I remember a day like this all too well. I'm standing outside and it's sunny, but I think the sun didn't get the message that today was supposed to be a day of mourning, because it's beams are so bright that you'd think it was smiling down on you - a blinding, burning smile. It's a bit warm outside, but everyone is wearing long-sleeved and dark clothes, further capturing the hot sun in their bodies. I'm also wearing black, one of Bea's old clothes that fitted me a bit too perfectly. She told me I… -
The wolves in the arena bolt. They move faster than I am able to count them. It's like a stampede of wolves, rushing past Adonis to the border where the wolf was said to have been injured and dying. Bea and Ben follow the small pack and Jackson starts to go after them, but hesitates. "Go on," I tell him. I glance at Adonis, who's still standing there, quiet. "I'll catch up with Adonis." Jackson nods. There's a grim set to his jaw and his eyes have darkened again, like an eclipse has passed through…

"What is it?" The sheets crinkle and Jackson turns on his side. His hand fully covers mine. "What's wrong?" I bite down harder on my lip, drawing some blood. I'm not quite sure how to formulate a sentence, suddenly, and saliva collects under my tongue. "Anvi?" Jackson's voice tenderly caresses my heart. "I...my wolf...I don't have my wolf anymore, Jackson," I say. My voice is so soft that I'm not even sure if the ants heard it. "I used to, but after I lost my parents, I guess I lost that part of…

I feel my heart begin to panic. I'm still in the same bed, right? There's nothing out of place, is there? The room is so dark I can't see anything. And without my wolf it makes it harder to use my night-vision. Something crawls up my hand. Ew, what is it? I try not to make a sound, but at this point my heart is choking me. The ability to breathe is so hard that I feel my fingertips turn cold and numb. I can't feel the blankets, or the wisps of air embracing me. I can't feel anything put the sweat…

"I can borrow some clothes from Ashley," Jackson says after a few seconds of thinking. "Delia always keeps an extra toothbrush in the cabinet above the sink, and you can use my toothpaste if you want. If not, there's some extra under the sink." We both stand at the same time and Jackson and I take a moment to just look at each other. My world has flipped on itself in one day! One moment I'm scrubbing Alpha Banastre's floors and being beaten by his daughters, and the next I'm whisked away in a palace…

As soon as the sound leaves my lips, I'm released. It's almost a panicked rush, like the person wasn't expecting me to react in a way that any normal person would when they're blindfolded and pushed up against someone they don't know. I don't expect him to let me go so quickly without a fight, so the stance I've taken to kick him quickly topples and I find myself on the ground, my hair covering my face and blinding my vision of my attacker. "Hey! Who are..." my voice trails off as the wind brushes my hair…

The woman there - a pale, round faced lady with hooded eyes and a small red smile who looks to be in her forties grins at me, displaying a row of all perfect teeth except one, which is slightly crooked. She's holding a broom and dustpan and takes a step forward and out of impulse I take a step back. Jackson, however, smiles. "Oh, Delia, there you are!" "I'm sorry for startling you, your highness," Delia's voice is throaty and deep and she uses her tongue a lot, like how a snake continuously sticks their…

"And here is the pack house," Jackson continues to ramble on excitedly, like he's a child showing me his action figure collection. "We usually have meetings here, but sometimes it's used as a place for parents to drop their kids for babysitting. Or sometimes teens come here to hang out and play video games." Through the window, he points to the console that stands atop a table in what I think is one of the living rooms. "There's no daycare?" "We're making one." As we pass the pack house and move down the…
