“Rise and shine, girl.” My aunt shrilled, and the claps of her hands broke through my subconscious brain.

She stalked to the side of my bedroom, pulling up the blinds of my window. The golden rays of sunrise hit the side of my face, making me squint my eyes. I reached forth to block the warm rays from blinding my eyes with my hands.

“Miss B…give me more time to rest a little,” I said with my eyes still closed, I sat up to lean on my headboard.

“What did you spend your whole night doing, fucking?”

“Yeah.”

“What?”

My eyes shot open, forcing the traces of sleep to disappear. “What…um, no, no…I was just on my phone the whole night.” I said, jittering. I searched the room for my roommate, who took me to the stars last time.

Gosh, look how I almost ratted myself out. I rubbed my eyes with my hands, wiping off the sleep completely.

“Relax girl, I'm only toying with ya.” She giggles. “Not like that wouldn't be fun, though, but you're getting there soon, y'know?…by then, you would have gotte

    I observed the way the nurse attended to her with so much passion just as she had done with other patients. She took some samples of her blood, no idea what they were using it for. They injected a liquid into the back of her left hand and she winced at the pain, sealing it with a sticky material thereafter. I could volunteer to take those pains if I could, I tightened my hold on her hand in reassurance. “I don't worry, you're good. I'm here.” Yes, I sat with her in the place she said was called the therapy ward, her nurse had a weird look on her face the moment she saw me walk in with Rose. Her nurse started by commending her for getting a boyfriend. Do we look that perfect to always be tagged as a couple? I noticed Rose flushed at the mention of the name 'couple.' but she didn't object. She didn't correct her nurse, she was accepting that we were a 'thing' They seemed to be tagging us as that, so we had both gotten used to it. What they had tagged us as seemed nice but a

    I pulled into the driveway that opened up to the familiar houses that I had known my whole life. I wasn't sure if the house that I was pulling up to still belonged to Rose. I was led by my instincts to park just in front of her porch. Her house, everything, still looked like it had always been since the last time I got here. Old. Wacky. The only thing that made it look different and less hunted was the well-trimmed lawn. If my guesses were correct and the residents of this house were who I had expected it to be, they were sure we were still as broke as they had always been…telling by the spooky look of their house. It was not even close to October, but their houses and several others that lay side by side on both lanes looked like zombies hibernated. This whole area looked like something of the zombie apocalypse in broad daylight. I remained in my car, not wanting to step my feet out yet to share the same toxic air with these people. A taxi pulled off behind me; I guess

    It took everything in me to stop myself from plunging my fist into this man's face. The hole I'll be creating in his face will smell of blood and death, which will silence him and stop him from speaking with Rose. I watch him wear a face of sincerity, but I search his heart. It was dark and was filled with selfishness. Something doesn't seem right about him, and I'm to find out what. And if I should get to find out any stain on the white robe he seemed to be putting on, only death would save him from me. So much of me looking out for Rose, I shouldn't be doing this, I should give her some space to make her own decisions and let her fall for this man's trick but my wolf was too rigid to move a foot out of their sight, we listened attentively to the words of both occupants in the room. I'm invisible to both of them. Rose seemed to hurt as she spoke, and Gibson wanted to play the imposter-loving card; he admitted that he left Rose without saying a proper goodbye. Was he expecting her to

    “You shouldn't have agreed to go on a date with him,” Emmett said, breaking the silence as he sat on the couch, holding my cup of coffee in his hands.We had been sitting in silence since I had woken up. I had slept till the cool afternoon, the sun wasn't at its highest and the cool breeze that flowed through the window gave enough ventilation for my room.“He's got to pay my hospital bills and I get to do nothing in return. It's a good deal.” I said as I took a pillow to balance my back on my headboard.He was quiet for a moment, he ogled the content of the cup with great interest.“You should be happy for me.”He turned his gaze to me, his lips seemed to be forming words, “Why should I?” His voice was stressed, void of happiness. My brows furrowed, surprised by his lack of excitement. “As much as I hate who is offering to help, I would say I like the offer. My aunt doesn't tell me, neither does my Dad, but I see the pain in their eyes. They got to work their ass off, most times w

    That was it. That was what it fucking was. Always about him, he's stressing about him. I looked at his worried face as he said that word and the flick in his face showed he had blurted out his true intent for trying to see Gibson's act of generosity as a threat. His jaws tightened, “I will prove to you that he's as bad as I think he is. Until then, have a nice date with him.” And with that, his form dissolved into air. ******* 5:45 pm My aunt was back from work. Tired as usual. My roommate went to who knows where. I'm not bothered, not even in the slightest, he would come back from wherever he's off to…. he's off to chase after who's not after him. From what I've learned, he needs me more, so definitely, he will come around. I stepped into Aunt's room; I glanced at Morris's sleepy form. I heard the shower running. She must be in there. “Miss B!” I plumped down on the edge of her bed, “I've got good news for ya!” I said over my voice. I was more happy at the jo

