Three years had passed since the dreadful attack from Selmor, and a peaceful time had come to the Grey Moon pack. The ancestor, Darach, the oak tree from Agmysther had been the only thing that remained in our Realm. Except for the Druid, Grendal and his wifeās body that stayed behind as well.
We lost many pack members that day and had a proper rite burial by the magical oak tree that was now a part of our land. The magical powers from the Third Realm had left the area and hadnāt returned, which we all were grateful for.
Our pack rebuilt and repaired damages in the following months after the war. We lost over twenty pack members and we tried our best to provide solace for their mates and children. It was hard, it always is after a battle, but this one took more away than we had bargained for. It took
Hi lovelies! Thank you for reading Running with Wolves. Next up are some extra chapters! Enjoy. Lots of love, Xoxo Tawarriel
ā³ Aerin, Queen of Agmysther“You will be married in a fortnight, Aerin.” My mother announced as she opened the letter that she received from the village of Agmysther.“Do I have any say in the matter?” I replied curtly, not letting my emotions take free reign. I was expected to listen to my parents and not disobey them.“Why would you?” She answered with a gasp. “You are to become Queen.”Our marriage wasn’t one of love, but of convenience. My parents were noblemen from the South and I had inherited my Druidic powers from a long line of female Druids in my ancestry.We all knew that what the King from Agmysther wanted was power. I fitted into
ā³ Aerin, Queen of Agmysther“There must be something I can give to you.”I begged and I prayed, to spare my love from such a cruel demise. The King of Agmysther had no heart, no soul. He was as black as a night without stars.“What could you possibly give me?” His voice boomed through the room as he held me up by my throat, eyeing me as if I disgusted him. I had failed him, by loving another man.“More power?” I tried throwing him something he would be interested in, maybe I could offer him a spell or a brew that could make him happy, a reason to spare Viggo’s life.“I have everything I need.” He snarled. “And if I would want something else I would take it with a snap of my fingers.” He hissed against the skin of m

I suppose he had never heard of my species either, and I must've looked very strange to him.But when our eyes met, I felt something I had never felt before in my life. I was drawn to him in a way that I hadnāt sensed with any other male in all my years. It was mystical, like I could stare directly into the soul of this man and I recognized him as part of myself.āExcerpt from āRunning with wolves.āā³
ā³PernwĆ©l Iāve never been so lost in my life. Everything around me was different, I didnāt know where I was. The only thing I wanted right now is to be back in my bed and wish that this morning never happened. *Flashback. An ear-piercing sound forced me to open my eyes. I was in my room. I saw smoke coming beneath the crack of the door and alarm bells went off in my mind. We were under attack. I jumped up in a defensive stance and used my years of combat training to look around and assess the situation. I needed to move fa
ā³PernwĆ©l Pushing back the tears that tried to break free from my eyes, I got myself up from the ground and looked at the provisions that I had with me. Counting my weapons I had my sword, bow, two normal and one ignition arrow. In my belt were some knives and a dagger. I pulled my hood over my head and pointy ears to cover myself. The fabric was mossy green so I could hide better in the woods. My long silver hair would reflect the sunlight and I would be easier to spot. I was in unknown land and I had no idea what or whom lived here. Spotting some trees and rocks together I moved behind them to protect myself as I did some inventory on the rest of my belongings. In my bag I had water, some crackers and dried fruit. Typical warrior package for scouting. More daggers, two of which I put between the straps of my boots, handy for throwing. An extra hood and some warmer clothes in case the weather chan
š¾Alpha Jake My Beta Darren brought in a strange girl earlier. He claims that he found her in the woods on the daily patrol of our borders. Our pack is well hidden deep in the mountains so I donāt have a clue how she got here. We keep to ourselves because we train our warriors thouroughly and we donāt want anyone from the outside snooping around or finding out about our patrol schedule and training. There were a lot of neighboring packs that wanted to know more about Grey Moon, we had some of the best werewolf warriors in existence and we were self-sufficient and wealthy. We had alliances with other packs and we worked together in times of need or war but, being a big pack like ours leads to creating enemies based on border lines and jealousies, also resulting from time to time in a rogue attack. He said she was by herself and it didnāt look like she was planning anything against us. She was start
ā³PernwĆ©l The leader, Alpha Jake, had come to interrogate me. I get it. Iām on his land and he has to make sure Iām not a threat to his people. Iāve been a warrior my whole life knowing what to do in every situation because I was instructed to do so. This was a different situation. Iām alone, exhausted and definitely not in my village anymore. Even if I tried to make my escape I would be caught in a matter of minutes. I neednāt fight nor run at this point, so I answered his questions the best that I could and hoped that I would be spared. From his explanation of my whereabouts I found myself in a different world entirely. I never heard of shifters, less about werewolves. I saw before that it entailed to transform from wolf into man and vice versa. Just like normal wolves travel and hunt in packs, these people, werewolves, lived together in this little town. They call themselves the Grey Moo
š¾Alpha Jake After I left PernwĆ©l in the kitchen with Myriam and Anna, I retreated into my study. I had to think over a lot of things. Wolves mate for life, and there is only one person in the whole of existence chosen for you by the Moon Goddess, or so it says in our folklore and legends. Sometimes it happens that one of them dies before meeting each other after turning of age, and in these cases, it could happen that you would find a second chance mate. It is very rare, but Iāve seen it once before. If you are a werewolf you can find your mate after your eighteenth birthday. The bond can be triggered by smell, touch, or like I just witnessed in the basement, by looking into your mateās eyes. After looking into those beautiful green eyes I felt my wolf growl to life, expecting us to claim her right on the spot, but I had to approach this differently than a normal mate bond between two werewolves.
