Devran is a handsome, dominant, certainly arrogant, and aggressive Alpha who despises humans... Mira is a human. Both docile and beautiful. When this human finds herself in the lives of werewolves everything begins to change. Both tension and attra...

When I lifted my head I flinched at the pain that shot through my stiff neck. I cranked my head from side to side trying to loosen me up. I had fallen asleep beside Mira's hospital bed while holding her hand so I kinda just leaned forward and slept with a half turned neck. I possibly drooled a little bit on the sheets. Opps. "Knock knock" I heard a voice in the doorway. "Hi mom" I gave her a tight lipped half smile. She's been worried about me because I've been worried about Mira. I haven't left her bedside and I won't until she wakes up.
"I brought you some real breakfast not this hospital food...no offense to them" she whispered the last part. Our wolf healers aren't cooks. "Thanks" I snatched the bag because my stomach growled as soon as she said the word food. "And a change of clothes. You stink" mom dropped the bag beside my seat. I nodded to show her I would change later.
"Well, everyone at the pack house says hello and we all miss you and of course our Mira. Breakfast just isn't the same without her" my mom smiled poignantly down at my best friend. "Has Devran been by?" She asked me, but was giving me the side eye which means she was snooping.
"Yeah, he comes by," I shrugged. Everyone in town is in a frenzy over the fact that Mira is a Mystic. It's the news of the century. Mira's secret got out when she decided to try and help everyone and save both our lives and our village from the forest fire and all the smoke that came with that. She used her gifts to lift the fog enough for people to find their way along and then she did the craziest thing. She opened up the skies and made it rain down on everything. All the fire and everything around us. She poured tears and it poured rain.
I have never seen anything like it. I could see by the way she clutched the ground that her magic was taking a lot out of her. I tried to stop her but it was like she slipped into a trance and her body trembled and she released every drop of water her body had to match the sky she was calling out to.
It was a miracle. The elders were calling her Marible or Marabilia, which in Latin means wonders and prodigies of nature, and it's plural, wondrous things. I guess that's how far back Mystics go. To Latin times. We are all astonished. Devran nor any of the council has yet to discuss how they passed her up as Luna. I don't know if they'll openly acknowledge that or not. "Hey Jasper, just here to check Mira's vitals. You know the drill" our plump friendly nurse, who lives in our other town so I'm not too familiar with her, said to me.
It was routine by now. Mira has been out for three days. I thanked the nurse and walked out into the hall to give her some privacy. "You should probably change now" my mom nagged me but in her nurturing motherly way. I rolled my eyes and handed her my breakfast sandwich before going into the bathroom to freshen up.
When I got back I traded the dirty clothes for the rest of my breakfast. "Alright, well I gotta go I just wanted to check on you. Love you" she kissed my head before walking off. When the nurse walked out I walked back into the room and plopped down on that same chair I've been in. I heard a knock and figured mom forgot to tell me something so I barely reacted to the figure in the doorway. When I realized it wasn't my mom I straightened in my seat and cleared my throat.
