I got dressed and stepped into the room. My eyes ran to where the book was—its obvious Della knows what the book is for and the significance it holds except for the fact that no one else is able to use it like I could once I finally access my powers after getting the seal.The drawer seemed untampered with and just for confirmation, I pretended to get my locket from it which gave me access to the drawer and that’s when I checked if it was still there and behold it was still there.“Are you done?” she asked even though it was obvious that I was.“Yes.” I nodded, straightening my outfit.“Good. Come with me, I would like to show you something.” She said and I obliged. I followed her and we walked into the field… far deep into the woods, away from the village, the village was more like a fraction of distant objects now.Then she raised her head and looked up. Curiosity stroke me and I looked up too, wondering what she was looking at.I couldn’t see it, didn’t know what she was looking at

Cara pointed at a messy looking lady and I squinted my eyes as I couldn’t see her well due to the burning sensation of the sun.“What’s her name?” I whispered loudly.“Hey!!” the teacher turned, snapping her cane at us. “No noise making! Now listen!!” she commanded.“You’re welcome Mira.” She said, I guess finally taking notice of me. “Do well to have a seat or a stand, however you may please.” she said nonchalantly. “I am Juan, your trainer.” She added.“Thank you, Miss Juan.” I said, trying to be as polite as I could.She danced her way to the others whom she had been training on and I turned to Cara.“Is this where you spend most of your day?” I asked, my eyebrows twitching in confusion. “Yeah.” She smiled.“I’m definitely calling in sick tomorrow.” I grimaced, my face turning pale at the thought of being tutored by this grumpy lady. I was scared of her, she looked scary. I won’t understand anything she’s saying because her face looks like it’s constantly screaming at someone for

I fell to the grass disappointed. I got up relentlessly, deciding to try again. Beads of sweat drops formed above my brows—on my forehead—and I could feel it trickle down my face. I wiped it off on my clothes and stayed focused. I did everything I could, everything I knew of—still nothing.I threw fists in the air and yelled at the universe. I was mad at it for making me this helpless! Then I sat to receive some cool air from the breeze blowing by, that’s when I realized that I had released way too much air into the wind while I was throwing a tantrum.Excited. I decided to sit with my legs crossed and try to stir my powers again—one last time. I was hopeful. I was excited. Focused. I felt it move within me like a string of energy, stirred and coursed right from the depth of my heart, into my body parts and my hand like a moving sand worm and into every cell and vessel, my metacarpals and carpals, skin, pore, every ounce of biology in my finger… I was expectant, waiting for it to

“Well.” He shrugged. “You’re always welcome to be on either side of the team.” He said.“So I can start with you right away?” I asked, a little excited but uncertain.“Of course.” He said moving towards his team and I swallowed a huge gulp turning to Cara with anxiety written all over my face.“You’ve got this!” she gave me a thumbs up and a wide grin.I nodded and walked clumsily down there. “Hi. Everybody.” I waved but none of them heard me except a few, the rest were still busy training vigorously.Luca clapped his hands, calling their attention. “Listen up!” he half yelled.They immediately paused and turned to him.“We have a new member on our team!” he said pointing at me, “Mirabelle.” He added and they cheered. “Welcome Mirabelle.” Most chorused, others looked at me like I missed my way there. A lady for that matter!Their eyes scoring through my body, visibly weighing my flabby, feeble arms and weak legs. How can I ever throw a punch or a power kick with any of these? I was

I followed his gaze, and there, a little distance into the woods, by the tree trunk, a flicker of movement caught my attention. A shadow—quick and low to the ground—vanished behind a tree.“Did you see that?” he asked, wiping sweat drops off his brow.I nodded slowly. “You’re not crazy.” I whispered loudly.“That’s a first,” he muttered.Luca’s stance shifted immediately. He was more serious now. “Stay behind me." He said to me.And then, like a bad storm rolling in, the energy in the air changed.I felt it too. That strange hum… like a current pressing against my skin. I wasn’t sure if it was fear or power, but something unusual was definitely coming.Luca raised one hand, a silent signal to the rest of the fighters to pause. They obeyed immediately—most of them sensing what we had felt too. That strange pull in the air, thick and humming like a plucked string.A rustle in the bushes followed by the crack of a dry twig. Then silence.I held my breath. And out of the shadows stepped—N

Falcon scoffed. “You wouldn’t dare." His eyes narrowed. "I have a blade, you have nothing!”Luca smiled, then in a swift motion—like a snake he moved. One second he was standing still, the next moment, Falcon’s blade was on the ground and Nathan was stepping aside, untouched –his hands still in the air.When he noticed he was free, he pretentiously dusted his coat, mocking Falcon and Bren.Luca had disarmed him in a blink. Falcon stumbled back in shock, Luca grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm behind him. Luca had his other arm carrying Falcon’s other hand to the back of his head rendering him completely helpless.Bren pulled out his weapon—but I was quick enough to notice him so I stepped right in front of him and sent a fist through his gut—clumsy but powerful—and he buckled just enough for one of the trainees to yank the blade from his hand.Luca smiled at me, I'm sure he was proud. "Impressive!" He smirked.“I’m getting better, huh?” I muttered, my eye was widened in shock and s

