That was the strangest car ride I’d ever had.

First there was the whiplash from what Luna Lannie was trying to achieve. First she wants Luna Belle to hate me, threatening to hurt young Duncan if I don’t play along, but then she goes and does all this. I had no idea anymore if Luna Belle wants to kill me, help, me or something in the middle. All I know for sure about her is the fact that she is very strong, and very scary.

Then there was the fact that, ever since I came back from reliving the nightmares from my past, all I could think about was naughty stuff. It probably didn’t help that I was using Maize’s thighs as a pillow, and since her scent gave me tingles nearly as potent as Ben’s, my frazzled mind went straight to the gutter.

But, aside from the crippling embarrassment, I couldn’t help but smile as I walked behind Luna Belle and Rosie hand in hand with Maize. It was her and Luna Belle’s first time at the Lodge and I see the wonder in their eyes. It was a large and open clearing

    Misty made a gesture and a moment later I felt a fist hit me in the stomach, sending me to my knees.“Talk back like that again, Cutter,” my older sister Misty said in her sweetest tone. “And I’ll hit you again.”Being the daughter of the Alpha Lord, the strongest Alpha in our territory, Misty could do no wrong and was untouchable. Even the teachers here at school knew better than to say anything against her. Being two years older than me at sixteen, she’s had two years to weed out any facility who didn’t learn to look the other way.Struggling back to my feet, the weight from carrying all of her and her three friend’s bags making it more difficult, I worked to steady by breathing again. All I did was answer her question about why it was so difficult to get a hold of her favorite color of nail polish. Her perfectly manicured nails, freshly touched up just this morning before school started, was the reason I knew she wouldn’t be the one to personally hit me.“I was just explaining, ma’a

    My morning classes passed in a horrifying blur.The snickering and laughter from my classmates was bad enough, but it was the teachers who made everything worse. Two of them made me stand in the corner of the room, saying I wasn’t allowed to sit at my desk until I was ready to grow up. And another one gave me detention when I told her I couldn’t go get cleaned up when she ordered me to do so.It was mortifying.Only Mr. Davidson didn’t make a big deal out of it. Instead of drawing attention to my problem, which everyone in the school had been aware of at that point since it was the last period before lunch, he simply placed a towel down on my chair before jumping right into his lecture.I was more grateful to him than I could ever show. Since he taught Advanced Sciences, most of the students in class were in my siblings years, which meant they would all go tattling to them if it looked like Mr. Davidson and I had a closer than average relationship. When he asked me to stay after to tal

    This was only the third week of term and already I despised lunch.The lunchroom was already one of the most awkward and terrifying parts of high school, but I envied those whose only problems were where to sit, or who to sit with.I didn’t have either of those problems.“Did you get all that, Cutter,” Misty glared, looking up at me through her lash extensions.“Yes, ma’am,” I replied in my zombie tone. The four of them just finished listing off what they wanted for lunch, and now it was my job to go and fetch everything. I waited for her to dismiss me with an annoyed flick of her wrist before turning and heading for the kitchen.After all the excitement this morning, the limp in my right leg started to act up again as I began to fill the first tray. I spent every weekend working in Elder Alpha Roland’s Manor, and rarely did I ever escape without some kind of injury. He was the Alpha who stepped up and unified the other Packs in the territory when the Thunder Pack was massacred by the

    His dark cloths molded his body perfectly, emphasizing his lean muscles and wavey light brown hair. His arms were crossed, and though he didn’t seem to be overly muscled like some of our strongest warriors, he was far from helpless. Quite the opposite, in fact, and I could just tell that he knew how to handle himself. His strength wasn’t obvious, like our warriors. No, his was subtle, and so much more deadly. I had no doubts that he could take on, and defeat, every single person in the lunchroom.But it was his eyes that really made my body flush. Dark brown, full of both mischief and cunning, I knew I could lose myself in them forever if given the chance. And it was then that I realized what was wrong, that there was only one reason why I was able to see into his eyes so clearly.Because he was looking right at me.Panicking, I broke eye contact and hide behind Misty, who was just as enthralled as I had been a moment earlier. It made me sick, realizing that we had that moment in commo

    After fleeing from class, I stressed my injured leg to the max to make it to office before anyone could chase me down. I knew I was being paranoid, but it was always better to play it safe. Mrs. Lennit looked up quickly from behind her computer when I came crashing in, startled.“Good heavens, what’s the rush young lady,” she said, fixing me with a disapproving look.“Sorry, Mrs. Lennit, I was just really hoping to finish detention early so I could join the after-school Clubs,” I answered softly, keeping my head slightly bowed. She was an unpleasant woman at the best of times and could really make someone’s life difficult if you got on her bad side. And since she was the one in charge of handing out detention duties, I couldn’t afford to upset her even a little bit.Especially with how often I’ve already been sent here this term.“Let’s see,” she said, pulling up the email pertaining to why I was sent here today. “You refused to clean yourself up after an accident.” She looked up at m

