Mina Wolf....I looked out of my window, hoping to catch the sight of the full moon.My insides twist with nerves as fear and dread consumed me.This was not how I was meant to feel on the night of my mating.Pressing my hands to my chest, I tried to feel my wolf. She was silent, as she had been for the past thirty days.Since I found my mate a month ago, my father had put a hold to my wolf, refusing me the nature of shifting.'My only daughter will be mated the proper way.' He said.'Not in the woods in the middle of no where. It will be in front of my people.' He said.I tried to fight him. I really did. But when the urge to shift and mate with Mika grew stronger, father simply locked my wolf within me, forcing her away.The last thirty days had been horrible. While the full moons pull was no longer a problem, the pain of having my wolf locked away was unimaginable.But tonight, he'll finally let me shift. He'll finally let me be with my mate, who I've not seen in the last mo

The sun peeked through the small window at the top of the cell.I glanced at the window. My head was leaned against my knees, which were still drawn to my chest.My tears had long dried and my body got used to the cold. But I did not sleep a wink last night, too afraid that the Alpha might come and visit me in my sleep.Last night kept playing in my head. Raphael had wanted to hurt me, amd I mean really hurt me.But why?I've never met him before nor did I even know what he looked like. But the hatred he held for me was a deep one, one that seemed to have taken root in him a long time ago.'Haden will regret ever crossing me.' That's what he had said to me last night. What could my father have done for him to take me from my home, on the night of my mating ceremony nonetheless?And most of all, what is he going to do to me?I pulled I eyes away from the window and I heard soft clicks of footstep echoing through the dungeons.I looked over to the door, expecting the see the Alpha agai

Raphael Stars...I looked out the window of my office. The sight of the woods caused my wolf to stir.Placing my right palm flat against my chest, I rubbed it in a circular motion so my wolf would calm down.The pull to the woods is always tempting, especially near the full moon. I knew I could never enjoy a run with my people again. Even though my wolf wanted to go for a run, he settled in my head.I watched as the sun rose up to the sky, shining it's beautiful rays down on the small forest, making it look more tempting that it did before.Ten years.It's been ten long years since I've been in those woods. Ten painfully long years since I'd led my people on a full moon run.Ten horrifyingly long years since...I glanced at the picture on top of my table.It's been ten years since I casted the frame down to face the surface of the table and not once have I touched that frame again.It was left down. I never dared to touch it again. Everyone knows not to touch tha

Beatrice took me back to the kitchen, where the ladies who were preparing breakfast a while ago were lined up and waiting for us.My dress matched with theirs but the only difference was the hair and the shoes.Their hairs were combed back and secured tightly in to a bun at the nap of their necks, not a single strand out of place. Their dresses were perfectly pressed and they were wearing white sandlas on their feet."Girls..." Beatirce called out from beside me and their eyes immediately went to her. They looked up at her like she was their leader. "We have a new wolf that will be assisting you. If you need any assistance with your work, then ask. By the end of the day, it will be your responsibility to make sure that she will return to this kitchen when I'm present."The women looked at me up and down as if I was enemy number one. There were like ten of them and each sported some sort of hatred towards me."Am I understood?" Beatrice asked and the rest of the women mumbled a yes."G

Raphael Stars...I rolled around in bed, trying to find a comfortable position to fall asleep. Like always, sleep was not going to come.Each night I come to bed, I'd struggle to sleep, even after I'd moved rooms.A few years back, I was still sleeping in that bed, in the room next to the nursery. The room was filled with too may memories that I could never get a decent sleep.When father suggested that I move to another room so I could get better sleep, I did just that. But it never worked.My mind would constantly travel to the nursery I was building and to the bedroom right beside it.They never left my mind. Even after ten years, they keep visiting me at night.Letting out a heavy sigh, I rolled to my back and stared up at the ceiling.My head was throbbing and my body was exhausted but I still couldn't sleep. It was as if my mind was too scared to show me images of what I'd lost again.I let out another sigh I could count sheep but that would just make my wolf hungry. A h
