The weight of the day pressed down on Elise long before the sun had fully risen.

She stood at the training grounds, kicking the edge of her feet against the ground, trying to steady her nerves.

The open field was filled with birds flying around and crickets chirping.

Around her, other pack members chatted quietly, waiting for their instructors to arrive.

But Elise barely noticed them.

Her mind was stuck somewhere between yesterday’s conversation with Thea and the strange dreams that haunted her all night.

The nightmares she had, each one whispering doubts she tried hard to silence.

“You don’t belong.”

The words clung to her like cobwebs.

She hugged her arms tighter around herself, feeling small despite everything people were starting to say about her.

Brave.

Special.

Destined for greatness.

They didn’t know the truth.

They didn’t know she didn’t even understand her own powers.

That she hadn’t earned any of this.

That deep down, she was still the girl who was scared of her own

    Elise stood at the foot of the stairs, her eyes lingering on the packhouse entrance. The house that once felt like a cage was now where she found her place, even if it was still filled with tension and questions.Strangely enough, it had become her home.But today, something tugged at her, she felt the need to face the past before moving forward. She had to go back to her aunt Thea’s house to retrieve her few belongings. She especially missed having a portrait of her mom. At least, that was the only thing that gave her the comfort she needed while she was at Thea’s place.Thinking about the portrait, she remembered that each time she felt like running away, she’d think back again after running up to her room and setting her eyes on the portrait. The smiles her mom had in the portrait, the way she looked at her on the day she was taking the portrait made things settle within her. It always gave her hope.She dressed quickly, barely thinking about it, and walked out. The sun was h

    Morning had come, and Elise was still turning and tossing in bed.She didn’t sleep last night.The parchment’s words haunted her like a curse echoing through the dark:The wolf without a wolf. The girl who should have died. You are not one of them. And soon, they will know it too.She sat on her bed, eyes fixed on the black feather still pulsing faintly on her nightstand. Her thoughts spiraled—was she really marked? Was she ever meant to survive?Her chest tightened at the memory of Becky’s milky eyes and that unnatural, rasping voice.And then—The scream.The magic.The way Becky vanished into the air like smoke.“Elise?” Kai’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. He knocked gently, but didn’t wait before stepping inside.“You didn’t sleep” he said, concern laced in every word as he saw the dark circles around her eyes.“I couldn’t” she admitted. “It feels like something’s crawling under my skin. Like I’m… being watched.” She looked down.He crossed to her, his expression softening

    Back at the packhouse, News of the school incident spread like wildfire. Whispered rumors burned everywhere and Elise’s name came up in hushed conversations.“She fought Becky yesterday…”“And then Becky vanished?”“You don’t think—”“No way, Elise wouldn’t—would she?”Elise walked through the halls, feeling the shift in how people looked at her. No longer just whispers of admiration. Now, there was suspicion. Unease.Again, Elise felt like it’d be best for the ground to open up for her to enter.Or better still, she could vanish — but she couldn’t. There was no hiding from this.She missed the days when no one paid any attention to her and she could just go in hiding after being bullied.Now, she was the talk of the town and in a bad way.She had always been talked about in a bad way, but not in a guilty way that seemed to tarnish her image.She could feel the weight of it, like invisible chains.At lunch, she sat with Kai and Lucien, but the dining hall was quieter than usual. P

    Elise stirred in bed, the morning light creeping through the window blinds, sending too much light across her face. Her body ached from the previous day’s confrontation, how then does Becky manage to fight everyone all the time?Doesn’t she feel this same pain? Elise thought to herself.Her whole body felt like it was struck against a big volcano. Especially her head and eyes. Her eyes were breathing on its own.But the physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional whirlwind storming inside her.She had stood her ground. She had won. But the victory didn’t feel sweet It felt ominous.The scent.That strange, unfamiliar scent from the woods clung to her memory like a bad dream.And the voice, the one that called her name with eerie familiarity still echoed in her mind.She sat up, rubbing her temples. The conversation she had with Kai after the fight replayed in her head. *** FLASHBACK FROM AFTER THE FIGHT ***Elise didn’t wait for more. She turned and walked out of the hal

    “Well, well, if it isn’t the newly minted princess of the pack,” Becky’s voice cut through the air like nails on a chalkboard.Elise tensed, and before she could even prepare herself for the encounter, Becky and Luka appeared, standing with their arms crossed, the same mocking expressions they always wore.“You think you’re better than everyone else now?” Becky taunted, stepping forward with that same, familiar arrogance. “Just because you’re with him? You think you’ve suddenly become someone special?”Elise’s stomach twisted, but she didn’t allow herself to react. She was no longer the shy, timid girl they had tormented. She couldn’t be. Not anymore.“I’m not the same girl, Becky,” Elise replied, keeping her voice calm. “And I don’t need your approval.”Becky’s lips curled into a cruel smile. “Oh, I think you do. What else would you do without me, huh? You’re just a nobody pretending to be someone important. Do you honestly think this will last? One day, you’ll be back in the gutter

    Earlier that day, Elise had felt a sense of unease. She didn’t know what it was, but she had a feeling that something was about to ruin her day.The truth was that, ever since the incidents in the woods on the silver moon ball, Elise had been able to tell how her day would go. At first, she thought it was just her normal self overthinking. She even tried to listen to songs that were said to clear one’s head.It didn’t work.The more she stayed at the packhouse, the more the ability to sense things grew. Since she woke up, Elise couldn’t help but think about what would happen today.If her feelings were going to be termed a false alarm or a clear warning at the end of the day.And just when she started to term it a false alarm, she got a text from the school.Looking at Kai’s face as if searching for answers, Elise looked back at her phone while reading the message on the screen.“Elise, we need you to come to the school immediately. Becky and Luka have caused a disturbance, and we

    “It’s okay, I mean, everyone has the freedom of speech” Kai said, smiling.of the pack member looked at one another, making eye contacts which indicated they were surprised. Kai, The lycan alpha was smiling after hearing about the allegations that were made about him not being able to choose a mate? They literally called him impotent!Although, Kai hadn’t been with any woman and rumors like that spread all over Archview, he still cared as it wasn’t to be heard that an alpha didn’t have a mate. Usually, he’d act like he didn’t care, but his expression would change upon hearing such news.But today, he was smiling! They did understand that Elise was his mate, but they weren’t quite sure he liked her.He had never liked anybody.Majority of them had disregarded it as him just finding a mate. And although, Elise was beautiful, she seemed naive and she was a nobody. Also, Kai and Elise hadn’t spent much time together, so they didn’t think anything had happened between them.“Well, I

  • The Alpha’s Moonbreather    CHAPTER 7

    Elise woke up from the dream she had. The one where she had gotten tipsy and embarrassed herself in front of Kai. She had been unsure about being tipsy. All she felt was her body burning up and causing her to dance. Although, it was her first time drinking, she had thought her body would warn her when she was getting tipsy. Little did she know, that Alcohol waits — and then it takes over.Which explains why she had only been a little tipsy, till she got back to her room. “Ughhh!” She groaned loudly. It wasn’t a dream! Her head felt like they were spinning, throbbing at each movement she made.Was she having a hangover?She was pretty sure she was.Elise tried to stand. Dragging herself, using every bit of her strength. She didn’t feel okay in anyway laying down.Maybe she’d feel okay standing up. She eventually stood, making an attempt to raise open the curtains, she staggered to the window.“Ouch!” She hissed in pain, fluttering her eyes shut!The light from the sun stabbe
