LOGINCrystal’s POV I was taken aback. For a few seconds I was speechless. I opened my mouth expecting no sound to come out but I was wrong. "Was?" I was offended and it clearly showed. Tristan chuckled. "What's so funny?" I whined. "Why did you change your mind?" After the year Tristan and
I learnt as much as I could about leading the pack. I still didn't know how Tristan did it. I had barely just graduated high school and all these people looked at me waiting for guidance and protection. It was daunting and nerve racking but I tried my best. The AAP training helped too. I was g
Crystal’s POV (One year later) I learnt to speak in silence. At least around Tristan. When he got too quiet, I knew it was time to get him to a place of isolation where he could sit in his grief without the whole world watching him. I could tell the pack wasn't the same and though our loss
Roman still hadn't returned and I could tell Crystal was worried even though she didn't voice it out. Probably worried about what I might think. But I guess seeing as to how Roman had helped us both escape, maybe I could try to overlook my intense dislike for the guy. Meggy had gotten up sayin

"Not now, Raph." She spoke in a slightly hushed voice. The man ignored her completely and turned to me, taking a step closer in the process. I turned to look at Bridget but she was also just staring at him as if wondering how far he would go with this. He gave me a stern look. "Did you see the w
Bridget, Raphael and May were all having a conversation in code but it was kind of obvious what they were talking about. The security breach... the attack... the alpha's little brother... raising security... security and defence meeting... Captain Park... I thought they would take me home or at le
She did a double take at me. "Oh my! I forgot my manners, I apologise Luna, I should have addressed you first." Was it just me or did I detect sarcasm in her voice? I cringed. I bet if I wasn't a halfling and I wasn't connected to Roman, Ms Marin wouldn't have even known I existed. Ms Marin was o
FLASHBACK “Crystal. I need you to understand that things are different now - no baby - don't cry. It's just that you and I can't live together right now." I remember my barely fourteen year old self shedding tears. I remember being afraid, confused too. Abandoned. "Your Uncle Victor will take re
