Haley The scene is changing before me and it’s utter chaos as wolves and witches are fighting for their lives. The ground is littered with dead bodies and the snow is no longer white but red from all the blood that has been spilt. It’s like a scene out of a war movie. “Dark Moon attacked just as dawn approached. The white witches are not as strong when the sun rises and the dark witches took advantage of this. Even though we united the packs we were still no match for Dark Moon. The white witches were out numbered and only one survived.” I watch as the white witches are slaughtered while Freya explains what is happening. Tears sting my eyes as the youngest white witch scrambles to escape. Many wolves are escaping, fleeing on boats out of the country. They didn’t stand a chance. I watch as Freya is crying, broken from the loss of her mate. “Of those that died, Leif was among them. It broke me. I was angry and I aimed my anger at the moon goddess for not protecting us.” I watch as

Haley “Yes Haley it is us.” “I can’t believe you are actually here. There has been so much I’ve wanted to say to you guys.” “We know Haley. We’ve been watching over you all this time,” says my father. “Really?” “Yes, I’m sorry we were not strong enough. I am glad my sister was able to raiser you as her own,” says my mother. I hug them both as tears fall. I really never thought in a million years I would be able to speak to my parents before I died. I have had so many questions that my aunt never had the chance to answer. “We don’t have a lot of time Haley, but I wanted to try and help you in any way I can. So I am going to tell you about the day we died,” says mom. My parents sit on the ground with who I assume are their wolves as I sit in front of them to listen with Hazel next to me. “It’s nice to see you again Hazel,” says my father. “You have all met before?” “Yes, the moon goddess allowed us to choose which wolf would be attached to you. Hazel had already been attach

Haley I can see the hope in Avery’s eyes when he asked if I will stay with him. Part of me wants to say yes immediately, but I need him to listen to what Freya told me before I tell him my answer. He may change his mind about us. “Before I give you my answer, I need to tell you what happened while I was unconscious. You need to know everything before you decide whether or not you want me as a Luna for your pack.” “Haley, I love you. There is nothing you could say that will change my mind. I won’t have any other mate. I choose you.” “Please. Just listen.” He sits quietly as I retell Freya’s story. I am thankful none of the boys interrupt me for once. I cry a bit when talking about the meeting with my parents part, but they still don’t move to interrupt me. Once I finally finish, Avery wraps his arms around me and kisses my temple. “Haley, this changes nothing for me. You are mine and I am yours. You are my mate, you are my Luna. Please don’t push me away. I understand what I am

Haley When I wake up the next morning I see Avery watching me. He looks very tired. “Have you been watching me all night?” “Mostly. I haven’t been able to sleep since that day and I was still nervous you wouldn’t wake up.” “I’m fine now. Hazel says we are fine, I just need to slowly rebuild my strength so I can kick Nick and Ray’s butt again.” He chuckles at me and wraps his arms around me. Sparks are traveling throughout my body, begging for his touch. I can see a fire in his eyes as he leans down to kiss me. I snake my fingers through his hair to deepen the kiss. His hands roam and explore every inch of my body. I nip and suck on his lower lip, causing him to growl. “Be careful love, I can only control Spartan so much with you teasing us like this.” I smile and pull him back down to kiss him again. I’m drawn to him like a moth to a flame and I don’t want to wait anymore, I don’t want to fight it any longer. “I don’t want to wait anymore Avery. Mark me.” “What?” He has t

Haley It’s been a week and Mason hasn't been able to track down Hope’s daughter, Akila. I worry the longer she is out there alone the more likely someone who wants to harm her will find her first. Mason has been gone all week and only just returned to rest and replenish his gear before heading back out. We also still haven’t had any of our students show up. I sent the boys to go find the kids and see what’s going on and it was just as I feared. Parents are telling their kids to stay away from me, the red wolf is dangerous. I am a bit hurt and the boys are angry. “This is bullshit Haley. They don’t even know you. All they know is a dumb rumor going around that isn’t even true,” says Ray. “It’s not exactly a rumor when it’s true. I am the blood red wolf and every mate to a blood red wolf has died.” “That’s not the rumor Haley,” says Nick. “What do you mean?” The boys look at each other and it seems they’ve known about this rumor for a while now. “The rumor is that you bewitched A
