~Elvira~ “Come in,” Gabriel’s deep voice called out when I knocked. I opened the door and stepped inside. The living room was bathed in the soft morning light, with its large windows and modern furniture. Gabriel was sitting around a table near the window, across from him sat his grandmother…her grey hair shining... They both looked up as I entered. “Good morning,” I greeted. “Sit,” Gabriel said gesturing to the empty chair between them. The table was spread with a lavish breakfast, freshly baked bread, seasonal fruits, and the rich aroma of coffee. In any other world, this would have been a peaceful morning. But here, with Gabriel’s gaze on one side and the Matriarch’s assessing eyes on the other, I felt like I was sitting in a courtroom. I kept my hands in my lap so they wouldn't see them shaking. “You look pale, Elvira,” Mrs. Grayson said…her voice had the dignity of someone who was used to being obeyed. “Eat. You’ll need your strength for what’s comin

~Elvira~ “Neolla! There you are, I have good news !” I called out…my voice was nearly lost in the noise of young warriors sparing on the training grounds. Neolla was resting over a table… working on her tablet as she barked orders to a young warrior…she looked every bit the warrior…her hair pulled back into a bun. She looked up at me…her eyes softened the moment they landed on me. “Really?” she asked passing the tablet off to wipe her forehead with her hand and led me toward the outer part of the field. “What’s the good news? I love good news!” She replied with excitement in her voice… I inhaled... I wanted to feel the excitement I was about to describe. I needed to believe it. “Gabriel said I’ll be joining the pack tomorrow. At the full moon. The initiation is going to happen.” Her eyes widened…she threw her arms around me hugging me so hard. “Oh, Elvira! This is huge!” she cried pulling back to watch my face with an infectious smile... “A Silverblade werewolf! Do

~Elvira~ “Not all bad?” Silas questioned incredulously. He leaned over to me… his eyes had a warning that went deeper than words. “Be careful around them, child. A wolf knows where his ally stands, but a witch doesn't, they only go where serves them the most. They don't form lasting treaties and they can unravel you from the inside out.” I rubbed my bare wrist out of reflex the skin was still tender where the wooden beads had been for the past few months. “But Alpha Gabriel invited her here himself.” “He is not a fool and he isn't a man who makes mistakes. He knows exactly where Selene's loyalty is, right?” I asked. Silas wiped his hands on his apron. “And that is the only reason this kitchen isn't a war zone. Everyone is silent. We are tolerant because she is the Alpha’s guest. But I heard...” He cut himself off, his eyes moved toward Neolla. The air in the room seemed to freeze. The look they shared meant it was information about pack business that I wasn't supp

~Elvira~ I chose a white cotton dress to put on…pulled my lushly brown hair into a tight ponytail, my fingers trembling slightly in anticipation as I secured the band. This was the night that would change everything…outside the moon hung full in the sky, looking back since I arrived Silverblade pack, I think I have achieved something, it may not be exactly all I came for but it was something. I had registered for the warrior training program to start soon, Gabriel and I are getting along somehow better than my first week here and there's Selene to help me with my mystery powers. I was on the right track to get my revenge. I stepped onto the porch and nearly collided with a female body. "Elvira! I was just coming to bring you out of there." Neolla said…she grabbed my hand leading me to the direction of the forest. "Move faster. Everyone is already at the clearing. The Alpha doesn't like to be kept waiting…especially not tonight." We hurried down the pack yard, the sound o

~Elvira~ “You just had to fucking stop me from reaching the river, I was so close!” I growled at Gabriel through the mind-link…feeling frustrated… I clawed him trying to push his wolf off Val. Bane paid no heed to me…instead he kept fighting me...we tumbled together white and black fur in a tug of wills… but along the process Val stopped fighting… ‘Val! What are you doing? Fight him off! Let’s continue, no one is here to know we were stopped!’ I yelled at her. ‘Mate’s in heat!’ She growled back. “And how is that my business? We need to get to the river! We’re almost there…remember, we didn't outrun every other pack male just to come here and be held down by the him!” ‘I can’t fight him off, Elvira. He smells so goooood.’ She purred through in my mind which only made me want to scream with rage. Val went still and quiet…her eyes clouded over as she began licking him….Bane was licking her all over too… he already had her trapped beneath him. The betrayal made my blo
