“Okay guys, I think that’s enough for now.” Nathan’s voice joined us as I just let one of the kids score another goal in the makeshift goal post we had created.The kids groaned in protest.“The hunt is about to begin so you guys need to make yourselves scarce.” He spoke Lessing up the hair of the closest boys.They grumbled and started walking away.One of the little girls ran up to me before disappearing and wrapped her arms around me.“That was so fun, Luna.”I was taken aback by the action but I placed my hands around her as well.She pulled away and ran off, my eyes remained on her as she disappeared.“Piper?” Nathan asked when he saw I was still in the same position.I smiled, a sort of melancholy taking over.“I can’t remember the last time I received a hug.” I spoke.In order to receive a hug, I’d have to be around people who actually liked me.When I turned to Nathan, he was frowning slightly.I pushed back the thing that felt lodged in my throat and turned to face him, holdi

When I got back to the clearing, I found everyone waiting for me.The men and women participating in the hunt were all gathered, exited chattering and laughter spreading amongst them.Over to the left, a table was set up with all the elders and leaders standing by it, waiting for me no doubt.Torches were lit and the feast for after was already set up. The way it was every year.I looked for Piper and saw her standing aside from the table. Fiero and Rian on either side of her.I thought about the conversation I had just had with Landon.There had always been an order to things here. An order I was meant to uphold, to keep going. One I was born to preserve.But Piper’s arrival had changed everything. Our enemy had been put into question. Everything I knew had been too.All these people had a reason to hate the Diamantes and the Eclipse pack but all those reasons didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things if they had all been lies. I didn’t know how. But I knew Landon was right about o

With force, I dug the rock into my hand. I let out a grunt of pain as I saw blood appear. “What are you doing?” Rian demanded. I ignored him and looked up to see the dark one behind him looking hungrier than ever. That’s right, lose control. I thought. When I was sure it’s eyes were on me and me alone, I begun to run. I soared a look behind me and saw it chasing me. “Piper!” Fiero yelled but I didn’t stop, pushing past people making my way to the woods. The dark ones already attacking others all stopped once they got a whiff of me and followed the scent of my blood. I pumped my legs harder as I kept going but I knew they were gaining on me. It’s only when I was sure that most of them had followed me that I shifted. My body grew warm, my skin replaced by fur and now I was running on four limbs. I could feel dozens, if not more of limbs pounding against the ground behind me. I heard yells I’m the distance and tried not to stop when I saw devoured bodies of wolves on the grou

This time when I woke up, I was alone in bed. But not in the room.I turned and saw Landon’s curly head of dark hair bent over as he sat on a chair besides my bed.Well, leaning over slightly and snoring like a lawn mower was the better description.I pushed myself into a sitting position and smiled.“You are the worst security guard ever.” I spoke.Landon lost his balance, catching himself right on time to not hit the ground.I tried not to laugh as he wrestled to pull himself back onto the chair like his life depended on it.When he was finally stable, he looked up at me, a slightly bewildered look on his face.I grinned. “Hi there.”His face melted into one of relief as he fully righted himself up.“Haha.” He spoke as he scooted closer. “You know, it might seem funny now but you don’t get to laugh about scaring me half to death.”I let out a light chuckle, my stomach still aching slightly.I looked around the room feeling like I was seeing Thane’s room for the first time. There wer

“Order!” Lyra snapped as she stepped foot in front of everyone.Silence spread across the room as I walked up to the podium.Usually when I came up here, I tried to put on a mask of indifference.Ever since I had won the alpha challenge, I bore the title with the respect it deserved. I constantly tried to live up to it. I constantly tried to be the alpha my parents had wanted to be. The one Jaimie had been.But the truth was I wasn’t anything like them. I ruled with an iron fist. I didn’t allow room for questions and I hadn’t realised just how much that part of me had been influenced by King Reagan. He’s the one who had moulded me, shaped me into becoming so much like him.But in doing so, I had become something of a dictator. Not allowing your people to ask questions especially about how you ruled them left an opportunity to tell them how they deserved to be ruled.And where had that gotten us? Buried in secrets none of us could even tell we’re secrets.I looked around at my council.
