On a frigid and blustery October evening, the radiant moon cast its glow upon a solitary willow tree, perched atop a hill. Beneath the tree sat a mysterious man, clutching a large, worn storybook. Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a child, no more than 10 to 13 years old, wandering aimlessly nearby. With a welcoming gesture, the man motioned the child over to him.

"Why are you out here all alone on such a freezing night?" he inquired with concern.

The child merely shrugged in response. The man sighed and reached out his hand, offering it to the shivering youngster. Without hesitation, the little boy took hold of the man's hand and they made their way over to the willow tree where a cozy fire was already burning.

"Here you are, little one," the man said gently. "Let's get you nice and warm."

Seated by the fire, the child's eyes were drawn to the book resting against the tree. With a pointed finger, he indicated his desire for a story. The man smiled kindly.

Something about his warmth gave me chills all over my body. Something I don't think I ever wanted in the first place. Especially from him and especially now. "Yes I did, and I still do." His hard grip around my arm loosened, and snaked up to lock his fingers through my hair. Oh Momma, what is happening? Being this close to him has been happening way too often for normal. Still, I couldn't break away from this close contact, I was frozen, shocked. "What makes you think that?" My question hit him with humor, and instead of fully responding, he leans his face closer to mine. The smirk on his face stayed once he noticed the affect he had on me. "Because," he whispers out pressing our bodies together. "I'm your Secret Santa," he licks his lips as if he's hungry, then continues, "I can give you anything I want to give you."

"Heart of Stone, Heart of Gold " by woman_mystic

*Prologue* --- The moon hung high in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the dense forest. The pack gathered in a clearing, their eyes fixed on the imposing figure of Alpha Blackthorn. He stood tall, his presence commanding respect and loyalty from every werewolf present. His voice, calm and fair, resonated through the night as he addressed his pack. But just beyond the circle of light, in the shadows of the trees, lurked Xander Blackthorn. His eyes, fierce and unyielding, scanned the perimeter for any threat to his brother. The pack knew better than to approach him; his reputation as the most rugged and non-approachable member of the clan was well-earned. It was this very demeanor that had kept him from finding his mate, a fate that seemed to weigh heavily on his solitary heart. As the alpha continued his speech, a sudden rustle in the bushes caught everyone's attention. Xander stepped forward, a low growl rumbling in his chest. The pack tensed, ready for whatever danger might emerge. But Alpha Blackthorn raised a hand, his calm demeanor never wavering. "Stand down, Xander," he said softly. "We are safe here." Reluctantly, Xander retreated, his eyes never leaving the shadows. The pack exhaled a collective breath, their respect for the alpha deepening. They knew that as long as the Blackthorn brothers stood together, they were unstoppable. Despite Xander's intimidating presence, his loyalty to his brother was unwavering, a bond that no one dared to question. But then, as the pack dispersed, Xander's eyes fell upon Thalia, a human who had somehow found her way into their world. For the first time, his steely exterior softened. There was something about her that drew him in, something that made him believe that perhaps his fate was not as solitary as he had always thought. His wolf inside him whispered "Mate" . All she could see was glowing olive green eyes piercing through the foliage.

Making my eyes shift from there usual hazel brown to black as night put my hands on her wrist burning her, with that I shoved her into the other wall with one hand making her crack the wall.

" hey...ummm I think you should close you mouth before you catch flies or something" I said sarcastically almost jogging out the school. As soon as I stepped foot out the school doors my trouble some life didn't end there I caught sight of the person I hated with a passion. Before that person could say anything I took off towards the woods. Not to be reminded that the woods here were a dangerous place to be at night. And night was falling unusually fast.

The Story of Midnight by Silverwynd

"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?