    “I can't let anything bad happen to you when you haven't helped me yet.”Really? That was just what you had to say, to ignore the real truth. The real truth was the fact that you are running away from that human, and you find yourself pulling close to this human with each step you take forward, and you tend to forget the fact that there's much more importance in going home than staying. The wild part of you hates to see another man show any means of affection towards the strange human that you and your wolf want for yourself.But then again, there's no doubt he isn't up to something, Rose thinks I'm all on his case because She thinks I feel intimidated. I'm far too old for that; I've birthed many great men in the past; who was a common young human to make me feel less of myself? The thought of making Gibson suffer if truly he was out to exploit Rose was still fresh in my mind, but before I do that Rose will see for herself what cruelness lies within him.I was out tonight in the col

    The door swung open. Miss B was all over my face in the next second, she held my cheeks in her hand, examining my face, turning my head from left to right,“Rose, how was your night with Mr generous? tell me in details.” "Nothing much happened aunt, we ate and drank to the glory of the night." "Just that? nothing else happened?" She as asked. She finally released my face after she'd failed to see any fault or scratch. “Can you please let me step in first? my feet hurts.” I said as I bent to take my heels off. She held the door wider, “come on in…” she reached to grab my bag from my hands, “let me hold this one.” “Thank you.” She had just relieve me of one-quater of my load. I was holding a bag of clothes in the left hand. "What's in your other hand?" She pointed to my left hand. "Oh, they're dresses he got for me." "Did you tell him you're lacking clothes?" She asked as a frown grew on her face. "Urghh Miss B, just let him do his thing. He could spend his money anyhow

    Consciousness reached for me in my head and I grabbed it wholeheartedly, my eyes slowly fluttering open. The loud sounds of sirens buzzed…I think that was what woke me up from my sweet nap; I jerked into a sitting position from my lying state. I try to make sense of my surroundings and blink the dark, hazy world around me into focus. I was sitting in what looked like a metallic confinement. I looked out through the small window of the strange place I was at; I could see buildings and landscapes move, and then it occurred to me that I was in a vehicle…under the surveillance of the city's authorities for probably putting out that man, that bloke deserved it. That was fun for me; the jab the other guy gave me helped as a sedative for my over-running thoughts. Something retrained my arms from moving; I looked down at it only to see their modern-day chain cuffed around my wrist. It looked like the modern-day chain humans used to keep their kind captive. In their ridiculous mind, these cou

    On the cliff that stood parallel to the only sea in Claw City Park, the same cliff which my blood spilled was where we sat looking out towards the sea. It was infinitely beautiful, the clear blue meeting the blue rippling sea on the horizon.Before now, I’ve never been close to enjoying a sea view. This was all I dreamt of, listening to the mesmerising sounds of the gentle waves of the sea with my dream guy. I had that dream coming true, all that it wasn't exactly as I had planned it to be. You make choices and life filters what it thinks is best for you. I wanted my dream guy, handsome, strong with a wholesome gentility. Emmett was all that except he was not gentle, he wasn't even close to being gentle, he could always act but he never was.I looked from the sea to the side view of his face, he was lost in the view of the sea. His hair on his head had grown longer than it had been a few months ago. I guess he never cared about his looks when he was hell bent on avenging his death, “

    “Each time the men from her lineage tried to break the spell, the urn was adamant. but each time the women tried, there was a bit of hope. We usually experience the urn lit up, the words on the urn glowed white but after some seconds, the light dies out. So we left it in the hands of the women from her lineage to give it a try. My great grandmother tried. My grandmom. My mom. And so did my wife. Until Rose did.” I want to go on my knees to plead once more to spare the lives of my people that were also his creations, the same people who had casted I and my family to suffer for the wrongs of my foremother but I was held in the shoulder by our ancient WolfLord, “Stand,” He said to me, then turned to the man in black cloak. He extended his hands out, I heard the bones of the man lying on the ground crunch. “I'll let you live. You and your people." He looked over to the dead bodies, "Peace to your fallen soldiers.” He said in a low tone. He turned to me as he made his way towards the

