HALEY

“Olivia’s little friend. The one who didn’t want to come. The one who needed a little convincing to get here.” Her eyes gleamed at the reminder of Olivia kncking me out.

“She’s with us,” Olivia said quickly. “She’s just a scaredy cat. But she’ll come around.” She shot me a quick glance, “One way or another.”

Julie smirked, “You're right, one way or another she has no choice but to stick with us.”

“I am not with you!” I shouted, finding a spark of courage. “I didn’t agree to any of this!”

    HALEY“Olivia’s little friend. The one who didn’t want to come. The one who needed a little convincing to get here.” Her eyes gleamed at the reminder of Olivia kncking me out.“She’s with us,” Olivia said quickly. “She’s just a scaredy cat.

I want to go back! Take me home!”Julie stopped in front of me, her lips lifting into a smile that made my skin crawl.“Go back? Home? Did you seriously consider that prison, your home?”I looked away, saying nothing.She chuckled, shaking her head. “Let's say for instance you do go back to this ‘home’,” she said, making air quotes. “What exactly were you planning to tell them, Haley? That you were an innocent bystander in all of this? That Oli

    HALEY“You’re a monster!” I screamed, banging my fists on the window. “Stop the car!”“I’m saving your life, you idiot!” she yelled, her eyes glued to the dark road ahead. We were speeding away from the pack, deep into the trees.“I don’t want to be saved like this! I didn’t ask for this! You’ve ruined everything!”We argued, our voices getting louder and louder, more desperate. I begged. I threatened. I cried. But she just kept driving, her knuckles white on the wheel.“They’ll think you’re in on it too!” she snapped at one point. “You ran away with me! You’re guilty by association! Your only chance to live is with me now!”“That’s not true! I’ll tell them you kidnapped me! I’ll tell them everything!”Her head whipped toward me, her eyes blazing in the dark car. “You won’t get the chance.”I saw her hand come up. It was too fast.Pain exploded in the side of my head.Then, nothing.I woke up with a pounding headache. I was lying on a thin mattress in a dark room. It smelled like dust

    HALEYA few days beforeOlivia’s hand was wrapped tight around my wrist. She dragged me out of the meeting room so fast I nearly tripped over my own feet.“Olivia, what is going on? Why'd we leave?” I hissed. She just kept dragging me along, I tried to pull my hand out but it was no use. “Let go! You’re hurting me!”She didn’t answer. Her face was set, her eyes staring straight ahead. She pulled me down the hall, away from the sounds of the meeting, and out a side door into the hot afternoon sun.Outside, things seemed to go on as normal. No one even sparing us a glance as we walked by.“Olivia!” I tried to pull my arm back. “What are you doing? Where are we going?”“Shut up, Haley,” she snapped, her voice low and tense. “Just move. If you want to live, you’ll get in the car and stop talking.”“Car? What car?” I looked around and saw it. An old, dark sedan was parked behind the storage sheds, hidden from view of the main house. My heart started to pound. “Olivia, no. I’m not going any

    PENIEL“We can talk about practical things too,” I said. “About how to make our homes safer. About signs to watch for. About how to protect the children if... if it happens again.”Lin shook her head, but some of the anger had left her face. “It feels useless.”“It's not useless to fight despair,” Elara said softly. “That's what they want. For us to be too scared to live. For us to turn on each other. For us to give up.”We all looked at her. She had been so quiet since the attack.“My little brother is missing,” Elara said, her eyes glistening. “I think about him every second of the day, about where he is, if he's okay. But I also think about what he would want. He would want me to be brave. He would want me to help. So that's what I'm doing. Even if it's just sitting in a room and talking.”Another silence, but this one was different. Filled with understanding. We all were doing our best in the little way we could.A woman named Carla, wiped her eyes and spoke, “My daughter asks whe

  • The Alpha’s Treaty, Now His Luna   Holding it like a lifeline

    PENIELI spent the rest of the afternoon trying to keep busy. I checked on the rebuilding of the nursery. I helped sort donated clothes. Everywhere I went, I felt eyes on me. I heard whispers. No one said anything to my face, but the words floated in the air around me.‘Is she crazy? All this is her fault.’‘Why would she start it again?’‘She's asking for another attack.’I kept my head high. I smiled. I acted like I heard nothing.As the sun started to set, I went to the small living room we used for meetings. I cleaned it up. I pushed chairs into a circle. I lit a few candles. Then I waited.Silas found me there an hour later. He leaned in the doorway.“Well?” I asked.He hesitated. “I told them.”“How did it go?”“Fine.”I looked at him. “Don't lie to me, Silas. How. Did. It. Go?”He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “To be honest, it didn't go well, Peniel. Some of the women said they wouldn't come. They're too scared. Some said... other things.”“What other things?”He look

    PENIELI spent the next few hours going over lists. Food supplies. Medicine. Guard shifts. Repair teams. It was boring, detailed work. But it was important. It was the work of a Luna. Holding things together when they wanted to fall apart.By evening, I was exhausted. My whole body ached. I went back to our room to clean up.I was pulling a clean shirt over my head when the door opened. It was Luciano. He looked more tired than I felt.“Hey,” he greeted.“Hey, yourself.” I replied.“Long day?” he asked, his voice rough.“For both of us,” I answered.He came over and put his arms around me, resting his chin on my head. “I heard about what happened in the hall this morning. With Jax."“It's fine,” I mumbled into his chest.“It's not fine. He shouldn't have spoken to you like that.”“He's hurting. They all are.” I pulled back to look at him. “We have to let them be angry. As long as they still work. As long as they still help.”He sighed, running a hand down his face. “You're wiser than
