“Oshmin…” I breathe in disbelief. I don’t know how I know it, but every cell in my body is telling me that the man in front of me is… the God Oshmin, the one who created my kind. “I haven’t heard that name in a long time,” he says wistfully. “Feels strange to hear it again.” He casually walks over to a stone bench and sits down on it while I blink as if my brain has shut down because I actually think it has. I’m crazy. I’ve officially snapped. I’m now hallucinating Gods, though my hallucinations are very creative, I’ll give myself that. “You’re not hallucinating. I’m very real and very here,” he says with a gentle smile. Did he just read my mind? “Forgive me, but you don’t look like a God,” I say suspiciously. He silently chuckles, “Met many have you?” He smirks. I cover my cheeks as they start to burn. He’s right, I’ve never met a God, how would I even know what one is supposed to look like? I notice him watching me with a small smile. “If it helps, we have an alternate form, we

I was in a semi-asleep state as I manoeuvred in bed, instinctively pulling Mei closer to me, but my eyes snap open when instead of feeling pleasurable jolts of electricity or her soft locks tickling my nose, instead I get a face full of her pillow. “Mei?” I call out as I slowly sit up, now fully awake and alert. 'What’s going on?' Axel yawns and stretches in my mind. I walk over to the bathroom and peek my head in, but nothing. I start sniffing the air and catch her scent, but it’s faded, which means she’s been gone for a while. Dread crashes over me like an avalanche and I start hyperventilating. She can’t be gone, not again. I can’t lose her again! If someone has taken her I swear to the Gods I will unleash hell. 'She wouldn’t just leave on her own, would she? That’s not like her,' Axel frets while pacing back and forth anxiously. Just as I’m about to storm out and try to track her through our bond, I feel a link opening up between us. 'Chris, Axel, I’m so sorry. I’m okay, I p

We all moved into the private banquet hall and sat around the table where I braced myself to hear the truth about my birthplace. I understand now why Oshmin said I could understand these people. The nagata of Longsang are suffering much like how I was at Albus Mons, only difference is it’s at the hands of someone created to defend them and in a place that they are supposed to call home. Zixin has everyone living in fear of him. If you speak or act out of turn or in a way he doesn’t approve of he either kills you or throws you in the dungeons where he tortures you for his own amusement, usually with the help of his General and his General’s animai. I knew those two were rotten to the core. Once you’ve seen the face of true evil, it’s easy to spot. People like that try to hide their dark nature through smiles and fake acts of kindness, and most people believe it. After all, for years no one outside Albus Mons had any idea what it was like. I may have gotten the worst treatment, but I w

Looking around the Tian Pack’s indoor training arena I take slow deep breaths to centre myself. Am I really doing this? Am I really about to lead a war to take down the Emperor of the nagata? This isn’t something I ever imagined for my life, but I know it’s something I have to do. If I stood by and allowed him to continue to hurt people – MY people – I’d be just as bad as him. And what if he ended up hurting someone I love again? Zixin has taken too much from me and everyone else and it has to stop. I have to stop it. I refuse to sit by and continue to be that scared girl anymore. I did not spend all these months training, learning how to fight to protect myself and others to not put it to use when it’s called for. Things got a little heated between the Tian Pack warriors and the Invictus Pack warriors. The Invictus Pack are my pack, so naturally, they want to back me in this fight, but for the Tian Pack, it’s personal since Zixin murdered their previous Luna. Ultimately we all decide

The last few days have been filled with back-to-back training. Vitali and I have been monitoring the Tian Pack closely since their dipshit Beta and Gamma basically planned to nearly assassinate our Alpha. She can’t seem to go a minute without someone plotting to kill her, but Amelia being Amelia, never lets it get to her. I don’t know how she does it. Right now, we don’t trust this pack as far as we can throw them. We’re doing our best to act civil, but we’re not prepared to turn our backs on them in case we end up with a silver dagger between our shoulder blades.That being said – and I’m not trying to downplay the seriousness of what happened – it was all slightly overshadowed by how terrific Mei has shown herself to be over these few days. People are in awe of her, and some are even intimidated by her. She’s been training with Qiang to better prepare her for how to fight her own kind, and she’s been training with Yildiz, Setia and Defne. I thought seeing her train with Setia was en
