When Martyn was fifteen, he saw his first crow. The two stared at each other for a second- the bird's beady black eyes versus Martyn's green ones- and then the crow tipped its head, spread its wings, and flew off.

Not long after, Martyn's mother came down with a sudden illness and passed away.

Ever since then, Martyn's been traveling the land. If a crow shows up in the place he's in, he leaves as quickly as possible. They mean misfortune, he's puzzled out, so he shouldn't stick around when they're near. He doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire, after all.

He hasn't ever been all that good at doing what he should, though.

3rd Life AU set in medieval times. Inspired by The Garden by The Crane Wives.

Warning: If you haven't yet watched 3rd Life and don't want to be spoiled, I'd advise holding off on reading this story.

Thirty two. I was thirty two now and mateless. It wasn't so bad when my sisters had been with me. well except Robin. She had married at eighteen to a chosen mate, never admitting or denying if she had ever met her chosen one. She didn't count, she was content with her life. Lark, Raven and I had been the spinster sister's. Melody could draw mates together but ours never showed themselves. Not until a few years ago when Melody's only decent, brief, step brother Royal finished his university degree. His mother had moved into a good neighborhood in the city not long after her former husband Frank had died. Royal had spent a few years living free and wild before discovering an interest in civil engineering and planning. exactly the kind of person Raven had needed for her vast pack expansions. It was cute to look back at how nervous Melody had been to introduce Royal to the world of werewolves and magic. I wish I had of been in the diner when Melody and Alexander had met Louis. Royal's dragon mate. Melody aways showed her heart on her face, if you were quick enough. Girl was too polite by miles. I had instead been next to Raven in the drive when Royal and Louis had rode up to the pack house. Raven had known in an instant both were here. Raven had mated and claimed both of them in less than an hour. Louis claiming her return. Then there were two. Lark and me. Last month at Melody's monthly Lunar Luna party. I was there with Lark, both in our costumes Melody had made for us when she took my hand in hers. "Wren. He's here." she had dropped my hand. Alpha Elijah knew Lark was his. their Mating ceremony was the very next weekend. Then there was one. The old maid. Me.

She believed the best way to live life is to make the most out of it, even if by doing so meant you were tip-toeing the thin line between legal and illegal. That was actually the clear distinction between her and her twin brother, Scott McCall. Not that Scott didn't go on his fair share of risky trips, but that was mostly his best friend dragging him to do that. Stella knew Scott sought adventure, but he was too much of a chicken. But, in all fairness, his chicken-ness did help her out more times than she could count. The one thing she could not understand, though, is how did his chicken motor not go off when his best friend, Stiles Stilinski, came to their house with news of half a body found in the woods. In the end, they all should have listened to Stella about not going. Because that little midnight trip in the woods to fulfil their morbid interest ended up with Scott getting bit, and not just by any animal, no. By a werewolf. Thank God he didn't get rabies, though. 𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘭𝘧 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦──𝘵𝘸𝘰. 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 '𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲' 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. 𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 © 𝖌𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖝𝖌𝖔𝖘𝖕𝖊𝖑.