“Keep tempting me with those lips and I’ll show everyone how much you drive me crazy.” He said getting closer to me and my eyes widened in surprise… “Okay, Okay, stop… stop—” I used both my hands to push him away and to stop him from coming any closer. I wouldn’t be able to resist him if he gets too close. “Stop okay?”I didn't mean to push him too far, gosh! Why would he want to kiss me in public?"Fine!" I sighed. "Let's just keep moving." I said putting my hands down. He looked at me for a while then he turned and started walking forward, I joined him. Together, we moved."Mira, Luca, wait up!" We heard a familiar voice yell our names behind us and we stopped and waited, searching for her while the crowd went by us, moving ahead… It was Cara."Is training over for you as well?" I asked once she came in close proximity."Training is over for everyone. Luca said so." She pointed at him."Yes." Luca accepted. "They ruined my mood. I don't feel like training anymore." He added."Perh

Luca tilted his head, then smiled—not warmly. “Alright. Let me rephrase that." He sighed."Tell me the truth… and probably I might consider letting you leave." Luca said with a smirk on his face."Out of the village. Beyond the barrier. No more rules. Just total freedom.” He gestured, locking his eyes on Falcon’s face, wearing still, that cunning smirk on his face.Falcon’s eyes lit up faintly, curiosity piqued. He glanced at the sword again, and then back at Luca. “Are you kidding me or you're dead serious?” he questioned, doubt evident in his tone.“I'm dead serious,” Luca lied smoothly, crossing his arm as he leaned back on his seat. “No blade to your throat. No guards. You get your wish—adventure, the wild, the chaos outside these walls, everything!”*I walked by the barrier stealthily as the wind brushed past my face, my eyes narrowed in determination as the moon appeared in the evening sky.The hums and shimmers of the magical wall still flickered faintly under the fading sunl

Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 43 : Who was he?
I jolted and sat upright in bed... my heart was pounding like a war drum, my chest going up and down like tidal waves. The room was dark, save for the pale moonlight sneaking in through the wooden slits of the window. My skin was clammy, and eyes unwilling to close back to sleep again.I touched my face in panic. Hot? cold?A part hot and the other cold. Literally hot, like I had been physically exposed to raw fire and cold—like I had been dipped in ice or frozen.That dream—it felt too real. I panicked.The man… the seal… his eyes. I could still feel his stare lingering in the corners of my room like a stabbing dagger waiting to take me alive... a nonexistent shadow yet I couldn’t shake it off.I rose quietly and walked to the window, pushing it open and pulling the curtains aside just a little.A rush of wind came blowing in, taking up my hair in the air. I listened, the village was wrapped in silence, save for the occasional whisper of wind. It was quiet, asleep. Peaceful. But I

Luca blinked, clearly taken aback. “She did?” The surprise in his voice was unmistaken and sweet.I nodded. "Hmm-mm"“Well… I guess I should thank her for saving my ass,” he chuckled dryly, scratching the back of his head. “But, I still wanted to be the one to tell you. I owed you that.” he said looking all serious but I knew not to fall for that.I didn't respond. There was a quiet pause. Then, with some more boldness, he stepped closer.“You know,” he began with a sly smile, “For you to have waited for me, it showed you cared and had already forgiven me. Della did a good job of watering the garden for me to come planting." He said feeling funky.I raised a brow. “I was walking on my own. You asked me to wait for you and you just happened to catch up.”“Still counts,” he said with a grin.He walked beside me as we continued the little journey towards the habitable parts of the village.The sky was already getting dark with taints of soft purple and orange hues, colouring the entire s
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 41 : DELLA TOLD ME EVERYTHING!
I raised my head too, to look at the barriers and as I expected, they were invincible. The sun burned its way into my eyes and I looked down immediately quicker than she did.Though my questions about the sword were answered... somehow my mind wasn’t still at ease.I wanted to ask her who the man I saw her speaking to at the barrier was, and how she and Luca are able to go outside the barrier but none of us can.Yet, I couldn't muster the courage to.So I sat quietly.Also, I didn't think it was the right time to ask her to complete my parents' love tale."I'll go now and allow you to enjoy your own company." She giggled and patted me on the shoulders. She got on her feet and moved away gently, leaving me all alone with all my train of thoughts and the buzzing wind.*NARRATOR'S POV The heavy metallic door of the Alpha's throne room was pulled open and a soldier marched in.His armor dusted with ash and some spill of red stains which had a taint of metallic scent in them—blood, of
Betrayal under the wolf’s moon Chapter 40 : THE SWORD
I sat on the edge of a cliff, legs dangling over the rocky edge. I'm usually scared of heights but right now, I don't care.My mind was a battlefield... I kept wondering why Luca would not want to tell me about the sword?—What if I hadn't been opportune to eavesdrop on his conversation with Falcon? That means I would never have known!Like a pictured image I could replay the scene vividly in my head. The way the sword responded to him, the way the ancient, rune imprinted metal hummed to his touch, the faint glow… it was like it knew him. Like it had chosen him.Somehow, my mind immediately escaped to the time we both stumbled to the ground and he was above me.That was so close... Too close. The closest we've ever been. I felt my heart throbbing so fast like it wanted to fall out of my chest, why though?Love?It's not love.Cannot be love. I’m not loving another man... Not after… My brows furrowed angrily and hands folded into a fist. Betrayers.Suddenly, a voice pierced through he

