I’ve been trying to sleep for so long, but it gets harder the more I try. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Jean told me. She was in an on and iff relationship with Mike? How was that even possible? The little I knew of Mike, I felt he was honest, and he wasn’t someone that did things on impulse. I wanted to believe that he was true to himself and his feelings, but what I was seeing now isn’t what I thought it was. “Oh, moon goddess! What do I care?” I whispered into my pillow. I shouldn’t care about any of these things. It would literally do me no good. I was the one who was creating distances between us. So, it was only natural that he would seek closure with his ex. “Get the hell out of my sight woman,” a voice rang out. I frowned slightly. What was that? That voice belonged to Mike. I was so certain about it. Why was he in such a bad mood? Did Jean break his heart for the billionth time? I gritted my teeth as my head bore deeper into the pillow. I’ve officially
MIKE Those eyes had so much hurt in them, and that made me feel more guilty than I could have been. She must have heard everything, and jumped to conclusions concerning the same, and that shook me to the core. I had no idea what to say now that things has escalated to this extent. I only hoped things got better from here. “Baby, what are you looking at?” Jean whined. I glared at her, and then moved forward as quickly as I could, pushing her aside. She screamed at me to stop, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t feed into her sickness more than it was necessary. It was already costing me so much as it is, and I didn’t want it to get worse. The figure ran as she could. I chased after her. “Maya, please stop!” I cried after her. The waves of her hair was my only answer. She ran like her life depended on it, but I was equally fast. I was gaining ground just as fast, and I was determined not to let her get into the warehouse till we had our talk. I couldn’t bear her misunderstanding me
IAN The chugs of beer lay in front of me and the boys as we squabbled jokes like dice between us. It was suddenly needed because we haven’t figured out were the werewolves were. We were in the dark. “Can I come in?” A feminine voice sounded. We stopped our laidback mood, and got alert immediately. Hopefully, the bitch hadn’t figured out that she had been played right into our hands. That would suck big time. “Don’t say a word. She is mine,” I said softly. “Yes, you can dear,” I said calmly. The door swung open, and Chloe stepped in. She was looking like a whole mess. Her hair was all over the place, and her clothes looked like it had been into dry mud and back, plus I could see some blood clots around her. “You look terrible,” I said, rising to my feet. “Thanks for the compliment, Ian,” she said sarcastically. I walked over to her, and then helped her to a black seat. Thankfully, Marcus wasn’t around. I signalled to the boys to leave. Chloe didn’t like too much crowd,
MAYA I sat at the centre of the table with the pack members, eating grilled pork and chicken legs glumly. This wasn’t how I wanted to spend my college year. I wanted to be happy and bubbly as they come, but now, that wasn’t ever going to happen. The worst was that no-one around the table was happy. Everyone had some inner demons they were fighting. The war wasn’t healthy at all, and we have lost a few more people along the way. I also heard that the werewolf hunters weren’t giving up. Chloe’s dad had sent a couple of resources to track us, and we have no choice but to stay as low key as possible. “Stop stabbing into your food. Try to eat more,” Mike said in the middle of nowhere. I looked at him across the table. He was seated beside Jean who had made it a point to glare at me through the course of this meal. I need to have a talk with her because this was getting out of hand. Mike was swallowing one of the pork, and chasing it with a glass of wine. Why did he need to ask me a
The rage in me was so strong, and I didn’t know how best to control it. All I knew I wanted to hit Jean, and cause her so much pain. I could see her a bit despite the food particles on my face. She was glaring at me with so much hate in her expression. I couldn’t stop it, despite hearing Mike authoritative voice trying to calm me down. All I thought was trying to strangle Jean. How dare she talk to me like that? I dived forward, almost at the same time Jean did. She held my hands behind my back using one hand. I tried to free myself from her, but it was a bit difficult to do so. She used the other hand to rub the food deeper into my skin. I screamed at her. “Goodness!” Mike screamed behind me. I couldn’t comprehend was happening anymore as two hands grabbed me from behind with such force that knocked me off my feet. The rational part of me wanted to stop the violence, but the unhinged part wanted to fight. I wanted to win. I wanted to put Jean in her place so bad. “Stop thi
His lips were soft and manly all at once. I couldn’t help but bite him on his lower lip. His soft moan took me by surprise, and softly he pulled back, only to rub his nose on mine. “Babe,” he said softly. “Babe?” I asked slowly. “Yes, you’re my babe.” He pulled back completely, and we just looked into each other’s eyes. I know we haven’t defined our relationship, but still I felt the butterflies as we just went lost in our eyes. “I know all this is so intense, and we literally don’t know what we are doing, or where we are heading to, but trust me, I won’t do something that you’re not ok with. I’m not with Jean, and I can’t think of being with another person other than you.” I blinked twice. This was the most that Mike has ever come to in this thing called relationship that we were doing. I felt like I was dreaming, but I also knew this was a reality. “Do you promise that if you have doubts, you will come to me?” He looked at me so intensely, with his lips upturned. “I
