I toed the mat and revealed a solitary key. I turned it in my fingers, recognizing the symbolic reference to my situation. Key to a door, key to a new beginning. Mine.

I let my backpack fall from my shoulders and rolled them. Gosh it felt good to have that weight gone.

The key wouldn’t turn, so I jiggled it a little bit, trying to fight the panic rising from my stomach to my throat.

What if I couldn’t get it open? Where would I go

    I walked back into the parlor with my back ramrod straight, as if somehow that was going to give me the courage to tell my tale yet one more time.It should get easier, but it doesn’t.Just thinking about Lucien made my blood boil and curdle at the same time.Evidently, I was pushing out some of my own untested energies, because Maw’s face contorted with pain.I rushed over to her, reining my anger. “Maw! Are you alright?”Once my anger ebbed, so did her expression.Her eyes watered. “I’m sorry for whatever I said.”“Oh, Maw, you didn’t say anything bad,” I soothed, pulling her into a hug. “Just the opposite. But let’s wait for th

    I curled up on the couch with my notebooks, but my brain could not focus on crystals and their meanings.There were so many questions I had about the whole Luna-kissed thing, or as Gabriel and I started calling it, LK.Luna herself created the bloodline. But why?Was there a specific purpose?Shifters existed before the bloodline. What did she want to see different?Why are we special? Well, that one I kinda know. We provide blessings, prosperity, and happiness to our Pack. If we’re Lunas, we walk the spirit and soul realm. I think those realms are the same thing, but I’m not sure.A long time ago, the LK were exploited, hunted, abused, held hostage, and forced to mate. How did that happen? Who noticed that we were special?How did we recognize each other? Amyra recognized me immediately, but Maw and KB did not.What happens if an LK mates with a non-LK?“You look deep in thought, Luna,” Maw said,

    Soree and I walked into the basement. She hadn’t been down here yet, and her face shone with pure glee when she learned what we had down there.Unlike Silverpine, our jail cells weren’t attached to the main Pack House. We built the detention center years ago and refurbished the entire basement level, which extended way beyond the Pack House itself.Her initial hesitation about checking it out was justified.It was only a few months ago when she was paraded by her own Pack and marched into their dungeon accused of murdering their Alpha.Sometimes it was hard to believe it wasn’t years ago.I saw her in a diner that morning. Zee felt drawn to her, but I didn’t have any time to learn what that meant.As soon as she’d finished her breakfast, Sil

    I flipped through my phone while Bina had the wheel. I tried to stay away from the Shifter app, but my curiosity always got the best of me.Silverpine was holding its own according to the gossip. There were questions and no answers coming from the Pack House.People wanted to know where I was. The louder question seemed to be why did I transfer power to Kane and not give any explanation.“I’m tempted to create a profile and make some noise in the chat,” I said aloud.Bina’s face contorted into a grimace. “Why would you do that?”“Raise the stakes? Ask the right questions?”“Hoping to do what exactly?” she said as she flipped the blinker to change lanes.“I don’t know,&

    I’d just stepped out of the shower in my office when I heard Soree call for me. She had been sound asleep when I came in from my run, so I didn’t wake her to let her know I was back.“In here,” I called out as I tugged some jeans on.Soree’s eyes looked wide and frantic. I rushed to her. “What’s wrong?”“I just did a baby walk, and Luna was there,” she said breathlessly, clutching at my forearms. “She said there’s a plague, a blight happening now with shifters and it’s going to get darker before the dawn.”I searched her eyes for signs of misinterpretation, but there was none. The urgency in her voice and demeanor said that she was fully aware of what Luna implied.“What does that mean?”

    The house was almost silent this early in the morning. It was just past twilight, and the sun was just peeking over the horizon. Kali was super active this morning, trying to see if she could push my ribs out from the inside.Gabriel went out for his morning run with Seith, and I was happy that they were resuming their morning routine.Maw and Bear were eating in their suite; the shifting and run took a lot out of them last night. The fact that they even shifted amazed me given their advanced ages.I could hear KB and her crew in the kitchen below me, but their sounds were muffled through the floor.Gifts for the baby showed up nearly every day. This morning, I thought I would take a few moments and put some of them away.I held up a pink sleeper with ruffles on the butt and smiled. Word spre

    Pulling a couple of bags from my closet, I tossed clothes in randomly. I didn’t care about matching items, jeans, sweats, hoodies, shirts, and other incidentals.After Sam left the Pack House, I pulled up the forecast, and he was right. This driving rain was going to turn into freezing rai

    One more contract, then I can call it a day. Although, work is keeping me busy and out of my head.My brain can’t seem to wrap itself around the conversation Seith and I had right before the ceremony dinner. Is Rodgrick trying to expand his territory into the Northern hemisphere?It

    I threw my gloves down on the table as soon as I got through the door to the Pack House. The trucks for the old ones. The ones who refused to live close enough where help could be provided on a daily basis.Instead, they chose to live on the outskirts away from the rest of the pack. Prefer

    The landscape looked the same, everywhere I turned. The same huge trees with trunks so thick that they needed lots of people to hold hands around them.They were beautiful trees though, growing as high as the sky with a canopy almost dense enough to block out the sun. There were some patch
