With shaking hands, I open the letter and steal myself for what may be inside of it. Knowing that I need answers does not help the sudden sense of dread that fills me as I begin to read the letter.Laina,I know that we have not met before and I am sorry for that. My name is Elle. I am your father's mother. It might sound strange after all of this time to have me leave you a note but I am hoping that you will find it before anybody else does. What I have to tell you should be kept a secret from anybody that you do not trust completely as it could mean life or death for you.The reason that I never met you is because I am a witch. When your parents met, I tried to dissuade them from staying together as it is forbidden for one with witch blood to mix with other supernatural races. As witches, we do not tell our male offspring about supernatrual species because they cannot actually use the same type of magic that we can. Your father knew nothing about werewolves or

I make it back to him without any other distractions. He made it halfway to the cottage and waited in sight for me to emerge. Luckily, nobody else noticed him. I turn into a wolf and land next to him. Instantly, he starts whining and nuzzling me. Through the mind link he keeps telling me  how worried he was about me and how happy he is to have me back safe. I know that I was only away for a few minutes but he must not be used to letting people go into danger without him."Do you know the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack?" I ask through mind link."Vaguely, I never liked nor trusted the guy. Something about him has always seemed off so I tend to stay away from him whenever I can."He tells me."I am pretty sure that is who was in the cottage. I have lots to tell you when we have time. Remind me never to trust the guy if we meet him." I say.He just tilts his head at me and we head back to the others. This is going to be a long discussion to have with him. It

Dante and Kevin worked on the schedule for classes for quite a while. Each introductory class will be larger than the more in depth classes. Once a week there will be a remedial class to go over what everybody learned the previous week. Each remedial class will be larger as it will be full of anybody that wants to do extra work. As my first class to teach is tomorrow, I spend the evening working out a plan with Dante on what all I should cover during the first class. Basic punches and blocks are a must but kicks will be saved for later. Dodging is also something that needs to be taught right away so if we have time during the first class it will be addressed as well. This is going to be the first thing that I attempt to do as a Luna. It is exciting and terrifying all at the same time. "Are you ready for your first class?" Dante asks the next morning while we wait in the big gym across town for people to begin arriving."I think. I know what I am doin

After about 2 weeks of classes everybody is improving quite nicely. They seem to be getting more energy to get through the classes and  gain confidence in their moves. We are going to introduce them to sparring at the end of the month. Right now their version of sparring is just dodging attacks from someone else. Lovette is the name of the lady that came to me after the very first class. She might be a little shy and quiet but she catches on really quickly. I have never seen somebody so determined to be good at fighting like she is. The first time that we had a private lesson, she came in with bruises on her ribs but would not tell me about them. I let Dante know through our mind link which just made him even more furious at the lack of evidence he seems to be finding to link anybody to the bullying situation. This is leading us to believe that it might be be a family member which makes us feel sad for her. What kind of family member does something like that?

I do not like that Lovette is gone by the time that I get up in the morning but since there is not much that I can do about it I prepare for my day. I have been trying to get up early enough to exercise lately so that is my goal for this morning before classes start as well. Dante is already awake and downstairs working like normal so I roll over to get up and get dressed. I cannot stop worrying about Lovette and how she could be doing but there is nothing that I can do for her if she does not want to help herself. I am not sure how to get her to see that but there has to be a way to help her out emotionally as well as physically."Dante, I keep thinking about what is going on with Lovette. There has to be something else that we can do." I implore."I know I keep thinking about the situation as well. I can't believe that my own brother would be willing to do something like this to a female. His female at that. She does not want the help enough though so I am not sure w
