EDEN POVWe had walked for a while and I decided to ask Scott how far we had gone. "How far have we gone?" I asked, sipping from the water can I had grabbed from my bag a few seconds ago. Scott glanced at the map he had been holding, tracing his finger along the route we had taken so far. He looked up at me with a thoughtful expression, his eyes squinting under the dream sunlight."I'd say we've covered about twenty-six miles," Scott replied, adjusting the strap of his backpack. "We're making good progress, but we still have a long way to go.""Two hours more, you think you can handle it?" He questioned. I nodded, taking another sip of water to quench my thirst. The heat was unforgiving, and the sweat on my forehead was evidence of the challenging journey we had embarked on. As we continued walking, the leaves shifted beneath our feet, each step taking us closer to our destination.I was getting tired on the legs but I needed to keep up because I knew Scott wasn't going to liste
EDEN POVIt's been an hour since I laid under the soft blanket but I couldn't sleep because my thoughts kept wandering back to what had transpired an hour ago. Scott had specifically told everyone to have a nice rest because tomorrow we were setting out a little early. I sat up a little to notice that everywhere had gone dark and the only noise was that from the insect. The sky glittered with so many stars. My eyes glared around to see how everyone was faring. They all seemed to be deeply asleep but apart from me, my attention instantly stopped when they landed on everyone but not Scott.I almost screamed when a hand I hadn't noticed slightly touched me, I looked beside me to notice Scott who seemed to be sleeping peacefully. He seemed comfortable while he slept and I, on the other hand, was miserable. I kept looking at his face a few times wondering why he was sleeping next to me, instead of with the rest of the group.The thought nagged at me, and curiosity got the better of me.
EDEN POVInside the cottage, the atmosphere was dimly lit by candles placed strategically around the room. The air felt thick with an otherworldly presence, and a gentle breeze rustled the curtains. The scent of herbs grew stronger, mingling with the earthy smell of the forest.As my eyes adjusted to the low light, I noticed shelves filled with potions, books, and various mystical objects. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries depicting ancient symbols and mystical creatures.We all halted our steps the moment a young petite woman in her late twenties came out of nowhere. I tend to stare at her in shock because she was obviously a beautiful witch. I had been imagining her to be old with wrinkled skin, more like a grandma.The young witch approached us with a graceful stride, her long dark hair cascading down her back. Her eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint, and a touch of enchantment. She wore a flowing gown adorned with intricate patterns and shimmering threads, giv
EDEN POVThe moment we were out of the Cottage, Scott had strode towards his warriors.I tried to train my aching hands which had been freed finally. I watched as he yelled and instructed his warriors to stay alert while we headed back, he seemed to be acting way differently. I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Scott's sudden change in demeanor had caught me off guard. He was usually calm and composed, but now he appeared tense and agitated. It was as if something had shifted within him, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to his behavior than met the eye.Leon, always perceptive and intuitive, sensed my curiosity and concern. He placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder and gave me a subtle shake of his head. I understood his message: now was not the time to question Scott or bring up my observations. There was something going on, something that Leon seemed to be aware of, and he believed it was best for me to remain silent for the moment.°°°By the time
EDEN POVI simply tried to quickly brush the conversation about the "rebirth" talk with Scott. "Hmmm, I think it might be getting cold already. Why don't we head back?" I said rubbing my arms together.Scott simply gave an approving nod.The moment we got back, everyone seemed to have fallen asleep. Today had been one of a hectic day and my body screamed for rest, but my mind was restless. I couldn't shake off the thoughts and questions that had plagued me ever since the talk about the "rebirth" began.I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. It was as if there was a hidden danger lurking beneath the surface, waiting to reveal itself. The others seemed so eager and excited about the prospect of today but I couldn't shake off this nagging feeling that we were playing with forces beyond our comprehension.The events of the day played in my mind like a movie reel. The discussions, the theories, the excitement in everyone's voices while we headed back to the shelter. But amidst a
EDEN POVThe next morning we had set out to go back to our pack. We had taken another shorter route so we could get back before dawn. Scott seemed to be in the front while he stared at the paper map in his hand. "So, what is your pack like?" I asked Leon.Leon glanced at me, his eyes reflecting a mixture of pride and nostalgia.I stared back at him waiting for his response. Leon and I had met the first time Scott had sent him to relay a message to me, meeting him during this short trip made me a little guilty of our first encounter. "Our pack is quite unique," he began, his voice carrying a hint of warmth. "We are a tight-knit group of individuals who have come together to form a family, bound by our shared love for the wilderness and our inherent wolf nature."He paused for a moment, as if collecting his thoughts before continuing. "In terms of structure, we have an alpha pair that leads the pack. Currently, Scott and I fulfill those roles. We make decisions for the pack, ensure
EDEN POVI was getting tired of hours of being in the sunny woods but soon, a pack different from the one I recognized as Silver moon pack became visible. As I looked at the pack approaching us, I noticed that it was indeed different from the Silver Moon pack I was familiar with. The wolves had distinct markings and a different aura about them. Intrigued, I turned to Scott, who seemed to be taking pride in the sight before us.My curiosity couldn't contend itself as I asked Scott what pack we had arrived at. "The Moon Star Pack!" he responded. "Who's pack?" I questioned back. "It's all mine, what do you think?" Scott exclaimed proudly, his voice tinged with satisfaction."I can't help but to say wow, the aura of the wolves here is different!" I responded, staring at them with amusement in my eyes. Scott grinned, his chest puffed up with pride. "That's because this is the Moon Star pack," he said, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "They're known for their unique markings and their
EDEN POV"Hey, I'm Scott's brother. You can call me Cameron!" He said as he edged towards where I stood, his hands gently held mine into his before leaving a soft kiss on them."If my brother keeps being an ass to you, it won't mean I will!" He said with a tensed stare that crept a little smile on my lips. "That's enough introduction already," Scott chipped in instantly as he held my hands and pulled me towards his side. A chuckle escaped Cameron's lips while his hands went above his head in surrender. "Don't forget, I'm always here!" Cameron said yet again with a wink."I don't think there would be a need for that, Cameron, Fiona isn't that kind of girl!" Scott said and I instantly wondered why he would defend someone he wasn't interested in. And what did he mean by 'I wasn't the type of girl?'As the conversation unfolded, it seemed that Cameron was making an effort to establish a connection with me.He seemed to be showing a more amiable and supportive attitude compared to his
