A WOMAN

KOOKIE:Today is the day my life changes.I recently turned eighteen, and there is no mate in sight, which gives me hope that Alpha Prince Levi is my mate.Today is my induction—the day I finally step into my role after years of studying werewolf medicine abroad. My pulse races as excitement fills me, but mostly because I get to see Levi again after three years.I exhale shakily, smoothing my dress as I stand before the mirror, staring at my reflection. The silk fabric clings to my figure, the deep blue color complementing my pale skin. Luna sent it days ago as a congratulatory gift for passing my final exams. The thought makes me smile because I know Levi must have picked it out—blue is his favorite color on me.Levi has been my best friend for years, and we practically grew up together with my father being Beta. As kids, we always believed we were meant to be mates. Even our parents believed it, and Luna used to joke that if I wasn’t Levi’s mate, she’d exile our mates so we could be

SILENT REJECTION

Kookie“There you are,” my mother says just as I catch the glowing jewel on Amber’s finger. My throat goes dry as I turn around, staring at my mother.What is happening?Tears blur my vision as I look between my mother and Levi, silently begging for an explanation. The ache in my chest is unbearable, threatening to rip me apart. A sob escapes before I can hold it back, and my mother reaches for my hand.“Come on, baby,” she whispers gently.But I yank my hand away.Lifting the hem of my gown, I turn and run without looking back.Why, Moon Goddess? Why would you give me a mate only to make him love someone else?I question the Moon Goddess as if she is standing right in front of me. I don’t get far before a firm hand grips my wrist, stopping me in my tracks. My chest heaves as I turn, finding my father’s eyes tinged with sadness. My mother is right behind him, breathless from chasing after me.My legs buckle, and I crash against my father’s chest, sobbing.“What’s happening, Dad?” I ma

ALL FORMS OF BETRAYAL

KOOKIE:I wake up with the worst bellyache, and I already know what it means. It has been a month since that night with Levi, and as a doctor, I do not need a test to confirm that I am pregnant, but I find myself in front of the bathroom mirror, clutching the pregnancy test kit in trembling hands, praying I am wrong.Peeing into a cup, I dip the stick in and wait, my heart hammering against my ribs. The seconds stretch endlessly, and when I finally gather the courage to look, my stomach drops as two bold lines glare back at me.My legs give out, and I crash onto the floor with my hands still clutching the stick. Tears spill down my cheeks as I beat myself up for not taking a pill. I was too shaken after that night to even think of taking one. But this is worse, and I wish I could go back to prevent it.Maybe he will change and call off the engagement when he hears this. The thought slithers into my mind, and I try to shake it off, but the reality of raising a child alone as an eightee

KOOKIE MORNINGSTAR DIED

KOOKIE:My paws pound relentlessly against the earth as I run through the forest, stretching endlessly before me. I don’t know where I’m going, but I know I am never turning back.The thought of staying back in that pack means a lifetime of lies, of watching them pretend they never broke me. My baby deserves better than a father like Levi—or even my family. It is my duty to protect her, and I will do so even if it costs me my life.Exhaustion soon takes over, and the setting sun begins to give way to the moon. I’ve run so far that nothing smells familiar anymore—just the leafy green trees, which remind me of the herbs we practiced with in school.Finally, my legs give out, and my wolf shifts back against my will, causing me to collapse onto the cold forest floor, gasping for air. I lean against the rough bark of a tree, pressing my trembling hand to my chest.A sudden crackle splits through the sky, causing me to snap my head up as lightning flashes in the distance, illuminating the f

THE WEEKLY VIRUS

SIX YEARS LATERDR. SAGE (KOOKIE):Six years of pain, and I am finally living a bit of my dream life in a small pack with my daughter—the only light in my world. She sits in the backseat, swinging her tiny legs, humming along to the soft melody of Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off, playing from the car speakers. I smile as I sing along with her, my heart swelling with warmth.The road ahead is clear, with the morning sun streaming into the car, and for a fleeting moment, everything feels perfect.Suddenly, we come to a halt in front of the school, and Blue claps her hands excitedly.“We arrived before Charlotte, yay!” she cheers, bouncing in her seat. I glance out the window to see her friend’s father pulling up a few meters away.“Yay,” I echo softly.I reach for the door handle, but before I can unlock it, her tiny voice stops me.“Mommy?”I look into the rearview mirror, meeting her beautiful golden eyes—eyes that remind me too much of him.“Will I ever see my daddy?”A sharp pang crosse

