Do drugs and you'll taste like poo forever.
The thing about power is that if you aren't careful, it tends to consume you, messing with your mind and turning you into something your friends no longer recognize. Karistus was running off of raw, ancient power direct from the Gods, and as she went from country to country recruiting her soldiers, it was beginning to take its toll.
Looking in the mirror at the latest truck stop, Karistus' human skin felt confused. She recognized the face in the mirror as her own, but all the memories attached to her life were muted somehow, lost in the haziness of mag

Unworthy Betrayal
Judah watched in stony silence as Damon and Knox discussed Karistus and what the cleansing would mean for their kind. Dahlia was right. Lisa had turned Damon into a weak excuse for an Alpha, being dragged around by his balls-and Knox seemed content to walk right alongside him."Why are we doing this exactly?" He asked a little forcefully, "If she is who you both think she is, then Karistus is the Alpha of all Alphas. Doesn't that give her control over things? Why do we have to get involved in a battle that has nothing to do with us?"Knox furrowed his brow and stared at Judah for a second, "Is everything alright?" He asked in concern, but Judah wasn't interested in playing nice anymore. He was sick of playing the third wheel while Alpha and Beta tiptoed around important issues."No, I'm fucking not alright!" He lashed out, and by the way, both sets of eyes changed color. It looked like he had pissed their wolves off. They were quick to remind him of his place.
Unworthy Losing a friend.
Things were playing out exactly as Dahlia had hoped. Judah was easily the strongest fighter in Moon Valley, and she'd seen him put Damon on his arse many times. It was sickening how quickly the pack bowed down to that piece of trash, and she vowed that the first act she would sanction as the new Luna would be exiling Lisa Montgomery and her human family.His warriors surrounded Judah as she approached him, sliding her arms around his waist, pressing her body against his back as she nibbled at his ear. Dahlia didn't care if the rest of the pack knew about their relationship anymore. Judah and his wolf were putty in her hands, and he was great in the sack, which was a bonus. When he won this challenge, Dahlia would rise to Luna, where she belonged, and Lisa would be left with a corpse to bury. Judah returned her affection, confident in his own abilities, and he shrugged off his t-shirt, preparing for battle.Damon entered the circle, closely followed by Knox, and the cro
Unworthy The Army marches.
Long after the final member left the training ground, Damon and Knox sat beside Judah's body. He looked peaceful in death, but they didn't feel peace. Instead, the weight settled heavily on both shoulders now, instead of three- the way it used to be."I didn't have a choice," Knox kept muttering, staring at his hands in shock, and Damon didn't know how to make things right for him.The smell of rain was in the air, mixed with the scent of arterial blood, and Damon felt sick to his gut. How were they supposed to move forward from this?A shadow fell over the trio, and Narelle's voice was thick with tears as she took her place beside the other two. "Why did you do this, Judah? She asked, brokenly, " Why did you turn on your friends?"" I can answer that," Lisa replied as she entered from the blindside and sat beside Knox." In the time of the cleansing when Karistus is at her most brutal, the unworthy seek to form alliances in an attempt to ove
Unworthy Crossroads
It was two days before the luna spoke again. Knox loped alongside her, not forcing a conversation, just letting Lisa know he was there. Damon's words lay between them like a river of acid, the venom wreaking havoc on any new friendships, and Knox tried to figure a way past this. It took a few days for him to realize that Lisa thought she was helping by giving them all the facts about Judah; she hadn't meant to hurt anyone. Knox's own guilt caused him to run from the group, and that was something he would have to learn to live with. In the end, Damon had spared Judah's life, and Judah made a choice to carry on, lunging at the Alpha, which decided his fate.Finally, on the third day, Knox felt a pressure in his mind, and as he lowered the walls, Karistus's voice filtered through."Thank you." She said simply.Taking his life in his hands, he playfully nipped at her tail, baiting the Alpha wolf into playing a game of chase. Her eyes laughed at him, as they se

"It's okay, Rosie, you can come out now." Narelle Cortez looked at Lisa with narrowed eyes, daring her to say anything. Slowly, a timid grey wolf crept out of hiding, and the Alpha female kneeled so that she was eye level with her. "Come on, sweetheart, you can do it."Slowly her limbs started to phase back. It looked horribly painful, and both Knox and Lisa cringed with every snap. Finally, the transformation was complete, and a young woman lay curled at Narelle's feet. Knox looked at her for a moment in confusion, then he snapped his fingers in a typically male response, "From the packhouse, right? You're the house master's daughter!" Shyly the young woman raised her head, peering at Knox through sooty eyelashes, "Yes, Beta Knox, my name's Rosemarie." Narelle growled at Knox, her lip curled as she put her arm around Rosemarie's shoulder, "MINE." she asserted with a glare. "Okay then." Knox put his hands up in the air in surrender. Rosemarie gently touched Narelle's

"Same old same old," Damon Cortez thought as he ran his hands through his raven-colored hair, watching his friends greet the others returning for the school year.At 19, Damon already felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. His Dad wasn't getting any younger. As Alpha to the strongest pack in America, it was expected that Damon would soon take over his father's duty, leaving his Mum, the current Luna, and his Dad free to enjoy their twilight years.Watching his beta Knox and Gamma Judah performing their duties effortlessly, Damon found himself wishing that he could just run free for a while, enjoy life like his friends could before being weighed down with pack politics.

"What the f*ck?" Lisa wandered down the corridors, passing the barbies, the jocks, the nerds, and the shadows, feeling like a science experiment as people seemed to stop and sniff as she went passed them. Another high school first day, it was safe to say she made an impression as she turned her famous glare on any that would meet her eye, but to her surprise, most would bow their head and show submission, except one girl.Ooof! Lisa's bag went flying as she found herself unceremoniously shoved into the lockers to her left. Before she could even get her bearings,,, some crazy banshee was on her, long nails flying, hair pulling, loud shrill voice shrieking "He's mine you b*tch!"'Oh hell no,' Lisa thought as she co
