The wind blew past us as I sped in between the trees. I finally slowed down as I neared my cave. A few distances away, I stopped and changed, then led her there. I parted the vines and stepped in. Axton was sitting close to the fire, lost in thought. His eyes turned to us as we stepped in. His gaze moved from mine to Irene's in confusion.Irene pressed herself close to me as she stared at Axton, then at me and back.“Irene, this is Axton, a friend of mine," I introduced. “Axton, this is Irene, my little sister.Axton gave a small smile while Irene gave back a small wave.“I'll give you two some privacy," Axton said and hurried out.I walked towards the fireplace and sat down then gestured for Irene to sit close to me. I noticed her eyes roaming around the cave as she sat down next to me.“You live in a bear cave,” she muttered.I glanced at her then back to the fire. I didn't say anything. I nudged the coal with a stick in my hand to prompt more heat."What do you even eat on a daily

The night passed in fragments of restless dreams. I tossed beneath my blanket, drowsiness still clutching at my eyes. When I finally stirred awake, the fire had dimmed into glowing embers, painting the cave a faint red hue.I turned. Axton was still asleep on the mattress. His steady breathing filled the silence and for a moment I decided to watch him. He looked peaceful and somehow….. beautiful. His eyebrows furrowed and his lips parted slightly, they looked good, almost as if I could kiss it. I widened my eyes at the thoughts in my head. I tore my gaze away and immediately sat up, I shouldn't be thinking about him like this.I walked to the entrance of the cave, the vines were beginning to die, I'd have to replace them for the third time. The air outside was cold, mist curled at the mouth of the cave. I stepped out, hugging my arms around myself tightly. The memories of last night pressed on me like a weight.You should have let yourself drown, the darker part of me whispered. It w

The first one came fast, so fast. A flash of black fur and muscle tore through the air toward me, claws glinting like curved blades. I ducked and swung my claw upwards, slicing across his chest. The force sent him spinning into a tree, as dark red blood spilled from the wound.The others didn't flinch; they moved like a pack, synchronized and vicious. Axton leapt forward, sinking his teeth into the shoulders of the one with dreadlocks. The lycan roared and slammed him against the ground. The impact shook the soil beneath my paw.“Axton," I snarled and slammed into the lycan before he could strike again. We rolled across the earth, snapping, claws scraping. His breath was foul with blood and something darker: magic. I bit down on his arm, tearing through fur and flesh until I felt bone give way beneath my jaws. His scream of agony echoed through the trees.Another one lunged at me from behind, but Axton intercepted him, knocking him off balance. The forest became chaos, filled with howl

The fire crackled weakly nearby, its glow painting soft gold across her face. Her eyes began to drop, exhaustion finally taking its toll on her. I was careful not to shake so as not to stir her awake. Her breathing evened out after a while, soft and steady.For a moment all I could think of was how to improve myself, how to be worthy enough to be by her side, to protect her even when she was bigger and stronger than me. Somehow I was glad I took the bold step of leaving my pack. Now that I think of it, leaving my pack was something I never thought I'd ever do.I chuckled in anguish.They were so quick to push me away when things went south, forgetting how I risked my life in good, bad, or extreme weather conditions just to bring information to their plates. I grew up in Silver Crest and swore my life to the pack, but yet…yet! I guess the Moon Goddess knew that my fate wasn't in the pack, so she didn't place my mate there. If my mate were a fellow pack member, then I wouldn't have been
