~Malia~ ”And what if I don’t help you? Since you didn't ask me to,”  Avery lifted her head, clenching her jaw, her lips forming a thin line as though she was keeping herself from saying something she would regret.    A smirk came upon Ravens' face as she nodded her head approvingly. We all stood flabbergasted at what had just occurred. Raven had asked Avery a question, received no answer and yet it was as though the silence was an answer in itself.  ”Show me the way,” Raven said with a pleased grin. ”Wait, that’s it? I wanna hear what would happen if she didn't help,” the guy, Lucas said. The older guy that I knew to be Fredrick smacked him on the back of his head.  ”She

My breathing got heavier and I felt a sweat break out on my forehead.  My palms were burning and an incisional pulsating-need spreading down my core and stopping at my folds were i was getting wetter and wetter by the second. I squeezed my legs shut and blinked several times, when I looked up I saw James worried eyes and within the second he was in front of me, holding me up. As we touched, his eyes grew dark and his voice got low and husky.  ”Shit,”   ”I don’t know what’s happening,” I breathed out, cringing as I heard my raspy voice.  I saw a devilish smirk on the Alphas face, I grew irritated at his amusement, seeing as I had no idea what my body was doing.   ”I think I do, and I'm glad as fuck that you foolishly saved me right now,” I was stuck in confusion, not understati

~James~   One day.  One day to be all about Avery, surrounded by the people who love her, initiating her in to the pack as their Luna, as my Luna without any damage, fighting, drama or pain. Was that too much to ask for?   Her eyes had turned black, her pupils dilated and her whole body was shaking as she fell to the ground. When she whispered for me to help her, I felt my heart stopped for a second.  She was clawing at her chest, drawing blood. Alex had been quick to get at her side, pining her hands down but I hadn't seen him in the crowd.  His hair was tousled and he never left without fixing it like all the other girls.    She was screaming in agony, all the pack members h

~James~ ”When Malia was twelve, her parents thought they'd try and see what Malia was capable of and since she didn't have her wolf, they started beating her until she got angry enough to fight back. They could've given her some of their blood to speed up the healing process but instead, they tossed her back in her room, chained her to the bed, and left her to heal on her own. Malia never fought back because she couldn’t. She didn't know her strength, she had no guidance and no one to help her through her shifting. When she turned of age and got her wolf, she couldn't shift because she was chained up in silver. So her parents brought her outside and waited until she had shifted. For a born werewolf, the shifting is already painful enough, breaking every bone in your body, bending your will to fight the pain, the screams of agony, I've witnessed it. But for a vampire who is used to practically not feeling pain at all, ever, and then being turned to something

~Avery~ ”It’s telling me to run,”   Ambers eyes grew colder, darker, and more distant than they had been before. Her entire body posture went from slumped to rigid and Ambers hands pulled away as she got up on her feet and walked out of the room.  Left behind was the cold loneliness I wanted to prevent, I thought telling Amber the truth would set me free in a sense, that I wouldn't be alone. But here I was, on the verge of a breakdown, alone.    I couldn't cry because nothing would come out, I felt numb and fearful. Afraid of what lay ahead.  Everyone was dealing with their own issues and everyone was on edge due to the upcoming war so I understood, but they dealt with it so regally. They knew of the dangers and their demons, we all had them, but they were han
