What do you remember? Arystyn glared at the man who asked the question while he was putting more raw meat into the fridge. I remember being attacked and waking up here. How many days have I been here? The man looked at her and started to laugh. Seriously? Arystyn looked at him and yelled, what? Why are you laughing?, and what the Hell is your name? He eyed her with curiosity noting what a Hellcat she was. Since you asked so politely I will tell you my name he added sarcastically, my name is Alex.
Alex explained to Arystyn that he found her in the Alley behind 7th street Market and had brought her here and nursed her back to health and that it was touch and go for a while but she had pulled through. Then he looked at her and said "That was 2 years ago."Arystn staggered backward as things started to go black. This was the craziest thing she'd ever heard! How had she been here for 2 years and just now becoming aware of it? Arystyn faded off into unconsciousness.Waking up Arystyn looked around and noticed that Alex was still in the room. How long have I been unconscious? He eyed her wearily and calmly retorted just a couple of hours this time.According to Alex, he had found her unconscious with practically her entire throat being ripped out. Arystyn yelled I don't believe you there would be a scar! Alex said there's something you need to hear. You were attacked by a werewolf and you are now a werewolf and we heal quicker than humans.This guy was a lunatic! Probably the lunatic who attacked her and was going to do God knows what to her! She had to get out of here! Please just let me go! My boyfriend and his family have money and they will pay whatever you ask if you just let me go!Alex looked at her. I noticed some of the steaks were gone. You've fed haven't you? She remembered eating raw meat. Yes, she said softly. Now, do you believe me he asked.How could this be? Werewolves? Was there such a thing? Arystyn looked at Alex, tell me more. Alex told her that once someone is attacked by a werewolf if it doesn't kill them it turns them into a werewolf, in her case a Luna. A Luna is a term for the subservient female werewolf. Oh Hell no! She wouldn't be subservient to any man! Arystyn had prided herself on being a strong independent woman and that wasn't going to change no matter what. What about Julianne? Did you find another young woman? Had Julianne been attacked and was she roaming the streets or was she dead? There was nobody else only you. Arystyn had to find her friend!How do you know so much about these things she asked Alex. He looked at her and said, " because I'm a werewolf." You did this to me she screamed! She reached out her hand to slap him but he grabbed her wrist before she made contact. I did not do this our pack members would never attack an innocent. Arystyn glared at him, then who else could have done this to
Arystyn could not believe that they had found Julianne so quickly! She wanted to run in and wrap her arms around Jules and show her that she was alive but Alex said she couldn't show herself until she learned to control when she shifted. Now she knew Jules was ok she could do anything she had to to keep her safe. For the next 2 days, Alex worked with Arystyn to help her learn self-control in preparation for the upcoming full moon transformation. She wasn't completely ready and would have to be shackled with iron chains to ensure the safety of herself and others when the full moon was at its peak but at least she was somewhat better prepared. Arystyn had eaten four raw steaks as Alex had told her the urges would not be as strong when she shifted if she wasn't hungry. Arystyn had never felt so much pain in her life! Her body began to twist and contort as the moon took over her body. the pain struck, beginning at her fingertips and quickly spreading all over, each bone breaking, piece
Arystyn quietly left out the same door she had entered through looking around to make sure nobody was following her as she ran down the road she had to get away! Was it true that Darian and Julianne were in on her attack? How could this be? The 2 people she trusted most In the world had set her up to die! She would make sure they paid for this! She wasn’t sure how but she would make them suffer. As she entered her basement apartment Alex was waiting for her and he was not happy! “Where the Hell have you been?”, Alex angrily shot at her. Arystyn spent the next hour explaining to Alex what she had discovered. Alex looked at Arystyn in astonishment. Let me guess, your boyfriend is Darian Fredrickson. How did you know? How do you know him, asked Arystyn.Alex looked at her whimsically, “He is the Alpha of the largest pack in the nation.” He said bluntly. Aystyn was in shock, how? Why? This all made no sense! Why would he try to kill her? She thought Darian loved her and what about Julian
