The sound of the blade breaking came as a terrifying surprise. One second, Marcus was as good as a dead man, pinned against the truck with a silver-tipped knife inches from his throat. The next, the air seemed to fold in on itself.

    The sound of the blade breaking came as a terrifying surprise. One second, Marcus was as good as a dead man, pinned against the truck with a silver-tipped knife inches from his throat. The next, the air seemed to fold in on itself.There was a sudden, violent rush of wind, a cold blast that smelled like mountain herbs and ozone. Before anyone could even blink, the assassin who had Marcus pinned down and was about slicing the silver blade which smelt like it was coated in wolfsbane was crumpled on the concrete floor, his poisoned blade snapped into two useless pieces of metal.Marcus staggered back, his hands flying to his neck, gasping for air. He looked at the floor, then at the space where the assassin had just been. He was alive, but his brain couldn't process how. He had been moved, physically shoved five feet to the right in the span of a heartbeat.But the "weird force" wasn't done.The two assassins who had been pinning Kira down suddenly flew backward as if they had been hit b

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The Ambush Reversed

    LIORA'S POV The lead hunter’s finger was already pressing the trigger of the electric gun when the entire alley lit up.The loud, aggressive roar of our heavy-duty work truck came vibrating through the ground. Before the hunters could even blink, the truck skidded sideways, tires screaming as it slammed into a halt right at the alley’s entrance, blocking their only way out.The doors flew open before the engine had even fully died down.“Get your hands off them!” Renn’s voice was immediately heard. It carried a heavy power that made the air feel thick and hard to breathe.Marcus, Kira, and I jumped from the truck, as Marcus stopped the engine of our truck. We landed ready for a fight. We didn't look like a construction crew anymore. We looked like a pack that had been pushed too far ready to fight back.The lead hunter snarled, shielding his eyes from the lights. “More of them? I thought this town was empty of your kind.”“You thought wrong,” I said. My eyes were already glowing with

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The Alleyway Trap

    Silas walked through the industrial part of town. He had been playing a game of hide-and-seek for the last hour, turning corners and doubling back just to see if that black car was still following him. He couldn’t see it anymore, but that weird, he still had the heavy feeling at the back of his neck told him he wasn't alone.When he reached the old textile mill, he looked at the long way home and then at the dark, narrow alley right next to him. He knew it was risky, but he wanted this to end. He stepped into the alley, his boots crunching on broken glass and old soda cans as he walked.He was halfway through when the shadows at both ends of the alley started to make a move.Four guys stepped out from the darkness. They were dressed in all-black tactical gear, wearing masks that covered everything but their eyes. They didn't look like regular street thugs; they moved like they were well-trained and meant business."Give it up, Vane," the one in the middle said. His voice sounded weird

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The Trail Returned

    LIORA'S POV The week following the beam incident had been quiet, but it was a kind of silence which came with the feeling that ‘this is the calm before the storm’. After the beam incident, Silas wasn't just a supervisor anymore; he was one of us. Marcus had cleared him, the rest of us got more comfortable around him. Even Kira no longer looked at him with her suspicious sharp eyes that could pierce into your soul.For a whole week, the "ghosts" Silas had been complaining about seemed to have vanished. No more ‘falling beams’, no melting chains, and no feeling of being watched from a distance. It was the first time since this library Project I felt like I could actually breathe.I sat in the temporary office trailer on Monday evening, staring at a stack of invoices that seemed to double every time I blinked. The rest of the crew had already packed up the truck, their voices drifting through the thin walls as they joked about whose turn it was to cook dinner."You’re going to burn a h

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The Secret

    There was silence all over the greenhouse and the only sound heard was Mia’s own jagged breathing. Leo stood right in front of her, his dark eyes fixed on hers, waiting for the truth he had already guessed."How come you are a hybrid?" Mia finally asked, her voice steadying as she realized there was no point in lying anymore.Leo let out a long, heavy sigh and leaned back against a rusted table. "My mum was human," he said simply. "She died after giving birth to me. My dad is a wolf, a high-ranked one, as you noticed. He moved us here to this human town because a hybrid doesn't exactly fit into a pack of 'pure' warriors. To them, I’m just a half- wolf. Someone who has the senses but is still wolfless. So I was just like an extra weight to them.”He looked down at his fingers. "It’s a lonely way to live, Mia. I’m not wolf enough for the packs, and I’m definitely not normal enough for the humans. That’s why I keep to myself. I seek solace in my art because the canvas doesn’t care about

  • The Rogue Luna's Secret    The Doubt

    The lock clicking into place was the only sound in Mia’s room. She didn’t turn on the light as she entered, she just slumped against the door, staring into the darkness of her room.The image of Leo's dad and that scent of his kept replaying in her mind. She had felt different auras before but none of them was as suffocating as his. It was the scent of a high-ranking wolf, someone with power in their blood that felt as heavy as lead. He was likely a Beta, or maybe something even more dangerous.But how?She replayed every moment she had spent with Leo. She had been inches from his face, their breath mingling, and yet... nothing. There was no spark of a wolf, no predatory heat, just the smell of graphite, rain, and human sweat. They looked so much alike, they had same messy dark hair, the same jawline, the same intensity in their gaze so Leo being adopted seemed impossible.Why me? she wondered, her chest tightening. Out of everyone at Oakhaven High, why had the son of a powerful wolf
