"Lila?" My throat scraped the word out, my chest crushing in on itself. "Oh my god, is that you?"Static cracked through the air so fast that I thought I'd imagined it and maybe the white glow was frying my brain. But then..."Iris?" It was her voice! Sure, it was faint and sounded strange, almost like she was shouting through water, but it was hers!I burst out crying, as I panicked. I was so happy to hear her voice again! "Yes, it's me! Oh my God! Lila, I'm here, I'm..."Suddenly the light shone brighter, and then I felt unbelievable heat burn right through me. The book's glow wasn't gentle anymore; this time was alive. I felt it clawing into my veins and demanding more strength than I could possibly give.The words on the page started to get blurry, and my voice trembled as I tried to hold on. "Lila, I need you to listen! I'm stuck somewhere! I don't know where, but it's not home. There are werewolves here, and really dangerous people who tried to kill me, and--"But her reply soun

Tell Me To Stop

The library door opened wider, and Rowan stepped through as if he owned the place. Which, in a way, he almost did. An Alpha never asked permission, not even on another Alpha’s land. Speaking of being on another Alpha's land, I rolled my eyes in annoyance and tried to wipe my tears away. Why did he have to keep following me everywhere? “Rowan? How did you get... I really can't deal with you right now.” “Just checking your prison,” he said flatly, his eyes scanning the shelves, and the melted candles, as well as the book I still held on to. Then his gaze returned to me with suspicion. “Keeping both our packs safe is, unfortunately for all of us, a collective effort. We have to work together to patrol the grounds at night, and that's why I'm here. And you, why are you crying?” “I’m not..." But my voice cracked, betraying me. My throat burned, my chest felt hollow, and I hated that he saw me like this. Rowan moved closer to me like he was approaching something fragile. “Iris.”

False Hope

The air between us stayed heavy after Rowan's words.I wanted to tell him that everything had already changed the second I got dumped into this world with no warning, no manual, no gentle introduction to the fact that werewolves actually existed and apparently, for whatever fucking reason I was supposed to help lead them. But I didn't have it in me, so instead, I stayed pressed against him, resting my cheek against the solid wall of his chest, and listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat as he stroked my hair."I know," I whispered, sighing. "And I don't know if I'm relieved or terrified.""Both," he said, voice rough around the edges like he'd swallowed gravel. His fingers kept brushing through my hair, gently at first so that I almost didn't feel it, then bolder when I didn't pull away. "That's the right answer." He continued. "Anyone who isn't scared of what's happening between us is an idiot."I pulled back enough to see his face, immediately regretting it when those dark eyes m

The Big Reveal

I pushed off the rug, brushing at my wrinkled dress like that would erase the fact that I’d just let myself collapse into Rowan’s arms for the millionth time. “Thank you for your help but I… I can’t stay here with you anymore… I have to go.” He rose quickly the same way I did, hovering over me while checking my face for something, anything that indicated I maybe didn't mean it. “What do you mean? Go where?” he asked “Anywhere that isn’t here. Back to my room, I guess. I wish it were back to my real life, but what can I say? Since when have I ever gotten what I want?" The second I said those words, his eyes narrowed with concern for me. “This again? What do you mean by your real life?” Shit. I folded my arms, hugging myself tight to fight the cold. I had left Rowan's arms, and so I didn't have his warmth anymore. “Forget I said that.” “No.” His tone sharpened, speaking more seriously now. “Try to explain. I've never understood what you meant when you talked about this. I

Straight Down The Middle

Rowan shifted his weight subtly, his arm still hovering near my waist like he wasn’t sure if he should pull me closer or step back.Meanwhile, Serenya took two steps forward into the candlelight, her dark robes swishing against the floor. She bowed her head just enough to acknowledge me. “Luna. May the Moon Goddess's favour be upon you.”Her voice was respectful, but the undertone Iris could hear the disapproving tone in it all the same.“Serenya,” Rowan said quietly. “It's late. What brings you here?”She didn’t answer him right away, swept the room once again, stopping at his grip around her waist, before she finally looked him squarely in the face. “Alpha Rowan. With my deepest respect, your people need you on patrol tonight and Marcus is currently doubling his route to cover for you. I suggest that you please reconsider spending valuable time here, with someone else's mate.”Rowan’s jaw flexed with annoyance before shaking his head, annoyed that even though he didn't want to agre

