Seventeen-year-old Trixie has always believed she’s just a normal teen, adopted into a loving middle-class family and never curious about her biological roots. That all changes just weeks before her eighteenth birthday when a night out using a fake ID brings her to a nightclub—and directly into the path of Trevor, Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack. Unknowingly, Trixie has stepped into the heart of a werewolf territory, setting off a chain of events that will change her life forever. As the events following that night unfolds, she begins to discover that she is far more special than she ever imagined. Destined to join the pack, Trixie is fated to shift for the very first time on her 18th birthday. But she has no idea what’s coming—or how much her world is about to be turned upside down.

It was just another day of Summer break for me. I was serving today at the local diner, and it was slow for a Thursday afternoon. I was ready to go home, shower and go out with some of my friends. We had managed to get some fake IDs from one of the techy guys at our high school and we haven’t gotten to make use of them yet and our plans tonight were to try them on a local watering hole here before going to the city about 20 mins away and actually getting into some night clubs and bars. Lost in my thoughts about what tonight might hold and wiping down the tables in my section I felt a tap on my shoulder. Slightly startled I jump and look to see its just Sam. “Hey, you alright? I called your name a couple times.” She asked me. “Of course. Sorry, I was just hoping to get my section clean and side work done so I could get out of here kind of early tonight since it’s been so slow.”Sam is short for Samantha, She was just a bit older than me around 23 or so but she was already a server manager here, her family also owned it. She was sweet, like a big sister figure always watching and looking out for me over the last couple years since I started working here and giving sisterly advice. She was also very beautiful too. Tall for a woman about 5’9 with long wavy red hair and a pale completion and green eyes. She wouldn’t ever have trouble finding a date but preferred to remain single for some reason. “Okay, yeah I was just coming to tell you that I was cutting you for the night. Your section already looks great if you just want to roll about 25 silverware and load the dishwasher once for me; I’ll cover the rest of your side work so you can get out of here.” Sam just made my night. Smiling I run to the back and load the dish washer and get ready to roll those silverware and stop just a minute to send a text out in our group chat. Should be leaving the diner in 15 mins. Then head home to get ready for tonight. We still on?My group chat consists of just 4 of us all been friends since day 1 of freshman year: Jerica, Abby, Janet and myself. Its only 730pm so it was still early, and we had plenty of time still. Jumping in the shower now – JericaYou bet your sweet ass – Janet I’ll finish getting ready and come swoop everyone up - Abby Excitement filled me as I thought of all the fun we were going to have tonight! I finished rolling my silverware. Waved to Sam as she was refilling an older man’s coffee at the bar and took off out the side door. The diner was only a 10 min walk from my house, so I walked to and from work when scheduled and since I didn’t have my own car yet, it made the diner the easiest place to work even if it was only part time, I liked having my own bit of cash and not having to ask my parents for money to do everything all the time. I made it home about 8 pm and my parents were all cuddled up on the couch together under a blanket eating popcorn watching one of my mom’s favorite movies: Pride and Prejudice. Dad just peaked his head over the couch looking back. “where you off to in such a hurry?” raising just one eyebrow at me. “To shower dad; then Abby is going to come pick me up for a girl’s night out if that’s okay? We kind of had one planned for tonight and tomorrow?” I tell him looking down the stairs and giving him the best puppy dog eyes, I can manage. He pauses and looks at his phone for the time. My mom softly laughing knowing that I had my father wrapped around my finger and would get my way.“Tomorrow we all planned to sleep over at Abby’s house too!” I interjected so I would get a curfew for tomorrow night. If our IDs worked tonight, we had plan to go to a night club Jerica had found out about in the city and didn’t want to be worried about getting back here. My dad side eyed me and sighed. “Be home by midnight tonight. You can have your sleep over there but remember school is going to start back in about 3 weeks and you will need to work on getting on a school schedule at least a week ahead.” Smiling I yelled, “Thank you! Thank you!” I finish running upstairs to my bathroom and hop in and begin washing. My dad was right school would start in 3 weeks and I would go through my senior year with my 3 best friends and graduate and all that comes along with that. I’m not sure what comes after that but my dad was sure a planner and like his routine so I knew if I didn’t get myself on a schedule, he would put me on one in the coming weeks. I hoped out of the shower and scurried over to my room closing and locking the door to get ready. I throw my hair over towel drying my hair and looking in my closet to find a tight blue jean skirt that came about mid-thigh and a cute flowy blouse with spaghetti string straps with a strapless bra underneath. I figure brushed my hair and blew dried it some so my long blonde hair was wavy down to the middle of my back with my side part. I loved wearing my hair down and wavy; it made me feel like a mermaid or princess or something. I was doing some basic makeup and throwing on some lip gloss when I heard a small tap at my door. “Yes” I called. “Hey hun, mom fell asleep on me, so I just put her to bed and was going to lay down with her. I am not going to wait up tonight. I have work in the morning. I will be watching the doorbell in the morning, so you better be back on time. Good night I love you sweetie.” My dad whispered through the closed-door knowing mom was sleeping in the other room. “You knew she would do that.” I chuckle knowing my mom loved to watch movies but almost always fell asleep on dad watching them. “I will make sure I say I am home on the doorbell dad. Good night, love you.” I say softly back through the door. I heard him