Callie races to Jax’s house. I can feel the strain in her limbs. She’s pushing herself harder than she ever has before. We race past people at random. Not caring who’s in her way. Our only thought is to get to Jax and Ansel. We dodge bushes, fences, jump over the occasional fallen tree and anything else that could slow us down.

    RavenCallie races to Jax’s house. I can feel the strain in her limbs. She’s pushing herself harder than she ever has before. We race past people at random. Not caring who’s in her way. Our only thought is to get to Jax and Ansel. We dodge bushes, fences, jump over the occasional fallen tree and anything else that could slow us down. It’s only a few minutes later, and we jump through the last of the trees, racing into the yard but we slow as we approach the house. Nothing outside looks out of place. But the front door looks like Ansel charged through it. It’s a bigger risk to go into the house in our wolf form, it’s a much smaller space now that we’re basically fully grown. And if Ansel reacts badly, we could get seriously injured. She feels my urgency to get to them and she makes her way up the porch. She lets out a short bark, signaling our entry. It’s only a brief moment when we hear something. But it’s not a growl that we hear in response. It’s something much more sad. We follo

    JaxI hadn’t been able to top Raven’s birthday gift to me for her. But she seemed quite happy with the locket I gave her. On the outside, I had a raven engraved on it. I had managed to find an old picture of Ansel and Callie shortly after we both got our wolves. It took a few tries, but I managed to get the photo scaled down to a size that would fit on one side, and on the other was a picture of us. She cried and said it was her favorite gift I’d ever given her. We had a similar physical experience that we did on my birthday. And I swear at one point, I thought I heard her say love. But her mouth was on my wrist, biting me to make sure her parents didn’t hear her. It’s been a few months since then and we don’t do that every night. If anything, I think we go out of our way to not do anything. Since her parents are still allowing me to sleep in her room, I don’t want to upset them. And I think she’s too worried about what would happen if we got caught. Today, I walked her to hunter t

    Raven (age 17)Two days later, Jax’s dad officially moved into the pack house. Gwen had spent the bulk of her days with him, splitting her time at night between being with him, and being home with Jax. Things with his dad had actually slowed down instead of progressing like everyone expected. For a while, he actually started regaining a little bit of the strength he lost. My hunter training had been progressing incredibly well. After my first full year, Dorian had evaluated me against him while Rion and Alpha Avery observed. Dorian said I had become quite proficient with my swordsman skills. He put me through my paces, pushing my stamina but I managed to finish without any cuts or stabs.The moving obstacles was a challenge, but I was allowed to choose my weapon for that and I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel partial to a set of throwing stars. When I had started target practice after a few months, they quickly became my go-to choice.The hand to hand combat portion of my evalu

    JaxI shift back, Ansel’s dark fur receding, my bones reshaping. I quickly grab my shorts and pull them on. Nudity isn’t something new, as wolves, we’re used to it, but something about being naked in front of other she wolves, makes me uncomfortable in a way it didn’t before. ‘Because of Raven.’ Ansel says in my mind. I realize he’s right. It’s not that I felt different about her before, but now that she knows, it feels wrong to let someone else see my body. Even if we’re not defining anything, it would be disrespectful. ‘Our body is only for her.’ He says, not leaving any room for me to disagree. Not that I would, I feel the same way. But it’s not something she’s ready for. And no matter what Ansel says, I have to admit, I’m not either. I don’t need to push for more between us when when we’re both figuring out what our new normal is. This time, he stays quiet. He knows better. Besides, things with dad are so up in the air right now, I need to be ready if something happens. Rave

    RavenRion steps in again, his movement precise, controlled, and I follow without hesitation, meeting the strike and shifting into the next position the way I’ve been trained to.But something about it doesn’t line up the way it should. It’s not the movement, but the space around it.For a split second, before he commits to the motion, I feel it—the direction, the intent, the exact line he’s about to take—and at the same time, something flickers into place in my vision.It isn’t clear. It isn’t solid. But it’s there. It’s like what happened with Jax. I try not to focus on it, realizing what’s happening. A faint outline, barely visible, like the shape of his movement exists a fraction of a second before he actually makes it, not layered over him, but slightly ahead of where he is, as if I’m seeing where he’s going before he gets there.My body starts to move with it automatically, stepping into the space that hasn’t fully happened yet—but that’s when it shifts.The outline doesn’t hol

    Raven Jax and I leave his house, I can feel the weight of my water bottle, hanging down from the strap that I tangled my fingers around. There’s a comfortable silence between us. Neither attempting to break it. After about ten minutes, we turn down the path to the training grounds. I can see a few people are already there. Most likely Alpha Avery and our gamma, Devon. Gamma Devon runs training, he’s built just a little smaller than the alpha, and his shaved head is a start contrast to the alphas long hair, even though he typically keeps it pulled back. I asked him about it once, seeing some short fuzz behind his ear that he missed. He told me it’s an advantage in a fight, so his opponent doesn’t have anything extra to grab onto. Ever since then, I started twisting my hair around the base of my ponytail, securing it with another hair tie. I’d seen some of the other she wolves at training doing it, and I finally understood why. Alpha Avery doesn’t lead, he watches to see if any