    “You need to let me rest for a minute, you monster,” he shouted breathlessly, taking a step backwards.“But your enemies wont wait for you to be well rested, now will they,” I retorted, taking another step towards him. “It’s now or never, little Duncan.”He growled. “I’m not that much smaller than you, monster,” he shouted back, determination starting to fill his features. Instead of retreating another step, he held his ground and dropped into an attacking posture.Anymore thought of avoiding the fight was washed away, and replaced with a mighty roar as he charged towards me. He struck out at me with a solid right hook, and he growled again when I took hold of his hand and swung him around, almost like we were dancing. This was the reason why they all called me Twinkle here, because all I ever did was dance when they tried to fight me.“Your too obvious,” I said in a level voice once I let go. He stumbled for a moment before regaining his balance, turning to charge again. “You need to

    BenjaminAs Ben followed the Principal into the cafeteria, he could barely hold in his irritation. When he was sent on this mission by the Alpha King himself, Ben pleaded to be allowed to join this territories version of post school Warrior training. Instead, in his infinite wisdom, the Alpha King decided that joining High School would be a better fit.True, he had just recently turned 16 and acquired his wolf, and had been a Junior back home, but as a visiting dignitary, he would’ve been allowed to pretty much do as he pleased. And since his whole backstory for being here revolved around seeing firsthand how strong the Blade’s Edge Pack was, it totally made sense why he should’ve skipped the whole school bit.Ben couldn’t be too angry, though, as the Luna Queen made it clear that she didn’t want him to fall behind in his studies just because he was picked for this mission. His first mission, to be clear, as most Warriors in the Briar Kingdom wouldn’t be eligible until they came of ag

    Ben“I didn’t realize your sister was the same age as us,” Ben asked as they stood up. “I would’ve thought she was much younger.”“Adopted sister,” Misty corrected as she hooked his arm again. “And she’s only a freshman, but since she has no friends, all she does is study. I was against her taking advanced classes with us, but grandfather put his foot down. The senile old fool.”“He’s not senile,” Chris argued back as they made their way outside for Clubs. Ben had learned throughout the day that this territory saved their specialized classes for after school clubs. It was a good idea, he thought, and would see if his Alpha King would want to adopt a similar structure back home. “At least most of the time.”Alpha Lord Roland, as they called their Kings here in this territory, was a legend, even back in the Briar Kingdom. The Thunder Pack, who used to rule this territory, were among the most elite anywhere, and were undefeated in battle throughout their history. And yet, they were wiped

    Maize“Maize smells really good right now,” Ayla mumbled, using Maize’s lap as a pillow while Rosie sprayed a numbing agent on her back. They were in the back of the limo Alpha Grizzle and Luna Lannie borrowed them for the weekend. Sebastion had already swept it for any hidden bugs or cameras. “And her legs are so soft, I wonder is she plans on hooking up with someone in the tents.”Maize blushed, making a point of not looking at her mother’s stern look. Ayla didn’t seem to realize that she was speaking her thoughts out loud. If she didn’t look like she was on deaths door then Maize might’ve found the situation funny.“I wonder if I should thank Rosie for taking away the pain,” Ayla said, starting to leak tears again. “I bet she hates me now after what I put her through. She’ll never let me work in the clinic again, I’m really going to miss the wolves in L-Term. Now where am I going to make money to pay rent. Maybe Jeremy was serious when he said he would pay me a hundred bucks if I f

    Luna BelleAyla was panting as though she’d just sprinted a mile and she was sweating just as bad. The anguish pouring from her every pore was so thick that Belle struggled to keep her composure. But then, just as fast as it had started, the anguish was gone. As if a light switch was flipped, her emotions were once again in perfect control.Who was this girl?“Stop pretending, Ayla,” Lannie ordered, sending her aura towards her. Ayla struggled back onto her knees, her weary eyes locked on the floor. “That’s better.”“What was that,” Belle asked, feeling the satisfied emotions from the others. Lannie shifted her gaze to Belle.“We have no idea what exactly Ayla went through during her years as a slave,” she explained, watching Belle carefully. Belle made sure to keep her features neutral. “All we do know is my father showed up after the Vampire's attacked and wiped out the Thunder Pack. He defeated their leader, becoming crippled as a result. Then, with the help of the Silver Myst, the

