KOOKIE MORNINGSTAR DIED

KOOKIE:

My paws pound relentlessly against the earth as I run through the forest, stretching endlessly before me. I don’t know where I’m going, but I know I am never turning back.

The thought of staying back in that pack means a lifetime of lies, of watching them pretend they never broke me. My baby deserves better than a father like Levi—or even my family. It is my duty to protect her, and I will do so even if it costs me my life.

Exhaustion soon takes over, and the setting sun begins to give way to the moon. I’ve run so far that nothing smells familiar anymore—just the leafy green trees, which remind me of the herbs we practiced with in school.

Finally, my legs give out, and my wolf shifts back against my will, causing me to collapse onto the cold forest floor, gasping for air. I lean against the rough bark of a tree, pressing my trembling hand to my chest.

A sudden crackle splits through the sky, causing me to snap my head up as lightning flashes in the distance, illuminating the forest. A storm is coming, so I force myself to my feet, pushing my sluggish body to search for shelter.

Shortly, the clouds open up, and my skin is met with droplets from the sky. A shiver cracks through my spine as the cold engulfs my body, but I refuse to give up. I keep walking until I see a hole up ahead. I rush towards it, relieved to see that it is a cave. It isn’t much—just a jagged opening in the mountainside, but it will have to do. I crawl inside, wrapping my arms around myself as the storm intensifies. My body aches, and I silently curse Levi for my misfortune. I vow to have my revenge as I grovel in tears and pain, but it doesn’t take long for sleep to take me.

**

A foul stench of rotten meat attacks my nostrils, causing my eyes to flicker open as fear grips my chest. A loud growl echoes outside.

Rogues.

I don’t move as I try to think of a plan to escape, but then the entrance of the cave lights up with three pairs of yellow eyes.

“She smells so nice. Our little meal is waiting to be devoured.” A man says, causing my heart to skip a beat.

A cackle escapes their lips, and I push myself up slowly, my heart hammering against my chest. Before I can react, they shift to human form, and one of them grabs my hand, dragging me out of the cave as my body scrapes against the rocky ground.

I want to question the Moon Goddess for my misfortune, but I am clearly at the bottom of her list of creations that she cares about.

“I want her first,” the man I assume is the leader says, and I shake my head.

“I’m pregnant,” I blurt out, hoping that will remedy my situation. But they are rogues who have lost all sense of humanity, and they let out a heart-wrenching laugh.

“You think that will stop us?” The leader chuckles, reaching for the already torn fabric of my dress.

I kick his face, trying to transform, but he lands a heavy slap on me, sending me crashing to the ground. The pain burns through my cheeks as he pins me down.

“Why take turns when we can all devour her at once?” he asks, and they all agree, hovering around me as he hurriedly unbuckles his pants. I shut my eyes, struggling against him, waiting for the agonizing moment with tears crawling down my face.

Just when I think it’s over, a deafening roar shakes the forest.

The man freezes, his grip on me loosening as a massive wolf appears from nowhere, colliding with the nearest rogue and sending him crashing into the cave wall.

The leader abandons me completely as he transforms.

They all lunge at the wolf, and before me unfolds a brutal fight. The wolf fights like a beast possessed, but the rogues are many. One sinks his teeth into the wolf’s side, another slashes his flank, and he lets out a howl that shakes the forest.

I should run while I have the chance, but guilt anchors my feet to the ground as I watch the wolf defend himself against the three rogues. As the last rogue flees into the woods, the wolf stumbles, collapsing onto the floor. His breathing is labored, blood pooling beneath him.

I rush toward him.

“Go,” he rasps. “They might come back.”

I shake my head because I know I can save him from dying.

“I’m not leaving you, because I’m a doctor, and that would be an insult to my profession.”

My hands tremble as I scan his wounds. I don’t have medical supplies, but I know there are herbs around. So, I set out to gather them. I grind them into a paste using two stones, then rush back to him, pressing the mixture to his wounds.

He winces in pain for a while before it soothes him, and his bleeding stops. I help him onto his back, resting him against the cave wall.

“What’s your name?” he asks, and I hesitate.

“Sage NightMoon,” I blurt out.

With one hand across his injured belly, he stretches out the other. “I’m Elias. Alpha of Moon Candy.”

Moon Candy? What kind of pack bears such a ridiculous name? I question myself.

“It’s like a refugee camp,” he adds, as if sensing my confusion. “For those with nowhere to go. Fugitives and lost souls. People like you and me.” He bores his eyes into mine. “You can come with me because we need a doctor. I know we’re still a growing pack, but in a few years, we will—”

“Take me there,” I cut him off.

I have nothing left, so there’s no point in contemplating a place that will offer me shelter and a new life.

