The first thing Eva noticed as she was pulled from the safe confines of sleep was the weight of something across her waist. It was a familiar feeling but one Eva hadn't experienced in over a year. It was the telltale sign of a body close to her own. It was a protective arm relaxed over her body, holding her close but not trapping her.Slowly Eva became aware of the warmth radiating from a body next to hers, the soft cotton sheets, the softness of the pillows under her head and the weight of the duvet over her body. The rain had stopped and the sun was fighting against the grey clouds racing across the sky. The buttery light of the morning sun pulsed softly between the shadows of the clouds, lighting up the room every few seconds. The events of the previous day came back to Eva in a great wave. Eshe and her father had told Eva Eshe was stepping down as the Alpha and had made the decision to pass the mantle to Daniel. Silver Moon and the Hellhou

Daniel was silently grateful when his home finally came into view. Being away for long periods of time never bothered him but even he could appreciate the comforts of being home. He knew where everything was. He knew the people around him, where had the best bacon butties and all those great little places where he could get some time to himself. He knew where his tools were, where to find something as simple as a teaspoon or mug and best of all, his bed was the way he liked it. Settling in had been easy enough even if at first Eva had been reluctant to stay in Daniel's room. She had eventually agreed when Daniel had pointed out they had already shared a bed several times. Admittedly that was all they had done. Sure they had ki

"Is it true you kicked Daniel out of his bedroom last night?" Eva was in the middle of using yoga to help calm herself down when the familiar voice of Daniel's sister broke her train of thought.  Looking up, Eva regarded the heavily pregnant woman. Leah had almost become a replacement for Maria except for the fact she was Daniel's sister and Eva felt she had to be careful with what she said. It wasn't that she thought Leah was spying on her when Daniel couldn't be there but family is family and they talk.  "I thought you might want this." Leah held out a large coffee from a coffee shop down the road. "Consider it a bribe."  Eva smiled at that and pushed herself to feet. Taking the paper cup, she mumbled a thanks and took a sip, humming happily. Caffeine and cream… utter bliss.  "So, what did he do?" Leah prompted.  Eva caught h

Darkness closed in around Daniel as he let Hades take over. The air was frigid against his skin for a moment before Hades came forth and bones cracked and reshaped. Fur sprouted from tattooed skin and blue eyes turned amber as Daniel fell onto all fours. It felt like stretching tired muscles and cracking bones after a hard day's work to release tension.  Now in control, Hades shook out his coat with a huff, letting the cold air skim through his fur and nip at his wet nose. Around him other wolves shuffled and stretched, large jaws opening wide to bare razor sharp teeth. There were ten in total of caring colours and sizes, all waiting for their Alpha to lead the way. Hades stood tall over the others, his black coat blending into the night so all that remained was glowing amber eyes like two round flecks of flames in the abyss. Occasionally the silver glow of the moon would catch his pelt, highlighting powerful muscles that rippled under

"I'm from the Emerald Pack."  Bethan's voice was quiet and Eva nearly missed it. The pack name rang a bell but Eva didn't really know much about packs beyond her own. It wasn't something they taught back at Silver Moon. What Eva did know was that the Emerald Pack was not close. It sat on the coast of Wales. Bethan was far away from home. "Were you here for the singles event?" Eva asked and Bethan nodded. "We need to contact your Alpha and let them know what's happened. I'm sure your pack are extremely worried."  Bethan's face darkened for a moment, an emotion washed through her that almost looked like fear but Eva couldn't work out why she would be scared. Eva was convinced she was just seeing things. Perh
