Eva stopped as she was passing by the training field to the Granny’s house, where everyone—every able adult—was practicing hand-to-hand combat. No one was shifting, at least not fully. A woman flipped a man; she winced a little as he landed on his back with a thud, sand cushioning the blow, splattering around. Briefly, he managed to overpower her, but her last move was so swift to catch that the man ended up on his knees with a blade at his throat.Eva blinked in surprise at the blade.“Now! Everyone, see that,” Sebastian called out from behind the watching crowd, rolling his sleeves and leaning on the iron ring enclosure that surrounded the training area, his eyes fixed on everyone’s movement. “Now move in pairs and practice.” He clapped. “Come on!”At his command, everyone did as he said. They all made their own circles, and everyone had a blade in their hands.“Efficient, isn’t it?” Maya said, coming up behind her.“I didn’t know they trained like this. So far, I just saw them shif

Everything hurt; who knew training was so hard. Eva had run miles, but this was different—even being blocked by one single force would send her skidding back. She had no muscle strength to block even the lowest Beta in the pack.“I am made for paperwork,” Eva’s words muffled in the pillow. She was bruised and battered. After half a month of working out, Sebastian had decided for her to train with others. All her excitement was gone after spending an hour there, and now another month had passed with it. She still felt her bones tired and her body hurting in all kinds of places.“It’s fine,” though Sebastian’s words were reassuring, Eva felt far from it.“If you don’t need to win, you know enough to find your way out of trouble,” Sebastian said. Eva pressed her lips into a thin line and raised her head from the pillow, staring at Sebastian, impatient. He chuckled at her look and kneeled at her side of the bed. The light in his eyes danced with patience and amusement.“It’s been only two

I still remember the smell of blood and smoke in the air the day they came, and it has never quite left me. Sometimes I wake up and still think that everything I’ve managed to carve my life into will be taken away from me.— Bash’s Journal—“Me?”“Yes, you. You are different. Normally, from the Alpha family, only Alphas interact the most,” Maya said as Eva followed her. They entered her office and settled while Maya started scanning through the papers.“Alpha’s family—” Eva began in confusion, then stopped. “Oh.” She realized what it meant. Maya raised an inquisitive brow at her. Eva just shrugged in response.“It seems like you are still not used to this place,” Maya noted.“I am not used to myself,” Eva clarified.“I know these past few months have been…” Maya seemed to search for a word.“Fucked up,” Eva said bluntly. Maya blinked at her, clearly not expecting it.“You don’t like it here,” Maya misunderstood.“I love it here, more than I care to admit,” Eva found herself reassurin

Fire

Sebastian and Eva ran out of the porch to look down at the valley, the smell of smoke churning in the pit of Eva’s stomach. Horrified, she whipped her head as Sebastian’s eyes turned red and the red wolf appeared beside him. Both, human and wolf, ran without a single thought towards the fire that started to take over the village.Eva followed after him without thought, her heart in her mouth. The screams got closer as they ran down the dirt road.“Eva, you should go back!” Bash yelled.“No!” Eva shot back, covering her nose so she wouldn’t inhale the smoke. Someone rushed past them as they took a turn into the fields and saw everyone running. Bash grabbed the figure—the boy was around thirteen years old, his eyes wide and face covered in ashes.“Alpha!” he gasped.“What happened?” Sebastian demanded.The boy looked back. People behind them were running with buckets of water to fight the fire, and when a truck came behind them with a tank, two men jumped out and pulled a long pipe. Eva

For a second Henry narrowed his eyes. Eva composed her face, not showing her fear on the surface.“You have changed.”Eva didn’t respond. Lily struggled in his hand, clenching her tiny fists. The flare of anger surprised her.“Put her down,” she glared. “I agree to come with you.”“You don’t think I saw the wolf disappear? That demon wolf will come soon enough.”“Then if you want to live, you should put her down and move fast,” Eva said.Henry’s hand moved to the little wolf’s neck. “Are you threatening me?”“How can I? You know more about the demon wolf than I do.”That was not true. Eva knew exactly what he was capable of. She just needed time—and for him to put Lily down. The brown of her eyes caught the red light behind Henry, and her heart eased a little. She showed him her hand.“I promise, this time I will come. And if you have me, he will not do anything. Please put her down. She’s just a little girl,” she said, masking her relief at the presence behind Henry.“Alright.” He sm
