MAXINEI turned around to see the Luna Queen. She was dressed in less formal regalia and she walked towards me. I was shocked that she knew my father's name. I never told her."How do you know my father's name?" I asked, unable to keep the surprise out of my voice. "I never told you."She took a seat next to me on the bench. I was outside, receiving fresh air in the gardens."He's the one holding you back," she replied instead. "When I was reading your energy, he was on your mind a lot. I couldn't help it when I got a vision."I wondered what else she might have seen. Especially regarding Liam."He gave you away," she said, confirming my suspicions.I wanted to tell her that I didn't want to talk about it but she was helping me with my controlling journey and maybe she could help me move past this."You wonder what this would mean for you and your father if you eventually awaken your wolf through the artifact's energy." She said, saying exactly what was on my mind.I tried not to sigh

MAXINEThe driver drove us away, farther and farther away. I stared outside the window, watching the trees and the landscape go by. After almost more than an hour of driving, we pulled off of the main road and took a side road.The road soon faded into a dirt track until we were driving through the forest, being tossed about in the back seat. The Luna Queen held onto the handlebar and maintained her balance pretty well. I had to hold on with a death grip."Sorry about that. Cinder doesn't want to move out of her home carved into a mountainside for anything. She's the only one there for miles. She likes the quiet and she's never moving away. Even when reaching her is this terrible." The Luna queen explained."Cinder?" I asked, a little confused."Cinderella. The lore keeper." She replied."Oh." I've never heard of anyone being named that.The driver was holding on well. He looked like he had done this a lot because he had a bored look on his face when he dodged things that could have o

MAXINE"Oh, I know. Thanks." I smiled and stepped around her. I hurried to my room and closed the door. Weird children. Dear goddess…The next day, Cinder woke me up for breakfast. Not a lot of the kids were downstairs, mostly the younger ones because they didn't need to be at the table.Magpie was very sweet and she tried to share every single thing she was having with me.After breakfast, she took me out of the house and we walked along the edge of the mountain, taking the steps that were carved out of rock to the top. It was a long walk. I broke out in sweat despite the wind blowing in our hair.Cinder moved with zero effort. It was almost like she did this daily. I wondered if she did."Are you nervous?" she asked, breaking the quiet as we neared the top.I glanced forward at her. "A little," I admitted. "I don't know what to expect.""Neither do I," she said with a small smile. "But you'll be fine."When we got to the top, I collapsed on my knees and hands, catching some rest. Ci

MAXINEI shut my eyes, fear gripping me in a way that it had never done before. I had been shot. Never have I been shot before. I looked down at my body, searching for the gun wound.I needed to stop the bleeding. But I realized that I was fine. I looked at Oz, he was unarmed. And then Cinder. She was also unarmed.I heard the thud behind me and turned to see one of the rogues drop to the ground, gripping a gun wound on his chest."Thank you, Zel." Oz exhaled even though she couldn't hear him.Cinder frowned. A few moments later, Zel and Raine ran into the house. "Are all of them gone?" Raine asked.Oz nodded. "Yes." He replied, "Nice save, by the way. That was quick." He told Zel. She smiled."Where did you get the gun?" Cinder asked, her voice firm and authoritative. She did not sound pleased."It doesn't matter, Mom. I know you don't like guns but they're easier than swords and daggers, and even arrows." Zel replied.I wanted to defend her but it wasn't my place. I didn't have a sa

"How is that possible?" I asked, still shocked. I put my empty bowl down."Easy. I called it." Raine said as if that was supposed to explain everything. She handed her bowl to Cinder who poured a spoon of stew into it. Raine smiled in thanks.Zel rolled her eyes. "It's an old tradition of ours. There's this cave with weapons and based on the energy you have, the weapon chooses you. Once you accept it, it's like a part of you." She explained."So, you can call it from anywhere you want?" I asked, wondering how that was possible and if it could truly work."Not quite," Oz replied as he grabbed Magpie when she tried to touch the fire. She pouted, knowing that she had been caught."If you're close enough, yes," Raine replied. They all suddenly glanced at Cinder and I did the same."What?" She asked."Mom," Zel said, a tone to her voice. "Come on.""Fine," Cinder agreed. "But it's not everyone that you guys think is worthy of a weapon that I am going to take. The only reason I'm agreeing i
