The silver moon festival was tomorrow and the day of my departure was the day after. I know it seems like we're rushing, but we need to move fast. Phoenix had called for a meeting at the pack house dinning area. My eyes shifted around the table as everyone took their seats. By everyone I mean, Tobias, Landon, Trevor and Felix. The last two looked like they wanted to be anywhere but here. I wouldn't wonder why, since Phoenix won't stop glaring at them, Trevor especially. Remember that I told Phoenix about him and Giselle being mates. I'd managed to stop him from ripping the poor guy apart, but that wouldn't stop him from wishing he could. I chuckled and placed my hand over his clenched fist, " stop it" I whispered to him. Phoenix scoffed and entwined our fingers, " Can't I just strangle them a little?" He asked loud enough for the two men to back away in fear. I rolled my eyes and turned

  It was finally the day of the festival. Every single person in the pack was even busier than yesterday. I was standing by the long banquet table, staring in awe at the beautifully decorated clearing. Just yesterday it looked like the work would never end, but now it's...glorious.   " Um...e-excuse me Luna, can you please move a bit?" A small strained voice asked. I made way for the small teen boy, " Sorry" I smiled and helped him put the tray on the table. He blushed a little and bowed, ready to walk away. But I stopped him, " Simon, is it?" I asked the boy. He flinched and nodded.    I used to see him stumbling around the pack house kitchen, the boy was quite clumsy and small for his age. " C-can I help you with s-something, Luna?" He asked with his head down. I want to pinch his face.   "Can I pinch your face?" I asked without missing a beat. To say he look

  Third person   The time for the rituals had come and Clover felt every fibre of her being tingle with excitement. It wasn't her fault. Although back in her former pack they did celebrate the moon festival, they didn't really enjoy it because they were constantly on the run from that beast.   As she looked around at all the mated pairs that stood in the clearing, who were ready to perform the mate dance, which was the first of three rituals, all her previous excitement washed away and butterflies fluttered about in her stomach.   She faced her mate, who was listening intently to what the elder on the stage was saying.    Phoenix felt her distress before she could even speak up. He looked at her and asked in a worried tone, " What is the problem?", She chewed on the inside of her cheek before standing on her toe and whispering in his ear, "

 Hours later... We've been walking for hours. The sky was so dark we had to use our wolf vision to tread through the thick forest. I was extremely tired and had to lean on Millicent as my support, who didn't seem at all.  It's not fair...we used to walk for days without rest..so what's happening now???... Maybe it's cause we haven't done it in a while... You're right...it's all Phoenix's fault... My chest tightened at the mere thought of my mate. We'd lost contact hours ago, but it was like I could still here him whispering how much he missed me through our mind links. I sighed mentally and looked towards the other eight wolves in front of me. Trevor and Felix were walking further than the rest of us. I smiled a bit at their great zeal to push forward. I was tired but I didn't want to let them down.

CLOVERThe short cut was very narrow and eerily quiet. My skin crawled and the hairs on my neck stood at attention. Since I was the strongest here, me being a Luna, my senses were higher. As we went deeper, I could feel something watching from the trees, “ Hey...we’re being watched. Don’t panic or else they’ll attack. These rogues have lost their senses so they rely on sounds and body language. They’re extremely irrational and unpredictable so try to stay calm and don’t look them in the eyes” I said quietly and they nodded in response.Another pair of eyes followed our movements and I could hear the pants and wild heartbeat of the rogues. Well, as long as we stick to my advice nothing will go wrong—“ What. The. Fuck?” Millicent whisper yelled. My eyes followed to what they were all looking at.The sight before us was stomach wrenching and very disturbing. Two rogues feasting on another rogue. Cannibalism. “ What should we do now?” Millicent asked.Nobody had the guts to move as the si
