It hadn’t been much longer after Victor left that I passed out again. Waking up to the taste of something so sweet, almost floral in my mouth. I drank up the liquid quickly and with almost a desire for more. “Slow down Laura…” Herman’s voice called out “I mean, Luna Laura” he corrected himself as someone scoffed. I opened my eyes as Herman was screwing a lid back onto a flask, giving me an exhausted smile. “That should have done it, you will be feeling much better now I think.” He paused giving me a once over before he let out a satisfied sigh. I felt overjoyed as I felt my body reconnected to my brain, I moved all my fingers and toes before stretching out and hearing that ever-satisfying snap of my bones. But the pain soon flooded through me as I winced, looking down at my bare arms I saw pink fresh skin. “Ah, yes,” Herman muttered before he put cold cream on my arms, massaging them delicately but still causing some pain.   I mus

It was a surreal experience walking around the pack grounds, every person that saw me would go wide-eyed and stare or ignore me. I felt a sense of shame as I recognized some people’s faces from the crowd that had surrounded Luna Ashly and myself. I had failed to protect her, and they knew it as much as I did. I felt the all too familiar quickening of my heartbeat as everyone’s faces began to blur. My lips tingled as all the moisture in my mouth disappeared and I felt the urge to pass out. I looked around frantically trying to find someone familiar but could no longer recognize any of the faces. I felt my chest start to hurt as the voices and mumbling of everyone got louder in my ears, thumping against my brain. Laughter echoed out as the faces began to morph into cruel smiles as I felt my lips part as I tried to suck in air, my lungs felt like they were closing up with each passing second. I gripped the sides of my head in my hands wishing for the buzz of voices to stop

Domini walked in almost oblivious to the tension in the room, or maybe he was just ignoring it. "Are you serious?" I muttered as he quickly glanced around realizing we were all upset. All three of us were glaring at Domini, and I assumed for the same reason.“What?” He asked fanning ignorance.“Where’s the other guy?” Micheal asked in an uninterested tone but I smiled slyly knowing that he did like him.“Ah, well Alpha Victor wanted to speak to him privately.”I raised my eyebrows as I felt concerned for Dimitri’s welfare, images of Victor allowing his sister to be injured reminding me of the man he was.“I’m sure he will be fine,” Domini said with a grin that did not touch his eyes, not helping the worry building inside me.Ellen cleared her throat before glancing at me “she knows.”Domini growled before closing his eyes and pinchi

We all funneled into the hall, I felt a surge of anticipation and awe as I looked around. The main entrance was much larger than the outside let you believe, portraits lined the walls of every wolf that our pack had ever completed the transformation. As we walked further into the building the painted portraits transitioned into photos, remarkable how humans had advanced technology. Mr. Marks stopped at a set of large wooden doors, one hand placed on the handle grinning at all of us. “Nothing fills me with more pride than this, the moment you all leave childhood and become adults. I must say, it has been such a pleasure and achievement to watch each and every one of you grow into the people you have.” There were lots of awws and thank yous as we all clapped, Mr. Marks, wiping a tear from his eye. “Okay, follow me!” He called before the doors swung open revealing a stunning open room. It was larger than any room I had ever been in, the walls were a silv

I hovered over Bella trying to think of something I could do to comfort her as her breathing became labored, more screams slowly happening around me as others felt the first stages. “Bella… what can I do?” I did not expect her to answer and she didn’t too focused on the obvious pain. I watched mystified and horrified as I watched her left arm jut out as bones broke and reformed in front of my eyes. She had her mouth clamped shut as if she was refusing to allow herself to scream. I glanced around the room as I saw many people in the same position, the rest of us waiting in a panicked trance. My eyes met with Victor’s again as he seemed to be watching me intensely, his expression disappointed as if he had expected me to start shifting already. Bella scared me as instead of screaming this time she howled, her eyes connecting with mine were black. I smiled at her knowing that the hardest part for her was over as her body began to continuously crack and reform int
