ETHAN “Well, this is rough,” Gail utters beside me. “Like don't we have enough on our plates? Now Lance is onto all of us.” “It might not be true.” I sigh. “What? That Lance is a fucking terrorist?” He snorts. “I know that he is your stepsister's biological father, but even she can't deny that the man is the literal devil himself.” “Stop, for Maya's sake, please stop.” I urge him. I would be lying to myself if I say that I don't know what the end of the investigation will be, that's if Alpha Lance doesn't claim the death soon. He will be guilty either way. I crunch my nose as I walk back to the car. Gail still needs to drive me back home. He gets into the car and turns on the engine, before easing the car into the deserted road. “We should meet up to practice tomorrow. Our combat must be good, we might be going to war soon.” Gail says. “Gail, I doubt that we are going to war.” I chuckle.“Well, my Uncle doesn't think so.” Gail shakes his head. The rest of the drive is silen

ETHAN My heart breaks when I see Maya drop her head into her hands. “I knew it. My mother hates me.”I immediately through away the oath I made to myself about staying away from her, and I quickly put my hand around her shoulder. “Don't say that, your mother loves you.” “No, she doesn't! I have been calling her everyday since she left, but not once has she picked up! She hates me because my father made us run away! She has abandoned me!” I sigh and drop my gaze. I want to fiercely defend Sarah, and say that perhaps she was busy and couldn't speak to her daughter, but I know that it's a lie. My father is the beta, he has more responsibilities during this mission than Sarah, but he always takes out the time to call me(I don't even need to call him). My father always makes sure to check in with me everyday to confirm that everything is well with Maya and I, so what's Sarah's excuse? I inhale as I get up to my feet. I leave her in the living room, and walk into the garage. I shut

MAYA His strong hands hold me in place while he leans in and gives me a kiss. I have been kissed before, as I have had my own share of boyfriends, but this is my first kiss in years, and first in storm ridge. I wouldn't have ever thought it would be with my own stepbrother. I know that what I am doing is an abomination that could make the moon goddess wipe out an entire pack, but I don't care anymore.His warm lips melt me, and mine parts to receive him. My wolf stirs with encouragement. she likes this too..I moan as I return his kiss with vigor. He is like water, and I am dying of thirst. “We shouldn't be doing this,” I whine. “I know,” he cups my breasts and gently squeezes. “But don't stop, asshole.” I threaten him. “I won't,” he kisses my neck with a short laugh. He is fierce with his skills, but he still manages to drop me gently against the couch, and starts to undo the button of my shirt. I pull at the buckle of his belt. My face feels so hot, I don't even know wha

ETHAN I can't sleep the entire night because I keep thinking about Maya and what I did to her. She wanted it as much as I did, but that just tells me that we both have been cursed by a malicious spirit. My father is going to kill me for this. I get up very early, and I make sure to make a big breakfast for both of us. It's like some form of apology for my behavior. I hear her coming downstairs, and my throat feels constricted, I can't even bring myself to look at her face. “Woah, you are cooking breakfast like the second time in a roll. Are you trying to poison me or something?” She jokes as she sits down. “Good morning, Maya.” I say. It feels weird calling her by her given name. I'm used to calling her little monkey, but I don't want to do that right now. She looks like she is about to burst into tears now, like my coldness has brought back memories of what happened last night. “I don't like the way you just said my name.” She clasp her hands under the table. “I'm sorry, M

MAYA I soon realize why Alpha Lance has sent for me. Ethan didn't tell me, my mum didn't call to tell me, I found out on the internet. Alpha Ray was a feared man, but my father killed him like a common wild pig in the forest and hung his body on a tree after taking out his eyes. My fingers are numb as I stare at the blurry picture of the body on the tree. My father did this? He is a strict Alpha, he is feared by his pack members, but he loved me. I saw him slap my mother once when I was like thirteen. They were in the kitchen, arguing under their breath, standing chest to chest. Then he slapped her so hard that her eyes widened with fright, and her lip had blood on them. I was so shocked that I went to my room and my mother came to see me afterwards. The injury on her lip was covered in multiple layers of red lipstick, and she told me that he didn't slap her, he only affectionately touched her face. She gaslighted me, told me that I wasn't supposed to understand because I wa

