Chapter One: Is This It?

Chapter OneVaelora's POV The woods are bleeding again.I'm running- breathless and barefoot- beneath a blood-red moon, my lungs burning with each gasp. Shadows loom over the trees, whispering things I can't understand. My name. My end.Branches claw at my skin as if they know me. Like they want me to stay.Then I see it. Again.The wolf.Its golden, hollow eyes stare at me with disdain, fury swirling viciously in them. It's standing in the clearing like it's been waiting for me. Massive. Black as night. Its mouth part slowly and a sound escapes. A growl that splits my chest into two with fear.I freeze, my breath catching in my throat.My wolf stirs inside me- sudden, sharp, sickening. The pull is so strong I feel like I'm about to split apart by just standing there. I want to shift. I need to. But my body won't let me.It never does.I take a step back.“Please.” I whisper, falling to my knees. My throat tightens and claws start to form but get stuck mid-change. The pain intensif

Chapter Two: Dare To Dream

Chapter TwoVaelora's POV Micheal has been out since past 9am and all I've been able to do is suck around the house while limping on one foot.My phone has been buzzing with Ashton's calls since I woke up from sleep this morning yet, I've ignored everyone of it.He'd asked me out on a date last week but even though I knew I had no interest in going, I couldn't find it in me to say no.Not because I don't like him. I do. In fact, I like Ashton a lot but, he isn't what I've been looking for. At first, I thought he was the one and maybe I just needed a little time to figure out my feeling but with time, the disappointment I've faced for the past four years after 18th birthday, resurfaced.“Ouch!” I cry out as I step on a broken bottle, instantky pulling my bottom lip in between my teeth.My gaze settles on the floor and I roll my eyes, disgust crawling up my spine. The entire floor of the living room is littered with broken beer bottles, cigarettes and packs of used matches.It reeks of

Chapter Three: A Flicker Of Hope

Chapter ThreeVaelora's POV Maya paces round the room, shooting me another menacing glare before sighing.“Sometimes, I think there's something really wrong with you and it's not visible to the eyes.”I stay quiet, fiddling with the hem of one of the dresses on the floor. “How do you even explain all of this?” She questions and I look up at her.“It just happened, and I already told you that I'm fine. These are minor.” I point to the cut on my forearm, smoothening it.Her brows shoot up. “Seriously? You have cuts all over your body and you say they're just ‘minor’?!” I shrug, wondering why she's so concerned about the small, visible cuts on my body rather than focusing on the unhealed gash on my forehead that's now exposed.“Is this because of the party?” I glance at her.“No, but it's part of. I mean, you obviously won't be able to wear the dress.” I frown. “What do you mean?”She walks over to me, crouching down to the floor. She lifts my chin up with one finger.“You won't be a

Chapter Four: Unbelievable Reality

Chapter FourVaelora's POV The air is crisp and wet as Matt, Maya's brother, takes the turn that leads to what I assume is the packhouse of the NightMoor Pack.Maya cocks her head over her shoulder, giving me a curious, knowing glance. I ignore her and focus on the road, my body tingling with anxiety and a bit of excitement.“We're here.” Matt says and turns off the engine.I take in the environment, marvelling at the beauty that stands in front of me. The mansion is about seven feet tall and there's a huge, iron gate protecting it.The building resembles a cathedral with its long pillars and dark, brooding colors. The gate is tall and large, enough to swallow the house whole.I step out of the car, pressing my clutch against my body as Maya comes to stand beside me.“It's so beautiful.” She whispers and I nod, agreeing with her.“Let's go in.” Matt says, walking up to the gate.We follow him and wait behind as he shows our ID to the security before letting us in.A gasp catches in m
