Thiri remember what Lana had said yesterday about how my aun was different. So maybe that was why none of them had the guts to walk up to me and ask or say shit to my face

Then a hund had come out of nowhere to pull me to a

secluded put of camps near the foresi. Talmost screamed bloody murder and attacked my kidnapper, but quickly recognized the irritating scent of Suzy’s perfume. I can’t even get a whiff of her original scant. It’s almost as she took a bathini.

“You laak well.” She snarls at me after sizing me up.

“Wish I can say the same about you.” i retort, dyeing her disheveled form. Her light blond hair seems frizzy and no longer straight like they once were. It’s almost like she has neglected to maintain it. And her pale skin seems droopy with bags hanging under her eyes, which are red and puitly.

She has makeup on to cover it all, but my sharp eyes can see

“You must feelsmu now, don’t you?” She moves back to cross her arms over her chest, giving a nice view of her cleavage “I’m on the verge of losing my mate, and you. you were claimed by a Lycan Prince. It’s like everything’s going good for you while I’m in hell right new

“Don’t look so confident yet, Archer.” She sneers, taking a step closer and towering over me in her five inches pumps. “He still hasn’t marked you, so it’s either you’re just his toy that he would discard soon enough, or you’re just as much a

disgrace as you were to Brad. Brad never wanted you, so why

My wall pumps her strength into my bonds, and I counter Stacy’s attack by grabbing her wrist and gripping her nack instead. I’m surprised at my fast reflexes, and so is Stacy because she’s supposed to be stronger than me. Since she’s the next Luna in line and mated to an Alpha, she

should have been able to put me into submission in one

move. But it seems not as I’m the one gripping her neck and

depriving her of air.

Her green eyes dull of their glow and widen a fraction as

she claws at my wrist. Gritting my teeth in imitation, I throw

her across the air, and her back hits a tree not too far from

us, and a sickening crack is heard. I’m once more shocked at

my show of strength as Stacy takes in huge gulps of air. She looks pathetic there on the ground, couphing with tears pooled in her eyes.

She blinks, and the look is gone, neplod with a spark of vengance for being humiliated. She’s out for blood, my blood. She balls hertise and is about to take a step towards me when someone barks behind me.

“Back off, bitch!” I turn then to see Lana glowering at stunned Stacy, who’s has stoppedded in her tracki.

Even am shocked that ihe is standing up to Stacy, her future Linna. What is the daine?

Stacy sizes both of us up and realizes she can’t take

both of us at once as she backs away. Her eyes are still filled

with contempt as she stars,

“You’re dead, Elle.” Then she diverts her eyes to Lana

alsa, “Both of you.” She promises before stomping back

towards the campus building, I stare at her till she’s out of

Sight before turning towards Lana, who had moved to stand

beside me.

“Thanks,” I tell her as she smiles at me. “How did you

find me?”

She shrues, “I was looking for you when I saw Stacy drag

you own here. And I saw quite a lot.” She prins mischiously. “Damn girl, where did you put that kind of

strength ownlo? Even wouldn’t have been able to throw

her as you did. She had seemed like a ragdoll you were setting rid of.”

pale we slowly began to walk back to campus. “Even I was surprised. But you shouldn’t have helped me as you did.” I sigh

“She’s our future Luna and can stir a lot of trouble for

you, especially if she tells Brad.”

She scalls, dramatically flipping her hair. “Well, she’s not our Luna yet. And what kind of Luna attacks her pack members that she’s supposed to protect just out al spite?” She hutts with a scowl on her face. I decide to keep quiet, not wanting to bring up an argument. I get where Stacy’s coming from a bit, I’m a threat to Stacy’s mate bond with Brad, and her wolf is probably going crazy at that thought. No wolf can handle that

“What about Gina7 You two made up yet?” I gingerly ask, knowing how close they had been and how fragile the topic of their big fight was. I’ve never seen them argue like they had yesterday

She looks away, but I see the hurt in her eyes before she does. She might have acted tough yesterday, but she still likes Gina as her friend a lot. These two have been together

since middle school. At least that‘s what she had told me.

