A Life Full of ShadowsLena’s POV“Lena, get up!” A quick blast of cold water splashed in my face and I blinked and felt a shiver of the coldness going through my bones. My attention had caught who it was. I didn’t need to open my eyes to recognize that sharp voice. It was my mother. Again.I moaned, and intended to roll over, but the blanket had been torn already off of me. There was a cold breeze coming through the window in the kitchen and I cowered.“Up. Now. You mustn't make me say so again,” she snapped her steps screeching along the walk.This was my every morning. My name is Lena Maren Wilder, and I live in a house where I am invisible unless there’s work to be done.I wanted to sleep longer. Last night’s pack patrol had run until nearly 4 a.m., and I was still aching from the run through the mountain woods. But none of that mattered to my mom. She said it didn’t matter if I was a shifter or not, I was still a girl, and a girl should not sleep past eight. She said I’d brought

Bruised, Not BrokenLena’s POV“Well,” someone said, in the hall, as though they had seen a ghost appear, "Look who has come.”I kept my eyes forward. I’d learned not to respond not because I was weak, but because it gave them power. My silence was my shield.

It is the same-you know, the same whispers, the same laughter behind my back. I was sick of faking being okay though faking it just allowed them to treat it like they could keep doing as they wish. So it was easier to cry behind the hall.“Little Luna, why are you rushing away?" Rigg Torres came between me and put himself in front of me. His conceited face smiled in scornful exultation.“What is it you want?” I said flatly, not bothering to fake patience.I could not stand his antics. I was already late to attend the class and the last thing I wanted was to go through another waste of time meeting

The Night of the Red MoonLena’s POVThis evening it was going to happen. The one night I had been waiting for as far back as anyone could remember.The Red Moon was heavy in the sky, a dull, and silvery moon, for now but I knew it wouldn’t stay that way. Soon it would glow crimson, and everything would change.Maybe… so would I.I looked up in the mirror teasing out the silk red material of my dress. All the she-wolves that are un-mated in our pack wear red to pay their honour to the goddess and offer themselves to fate. It was our way of saying: Here I am. I'm ready.And I was. I had never ever been more all set.I dressed my hair down with my natural being a waterfall around my shoulders. A bit of makeup, just enough to make my dark eyes and deep red lips shine. Not for attention. Not for the boys in the pack. I did it for me. And for him, whoever he was.At one time, I believed it would be Kade.But after the past few weeks… after that kiss with Camilla, after that cruel dare. I d
