Rae

The growl followed me back to the dorm.

Jesse had not heard it. He had continued discussing the Vicker archives while we crossed the courtyard, unaware that something beneath the moonstone had responded to his promise that I would be safer with him.

By the time Chrissy and I reached our room, I had replayed the moment enough times to make the words sound harmless again. Jesse had offered me answers and a temporary escape from Ravenwood.

  • The Sacred Pack Of The True Luna   Chapter 47 – Why Wouldn’t She Let Me Leave?

    RaeI watched Jesse’s car disappear through the gate before turning back toward Dorm B.The pressure beneath the moonstone had vanished the moment he crossed the ward line. The silver crescent cooled against my skin, my breathing steadied, and the stubborn certainty that had locked every muscle in my body released as though it had never been there.Only the relief remained.That should have answered something.Instead, it left me with more questions than I had before Jesse arrived.My wolf had allowed him to walk me outside. She had stayed quiet when he handed me water and when he kissed my forehead. She had not objected to the archives themselves, at least not when Jesse first mentioned them. Her refusal had begun only when I approached his car and became violent when I tried to leave Ravenwood.Maybe Chrissy had been right. Maybe the warning had nothing to do with Jesse and everything to do with leaving the pack.The thought irritated me enough that I nearly turned around and marche

  • The Sacred Pack Of The True Luna   Chapter 46 – I Couldn’t Make Myself Go

    RaeThe silver crescent was still warm when I left the dining hall.It no longer burned, but the lingering heat reminded me that Quinn’s confrontation had done more than give Ravenwood fresh material for its rumor mill. The crack had reacted to the strain exactly as Mansfield warned it might, and every whisper following me into the corridor made the pressure beneath my ribs tighten again.Chrissy stayed beside me as we crossed the academic wing toward Dorm B. She waited until the dining hall doors closed behind us before asking the question she had clearly been holding back.“You’re still going?”“I need answers.”“That wasn’t what I asked.”I glanced at her. “You think I shouldn’t leave with Jesse.”“I think your wolf has warned you about him twice.”“She warned me when he kept pushing me to compare him to Grant. That doesn’t mean the archives are dangerous.”“It doesn’t mean they’re safe either.”Her concern carried the cold electric scent I had learned to recognize, but I refused t

  • The Sacred Pack Of The True Luna   Chapter 45 – The Girl Grant Chose Too Late

    RaeBy breakfast, everyone knew Grant and Quinn had broken up.Quinn had apparently told someone before returning to her dorm, and Ravenwood had done the rest. I heard versions of the story behind closed classroom doors, near the stairwell, and from the floor below as Chrissy and I crossed the academic wing.According to one group, Quinn had caught Grant outside my dorm after curfew. Another claimed Grant had ended things the moment he learned I might possess a wolf after all.A girl inside the classroom beside us lowered her voice. “Maybe Rae wants all four command heirs.”I stopped walking.Chrissy turned back. “What?”“Nothing worth repeating.”She glanced at the closed door. She could not hear the conversation, but my expression told her enough.“We can take breakfast back to the room.”Avoiding the dining hall would have been easier. It would also look like I was hiding from something I had not done.“No. I’m hungry.”“You ate half a piece of toast yesterday.”“Today I’m eating a

  • The Sacred Pack Of The True Luna   Chapter 44 – Quinn Is Not My Future

    GrantQuinn was waiting inside the command residence when I returned from Dorm B.She sat on the arm of the couch in the fitted black dress she had chosen for dinner, her coat folded beside her. Julien, Brax, and Linc were nowhere in sight, which meant they had either gone to their rooms or recognized Quinn’s mood and decided distance was wise.Her gaze moved over me as I closed the door. “You smell like warding herbs.”“I was checking the anchors around Dorm B.”“Of course you were.”The bitterness in her voice had become familiar. It appeared whenever Rae entered a room, whenever someone mentioned the investigation, or whenever Quinn noticed my attention drifting toward the east dormitory.Tonight, I did not have the patience to pretend I missed it.“One of the wards had weakened.”“And Ravenwood has no security officers capable of handling that?”“They were handling it. I wanted to inspect the damage.”“You wanted to see her.”I removed my jacket and placed it over the chair near t

  • The Sacred Pack Of The True Luna   Chapter 43 – I’m Not Ready to Choose

    RaeThe warning lingered after Jesse pulled away.Careful.My wolf did not growl again or send another surge of emotion through me. She retreated beneath the moonstone, leaving me with Jesse’s hand against my cheek and the taste of his kiss still warm on my lips.“Tell me you trust me more than him,” he had said.The words felt different now that the kiss was no longer distracting me from them.I stepped back.Jesse’s hand fell to his side. “That wasn’t the reaction I was hoping for.”“I told you I wasn’t going to rank you against Grant.”“I know.” His smile returned, lighter and more careful than before. “I pushed too hard.”The apology came easily enough that some of the tension inside me eased, though my wolf remained watchful.“You did.”“I’m jealous.” J

    RaeThe growl followed me back to the dorm.Jesse had not heard it. He had continued discussing the Vicker archives while we crossed the courtyard, unaware that something beneath the moonstone had responded to his promise that I would be safer with him.By the time Chrissy and I reached our room, I had replayed the moment enough times to make the words sound harmless again. Jesse had offered me answers and a temporary escape from Ravenwood. Neither should have upset my wolf.Chrissy dropped her bag beside the desk and studied me. “You’ve been quiet since the courtyard.”“I’m thinking.”“You’ve also been rubbing the necklace.”I lowered my hand from the silver crescent and sat on my bed. The metal had cooled, though the skin beneath it remained tender from the burn.“My wolf reacted to Jesse.”Chrissy stopped untying her braid

  • The Sacred Pack Of The True Luna   Chapter 1 - The Only Human at Ravenwood Academy

    Rae The Ravenwood Pack had one human.That human was me.Most wolves didn’t bother remembering anything else about me. Not my name. Not how long I had lived on their territory. Just the simple, inconvenient truth that I didn’t belong in their world.Humans didn’t live inside wolf packs.Yet someho

    RaeAnd when I finally looked up, it wasn’t who I expected.Not even close.Brax Weston stood in the doorway balancing two pizza boxes, four sodas, and enough confidence to make it seem like he’d been invited.Chrissy’s eyes widened.Brax grinned.“Good,” he announced. “You’re alive.”I blinked.“W

    RaeBy the time classes ended, I understood something I hadn’t been prepared for when I walked into Ravenwood Academy that morning.Being ignored had been easier.At least when I was invisible, people didn’t look at me like I was something to be figured out.Now they did.The whispers had changed.

  • The Sacred Pack Of The True Luna   Chapter 2 - A Hand I Didn’t Take

    RaeJulien Bennett’s hand remained extended in front of me, steady and patient, as if the weight of the entire courtyard staring at him didn’t exist.For a moment, I didn’t move—not because I needed help getting up, but because of what that gesture meant. Wolves like Julien didn’t involve themselve
