Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising "The Politics of Friendship"
The next morning brought an unexpected confrontation in the form of three Beta students cornering Desi outside her Political Theory seminar. She recognized all of them—children of influential families who moved in the same social circles as the Whitmore diplomatic network."Desi, we need to talk," announced Jessica Morrison, the daughter of an Alpha who controlled significant territory in the Pacific Northwest. Her tone was friendly but carried undertones of serious concern."About what?""About your new... friendship with the Omega scholarship student," said David Rodriguez, a Beta heir whose family ran supernatural legal networks across the Southwest. "People are starting to talk.""What people, and what are they saying?""Pack leaders who know your parents. Faculty members who evaluate student social dynamics for future recommendation letters. Other students who are reassessing their willingness to include you in study groups and social activities." Jessica's voice was carefully di
Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising "The Scholar's Sanctuary"
That evening, Desi found herself drawn to the academy's library—a massive Gothic structure that seemed to contain every book ever written about supernatural politics, pack management, and territorial law. She'd always found comfort in libraries, places where knowledge was valued above social status and intellectual curiosity was encouraged regardless of family background or pack designation.She was deep in research about historical approaches to pack hierarchy reform when she noticed a familiar figure hunched over a table in one of the library's quieter alcoves.Otto Moorland sat surrounded by stacks of books on conflict resolution and diplomatic theory, his wire-frame glasses reflecting the warm light from the reading lamps as he took careful notes in precise handwriting. He looked completely absorbed in his research, the kind of focused intellectual engagement that Desi had always found attractive in people regardless of their pack status or social connections."Mind if I join you?
Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising "The Advocate's Fire"
POV: Desi WhitmoreThe pack hierarchy demonstration left a bitter taste in Desi's mouth that had nothing to do with the cafeteria's overpriced coffee. She sat in the Eastmoor Hall common room, ostensibly working on her Political Theory assignment but actually replaying Derek Matthews's casual cruelty toward Otto Moorland with growing disgust."Dead weight anyway. Might as well make it official."The words echoed in her mind like a slap, not because they were particularly creative insults, but because they represented everything wrong with supernatural society's approach to pack hierarchy and social value. Derek had reduced a brilliant young diplomat to his pack designation and found him wanting, dismissing genuine capabilities because they didn't fit traditional Alpha-centric models of leadership.It was exactly the kind of systemic discrimination that Desi had spent years watching her parents navigate in their diplomatic careers—the assumption that worth was determined by inherited s
Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising "The Predator's Approach"
After dinner, Otto was walking back to Northwind Hall with a lightness in his step that he hadn't felt since arriving at Moonrise Academy. The successful pack coordination exercise, combined with Desi's public support and the genuine friendships he seemed to be developing, had given him hope that maybe he could find his place among the supernatural elite after all.He was so absorbed in reflecting on the day's positive developments that he almost didn't notice the figure stepping out of the shadows near the dormitory entrance."Otto Moorland?"The voice was cultured, warm, with the kind of natural charisma that made people instinctively trust the speaker. Otto turned to see Ian Greco approaching with a perfectly calibrated smile—friendly but not overwhelming, interested but not intrusive."Yes?" Otto adjusted his glasses nervously, recognizing Ian from orientation as the son of one of the most powerful supernatural political families in North America."Ian Greco. I don't think we've b
Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising "Seeking Truth" POV:
Desi WhitmoreI found Otto in the library's third-floor study section, hunched over a pile of textbooks with the kind of desperate concentration that suggested he was trying to lose himself in academic work.He looked up when I approached, and the mixture of hope and wariness in his expression made my heart clench with protective fury. Someone had hurt him. Someone had made him doubt what we'd shared the night before."Hey," I said softly, settling into the chair across from him. "Mind if I join you?""Of course not," he replied, but his voice carried a careful politeness that hadn't been there before. Like he was talking to an acquaintance instead of the girl who'd kissed his cheek under the stars."You left pretty quickly last night," I observed, keeping my tone light despite the tension radiating from his every movement. "I was hoping we could talk more.""Yeah, sorry about that." He closed his textbook with deliberate precision, not meeting my eyes. "I realized it was getting late
Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising "The Morning After"
POV: Desi WhitmoreThe whispers followed me through the corridors of Eastmoor Hall like persistent ghosts.I held my head high as I made my way to breakfast, my chin lifted in the kind of defiant posture my mother had taught me for navigating diplomatic receptions where enemies smiled while plotting your downfall. But this wasn't international politics—this was high school, which somehow felt both less important and infinitely more vicious."Did you see the way she was clinging to that Omega last night?""I heard her parents are mortified. Apparently they're considering pulling her from school.""Such a waste. She could have had any Alpha heir she wanted."Each comment was delivered just loudly enough for my supernatural hearing to catch, just quietly enough to maintain plausible deniability. The social warfare of pack teenagers, refined through generations of practice.I pushed through the Great Hall's heavy doors and immediately spotted my usual table—the one where Beta royalty gat
