The air in the Grand Hall of the Voss Palace was thick with the scent of expensive perfume, aged brandy, and the sharp, metallic tang of repressed aggression. The Voss pack was holding the “Treaty Ball” and they were the host of this year's celebration. The “Treaty Ball” was a Unity Ball which occurs every ten years, it's a tradition that had stood for generations, rotating among the five High Packs of the North. Each pack hosted it twice simultaneously before the next pack hosted the Treaty Ba

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    Challenge Begins

    "Why have you been avoiding me?" Jax asked, going straight to the point. He stood tall by the porch light, his large frame blocking her path to the front door.Serena shifted her water bottle to her other hand, she gave a long sigh before slowly turning around to meet his gaze. "I haven't been avoiding you. I just wanted to go inside."Jax gave her a slow look and raised an eyebrow. "Really? Serena, I literally just saw you walk away the exact second our eyes met earlier during training.""I… I just had somewhere to be," Serena stuttered, her voice catching in her throat as she stood under the porch light. "Francis was calling us anyway.""Look, I know what I said the other day was harsh," Jax said, his voice dropping to a quiet whisper. "I was just trying to know the reason behind your sudden actions."He stepped closer, leaning down slightly. Serena’s heart rate increased, drumming against her ribs. She gulped, her eyes widening in shock as his gaze locked onto hers."And," Jax adde

    "Okay, what's with the weirdness that just happened, Serena?" Chloe asked. They were walking over to the other corner of the training center. As Serena immediately left their previous spot, her mood had turned all gloomy.Chloe felt Serena's vibe instantly change while they were talking just a few seconds ago. All of a sudden, Serena wanted to leave the area, which seemed completely suspicious. Chloe only played along to avoid making Serena even more uncomfortable, but her curiosity was growing by the second. As they moved towards the far wall, Chloe turned her head slightly. Her eyes met Jax's. He looked pretty pissed off at something, maybe at Serena because he was literally staring straight in their direction. Chloe immediately looked away, hoping Jax hadn't caught her looking."What weirdness?" Serena asked, trying to act totally clueless.It might have worked on other people, but Chloe wasn't just anybody. She stopped walking and crossed her arms. Her posture looked exactly like

    "Shouldn't we wait to finish the recruitment before we even try to talk to them?" Jax asked. He kicked a small piece of loose dirt off the side of the trail. "The plan was to get our new warrior numbers sorted out first, right?"Ronan didn't look back at him. He kept his eyes fixed on the green valley below. "Plans changed, Jax. We can't just sit around and wait for this training group to finish. We need a strong partner right now Incase the Shadow Pack decides to strike again. And the Lockwood Pack is the best choice."Jax let out a dry laugh and shook his head, leaning against a nearby tree. "Damien? You think Alpha Damien is just going to hand us his top-tier Thetas when we barely have anything to show for it? The Lockwood Pack is about ten times bigger and stronger than us. Damien runs his pack like a business. He definitely won't make a trade unless we have something worthwhile to offer.""We are not going to him as beggars," Ronan countered, his voice perfectly steady. He turned

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    A Dangerous Name

    "I am never wishing for anything ever again," Chloe muttered. She bent over and rested her hands on her knees, gasping for air. Heavy drops of sweat dripped from her chin straight into the dry dirt track.Serena barely had any sweat on her skin. Her breathing was smooth and steady. Her core felt strong because Calvin had forced her to run so many miles during their secret training sessions. She turned her head and let a small smirk slip onto her face. "You guessed Francis would make us run laps today, Chloe. You better watch what you say from now on. Your wishes actually come true." Serena teased her."Next time, remind me to wish for a pile of money," Chloe groaned. She slowly stood up straight, shaking out her arms. "Running five miles in this hot sun is pure punishment."Across the grass, Francis raised his black plastic whistle to his lips and blew a loud, sharp blast. Faster, y'all!"Next group, on the white line!" an assistant trainer shouted, pointing toward the starting marks

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    Their strength against them

    Chloe came at her again, but this time, she didn't try to punch. She closed the distance fast, wrapping her arms around Serena's waist to pull her down to the ground. Their arms locked together, and they started straining against each other, their boots sliding in the dirt. Chloe was pushing with everything she had, trying to force Serena backward.Serena felt her feet sliding, but she suddenly remembered Calvin’s advice. 'If they are pushing hard, don't push back. Use their own weight against them.'Serena stopped resisting. She suddenly dropped her weight and pulled Chloe forward by her shirt. Chloe's eyes widened as she lost her balance, stumbling forward over her own feet. Serena quickly twisted her body around, caught Chloe in a loose headlock, and gently pulled her down to the dirt mat, pinning her shoulders down."Match over! Serena wins again!" Francis yelled.It was a really close round. Serena had only won by a very slight chance, and her heart was hammering wildly. She let

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The First Test

    "Look who actually showed up," a guy near the benches laughed, nudging his friend. "Since when does Serena even know how to make a fist?""Are you serious? She is going to get crushed in the first five seconds," another voice whispered back, and a few people snickered. "She should just stick to paperwork. This is going to be embarrassing.""Line up! I said line up right now!" Francis, the head warrior, shouted across the field. His loud voice cut through all the chattering. "If you are not in a group, get behind the wooden fence! Move it!"Serena stood near the edge of the dirt ring, tying her hair back into a tight ponytail. She heard every whisper, every mean laugh, and every doubt. The onlookers and the other competitors were all bundled together, waiting to watch her trip over her own feet. They expected her to fail, but Serena did not let it shake her. She stood tall, a calm smirk on her face. They had no idea that she had been working hard in secret, gaining fighting experience

    The drive home from the school was quiet, but it wasn't the peaceful kind. Theo stared out the side window, his reflection in the glass was looking small and defeated. Mia sat in the back, her eyes darting between the back of Theo’s head and the road.I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles
