A skunk

Victoria’s POV“Victoria,” he uttered gently, “you can’t keep it.” He smiled. “It’s a wild animal, not a pet.”I was busy petting an adorable baby beaver.But, Drystan, I really want him.“Come on, get up. We’re already late,” he said, taking the beaver from my hands and letting it go.Drystan, are you going to teach me how to fight tomorrow?“Victoria, you’re too young and…”I cut him off, glaring. If you say it’s because I’m a girl…“That’s not what I was going to say, Victoria. I was going to say you’re too... beautiful.”I grinned. My brother called me beautiful. Technically, he was my stepbrother, but still, he called me beautiful.I love that memory, even if it feels like it’s from another lifetime, bittersweet and distant.The forest was quiet, the kind that calmed your nerves, until a branch cracked. I couldn’t even enjoy a sunset by the riverbed without someone showing up.I’ve gotten good at fading into the background, staying unseen.The guy walked into view, limping, blood

You're my sister

Four years ago…Drystan fastened the necklace around my neck, his fingers dwelling just a little longer than necessary.He gently lifted my chin and looked into my eyes. “This circle? That’s us, Victoria.I didn’t wait. I kissed him, and he met me halfway, his hand finding my waist as he kissed me back, more deeply this time.When I finally pulled away, breathless, my arms wrapped around his neck without thinking.“Just wanted to be sure you felt the same,” he said softly.“This is wrong, isn’t it?” I spoke softly, even though it didn’t feel wrong at all.“Wrong?” I repeated, pulling back a little.“You’re my sister, Victoria.”“Stepsister,” I corrected him. “We’re not related by blood, Drystan.”He let out a sigh. “You know this means we’ll have to fight for us, right? Everyone will be against us. Especially our parents. My dad…”“Drystan,” I cut him off, my voice composed. “Kiss me.”A small smile appeared on his lips. “You’re so beautiful.” His kiss was gentle, almost hesitant, but

Taking orders from a woman...

I jumped the fence just in time to brush my teeth and pull on the gray uniform. Life couldn’t get any more boring. Then the yells began. I grinned and gave Kara a quick wink.We got breakfast and took our usual seats. Sienna was there, scratching at her blisters until her skin looked raw.I dumped my tray and walked past her table. I stopped, then turned around."Try me again, and you won’t wake up." I flashed teeth. "Sweet dreams."Anger burned under my skin, hot and restless. I had nowhere to put it.Kara smirked as she watched Sienna scratch herself.Good. She deserved it, especially with that pretty face of hers.Only six more months and I’d be free. But then what?"Victoria," Kara cut in, "where the hell have you been?"I listed off the day’s crap, classes, drills, and all the academy’s boring routines."Victoria?" Kara’s tone lowered. "You kissed him?""Yeah. And…""You like him?" She sounded almost wounded."Kara, we’ve talked about this." I sighed. "I like guys. What we have i

Not for revenge

"You did what?" Kara’s eyes locked onto me, wide with disbelief."Come on, Kara, you knew I would," I shot back. I held his penis in my hand.We both burst out laughing."Well, go on then, how does it feel?" she asked, grinning."Big. Like, how the hell is that supposed to fit in my…"Kara just stared, deadpan. "Seriously, are you actually going to do it?""I’m torn. Stay loyal to Drystan, or give in to this mysterious guy who’s, you know, ridiculously hot."We were sitting at the dining table when the girl at the next table started telling her story."He’s ruthless, took down our pack in an hour. Sent some of us to the academy. He’s the king of four packs, and he’s not stopping there. But damn, he’s hot. And strong. Alpha Drystan’s powerful, though, already a force not to reckon with.""Did she just say Drystan?" I nearly spit out my juice. I strode over and dropped into the chair across from her. She flinched."Tell me where this Alpha lives," I demanded."Behind the twin mountains,

We have a mole

Thane’s POVGas station near the border with PolandA car finally stopped and gave me a ride to the nearest gas station. I took the phone from the clerk and made the call. “Get your ass here and pick me up. Now.”As I waited for them to show up, I kept thinking about Victoria. I shouldn’t have left her. Her scent continued to linger on me. I wanted her. I’d fallen for her, but I couldn’t say it out loud. Her lips, her caress, what was wrong with me?I didn’t care. I’d never met anyone like her. She was pure fire, but she couldn’t let go of the past. An SUV pulled up in front of me.“Alpha Thane, we’ve been searching everywhere for you.”“Oh, really?” I said, climbing in. “Cadmus, my brother, I was being hunted by a pack of killers. Where the hell were you looking?”“Thane, I thought you were hurt,” Cadmus said.“I was. Nearly died. But my angel saved me,” I replied.“An angel? Okay…”“You got a change of clothes for me?” I asked.“Yeah. Called the doc?”“Already did,” he said as we pu

You're a legend

Victoria’s POVBalthazar stepped up and moved to the front of the line.“You’ve prepared for this: every scenario, all twists. Now get out there and seize those flags,” he said, his voice assertive but not harsh. “It’s merely a friendly game, so don’t kill each other. Four teams. Split up.”I pulled Kara close, and two more girls approached us.“Can we join you?” one asked, glancing between us.“Can you follow orders?” I replied sharply, lifting an eyebrow.They nodded quickly.“Alright then,” I said, gripping the small glow-in-the-dark flag.Balthazar gave each team a number. Ours was three. The whistle went, and we took off running.We stopped by a creek, where an old tree root made a good hiding spot. The dirt had worn away enough for us to crouch underneath.“Here’s the plan,” I said. “I’ll stash the flag. You two cover yourselves in mud and stay put until I get back.”I knew exactly where to go: the cave. I walked in and took a long breath as the cool air hit me. Thane crossed my

Who did this?

Kara marched up to Sienna, holding her by the neck. “Where is she, you lying piece of shit? Tell me!”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Sienna choked out, her voice just above a whisper.Kara lifted her hand, about to hit. “Don’t test me,” she said, her voice subdued. Balthazar walked in at that moment.“What’s happening here?” he barked.“Victoria’s gone, and she knows something,” Kara snapped, stepping toward Sienna but stopping short.“Missing? What do you mean?” Balthazar asked, his tone sharp.“She sometimes wanders at night, but this time she didn’t come back,” Kara said, her frustration clear.“Alright, let’s get teams together and start searching,” Balthazar ordered.Kara rushed into the bedroom and called Thane, telling him everything.“I’m on my way,” he said, his tone cold. “You were supposed to watch her,” he shouted before hanging up.They split into groups, each with a search area. Kara found Sienna sitting under a tree with her friends.I’ve warned you before. T

It sounds ridiculous

"I never have," Balthazar admitted."You’re using the wrong bait," I said with a smile. "Tell me when you’re coming next. I’ll bring you some bait."The dark room never scared me. Drystan always made me face my fears. Sometimes I wonder if there was a bigger reason for that. Thane’s words reverberated in my mind. He’s protecting me; I’m his weakness. Forget his face? Never. I remember every detail, the curve of his lips, the way they felt against mine. Tears flowed down my cheeks. Missing him hurts all the time. I held his gaze without flinching. "Sometimes I fish, watch the sunset, swim in the river. Run. I’m a free spirit," I said, shrugging."Alright, let’s try this again. I believe you will do all that. But the nurse reported missing antibiotics, painkillers, and sutures," Balthazar said, leaning forward."Oh, that. I cut myself…" He slammed his hand on the desk."The truth, Victoria.""Fine. I helped a wolf. It was hurt; it had a huge gash. It would have died if I hadn’t helped."

Nowhere to run

Kara was pacing when I walked into the dorm.“What’d you get?” she asked.“Kitchen duty for a week,” I muttered. I flopped onto the bed and curled up.Kara ran her fingers through my hair.“Stupid bitch,” I grumbled. “Hope she learned her lesson.”“Yeah,” Kara said, “but how’d the viper know to wrap around Sienna’s neck?”I’d been wondering the same thing, replaying it in my head. I told it to go tighter, and it listened. Weird. Maybe animals know I care about them, and they care about me. What am I even saying?“Kara, I’ve got no clue. I’m exhausted. I need sleep.”“Alright,” she said, pulling the blanket over me. “Sleep.”When I woke up, it was dark. Everyone was out cold. I had to know.I hopped the fence and wandered into the forest. After a while, I spotted a porcupine. It froze, staring at me.“Hey, little guy,” I said in a whisper. “If you understand me, come here. Okay, maybe it just likes me, I thought. Then I saw an owl.“Fly onto my arm,” I spoke quietly. The owl took off a

That's her nature

Drystan’s POVI drummed my fingers against the mahogany desk in the packhouse office, Victoria's face haunting my thoughts. Now, she must despise me. I'd chosen the path of vengeance and power instead of her. Victoria remains my only vulnerability, a fact no one can discover.My phone vibrated against the desk."What has she done now?" I asked with a dry laugh."Besides scaling the fence daily?" Balthazar's voice crackled through the speaker. "She's stolen medical supplies and saved someone's life.""I trained her well. “She never did fear consequences," I said, pride mixing with regret. "How are her abilities progressing?""She's mastering everything, Drystan. But she remains untamed.""That's her nature," I replied, my chest tightening with longing."I'll arrive soon. Then set her free. I need her far from me when the war begins. I can't keep her safe."Balthazar's heavy sigh filled the line. "Are you certain this is right?""Not at all. I shatter a little more each day without her.
