Wyatt pulled the knife out and applied pressure to the wound. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Cain!” Wyatt cried out. “I thought you were one of them!” Cain reached up and gripped Wyatt’s arm hard. His eyes shook with determination. “Take….me…” Cain struggled to speak. “Inside… now.” Cain pointed to the mound. “Inside?” Wyatt asked. Cain nodded, coughing again. Wyatt looked back at the mound and then to his friend. He nodded. He moved Cain’s hand. “Hold it tight,” he…

Wyatt had followed the trail into the pass. There was a small, makeshift campsite, a circle of rocks for fire, some branches, and mulch for kindling. It was clear that someone had taken shelter here for the night before being set upon in the morning. While the snow had kept up through the night, the impressions left from the struggle were still visible. It looked like at least three men had been involved, and from the paw prints, at least one of them had shifted. When Caleb reached out to Wyatt with…

“Bell…” Ashleigh called out to her gently. Bell’s eyes moved down to the paper Ashleigh held. She swallowed, and her eyes fell to the floor. “You read it….” Bell said quietly. Ashleigh looked down at the letter. She folded it and set it down on the desk. Looking back to Bell. “Yea,” she replied gently. Bell nodded, squeezing herself tighter. “So, this is all my fault then?” she asked, looking at Wyatt. “Whatever deal you struck with that bloodsucker is why you left Cain out in…

“What does that mean?” Ashleigh asked. “Betrayed Cain how?” “There is a different story I need to tell you. Before I can tell you about what happened to Cain.” Wyatt said. Ashleigh settled into her chair to listen to his story. Wyatt took a deep breath. He cleared his throat and tried to look at her. He hesitated to hold her gaze. “Several years ago, I was approached by one of our wolves. She told me about her granddaughter from another pack. She wanted my help in getting her approved to…

‘Abandon Winter?’ she thought, ‘Selfish desires… this is what he thinks of me? Of everything I have done for our pack… our family?’ Ashleigh felt heavy and weighted down in sorrow. But, Caleb’s warmth, acceptance, and love entered her mind. She realized that she didn’t have to feel this way anymore. “I’m tired of feeling like this….” Ashleigh sighed. She looked at her father and shook her head as she let out a bitter laugh. “I have worshipped you my entire life,” she said.…

Corrine and Ashleigh had a friendly chat, talking about nothing, just spending time together. It was refreshing. Ashleigh looked at her mother, her Luna. “Mom?” “Yes, dear?” “How do you know what your people need?” Corrine blinked at Ashleigh in surprise. “Sorry,” Ashleigh laughed, realizing how strange it was to suddenly ask. “I just… Fiona said that as a Luna, you need to think about what your people need. So I wondered, how you do that?” “Ah,” Corrine smiled. “Well,…

“We’ve gotten word back from packs in South America and Europe,” Clara reported, looking at her tablet. At the same time, Caleb typed something on his computer. “And?” Caleb asked. “South America reports suspicious activity and potential fae sightings. Europe hasn’t had any activity, but there was concern about a report from China. We have not heard back from any of the Asian packs.” “Did the South American reports have any actual confirmed sightings or contact?” “Nothing…

“You know I’m your older brother, right?” Axel growled into the floor. “A little respect would be nice!” “Don’t act like a child, and I will treat you like an adult!” Ashleigh growled back. “Caleb!” Galen shouted as he ran into the room. “It’s fine,” Caleb said casually. “Ashleigh’s got it handled.” Galen looked down to see Ashleigh holding her brother down forcefully. “Let me go!” Axel grumbled. “Are you going to behave?” Ashleigh asked. “This isn’t…

Ashleigh just stared back at him. Trying to understand what he meant. Caleb took a deep breath. “I didn’t want you to come,” he began, “because I knew how they would react.” He clenched his jaw and sniffled. “I knew that my pack was not ready to accept you as Luna. I knew that having to explain what happened between us would only make it that much harder for them to understand.” “Ok,” Ashleigh said. “But why not just tell me?” Caleb scoffed. He looked up at her, and the…

“What’s this about Ashleigh?” Caleb asked. He reached out and took her hand in his. “Did something happen today?” “I just heard some things,” she said. “What things?” Caleb asked. He tried to keep calm, but she felt the change in him. The anger under his words, the hint of fear. “Why are you scared of what I might have heard?” Ashleigh asked. Caleb sat up a little more, and she felt him pulling away from her. “I’m concerned because you seem upset,” he replied. She looked…
