LOGINDemon pretends he doesn’t notice the moment shift. This is a lie. He notices everything. He just chooses when to acknowledge it based on how entertaining the fallout might be. Right now, he’s leaning against a tree like a decorative menace, arms crossed, expression bored in the theatrical way that
The mate bond hits like a migraine wrapped in arrogance. I’m halfway through chewing a piece of dried fruit, of questionable origin, courtesy of Demon, when the pressure blooms behind my eyes, sharp and familiar and utterly unwelcome. You will listen to me. I choke, coughing as Raph immediately s

Across the hall, in the alpha suite, Nathan, Mark, and Lorn lay suffering the same as Demon has been. Their lunas are in the same way. After conferring with the other protectors, Zeus and Hera discover that all the wolves suffer similarly. The only ones not affected are the children who have not rec
The voices are relentless, echoing through this void that holds me captive. They whisper, taunt, and question me incessantly. Why have I not joined the rest? Why am I still sleeping?