    “Few things about your martyr were erased from history. My forefather, the Alpha of your time was the one who ordered you killed, so the real history was passed down to me. He was known to be the only Alpha who was able to conquer you, but in his doings, he did not completely erase you. He couldn't at all. A prophecy was made that era that in another lifetime, a descendant of your lover’s bloodline shall be the one to free you.” Lucan rose up to his feet slowly, wincing with pains as he did. He pointed to Rose, “Emmett, this is the person you seek for, the one who by fate broke the spell on your ashes."Rose stared between I and the crazy Alpha, “You lie," I blurted, "She's human or was human until I turned her.” Few howlers mumbled.“Who was the first person you saw when you emerged from your ashes?” Lucan asked, There was no way he was going to deceive me into thinking Rose was the one. It was clear she was human, her family, all were humans. “This young lady was human, I turne

    Over a hundred acres of land was in flames, burning hot. This wasn't the adventure I envisioned. I was told to be in here, that he would sense when I was in danger and come to me, that mind link thing he spoke of. But the person who promised me safety was nowhere seen. I kicked in on survival instinct. I feared the fire might get caught up with the wood his home was made of, burning everything to the ground. Scouring through the burning forest, I followed the path where the fire was less. There were a lot of things I was understanding about my new form. One of which was that I could pick up the scents. Down to the scent of pollinated flowers, I could perceive all. So I used that to my advantage, I walked through the burning bushes on their free path, my head bent upwards as I tried sniffing in the scent of my roommate…I can't believe I still referred him to that, my brain wasn't willing to let go of his presence in my fucked up life. I filtered the choking smell of smoke, my eyes we

    “Emmett, we know your story. We're aware of what transpired between you, your ex lover and the Alpha of your time, but I'll have you know that this Park has grown so big. We've grown greatly in numbers, making it difficult for us to distinguish who from who. The bloodline of Kayla, your ex lover, was never heard of after the whole thing with your mythr happened.”I looked at Lucan from where he sat proudly on his throne, the urge to fling him over so reigned in my mind but I withheld it, “It's a sad thing that this generation of wolves lacks wisdom but I want to believe that they are still werewolves gifted with the ability to track down my murderer. I ask only one simple thing, which is to bring the last bloodline of my murder to justice.”“Emmett, if you can just give us a little time, we…”Swiftly, I pulled him out his throne, suspending him in a good height mid air. This was to show him and the rest of his pathetic throne members that I was damn serious. There were mumbling amongs

    “Pick up the damn phone, Arthur.” I had broken the barstool at which my hand held onto to help ease my tension, my wolf itched for outlet. I never guessed a day I would be happy and scared to my bones for my niece.Happy because out of the women from our forefathers, she had been chosen. Chosen to bring change. Chosen to let us free.I was sad because she knows half or nothing about where she came from. She's unaware of the line of family she came from. A young naive woman born of a bloodline of the rogue family. And now, on the course of being chosen to free the ancient one she had gone missing with apparently, the ancient one himself. It's how he was able to move her out of the house I found surprising. With no idea where she would be in Claw City Park or What's doing in a place where she was different from the rest of the inhabitants there–a lesser kind of difference, the whole thing scared me to my bones. The only thought that crawled into my head when my son told me of the littl

    I felt a strong hold on my hands and feet, my eyes sprang open. My blurry vision settled after I struggled with squinting my eyes from the rays of sun that creeped through the window. Peering down at my feet, I was tied in a huge chain. Same with my hands. In a strange and empty old model bedroom. The last thing I remembered was feeling my organs shut down and the hazy words of Emmett calling me out of my unconsciousness. I remembered my body going completely numb. Where am I? “Emmett?” I managed to call out, feeling the raspiness of my throat. I tried to free myself from the strong chains, the clattering noise echoed in the room. Each time I pulled on the chains, it got tighter. On the contrary, I stopped struggling. Waiting for my captor or whoever is responsible for keeping me in this position to come kill me. I thought Emmett made a promise to protect me. Now, here I was, in a strange place with my hands on my feet tied up. I heard the sounds of heavy footstep

    The dawn of morning after a heavy rainstorm from the previous night was always cool and calm. It's like the rain came to stabilise the balance of the atmosphere after not falling for a week. According to the meteorologist on the radio, there's gonna be a clear sky today.I looked over to see Morris sleeping form, mouth leaving trails of spit. “Drooling monkey,” I said under my breath. He cooed in response like he heard me.Five minutes and I was done with the shower, so I dressed quickly. I went over to where Morris slept like a dead log of wood. “Morris, get your tiny ass out of that bed right now!” I called out immediately as I was dressing up. There's no time for acting sweet and loving, I'm late for work already. Courtesy of the rain.At the first call Morris remained sleeping, he did a few turns, mumbling something unintelligent to himself.“Morris!”“Morris Clifford!”He flicked from his lying position, his eyes red from sleep darted around, “I'm up, I'm up.” His breath rasped
