Everything started changing. At first, it was just my smell, and touch but now it was my strength, my taste, and my moods have also seemed to increase tenfold. Dora has also seemed to notice that my body was changing and I was hoping that she would chalk it up to me becoming a woman and not think something weird is happening and ask me anything. That would be where the trouble would begin. I have tried and practiced but no matter what I do I am not able to lie to either Dora or dad successfully. Something of my eyes or brows start pinching together whenever I am lying and that gives me away almost instantly. Training with dad has also become a lot more difficult trying to hold back the strength in me to 1) not hurt dad because although he is still fit and in shape he does tend to get out of breath a lot lately and 2) I don't want him knowing whatever is wrong with me and sending me away to somewhere far where we will never see each other ever a

Pushing the cloth away from me to have it back on my face again I decided that it was time to tell whoever was using the cloth that they were burning the flesh from my face with the hot cloth. I opened my eyes to see the town doctor and his wife staring down at me. "Honey it's ice water. It shouldn't be burning you." She put it back on my forehead and it was still burning me so I took it off and kept it in my hands so she was not able to put it back on m face again. "I need to go. My dad will be worried about me."I tried getting up to try and get back to dad when I felt that my body was strapped to whatever they had me laying on. "What is this? Let me go at once." They were just staring at me and not even helping me. I know dad said to not trust them and that they were weirdly interested in me when we first arrived and that had me freaked out but they stopped after a while and I thought it was just because we w

Hera's P.O.VThe reason the moon goddess chose to pair me with such a pathetic human counterpart I don't know but that does not mean that I will accept it just because that is the way it should be. She fears everything and all the changes that have been happening to our body that should have alerted her to my arrival she had ignored. I haven't even introduced myself to her yet because everything that she has been taught would have her running from her own self in fear. The man she calls dad has her believing that she is a normal human being when in fact she is the crown princess of the werewolf world. He has raised her soft and never bothered to introduce her to her world of wonder. The woman Dora has tried but each time she does the little human is scared and gets nightmares for weeks. Even now she is having a nightmare, relieving what I did to that man and the couple that was going to use us for the power we possess. I don't know why b

Mary sat down in the chair opposite me looking at the coffee pot on the table and the amount missing from it. "Wow. Did we have some sort of party going on last night? I'm tired, you have drunk almost the whole pot of coffee and Dora is still asleep in bed? What did we do?""I wish it was a party. I wish it was anything else than you waking us all up screaming at the top of your lungs because of the nightmares being back again. I wish you would just talk to me so that I can help you and get you going back to sleeping through the whole night so that I don't have to sit here drinking the entire coffee pot because I had only two hours of solid sleep the night before."I took a swig from the coffee mug before looking up and continuing. "I know it's not your fault and that the nightmares are triggered by something but just like we did when you were little I need to know what so I can help you get rid of them for good. We can't keep waking up multip

Dora's P.O.VI don't know whether Ryder's idea to fast-forward the plan is going to work. She is fourteen years old and not ready to be thrown into the chaos of war and trouble between different parts of packs. I'm scared Ryder will be making hasty decisions because he is hurt by the fact that she had been lying to him about her whereabouts when she went out the last few months. I'm not someone to interfere with other people's teaching techniques regarding their children. I would hate if everyone would interfere and complain and comment on my parenting skills when one day I find my mate. Thinking of my mate made that dull ache in my heart that's always there just flare up a little more. I had been searching for him for the last eight years. Whenever we moved to another location I would take the first two days and just go around the city looking around and searching for him hoping and praying to whoever was listening to me that he would be there and that I could f
