After an Alpha has given up looking for their mate, and they need a Luna to help run the pack, they will organise an event known as The Whipping. Female volunteers from packs around the country will put themselves forward if they wish to be in the chance of becoming a Luna. These she-wolves would be whipped in front of all the packs, again and again until their backs were red raw and blood covered. The last female remaining would be given the title of Luna as the Alpha would only want the strongest wolf to help run his pack. Most wolves gave up and quit as they couldn't take the pain, but some head-strong females would go until they were no longer breathing. It was an ugly tradition, from years ago. I had never heard of one happening in this day and age...until that day... Until I met him... On the day of The Whipping...

Wanda Maximoff found a crying toddler in a dark alley late at night 14 years ago when she was just seventeen years old. Want to find out the adventures of Wanda Maximoff and Peter Maximoff? Read this!

Untold ghost stories of HYDRA's metal fist ★ I've become a shell of the man I once was; my pride shattered, my valor a facade, my hope stolen. I no longer fear death but crave it. There are days when I'd sell my soul for the high they once offered me, and I know that makes me a terrible person, but I'm damned anyway. Sometimes I wonder if I could flourish in freedom, or if it would make me want to end my own life more than I already do. The darkness that shrouds my vision is something I'm not sure I could live without; sometimes being ruthless feels like the only way, brutal murder is a release for me, and now I crave violence. My life is a crooked fairytale, my dreams a dark abyss of restraint and manipulation, and my desires are a twisted shadow of what they used to be. It might seem like I need saving, but I'm not sorry, I'm not in control.

The true life story of Captain America ★ I've always loved him with my whole life, so when he died, I died too despite my still breathing lungs and beating heart. When he reemerged, I was reborn knowing that I'd been given this power so that I might save him on this very occasion. They told me he wasn't worth saving, that he wasn't the man I once loved, but I knew when our eyes met that we still had far more in common than what separated us. If saving him is within reach, I refuse to live without him, and maybe that makes me a fool, but I have to stand up to the masquerade and do what's right. That's always been my way of fighting other people's wars, and it's high time I started fighting so devotedly for my own, too.
