The Hart Family in under heatIn the woodland clan, inside the Hart residence, there was utter tension. The Harts were under pressure in the clan as many started avoiding them. Whenever they went to their town, they found that people did not respond to them when they talked. Old madam Hart, who had been living in seclusion since her husband died, had even gotten the news and made the journey to visit them. When she walked into their house that day, Venus dropped a glass in shock.“What are you standing around for? Call everyone up,” Old madam Hart said and took a seat and waited. It did not take long for Anthony to appear as well as his other four children.“Mother,” Anthony said.“You had been the one to throw Bertha out of the clan?” she asked and Anthony paused.“Yes,” he answered.Old madam Hart smashed a cup. She had never thought that he would actually throw Bertha out.“Because she was weak? Just because of that?” she asked and Anthony raised a brow.“Mother, you should alrea
ComaThe Hart family gathered outside under the full moon for a wolf's call. This was a ceremony done to lure lost wolves home.With the fire burning between them and the moon shining down on them, they all scratched their arm and dropped some blood into old Madam Hart’s hand, who then changes to her wolf form and howls to the moon.Far away in the city, Bertha was asleep in her hospital room when her dreams morphed.In the depths of her mind between dream and reality, an old woman stepped out from the mist.Between her and the old woman stood a large stream, stopping the old lady from approaching closer.Bertha suddenly understood what this was. This was a wolf's call that could only be used a few times in one’s lifetime.She was confused why her grandmother would use this to find her.This old lady has been absent for years. Why did she call?“Why are you here?” she asked the old lady.“You really have no manners,” the person on the other end said.“If you have nothing to say, I am
Her mother’s past.They arrived at the hospital in a rush. Emerald rushed over to see her mother, while Matthew handled the transfer. By the time he returned to her side, the doctors were preparing to move Bertha.This was the first time Matthew had seen Bertha. The moment he saw her, he froze. Emerald did not notice his reaction as she hurried towards him.“What are they doing?” she asked as the doctors started moving the patient.“It is best she is treated at our family hospital,” he said to her and she thought his words made sense.“What about her previous doctors?” she asked.“We can always consult with them later,” he said as he leaned in, “You should already know we want to do more than treat her,”His words made her pause. True. Matthew suspected her mother was a werewolf. Bertha was transferred via a chopper to the Moonside clinic. They followed while Matthew chatted with Ray on the phone, making her severely uncomfortable. She could see his frowning face which was much diffe
Bertha’s nightmare.Right then, a light enveloped Bertha and Ray paused“Your mother is here,” he said.“I know that,” Emerald answered.“No, I mean, your actual mother, not a memory,”His words made her pause. Emerald walked over to her mother’s face and looked at the confused look on her face.“Mom!” She called several times. Her words seemed to get to Bertha. Her eyes started to clear up, but she suddenly heard a name.“Jack, your friend really fell into the hole,” they said and a round of laughter went around. Bertha looked up and saw the man.“Who is he?” Emerald asked, but no one could give an answer. Bertha climbed out of the hole and hurried over to Jack's side. She was not sure what the joke was and could not bring herself to laugh with them.“What is happening, Jack?” she asked, “What kind of tradition is this?” “The tradition is to try to jump someone, but people usually jump over the hole or something. No one really falls inside,” Jack answered and Bertha's face went re
Meeting again.Bertha looked up into a very gray familiar eyes in confusion, but the eyes looked back at her in anger. She knew these eyes. She could recognize them even in her sleep. How did this happen?Her son noticed she was lying on the person.She could see that the person she was looking at did not appreciate her lying on top of him.“You won’t get up?” he asked.“Sorry,” she said and made to get up.But when she tried to stand, the vines got in the way, making her struggle. The more she struggled, the angrier he seemed. “Do you believe I will kill you?” he asked. Bertha was instantly scared. She was sure he meant every word of that threat. His beautiful voice and beautiful eyes were a distraction, but she knew this man was dangerous.“Help me, please, the vines. I am really trying to get off,” Bertha insisted. He looked at her and pulled her off him very easily.It was as though she was light as a feather. But she was not put down, she was instead flung to an unknown direct
Her Father.Their words only confused her more. What do they mean by what they are saying?“James Grey? My Father is James Jackson,” Emerald insisted.“Your Mother, Bertha Harts, is James Grey’s mate. She disappeared at the same time as James Grey. The patriarch of the Grey Family,” Ray explained.“I don’t care who this James Grey is. My father is the second son of the Jackson family!” Emerald insisted. She knew who her father was. Though she had never met him, the idea of all this new information did not sit well with her.“Baby calm down,” Matthew tried to calm her, “There is no way your father’s energy would have allowed a foreign child that was not of his blood to survive inside your mother. So, you are his daughter.”He could not help pulling her closer for a hug. Her life was changing a bit too quickly. He understood her behavior. Her panic and confusion made his heart hurt. “You need to decide,” Ray interrupted them.“Decide what?” Emerald asked.“If I should forcibly drag yo
Awake after two decades.James woke up suddenly and found himself in his room. “Bertha? Bertha!” he called out, but found that he was not in the cave.He got up and looked around. It was night time now. He had recognized her even though she had aged. He knew that face. The woman he had spent time with in that cave was his wife, Bertha. He recalled their experience. From what he saw, she hated him. She hated his family and avoided him. Why? He got up from the bed and walked out of his room into the moonlight. He was not sure how he returned home, if what he had gone through was real or not, but right now, he needed to meet his mother. He dashed through the forest, crossing the ground in mere seconds, bursting through his father’s house by the lake. The moment he burst through, he found that a full moon meeting was going on. It seemed he had forgotten. It was at that moment that he realized that he was standing there, clear headed under a full moon. He was not the only one who rea
The Hatred Of The PastJames stared at his mother so coldly, she could not help shivering.“Father was supposed to be mated to someone else but he mistakenly became your mate. You were a lone wolf coming into a large family. So, you felt inferior. Over the years, the family declined compared to others and many thought if the father had just taken the daughter of a large family as a mate, the family would be in a better state. All my brother’s mates were prominent from homes, but I brought back a lone Wolf. You hate my wife because she was a lone wolf like you. Just because you hate yourself, my mate has to pay the price?” James asked Lilith who went stiff at his words. He looked around the family with cold eyes. “Wolves travel in packs not for safety, but for our families' safety. But when something happened to me, my family was left to fend for themselves,” he said and many looked away.They were anxious at this point. If he really left, they would fall in standing. They were a stro
