At the AcademyYuna's POVAfter what seemed like hours, which was probably just an hour, Calvin was now calm and had no more questions. He believed that I was doing this to go back with Astrid and he was scared. But I had to show my honesty if I had to lie.I assured him that I knew what I was doing and if anything or anyone seemed like danger, Calvin would be the first person I would call. He was hesitant, but he stopped protesting. Probably, because he thought that he should not cross a boundary which I didn't mind. Since, having his company and friendship was something I used to crave back in the days when we were in high school together.In my previous life, he was a charm of the whole campus, the cool guy in everyone's eyes. Everyone wanted to be on his good side. He was a good student, a diligent and dedicated sports player and a good company to be with.But that was just a façade. He used to bully his juniors and classmates, including me. And Mia was his rumoured girlfriend. Bo
Out in the SnowYuna's POVI closed my eyes as I muttered the last words which were just to myself and stood straight for any harmful impact but a few more seconds passed with no movements around me. I could hear the chattering of the students going on casually and I opened my eyes to see Alice looking at me with wide eyes."What did you say?" She asked, voice laced with disbelief and shock. I did not utter a single word and just stood and looked at her. It took me a while to realise that this Alice would not hurt me and I started wishing that she hadn't heard anything that I muttered under my breath."W-What?" I asked her back, pretending to play dumb."Nevermind." She spoke after a long pause while frowning at me. She walked away without another glance at anyone and I wanted to slap myself."Why would you think that she would hurt you?" Harry asked. He sounded concerned as walked close to me and placed his palms on either sides on my arms gently."She won't. I don't know why I said
Yuna's POVI couldn't help but smile at the way Alice was sulking as she walked away from me. How did I ignore this little information that Alice's cheeks fluffed whenever she was sulking because of the way she rested her lower jaws upon the upper part her teeth.I giggled which grabbed Harry's attention and he snapped his head in my direction and said, "You're so evil." And sighed. "What? Why?" I spoke in my defense but I was still smiling."She's mad at you. She looked like she might cry anytime and you're laughing?" Harry said with a frown."Aww are you mad too?" I laughed on his face and his mouth opened wide in disbelief. "You're unbelievable." He said and rolled his eyes.Harry was almost my sister's age but still a bit younger than all of us. He was 19 while me, Calvin and Mia were 25. He was too young to be in a group of hunters and to be exposed to such amount of dangers. But the amount of skills and intelligence that this young man had was irreplaceable.And Merlin knew tha
The Office roomYuna's POV"What do you think?" I asked. My heart was pumping like crazy in my chest that I was afraid Mia might hear it but I kept taking silent long breaths to calm myself. There was no way they could find out, could they? I don't have bed intentions! "The underground beings." He said. I visibly gulped and looked down with wide eyes. He guessed it. He freaking guessed it."But aren't they locked up with our the werewolves combined runes?" Mia asked and I looked up.Runes? Humans and Werewolves together chanted runes to lock the doors of underground world to this world? I recalled a time when the one of the strongest hunters and Merlin's friend, Hannah Lima's father, along with the werewolves kingdom Sui Generis previous Alpha Lord, Lauren Kessler — Astrid's father, chanted the runes of both of their ancient magical books to seal the lock of the door which separates Underground creatures world with human and Werewolves world.During that time, werewolves and humans
The bedroom at nightYuna's POVIt was past midnight and I was inspecting the supplies that were being taken inside the academy basement where usually all the weapons are locked as safeguard.Mia told me about our next plan which included our large groups of soldiers to be divided into two, one of which would be gone to the borders of Chile to warn the stray wolves about one lurking underground creature in the human world, expecting them to pass this message to the Lord.The plan was risky and chances of survival was very short but they had to give a try. Nobody knew who was the one who provoked the other specie except me, but right now that was not the matter. The werewolves and the humans had to join hands to take hold of this situation because even werewolves, with their powers, alone cannot compete with these creatures, let alone humans — who have no superpower but just unique weapons.The stray wolves were expected to stop for once and listen to us and if that did not work, then
Town hallAstrid's POVIt was close to midnight when I got a call from Ulfred that I along with the committee members had to be present at the town hall for an urgent matter. I could not pinpoint what Ulfred had come across but I could imagine it was something very shocking for him to consider waking us up late at night in this heavy snow. Though the winters did not affect us in our original form but it did impact us in our human form. Dropping the idea of turning into a wolf form, I took quick steps towards the car which Butler Bose had prepared."Sorry to disturb you late at night, but thank you." I said the words quickly and sat inside. Butler Bose sat in the front and smiled."Your wish is my command, My Lord." He said and gently and started the car. Even though Butler Bose was close to his 50s, man still was not tired of living or this job, he loved living in the palace and doing his job.I glanced out the window and saw the light snowflakes falling silently at the quiet night an
Astrid's POV"I'm sorry, my Lord." Ulfred quickly spoke. "I just took a day off and replaced myself with my best man not aware that so many things would happen at once. And that was why I returned today and called this meeting to make everyone aware of this."I rubbed my temples with my fingers and thumb and sighed. There was no clue about the killer of the town, Gabriella was missing, Yuna had run away, the seal on the door is in danger, stray wolves had been acting suspicious and we were nowhere close to finding anything that was going on.And I cannot let any of this take a toll on me. My people needed me and time was running thin. I would have to alert father about this messed up situation."Okay, Ulfred. First thing tomorrow at midnight, you will gather the stray wolves and talk to them. Try to see if they can tell you anything about leaving the kingdom and coming back." I said and he nodded.I turned to the head soldier, "Head soldier, you will take your troops to the sealed doo
The sealed DoorYuna's POVDeciding not to argue to waste our time in finding solution to it, we finally divided into two groups further and the information was passed onto Merlin. Med Lauren had two locations, one was the door that opened to his world and other was the society we hunters lived in. The Faithful Gates. I had no idea what he wanted to do there since the people and the hunters taking a break would kill him but there were also families of the hunters and we could not risk the innocent people's lives and there was no way we could contact them at this time so we had to move fast.I, along with Calvin were headed towards the sealed door with half of the soldiers while the remaining soldiers went with Mia, Harry and Alice. It was very risky but we had no choice. That wild creature was playing with us. We took the van and headed in that direction while Calvin gave coordinates to Merlin and they kept the tab.Finally we reached the sealed door which did not look like a door bu