She sights in frustration as she runs Hr hand through

her hair. She Chhover last night and said she was sonTy. She pauses before shaking her head. “Na, scratch that. She only said we should put it behind us and act like it never happened. But that just got me all the more pissed. I mean I’ve always known her to be a snobbish, self-absorbed and impudent bitch, and I have lemned to accept her for who she is and only focus on good qualities, which are little. But she crossed a line yesterday, and I can’t keep letting her off the hook every damn time Sheds to understand she

can’t always put her way.”

Her chest is heaving by the time she’s through, and her jaw clenched in determination. Teah I knew it was a fragile

topic. And it s

ms there’s more to it than just what Gina had

done to me

I place my hand on her shoulder, and she relaxes her tense form. “Listen, Lana. You don’t have to fight with your best friend over me. I really don’t care what she thinks of me as long as she doesn’t say it to my face or do anything

stupid.”

She chuckles, but there’s Little to no humor in it. “It’s

not just about you, Ellie. There’s more to it, and I’m tired of keeping quiet.” She announces, leaving me curious. I want to

“On a lighter note, how’s sex with a Lycant” She teases

with a smirk or her pluimp lipsiswat her shoulder with my hand and hide my face way to hide my blush. She laughs at my flustered expression as we make it to where students are bustling

“Oh, stop acting like a prude. Tall me, how‘s living with a Prince.” She wietlas her eyebrows w oustively, but I only roll my eyes at her. Sitting on the glass, I flex my neck before sitting my book on my lap.

I had my next class in about an hour, indi intend to spend it away from all the burning states. Lana sits opposite me with her legs craised in front, Indian style.

“I hate it.” I suddenly say, making her arch an eyebrow at me. “I hate living with Reagan, I’m not allowed to go anywhere except for school. It’s like I’m grounded or held prisoner. I’m a werewolf, Lana. I’m not used to being cooped up inside!” I burst out before falling on my back to the grass.

I feel hercome to lie beside me on the itchy grass, but i keep staring up at the dear blue sky,

“That sucks. I don’t know how Lycan mating works, but I

don’t think you should be treated like some Rapunzel,” I say

nothing as I feel her turn to her side towards me.

“What are you going to do?” She asks, probably already

seeing the wheel turning in my head. I smirk, still looking up

before taking a glance at her.

Would you like to accompany me to visit my aunt at Red Moon Pack?” ! grin devilishly at her. Her widen, and I’m not sure it’s because of the name, Red Moon, of because I’m planning en running wür.

She abruptly stands up before blinking at me. “Rid Moon? Your junt’s from Red Moon! But that pack is known to be very dangerous. No one in their right mind goes there. They’re not even addressed – Red Moon but Blood Moon

Troll my eyes as she keeps on rambling while she sits

“I hear they bathe themselves in the blood of their enemies.”

“Would you shut up?” I snap while also sitting up. Most

of those things you hear about Red Moon pack isn’t true.”

Red Moen Pack is a secluded pack located in Oakland,

le’s deep in the forest and cut out from civilization, Rogues

who venture into thöre never come out alive, and their

Warriors are known to be ruthless. I’ve also heard a lot of

gruesome gossips about them. But when my aunt got mated to a pack member of theirs, I realized most of the gossips was made up. Yes, they don’t let rogues off easily and sometimes kill them on sight, but this is for the protection of

sometimes kill them on sight, but this is for the protection of

their pack members. Most rogues are dangerous and kill

other werewolves pack members for pleasure.

“They’re not that bad,” I explain to her so she would calm down. “I’ve been there lots of times, and they’re very inviting. They just don’t like associating with non–pack members. And since my aunt is part of them, I‘m welcomed

“Yeah, but I’m not a pack member.” She interjects while

crossing her arm over her chest.

“As long as you’re with me, they’re going to accept you. Trust me, Lana.” I assure her, placing my hand on her shoulder. Her eyes dart about as she’s lost deep in thought, contemplating the whole thing. She bites her lip before

turning back to me.

“How long are we staying?” She asks, making my smile

widen in triumph

“Just a few days for Reagan to learn his lesson and for

me to breath.” Red Moon Pack was the perfect pack for that.

No one would be able to trace me there as it’s secluded, and

I’ll have Lana’s spray to help make sure of that. I just need to

find a way to transport out of this town without getting

caught.
