We all get back to the car and continue the drive. ‘One more night at a motel and we should arrive at Shadow crest mid-morning tomorrow.’ Leon says. The girls are thrilled and excited. I look forward to seeing Flint, Josie, and my parents. I wonder how Zak and Pipsqueak are going? He is so…

Mum, Dad, Seth, Mia, Josie, and Flint burst into laughter. Except for Amelia, whose face becomes suddenly pale. ‘Good one, Leon, so continue. Tell us what really happened.’ My father says. Leon and I give each other a nervous look. Nina won’t even look up from the table and fiddles nervously with her fingers. ‘Well,…

I look around and take a perfectly placed branch off the ground. As I pick it up, I’m yanked back by the old lady just as wooden spikes pop up from the ground in front of me. ‘Not that branch.’ She smiles. I stare back at the branch that had a rope tied around it….

There is a large circle of stones with sticks and branches in the middle, waiting to be lit. A large stone chair carved out of what had once been a boulder was now in its place. It has a throne-like look to it. There is a she-wolf with her hands tied together with rope. A…

The only person I can see is Moss, who is snarling and snapping his teeth at me. I can hear Nina yelling my name. ‘Magnus!’ Moss lunges at me. I snap my teeth over his front leg, breaking it. He lets out a howl of pain and snarls back at me. Before he makes his…

‘Maybe it’s just temporary?’ I suggest. ‘It’s going to take us a week to get back to Shadow Crest. This is very dangerous. We mustn’t mention this magic to anyone in the pack other than Alpha Ryker and Our Luna Astrid. Got it?’ We all nod in agreement and enter the cave we came from….

‘Do you promise?’ she asks after a moment of silence. I open the door and sit next to the tub on the floor. The bubbles are up to her neck. She most likely poured an entire bottle into the bath. I smile to myself, thinking of the washing machine incident. We turn our heads facing…

‘I can’t believe it’s my first shift tonight!’ ‘You must be thrilled. I still have to wait another year.’ Flint mumbles. ‘At least you don’t have to wait two years like me.’ Josie pouts. ‘That’s true.’ Flint replies. ‘Zak, are you okay if I invite my friend Pipsqueak to attend the ceremony?’ ‘Sure, although I…

‘Yes, she was. We were able to free them all just in time, as Astrid had her first shift. Any longer and it would have been too late, as Alpha Zenith’s son would have marked and mated her.’ Dad had an arranged mateship against his will, just as I currently have, but then he met…

‘We are staying. We won’t go back either until we find Nina.’ I growl. ‘Let’s drive to the next town and ask locals there if they have seen Nina.’ May says. We spend four hours driving to the next town. It’s just as cold as the town we had come from. May and I are…
