SELINEWhen I awoke, my vision was blurred, and my head swam with incoherent thoughts. As I fought back the dizziness, my eyes began to adjust, and images of the Moon Goddess and the Holy Moon appeared.For a moment, I stared at them and wondered if this was the afterlife.Had the bear managed to take my life? Was I… dead?Suddenly, the room came into focus, and I recognized the mural I'd painted on my ceiling long ago. I wasn't dead. I was in my bedroom, tucked tightly into bed.How had I gotten here?Suddenly, I felt the soft touch of a warm hand on my arm. When I glanced over, I caught sight of Emily."Oh Seline," she gushed in pure relief, and her pale green eyes glittered with tears. "You're awake!"It took me a moment to register everything. I blinked a few times and then I smiled up at my dear friend. "H-hi, E-Emily."The effort of speaking hurt my throat, but I was so relieved to see her that it didn't matter."I was so worried, Sel," Emily continued on, and she wiped a tear f

SELINEMy voice caught in my throat as the Alpha King's words set in. He was absolutely correct and I understood the potential consequences of my actions completely.Things in Ravenspire were different than they were here. In Ravenspire, going against the Alpha's wish or running from the Pack was considered treason, and furthermore, a felony. They were strict in their laws and highly set in their ways in the capital, something I knew all too well. I'd lived in that terrible city for eighteen years.Austin Collins' cold gray eyes bore into mine with horrible intensity as he waited for me to respond to his accusation, but I didn't know how to answer. If I owned up to and admitted that I was trying to run away, I would be arrested and tried for treason. But I didn't have another reason to justify my actions.Who would run into the forest at midnight with all of their belongings other than a deserter?Luckily, before I could respond, Derek rushed to his feet."You're taking her to Ravensp

SELINE I gulped back the lump in my throat as I stared at the black mark on Austin's skin. Of anyone, I never would have expected the Alpha King to become infected with the mysterious disease. Especially since he'd just arrived here from Ravenspire. Was the disease running rampant in the capital just as it did here? We hadn't heard anything about it here, and besides, if it was so prevalent, there would have been no reason for Austin to keep his condition so private and concealed. So, how did he get infected in the first place? From the research I'd conducted with my patients, I'd come to the conclusion that the disease didn't transfer very easily, which was especially lucky for us. Otherwise, we'd all have been infected by now, especially me. I worked around the infected so often that it was a miracle that Emily and I hadn't become infected yet. Though the illness was peculiar and mysterious, there was one thing I did know- the disease weakened werewolves' power. Once presen

AUSTINOnce the healer left, I leaned back in the armchair in Alpha Marcus's meeting room and released a sigh. My head was aching, as if I had a million hammers, pounding at it at once. I pinched the bridge of my nose between my fingers.It was difficult to say whether the headache was from the mysterious disease worsening or the lack of sleep. I barely got a full night's rest these days, and it was beginning to take its toll on my entire body. It was simply too difficult to rest when there was so much plaguing my mind.And now, there was someone else to consider, someone I couldn't get out of my head.Seline Carter.Even though she was gone, her name ran circles in my mind, over and over, as if it were a song rather than a name.Seline Carter, a nobody healer from a long-forgotten Pack on the border of Valcrest.Over the past few conversations I'd held with her, I knew there was something special about her, something weirdly familiar that drew me in in unexplainable ways. As much as

AUSTIN I stared out the window and admired the way the light entered the room. Dusk here in the Shadowvale Pack was far more tranquil here than it was all the way out in Ravenspire. Out in the capital, it was nearly impossible to see the horizon amidst the tall buildings and structures. Here, there was nothing but open sky for miles. I peered out at the front lawns. Here, the grass grew tall and was a plush, emerald green. The lawns of my palace in Ravenspire were nothing like this. They were broad and spacious but cut meticulously short by the team of gardeners. It was almost as if wildlife was forbidden. There was no smell of pine, no fresh air… I inhaled deeply. I'd never admit it to anyone, but I would miss the fresh air here. There was something to be said for this land beside the border. There was a wildness here that didn't exist out in Ravenspire, no matter how much I yearned for it. Far out on the lawn, two boys were playing ball with one another. One of them, I assumed,