HALLUCINATING

KOOKIE:It’s been a few days since I received the message from the Diamond Moon Pack, and God, I wish I could get it out of my mind. But after researching what is known as the “weekly virus,” the guilt keeps eating at me. I know they hurt me, but the thought of my parents dying from a virus I can easily stop keeps me up at night. And… a part of me still thinks of Levi, wondering if there’s an explanation for what he did.I kept tabs on him, and I learned he got the virus shortly after I got the letter. Each day I count down to when he is supposed to die, and currently he has about twenty-four hours, or if his immune system is strong enough, he will live for two more days to complete a week.“Mommy, can we get strawberry milk?” Blue’s voice pulls me from my thoughts, and I force a smile, nodding.“Of course, baby. Go grab one from the fridge, okay?”She grins and rushes toward the fridge at the end of the aisle. I keep my eyes on her for a second before turning to the counter to hand m

LET THEM SUFFER

KOOKIE:Levi stares at me without words, and I cannot tell if regret is sinking in. But I doubt it—anyone who did what he did to me six years ago cannot have a heart, let alone feel.“What’s the problem? Cat got your tongue?” I ask, trying to sound brave to mask the hurt in my heart. After all these years, I still want to know why he hurt me.Even when I ask, he doesn’t say a thing.“Oh, I forgot. Your body must be buckling. Look at you—you can’t even walk.” His lips curve into a smirk as I say this, and it makes me feel like I’m losing control.He lets out a sigh, then speaks. “Thank you for coming, Dr. Sage.”He extends a hand for a handshake, but I do not take it. Even though he is properly clothed, I cannot risk touching him and infecting myself or Blue.“Keep your hands to yourself!” I bite out, cradling my baby tightly to my chest. He lowers his hand.“Very well then, we’ll go straight to the point,” he says, and my brows furrow.“You must have received the mail we sent. We need

A BRIEF FIGHT

KOOKIE:“Them.” His words linger in my head as I think of my parents.I wonder if they are okay, but I’m sure that if something had happened, Levi would have told me. And he’s right, if I don’t release the medication, my parents may catch the virus and die. I know I swore my daughter wouldn’t meet them, but since stepping foot into this pack, the nostalgia has been killing me, and the thought of them dying is almost unbearable.“Mummy, who is that man?” Blue’s question pulls me back to reality. I stare at her, trying so hard to smile, but even my muscles are too broken and sad to cooperate.“You don’t have to worry about him, baby. We’ll be fine, and we can watch your favorite movie soon.” I pat her hair gently, fighting back the unshed tears shimmering in my eyes. I kiss her forehead, pressing her face to my chest.I know she’s no longer a baby, but I couldn’t care less. She is my baby, and no matter how big or heavy she grows, nothing will change that. I pat her back slowly, trying

NO CHILD

LEVI:From my window on the second floor, I see it all. The way Donald smacks her and the guard who rips her daughter from her arms. It eats deep into my chest, wounding me more than I already am.My grip on the wheelchair tightens, my knuckles paling. My wolf growls angrily at what it has witnessed. How could he? I want to hit Donald, but I know I cannot because my body is weak, and I hate it, but at the same time, I love it. This is because the Moon Goddess granted my last wish. All I asked was to see Kookie before dying, and now that I have, I do not mind dying.I should leave her a detailed note on what happened, I say to myself. But first, I have to make Donald pay for touching her. A part of me wishes I could live so I could give her the protection I couldn’t provide years ago because I was a foolish boy who allowed my mate to go so easily.As I watch Donald sling her over his shoulder, I manage to wheel myself back to my bed, where I slump onto it as more pain courses through m

GOOD TIMING

Levi:“Mum, what are you doing?” I ask, watching her take off her mask and rub my sweat on her face.“What a mother must do,” she says, then I watch her put on the mask and cover her fingers. Suddenly, it hits me as I realize she wants to use herself to get Kookie to work, but I might be dead before then.“This will probably not work because I have only a few hours, and you might not get it before then.”The corner of her face lifts in a smile.“I am old, Levi, so I will be down with it by tomorrow. Besides, it can be detected in the body before one falls ill, so I will get her to see me, and I will let her run some tests.”She has a plan, but I try not to bank on it because I do not know how feasible it is.“That isn’t all there is to it,” she says, and I glare at her, waiting for her to speak. “You need to keep Kookie here. The Moon Candy Pack is not the reason she is great because we all know that pack is nothing compared to ours. She was raised here, and she studied at the Opal Mo
