Father leaned forward on the large table, his hands clasped in front of him and his eyes, sharp. To his right, Theophilus sat straight in his seat, his lips pressed in a thin line and his usual scattered hair sleeked back.

The council room had already been occupied by the time I walked in, leaving me with a seat in between Alpha Arias and father who sat at the head of the table. I sunk into the chair, my back stiff and eyes hardened, as my gaze met the other members. Rhain, the warden of the lands was beside Theophilus. His brown skin had a sheen to it, dark brows outlining the dark blue colour of his eyes and a chisel-sharp jawline.

I felt the quiet tension in the room press down me, my attention flickering from one face to the other before finally landing on father. The alpha of the Valeras pack cleared his throat, and glanced at everyone seated. “Although, it was quite impromptu, this council had to be called,” he began, levelling his brows. “Yesterday, something entered our terri

  • OLIVER   Chapter 17

    “Explain this!” Father's voice boomed across the throne room. He was still in his daily attire when we met him, his eyes wild. He'd stared at the both of us with confusion and then, the next minute he was racing towards me to check all over for cuts or injuries.Arias had explained to him what occured at the hallway, and he was vibrating with so much fury, I was certian he'd shift.But he didn't.Instead, he calmed himself and sent for the guards. They’d walked into the room dumfounded, and unable to answer father's questions.Father shoved his hand into his hair, then pulled it down his face. They were no longer in their usual braids, flowing down his back in thick dark waves.“Father,” I finally spoke up when the guard he was questioning was close to sprinting out of the room, consequences be damned.“I don't think you understand the enormity of this, Olivier!” Father snapped, his eyes blazing with fury and just beneath, I saw it.The fear that radiated from his entire being.He hel

    I stumbled on my feet, catching myself by the wall. The embers threatened to reveal themselves, each breath I took hotter than the last.My vision blurred, as I managed to standup right. The temperature around me dropped, then rose—like the embers in me were physically fighting whatever it was that had tried to attack me. Right in front of Arias were shadows. I squinted my eyes to get a better look at what I was seeing, or not supposed to see. The shadows, they swirled and sizzled, clinging to the air.I watched them throb faintly, moving forward. Arias growled, careful not to attack full on. None of us could. We had no idea what we were looking at. The shadows dissolved slightly, revealing something that resembled a hand. It was stripped of flesh, its bones visible. I stared, my eyes widening a fraction as the shadow continued to dissolve, revealing legs. Actual legs. My gaze went lower and I noticed it was barefoot, claws tipped on every nail.My jaw clenched as I dipped low to w

    “All I’m saying is you give her a chance!”“A chance!?” My neck tilted, arms folded against my chest. Beside the wall I was leaning on, Keyleth stood staring at her reflection on the other end.“Give who a chance?” Another voice joined in, forcing me and Keyleth to stare at the entrance to find Aunt Aurelia, one eyebrow lifted and the corner of her lips raised in a knowing smirk.My expression went from blank to horrified all at once. I kicked off the wall and made to exit the room through the space beside her. Aunt Aurelia saw it coming, and was—unfortunately for me—faster. She blocked the space with her arm right across. “Stella.” The amusement evident in Keyleth's tone. She stepped away from her reflection after running her index finger just below her bottom lip and faced us.Aunt Aurelia's smirk faltered slightly, and her eyebrows pulled in worry. “What's wrong?” “Everything.”“Nothing.”Both Keyleth and I replied at the same time. I growled, flashing her a fang, my eyes practic

    The mirror in the corner of my bedroom gleamed, forcing my reflection back at me. Jaw clenched, I dug a hand into my hair, tugging at the roots and letting stray strands fall across my face. It was the night of the feast. I could already hear the sound of people gathering, soft chattering and music beyond the walls. The dark red tunic delivered to me to wear was slightly tight, clinging to my frame and revealing the shape of my biceps. Brown pants, looser and mismatched in size compared to the tunic I wore, fell freely over my legs. The colour of my eyes—a deep grey—stared back at me with the same intensity I was accustomed to. I let my shoulders slacken, noticing the way it dulled the same time the embers settled. They were never fully asleep. Always there, bristling beneath the surface.Sighing, I pushed away from the mirror, and walked towards the entrance of my bedroom. Dark boots clacking against the hard floors with each step I took.I was done checking my reflection.My door

    A slight smile broke out on father's face the moment he noticed who it was. He stood abruptly, “This council is dismissed.”Both Theophilus and Rhain pushed away from their seats at the same time, bowing their heads at Father and then, at Aunt Aurelia before scrambling out of the room.Aunt Aurelia stepped fully into the chamber. She was dark skinned like Father, her complexion smooth and deep, catching the light as though it belonged there. Her hair fell in long, dark waves down her back.There was a quiet authority to her presence, each step measured, each step calculated.“Aunt Aurelia!” I broke the silence, traces of excitement evident in my voice. I pushed out of the chair I was still seated on and moved towards the arm she had wide open. Engulfed in her embrace, she squeezed her arms around me. When she noticed the denser biceps on my arms than the one she was accustomed to, she leaned back, cracking a smile. Gods, you could see the resemblance between Father, Keyleth and her.
