The pull between us

last update Last Updated: 2025-10-04 14:39:56

The mornings were starting to feel different.

I used to wake up dreading the day — the sideways glances at school, the weight of pretending I didn’t care, the constant hum of tension whenever Savannah entered a room. But now… it wasn’t dread humming under my skin anymore. It was something else. Something hotter. Something alive.

And every time my eyes landed on Jaxon Carter, that something seemed to wake up.

He stood a few feet away on the training field, giving instructions to the younger pack members. The autumn sun cut through the mist, lighting his hair like burnished gold, and for a second, I forgot to breathe. His shirt clung to his shoulders, his movements smooth, powerful, deliberate. He didn’t even have to look at me for my pulse to react — like his presence alone rewired my heartbeat.

It had been like this for days now.

The mate bond — Lucas had warned me about it. Said it would start subtly, like gravity pulling two stars closer until they either merged or burned each other

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   114 The Alpha unleashed

    The night smelled of rain and iron.The forest was heavy with silence not peace, not calm but that brittle quiet that comes right before everything breaks.We’d barely had time to recover after Savannah’s defeat when the tremors began. At first, I thought it was the wind. But then the earth moved. Trees swayed though there was no breeze, and a strange humming vibration rippled through the ground, crawling up my legs like static.“Something’s wrong,” Lucas muttered beside me. He looked pale, his usual smirk gone.Jaxon was already tense, his eyes flashing silver in the dark. The rest of the pack circled closer, low growls rumbling through the trees. “Everyone back to formation,” he ordered, his voice sharp and commanding pure Alpha.The command thrummed through the air, and I felt it not in my ears, but in my bones. It was the first time I’d truly sensed his authority like that, the raw energy that made even seasoned wolves lower their heads instinctively.Except me.The pull hit me

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   113 Fire and shadow

    The forest was too quiet.Not the kind of quiet that brought peace but the kind that pressed on your chest, heavy and expectant, as if the world itself was holding its breath. The air was damp with the promise of rain, and the ground smelled like moss and danger. Every rustle made my pulse stutter.This was it.The final confrontation.Savannah had been taunting us for days strange signs near the pack border, whispers of attacks that never came. But tonight, I knew she was close. I could feel her energy, sharp and erratic, bleeding through the woods like poison.“Stay behind me,” Jaxon said in a low voice, his hand brushing against mine.I shook my head. “No. This time, I’m not hiding.”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue. He knew there was no point. The girl who once stood in the background quiet, unseen wasn’t here anymore.Lucas scanned the trees beside us, his hand resting on his blade. “Movement. East side,” he murmured through the comm.“Copy,” Jaxon replied.The shadows shif

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   112 The calm before the storm

    Something was shifting in the air.It wasn’t just a feeling anymore it was a vibration. Low, steady, like a drumbeat buried beneath the surface of everything. The pack could sense it too; I saw it in the way everyone moved quicker, spoke softer, kept their eyes on the horizon as if waiting for something to step out of the shadows.And I knew why.Savannah had made her choice.Lucas had told me earlier that morning she’d stopped hiding her connection to the outsider. Whoever he was, he wasn’t just human. The kind of power he carried it made even the wolves uneasy.Now, as I stood at the edge of the training field, watching the pack assemble, I felt the knot of anxiety twist tighter in my stomach.Jaxon’s voice carried across the clearing, sharp and controlled. “We’re not taking any chances. Patrols double shifts tonight. If Savannah wants a war, we’ll be ready for her.”The command rolled out of him with natural authority. It didn’t matter that he was only a few years older than most o

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   110 Rising instincts

    When I woke up the morning after the ambush, my body still buzzed with adrenaline. It was like every nerve in me had been rewired overnight. The stranger’s hand on my wrist, the glowing object in their grasp, Jaxon’s barely restrained fury I couldn’t get any of it out of my head.But under all that fear, something else pulsed inside me. A hum. A sharpness. As if my senses had been tuned to a new frequency.The sound of Ethan’s alarm clock three doors down. The faint clink of dishes in the kitchen. Even the whisper of wind against my window it was all sharper, clearer.It wasn’t just me anymore. Something inside me had shifted.Jaxon noticed it first.He and Lucas showed up at the edge of the woods near school that afternoon, dragging me away before Ethan or anyone else could ask questions. Apparently “pack training” trumped homework.“You’ve changed,” Jaxon said as we walked deeper into the trees. His tone wasn’t accusing, just studying. His blue eyes cut sideways at me like he was se

  • Beneath the Wolf Moon   109 Shadows and Thieves

    I should’ve known something was off the second I opened my locker that morning.The folded note inside wasn’t just unusual it was too perfectly placed, the handwriting too neat, the words too deliberate:Meet me by the old gym storage room after last period. Urgent. Come alone.No signature. Just those sharp, deliberate letters that practically screamed trap.I stood there staring at it, the noise of the hallway fading into a dull buzz behind me. My instincts the same ones Lucas had been helping me fine tune flared like warning bells in my chest. And yet my curiosity hummed right alongside them. This wasn’t some prank. It was deliberate. Someone wanted me. And not in the casual “let’s talk” kind of way.It felt bigger. Dangerous.“Earth to Avery,” Lucas’s voice cut through the noise as he appeared at my side, sandy blond hair sticking up like he hadn’t bothered to brush it. He leaned against the lockers, brown eyes narrowing at the paper in my hand. “What’s that?”I shoved it into my
