95 The Enemy of My Enemy

last update Last Updated: 2025-09-18 14:36:36

The warning came before the bell rang.

Whispers had a way of sneaking through the halls at the school, sharp and poisonous, carried by Savannah’s perfectly manicured followers. That morning was no different except this time, the whispers weren’t about me being “desperate” or “pathetic.” They were about to fight.

Not just a fight. A setup.

I caught it in fragments as I passed the lockers. Savannah’s bringing someone… He’s not from here… Avery won’t know what hit her.

My stomach tightened. It wasn’t paranoia. I’d learned by now Savannah didn’t make idle threats she made plans. And if she was involving someone from outside school, that meant something more dangerous than her usual games.

By third period, Lucas leaned close across our desks, his brown eyes serious. “Be careful today. I heard Ryan mention a new guy hanging around Savannah.”

Ryan. My chest twisted at the name, remembering the conversation Lucas had shared with me the cruel words Ryan had thrown at him when he wasn’t ready t

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   104 The Council’s Challenge

    The council chamber was colder than I expected. Not in temperature though the stone walls and high ceilings certainly didn’t help but in atmosphere. The moment Jaxon and I stepped inside, the air thickened with judgment, every stare trained on him sharp and calculating.I swallowed hard, hugging my arms across my chest. I wasn’t supposed to be here. This was their world, their politics, their hierarchy. But Jaxon hadn’t told me to leave. Instead, he’d brushed his hand against mine in a quick, grounding touch before walking forward to take his place in the center of the room.Lucas leaned toward me as we stood along the edge of the chamber. His voice was low and urgent. “Keep calm, Ave. They’ll be looking for weakness any crack they can exploit.”I nodded, though my stomach churned. I’d faced Savannah’s cruelty, public humiliation, and even whispers of supernatural danger. But this? This was different. These weren’t high school games. This was power. Life. Future.The council members s

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   103 Words on the Edge

    The gym smelled faintly of dust and old sweat, even though it was mostly deserted at this hour. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting shadows across the mats where I stood barefoot, my arms already aching from Jaxon’s endless drills.“You’re still dropping your shoulder,” he said, circling me like a predator sizing up prey. His voice was calm, but his eyes those impossible blue eyes sharpened with every movement I made.I blew a strand of hair from my face, glaring at him. “Maybe because you’ve had me doing this for two hours straight.”The corner of his mouth lifted. “So you’re saying you’re weak?”I scowled, my pride flaring. “No. I’m saying I’m human. Remember that?”His smirk deepened, and he moved in closer, so close I could feel the heat radiating off him. “Funny, because the way you’ve been moving tonight doesn’t look human at all.”My pulse jumped, traitorously loud in my ears. He wasn’t wrong. My reflexes had been sharper, my awareness heightened, like my body was l

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   102 The Truth in the Shadows

    I always thought my family’s story was simple. Ordinary. Dad left when we were kids, Mom buried herself in Ethan’s achievements, and I… well, I was the leftover. The invisible one.But tonight, everything I thought I knew cracked.It started with an argument. Ethan stormed out earlier after another tense dinner Mom grilling him about grades, college, and image. The usual golden boy pressure cooker. I slipped away to the attic, a place no one bothered with anymore. Dust clung to every box, and the single lightbulb flickered when I tugged the string.I was just looking for old photo albums, something to distract me. But I found a box shoved into the farthest corner, taped shut, labeled only with my mother’s handwriting: “Q.”Not Quinn. Just the letter.My chest tightened as I pulled it free, coughing when the dust puffed into the air. For a moment I hesitated, because Mom doesn’t leave things unlabeled, not like this. She’s precise. Controlled. But my fingers worked on their own, rippin

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   101 The Pull I Can’t Fight

    There are things your body does without permission—hiccups, sneezes, and goosebumps when the wind cuts cold. But nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to the way my body reacts to Jaxon.It’s not something I can hide anymore.After what happened at school—Savannah’s knife, the fire alarm chaos, Jaxon storming in like some furious god I should have been shaken, maybe even broken. But instead, I kept replaying the moment our eyes locked across the gym. His golden stare burned straight through me, and my pulse… it didn’t just race. It changed. It sped up like it was syncing to his, an invisible drumbeat that I couldn’t quiet, no matter how hard I tried.And now, sitting in my room with the door locked, my knees pulled to my chest, I can’t stop shaking. Not from fear at least, not the kind Savannah wanted. This is something else.Every time I close my eyes, I feel him.It’s insane, I know that. He’s probably miles away right now, arguing with pack elders or grinding his teeth over the mes

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   99 The Breaking Point

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned since walking into this world of wolves and rivalries, it’s that danger doesn’t wait until you’re ready. It shows up when you’re distracted, when you think maybe, just maybe, life is settling into something normal.Which is exactly why it happened at school.The day started like any other: crowded hallways, lockers slamming, and Savannah walking down the halls with her army of perfectly dressed shadows. I had felt her eyes on me all morning, that venomous stare she never bothered to hide anymore. But I told myself she wouldn’t try anything in broad daylight, not here, not with so many witnesses.I was wrong.It happened just after lunch. The fire alarm screamed through the building, harshly. Students groaned, shoving books into bags, complaining about losing class time. Teachers tried to push us toward the exits, but my skin prickled with something deeper, an instinct of the same kind Lucas had been drilling into me. Something was off.As the crowd fu

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   Breaking Down Walls

    The night felt heavy, like the forest itself was holding its breath. Crickets chirped in the distance, but even their song couldn’t drown out the thunder of my pulse. I sat on the porch steps outside the pack house, hugging my knees, trying to ground myself. So much had happened in so little time rival threats, Savannah’s endless venom, missions that left me bruised in ways no one could see.But the hardest part wasn’t the danger. It was Jaxon.Every day, every look, every brush of his hand left me raw. The mate bond hummed like an invisible string stretched between us, tugging at me even when I tried to resist. I told myself I was strong enough to keep it under control, but the truth was, I didn’t know how much longer I could keep pretending it didn’t own me.The screen door creaked, and I didn’t have to turn to know it was him. The air shifted the second Jaxon stepped outside. His presence had a gravity to it, pulling me closer even when I swore I’d stay put.“You’re hiding out here a
