BLAKEDays dragged by like an eternity as I stayed all night by Jessica's bedside, every passing moment pulled me down by guilt and anxiety. Her condition remained critical, her life hanging in the balance of life and death. Even now, I blamed myself for what happened—every bruise, every drop of blood was evidence of my failure to protect her.Reed, my Beta, took charge of pack affairs, ensuring stability while I focused solely on Jessica's health. For a while I knew I wasn't alone, and I was grateful he was able to be of help without complaining of the too much work already on his shoulders.However, Reed has been trying his best to calm me, to make me believe Jessica's condition wasn't my fault. How can I accept that fact, the bruise on her chest was from me. I should have seen it coming, I should have known Antonio was going to use her as coverage.But I couldn't. I was so blinded by anger. I was so bent on having him dead for taking Jessica away from me. And I thought I could mak
JESSICAThough I might seem to have healed, I could still feel pain in my inside, like there was still a bigger hole yet to be healed. I've been enduring the pain, most times it sends this stinging feeling that makes me want to scream my lungs out. Sometimes, I feel like running my nails on the spot and have the sensation satisfied. I could only hold back because I was a wolf, and my lazy ass wolf wasn't being a disgrace to me even though she wasn't trying so much for a wolf.It's been four days since the night I was hurt. Now you know what exactly it means to live for four good days enduring pain that would possibly be the end of you."I can heal you." Said my wolf for the nth time. And to be frank, I was damn tired of hearing that over and over again for the past five hours and yet, I still feel like my heart has been ripped apart."Come on, you've been saying that for hours now. How on earth am I supposed to believe that?" I rolled my eyes, evidently telling how fade up I was to h
BLAKEAs the full moon rose high in the night sky, Jessica's eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement which was totally different from her emotions the previous night. "Blake, I need to tell you something," she said, with a bit of childishness which was another fascinating thing about her.I feel twice as happy whenever I see her in such a mood. I wouldn't say no to such a conversation like this, I paused what I was doing to hear what she had to say."Tell me something."She took a deep breath before speaking. "Okay, here is the thing. You remember what I told you about my wolf yesterday? How she kept singing that she can help me heal?"I nodded my head. "Of course, I remember.""Well, we later figured it out together and she promised to heal me tonight, under the full moon. I don't know how it's done, but I think she knows what she's doing.""That's a great idea. I mean, I never thought of something like that." I wouldn't blame myself though. I never thought of that because I believed
BLAKEAfter seeing her wolf the previous night, I couldn't help but feel amazed. Her wolf was one of the most beautiful wolves I have seen in years. I was beginning to wonder if she was from the Winter Wolf pack, since they were the only wolf packs with the most beautiful white furs.The way the moonlight shone on her told a lot. Was she somehow connected to the moon? If yes, I doubt she knows that.My curiosity got hold of me, and I was so eager to figure it out. I couldn't help but feel drawn to her even more. I had always been fascinated by the unknown and I wanted every means to find out what was behind her wolf.The next night, I decided to observe her from afar, to see if I could uncover more secrets. Don't blame me for being this curious.She was glancing up at the sky, her eyes fixed on the moon. It was as if she was being called to it, and then... I watched as she transformed under the moonlit sky. Her wolf form was just as breathtaking as before, her eyes shone with an other
BLAKE"Well..." I heaved heavily. "The truth is, I was just curious as to how you got the white fur. I mean it's incredibly beautiful." I complimented and I watched her blush."Thank you." I didn't want to go further to tell her the real truth, until I was certain she had a connection with the moon. This wasn't just good, her powers, her personality was something that was going to save my pack for good in the future.And if only she knew...After she had left my office, I continued digging in, searching for more information that would lead to answers to my questions. After minutes of searching and finding nothing, I sighed, shoving my hair frustratedly."Fuck!" I cursed. "There's got to be something. There has to be something."I almost gave up searching when my eyes were caught with a write up. Quickly, I clicked on the link and it took me to the full website. I gradually read through the lines until I got to a point, I made a stop. It was said that though the winter wolves were k
BLAKE(One Week Later...)"Hey, babe. Can I have a moment with you?" I asked, sitting on the single couch. She left the bed for the three seater couch which was just across mine."Okay. What's up?""I've been thinking about this for a long time now. And I've been doing a lot of research so far, and to my conclusion, I figured out that somehow, you are connected to the moon."I was expecting her to look shocked or surprised, but the reaction I got instead looked plain. More like she knew it already or the fact that it wasn't just a surprise to her."You don't look surprised."She sighed, nodding her head. "You knew already?" She nodded again."Since when?""Days ago." She answered. "I always have this feeling that something was calling me, and sometimes the feelings come like it was someone calling me.""Have you gotten the chance to know who it is?" She shook her head. "No. Only that my wolf keeps wanting to take over me when the force or voice calls. I might feel so strong under t
JESSICAThe sound of the front door opening made me jump, and I quickly turned around, my heart pounding in my chest. Blake stepped inside first, followed by a tall, confident woman with striking features. Her presence was commanding, and I could see the resemblance to Blake in her sharp eyes and the curve of her smile.Why do I feel so scared of her?"Jess, this is my sister, Vanessa," Blake introduced, stepping aside so she could enter the room fully.Vanessa’s eyes swept over me, assessing in a way that made me feel like she could see right through me. But instead of the cold judgment I feared, she offered a warm, welcoming smile."So, you're the one who’s stolen my brother’s heart," she said with a chuckle, stepping forward to shake my hand. "It’s nice to finally meet you."I smiled back, a little shyly. "Nice to meet you too. Blake’s told me a lot about you.""Only the good things, I hope," she teased, glancing at Blake, who rolled his eyes playfully."Of course," I replied, fee
JESSICAVanessa's eyes sparkled with a knowing look. "Jess, your lunar connection might seem strong, but know this, relying solely on the moon's cycles will leave you vulnerable. This time, you'll be tapping into your inner power and learning to shift at will."I nodded, ready to face whatever challenges ahead. "Teach me.""Are you ready to face the challenges?"I nodded my head. "I am ready." "That's the spirit. Let's see what you're made of." She said with a wide smile on her face.Vanessa led me to a secluded clearing not so deep in the forest. "First, connect with your wolf's essence. Close your eyes and focus on your heartbeat. Feel the primal energy within."I breathed deeply, sensing the stirrings of my wolf. But as I tried to visualize the moon's energy, my mind wandered. I struggled to quiet my thoughts, and my inner energy felt stagnant.Shit! I cursed."Imagine the moon's absence," Vanessa instructed. "Envision a moonless night, and your wolf's energy is still thriving, st
