Violet
Cora wants me to go live at the Renegade Pack. Now that I have gained my wolf and gotten used to having her for a month she is pushing for me to leave.
I hate it, I’ve enjoyed this past month now that she’s actually training me. Magic comes naturally to me, I don’t know if it’s because I’m the white wolf or because there’s something in my lineage, but whatever it is, it’s fun!
Cora thinks right now is a good time for me to bond with my cousin, Magnolia. She’s going to turn 18 in 2 months and is going to become the first Female Alpha.
Magnolia and I have a special bond that goes deeper than just being cousins. I am the white wolf, but she is the guardian wolf. I’m not quite sure how all of it works, I’ve been trying to read about it in my mom’s journals, but I don’t think she knows much about the guardian wolf role either.
Pretty much in our family, the white wolf can only be born from the white wolf. But the white wolf always needs a guardian, someone whose sole purpose is to keep the white wolf safe. The guardian wolf is whoever is born after the white wolf in the family. The guardian wolf can be a brother, sister, cousin, whatever! It doesn’t matter as long as they are the next born in the family.
Being the white wolf and guardian wolf we are supposed to be better together than apart, but… we’ve never been around each other while having wolves so I have no idea how accurate that statement is.
Cora thinks that now that I have my wolf it is a good opportunity for me to connect deeper with Magnolia to strengthen our bond and that Magnolia may would be able to help me in my desire for revenge.
I know that Cora is right and that it would be good for me to be among my own kind. But… the thought of leaving the place I have called home for the past three years is hard.
She walks into the room and looks at me on the couch and sighs as she says, “I really do think this is for the best, Vi.”
I nod my head, “I know and I trust in you, Cora. Come on, we should head out before it gets too late.”
She smiles and says, “I couldn’t have said it better myself.”
We load up the car and start our drive to the Renegade Pack. I try to ignore the swirls of butterflies in my stomach and instead focus on how excited I am to see my cousin. I just hope we’ll be able to work together as well as Cora thinks we’ll be able to.
Magnolia
I finally have a break from my training to be able to do what I want. My cousin Violet will be coming into town by dinner time so I’m going to take advantage of this time I have to myself without the pressure of entertaining anyone.
My best friend and future Beta of the Renegade Pack, Henry, looks at me with a wicked smile and says, “I bet I could beat you to the lake.”
I smirk back at him as I say, “You’re on!”
He puts his hands behind his head and says, “Go, I’ll give you a head start.”
I roll my eyes, but take advantage of the time that he gave me. It’s hard to go up against him considering that he has his wolf already and I don’t, but it’ll be okay. I can do it!
I run through the pack as fast as I can as I try to take any shortcut I can that I know he wouldn’t be able to take in his wolf form. I know the likelihood of me winning is slim, but I still play the game. It’s fun, so why not play around with my best friend?
It doesn’t take long for his wolf to suddenly jump over me, making me gasp, and it turns around and looks at me. Its tail wags, indicating its playfulness, and I laugh at it.I swear his wolf acts like a pup and it’s one of the cutest things that I’ve ever seen!His wolf tips its head down at me and lowers its body down so that I can ride on him the rest of the way. My legs are burning from how fast I was running and I’m out of breath, so I’m not going to turn down a chance to relax for a minute.I get on his wolf and nuzzle my face into its dirty blonde fur, and I hold on. Once it feels me lightly tug on its fur, it takes off.I close my eyes and enjoy the feeling of the wind in my hair as it surges us forward. Once we get to the lake, I let out a loud squeal as his wolf jumps in, soaking us both.
Great, now I need to get a shower and make myself look presentable before dinner with my cousin.I shake my head as Henry shifts into his human form and I call out, “You did that on purpose!”He raises his hands, “Hey that was King’s fault, not mine!”Ah yes, King, his wolf. It's always the wolf's fault, right?It makes me wonder if they're really that dominating or if Henry uses it as an excuse, but I won't know until it's time for me to get mine, which isn't for a few more months.I roll my eyes and Henry swims towards me and my eyes widen and my cheeks redden as I think about the fact he’s naked.But it turns out he wasn’t actually coming towards me, no instead he was swimming past me so that he can go find a pair of shorts.I think to myself, “Geez, Mags, you gotta get your head out of the gutter!”Henry asks, “Do you want me to find you some dry clothes?”I shake my head no as I get out of the lake and I say, “I’m fine, thanks! I can just sunbathe and get dry.”He nods his head and walks over to sit beside me. He only put on a pair of basketball shorts, and I have to force myself not to stare at his chiseled body. He may be my best friend, but I’m not blind! He’s one of the most attractive people in this pack.I swear he’s staring at me just waiting for me to look at him so he can tease me, but I refuse. I look out at the water, determined not to be embarrassed by the attraction I feel towards my best friend.
Butterflies flurry in my stomach and I try to ignore it and focus on other things. But when he scoots closer and I can feel the heat radiating off his body I swear my mind goes blank and all I can think about is how nice it would be to be his mate.
