Daymond The moon fought to pierce the fog. That was the only way Daymond could make sense of the impenetrable walls slowly closing in around the few scattered tents most of Longnose’s pack carried. Luna and a few others worked together to create a bonfire, but it, too, only added to the illusion that the […]

Pack Matters 1: Chapter 14 (Rough Draft)
Bernard Bernard took out his phone. “I’m going to text the others. Maybe Camille is feeling better?” “That’s a good idea,” Longnose immediately encouraged, but Antione simply shrugged and stared out the window. Bernard lightly squeezed his brother’s arm before getting to work. His eyes widened slightly at seeing a few texts from his mother […]
Pack Matters 1: Chapter 13 (Rough Draft)
Longnose Longnose gripped the wheel, relief mixing with apprehension as the fog gave vague impressions of the city growing around them. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I shouldn’t be risking a couple of pups! But he didn’t try to turn the car around. His Alpha wouldn’t permit such cowardice when their pack was […]
Pack Matters 1: Chapter 12 (Rough Draft)
Antione He stared at Longnose in shock. “Are you serious? You just said that the Voduists hurt Camille, and now you want to drive to New Orleans to meet one?!” The older Alpha nodded. “Like I said, the Voduists don’t always work together. Where one might use their gifts for evil, many more fight on […]

Antione The giant alligator slowly stopped, its head facing Antione. A trail of Clay’s blood mixed with the water. He didn’t know if his lungs were burning due to a lack of air or something else, but he struggled to stop himself from growling in challenge at the colossal reptile. He couldn’t afford to lose […]
Pack Matters 1: Chapter 9 (Rough Draft)
Camille She wasn’t sure whether anyone had invented a word to describe her exhaustion. What the hell was that thing? Camille was still trying to process it when Daymond and Bernard finished changing back to their human forms and sat beside her. She wasn’t surprised to see Daymond eyeing the bloody leg. “Okay. I’ve been […]
Pack Matters 1: Chapter 2 (Rough Draft)
Robert He couldn’t remember the last time he ran so hard. Antione’s confusion drove him forward, almost getting hit by a car as he left the diner behind. His phone felt like a dumbbell dragging him down, but Robert forced himself to keep going. He couldn’t afford to screw up. Not now. Robert didn’t stop […]
Pack Matters 1: Chapter 3 (Rough Draft)
Antione He’d never been a morning person, especially on a school day. But the smells of bacon, eggs, and pancakes never failed to get his attention. He got dressed, went to the bathroom, and followed the tantalizing scent to the kitchen. His mother stood in front of the oven, spatula in hand, waiting for the […]
Pack Matters 1: Chapter 4 (Rough Draft)
Bernard He didn’t remember running back to his car, clutching the note tightly. But nothing else happened as he threw himself into the front seat, locked the door, and drove away without looking where he was going. It was a miracle he didn’t kill anyone. But after making a few turns, Bernard finally started to […]
