Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess 14. Who are you Liberty?
Maverick povI’m in my office thinking back to today. The spar with Hartley was intense. I didn’t expect that level of violence and aggression from him. We’d sparred before and we’re both out to win but not to harm each other. Until now that is.Is this because of Liberty? Does he feel a pull to her? They’re not mates because they would’ve said something if they were. She and I are not mates either. She couldn’t have recognised me as her mate but I could have recognised her./Unless she also used a scent suppressing tincture,/ Gunner offers. /What are the odds? Most wolves and lycans alike want to find their mate.//We do too eventually but not now,/ Gunner checks with me. He and I don’t see completely eye to eye on the matter of actively postponing finding our mate. He feels that if we meet her it’s fate. According to Gunner you don’t mess with fate. “Maverick! Can I come and see you?” York practically shouts through the mindlink causing me to startle.“Yeah sure.” I sigh while I

Liberty povMadelin and I walk back to the White Hart Inn where we’re staying during the selection trials. Madelin is recapping the day, telling how impressed she is with my calm demeanor and level head. How far I’ve come in just three months. I let her words flow over me like a calming stream. Her voice is warm and soothing. My mind is elsewhere, during my first selection attempt I was attacked by rogues on the second day. Things are different now. The selection is a knock-out instead of at the end of the trial days. Maybe that means there’s no rogues tomorrow? Can I take the risk that there will be rogues tomorrow?I cringe when I think back to that day. During the second day I was attacked by rogues. I was nowhere near competent enough to fight him off on my own but with Naveah I should have at least been able to hold my own. But I couldn’t reach her, she was gone. My father broke all rules to save me that day. Viera admitted to giving me wolfsbane shortly before I died. But I
Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess 12. Maverick vs Hartley
King Truett’s eyes glaze over, showing he is mindlinking someone. When they clear he looks at his sons. “As you both seem to be eager to fight today you will fight each other. The last match is finished, the field is yours. Now get down and get whatever pent up energy and issues out of your systems, his entire demeanor is stern. Slowly I relax, it seems that I get to live another day. The discontent is written on Hartley’s face, but he knows better than to go against his father.“Father, I apologise you were right this is not the time nor the place for a Lycan prince to spar,” Hartley tries backing out.“Ah but little brother, just a few minutes ago you were chomping at the bit to spar. Was it just a ruse to get your hands on the talented archer over here?” Maverick is now openly calling his brother out. This can not end well. The question is for who will this not end well? Me? Hartley? Maverick? The two brothers stare at each other, neither is able to keep the disdain for the
Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess 11. Alpha John
Liberty povI walk back to the bleachers with Madelin and Gamma Heath. Everyone who we pass on our way up the stairs to where we have our seats pats my back, high fives or yells congratulations at me. I feel exhilarated and revel in the praise. All the time we stop for a short chat or to receive a congratulation. Everyone knows my name. Most are honest enough to admit that I surprised them today. My reputation as the Alpha’s daughter who does nothing is solid. Even now my body is clearly that of a warrior people expect near to nothing of me. Just when we pass the royal box a hand grabs my shoulder from behind, fingernails dig into my skin causing me to flinch. “I expected today to be the same boring match as every other selection day but you proved me wrong,” A rough voice sounds from behind me. I turn my head to look over my shoulder and look into the cold grey eyes of Alpha John. Alpha John is feared throughout the packs for his misogyny and unnecessary cruelty. His first and secon

Maverick povFinally I have a quiet day for myself. Over the past weeks everyone has been busy preparing for the Academy selection days. I don’t really care for them. It’s werewolves from different packs fighting each other to qualify the Royal Academy. The selection is determined by winning matches not by talent or potential. Every time those who have been training the longest and hardest make it. On multiple occasions I’ve explained to my father that we should have a more varied assession, taking not only muscle and weapon skills into consideration but also intelligence and the ability to quickly strategise. My father, comme habitude, ignored my input and listened to my brawny halfbrother. Hartley is lobbying to make the matches more dangerous by allowing contenders to get maimed or seriously injured but also die.It’s stupid to thin your population of potentially good fighters this way. When I’m King I’ll fix it somehow./You’d need to focus on becoming Crowned Prince first you c
Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess 9. Tell or not
Liberty pov /What have we done!/ I may have acted calm, collected and self assured but inside it’s panic. This was a non-lethal competition. Using silver tipped arrows makes it very lethal. The internal panic is real./We called his bluff?/ Naveah suggests./Hardly! we could easily die because of this!/ /We won’t,/ Naveah seems sure of herself, / Deep breaths and focus!/ I see Beta Xander walking towards me and Danny holding two blindfolds, two apples and two silver tipped arrows. Danny still looks appropriately terrified and pale.“Do you want to chicken out Danny? Admit that you were defeated by a girl with hardly any archery skill?” Is ask him. “Never!” he quickly replies. But I can see the panic in his eyesJust like me he is only 17 years old. But I’ve already died once giving me the advantage of knowing that death itself is not the problem. It’s the road leading to that final moment that can be harrowing. There’s only a lucky few that get to pass away peacefully in their slee