HenryMagnolia’s birthday can’t come soon enough. Seriously, how has she not figured out that I’m her mate yet?We grew up together. And to be honest, I have been in love with her pretty much my entire life. I have never viewed her as a sister. Things have never been platonic to me.Unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same way. She has always called me her 'bro' or has even tried to set me up with other girls. But I don't want any other girl, I only want her and that's the way it has always been and the way it will always be. I just don't know how to prove to her that she should give me a shot, especially before her birthday.We're still a couple of months away from her birthday and I don't know how much longer I can wait to kiss her. But I don't want her to have any regrets about me.She randomly spouts off, "How much longer are you going to stare at me?"I didn't even realize I was staring at her. I say, "Sorry."She huffs as she shakes her head, "Is there something wrong with me? L
VioletI watch the rain drops on the window as Cora drives us to the Renegade Pack. The day started out sunny, but slowly turned rainy, it’s like the weather reflected my state of mind.Cora sighs as she’s noticed the change in my mood and says, “You’re going to enjoy being here, Violet. I’m not far away, I can be here at any time whenever you need me.”“Yeah.” I mumble in response and she sighs in a melancholy way because I’m being so unresponsive. I look forward to being around Magnolia, but I have enjoyed my life with Cora and I have enjoyed getting to learn about magic. Knowing that all of that is coming to a screeching halt makes me sad. We pull up to the pack and the patrol wave and nod at us in acknowledgement. We’ve visited enough times that all of patrol know who we are.Cora smiles as we pull up to the pack house and immediately my uncle, Alpha Maven, my aunt, Luna Amelia, the Beta couple Bennett and Grace, along with my cousin Magnolia, Henry the Beta’s son, and his younge
MagnoliaViolet apparently refused to join us for games. I wish I could say I was surprised, but I’m not. Us playing games goes by in a blur and then I find myself standing in front of Violet’s door. I’ve never been afraid to talk to her before and I wouldn’t say I’m afraid right now, per say.I just get the feeling she wants to be left alone and I don’t want to overstep.I lift my hand to knock on the door, but it opens up. Violet remarks, “After you get your wolf your senses are stronger. I could smell your scent outside my door. So, what’s up? Why the hesitation?”She walks to her bed and I chuckle as I walk in and close the door behind me. I respond, “I just wasn’t sure if you wanted company.”She nods her hea
VioletI lie in bed unable to fall asleep.Every night the only thing I can think of is the secret that I have managed to keep from everyone. I think of the wolf that I saved. I think of his face and his scent haunts me. I wonder if I’ll ever get to see him again, but to be honest, I don’t know if I should.Obviously he must be in danger or bring trouble where he goes otherwise he wouldn’t have been in such a deadly position in the first place. But it doesn’t matter, every time I have a moment to myself my mind drifts to him. Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow I will be the perfect guest and show my Uncle Maven that I am worth training. I need to take advantage of the next couple of months and soak up whatever knowledge I can. I need to be at my strongest before I attempt to overthrow Xavier Black.I also need to talk with Magnolia about my plan at some point… I’m not sure how she is going to feel about it, but I’m hoping that the bond between is will help. I just need to make sure we a
PhoenixSolid black hair, bright blue eyes, the perfect soft circle face. I can’t stop thinking about her. The beautiful siren who saved my life.I’m the last person on this earth that deserves to be saved. I have wrecked more havoc than anyone all due to the curse that the moon goddess inflicted on me.I don’t deserve this curse. It’s not my fault my father was a monster.I do what I can not to hurt anyone, but I got separated from the pack and attacked by some rogues. Everything else is just a vague memory. I don't even know how I got injured! All I know is that I thought for sure I was meeting my end, but then this woman brought me back. I have to find her.But for now, I walk back home. I walk into the Black Night Pack and the pack members see that my hands are bare and they turn away from me, pretending not to know who I am. I huff as I get to the pack house and use my shoulder to push the door open. My twin sister, Beatrix, looks over at me and stands up and walks to a side tab
MagnoliaOver the next month my dad has been preparing for me to take over as Alpha. I still have 1 month left till my birthday, but my dad has always raised me to know that I would be the leader of the Renegade Pack and doesn’t plan to wait for me to meet my mate to give me the title.It’s exciting, but it’s unheard of in our world. I have never heard or seen a female Alpha. I’ll be the first one, it’s nerve-racking, but exciting. The one thing that does bring me peace about the whole Henry situation is that… if he is my mate I already know he’ll support me, he will want me to continue to be an active leader in our pack, and he will be fantastic.The thought of Henry sends butterflies roaring through my stomach. Lately, we’ve both been so involved in our training, me to be a female Alpha, and him to be the next Beta, that we haven’t spent much time together.On top of that, I’ve been very busy with Violet. She’s jumped into our pack head first, but she has a lot to learn on the rule
VioletThis past month has been… different.It’s weird getting adjusted to living in a pack. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just weird. I’ve gotten into a schedule, I have two trainings a day one for my human side and one for my wolf. I practice magic on my own thanks to the book that Cora gave me and I shadow Magnolia randomly throughout the day.It’s been good for us, it’s helping us create the bond that Cora wanted for us. By the time Magnolia gets her wolf we may be able to achieve our full potential as the white wolf and guardian wolf. I don’t know exactly what that may be, but I’m excited knowing how well we work together.I feel like I’m apart of a family. I’ve felt so numb since my parents died and although I know that Cora tried her best, it’s not the same as the life I have now with the Renegade Pack. This is the life I was meant to have. I was meant to be apart of a pack, just like my dad. Truly, I was meant to be an Alpha, but that is not my fate anymore.I sit in the living r
MagnoliaSilence falls over the group from my dad’s announcement. I know that for the adults they are all remembering what happened to the Moon Stone Pack and they want to prevent that from happening to us. The one good thing is that no one knows that Penelope Fox and my mother, Amelia, were related.There’s no reason for the Black’s to target us. They must genuinely want an alliance.After a few moments of silence, Violet stands up and walks away. It doesn’t take long for everyone else to break out into conversation. Although, I should probably stay and listen, my gut is telling me to follow Violet and I always trust my gut. I move to go after Violet, but Henry grabs my arm.My eyebrows crinkle in confusion as I turn back to face him. His dirty blonde hair is getting long and strange fall over his eyebrows almost covering his honey brown eyes, he brings me out of my admiration for his looks as he says in a low voice, “Maybe you should give her a minute. This must be overwhelming.”Hi
