I let out a sigh and let my body fall onto the floor, my back was touching the shelf on the wall filled with different books. "How am I supposed to find the book?"I did not know if I was expecting the book to answer my question considering I was alone in the library, I managed to sneak inside once I ensured no one was around. The library had hundreds of books except for the book with red velvet cover. After I returned from the forest I was eager to find the book, Bernadette was not talking to me either. The list of people who were avoiding me kept increasing daily, first it was Alpha Orion and then Bernadette. I closed my eyes and started thinking about what possible actions I could take. After almost ten minutes I realized I was left with very few options.With new confidence and a smile, I started walking toward my goal. I was losing my mind, I was having nightmares, and last night I had to witness the death of people once again, a lot was at the stake and with every new day the

It was safe to say sleep had officially left me. After I kept tossing and turning in my bed for an hour I got up and decided to sit at my usual spot alone. The night was still dark but so were my thoughts. I thought seeing the corpses and blood in my nightmares was bad but seeing my dead mother turned out to be worse, the way she seemed ready to fight the world for me, the way she was ready to give her life to protect me....and she kept all of her words.But I was a disgrace to her legacy, I was nothing, not a werewolf, not a warrior just an outcast who gave up the idea of fitting in. But who was she talking to? Was it another trick my brain was playing with me or did the dream mean something?All my nightmares with bodies and the red moon turned out to be an indication of the upcoming blood moon but how did my recent nightmare fit anywhere? My mother was dead, I could not ask her for answers. No one from her family was alive either and from what I knew all the relatives from my

There was a knock on the door. I gave one last look to myself in the mirror. I was wearing faded shorts with a net crop top and a long floral shrug. My hair was in a high pony and I kept the makeup minimal with just concealer and little eyeshadow on my eyelids instead of eyeliner and nude lipstick to complete my look.I let a few strands of hair fall to frame my face. In the end, I added black boots. The door opened, "You ready?"I looked at Alpha through the mirror, "Where are we going?""I have some work to do and Bernadette suggested it'll be a good idea to take you with me, you'll get some fresh air and it'll teach you a few things about being," he cleared his throat, "my Luna."I licked my lips and nodded, "Let's get this over with."I turned around and was about to walk out of the door but Alpha kept standing in his place with his eyebrows scrunched together slightly. "Wait," he said out of a sudden.I frowned while facing him with a confused look.He removed his hand from his

"Some people were waiting for us, were you followed?" Alpha Orion asked Kai. I still had his arms wrapped around my body in a protective manner. "No," Kai answered looking here and there."They thought Luisa was Ruhee and killed her," Alpha said in a dead tone as his hold tightened around me."Who were they?""Couldn't tell but I managed to kill six of them."I pressed my lips in a thin line but said nothing. "It's not safe for you both to go from the main road."Alpha ran a hand through his hair with a scowl on his forehead."They might be searching for both of you in the town," Kai said in a low voice, "give me the car keys, I will drive your car and take them away. You both leave the town from the forest."A part of me was expecting Alpha Orion to object and say something about the safety of his gamma but he tossed the keys in response.I looked at him in surprise as Kai ran away without wasting another minute in front of us. "You just put your gamma's life in danger.""I trust

"What was that earlier?"I knew the question was coming.I put on my best convincing smile, "I told you, I do not like new places. I have always lived in one place and this is all new for me."He kept looking at me with the same blank look, he was trying to see through my lies. he was trying to figure out what was really happening...but he could never find out the truth."You were trying to touch the wall.""I was just curious," I replied in a calm tone challenging the irritated tone of Alpha Orion.His eyebrows twitched slightly but luckily he did not ask any more questions.It was then I got the chance to finally look around, the room was dark. Even though a bulb was shining it could not provide enough light to brighten the small room.The smell was still present in the air and because of the nightmare, I was no longer thinking if it was just the rotting food. There was a scary silence in the room and the only sound that could be heard was of water droplets hitting the floor. It was
