Chapter 17 - The Strength Trial

The wrapped parcel Jace had given her was made of coarse, old paper, like something you’d find in the back of a draw. It was thick and brown but covered the item inside. Cassy unwrapped it carefully, rolling back layer after layer until the shape of the object began to press through the paper. Her mouth dropped open when she shed the final layer and held an obsidian dagger in her hands. It was small and light, but freshly sharpened and perfectly balanced. It fit in her palm like it was made for her, but that couldn’t be possible. Daggers take hours to carve from the pack’s crystals. It must’ve been coincidence that the size was perfect for her.

    “You cheated on the King?” Cassy folded her arms over her chest, mainly to hide their shake as she looked down at her mother who was sat in the prison cell, looking up at her with wide, confused eyes. Cassy very slowly looked to the door and then back at her mother, hoping she’d understand that two Silver Spears guards were listening on the other side. By her small nod, it seems she did. Cassy breathed a sigh. “How could you cheat on your mate?” Her mother came to the bars of her cell, and reached through the gaps, letting her fingers brush over Cassy’s cheek. At once, she felt the hum of her mother’s ability, checking her for injuries to heal, but she was okay. Cassy just wished she could use the ability on herself. There was a bruise purpling her cheek and her lip was split. She gestured to the small wounds and made an ‘okay’ sign with her right hand. Her mum nodded and waved away her worry. “You don’t know the pull of a fated mate bond yet.” She winked at Cassy before continuing.

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 60 - Questions

    The calm after the King said he wasn’t her father was more chilling than if he had exploded in a fit of anger and cursed her mum out for making a child with her affair partner. Instead, William asked for Cassy to be taken to a secure room and did little more that wish her a good sleep before she was all but dragged from the hall by two warriors. With the revelation that the King wasn’t her father and still not knowing where her mum was, Cassy couldn’t sleep. Even if she was tired, she wouldn’t want to. She had convinced the Silver Spear wolves to let her stay in Alex’s room, knowing about the hidden stash of weapons inside, but they searched and cleared them all before leaving her alone in there. Still, her friend’s scent being all around her helped calm her shot nerves as more and more questions built up in her mind, tormenting her with the danger beyond the bedroom doors and the situation she was in. In amongst the storm of fear and uncertainty, a small glimmer of happiness preva

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 59 - A bully with no bite

    The path to the packhouse was flooded with warriors. It was disheartening to see both Ash Mount and Silver Spear wolves standing side by side on guard, all watching her as she approached the packhouse. Its windows were still as lit up as when she had left the ceremony but the music had stopped. Had the King known about who she was then? Barely a couple of hours ago she had been on the stage with him as he pressed her to share her pheromones so she could be claimed by one of the High Guard. Is that why he had pushed so much? Had he wanted her to reveal herself in front of the pack? Even so, he must’ve already taken her mum by then. Was it all a game to him, pretending he didn’t know their secret? Cassy didn’t know. She had too many questions boiling inside her, and there was only one way to get answers. Nobody tried to stop her as she walked up to the packhouse and went inside the large building. There were less wolves inside, but Cassy noticed they were from the King’s pack and not

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 58 - Silent threat

    Cassy didn’t think she had ever run so fast in her life. Not even when the time was running out on the first game of the Luna Trials and she was far behind everyone else. She wondered if this was how fast her mum had run when she was escaping the King all those years ago. Running like her life and the life of her daughter were on the line but never feeling fast enough as danger nipped at her heels. Cassy felt like she was moving through sludge. Though they were speeding through the pack it felt like they were progressing too slow, but her legs moved as fast as they could. Her muscles burned with the effort but couldn’t work any harder. Her only consolidation was that Alex and Katie were flanking her, keeping pace and following her lead. ‘I can’t get through to Jace, can you?’ Cassy asked for the third time, hoping for good news. ‘No. Nothing. I can feel him there, but he won’t answer me.’ Alex answered with a grunt that barely hid the note of worry in her voice. ‘Perhaps he is distr

    “I’m never going to make the mistake of trusting you again.” Cassy eyed Zac, but curiosity outweighed her unease. She’d never love him again, but she wasn’t lying when she said she thought he wasn’t evil. He was just a man whose loyalty wavered when a pack of women were suddenly competing to be his mate. An asshole but harmless. “But, you can tell me what’s going on.”Relief crossed the Beta wolf’s expression, before his eyes turned to the scenery. “It feels too exposed here. We should go somewhere else.”

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 56 - Unlikely company

    As soon as the official part of the choosing ceremony was over, Cassy fled. The pack cheered for the newly agreed upon mates and wagered bets on who would be their next Luna; Roan or Sarah. Most wanted Sarah. She was a clear favourite among warriors and civilians alike, and with her ruthlessness Cassy was sure she would win. Then, she’d be Jace’s mate and the Ash Mount Luna. Cassy’s inside’s boiled with frustration, anger and betrayal. How could Jace cast her away like that? How could he stand by while Zac claimed her as his mate in front of the pack? How could he give into the King like that and kick her out of the Trials?She knew the answer of course. Because he was the King, with a Kingdom of wolves at his back. To anger him would be to put the pack in danger. Pushing to keep Cassy in the Trials also ran the risk of exposing her as his mateand