    The next few years passed in a haze of blood, pain, and toil.True to Fennis’s words, he never actually taught me how to defend myself. Instead he kept me on the basics for years, using it as an excuse to beat the living hell out of me on a nearly daily basis. But he also made my life much harder off the field as well.As I got older, he made sure I was given more complex tasks to perform. The first was when he dumped an old radio, some tools, and a manual in my cell and told me to fix it. Upon learning I couldn’t read very well, he became enraged at my stupidity and beat me so badly that I spent a week confined to my cell. Instead of letting me heal, however, he threw some children’s books at me designed to help me learn to read better. He warned me that the radio better be fixed by the time my grace period was up, otherwise he’d beat me within an inch of my life again.Another time he gave me some long and thin tools, along with another manual, and then proceeded to put my meals ins

    Time dragged by after that, one horrible day after another. If it was just the hunger, the exhausting work, and the loneliness, than I might’ve been able to come to terms with my new life. But the constant bullying from the Pack, my old friends, and especially my own family, left me wounded and devastated each night. I tried so hard at ever task I was given in the hopes that someone, anyone, would acknowledge me.But no one ever did.My father continued to completely ignore my presence, to the point that sometimes I wished he would just look at me, even if it was followed by a hurtful comment. Because at least then I could feel some kind of connection with him.Mother was the opposite.It was a week after my birthday, a day I tried to forget with everything I had. When I woke up that morning, the most dangerous of all the feelings stirred inside of me. Hope. I’d been a slave for almost two months at that point and I was still trying to hold onto the past. I still wanted my parents lov

    “Please help me, mommy,” I cried after the cell doors slammed shut.“You are no daughter of mine, monster,” my mother said, hatred in her eyes. Up until now, I’d been too scared to cry, but the moment I saw her turn her back and walk away, the dam finally burst. Sinking down to the dirty floor, I pulled my knees to my chest and buried my face in them. I wanted this nightmare to end, I wanted to wake up from this terrible dream.I wanted my mommy and daddy to come and save me.It all started the day before when I turned six. Strange marks appeared on my body after blowing out my candles and something didn’t feel right. I felt like I was getting a tummy ache, and my head hurt really bad, so mommy and daddy took me to the Pack doctor.We were there all day, and by the time the sun went down, I was so tired that I fell asleep the moment mommy tucked me into the bed at the hospital. She left with daddy and promised to return in the morning, which made me really happy. However, when I woke

    “That was about eight years ago now,” Lannie began, pausing to sip her tea. “And most of us here were either Luna’s at the time, or daughters of ranked wolves, so we attended all the major celebrations held at the Thunder Pack. Sadly, none of us were present for her sixth birthday, we don’t even know what day it falls on, but we heard about it after.”Lannie paused to share a round of laughter with the other Luna’s before continuing. “Apparently, she was marked by the Goddess, but instead of a blessing, she was given a curse mark. The same day, their Luna at the time was suddenly hit with a terrible illness. Later that night, when the Pack doctors went in to check on the Luna, they found Ayla sitting on her bed. No one ever confirmed what exactly happened, but we do know two things for certain.”“First, the Luna was found dead. And secondly, Ayla was blamed for it. She was kicked out of her home, disowned by her family, and was forced to become a slave for the Pack. She spent her nigh

    Luna Belle“Remember dear,” Belle mind-linked her daughter. “Eyes and ears open, and be sure to keep calm. Do not let them get a rise out of you. Something doesn’t feel right.”“What do you sense,” Maize linked back, glancing over at her with a worried expression. Maize was nearly fully grown and was already nearly as tall as Belle, and truly a gem in her mother’s eyes.Belle tried to gather her thoughts, to figure out the best way to put descriptions to the feelings she was sensing from behind the double doors they were now approaching. Instead of answering, however, she turned to meet her daughter’s gaze, putting on her game face.Maize took a deep breath and did the same, a perfect smile forming on her lips.The doors were opened by a pair of guards, and nearly twenty sets of eyes turned to take them in. Predatory smiles, fierce stares, and curious glances. With the Luna’s from all twelve Packs in the Alpha Lord’s territory, thirteen if you included Luna Lannie herself, along with

    Misty was working on my hair while I tried my hardest to keep my eyes open.The wounds on my back hurt terribly, shifting last night had torn many of them open again, which nearly caused Rosie to have a heart attack when she cleaned me up once I was finally allowed back inside again. Of course, no one knew I could shift yet, so I told her it happened when I tripped and fell, several times.“Luna, please, with that silver powder infecting her cuts, they won’t heal properly. Until her wolf awakens, her healing is barely faster than a human. I don’t know if it’s due to her illness, her malnutrition, or the fact that she hasn’t had a full nights rest in only the Goddess knows how long, but she’s healing even slower than other Werewolves her age. Let me take her to the clinic for emergency treatment, otherwise she might…”She didn’t finish her sentence, but she didn’t have too. We all knew what she was going to say. I couldn’t talk, otherwise I would’ve told her I was alright. My brain was
