as if it belongs to you!” Alaster spat at the lanky man before him, literally bathing the man in his saliva as he got his point across. I had to give the man props for not flinching away from Alaster’s erratic behaviour, his hair was matted to his forehead, his suit was dishevelled and his eyes were bloodshot; he appeared completely unhinged. “Idiots! I’m surrounded by fu
