MasukSeventeen-year-old Trixie has always believed she’s just a normal teen, adopted into a loving middle-class family and never curious about her biological roots. That all changes just weeks before her eighteenth birthday when a night out using a fake ID brings her to a nightclub—and directly into the path of Trevor, Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack. Unknowingly, Trixie has stepped into the heart of a werewolf territory, setting off a chain of events that will change her life forever. As the events following that night unfolds, she begins to discover that she is far more special than she ever imagined. Destined to join the pack, Trixie is fated to shift for the very first time on her 18th birthday. But she has no idea what’s coming—or how much her world is about to be turned upside down.

The pack clinic had arranged for me to start physical therapy in the small rehab wing next to the training fields. It wasn’t the same as running free through the forest, but it was progress, and I was determined to make the most of it.Jake was there with me from the moment I walked in. He leaned against the wall with that easy confidence of his, his eyes tracking every move I made as if my recovery was the most important thing in the world. “Okay,” the therapist, a kind woman named Kendra, said with a smile. “Let’s start with light resistance today. We’ll focus on rebuilding strength in your arm. Don’t push too hard — slow and steady wins this race.”I nodded, gripping the resistance band with my injured arm and pulling it back carefully. My muscles protested, but the pain was duller than before. Jake moved closer, crouching be
By the end of the week, the pack finally felt like it was breathing again. Jerica was released from the hospital Saturday morning, her color restored, her strength returning in small but steady waves. She was still walking with caution, her ribs not yet fully mended, but the doctors agreed she was strong enough to recover at home. Physical therapy would begin on Monday, and though she pretended to dread it, Jake swore he saw a spark of determination in her eyes when she signed her release papers.Trixie had been her shadow all week, never missing a night at the hospital. Between classes and assignments, she’d made a point to sit beside Jerica’s bed, reviewing her own homework while explaining lessons to her friend. Jerica had laughed at one point, saying it felt like she had her own personal tutor. “You just don’t want me falling behind you,” she teased. But Trixie knew the truth — it wasn’t about school. It was about making sure Jerica knew she wasn’t alone.By Tuesday, Joe delivered
The sterile hospital smell hit me the second I pushed through the swinging doors, but it didn’t matter — I hardly noticed. My heart pounded in my ears, my footsteps echoing down the hall as I practically sprinted past the nurses’ station. I must’ve looked frantic, because one of them glanced up from her clipboard with wide eyes, but I didn’t stop. All I could think about was Jerica. Room 214.I nearly skidded around the corner, my hair slipping from its tie and bouncing against my shoulders. When I reached the doorway, I didn’t bother knocking. I burst in. Everyone’s heads snapped toward me — Jake, perched carefully on the edge of Jerica’s bed with a steaming bowl in his hand; Eric, leaning casually against the window frame; Melissa sitting in the visitor’s chair. And Jerica — my best friend — awake, upright, her hair a little mussed, a sling supporting her arm. She looked pale but alive.They all stared at me like I had grown two heads. “Where’s the fire?” Jerica asked, her lips curv
Jake’s POVSunday night had fallen, the room bathed in soft golden light from the lamp in the corner. The hospital always smelled faintly of antiseptic and herbs, but tonight it was almost comforting. Jerica was still asleep, though they’d finally unhooked the herbal drip earlier in the evening. It was progress, the kind that made everyone breathe a little easier — but she still hadn’t opened her eyes.I sat beside her, her delicate hand resting in mine. My thumb traced slow circles across the back of it, the pattern familiar, soothing to both of us. I hummed the lullaby I always did when it was just us now, only this time Melissa was in the room too. She insisted on staying the night, and said she wanted to be here when her baby woke up. I didn’t mind. Jerica deserved all the love in the world, and if Melissa could give her another piece of it, all the better.Laying my head on the mattress, I turned to look at Jerica’s face. The worst of the bruises had faded now. The lighter ones w
