Beneath the Wolf Moon 92 A Forbidden Night
The world outside felt strangely muted, as though the shadows themselves were holding their breath. The house was quiet, a deceptive kind of quiet that belonged to nights where every thought pressed heavier than usual, where every glance lingered a moment too long.I should have been exhausted. Training sessions with the pack had left my muscles humming, sore but stronger, and my mind spinning with all the unspoken rules I was still learning. But instead of sleeping, I found myself pacing my room, restless, my skin prickling with an energy that felt both foreign and frighteningly familiar.It was the mate-bond—I was beginning to recognize the edges of it now. That invisible thread tugging me forward whenever Jaxon was near. It was the way my instincts sharpened in his presence, the way my heartbeat shifted rhythm to match his, as if my body had learned to dance to his pulse instead of my own.And it was unbearable.A knock sounded on my door, soft but commanding. Only one person knock
Beneath the Wolf Moon 91 Shadows and Reflexes
The woods behind the school always seemed to hold their breath at night. Even when the wind rushed through the branches, when crickets hummed, when the faint light of the moon cut silver across the forest floor—it still felt like the trees knew more than they let on.I tugged my jacket tighter and glanced over my shoulder. “Lucas, are you sure we’re not going to get caught out here?”Lucas smirked, his sandy blond hair glowing pale under the moonlight. “Caught by who? Your teachers? Your parents? Or maybe something scarier?”I narrowed my eyes at him. “You’re not funny.”He lifted both hands in mock surrender. “Relax. You’re with me. That’s as safe as it gets.”That wasn’t entirely reassuring. Lucas was Jaxon’s cousin, after all. Trouble seemed to run in the Carter bloodline like a dominant gene. But unlike Jaxon’s smoldering intensity, Lucas had a different energy—playful, mischievous, and the kind of person who could charm his way out of most disasters.“Okay,” I said slowly. “So wh
Beneath the Wolf Moon 90 Instincts Awaken
The morning after Savannah’s public ambush still buzzed in the air. The whispers hadn’t died down; if anything, they’d multiplied overnight. By the time I walked into the cafeteria, trays clattering and chatter bouncing off the walls, I felt the weight of a hundred curious stares pressing on my shoulders.Some were impressed. Some are skeptical. Some are hostile. But all of them were watching.Jaxon leaned casually against the far wall with Lucas, his arms folded, gaze sweeping the room like a sentry. He looked infuriatingly calm, but I knew better. Beneath the relaxed posture was a wolf pacing, restless. For once, though, he wasn’t hovering at my side. He was letting me stand on my own—an unspoken acknowledgment that I’d earned that right yesterday.Still, his eyes tracked me as I crossed the room, a silent tether humming between us.I had just taken a seat when it happened. A prickling sensation crawled up the back of my neck, sharp and sudden, like icy fingers brushing my skin. My
Beneath the Wolf Moon 89 Public Confrontation
The hallways of Westbridge High buzzed louder than usual that morning, a hum of voices carrying a current of anticipation. I could feel it the moment I stepped through the front doors, a ripple of energy crawling across my skin, sharper than the normal sting of gossip. Something was brewing. And from the way people’s gazes kept darting between me and the end of the hall, I knew exactly who was behind it.Savannah.Her perfume wafted ahead of her before she even appeared, a heady floral mix that made my stomach churn. She’d chosen her usual battlefield attire—perfect curls, red lipstick sharp enough to cut, and a smile that promised carnage. Her group of followers trailed behind her, whispering in hisses and giggles, eyes locked on me like I was the prey in some twisted hunt.I gripped the strap of my backpack tighter, forcing myself not to shrink, not to let her see the nerves skittering inside me. Jaxon’s voice echoed in my mind, steady and firm: “Confidence, Avery. Never let them sc
Beneath the Wolf Moon 88 Pulled Together
The night smelled of rain. Damp earth, pine, and something sharper I couldn’t quite name. It clung to my skin as I moved through the trees, keeping low, following Jaxon’s lead. The mission wasn’t supposed to involve me—I wasn’t officially part of the pack, not really—but Jaxon had let me come.“Observe,” he’d said, his blue eyes locking onto mine with that unspoken warning: don’t push me.Except observing was impossible when every sense in me hummed like live electricity. I could feel the others—pack members moving silently around the perimeter, their presence brushing against the edge of my awareness. But Jaxon’s presence was louder. His body moved ahead of me with effortless power, muscles coiled, every step purposeful. I couldn’t look away, no matter how much I told myself to focus on the mission.We were tracking something. Or someone. The outsider Savannah had allied with hadn’t disappeared completely after the last skirmish. There had been signs—broken branches, odd scents, and
Beneath the Wolf Moon 87 The Enemy Within
The morning after Lucas saved me, I woke with a restless energy humming under my skin. Sleep had been shallow, broken by flashes of glowing green eyes and the sound of claws scraping against wood. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that outsider’s sneer. His words echoed in my head: This isn’t over.But beneath the fear was something else. A spark of determination.Because last night hadn’t ended with me cowering in Jaxon’s shadow. I had stood my ground and fought back—maybe clumsily, maybe with nothing but a stick, but I’d fought. And Lucas had trusted me enough to tell me the truth: that Savannah wasn’t working alone.By the time I arrived at the pack house later that day, my resolve had hardened.The house was buzzing with unusual energy, bodies moving in tense rhythm. Even without being fully part of their world yet, I could feel the undercurrent of unease. Jaxon was in the center of it all, issuing orders in that commanding tone that made everyone listen. His eyes softened when t
