-Angelica-It’s been over two years since the last time I saw my son. Ever since that moment I never stopped training. I learned all the combat skills that I could learn, starting from Merrik to Ethan. I learned the art of seduction from Fiona and learned to wear something even though it looked like I was not wearing anything.I also requested Ethan to teach me how to cook, and I was glad that I was able to convince him despite his already full schedule. “No, you don’t do that!” Ethan shouted when he saw how I placed all the vegetables at the same time. “You didn’t tell me that they aren’t supposed to be dropped one at a time,” I said frowning. I know I said I was thankful that Ethan took the time off so that he could teach me how to cook but I never said I was happy with it.Ethan closed his eyes and breathed in before opening them again and said in the kindest tone he could master.“Vegetables aren’t all the same, some of them are so soft that they only require just a few minutes.
-Angelica-I look around the house that became my home for the last five years. My letters have also been prepared before I set towards the pack house to meet with Ethan and the rest of the team who’s headed to assist the Wave Water Pack. “All set?” Ethan asked as I walked into his office and nodded. “You know that you don’t need to join these brutes, right?” Fiona asked pointing at her brother and his friends. “We are not brutes,” Merrik complained.“Yes you are,” Fiona said sticking her tongue out to him. Watching them bicker is one of the highlights of my day. I can’t help but smile when I see them the way they are. How it feels to be young and without any pressure of adulthood.“Okay if all of you are ready, then it’s time to go,” Ethan said, looking at me. “Can’t I make you change your mind?” Fiona asked once again.“I will be fine,” I said as I held onto her shoulder, but then decided to pull her close to me because I knew that she would be one of those that I would miss abo
-Angelica-I wasn’t expecting a lot of newborns to attack us. But what surprised me most was the fact that Vampires are there to fight with us, just like what Ethan had said.At first, awkwardness can be felt between the wolves and the vampires since what we are fighting against are also vampires. “Ethan,” the biggest and most handsome guy shouted. “We need to make sure that all the women and the children are in a safe place.” Ethan nodded but it was the pack leader who responded, “We are starting to move them,” he said as he split a newborn vampire in half. “I have a feeling that this is just the beginning,” the leader of the vampires said. “And just like what I had said, these newborns are not created by any of us. I mean they are not bitten. I don’t know how exactly they were created but I have a hunch.” “Please tell,” the leader of the pack said.“Vampire blood was still used obviously but, it’s either they were injected with it or it was drunk,” the leader of the vampires, Kr
-Angelica-“What were you thinking?” Ethan shouted, waking my senses. “You were almost mauled over by those newborns!” Of all the times I had been in his pack, this was the first time that I heard him shout at me. In the five years that I have stayed with him, this was the first time he had lost control of his temper. Despite all the teasing and bickering that we had, he never shouted at me the way he was shouting at me now. “I’m sorry,” I said trembling, not because I was scared of him but because I knew how close I was to dying.“Hey, man,” the guy who saved me said as he placed a hand on Ethan’s shoulder. “You gotta chill. Can’t you see she’s trembling with fear?”Ethan turned to face him, the anger on his face was something I had never seen before. “Sebastian!” Kristoff shouted, his voice booming and echoing inside the room. “Don’t interfere with something that isn’t in your jurisdiction.”But instead of following Kristoff, Sebastian moves in front of me hiding me from Ethan.“S
-Angelica-My head hurt so bad that it took me a hard time opening my eyes. “Don’t move too much,” Raja ordered. “Or else you’ll break a lot more bones than you already did.” I stopped moving but opened my eyes. I let my eyes roam around but since I can’t move I can only see the ceiling.“Where am I?” I asked. “In a place you don’t need to know,” Raja replied before touching my leg, twisting it in a way that I ended up screaming. “What the hell, Raja?” I asked angrily as the pain lingered on my leg.“Oh, I’m sorry,” she replied. “Does it hurt?”I bit my lip to avoid talking back at her for fear that she would just hurt me more. “What’s wrong with you?” I asked, “Are you mad at me?” I waited for Raja to answer but instead of answering me, she took a very deep breath. “So, are you just going to pretend I don’t exist?” I asked trying to prompt her to answer me.“You, Violet, no longer exist,” her reply was soft and sad but even so, this time I remained quiet. Once again Raja rele
-Angelica-“I know that it’s hard to lose a home, a family member, a friend,” the pack leader of the Wave Water pack said. “But what has happened these past few days made me realize a lot of things. I would rather lose my position just to make sure that I would be keeping you safe.”The murmurs of his people became louder and louder by the second. “I have thought about my next step long and hard. This decision isn’t something I made without thinking about all the possibilities, all the options, and all the consequences I could come up with,” he paused as he looked at his people one by one. I continued to hide behind the tall bulky guy in front of me as I let my eyes roam the stage and never stopped until I saw who I was looking for. Behind the Alpha of the Water Wave pack sat both Stefan and Ethan. Stefan wears his usual poker face but Ethan doesn’t even try to hide the fact that he hasn’t slept in days.On each side of Stefan and Ethan sat the leaders of the vampire clan in their
-Angelica-As my truck passed by the entrance, I was expecting that it would bring me straight to the pack house but I was wrong. That’s when I realized that there were a lot of things that I didn’t know about Stefan’s pack. All new members of the pack were not brought directly to the center of the pack but how they had their own specific place where they would stay.In my years in this pack, I never knew that such a place existed. Still, I was glad that I was able to come back with no hassle and that no one knew who I really was.We were asked to gather near what seemed to be a small square within the pack. Another thing that I didn’t know existed. A man stood on top of a small makeshift stage and started to make an announcement.“Welcome to Blue River Pack,” the man shouted. “We are all happy to welcome you here and be part of our pack.”Everyone around me cheered, some were even excited to be acknowledged and be part of the pack. “Now, to know where you will be staying and to ma
-Angelica-Martha had given me a tour of the place where I will be working. And that’s when new information has arisen. I found out that there are three levels in the Blue River pack. The third level is where I am located. At this level, every new member of the pack is trained for the usual tasks that everyone in the pack performs and at the same time their loyalty is being tested. It is also the level where the new ones are not asked to swear their loyalty for a reason that they might change their mind. Martha said that joining the pack should be done freely, it was what their Alpha wanted. She said that he wanted everyone in his pack to want to be in his pack, and not by force.“So how’s the Alpha?” I asked as we sat at the corner of the kitchen peeling potatoes, one of the tasks that was assigned to me. “The Alpha?” Martha said looking up, “You know, the Alpha is one of the best people I have known. Did you know why I am here?” I shook my head as I picked up another potato to pe
