SORENIt was pretty late by the time Amira and I made our way back to the pack. It was very quiet now as most of the pack members had retired for the night.“We spent a lot of time up there” Amira commented with a small chuckle as we approached the pack house.We hadn’t passed any pack members that wasn’t on the patrol team yet. I knew my mother would be worrying and sure that Noah was pacing since Amira was still outside.We hadn’t intended to stay out this late but we had gotten caught up in talking about childhood memories that we lost track of time.It wasn’t until we overheard the border patrol switching shifts that we realized how late it was.“I know right?” I said with a smile of my own “Noah must be pacing. Has he tried to contact you? My mom has been trying to reach me through the mind link. I left my phone at home too” I said with a snicker as I could feel my mom probing at the wall, I had put up in my mind link.“I’m leaving” Amira said with a dark tone. I turned to her to
AMIRAI had lost count of how many times I had sighed in the last ten minutes. It was time to water Dad’s plants, a task that shouldn’t take me more than a few minutes, but I’d been crouched in the middle of the small garden for almost an hour, unable to do anything.“What is wrong with me?” I muttered angrily as I plopped onto the floor instead of standing up and getting some work done.It wasn’t as though I had no idea of what was wrong with me. I knew but I hated that it was such an issue that wasn’t letting me get any work done.I couldn’t get the image of Ivannah and Soren hugging out of my head. I was so jealous even when I knew I had no right to be but I couldn’t help it.I promised myself that I wouldn’t turn back after I walked away last night, but I couldn’t stop myself from turning back at the last minut
AMIRAI locked myself in my room and buried my head in my books. I decided to study so I could take my mind off everything that’s been bothering me lately.There was a knock on the door, breaking my concentration and I looked up from the pages of my book for the first time in over an hour.“Come in” I called and twisted in my seat so I was facing the door which allowed me to see who was coming in more easily.Koi entered with a cheeky grin on his face and I knew he was up to no good.“I’m not going to be one of your victims today. I have to study” I groaned playfully, eyeing the hand that was hidden behind his back.“I promise I’m not here to pull tricks” he chuckled, glancing towards the opened books on my table. “Studying?”“Yes” I whined, before closing the opened book, knowing that there was no way I was going to get any more work done with Koa here. “I had nothing else to do”“Ami, I’m sure you are the only one in the entire pack who studies when they are bored” he chuckled, taki
SORENI finished training and decided to go in search of Amira. We were supposed to train together but the instructor had insisted that we trained without her to work on my self-control without her present.I wasn’t happy with the idea, but I also wanted to test my limits, so I agreed, and it turned out to be better than I had expected. I thought I would have been easily angered by the teacher and lash out, but he had been really patient with me, and we went through the entire training without any issues.Their apartment looked empty when I arrived, so I decided to go inside the house without knocking just in case Ami had buried herself in her books and music. She was addicted to music and couldn’t almost not study without them.I had no idea how she managed because goddess knows I’ll close my book and focus on the music instead if it was me.My face contorted into a frown when I opened her bedroom door, and the room was empty.“Soren?” I turned to see Noah with a smile on his face “A
AMIRA“Amira, where are you? You’ve spent over an hour there already” Dad asked through the mind link in a worried tone.“The queue is very long, dad but it’s almost my turn. I’ll be on my way home soon” I told him with a tired voice.Dad asked me to go to the major store inside town to get him some things but today was Saturday so almost every family was doing their shopping to stock their houses since the shop wasn’t open on Sundays.I couldn’t remember the last time I came here on a Sunday so I had forgotten how crowded it got and I wasn’t happy at all because I had been standing for over thirty minutes just to get to the counter so I could pay for my stuff.Mr Azariel needed to get more people working at the counters because there were not enough to hold it during the weekends.“Just hurry back. It’s almost late. You know I don’t want you to walk back here from town when its late”“I know Dad. I promise I’ll be home soon” I assured him, glancing outside the shop at the sky that wa
AMIRAI ran the rest way home, throwing my plans to take a walk into the bin after what happened. Ever since I discovered that I could manipulate people into doing what I wanted at the age of 10, I’ve never used it again.And no, that is not the reason why I was able to get Soren to calm down. I had never used my powers on him or anyone else and I planned to never use it because I hated to control people into doing what I wanted.I discovered my powers when I was playing with another pup from the pack. Dad took me to the park to play when the boy had taken my doll. I got angry and commanded him to give it to me.I remember being so scared at how lifeless he looked when he handed the doll over and walked to his mother.Dad had been the only one to see the entire thing. He had picked me up and held me in his arms as he ran home, locked us in the room and warned me never to tell anyone about what I could do if I didn’t want the alpha to kill the both of us.Ever since that time, I had ne