chuckle at my words and then his steps down the hall to their bedroom and the tv click on. Ding. My phone sounded off.In your driveway. All the lights are out so I didn’t want to honk. – AbbyI took one last look at myself in the full-length mirror in my room. The pink flowy blouse and the jean skirt hugged my curves in the right places and I knew I looked amazing with barely any make up and some wedges in my hands I went down stairs to met the girls in Abby’s car. I just knew this weekend was going to be great!By the end of the week, the pack finally felt like it was breathing again. Jerica was released from the hospital Saturday morning, her color restored, her strength returning in small but steady waves. She was still walking with caution, her ribs not yet fully mended, but the doctors agreed she was strong enough to recover at home. Physical therapy would begin on Monday, and though she pretended to dread it, Jake swore he saw a spark of determination in her eyes when she signed her release papers.Trixie had been her shadow all week, never missing a night at the hospital. Between classes and assignments, she’d made a point to sit beside Jerica’s bed, reviewing her own homework while explaining lessons to her friend. Jerica had laughed at one point, saying it felt like she had her own personal tutor. “You just don’t want me falling behind you,” she teased. But Trixie knew the truth — it wasn’t about school. It was about making sure Jerica knew she wasn’t alone.By Tuesday, Joe delivered
The sterile hospital smell hit me the second I pushed through the swinging doors, but it didn’t matter — I hardly noticed. My heart pounded in my ears, my footsteps echoing down the hall as I practically sprinted past the nurses’ station. I must’ve looked frantic, because one of them glanced up from her clipboard with wide eyes, but I didn’t stop. All I could think about was Jerica. Room 214.I nearly skidded around the corner, my hair slipping from its tie and bouncing against my shoulders. When I reached the doorway, I didn’t bother knocking. I burst in. Everyone’s heads snapped toward me — Jake, perched carefully on the edge of Jerica’s bed with a steaming bowl in his hand; Eric, leaning casually against the window frame; Melissa sitting in the visitor’s chair. And Jerica — my best friend — awake, upright, her hair a little mussed, a sling supporting her arm. She looked pale but alive.They all stared at me like I had grown two heads. “Where’s the fire?” Jerica asked, her lips curv
Jake’s POVSunday night had fallen, the room bathed in soft golden light from the lamp in the corner. The hospital always smelled faintly of antiseptic and herbs, but tonight it was almost comforting. Jerica was still asleep, though they’d finally unhooked the herbal drip earlier in the evening. It was progress, the kind that made everyone breathe a little easier — but she still hadn’t opened her eyes.I sat beside her, her delicate hand resting in mine. My thumb traced slow circles across the back of it, the pattern familiar, soothing to both of us. I hummed the lullaby I always did when it was just us now, only this time Melissa was in the room too. She insisted on staying the night, and said she wanted to be here when her baby woke up. I didn’t mind. Jerica deserved all the love in the world, and if Melissa could give her another piece of it, all the better.Laying my head on the mattress, I turned to look at Jerica’s face. The worst of the bruises had faded now. The lighter ones w
Trixie’s POVWhen I woke up that morning, the first thing I noticed was the single rose lying delicately on the pillow beside me. A folded note rested underneath it, Trevor’s familiar, precise handwriting scrawled across the paper.Had to leave early. Meeting with Alpha Sam today. Thomas will be downstairs at 7 a.m. to take you to school. Love you. –TI smiled faintly, picking up the rose and bringing it to my nose. It smelled fresh, sweet — just like him. It was a thoughtful gesture, sure, but part of me couldn’t help the sigh that slipped out. A flower was nice… but a good morning kiss would’ve been better. Still, it was Trevor. His world was full of responsibilities, threats, and constant strategy. And even when he couldn’t be here, he still tried to leave me with a piece of himself. That thought softened the disappointment, at least a little.I slipped out of bed, went through my routine, and dressed for school. Jeans, a cozy sweater, hair pulled into a loose braid. Normal. I want
Trixie’s POVThe soft hum of the truck’s engine filled the space around us as Trevor drove us down the winding road toward my parents’ house. The sky outside was streaked with shades of lavender and gold, the last light of the evening sun giving way to the approaching night. I sat with my elbow propped against the window, absently tracing the fog of my breath on the glass, while the radio played a sad, soulful song I couldn’t resist singing along to.Trevor’s hand rested casually on the steering wheel, his other hand relaxed against his thigh. To anyone else, he probably looked calm and collected, but I knew him better than that. His jaw was set, his eyes focused straight ahead, and though he gave a little smile when I sang too loudly at the chorus, I could tell his thoughts were miles away. I softened my voice, watching him out of the corner of my eye. “You’re thinking too hard again,” I teased lightly. His gaze flicked to me for just a second before returning to the road. “Maybe,” h
Jake’s POVThe steady rhythm of the monitor was the only thing reminding me that Jerica was still here. Still breathing. Still fighting.I sat beside her hospital bed, my chair pulled as close as it could get without climbing in next to her. I hadn’t left her side since the moment we got her here. Not really. Even when Melissa and Eric forced me to step away for a shower or a meal, my mind stayed here. Always here.They’d been taking shifts — Melissa and Eric — so they didn’t burn out completely. They were better at reminding each other of that balance, better at stepping back for a few hours. But not me, my wolf scratched at me, restless, desperate to stay next to her. Leaving her felt wrong, like abandoning her when she needed me most. Laura had turned into a sweet, selfless Laura. She had been keeping us all afloat. She hated being left alone at the house, I could feel that even when she didn’t say it, but she was the kind of person who turned her worry into action. She cooked and
