Nightshade Chapter 18: Helga III
The room went completely silent.“You’re saying she has to mate with Damien,” Kade slowly said. “Complete the bond, before the spell breaks?”“Yes.”“But the Alpha forbade any contact.” Maya protested. “He said if Damien even sees her…”“Then I’m exiled immediately,” I finished. “Which means I can’t finish the bond without being kicked out. And I can’t shift without completing the bond.”“Magnus set you an impossible task.” Helga said. “whether he understands the nature of your binding or simply wants you gone, the result is the same. You were never meant to succeed.”“Does the alpha know?” I asked. “About the spell? About who I am?”“that,” Helga said carefully, is a question I cannot answer. “But I can tell you this…Alpha Magnus is not what he appears. His hands are not clean. And if I were you, I would trust him with nothing.”“Then what do I do?” my voice cracked. “Just give up? Accept exile?”“No.” the witch stood and moved to a shelf, pulling down several items. Cloth bags of he
Nightshade Capter 17: Helga II
Helga’s cottage was nothing like I expected. No bubbling cauldrons or jars with suspicious ingredients. No animal skulls or dark magic symbols carved on walls. Just…a home. A warm and inviting one with herbs drying from the ceiling beam, a crackling fireplace and shelves lined with old books. It looked more like a scholar’s library than a witch’s lair. “Sit,” she said, gesturing to a worn wooden table in the center of the room. Three chairs waited, almost like she’d known exactly how many of us would come.We sat, warily. Kade positioned himself closest to the door, in case we needed to run. Maya sat beside me, protectively close enough that are shoulders touched.Helga moved to a shelf and pulled down a leather bound book. One so old the cover had cracks on it. She set it on the table and finally looked directly at me.“That pendant, where did you get it?” she asked.My hand instinctively flew to my throat. “it’s the only thing I have from…. before.”“Before what?”“Before I was fo
Nightshade Chapter 16: Helga
Everything happened at once. Two of the rogues shifted. The transformation was a fast and brutal one as two massive wolves launched forward. Kade met them head-on, his own shift instantaneous. A brown wolf with streaks of golder larger and faster than the rogues.Maya shifted beside me, a graceful grey wolf. She positioned herself betweene and the scarred man who was still circling us in human form."You can't shift, can you?" The man said, his eyes gleaming. "That's what smells wrong, you're a broken wolf."Fear flooded through me, sharp and cold."Actually," Maya's spoke in her wolf form, "she's protected and you're about to find out why.". The man lunged, shift mid leap into a massive grey wolf.Maya intercepted him and they collided in a snarling mass of fur and teeth. The rogue was twice her size, experienced and brutal. She was outmatched. He slammed her into a tree with a sickening crunch. She hit the ground and didn't get up."MAYA!" I screamed.The wolf turned toward me, l
Nightshade Chapter 15: Into the wild II
I woke up before dawn feeling like I hadn't slept at all.The bond pulled constantly now. A dull ache that I was starting to realize would be my companion for the next few months.I quickly showered and changed into clothes appropriate for travel. Worn jeans, a T shirt and my sturdiest boots.Margaret was waiting for us in the kitchen with three packed bags when I arrived."Food, water, basic medical supplies and this...." She pressed something into my hand. A vial of silver liquid that seemed to glow faintly in the predawn light. "It's wolfsbane extract. Diluted enough that it won't hurt you but strong enough to deter rogues. Don't use it unless absolutely necessary.""Where did you get this?" I asked staring at the vial."Beat you don't know." Margaret's expression was grim. "Just promise me you'll be careful. The neutral territories are extremely dangerous. They're not like pack lands.""I'll be careful, Maggie.""And Sera..." She pulled me into a fierce hug. "Come back safely."
Nightshade Chapter 14: The witch
The walk back to the pack house felt like miles even though it was barely half of one.Every step away from him made the bond in my chest pull tighter. Not painful but quite insistent like an Invisible rope tugging me backwards.Turn around. He's right there. Just go back. It whispered.Margaret's arm stayed firm around my waist, supporting me when my legs wanted to give out. She didn't speak. Didn't offer false comfort. Just walked with me, steadily, while my whole world crumbled around us. I'd always thought I'd at least be loved by my mate. We'd both live happily with our kids. That I'd get to experience what it felt like to have a family of my own. But fate had once again played a cruel joke. We made it to the packhouse through the back entrance, avoiding the main halls where curious wolves might see. Down the servants stairs, through the basement corridor with its flickering lights and water stained walls, and finally to my door.Margaret released me, following me inside my tin
Nightshade Recognition II
Damien finally looked directly at me and the conflict in his eyes was painful to look at. Want and rejection, need and disgust. The bond pulled him towards me while everything else pushed him away."I'm sorry." He said, and.he sounded like he actually meant it. "But yes, I can't.""Then reject her properly." Magnus said with satisfaction evident in his voice. "Do it now. Break the bond before it has a chance to fully form.""If he rejects her, the pain....""I don't care about her pain!" Magnus' roar echoed. "I care about this pack! I care about my son's future. I care about maintaining the reputation of Moonstone! I don't care if rejecting her kills her! There words hung in the air, brutal and honest."It won't kill her," Mara quietly said. "The bond is new. But it will hurt. Both of them.""I can handle the pain." Damien said, his voice hollow."Can you?" Mara's voice was sharp. "The mate bond isn't just emotional, boy. It's spiritual. Physical. Rejection sickness can last for month
Nightshade Beneath the full moon II
"All young wolves participating in today's ceremony please gather at the platform." My stomach dropped as the announcement echoed across the clearing. "This was it." Margaret appeared at my side pulling me into one fierce hug. "Remember, you're stronger than you know, and I love you, always." sh

Time stopped.That's the only way I could describe it. One moment I was standing in the center of the ceremonial circle, tears streaming down my face, feeling like the biggest failure the pack had never seen. The next moment the air shifted, thick and electric and a scent hit me so powerful it alm

The day before the ceremony passed in a haze of fear and preparation. Margaret kept me extremely busy perhaps sensing that me being idle would only give me the time to spiral into panic. She had me knead bread until my arms ached, chop vegetables until my fingers cramped and scrub pots until th

"Ironwood Pack would offer you a sanctuary. A place where you can freely live, work that's fairly compensated, as well as respect and dignity as a pack member. My father has no idea that I'm making this offer, he'd probably be livid if he did, but I don't care. No one should ever have to live the
