Charlie Hale was an adventurous, outgoing and strong willed young girl. She was raised by loving parents Jessica and Jacobi along with her younger brother Aaron. Charlie and her family are all werewolves and lived in relative peace. That was until the summer Charlie turned 10 she was starting warrior training with her mom. Jessica wasn't in any way trying to make her daughter into a warrior; she simply wanted her to be able to defend herself. As much as Charlie's grandmother protested suggesting that Charlie should put running around with her friends doing things normal preteens do and not being traing until she turned 15 per pack regulations.

Ethan Silvermoon is the second son of Alpha Raymond Silvermoon alpha of the spirit mountain pack in Nevada. For generations the spirit mountain pack has put their main focus on being the strongest pack in the country. It has become tradition that the alpha rules with an iron fist. Frequent and grueling training sessions were required for all packs members starting at age 5. The training started out easy focusing on defensive and conditioning techniques. The training would steadily become more difficult with each passing year. On top of everything else only behavior that the alpha deemed acceptable was allowed, there was no drama allowed and anyone who made a scene or did anything the alpha saw as embarrassing was punished severely. At times Ethan felt like his father saw life as all business all the time and fun wasn't allowed.Ethan never agreed with that perspective; he enjoyed playing games and simply being a kid. He played pranks and acted reckless which didn't sit well with his f

The Hale Family Living RoomThe living room is cozy, filled with warm light from the setting sun filtering through the large windows. Family photos line the walls, capturing moments of joy and togetherness. Jessica Hale, a strong yet gentle woman, sits on the couch, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. Jacobi, her husband, stands by the window, his expression a mix of concern and determination. Charlie, their 15-year-old daughter, sits on the floor, her back against the couch, arms wrapped tightly around her legs with her chin on her knees staring blankly at the wall. Aaron, her 12-year-old brother, is quietly assembling the Lego set he got for his birthday, glancing at his sister occasionally.Jessica: (softly) “Charlie, honey, can we talk about the academy again?”Charlie shifts slightly but doesn’t respond. The tension in the room is palpable.*Jacobi: (turning from the window) “We know this is hard for you, but we really believe this could help. It’s a safe place, and there are o

The art room is a spacious, sunlit area filled with easels, canvases, and various art supplies scattered about. The walls are adorned with student artwork, showcasing a mix of styles and mediums. A large table in the center is surrounded by students chatting and working on their projects. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, with the faint sound of music playing in the background. Charlie stands at the entrance, nervously clutching her sketchbook, looking at the ground debating if this is actually a good idea or not. I'm a moment of bravery. Charlie lifts her head and looks into the room. As soon as she does she spots her new friend Maya. Maya had been glancing at the door hoping and waiting for Charlie to show up. As soon as the girls make eye contact Maya’s face lights up with the biggest smile as she eagerly waves Charlie over.Maya:(grinning) “Charlie! You made it! Come on, let’s get you signed up. I'm so happy you came!”Charlie hesitates for a moment, taking in the lively scen

The soft glow of her phone illuminated Charlie's face as she settled into her cozy corner of her dorm room. The walls were adorned with sketches and paintings, remnants of her artistic spirit that wasn't simply about expressing her pain. She took a deep breath preparing for her first weekly check in with her family, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she tapped the FaceTime icon. The screen flickered to life, revealing her mom, Jessica, sitting in their living room back home. The familiar warmth of her mother's smile instantly eased Charlie's tension. "Hey, sweetheart!" Jessica beamed, her hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall of sunlight. "How was your first week?"Charlie couldn't help but grin. "It was amazing, Mom! The first day was terrifying and I was a nervous wreck but I met some really great people. Maya was my tour guide and she really helped me. Ethan, and Liam are also some new friends I made!" Jessica's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Tell me ab
