The flair of his words made me smile. Mike was literally taking me where I had no idea of. He made me feel all mushy inside. And, seeing him that way made me feel so many things at once. “I would like to go on a ride with a gentleman,” I said with a slight giggle. He winked at me. “Ok, hop on.” I walked over to him, and took the helmet from his hands. He looked so hot this morning, and I wanted to fawn over him. But, we had no time for that. He winked at me as if he read my thoughts, and I blushed in response. This was getting insane now. I climbed the bike, and wore the helmet. “Let’s go on her on a sweet ride, darling. Hold tight,” he said softly. My fingers enclosed him tightly, as he drove the bike out of the Griffin’s compound. We wound through the corners in silence, and I imagined being under Mike, as he rode me like he is riding his bike. “You’re so cute,” Mike said softly, making me blush. I had no idea why he said that out of nowhere. He wasn’t big on praises so hear
Subconsciously, I compared the feeling I felt as Ian spoke to me so intimately with how I felt when Mike held me. I was deeply confused on which was greater. Or, maybe I knew, and didn’t want to accept it. I turned my face, and softly pecked Ian on the lips. I had to know if I would be able to feel what I had felt for Mike. I felt nothing at all. It was definitely not the same, but still, I held on to the fact that Ian was my first crush. If all else failed, this much was true. “I’m glad you do,” I whispered against his lips. Ian pulled me closer to his chest, and slowly kissed me. His kisses were so different from Mike. It was sloppy without it feeling rushed. I tried to meet up with him, and not feel completely at a loss with all the kisses being showered at me right now. He softly made me balk-walk to somewhere at the back, without stopping his kisses. I forced myself to enjoy it despite the fact that I wasn’t feeling the high I felt with Mike. It was like
Classes were over, and it was time to move to the next thing. For me, the next thing was meeting Ian. We had promised to talk to each other when the day was over, and now, I wanted to really iron out things.I was still confused, but I needed to test his waters first. I know I was the cause of my confusion. I should really try to tell myself the truth, but I didn’t know how to do that. Everything was so confusing for me, and I had no idea which was the way up in this case. I only knew that I had to go through with the two guys in my life now, so I can be able to get a deeper understanding of my feelings.With that thought in mind, I ran out of the class, towards the hall, looking for Ian. I couldn’t find him n the public areas where he used to hang out. I frowned slightly.He was so angry with me for standing him up at our first date, now, he was literally doing the same thing. What should I do to him now? This was just too much at this point. I didn’t get anything.I looked around mo
The walk down to the Griffin’s home was super exhausting. I just wanted it to be done. Yet, the more I walked to the house, the more I felt like I should be somewhere else right now.I cried softly, releasing the pent-up emotions that had been holding me hostage. I had been so rude to Mike. I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have made him feel so awful because he was looking out for me. But, what could I have done? His closeness to me will only hurt him.I had no idea how to get Marcus off my back. I had to that to protect the Griffin’s; to protect Mike. Now, I don’t even know what to do. It was so frustrating being so clueless about things like this.I kicked the leaf off my path, and then my eyes narrowed on a stall that sold candy floss and other items. I could get something sweet to make my nerves slightly better. I walked towards the stall, and ordered some sweets. The man manning the desk was sweet, giving me a discount. I smiled thankfully at him, and tried to chew on the
I pushed open my door, and stepped into the room. I was so annoyed. Almost immediately, Mike followed hot after me. I swirled around to face him.“I didn’t invite you to my room, pervert,” I taunted angrily.Mike made a move towards me, but stopped at the blast of a horn. It was definitely the Griffins. He took a look at me, and then left my room as quickly as he had come.I bit down on my lower lip. I shouldn’t have called him a pervert. I was way out of line. But, there was something about Mike that made me to lose all sense when I saw him. He was just too much.I walked back to my books, and took a jotter, hoping I would be able to read something today.“Maya!” Mrs Griffin called me.I kept my mood down with a sigh. Once again, I wouldn’t be able to read anything today? I was really falling back in classes, and it wasn’t so good for me. Hopefully, that changes soon.I ran down to the sitting room, where the Griffins stood in a circle. They looked at me with a smile. I was aware tha
We walked down the path leading to the pack house. Mike had his hands behind his back. He was so defensive of me, and I had a feeling that nothing would take him unawares.“Mike,” I called suddenly.He turned to me slowly. “M? Do you want more water?”I smiled as I shook my head no. “I have an insane urge at the moment.” I looked at him and he was about to say something, so I continued. “What I’m trying to say is that, I have the urge to shape-shift. I feel like I need that so badly now.”Mike stopped in his tracks. “I’m sorry, Maya but that wouldn’t be possible.”“But, why?”He sighed slightly. “The wolf hunters are lurking around at this time. It would be so dangerous if they find us in such a situation,” he explained calmly.I sighed a bit. This was so sad. I couldn’t enjoy the fact I was a wolf now. According to Mike, the problem started because Rogues were killing the humans, or turning them for some strange motive. Now, I was at the whims of one of those rogues. I hoped all thes
For a second, I couldn’t breathe. Mike’s hands around me was the only guarantee I had that I was still alive, and breathing. My fingers clawed through his skin. I wanted to shrink into him in hope to disappear, but I was still there in the middle of the dark forest.“Mike?” I questioned, my tongue clammy in my mouth.His fingers slowly touched my arm, and then, I was thrust away from him. “Run,” he said with such urgency worse than the first time he had said that word.I didn’t wait. I ran. I could feel him behind me, hoarding me from any form of danger. It only made me run blindly. I was slightly weak thanks to the wolfsbane, but it didn’t stop me from pushing forward. I can’t stop now. I had an insane urge to look back, and see if there were any lurking dangers in the shadow, but I stilled myself against it. This wasn’t the time to let my emotions get the best of me. I need to run, and that is all I would do; run.At a boulder, before the big leap to the human world, I felt a hand
My eyes sprang open almost immediately. What was the time? I took up my alarm, and realised that it was 5 am on the dot. I was had to prepare for the next two hours. I decided not to think about anything. Rich people go to spa. I will bring mine to this house.I jumped out of bed, and wore rabbit-eared slippers. I looked around the dark room, and wondered what I would be able to do. First thing first, I will have a soft shower to clean off the stress and dirt that had accumulated on my body. I was so smart sometimes. I went to work doing all these. I poured a healthy dose of bath soap in the bath water, and then, added some salt into the bath water for good measure. My skin would look so good when I’m done.I washed off all the dirt from my body, while whistling to the tune I had known in my past. It was so good, and intense. I enjoyed the vibe I was getting, and how it made my body feel like porcelain.It was so nice to have a bathroom to yourself. I had to admit that part. No-one w
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
