Asteria D´AngeloZoe picked me up and she parked near the house where the party was being hosted. The blasting music and people walking around were clear indicators that we were in the correct location.It was about average to have a party like this organized by the school warriors. They were the handsome, popular, manwhore of campus. Their parties were popular and usually highly attended, and this was no exception.Zoe laced her arm with mine, and with a steady step, we made our way to the house. Zoe opened the door, and she scanned the cramped place. Where a living room was supposed to be, there was a space with a DJ serving as entertainment, and the empty area was the dance floor. Around the kitchen was a bar set up, with all sorts of drinks, legal and illegal, to make sure, as werewolves, we had high tolerance for human liquor; thus, those were the legal drinks, but we were not old enough to be able to drink the werewolf stuff.In the back was a pool, and people were jumping into

Asteria D´AngeloMy head lulled, and I cursed the day I thought Mason could be a potential partner. Deep down, I knew he was just after me because of my status. He doesn´t care about me, and the main proof of that is that he is just not stopping, not caring a fuck about me not being willing to do this.I know about the prophecies Grandpa Maurice wrote about us. I am the Priestess. I am the one who can communicate directly with our goddess. I am a healer by nature, and I will have to fulfill our goddess´s special mission when the time comes.I don´t know yet, but it will all be revealed when the time comes. I closed my eyes and, mustering all my energy, I mumbled, “No...” I couldn´t say more, but I spent my energy saying that simple word. Two fucking letters, that meant I didn´t want this, I did´t agree to this. It was a weak silent stand i was making, and I prayed for our Goddess to make hims stop.He must realize that Zoe, his cosuin is my friend, that she will be pissed. Where is Zo

Asteria D´AngeloMy body went blank, as if I checked out and could not return. I wanted to come back. I heard voices and noises, I felt needles and everything in between. But I couldn´t move, I couldn’t open my eyes.I heard how Maddox and Zoe told my brother a story that didn´t line up, and my heart squeezed at the realization that my best friend, Zoe, was covering up for his cousin and not really angry about what he wanted to do to me.It was as if my soul could see everything like a movie playing on a megascreen. And when I got to the hospital, everything was a blur: a very invasive test, more needles, more meds. Voices mumbling, sobs... It was overwhelming and confusing.Then a void sucked me in. Am I dying? I am too young to die. I know I have a mission. Grandpa Maurice saw it, but this can´t be it. I hope it isn´t.Darkness consumed the helplessness of the entire situation. I wanted to scream, to fight back. I wanted to yell the truth to everyone, to confront Zoe and Maddox. Wha

Zane“Zane, do you know what a Priestess is?” she asked me. I had no idea. I was born, thrown into the human world, raised as a monster, and almost became one.“A what?” I had no idea what she was talking about. I was confused, mainly because I had no idea what a priestess had to do with anything.“A Priestess... that´s what I am...” She said, and I inhaled sharply, that in the human realm, people dedicated to religious practices, the leaders of religion, and some never took a partner... Was this her case? “You seem confused,” she said, and I nodded.“I was raised among humans in a lab... I am afraid I am not well-versed in whatever you are trying to tell me.” I said, a bit frustrated. I hated feeling dumb.“Alright, I will start from the beginning,” she said, and I nodded. As werewolves and Lycans, we believe in the Moon Goddess; she is our Goddess, creator, and guide. She gave us our mates, our perfect partners. A mate is said to be the same soul residing in two bodies.” She said, a

Elisa D´AngeloAsteria finally left the hospital, and Mom was elated, for like five minutes, as soon as Asteria told her that she has to leave with Zane on a mission, Mom blew a gasket, and Dad grunted becuase he hates being in the middle.Being the Princess born in the middle, between Angie and her tantrums, and Asteria and her rebellious streak, makes me the quiet one, who is just eating popcorn while the drama unravels. Angie has been quieter and is getting ready for the Moon Ball on the next full moon in three weeks. She is determined to become Roger´s mate, even when the Goddess doesn´t give them her blessing.Asteria, on the other hand, is adamant about doing whatever crazy shit she gets into her head. Mom is going crazy, saying that she is not old enough to go alone on a mission with a guy who can turn into a killing machine in the blink of an eye. Mom is so upset that she doesn´t care that the guy is standing beside Asteria.They look cute together, and Asteria assures my moth
