Stormie-When I woke up, I had been lying on the ground in Axel’s arms. When I passed out, I remembered being by the waterfall, but I had woken up next to our clothes. Axel was still asleep, so I had carefully got up to get dressed before he woke up. I wasn’t embarrassed by being naked, but suddenly, I was a little shy.I don’t know what came over me last night to be so bold. It was almost as if I had no control over myself. I didn’t regret what happened. Facing away from Axel, I smiled as I zipped my coat. It was weird that I didn’t feel like I needed a coat until I remembered that now that I have a wolf, my body temperature was much higher than before.“Good morning.” Axel’s groggy voice startled me, and I quickly turned around.He was sitting up, rubbing his hand through his tussled hair. He didn’t seem shy at all as he slowly stood up, stretching his arms high above his head. My eyes traveled to his groin. Heat spread over my face, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted a repeat of last ni

Stormie-Catching up with Axel, I grabbed the sleeve of his jacket to stop him. “Axel.”He quickly pulled away, and in a split second, he had me pinned against the wall, with his hand wrapped around my neck. His eyes were dark and deadly. It was as if he wasn’t aware of what he was doing. As his hand tightened around my throat, my ability to breathe was cut off.“Axel…” I managed to gasp as I tried to pull his hand away from my throat.He didn’t respond as he squeezed tighter. My wolf surged forward, but I held her back. I don’t know what happened to him, but I could tell he didn’t know what he was doing. I wedged my fingers between his palm and my neck, not wanting to startle him. Placing one hand on his chest, I massaged his chest gently.“Axel, p-please. I-I can’t b-breathe. It is S-Stormie.” As I spoke, I could see some inner conflict inside him.He still didn’t loosen his grip. Feeling lightheaded, I thought perhaps he was going to kill me. Since my attempt to get him to see him

Axel-After Stormie’s first training session, I was impressed. She told me she had no formal training. If it weren’t for that, I would have guessed she has. Her reflexes were sharp. If she continued at this pace, I believe she could become a top warrior in less than a year.I wished I could focus on her a little more, but my schedule was tight. Other than giving her an hour’s training in the evening, I barely saw her for nearly a week. I was trying to find out information about her parents after learning they didn’t originate from this Pack.It was weird because I couldn’t find out anything prior to them coming here. Every lead I had turned into a dead end. Luckily, there haven’t been any more incidents since I choked her in the hall. I felt terrible leaving Stormie to learn things on her own.After training every night, I had to shut myself in my office to find a new lead. I only saw her when I returned late at night and found her asleep in the library. I knew she was working hard, b

Landon-I wouldn’t say I liked it, but I did as I was told. It was likely because I was being punished for punching the Alpha earlier. The only thing I regretted was not punching him harder. I didn’t know why I reacted as I did, but things have changed this past week.Spending time around Stormie, I realized that perhaps Misty had lied entirely to me or stretched the truth. Seeing how hard Stormie was working on improving myself, I couldn’t deny that there was something charming about her. She still wasn’t Misty, but I couldn’t help but wish Misty was like Stormie.Unlike Misty, Stormie wanted to work for what she had. Misty was more of a spoiled princess. I hadn’t minded it in the past because I was willing to do anything for Misty, but now, when I looked into Stormie’s eyes, I couldn’t help but be drawn to her fierceness.Stormie was willing to push herself to be accepted, while Misty demanded it from others. When Stormie collapsed, I didn’t know if I was mad at Axel or myself. My e

Stormie-Standing before the entire Pack, I felt like a completely different person. In the past, I would be nervous and willing to stand behind someone to hide. Now, I felt empowered. I thought I would have just learned things in the last two weeks, but it was more than that. It changed me.“I know many of you are curious about why I asked for this. Many of you doubt my ability to be Luna. Yes, I started this under my twin sister’s identity, Misty. I am also aware that many of you have heard her side of the story, but you haven’t heard mine.” I had to pause as the crowd became unruly, insulting, and attempting to provoke me.Instead of listening to their chatter, I waited calmly for them to settle. Axel stepped forward to speak into the microphone, but I grabbed his arm to stop him. If they needed to let out some steam, so be it. I wanted them to see that I was unaffected.“I won’t go into all the details because I know that throwing shade isn’t going to win me any points. All I will
