Alone

Maggie“Dismissed!” Marion says with finality.The resulting disbursal of the crowd is almost hypnotizing, with everyone stepping off quickly in different directions—I assume to their assignments—without another word.I hear the unmistakable deep shrill of Camila’s voice calling for Belinda, who barely has time to whisper goodbye to me before hurrying off, dragging the rollable bin of dirty tin dishes with her.And now, I find myself alone.Though I’m glad to be free of Marion’s presence, I’d thought she’d be leading me to the General’s wife for my assignment. But she doesn’t return, and I wait for a few beats before I realize that I’m on my own in this immense house.“I’ll try the parlor,” I whisper to myself, and my small voice echoes in the now-empty room.But I can’t be sure I remember where it was. Upstairs—was it one floor or two from here? All I can do is pray to the Goddess that something looks familiar once I get up there.At least I have food in my belly. I’m feeling energet

Battle for the Village

Oscar‘He’s getting brave, coming into our towns to attack,’ I tell Simon in the mind-link.We’re in wolf form for faster travel now that Assanan is actively attacking one of our settlements. We need to stop him now with every warrior we can spare. We’ll worry about supplies later, which have been dispatched in wagons behind us.‘More like foolish,’ he answers. ‘It’s one thing to hit our infrastructure. But attacking a town that’s ruled by Alpha King Cassian means Assanan has either lost his mind or has a death wish.’I don’t answer because I fear my own thoughts. Something about this doesn’t seem right to me. Assanan has always been calculating in his attacks. If he’s moving in like this, he must have some kind of new weapon that we don’t have.And I don’t even want to know what that is.We hear the fighting before we arrive, and it sounds brutal. We’re second to arrive after a regiment that was stationed nearby, so they’ve been trying to ward off the attack along with those town cit

Thirst

MaggieIt’s pitch black in here, without even the sliver of a window like I had back in my room. I blink into the darkness, wishing I was older and had my wolf so I could shift and see something... anything.The musty smell is worse with the door shut. I suppose I should be thankful that opening the door earlier had let in a little fresh air from the hallway, or it would be even harder to breathe.I raise my arms and wrap them around myself, shivering. My bottom aches from where I landed on the concrete floor, but I don’t think it’s anything more than a bruise.So, I decide I need to move, even though it’s so dark in here. My other senses seem to be well-tuned since I can’t see, and I feel a hint warmer air coming from the direction of the door—I think.And once I give it more time, my eyes adjust enough to notice the tiny, almost invisible, sliver of light coming from the top and bottom of the door in the exact position I expected it to be in.I push myself up and walk over, turning

Battle Wounds

Oscar“Healer!” I’m screaming it out loud now, having shifted so I can press my hands against Simon’s neck to stop the bleeding. Simon isn’t dead yet, or he would have shifted back. And I can tell that the bite would have been instantly fatal if it were just a couple of inches to the right.It looks like Simon was able to move just in time.There still aren’t any healers here on the battlefield, but I hope my call draws over someone more experienced with first aid than me.I hadn’t realized it would call in the Alpha King himself. He, too, has already shifted back to human form, and his assistant, who had followed the king in wolf form, lays down his pack of supplies at his feet.“Move,” Cassian orders in his Alpha voice, and I do so even though I’m loath to let go of my friend.But Cassian takes over as soon as my hand lifts, firmly holding in the bleeding. He hurriedly takes bandages and antiseptic out of the pack and applies them expertly to the wound.‘Don’t shift,’ he orders Simo

Freedom... Sort Of

MaggieI have no idea how long I’ve been here. It’s cold. It’s dark. Though I have been getting used to the light more with the small crack in the door, so at least it’s not pitch darkness.The metal chair is just as cold as the air in here, but at least it’s better than sitting on the floor.In the silence of this room, my stomach growls sound like roars echoing off the walls. My throat, dry and parched, screams for water... even just a single drop.And then I hear it... footsteps, heavy and solid, like a man’s.He’s coming this way.I jump up, the room spinning a little with the sudden movement and my lack of food and water, but I use what strength I have to pull the chair back from the door. I hope it’s Nelson, coming to take me to get something to eat and drink, or to at least bring it to me.The metal door creeks open, and I have to cover my eyes against the blinding light that spills in.“Follow me,” the man commands, and I’m more than happy to obey, even though I can barely see

