Mother!Cassie walked through the heavy iron gates of the Greyer Pack grounds after pretending not to have seen the letterLucas's voice echoed throughout the courtyard. Her kid raced toward her, his little legs carrying him as fast as they could. With every pace, his black hair leaped; his unusual eyes, which seemed to hold secrets no seven year old should have, shone with pure happiness at seeing her.She knelt down in perfect time to catch him as he flung himself into her arms. His embrace was comforting and well-known, yet she could feel his faint energy emanating from him—the power that never fully quieted. Lucas mumbled against her shoulder, his voice muted but full of feeling, "I missed you so much."“What trip took you? You were away for far too long.Softly smoothing down his unruly hair, Cassie responded “I had some business to take care of at the Red Claw. But now I'm back and that's all that counts,”Near the gate, Mark and Lark stood observing the reunion with faces co

Jamie fought his way through the thick forest, the dry branches cracking under his boots. Blood ran down his shirt. His hands were filthy. He looked like a man who had been fighting his way through the forest for ages.That was the plan.He staggered upon the border of Greyer Pack lands, out of breath. His cloak was ripped. Mud smeared his face. Everything needed to look real.The guards noticed him."Alpha Jamie?" one of them called, approaching with a torch."I returned as fast as I could," Jamie gasped, rushing forward. "Any sign of Lucas?"The guard turned his head. "Not yet. But we keep trying."Jamie nodded.He walked in the direction of the middle hall, simulating a limp, but every step was calculated. Controlled.Maeven waited for him at the hallHer expression was one of worry. "My Alpha, the moon goddess, be praised for letting you return home in one piece." She exclaimed "Are you injured?" Maeven looked at the blood on his chest.Jamie shook his head. "Just thorn cuts.

“Noooo…,” Cassie screamed as she lunged forward.The field went berserk. Lucas's yell had sliced through the air like a blade, and then vanished into silence. The ritual circle glowed brightly, too brightly and then vanished. The light that was meant to burn brighter dimmed and died.Lucas gazed at his hands, blood oozing from the new cuts Jamie had made in them. Jamie's face was paler than bone. "What's going on?"The air itself lost its enchantment. The electric energy which had made all their skin tingle just a few seconds ago vanished entirely. Daisy's incantation stalled in mid-word, her voice breaking."This is not right." Daisy panicked as her eyes flew wide open. She gazed back at the dying circle, at Jamie's bleeding hands. "It's not your bloodline. The magic will not take."Jamie's head jerked up. "What do you mean, not my bloodline?"The words hung in the air like a pronouncement of death. The Greyer warriors with their hands around Jamie clamped down harder, but he wa

Cassie JonesI went further, the wolf stood still at the dead end.She started metamorphing right before my eyes Alexa!! My mind screamed.There she stood before me, she looked exactly like Alexa. I mean, every damn detail. Sharp cheekbones, lips I used to trace with my finger, hair all wild and dark, falling over her shoulders in that perfectly messy way. Even the little scar above her eyebrow,the one she got falling off the star sat there prettily on her face.But then she opened her mouth, and I swear, every drop of blood in my body turned to ice.“You shouldn’t have followed me.”Her voice was Alexa’s. Like, not just close, identical. I was very certain that this was Alexa.“Alexa?” My voice cracked like I was thirteen again.She cocked her head at me, her eyes blank as a winter sky. “Sorry…”“Aren't you Alexa,” I asked, beginning to question myself.“I don't know anyone with that name,” she responded. She was unnecessarily calm to be Alex. Bullshit! I took a step closer any

The two guards stood stiff as boards, shooting nervous side-eye at each other. They stared at the woman before them. Her black cloak billowed in the wind, and her presence was dominating.“I want to meet the Luna,” Alexa said again, calm but demandingGuard Thomas stepped forward, his grip firm on his weapon. “What’s your name and business?No one sees the Luna without,"“Without what?” She cut him off, her lips curling into a cold smile “Permission from ordinary guards?”Before Thomas could finish embarrassing himself, the heavy clomp of boots approached them.Martins, the head guard, emerged from the shadows. His face was stern, and his eyes immediately locked onto Alexa with suspicion.“What’s happening here?” Martins barked, his voice rolling out like thunder. Thomas tried to regain his dignity. “Sir, this woman wants to see Luna. She’s not giving us any details.”Martins gave Alexa a once-over. There was this thing about her. His wolf was against her “The Luna’s not available,
