My breathing got heavier and I felt a sweat break out on my forehead. My palms were burning and an incisional pulsating-need spreading down my core and stopping at my folds were i was getting wetter and wetter by the second. I squeezed my legs shut and blinked several times, when I looked up I saw James worried eyes and within the second he was in front of me, holding me up. As we touched, his eyes grew dark and his voice got low and husky. ”Shit,””I don’t know what’s happening,” I breathed out, cringing as I heard my raspy voice. I saw a devilish smirk on the Alphas face, I grew irritated at his amusement, seeing as I had no idea what my body was doing.”I think I do, and I'm glad as fuck that you foolishly saved me right now,” I was stuck in confusion, not understating anything he said at this moment. His touch ignited and strengthened the need I felt and I wanted to jump him right here, right now. Oblivious to the people around me my body was aching for his touch. James scoope

~James~One day. One day to be all about Avery, surrounded by the people who love her, initiating her in to the pack as their Luna, as my Luna without any damage, fighting, drama or pain. Was that too much to ask for?Her eyes had turned black, her pupils dilated and her whole body was shaking as she fell to the ground.When she whispered for me to help her, I felt my heart stopped for a second. She was clawing at her chest, drawing blood.Alex had been quick to get at her side, pining her hands down but I hadn't seen him in the crowd. His hair was tousled and he never left without fixing it like all the other girls. She was screaming in agony, all the pack members had watched in horror as she gasped for air in between. I couldn't focus on them, all I could focus on was Avery and her pain, trying to take some of it away. She had just saved my life, we were supposed to start things over, enjoy our last moments of peace and tranquility before the war broke. But now it was her, she

~James~”When Malia was twelve, her parents thought they'd try and see what Malia was capable of and since she didn't have her wolf, they started beating her until she got angry enough to fight back. They could've given her some of their blood to speed up the healing process but instead, they tossed her back in her room, chained her to the bed, and left her to heal on her own. Malia never fought back because she couldn’t. She didn't know her strength, she had no guidance and no one to help her through her shifting. When she turned of age and got her wolf, she couldn't shift because she was chained up in silver. So her parents brought her outside and waited until she had shifted. For a born werewolf, the shifting is already painful enough, breaking every bone in your body, bending your will to fight the pain, the screams of agony, I've witnessed it. But for a vampire who is used to practically not feeling pain at all, ever, and then being turned to something everyone loathes and having

~Avery~”It’s telling me to run,”Amber's eyes grew colder, darker, and more distant than they had been before. Her entire body posture went from slumped to rigid and Amber's hands pulled away as she got up on her feet and walked out of the room. Left behind was the cold loneliness I wanted to prevent, I thought telling Amber the truth would set me free in a sense, that I wouldn't be alone. But here I was, on the verge of a breakdown, alone. I couldn't cry because nothing would come out, I felt numb and fearful. Afraid of what lay ahead. Everyone was dealing with their own issues and everyone was on edge due to the upcoming war so I understood, but they dealt with it so regally. They knew of the dangers and their demons, we all had them, but they were handling theirs and I was afraid of mine. I wished I could do what they did, they handled their shit and then moved on with life. ”Here,” a pile of clothes landed at my feet and I looked up to see Amber already dressed in a pair of j

~Avery~We sat there and talked, a few moments were silent and peaceful-something we all seemed to appreciate.”Isn’t it hard for you, being away from Carlos?” Natasha scoffed and looked at the clock. ”He will be here in a few hours, there is no way that man would let me leave without coming here to find me. He’s with the pack during the days and then comes here at night. On the other hand, I wouldn't ever forgive him if he didn't come, we need each other and a single night away is one night too many,” ”I hear that,” Amber said lowly.She missed Malia and I understood her. Being away from James before was excruciating and considering they weren't marked either, the fear of losing the bond was there, I knew it because I had felt it too. So I could imagine the pain Amber was going through, only hers was worse because she had no idea when- or if- they'd meet again. But I would make sure they did.”How do you think the war will go?” She was asking Natasha.”Had this been another war, f
