Surely, this had to be a lighting trick. Something her mind conjured to make her think she looked like the spoiled princess so she'd relieve herself of the heartache while thinking that she could be Laura. None of this made sense.Panicked, Lily swept her paw across her vanity, surprised when she upended the table with a shocking amount of strength that she had never possessed.Okay, she needed to sit down for a bit and think. Yes, that was probably just it. Her mind was putting her in the werewolf Princess shoes so that she could dream up a life with Nicholas. That'll never happen.She closed her eyes, counting to five before reopening them. She could see her eyes grow darker and she gave another shout when her back cracked and she was forced to bend over from the pain. Her mouth ached, her head ached, her whole body was on fire and it kept getting worse. Her spine was bending and contorting itself. If this was what it felt like to transform, she didn't want any part of it. She sh

Lily was so angry. Her chest heaved up and down, her cheeks flushed. The feeling she had gotten from the transformation didn't abate even after days past and she had felt the joy wane as she had come down from the high that she had surprisingly enjoyed. And now, staring at the high priestess made all of her anger and confusion rise up again. She could feel another transformation coming on and tamped it down, telling herself to calm down and take everything in stride. "I want to know where I came from."The high priestess stared at Lily. She didn't look shocked or surprised, in fact, it felt like she had been waiting for the day that Lily would finally ask. "You know who I am. What I am." It wasn't a question. Lily stated the obvious truth and watched to see any expression mar her face. The high priestess remained as stoic as ever, staring at Lily with something akin to annoyance."Why would you keep that from me?""I didn't know. I guessed, but I wasn't sure." The high priestess ma

Laura was laying stiff on her bed in an almost lifeless manner. It was what she wanted to be at the moment, lifeless because at this moment, life had little meaning to her. Laying up on her back on her bed, she felt the salty tears run from her eyes and trail silently all the way inside her disheveled hair. It was never supposed to be that way, she thought back to what Nicolas had done, bringing his vampire men to rape the werewolf women. All that was supposed to transpire that day was the ritual and then, the women would've gone home to their families but no, Nicolas had soiled the day and had forever tarnished the memories in the heart of her people.She laughed out into the dark, choking on her tears and coughing heavily. The tears ran faster down her cheeks and her lungs fought for oxygen. During the paroxysmal process of coughing and crying, she'd rolled off the bed and was now on the ground. The end of her coughing fit was the beginning of her break down because she wrapped h

King Eric searched through the drawers of his son's study. His son had told him all that he knew and how he was able to carry out the mating but he wanted to have the books in his hands and so he was here searching the study. He needed to get the book to have a detailed understanding. Even though the prince had told his father the book had missing chapters, the selfish king still wanted it in his hands. After his arrival, he had made his son tell him about all he knew about the werewolves. The prince had told his father all he knew but what the new werewolf king didn't know was that he father was planning on a war. Angry, King Eric flipped the small cabinet next to the king's seat. He had been searching for the book for over an hour and there was no sign he was going to find it. He huffed and moved to the door. He opened the door and called the two guards who were in the look out. Both guards came in and started to search for the book right away. They explored the large study, maki

"Such a wicked man.""And to think he had been staying right under our noses.""... Peelah had been attached to him like a shadow.""I heard that he joined in on the revelry. Such an evil soul."Lily could hear the words ringing in her head and she hunched over, squeezing her head between her knees. She had gone to meet the people today, most especially to check on Peelah and she had met a crowd of people outside Elder Ruthe's house and they had all looked within from the outside, at a scene that she had marveled at. Young Peelah was standing in front of the elders, Baba Kazoh squeezing his arms and telling him to say everything that had been spoked between him and Nicholas. She had walked in when Peelah, with a huge smile on his face, told them with a lisp in his speech, that he couldn't remember anything that they had talked about and that his memory went away with his friend. She groaned, flinching when Elder Ruthe smacked Peelah's behind. He looked at her, offended and apologiz
