The smile drained from my face. I frowned

“Why were you waiting for me to ask then?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. Elma shrugged.

“Because people assume I know the answer to everything.”

“You know I have another motive for coming in here. You knew I was going to get attacked in the forest tonight. You're a direct messenger to the moon goddess…”

“I'm a messenger, not a doctor. I don't know how to help you get your dominant wolf, but I can advise you on something. It all starts by firs

  • The Healer's Betrayal   Chapter 35 - Scientist

    The boy lay, tightly bound to the bed. He struggled as he finally became conscious. He fluttered his eyelashes as the fluorescent lights seemed too bright for his eyes. He stared around, pain kicking in from all over. His body ached like crazy, and he tried to wriggle his hands free from where they were tied to the bedposts.He struggled furiously, tears running down his cheeks as he fought to tear his hands free. He succeeded in ripping one free, while scanning the laboratory for any sign of the crazy scientist.He rushed, not wanting to be caught. He was tied to the bed with thick rope. After another minute of struggle, he finally got rid of it, and the moment his feet touched the floor, a little spark of hope ignited in him.He got off the bed, tried taking a step, but he stumbled. He tried grabbing onto something but crashed into a table holding test tubes and various weirdly smelling solutions. Shards of glass scattered everywhere. He stepped on a broken piece, but he totally ign

    My hands moved on their own as I worked on Alpha Derek.I didn't have to think about what I was doing. My body just knew. The antidote was a mixture I'd memorized years ago. Back when Axel was still teaching me. I measured the crushed herbs with trembling fingers, added the tincture drop by drop, and drew the liquid into a syringe.His pulse was so weak. If I didn't act fast, he would die right in front of everyone. And a part of me that I hated wondered if that would be so bad.He killed your family, that voice whispered. He destroyed everything you loved. He deserves this.But then I saw his face. Pale, fragile, and defenseless. And I remembered the way he'd smiled at me this morning, telling me I looked good. The way he'd thanked me for giving him a few more weeks with his son.I couldn't do it.I injected the antidote into his IV and watched, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. The liquid disappeared into his veins, and nothing happened for a long, horrible momen

    The hall went silent as everyone looked around, wondering who Valerie was. I stood there, still staring at Reid, forgetting that Valerie was my fake name. I snapped back to reality, and I found my feet moving before I could control them. My heart began to beat fast as I climbed the podium. All eyes were on me as Reid held out his hand and helped me up the stairs to the podium.People began to clap, and I was grateful that at least I wouldn't have to say anything. It was the first time I would stand in front of such a huge crowd, and they weren't staring in disdain or calling me a failure. They saw me as a hero, and for a moment I smiled, forgetting about the pill I would be using on Alpha Derek right here.I went to sit beside Alpha Derek, who smiled as I joined him. I gave him a faint, quick smile, immediately averting my gaze, and making sure I didn't stare into the crowd. People's gazes were still on me; aside from that, I didn't want to meet Axel's eyes and remember what he’d said

    The moon cave wasn't anything much, but it was something Summers always found intriguing. Her dad claimed he gets the best view of the moon from there with his telescope. Today, he sat her down behind the telescope as Summers stared at the moon. She was quiet as she stared. This moon was going to decide her fate today. “I feel like this is the best spot for you to have your first shift. I purposely had it decorated for you,” Her father said with a bright smile. She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice the little ribbons set up inside the cave. Summers smiled at her dad and pulled him into a hug.“Alright, sweetie, I'll wait for you outside while you do your thing.”He made to leave, and she immediately grabbed his hands. She was grateful he followed her instead of her mother; her mom wouldn't know anything about shifting anyway.“How does it work?” she asked.“Just give in to your instincts. Relax and let it take you.” Summers swallowed, not sure it would be that easy

    Reid didn't take his eyes off us, and I found myself still staring until Theo followed my gaze. Something about the way he looked hurt made my heart drop.I looked away immediately and forced a smile at Theo.“Today will be a very busy day for you. Don't let me distract you.” I spoke.“Doesn't mean…” Theo barely finished when his father came to whisk him away. I turned my head to look at Reid again, but he wasn't looking at me anymore. He was smiling at a blonde-haired bitch who wouldn't keep her hands to herself. She kept touching his arm every second.Maybe that was how he felt when Theo tried to help me with my hair earlier. I couldn't bear to stare any longer. I picked up a cup of wine from a passing waiter and proceeded to walk away from the vicinity.A lady bumped into me, and I cursed.“Watch where you're going!” I snapped.“Aren't you excited to see me?” The familiar voice made me stop in my tracks. I turned to take a second look at the lady. The familiar face made me burst in

    I barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Reid's face, the way his eyes had dropped to my lips, the way he'd pulled away like touching me would burn him. I tossed and turned, my bruised wrist throbbing with a dull ache that matched the one in my chest.When morning finally came, I’d barely slept at all.I sat up slowly, wincing as I flexed my wrist. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and walked toward the mirror. The person staring back at me looked tired. The shadows under my eyes were darker than usual, and there was a hollow look in my gaze that I couldn't quite hide.Today was the ceremony. The moment Reid officially becomes the Alpha of the Bloodmoon pack.And the moment Axel would make his move.I pressed my palm against my chest, feeling my heart race beneath my fingers. I should have felt excited. This was what I'd been working toward for months. Years, even. Every lie I'd told, every mask I'd worn, every moment I'd smiled at Reid while planning his f