Both Sides Of A Coin

The sound of the rip echoed through the corridor, and we both lost our balance and fell down, staring down at the book stretched between us, or rather, the two halves of it. The leather binding had split clean, the pages ragged and fluttering, and even though my half still pulsed faintly with that strange glow, Serenya's half sat dark and heavy in her grip.For a moment, neither of us spoke. My chest rose and fell asleep I breathed heavily with shock and effort, like I'd just run a marathon."Well," I said finally, face-palming, "Congratu-fucking-lations, librarian. We just broke your precious antique, I hope you're happy!"Serenya's mouth pressed thin, equal parts anger and fear. Her fingers clutched her half of the book so tightly that her knuckles went white. "Do you have any idea what you've done?""You mean what we've done, because you're not blaming this on me too, are you?""This isn't a joke, Iris." Her eyes flashed with frustration, "That book was bound in sacred rites, ever

Stranger In My Bed

I yelped, scrambled back, and nearly tripped over my own dress. "What the actual..." A man shifted in the sheets, blinking at me through a curtain of greasy hair. His face was hidden in shadow and half-bloodied. One eye looked sharp and clear; but the other was ringed with swelling and dark bruises. I had never seen him before in all the time I'd spent around the pack, but even as I couldn't recognise him, I could tell that he was probably really handsome under all that bruising, but what the hell was he doing in my bed? "Well," he groaned, voice rough with exhaustion. "Took me long enough to find you." I froze. He was human, and I didn't need wolf senses to know it. His eyes were just a regular brown, not the bright, flashy colours werewolves usually had, and there was no scent of power or anything, just the stink of dirt and sweat. And somehow, this stranger had ended up in my bed. "Okay," I said, holding up my hands. "I know I'm irresistible, but breaking into my room an

Strength Vs Smarts

Mattias's knife pressed against my ribs as the howls echoed outside. Wolves were coming fast, and I thought that meant he was screwed, but apparently, he'd planned for this. Because instead of panicking, he grinned."Perfect," he muttered. "Right on time.""What the hell are you talking about?" I spat, trying again to shove his bloody arm off me.He didn't answer, he just pulled me toward the window, and before I could scream again, a loud crack split the night air. Thick, white, choking smoke billowed up from the far end of the compound. My eyes watered instantly, and I coughed, nearly doubling over with dizziness.Mattias's grin widened. "See? That's the difference between us and them. The dogs rely on their teeth and claws, but we rely on our brains."Through the haze, I could hear chaos breaking out outside. Wolves were barking orders at each other now, and I could hear the thundering of paws scattering in every single direction for miles around. The patrols had been split, and

Like A Whole Different Planet

Mattias launched one of the purple smoke bombs back at the werewolves and they yelped and fell back. None of them were about to risk losing their minds or going mad, and in that brief moment of confusion, Mattias escaped, leaving their sights completely. The cage bounced violently against the uneven ground as two men carried me deeper into the forest. I had stopped struggling and yelling a while ago, mostly because my arms ached from gripping the bars and I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing me wear myself out. When the cloth came off my head, the first thing I noticed was the camp. I'd expected some kind of fortress, but this wasn't that at all. It was a sad, almost pathetic scattering of tents and shacks patched together from scrap metal, wood, and torn tarps. Smoke curled from a few dull fires, and I caught the sour smell of stew mixed with wet dirt and sweat. Small children darted between the shelters, their thin faces lighting up with curiosity when they saw

Flirting With The Enemy

The ropes around my wrists had rubbed my skin raw. I shifted against the pile of blankets, trying to find a position that didn't feel like my bones were being ground into dust.Across from me, Mattias sat slumped on a stool, his shirt clinging wet with blood. He was pale under the dim lamplight, his lips pressed into a thin line of determination. For all his big speeches about prophecy and destiny, he looked like one strong breeze could knock him out cold."You're going to bleed to death before your grand plan even starts," I said finally. "Some rebel leader you are."He lifted his head, a flicker of his grin appearing. "Worried about me already?""Worried about getting sprayed with your blood when you keel over and die," I shot back. "I just washed this dress last week."That earned me a laugh, although it sounded low, rough and half-choked by pain. "You've got claws, I'll give you that. The werewolves have been teaching you well"I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, you hate them. I get it. Now
