Chapter: The WarningMaureen stared at the letter, contemplating what it meant. No way, this couldn’t be happening. Could it? All these years, they had believed their daughter dead, a casualty of the massacre that had decimated their pack. If this were to be believed, then her daughter wasn’t dead, but had been kidnapped and stolen away from everything she had known. The implications sent a tremor through her hand, giving away the distress she was feeling even though she tried to keep her voice calm. “Where did you get this?”She looked at her mother with a pointed look, clearly telling her that she knew where she got it. Turning it over, she showed her mother the seal, tapping her index against it twice for emphasis. There was no denying its source or that it was real. This was happening, as weird and unreal as it may feel. “But that means…well, that means she was kidnapped!”“Kidnapped?” she questioned, her head tilting as she considered what her mother was saying. Thinking over the story her

Chapter: Memory Lane“Your father and I hadn’t been married long. He was the Alpha, of a long line of Alphas and I was his Luna. I still remember the day I found out he was my mate; everyone was really shocked. How could a girl raised by humans be mated to the Alpha?” At the look her daughter sent her way, she nodded, “That’s right. I was not always part of a pack. I was adopted as a baby by an amazing family and raised with all the love and care they had to offer. Of course, I wasn’t like them, but we didn’t know that until much later.” She explained how she came to be found at the edge of the woods, with no family or personal belongings to be found. Naturally, she had been raised as any human would have been, almost thriving in the human town she had come to call home. The only problem was - she wasn’t human.Being a wolf, she was different from those she grew up with, those she lived with, joked with, even loved. When her wolf started to show, at first, Maureen had thought she was going craz

Chapter: The DinnerKylan’s mother was just putting supper on the table when she got home. Turning a bright smile upon the teen, Kylan was reminded of all the times she had come home to this very kitchen. She could almost see her dad still sitting at the table drinking his coffee and her mother smiling as if the world rose and set upon her family. If only it could be that way again. Her father’s laughter was missing from their lives and she would give anything to bring it back. “Hi Mom! What smells good?” Sitting, she realized how hungry she was. Her stomach growled, her hand covering it as she ducked her head with embarrassment. Filling her plate with food, she quickly forgot that anything was even happening, her eyes lighting up at some of her favourites. For all that she didn’t put on weight, Kylan loved to eat. It didn’t take long for the two to clear their plates. Kylan went to the modest kitchen, making her mother a warm drink fresh from the stove. It was almost a routine for them, a

Chapter: The GardenKylan found herself sitting in the garden a few hours later. She had made some excuse, wanting to talk to Carter. Carter was a sweet man, raised to be Alpha after his father, and her entire world at this point. As much as it was her father’s wish that they marry, she had fallen in love with him years ago. With Richard gone, he had become her source of strength, her comfort. It was only natural that she wanted him right now.She reached for him as he entered the area, already using the link. “I was just thinking about you…I’m so glad you’re here.” He pulled her into his embrace, her body melting as she soaked in his comfort, breathed in his scent. Sandalwood. A soft sigh left her as she nestled her face into his neck.“Mm, I finally got a break. Studying has been brutal and we got that game coming up at the end of the week. I had to come see my best girl,” he kissed her collarbone, his arms secure around her. She never tired of this, unable to wait for their marking ceremon

Chapter: The LetterA letter. That’s how it started. Signed and curiously sealed, an elaborate CR imprinted into the long cooled wax. Such a little thing and yet, with it, everything changed.Kylan stared at the letter in her hand, her mind racing with rampant curiosity. It held the seal of the Crescent River Pack, but this one bore the Alpha’s mark. What could the Alpha of Crescent River want with her? She ran her fingers over the grooves of the embossment, puzzled by what it could possibly mean. Making her way into the house, the girl carefully broke the seal, her curiosity getting the best of her and apparent on her fair features as she started to read the missive. Shock swept through her, reading and re-reading the words. Before she could make sense of it, it was plucked out of her hands. As she spun to try to recapture it, her startled gaze settled upon the Alpha’s youngest son. Kylan reached for the paper, but to no avail. Philip held it above her head, laughing at her efforts even as