Is that so?” I pressed. "Or you just don't want to tell me." I concluded.He stepped back, lowering his arms. “Where were you last night?”The switch in topic caught me off guard. “What?” I don’t know when the shocker came out of my mouth.“I saw you… with Nathan. Late. Alone. Just you two.” he continued and tried to indulge me in punching.I narrowed my eyes as I followed his lead. "Seriously? And how did you notice us?""I told you, you're my business so I keep an eye on you." I scoffed unbelievably, shaking my head.“Are you seriously jealous right now?”He stepped forward, voice low, his face an inch from mine—his breath caressing my face. “I’m seriously trying to protect you, and it doesn’t help when you go moonlighting with someone who jokes about everything including his own life.”“I’m not a child, Luca. You don’t get to choose who I go out with.” I stood up to him.His jaw tightened. “I see." He stepped back and looked away. "He's been saying things to you, making you feel

Nathan slowed his pace, his eyes flicking towards me with something unreadable in them. “Not much.” He shrugged.“Only what I overheard Luca and Della say earlier.” He added, wiggling his eyebrows at me.“You were able to eavesdrop?” I gasped almost too excited about it for my own good. I was half impressed, half shocked.“Hey, I’m good at lurking, that’s what I do.” he smirked, spreading his arms in self defense.I chuckled softly, “So what were they talking about?” I inquired curiously.“It’s better your lover boy tells you himself.” He looked at me, the smirk still tugging at the corner of his lips.“He’s not my lover!” I protested, wearing a slight frown.“Yeah you can keep denying it all you want but we all see it, the way he looks at you…” he stops and stared at me. “It’s different.” He added.“Tsk!” I hissed. “That’s how flirty guys are.” I brushed it off.“So you really not going to tell me what you heard?” I cornered our conversation back to the reason I decide to stroll with

Before I could make a move to follow them, I felt a soft tap on my shoulders, I was shocked. My body stiffened before it started turning slowly towards the direction of the touch.Who could it be? Was I already discovered?I hissed, heaving a sigh of relief, I rolled my eyes… it wasn’t anyone to be scared of. It was just—Nathan.But what was he doing out here?He was just above me, crouching awkwardly, his face tense. “What the hell are you doing here?” I whispered loudly.He looked at me then back at Della and Luca, his eyes had a flicker of mischief. “Gathering the truth.” He replied.I looked over my shoulders nervously. “If you’re not careful, you’ll get yourself locked up like Falcon.”“Maybe.” He shrugged. “...but we both know why Falcon is locked up in the first place,” He shot back. “You saw the sword. It isn’t wasn’t ordinary.”I hesitated, then gave a slight nod. “It isn’t. It reacted to Luca. That’s not normal. We both know relics like that choose their wielder.”He nodded

"When I pulled it out… the ground started shaking and I thought I was going to be swallowed up under the ground by the earthquake but shortly after the shaking stopped and I heard sounds… it was the sword, it spoke to me.” He said, his voice mischievous.“What did it say?” Luca asked, leaning forward.“I don’t know… Hums. Voices, ancient songs like a chant in hell!” he replied, exaggerating. “All I heard were these words ‘safe’ the ‘destroyer’ and twisted ancient satanic chants like that.” He grimaced.“They say it was owned by either a powerful sorcerer, a witch, a nine council member? A combination of all? Who knows?.” He shrugged and chuckled.“But whoever possessed this sword according to the legendary tales, had only one intention and that was to stop the rogue wolf from uniting the mythical creatures.” He explained.Luca sighed. “If you couldn’t wield it, why did you keep it?” he asked.“It’s a fucking reward for a fearless, skillful adventurer. The only proof! A monument to add
