Thessara's pov"You're with child, Luna." The pack healer announced. Both my handmaids behind me gasped from surprise excitedly."Oh, Luna!" Akira cried, her hands clasped together. "This is wonderful news.""Congratulations Luna!" The other cried, her voice filled with so much excitement.My best friend, who had been holding my hand tightly through the pack healer’s examination, squeezed them tenderly, turning to me."This is indeed wonderful news Thessa, this will bring joy to the entire pack, even to the council members. I know how hard you've tried to win their hearts..”I brought both my hands down to my stomach gently and placed them quietly on the area where my baby now grows in, and with tears rushing to the margin of my eyes, I let out a shaking laugh."Indeed ... .Eira” My heart moulded against my breast with excitement, as I lifted my head into a grin."I can hardly wait to tell the Alpha. He'll be so happy. He's always wanted a cub of our own." I pressed my hands deeper i

Thessara's PovI was pushed up immediately by two knights while I felt their claws digging into my shoulders, as they held me up.“Remove her fangs,” one of the council members commanded.My eyes widened, in terror as I crashed against the knights . “No….no, please! Don’t do this, I beg you!” I screamed, flailing against the knights. “I have done nothing to deserve this! I swear on the Moon, I am innocent! I never harmed Asher, I'd never….”“Silence!” an elder’s staff hit the floor. “Not another word from you, traitor.”“But I'm your Luna!” I shouted, trembling. “I’m you Luna! you can not do this to me.” Growls rolled through the crowd, drowning my voice, as someone shouted “Kill her!” “kill the traitor!” another howled. Then immediately the whole hall rose against me howling in disapproval.Another knight came before me, his hands priming my jaw open, before his claws digged into my cheeks. Pain traveled through me as my fangs were torn out, blood flooding my mouth. I screamed, fro

POV - Thessara*I looked at my hands, they were human hands, it was soft and pale and wrong. These were not mine. My hands had claws. They could tear through steel, these weak things belonged to someone else."Lyria," I said quietly. I called for my spirit wolf like I had done for centuries. "Lyria, where are you?" There was silence. Complete silence where she should be. The connection that had been my lifeline was gone. It was cut off like it never existed.I put my palms to my temples. I tried to reach deeper. Past human thoughts. Past the memories of this body called Claire. "Please. I know you are there." But she was not there. The space where my wolf lived was empty. It was hollow. It was a wound that would not stop bleeding.I got to my feet. The movement felt clumsy. This human body was so weak. So breakable. I closed my eyes. I reached for the feeling of shifting. Bones are getting longer. Muscles getting bigger. The beautiful pain of transformation. Nothing happened.I tried

POV - Thessara*I stood before the mirror, in Claire's apartment. Practicing her smile, the one that was soft, the one that was sharp like mine. My reflection looked wrong, it was like wearing someone else's skin."You tilt your head when you laugh," Kieran said. From the doorway. His voice was quiet. "Claire always tilted her head."I tried it. The head tilted. It felt unnatural. Everything about being human felt unnatural."Better," he said. But his eyes were cold. Like he was studying me. A puzzle he couldn't solve.Today was my first day back. At Maplewood General Hospital. Where Claire worked as a nurse. Where everyone would expect me. To be her.The drive to the hospital was silent. Kieran drove. I watched the trees. Flying past the window. In my real body. I could run faster than this car. Now I was trapped. In metal and glass. Like a caged animal.The hospital smelled wrong. Too clean. Too sterile. It covered up. The scent of fear. Of death. Of secrets. My enhanced senses. Eve

**Thessara's POV**"You must be Claire." I looked up from my chart, a man with kind brown eyes smiled at me. He had an easy, warm face."I'm Simon, Dr. Simon Barrett. I just moved here from Seattle." He stuck out his hand. "Heard great things about your work."His handshake was firm, it felt normal, it wasn't like the shock I got when Kieran touched me."Nice to meet you," I said in a low tone, though I don't know if I would have reacted back to him."Want to grab coffee later? I'd love to hear about your recovery. From the accident, I mean."I blinked. "You don't have to—""I want to. New place and all. Could use a friendly face."Simon showed up everywhere that morning. He helped me start an IV on a tough patient. He took over when Mrs. Peterson got cranky about her medications. He even brought me coffee. Good coffee."You really don't need to do this," I told him."I know. But you look tired. Let someone help."It was nice. Simon gave me everything I wanted from Kieran. Attention.