SOREN“That’s amazing, Soren. You’ve cleared the stage alone and can now proceed to level 3 difficulty solo rescue mission” Elris announced once I reached the final point of the stage.I was panting with sweat dripping down my hair down to my waist. The level I had just cleared was almost impossible to do alone and in human form but I had so much anger in me lately to be let out and I channeled it into the level and managed to clear it.I found myself getting angry very easily these past few days. I knew I always had bad anger issues but recently, the littlest things were pissing me off and I was getting more worried with my birthday drawing close.Now, I kept pondering about what Ruelle said about something big happening on my birthday. I wondered if it would be me doing harm to my pack and friends.“Soren!” Amira gasped in surprise when I turned to see her stepping into the simulation room with a shocked look on her face.She glanced at the ceiling where the level was displayed with
AMIRAI walked out of Sparta without another word to Soren because I felt like if I had talked at that point, I would have said something I would regret and I didn’t want that.The hurt look on Soren’s face was stuck in my head but there was nothing I could do to prevent him getting hurt. It was either walking away or saying harsh words and I would always choose the former.I was embarrassed and frustrated at myself and my performance in Sparta. It was my lowest score ever and I knew it was because I had been distracted.No matter how I tried to avoid it, I kept visiting the night where I had carelessly used my powers and almost put my family in danger because of it.I had told myself a million and one times that I did the right thing but my father’s explanations kept coming to my head and I hated that now he sounded more logical and correct.It would have been easy for me to handle those drunk men without using my powers. I had travelled past my angry stage and now I felt guilty and
AMIRA“Are you ready, children?” Inara asked, her white hair and white eyes glowing under the moon.“Yes” We chorused.I was nervous and I was certain I wasn’t the only one who shared that feeling. This was the first time we were going to cross realms and we were going alone.Inara, the pack seer was going to cast a spell to open a portal that would take us to the human world. Apart from being a seer, she could also cast some spells.I guess you could say that Inara could be likened to a witch except witches had no wolf but she does and she was more powerful that the average witch.Inara closed her eyes and began to chant in a strange language we couldn’t understand. We were doing this in front of Inara’s hut since she didn’t like to venture far from it.A small portal appeared before us. I looked inside but there was nothing in it. It made me wonder if we were being transported to the dark forest directly.“The portal would remain open for the next three hours so you have to do whate
SOREN“Soren, your father calls for you” a pack member nudged me softly, drawing me out of my head.That was all I seemed to be able to do lately. The worries had piled up to the extent that I spent days thinking about everything but finding no answers.“Thank you, Jom. I’ll go and see him now” I told the young wolf who nodded before he scurried off.I got on my feet to go to my father knowing that if I lingered, I may forget about it when my thoughts invaded my reality again.My father was in his office and I knocked twice when I arrived to inform him that I was here.“Come in, Soren” He called from behind the door and I opened it and stepped into the office that would become mine when I took over the pack.“You called for me?” I asked, taking the seat, he gestured to with a frown on my face. I didn’t like meeting with my father because the majority of the time when he called for me, it was never good.“Yes. There is something urgent I must talk to you about” He finally lifted his he
AMIRAIt was barely one hour into the date and I already felt like I could be somewhere else instead of here. I wanted to go home.It was stupid of me to think that I could sit for goddess knows how long and watch Ivannah rub herself all over Soren while he sat there with his wandering thoughts, not giving a care about what she was doing.“Is he okay?” Koa whispered to me while he nudged his head at Soren who was sitting opposite us with Ivannah wrapped around his hand as she talked his ears off about a topic, I had no knowledge of.“I don’t know. He wouldn’t talk to me” I told him with a worried sigh as I glanced at Soren again.Koa turned his attention to Ivannah who called his name and they began to talk. I turned my attention back to Soren.“Hey” I called through our private min link and his eyes snapped to me “You’ve been distracted all evening. Are you okay?”Soren smiled, his eyes lighting up for the first time that night and pride bloomed in my chest that I was able to make hi
