The Community    I was amazed to see everyone under Evander’s command and running this community was young. Each person seemed to be more than 5 years older than me. Where were all the old people? We made two more stops to isolated homes before finally making it to the center of the property. I recognized the area from the previous day, where saw the four long homes and the huge barn. Looking at everything now, I realized it would maybe be a year or two before they completely settle in. Unlike Godrics’s land, there weren’t any buildings, stores, or even markets. As soon as we exited the car, all eyes were on us. I noticed a few tables with umbrellas placed near the barn. And in the middle of those tables was a big pit used for grilling food. Smoke arose from the pit and floated through the air. Evander must have noticed me eyeing the umbrellas. By now the sun was at its highest peak. “You can go sit but stay

Zaya's Companion  I was alone staring at myself in the mirror. ‘What just happened?’ I asked myself.I rushed out of his bathroom and out of his bedroom, catching only a glimpse of Evander laying across his bed. I ran to my room and closed the door behind me. My knees collapsed next to the bed. I sat on the floor leaning against it for support as I sat there on the floor.My skin was burning as my chest struggled to maintain a steady breathing pattern. I was scared of him and what he planned on doing to me. But yet my wolf thought otherwise.My wolf missed Godric truly but deep inside, somehow, she was attracted to Evander. He was tall and handsome. But I wasn’t going to give in to her temptation.I fell asleep lying on the floor.My body jerked awake as I felt the sun against my skin. It was morning again. My head was spinning from the little bit of alcohol I digested yesterday. “W

Trophy My mind kept wondering how many other wolves in this community had stories like Audrey. Heroic stories. Tragic stories. How many wolves weighed the option of doing what's right against the pack rules and picked what's right?The pack rules and the undying loyalty of wolves were the one thing I would always have to get used to. It was so different from the way I was raised. Then I thought back to the words I said to Godric when he asked me if I promise to be loyal to him and the pack. Before the Moon Goddess, I promised. I spent the rest of the day with Audrey. Helping her organize her room. It was only after everything was completely unpacked that I caught a glimpse of a picture placed on her nightstand. Her arms were thrown around a little girl with the same face as her that I assumed was her sister. Huge smiles were engraved on their faces forever.As the day wound down and the night crept upon us, both of our

Let's Start Over Wade shouted, “Commander! Mia! You guys are just in time for round two.”Remembering what happened after the last guy touched me, I wiggled free from Wade’s hold. “What’s wrong?” Wade asked.Mia grabbed Evanders hand and tugged him towards the water until they were floating next to us. And without any words, she jumped on his shoulders.“Alright, now it’s a game.” Wade playfully said. He seemed to be the only one who was unaware of the situation. And I was partly to blame.Wade tried to help me back upon his shoulders, but I panicked. I moved away from him.“Don’t be rude Zaya. Get up there.” Evander said to me with no emotion. I couldn’t help but fear what would happen next.I did what was asked of me and got back on Wades’ shoulder.Mason, Wade, and Evander moved in circles trying to give us girl

Thanks For Breakfast ***Day Twenty-Five*** Audrey’s revelation of how Evander became a rogue left me in a state of shock. His mate, who he loved more than anything, was killed in battle. Led to her death by a senseless command. And his grief led him to kill the third most important person in the pack. The Beta.I couldn’t believe my ears as the story unfolded into something dark. The torture he brought upon the Beta is why everyone around him feared him. Including me.But no matter how much I feared his angry side, I pitied him. The loss of a mate was a hard thing to deal with. On a rare occasion, the Moon Goddess would give the blessing of a second chance mate. It seems Evander didn’t get a second chance. He was stuck mate less forever.For two weeks, I held that information in. I never let him know that Audrey told me his story. And I never told him that I saw the picture. I decided I