After Midnight

MaggieAbout Two Years Later“Quit wasting time,” Mrs. Oaktree says. “Get on with it,” she adds before turning to her husband. “I swear, we need a new batch of servants with the ones we have being so incompetent.”I don’t stick around to hear their argument. “Yes, ma’am,” I answer, lowering my head and stepping out of the room.My knuckles turn white from how hard I grip the cleaning supplies cart as I push it toward the next room. I have four more parlors to clean before I can go back to my room: dusting top to bottom, scrubbing floors, polishing anything that shines.I’ve never complained about the work in the time I’ve been here... however long that has been. I don’t dare sneak a peek at the General’s calendar in his desk drawer for fear that someone will catch me in the act.It doesn’t matter anyway. I’m here for a lifetime, and I just have to make the most of it so that my family is safe.Still, it doesn’t stop me from being angry inside. I’ve never given that woman any reason to

Promises

Oscar“Been a while since we’ve been here,” I tell Simon and Hank as we walk toward the training grounds.“No kidding,” Hank agrees. “It’s been more like real battles are becoming the training, we’ve had so many.”“That would be fine with me if innocent civilians weren’t involved,” Simon adds. “The more we cut down Assanan’s army, the better. But he’s attacking cities and harming our people.”“I know.” I take a deep breath and let it out slowly. “But I worry for his civilians, too.”Hank turns to me, his eyes narrowed in confusion. “What do you mean?’Simon shoots me a similar look.“I mean that the more of his soldiers we kill, the deeper he reaches into his citizenry for more fighters,” I explain. “You’ve noticed that a good bulk of them aren’t well trained. I’m sure his true warriors are just as seasoned as we are. Some of them must be simple farmers or merchants forced to fight. And I fear something else is wrong right now.”“You may be right,” Simon says, turning to Hank. “He’s a

The Shift

MaggieIn our kingdom, the custom is to have the parent of the same sex prepare the teenager for the first time they shift. Small talks with my mother about this day have peppered my life. She would share tidbits here and there, answer my questions, provide small tips that she wasn’t sure I’d even remember when I turned eighteen.The true preparation traditionally begins on one’s seventeenth birthday and continues throughout the year. Mothers advise their daughters, particularly on matters that are relevant to the female anatomy during the shift, and fathers assist their sons in a similar way.But I haven’t seen my mother since I was sixteen. Precious time was lost when I should have been preparing for this moment.And since I don’t have all the answers, the shift hits me hard.Because I panic.My parents aren’t here. Matthew and my other brothers aren’t here. I’m alone, and if something goes wrong with the shift, I don’t know what will happen.I’ve never witnessed a shift where anyth

Leaving

MaggieI need more control over Rhia.If there’s one thing I remember from Mother’s sparce lessons about shifting over the years, it’s that the more I do it, the better I’ll get at controlling her.So, when a couple of hours pass, and it becomes clear that no one is going to come for me soon, I take the time to practice.I don’t want to ruin the last dress I have, so unfortunately, I need to take it off before shifting again. It makes me nervous, because the General could walk in at any moment. But maybe I could just shift quickly in that case, and he won’t see anything.The second shift isn’t as startling as the first. All my body parts go smoothly into place, and Rhia seems calm.Then again, there’s no one here threatening her, and this time, I’m expecting the shift. Things may have been fine the first time around, too, had I known what day it was in advance.Maybe they shouldn’t keep their calendars locked up around here.The physical act of shifting back and forth feels natural no

She's Out There

Oscar“Earth to Oscar.”Shaking my head to get myself out of my stupor, I turn to Simon. “Sorry. What?”He lets out a hearty chuckle, turning away from the wooden frame in front of him, the tool shed I’m supposed to be helping him build. “I was asking if you thought we had this level. But damn, you sure went away there for a bit. What’s got you in dreamland? Finally meet a woman?”He takes a couple of quick steps back like he expects me to punch him or something, but I have no intention of doing that. He’s on the right track, after all.“I wish,” I say instead. “I mean, not yet. But something is... different.”“You feel a mate bond?” he asks, now leaning cross-handed on a wooden post, intrigued.“I want to say yes, but I can’t be sure,” I admit. “I feel like something changed the other day. And now, it seems more intense.”“Hmm.” He rubs his chin thoughtfully. “I know what you mean. I didn’t realize it then, but I did have some feelings before I met Louise.”That gets my attention. “Y
