Raina I take time to explore the pack.This is the first opportunity I’ve had to do so without Malcolm or anyone else breathing down my neck. Knowing him, there is someone assigned to watch me around here, but I haven’t noticed them yet, so I feel like I have freedom. Even if it is only temporary.The pack is beautiful. The grounds are spacious, the trees are full and block the sun’s hot rays, and they are also full of life. I see tons of squirrels, birds, chipmunks, foxes, and who knows what else could be out here.I take a deep breath, enjoying the freshness of the air. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to being outside so much. If I could, I would move my bed onto the balcony and sleep out there so I never have to be away fro

 I’ve never run this fast in my life.Already, I was in a hurry from the moment I heard that rogues crossed into my border, but I asked Annie to let Raina know that she couldn’t go outside right now, and Annie couldn’t find her. I sent out a mind link to see if anyone knew where she was, and a few people saw her in the woods. She’s in danger. I have to find the rogues and dispose of them, or find her and get her to safety.My wolf is just as anxious about it as I am and pushes our body to max speed. I catch a whiff of the rogue's scent and take off in that direction. This one was by itself; it took nothing for me to grab it by the scruff of its neck and yank it to the ground. One of my pack members is right behind me, and I leave the rogue behind for them to deal with.

Raina I shifted.I didn’t even know you could have your first shift without the full moon's presence. Seeing that rogue about to attack Ellie, my body just reacted, and my wolf made itself known.Having her in me is weird, though. It’s like she’s been lying dormant all my life, and now, she’s not. I can feel her presence within me, on edge, nervous. I don’t know why.Malcolm is looking at me, and I can feel his stare even though I’m not facing him.Air, I need air.Walking to the balcony, I take a deep breath. The fresh air seems to calm my wolf’s nerves, and suddenly, my chest doesn’t feel so tight.

RainaI wake up in my bed alone. The scent of Malcolm fills the room, and even though he isn’t in here anymore, I know he must’ve been here the whole night.My wolf’s happiness at that fact sends pleasure racing through me. I’ve never felt so at ease like I do now. There’s a knock on my door, and I call out, “Come in!”As the door opens, I stretch, closing my eyes and yawning. I don’t know if I’ve ever had such a peaceful sleep before. I look to the door to see Malcolm there, a soft smile on his face as he looks at me, and he holds a tray. He nods towards the balcony and asks, “Would you like to eat breakfast?”

Annie It’s the weekend. The pack house is bustling with visitors taking advantage of our open-door policy on weekends.Teenagers play in the game room, adults mingle in the living and dining rooms, and children play on the playground outside. Ellie stands at my side, unsure of what to do.She’s been such a recluse since her parents left. Well, her dad left. Her mom, my sister, Cath, met her dad at some club. The dad was human and not Cath’s mate. When he found out she was pregnant, he blocked her on everything and left town. Meanwhile, Cath was going to be great. She had a ton of support from our parents and Bear,
