MADDIE POV

I school my expression as I turn to look at the elderly male approaching me. He stands at exactly six feet, with white hair cropped short and a thick white moustache, emerald green eyes sparkle out from under equally thick and bushy white eyebrows. He’s wearing an expensive suit that does nothing to hide his beer gut and overall smarminess. His smile is smug, like he’s happy he finally won something.

“Not going to greet your gramps?” Armaros asks me as he gets up into my personal space. He smells like a combination of black licorice and cilantro, not a pleasant pairing, I assure you. I can also smell the cheap cigar and stale whiskey on his breath. I take several steps back to try and redefine my personal bubble.

“You aren’t my grandfather.” I say simply as I move to go around him and to head back to Daddy’s office.

“Don’t you turn away from me, runt. You will do as you’re told for once,” he sneers as he pulls me back toward him by my elbow, claws digging in, piercing my ski

I can only imagine how fickle the creative energies are when trying to write a complete novel. If I understand things, most of the authors on this app are not full-time writers. They have jobs, family, etc. It must be difficult to balance all of that. Michelle, thank you for everything you do. <3

    MADDIE POV Greta and I perform yet another honor ceremony for our fallen warriors. I always wish there was more I could do to honor these men and women who give their lives to the pack. I do ensure their families are taken care of financially. I watch over and make sure their children have the means to attend college or trade school, if that is what they want. I provide pack funded therapy to help with the whole family’s grief and any emotional struggles they may have. It still doesn’t feel like it’s enough. I can feel Josh’s eyes on me the entire time I’m up here placing the nameplates on our wall of honor. The few times I’ve looked over at him, I can see some big emotions washing over him. I can’t even begin to imagine how he’s feeling tonight. Everything must be just so overwhelming. I like that I can see some of those emotions in his eyes though, despite not being marked yet. His face is incredibly expressive. I like it. It gives me

    UNKNOWN POV I watch from the tree top where I’m perched, just on the edge of Blue Meadow’s territory lines, but safely inside ‘no man’s land’. The safe zone, where I won’t be detected and hunted by patrol wolves. I see Alpha Madison leading her pack to the large granite stone in the middle of the blue dahlia field where they hold their funerals. Walking next to the little runt shifter is a man I never expected to see on Blue Meadow territory. I never expected to see him on any pack territory. Anywhere. Ever. Joshua Logan. We received word that she found her mate and shockingly, he is human. I came to investigate myself instead of sending a lacky spy in my place. I had to know for sure, with my own eyes, if our information is correct. It seems our informant wasn’t lying. Famous NFL star Joshua Logan is her fated mate. She wouldn’t be holding hands like that if he wasn’t. This poses a serious problem for

    JOSH POV Holy fuck! I have magic?! Seriously? This can’t be real! Can it? I guess it can, since werewolves are real. Soulmates are real. My life being turned into a supernatural shit show is real. So, why CAN’T I have magic too? Fuck. My. Life. Why the hell was I the one who was given this… what even is this? A curse? A gift? Right this very minute, it feels like a curse. All of a sudden, I am feeling incredibly overwhelmed. I’m overwrought with anxiety and sexual tension. The last few days have been a lot and I’m really not sure I can handle much more at one time. I just thought I was helping Maddie with her own grief, simply by being by her side and holding her hand. I didn’t know I was doing all of that magical emotional morphing stuff. I run my hands over my face and up into my hair. How much weirder can my life get right now? I really miss the days, which were not that long ago mind you, when all

    MADDIE POV “We can get into MI a little more later on. Right now though, I want to fill you in on something that happened at the funeral stone tonight. The reason I kissed you and thanked you after the howling.” I say as I come out from behind my desk and sit on my sofa. I pat the cushion next to me, inviting Josh to sit with me. Josh sits beside me and takes my free hand, “You know, I was curious about that.” He says as he leans over and gives me a little kiss. “However, whatever the reason may be, I’ll never deny you a kiss, Maddie.” I know I begin to blush. I don’t know why either. “Well umm,” I have to clear my throat, giving me a moment to get my hormones back under control. A simple peck brings my desire for Josh roaring right back to the surface. Unfortunately, this isn’t the time, but it’s coming. Fin begins wagging her tail and purring a bit at the thought of finally having our mate. “I haven’t fully explained the Luna position t

    MADDIE POV The feeling begins while I’m standing on the funeral stone reading off the names of our fallen. My heart is heavy and aching. I can feel Infinity whimpering in pain and sadness inside my head, our guilt overwhelming us both, because we didn’t protect our whole pack from the torturous pains of death. But as I near the end of my list, I feel a pull, a tug on my despair. As it leaves my body, my voice gains strength and my emotions of peace and serenity coat my prayer to Selene. I know the pack feels the change too. As they lift their heads to howl their final goodbye, their wolves move forward, wanting to acknowledge the impact their Luna is having on all of our grief. I hear their gruff animal voices in the pack link, almost bringing me to my knees in shock and surprise. Our wolf spirits don’t choose to communicate with many other than their human counterpart and their mate. Even our pups don’t hear their wolf parent’s voice very many times

    JOSH POV This is quite the experience. I’ve never witnessed something of this magnitude before. Yes, I’ve been to funerals, but I’ve never seen one as big as this. Not only is it a large crowd, but everyone is walking to the funeral site. All the funerals I’ve attended in my life, everyone drove to the cemetery. And they were usually in the morning or early afternoon, not at night. It is pitch black out here. All I can see are our candles and the faces of the people nearest to me illuminated by their own candle’s tiny flame. But far in the distance, I can see larger flames lighting up the night. I’m just thankful that Maddie has a hold of my hand, or I wouldn’t be able to find my way. As we get closer, I realize the flames I saw are torches. Fires blaze at the top of long wooden poles that are standing tall from being secured in stone holes. The stone in which these holes are carved stands high above our heads. It looks to be at least ten foot tall a
