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

Crystal’s POV Roman looked ahead not bothering to explain more on the matter. "It doesn't really matter either way. We keep some food in storage for when the hunt is weak. Otherwise everyone here learns to hunt after their first change." I saw a toddler giggling as they rode on the back of a huge
Crystal’s POV I could see the anger building in him. I didn't know what to say. Truth was that there was no answer that would satisfy Roman. Thankfully, the door swung open and one of the Shadow pack soldiers peeked in. "General, the alpha doesn't like to be kept waiting. You know that." "
Crystal’s POV I looked up at him. I clenched my fists at my side. I remember how Uncle Victor spoke about the Shadow pack. Everyone needed to bow down to Ornyx. They needed to become mindless zombies for him and follow him blindly. Of course I would be expected to do that. "I'm not bowing to
Crystal’s POV The cool water around me felt like a jumpstart I didn't know I needed. For a second I just wanted to be there. Pretend I was anywhere but where I was now. But that was kind of hard to do when my entire body was tense and I didn't know how much time I even had left. I heard some