Arystyn had worked long and hard and after 6 months had finally learned how to control when she shifted and was at full capacity with her strength and speed. She had worked endless hours at learning fighting techniques that Alex insisted that she needed. Arystyn was still extremely angry at Darian and Julianne and wanted nothing more than to get revenge! All she could think about was ripping Darian’s throat out the way he had done hers. Slowly Arystyn regained her memories of the night she was attacked. She remembered Darian's wolf form ripping at her throat with his teeth and then Julianne dragging her by her feet into the alley before she lost consciousness. What she couldn’t remember or understand was why. She was able to slowly regain her life but was under constant supervision from the pack and remained in residence at the pack home. She had not conceded to join the pack officially because she would not succumb to the duties of a traditional Luna. She refused to give up her indep
Arystyn went back to the pack house to gather her thoughts. She was in her room when there was a knock at the door. "Come in" Arystyn yelled. Alex walked in, Do you have a minute? he asked. Arystyn.was so angry! She looked at him and screamed I fucking hate this! She could feel her temperature rising and her head started to spin. She felt it coming on, her head started to ring and she knew it was coming! Her face contorted and she could feel her bones cracking under her skin. She was shifting! Arystyn could see her reflection in the mirror and saw the silhouette of her wolf on the wall. Before she could get control she was lunging at Alex! Alex reacted quickly and had her pinned to the floor all the while coaxing her softly to pace her breathing and try and relax. She was able to relax and monitor her breathing and finally shifted back to human form. Alex held her close in his arms still stroking her hair and kissing her head. Arystyn reacted to his touch and strained against him raisi
Arystyn stood in front of Fredrickson’s Art Gallery. She took a deep breath and opened the door. She walked into the gallery walked straight up to Darian Fredrickson and threw her arms around him. “Oh, Darian I am so happy to see you!” Darian's face went pale and his words stammered as he tried to get over his shock, oh baby I’m so glad you have been found safe and sound! Arystyn wanted nothing more than to yell and curse at him and tell him to give her the fucking money back that he had stolen from her, but instead pretended as if she didn’t know about her inheritance and that nothing was wrong. She was going to love him and his little whore to death. The following week Arystyn was elbow-deep in Artwork. Once finding out she was alive and back in business, past clients came out of the woodwork! Things were back to normal or at least as far as anyone else knew. Alex was not happy about what she was doing he flatly stated he wouldn't help her but he wouldn't stand in her way. Darian c
Arystyn waited as she heard the ringing at the end of the line when she heard Julianne's voice answer Hey Arystyn! What's up? How do you feel about going out on the town like in old times? Julianne said He'll yeah girl it's been too long! Arystyn couldn't remember the last time she had danced so much and did enjoy being out for a change. She did need to go pee though and told Julianne she'd be back in a few minutes. She started to the bathroom but caught movement out of the corner of her eye so she followed but jumped into a narrow hallway to keep from being slammed in the face by the door. Out of the door walked Drake and he was talking on his phone. " I told you I'd take care of the bossy little Boich but then I want my part of her fortune but you can't tell Alex because he has the hots for her! Arystyn was in total shock! Was he talking about her? What did Drake have against her and who was he talking to? Arystyn walked back to the bar and looked around for Julianne but didn't see
Arystyn arrived at the pack house just as dusk was about to set in. “Where have you been?” Drake asked as she started up the stairs to her room. “I don’t see where that’s any of your business”, she replied matter of factly. Drake set all his things down and gave her his full attention. "A life for a life. I saved your life, and in exchange, it will belong to me. When this is all said and done, you will be mine."I belong to no one," she hissed The temperature in her body started to rise, and she felt her inner wolf stir awake.He chuckled. "That's where you're wrong.You no longer have a choice in the matter."Before she could control it, her canines slid out and her claws extended. A rumble deep in her throat sounded and she was ready to rip Drake apart, consequences be damned. Calm down, You try to kill me, and you won't like what happens."Arystyn knew she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She still didn’t know who had attacked her and ultimately turned her into a werewolf
