DAMON The scream that comes from Ember’s lips pierces me like a silver dagger. Then, her eyes flutter and she goes completely limp. If not for the guard holding her up, she would have fallen to the floor. My wolf growls. “It should be us holding her, not him.” For the first time since her brother arrived, both he … Read More “The Edge Chapter 10” »
MBER My joy at seeing my brother shatters into sadness as he knocks me out of the way like trash. Crystal, my new friend and sworn protector, ignores me too. They only have eyes for each other. The hug I wanted–no, the hug I needed from my brother–is hers now. Their joy at finding one another tugs … Read More “The Edge Chapter 9” »
DAMON As Joshua closes my office door, blocking my final view of the little she wolf, my wolf grows at me. He’s annoyed that I’ve let her wander through the pack house with hardly any clothes on. “She’s not ours,” I chide him. He retreats to the back of my mind, sulking. My focus returns … Read More “The Edge Chapter 8” »
EMBER Once the door to the alpha’s office closes, Crystal glares at me. If looks could kill, I would be dropping dead on the spot. “If you so much as stub your toc, I’m going to beat you within an inch of your life,” she growls. “If I’m going to get punished, I may as well … Read More “The Edge Chapter 7” »
DAMON I stare out the window, watching my warriors train. My eyes keep focusing on my newest tribute, Oliver James. The former gamma of the Craven Moon Pack, and brother of Ember James. Joshua found him at the pickup point yesterday, just as I demanded. Alpha Stone is nothing if not a coward. I shouldn’t … Read More “The Edge Chapter 6” »
EMBER I don’t need to open my eyes to know where I am. The smell of disinfectant gives it away, familiar from my long hours working at the hospital back home. At first I’m confused, but then all the memories come flooding back. My wolf attacking the alpha. Being chained up in my wolf’s form … Read More “The Edge Chapter 5” »
DAMON I slam my study door so hard that the sound echoes around the room. Striding toward my desk, I sweep everything from the surface, including the list of tributes I was looking at earlier. How fucking dare he? How dare Alpha Stone send me a pathetic runt with a wolf that’s almost feral? Well, he … Read More “The Edge Chapter 4” »
Chapter 3 – Damon Damon I stare at the list in front of me. A list of wolves that are part of the tribute I demand from the weaker packs for maintaining the treaties I have with them. In truth, I don’t need warriors or females. But this keeps them under my thumb and fearful. … Read More “The Edge Chapter 3” »
Chapter 2 – Ember Ember I pack what few possessions I have into a small backpack. A photograph of my parents and another one of me and Oliver in happier times. It still seems unfair that I should be the one that has to leave. Unfair, but not surprising. I don’t understand why he is … Read More “The Edge Chapter 2” »
Chapter 1 – Ember Ember I sit on the edge of the cliff, my legs dangling. All I can hear is the sound of the waterfall crashing onto the jagged rocks below. The humans call this place lovers’ leap. A place where broken-hearted lovers throw themselves off when the pain and heartache get too much. … Read More “The Edge Chapter 1” »