MAYA Of all the people that Miss Waters could pick. How am I going to concentrate when its freaking Cole? He is shirtless, and his abs look like they were chiseled by a master sculpture. He is glistening with sweat, and his chest moves as he breathes heavily from his workout. “Dear moon goddess, please help me.” I murmur under my breath. “Keisha.” Cole nods at Miss Waters. “Hello, Cole.” She returns his acknowledgement. A student is on a first name basis with a member of the school supernatural committee. I guess that's one of the perks of being the youngest Alpha ever. “Miss Smith is your student.” She gestures to me. “You have two weeks, make sure you train her excellently.” “I will do my best.” He says. Miss Waters turns to me, as if to say ‘be good’ with her eyes, then she leaves me with Cole. Cole draws closer, and his scent feels my nostrils. Gosh, it's so intoxicating. It only happens to me when I'm around Cole or Ethan…“Take off your jacket, princess.” “No.” I an

MAYA My hand goes straight to my neck to hide the mark that he has seen, but it's too late. It's such a small mark, not fully made, so how did he even notice it so quickly? He sees the change in my expression, so he stands up straight and drops his hands to his sides. “Are you okay?” He takes a step towards me, but I take two back. “Have you found your mate, Maya? There is nothing to be shy about.” He tells me. “I'm not shy.” I retort. “Then tell me who he is.” “None of your business,” I hiss. “Fair enough.” He shrugs. “Maybe he should have concentrated on making your combat skills better, instead of marking you at such a young age–”“I can't do this.” I grab my stuff from the ground, to his surprise. “Maya, we aren't done.” “I have a headache.” I lie. “You won't tell Miss Waters that I left early, will you? I will text you on insta for our next meeting! Bye!” I run off before he could stop me. I see him from the tail of my eyes. His hands are akimbo, he doesn't even mak

ETHAN My friends and I step out of the school gym, glistening with sweat and male scent. The girls around nudge their friends and turn red in the face. The boys chuckle with encouragement. We are kind of used to things like this. “Hey, Ethan, are you going to be attending Lucas' party today?” “It's starting at ten o'clock at night, so no. I have to watch my sister.” The boys look at each other, before falling over with laughter. I just ignore them and walk straight to the parking lot. “Not to be mean, Ethan, but I would rather eat glass than to babysit my sister!” Luca sticks out his tongue in disgust. “Well, my dad and her mum are on a mission, and I have to take care of her. She is just a kid.” “A kid?” Ryan laughs. “Isn't she like sixteen?!” “I heard that she gets into trouble a lot too.” “She has a nice figure too.” My blood curdles with suppressed rage. I flex my hands, before grabbing my car key from my pocket. “Quit it, guys.” “Yeah, quit it.” Lucas says. “Didn't

MAYA I knew from even last night that school was going to be a huge mess for me today, but nothing prepares me for what I meet next. Getting to school, I see that an emergency meeting is being held by the supernatural faculty and the parents, and I have been summoned. The old library is the only building large enough to take hundreds of parents, and Miss Waters has sent for me. I feel like bursting into tears because of how much I hate my life right now, but I know that I have to go. I sigh with relief when I see Ethan waiting for me outside my class. “Do you think that I am going to get kicked out of moonrise academy?” I wonder. “No, monkey, they wouldn't dare.” He puts his hand on my shoulder. “You have done nothing wrong, and you aren't even an official member of his pack anymore. His crimes have nothing to do with you.” I nod, as if trying to convince myself to believe what he has said. I see many of the parents standing around the closet we get to the supernatural librar

MAYA You see, there is a myth in the supernatural community that I have never believed until now. They used to say that if someone's wolf has been dominant for long, they can be triggered by great fear, or a highly stressful situation. I have heard my mother speak about it a few times, but she never subjected me to the experiment. To her, it wasn't worth the trouble. She believed that my wolf would manifest whenever she wanted to, and it was only until recently that she started to get worried about it. And out of all the days my wolf could choose, today? Right in the middle of an important class? Normally, shifting happens in the midnight of the full moon, I don't understand why I am experiencing this on a random late morning. I want to tell myself that I'm just being paranoid and maybe I just have a stomach bug, but I've had a bug before and it didn't feel half as hellish as this. I go out to the bathroom and I check all the stalls to make sure that I am all by myself. Then I