There was just an inch space that separated me from Mike. I spent the whole time I was in the room with him looking right at his face. He had the most beautiful facial structures that I have ever seen, and I wanted nothing more but to look at him till I had my feel. His lips were plump, and so kissable. I wanted to bite it, and suck it. The thoughts swimming in my head looked like it belonged to someone else, but I knew it was all me. I felt so starved. It was so silly of me to think that there was something going on between Mike and Jean. All those times, he had only had eyes for me. I remember he almost lost control of himself in jealousy. I wouldn’t make this mistake once more. My hands shot forward before I could stop myself. I caressed his lips with them. He looked at me through the corner of his eyes, and slowly brought his tongue to lick my fingers in a soft kiss. I retracted my hands, and stood to my feet, while he looked like he wanted to pull me over his knees and do
His pain made my heart bleed. I could literally taste it, and it was the weirdest thing that had ever happened to me. I wanted him to be happy and have some form of peace, but it was increasingly difficult to achieve. “Maya, I wish that this whole mess never happened," Mike said softly. I nodded against his chest. “Me too.” “I will protect you from the hell that’s going on now. Trust me Maya. I won’t lose you like I lost my parents.” “I know. I’m positive that you will do all you can to make me happy. I know I can always count on you Mike. You’ve done so much for me. You’ve been my source of strength,” I whispered softly. He squeezed my arm. “Hopefully, I will keep being that for us,” he said softly. I rubbed his chest. “I will figure how to handle the issues surrounding my parents. Go to sleep now. It’s a long day ahead tomorrow.” I nodded. I nodded, as he turned off the light. I closed my eyes tightly as I knew he would be doing too. I didn’t want to think about anything
MIKE There was one thing for sure, I don’t have the courage to do anything I want, and that wasn’t right. I wished I could just go over to Maya’s place, but the truth was that I couldn’t face her. After all the wild talks in my head, I had not been able to get the courage to do anything. “Mike, why are you sitting here by yourself?” I looked up and noted that James was staring at me like he knew all of my secrets, but the truth was that he knew nothing. I should be the one looking at him that way, because he had become a shell of himself, and it was not really because the pack had failed to accept him. There was something else that was going on, and I had no idea what that was. I just knew I couldn’t afford for anything to go wrong this time. “What? Say something?” James said softly. I sighed as I looked away from him, towards the pack members. They were busy doing their things, and I saw Ginny, she was looking restless. I had a feeling that trapping her wolf inside her fo
I stood there in the cavern, my heart racing and my mind struggling to comprehend what was happening. I had no idea where I was or how I had ended up in this strange, otherworldly place. All around me, the walls of the cavern rose up high, towering over me like the jaws of some great beast. As I took in my surroundings, I realized that this was no ordinary cave. The air was thick and heavy, with a strange energy that seemed to pulse through the rocks themselves. The walls were covered in strange, glowing moss that cast an eerie blue light over everything. I looked down at the ground and gasped in amazement. It was as if I had been transported to another planet entirely. The soil was a deep shade of purple, and strange plants grew up out of the ground like twisted, alien versions of earth flora. The air was filled with the sounds of strange creatures, their calls echoing off the cavern walls. I took a step forward, feeling the weight of my fear bearing down on me with each passin
MAYA'S POV. I found myself in a strange room, completely disoriented and confused. My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The room was small and cramped, with peeling paint and dusty corners. It looked like it hadn't been used in years. The only light came from a small window high up on the wall, casting an eerie glow across the space. I tried to remember how I got here, but everything was a blur. I couldn't recall any details, just a sense of unease that had been growing inside me for some time. As I looked around, I noticed that there was only one way out - a heavy wooden door that looked like it had been there for centuries. I approached it tentatively, feeling a sense of foreboding in the pit of my stomach. As I reached for the handle, the door suddenly shut with a loud thud. I jumped back in fright, my heart racing even faster now. I tried to open it again, but it wouldn't budge. I pushed and pulled with all my might, but it seemed to be l
