Ariadne picked up North and smoothed his hair.

“Ready to help mama with a stealth mission?” she whispered to her infant. He cooed and flapped his arms. She took that as a yes. Ariadne kissed North’s forehead, making him make happy

    Peggy looked at her aunt, murmuring on the floor of the cave. Her heart rattled around her chest. The cold air nipped at her fingers and nose.“... Aunty…” she whispered, crouching on the floor. She shook her aunt’s shoulder, praying to any entity that would listen that Astrea would wake up. Nothing. She swallowed hard and pressed her forehead onto Astrea’s. She managed to connect to her aunt’s psychic wavelength and then push deeper. Pressing through the noise of changing and chaos, eventually, she found her aunt’s wolf.“Luna, come out, please,” Peggy whispered. Luna stirred, almost like she was struggling to wake up. “I know it’s hard. Please come out. Please.”After a tense moment, Astrea’s body started to shift into her wolf form. Lu

    [CW- Scenes of unreality and some psychological horror. Please take care of yourself while reading.]The group had been stuck underground for a couple of days while Astrea gathered her strength so she could guide them across the mountains. Archer had spent most of his time pacing and mumbling about Ariadne, but even Nieve had said it would be a good idea to wait for Astrea. It was also giving Eli time to re-up on magic. Peggy had spent most of the time keeping warm at the fire. She couldn’t get thoughts of North and what he had said out of her mind. He was just a kid, a baby. But the words he said…He was already manipulative. She chewed her thumbnail as she thought about it.“You’re not telling us something,” Mikael said softly to Peggy as he plopped next to her. She shook her head.

    [CW- Body horror at end of chapter and mild psychological horror throughout. Please be safe while reading.]Ariadne spent her next few days in a daze. She couldn’t help but think about her dream, about Peggy’s words, about what she was supposed to do with this information. In the end, only one thing mattered.They were coming for her.Song had been elated to find out they had more allies, and especially happy to hear that Archer was coming soon. Ever the romantic was Ariadne’s wolf…She hadn’t heard from Peggy since that day. When she tried to reach out for Archer, he would make soft promises of rescue, but when she looked through his eyes, all she could see were large expanses of snow, odd trees, and strange rabbits. Where the hel

    [CW - Discussions and representations of marital abuse, including rape, but nothing graphic “on screen”. Please stay safe while reading.]Without thinking, Ariadne pressed her hands over Peggy’s mouth.“You can’t tell Archer.”Peggy frowned at her, completely confused.“I mean it. North isn’t Archer's, he…” Ariadne’s voice trailed off. She swallowed hard. Around her and Peggy, the ground started to turn from white, cloud-like material into dark grey and black material, like storm clouds.“He’s Kurnich’s,” she whispered. Peggy’s eyebrows shot up. “He makes me… Every month… Even though I’m still re

  • The Wolf Star: A Rejected Mates Story   34- Dream Dream Dream…

    “A… What?” Peggy asked.“A Dream Walker,” Astrea repeated. “It’s a rare form of magic that gets passed down some werewolf lines, usually down the maternal line.”“But I’m not…” Peggy started.“I know,” Astrea nodded. “But the human royal family has had werewolf ties for generations. You might be human, but there have been werewolves in your family before I married in.”“Matrilineal magic,” Eli whispered, wide-eyed. “Of course, a lot of the old magics were matrilineal. I didn’t think many of those were still a thing though.”“Most aren’t,” Astrea said. “But Dream Walking is, as are some forms of telekenisis and metamagic.”“What does this mean for Peggy?” Mikael asked nervously. “Are there any side effects or?”“Peggy will have strange dreams, often prophetic in na

  • The Wolf Star: A Rejected Mates Story   33 - Trees and Dreams

    The tree sped toward them. Peggy’s eyes were fixed on it. Her breath was coming in short gasps as she saw this… this thing inching closer and closer toward them. That clicking noise. It sent shockwaves through her chest. It made her feel sick. It-Before she could ruminate much more, the white wolf dove down into a hole, and the others followed after her.Peggy coughed and gasped as the air warmed around her. Her lungs, unused to warm air, protested. Mikael rubbed her back as he looked around.“It won’t come down here?” Mikael asked.“No,” the wolf said softly. “It has no eyes; it relies on its sense of heat perception and vibrations. It won’t be able to sense us down here, and frankly, it will take it a few feet before it realizes we’ve disappeared.”“Where even are we?” Peggy asked between breaths, looking around. The space they were in appeared to be some kind of a tunnel. The walls seemed to be made of limestone or chalk, or some other calcified rock… And yet, it was stable enough
