The group of hunters surrounded William with smirks on their faces and weapons glinting in the sun. Glancing back at the young girl cowering against the tree behind him, he crouched lower, exposing his sharp canines in warning. There were three of them and only one of him, but his confidence never wavered, instead, his anger rose as one of the men leered at the young girl over Will’s shoulder. “Get him.” The biggest one of the group ordered and simultaneously the other two rushed forward, ready to attack. The one closest to him swung a silver machete at his face which Will dodged easily and took the man’s stumbled as an opportunity to grip his calf and with maniacal strength, he wracked his head, flinging the man into the other approaching body. The sudden assault caught them all off guard and before either of them could recover, Will charged at the leader who held a gun in his hands, successfully knocking it a few feet away with his large body. Will was larger in size than most wo

Cybel shifted in her seat, the couple who was tasked with bringing her home to collect her belongings were unfamiliar to her and she worried that not all werewolves were as nice as the Alpha’s family.  “Is this it?” Gregory glanced at her through the rearview mirror and nodded in satisfaction when she answered yes.  “I’ll just be in and out,” Cybel mumbled and pushed open the car door, but before she could step out Matilda’s voice stopped her.  “I’ll just go inside with you.” Her tone was both kind and stern and Cybel’s argument died in her throat.  “Okay.”  

Will sighed for what felt like the hundredth time that day, the whole pack was rushing around trying their best to get everything ready in time for his birthday party, it was Friday night and the week had already been too long and eventful, all he wanted was to lay down and sleep for a month.  “Hey man, you good? I feel like I haven’t seen you all week.” Azaiah took a seat beside him, strictly speaking, they hadn’t seen each other much all week, it was Fall break for Will, but Azaiah was already full-blown into Beta training since he turned eighteen the previous year.  “It’s been a hell of a week man.” Will sighed, running a hand through his hair.  “I heard about the girl,” Azaiah observed, affording him a

“I hate the way he treats me, but at the same time I understand, everything he’s ever done was for our sake and safety, I just don’t see the same kind of looming threat he is convinced follows us everywhere.” Will ranted much to Cybel’s surprise, it was the first time he spoke of himself and she dare not interrupt, he was still a faceless voice to her, but she felt closer to him.  “He loves you.” She didn’t even have to know his father to know it was true, her own father sometimes made decisions that angered her, but thinking back she realized it was only for her own good, “Parents often see the dangers we are too naive to notice, they know the bad friends and the weaknesses we carry.”  Her voice soothed him and for a second he wondered if this was the same reason

The hour ticked by at a snail’s pace, the sun was already high in the sky and the morning’s patrol was now a morning tragedy, Max didn’t know how to face his pack. The other three patrol guards were treated for silver poisoning and two out of the three were already sent home, but not before they passed by and gave their good wishes for their hero. “I can’t believe he took out four hunters himself,” Landon mumbled, he was in awe after hearing the recollection, it was similar to the story of him taking out three hunters and coming out unscathed. “I have traveled to a few packs, I have yet to meet a future Alpha as strong as Will.” Azaiah supplied and Max couldn’t help but agree. “When will he be out of surgery?” Serenity wrung her hands together, looking up at them with wide innocent browns. “We don’t know yet honey.” Star answered and turned her furrowed gaze on Max, “How bad were his injuries that they’re taking so long.” “I don’t know, I couldn’t tell with him being in shift.” Ma