MIKE I was seated at the back of the meeting room with the elders as we planned how we were going to get food supplies. The last time had not being favourable for us. It still made me so angry how everything had turned on its head. I didn’t like it one bit, but there was nothing I could do to change the dynamics. “This issue has been persistent. We are werewolves, and our strengths grows with food. Think about what would happen if we don’t have foodstuffs in the coming week. We would be too weak to go to battle and our enemies would have a greater hand over us. I don’t think that any of us wants that at this point,” one of the elders pointed out. We all agreed to that. Despite my earlier resolve, I was thinking of a way out. The strongest of us could get the food items instead of all of sending the weak links. It won’t be nice if we endangered more of our members just to satisfy out cravings. “Elder,” Adams said. “I think the best thing is do is laying low for some time. The w
THE BEAST Its big disgusting foot moved through the wild as it sought to take a creature into its worm-infested mouth. It was as thorough as ever owing to the many things that had come out of it loins. The animals and insects fled as he came around because it was a gruesome sight to behold. There was no-one who could have been there to understand what all these meant. It was an inexcusable thing, disgusting to say the least. His hands like big bloated wounds brushed the trees as he was in search of just one person: James. It was the only reason that the beast had come to Spadeville. He wanted nothing more than for James to be his snack. The beast could not stand to be in the same space with James. And, he was going to completely destroy him till the end of time. There was no way that James would escape this predator. The beast moved like he owned the place, and then with two of its fingers, it grabbed a baby goat, and that was enough to destroy it all. It was as brutal as br
MAYA My hands slowly touched the bucket handle as I pulled it into the room. There was a ting of nervousness as she stepped into the room. I sniffed in a cobweb, and in response, I coughed continuously and sneezed. I felt like I was in a bubble though I wasn’t really in one. Yet, the feeling was quite intense, and sporadic. My hands flickered upwards as I slowly cleaned the spot till it was enough for me to move forward. Dropping the bucket down, she stepped further into the room. It looked like a room reserved for queens. It was so beautiful and amazing.Yet, caked in dust. The cobweb was like a mask around it, but it didn’t completely dampen the beauty of the whole room. Instead, it made everything seem like it was worth so much. It looked completely beautiful and intense at that very moment. I stepped in further into the room, and took in the spaces. Everything was so nice and hectic at the same time. It was so crazy how much beauty was stored in the midst of dust, and I cou
Maya nervously approached the front door of her small apartment building, knowing that Ian was likely waiting for her on the other side. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door, immediately spotting Ian standing in the entryway, arms crossed and a stern look etched onto his face. Maya's stomach twisted with fear at the sight of him, and she paused uncertainly, unsure of how to approach him. Ian's eyes bore into her, and Maya felt like a mouse caught in a trap. She could see the disappointment and anger in his expression, and it only made her feel more guilty for having snuck out of the apartment. She swallowed hard and tried to muster up the courage to speak, but no words came out. "Where have you been?" Ian asked, his voice low and dangerous. The stern look on his face intensified, making Maya feel even more intimidated. She tried to think of something to say, some excuse that would make him go easier on her, but her mind drew a blank. "I just wanted to take a walk," Ma
IAN I have been watching them for so long, and they didn’t seem to be heading anywhere. When would these idiots go in, so I can find out the truth about all these? I hated all these, and I hated Maya and Mike the most. They had the guts to keep playing me and I wouldn’t let it slide. I was going to make sure that they got the tip of their medicine. I would make sure that nothing good comes out of their lives. My fingers slowly encircled the tree branch in rage. I watched as Mike spat some words and pushed Maya to the ground. It was shocking, but I didn’t care. It should all be an act. They were both trying to stay safe. With great pains Maya and Mike mumbled some words, but he angrily worked out to the chair, and sat down painfully. I felt the pain and sadness all at once. I felt like everything was really going down on him, and there was no way out for him. It was the worst thing that could ever happen to someone, but I honestly didn’t feel bad, but relieve at it all. Maya wa
MAYA I pulled him towards me to face me squarely. He glared at me, and despite how intimidating he looked, I wanted to kiss him so bad. I wanted him to see how much he affected me till my roots. I wanted him to understand the feelings that I had inside of me. “I want you to try to put everything that you may be feeling right now at the back of you, and please listen to me,” I said softly. He scoffed. I placed my hands on either side of his cheeks as I tried to make him face me. There was this fear in my heart that I was trying to pull down, and I was failing to do so. How could this keep happening? There is no way I would make this keep happening. I’m going to do all I could to make him see reason. He needed to see my love for him, and how much I cared for him. He needed to see that I didn’t wish him any evil, and I was so in love with him. This would be my hope, for him to see the truth and understand where my heart was. I just wanted everything to be ok, and that no evil was
