The wolves jaws loosened too. No one was expecting me to offer them that kind of information.“Why would you want to help him?” Harlen scoffed icily. “He’s bottom of the barrel.”I held up a figure, stopping her. “No, that’s Cassar.”“Why?” Cassar asked. His face was serious as he considered my offer.I shrugged a shoulder. “I have my reasons.”“Not unless I know.”I clicked my tongue. “I guess you’re never going to know my secrets then.”I needed to let Baras free, but I knew it would take a lot for Cassar to agree. So I was willing to give him the second thing he wanted most. My story.Sometimes, sacrificing a little bit of yourself for someone else was necessary.But only once in a while.“Answer one question.” Cassar crossed his arms.I raised a brow, urging him on.“Is he a danger?” He asked. His question was heavy but a good one.I thought about it. “Probably.”“Then I cannot let him go.” Cassar said.“Cass, we’re shifters. We’re all dangerous.” I replied. “But if you meant to a
“So.” I smirked, looking at them expectantly. “You gonna kick me out now?”The six wolves just started laughing. And wouldn’t shut up.I looked at them expectantly. “Any day now.”“Of course not.” Vita smiled softly at me. “The longer you are here, the more you prove how much you deserve to be our Luna.”The others nodded their heads, agreeing with her.My jaw dropped.“What is wrong with you wolves?” I cried. “I mean I get Cassar still being obsessed with me. He’s a freak.”Cassar shrugged his shoulders.“But you guys? You’re supposed to be the smart ones.”The wolves just smiled softly at me.“To be honest, I didn’t want you to be our Luna.” Rose spoke up. The words surprising coming from such a sweet female. “I grew up hearing horror stories about foxes. Everyone has heard the stories of the Queen of Tricks who is driven by selfish greed.”She stared at me intensely. Her words were soft. She apologizing to me.“But then you risked your life to save those pups. You stood up to the F
It took three days for Baras to disappear. I had left the pack house to annoy him to death when I found an empty cave.The man-eating bear had run in the middle of the night to get away from me and the three days of hell according to him.I couldn’t help the smile on my face as I ran back to the pack house.For the next couple of weeks, I forced myself to go slow. I needed full health for my next plan.It wasn’t even noon yet when Cassar came strolling through the apartments front door. Perfectly tousled hair, dark scruff against his jaw, and a smirk on his lips.It was actually an awkward moment since I was right in the middle of going through all the classified documents he kept in a locked drawer beside his desk.He raised a brow and smirked, catching me red handed.I smiled innocently as I causally stood up, folding pages and putting them back inside.“I just thought I would be helpful by reorganizing.” I batted my eyelashes.Cassar wasn’t having it as he closed the door behind hi

She had watched Vienna the fox swiftly move through the forest, avoiding all species that were roaming the land. It did not take long for her to find the small cabin where the alphas had planned their secret meeting. Even she was impressed at the young fox's skills. It did not take the fox long to learn the details of the meeting, where it would be, who it was with, and most importantly, what it was about. There was a reason she had personally asked Vienna to look into the dealings of these alphas.Of course, Vienna did not know that it was the Goddess herself who hired her.Vienna had only been banished from the Fox's court for two weeks before she started wreaking havoc on anyone that crossed her path. Stealing, lying, cheating was all it took for Vienna to gain a reputation for being a trickster. It took Vienna five weeks to realise that her talents of wreaking havoc was of interest to others. Soon every creature around the world knew that if they were desperate enough, they could
The younger wolves of the pack were in the downstairs rec room playing video games. The sound of their constant banter making its way upstairs. Ribbing each other on their skill, or lack of skill from what I heard. I could also hear the background noises of the football game they were playing. They were getting ready for their real football game that would start in a couple of hours. I heard their laughs of joy as one team beat the others, and the sound of fists flying as one team did not beat the others. It had been a while since I had been inside a packhouse while no one was trying to kill me or torture me, but the day was still young. Goals were still set. The pack house was big, three floors, lots of space. The top floor had about ten bedrooms, six in permanent use, and four for guests. One of those I slept in last night. The second floor was a huge kitchen, where I was currently making myself a snack for the past twenty minutes. The other half of the second floor was a sitting
"My uncle wants me to stay here permanently. But I don't know if I could handle your guy's... rules." I grinned. The rules of never being allowed to steal, cheat, or lie for another person other than one alpha. Definitely too strict."My pack is a lot more lenient.""It's not as bad as you think. It's just a little training at six. Bed by Ten. You have to show up at every pack meeting. You get used to it." SJ gave me a wink, laughing at my face."Six? In the morning?" My eyes widened at just imagining the pain of trying to wake up that early.The pack members who were around laughed at my expression, nodding their heads. My face went blank. I sure as hell was not sticking around for long if he thought I was going to wake up anytime close to six o'clock."So you don't like to train?" A young female wolf asked. Her eyes narrowing at me. Not in a 'you suck' way, but a 'what kind of pack do you come from' way."Oh, I do. Just not in the morning. Never in the morning." I shuddered at the th
Walking into the clearing, making sure my fox scent was replaced by one similar to a wolf. It took most foxes years to learn the scent trick, some foxes never did. It took me two weeks of living on my own.As I shifted into my human skin my black tights, favourite hoodie, and white jacket appeared as if nothing had changed. When most creatures shifted into their animal form, the clothes they wore would rip from their changing bodies. Only a trained and highly skilled creature could master the ability to keep their clothes on their human form. I, of course, had been able to do it since I was a child.Not many creatures could. Some shifters never bothered to learn as a body was just a body. But I always found that when being hunted by my enemies, clothes made it a lot easier to blend in.I walked through the bushes that surrounded the clearing. The clearing was as big as a professional football field. Along the edges, wolves of all ages watched as the teams tackled each other. There was
