CONNOR
Amoux was feeling uneasy since dad left. I couldn’t do anything to shift back, there was no way to calm myself. Thinking back to what happened at school, I always wondered where he came
MARGERYI stood by the top of the stairs, waiting for Zaire to visit Connor. She disappeared out of sight, and not a moment longer, a man was coming up. Since I was banned from using magic, I couldn’t camouflage myself and had no choice but to run back up and out the wooden door to find a place to hide.
ZAIRE I walked out of the dungeons and dad stood in front of the door with Jedrick. He had his arms folded on his chest while the Alpha’s eyes glowed a bright silver as he looked straight into my eyes. Neither one of them were happy.
CONNORI sat on the steps of the back porch, seeing the starry sky and thinking what my life would have been like if we didn’t come to live here? Passing my hand roughly on my hair, I let out a groan of frustration.
ZAIRE The car stopped at a suburban neighbo
CONNOR “Connor, are you eating before you go to school?” mom asked as I walked through the door and headed to my room to get changed.
ZAIRE “So, what do you say we all go to the diner today? We didn’t get to go last time,” Margery said as we all headed out of school. I was lost in thought and couldn’t really pay attention to what she was saying. “Zaire, are you with us?” Ximena asked, waving her hand in front of me. I shook my head and cleared my throat, trying to hide the fact that I had spaced out. “Yeah, what were you talking about again?” “About going to the diner and having something to eat?” Margery repeated. “I’m sorry. I have other things to do, so I will have to take a raincheck,” I said, giving each of them a hug and walking away, instead of catching a ride with dad. As I was heading towards the road, I could see Leonard and Connor talking by the woods. ‘He looks really handsome, Zaire,’ Louve mentioned, bringing a smile to my face. “He sure does.” As I kept walking, I could hear him call. I stopped and turned around as he approached me before he bent down to take deep b
MARGERY “Well, since Zaire didn’t accept to join us, why don’t we go with Leonard?” Ximena said as I looked at Zaire and Connor walking away.
ZAIRE The sound of the owls hooting and the paws of our wolves on the dirt were soothing. Louve and Amoux were enjoying themselves and we just let them be for a bit longer. Ruelle and Lowell were not far behind, and they were enjoying each other’s company as well. We reached a cliff and just sat there, admiring the horizon. The full moon was bright in the sky, and the stars were as beautiful as ever. Amoux stood straight, and let out a big, powerful howl to the moon, followed by the others. It felt so freeing, so… magical. As soon as they all stopped, Louve nuzzled her head against Amoux’s fur, showing how much she was loving his company. His blue eyes glowed as he let out a low growl before licking her snout playfully. He suddenly turned around, growling at the shadows. I wondered what had him feeling so uneasy? Then Lowell did the same, making Ruelle stand behind him. But not Louve, she was next to Amoux, ready to jump into action if needed. My wolf was no