And just like that, Kookie Morningstar died.

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   PRETENDING

    LEVI:My word detonates like a bomb in Kookie’s head as she turns with venom in her voice.“What?”Her voice bounces off the wall. If Blue doesn’t wake up, then she really is a deep sleeper, because the echo is high enough to wake the dead.“Kookie, Blue is an alpha princess. She is royalty, and she needs to live like one.”Those are the wrong choice of words, but they have already left my mouth before I can stop them.“No!” Her hands form a fist. “She has been living fine without being decorated and paraded as an heir. I do not want that to change. You do not even know if she wants that. Have you considered how she will feel? For days now, I have only thought of how to break the news to her subtly, but you act like it is just a walk in the park.”“That is not what—”“Th

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   SQUARE ONE

    LEVI:It has been three days since Kookie and I got together. In the space of seventy-two hours, I have built a future with her in my mind. I have practiced asking her to marry me, asking that we move in as a family, but the more I think of it, the more it scares me. I do not want anything that will make her spiral, but I want to be with her.She hasn’t come around in three days, and it is killing me. I want to hold her again, and this time I do not want to let her go. I want her to be with me forever.“I have put together a list of things working well in this pack and those that are not working,” Donald says, cutting through my thoughts.My mind is back in the present, and I remember that I have a meeting with my assistant concerning the pack. I try to remain in the present as he goes over the list, but I cannot, as I am easily swayed by the thoughts of Kookie and Blue.

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   WORK

    KOOKIE:My eyes jolt awake forcefully, and I look around, trying to make out my environment. Then I feel something around my body, which draws my mind back to the present as Levi’s hands cup the side of my body, tugging me towards him. I shift closer to him, and he turns to me.“What is wrong?” he rasps in a tired voice, and I shake my head.I do not know how long I slept, but I am trying to remember if I forgot something. My mind walks through the list. Blue is home with my mum, I do not have to be at the general hospital, and...“Oh, my goddess!” I yelp, pushing Levi’s arms away. I jump out of bed, trying to gather my clothes while Levi struggles to get up.He is still rubbing his eyes while I struggle to get into my dress, which is crumpled.“What is the matter?” He asks, staring at me, half-asleep. I walk to the mirror to zip my dress.

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   MY DAUGHTER

    KOOKIE:The sound of his zipper opening sends a chill crawling down my spine. Levi’s eyes don’t leave mine as he strips the rest of the way. He tosses his pants away, and my breath stops. I take his length in, my heart thumping with anticipation. My eyes meet his gaze, and my face reddens.“It’s all yours,” he whispers, rubbing soothing circles on my thighs. I love how gentle he is, but a part of me doesn’t want him treating me like some delicate material that would break.I want every inch of him, but… I do not know how to say that to him, not when it feels like I am walking on eggshells around him. I pull him to me again, capturing his mouth in a kiss. His weight sinks over mine, and I wrap my legs around his waist, his bare length pressing against my stomach. His hands slide under my thighs, pushing me away slightly.H

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   SLOW

    LEVI:I pull away from Kookie, panting, and as I turn to see Donald standing with Elder Patrick, my brow wrinkles. They both scurry out of the room while Kookie sits still. Knowing this is about Leila makes me angry, and the way Kookie’s face contorts shows she knows too.Clearing my throat, I get to my feet. She sits up, and I put out my hand, expecting her to slap it away or say it was all a mistake, but she takes it.“I am sorry that happened,” I apologize, and she puts on what I think is a fake smile. “Will you wait for me while I take care of it?” I question.“Sure.”Her answer makes my heart jump in excitement. She isn’t running from me anymore. I walk her to the back door of the room, which leads to the hall to my bedroom, and as soon as she is gone, my brow falls flat. I march to the door, drawing it open to see both Donald and Patrick still standing. My heart is raging, and Patrick is

    KOOKIE:“It is not that easy,” I say in a low voice, with my heart pounding so hard that I can barely breathe.“It is a simple yes or no.” His voice hits home, and I turn my face with my brows wrinkled, shoving at his chest, but he doesn’t move.“You act like it is fucking easy to make a choice!” My voice goes higher than intended. “Like it is easy to stop loving someone who engraved their entire existence in you. Like it is easy to make yourself hate them and move on with your life.”Tears crawl down my face as I speak, and my voice cracks, but I do not stop.“Making a choice for our daughter was the hardest decision ever, and you can hate me all you want, but I do not regret it.” I sniff, wiping the tears in my eyes.Levi takes a step forward, and I think he wants to give me space to breathe, but his hands wrap around my body, pulling me to his chest. Just like that, the dam of tears overflows, and I am bawling my eyes out on his chest. My body is so weak that I cannot even resist.
