The door opened. She hurried in, looking beaten and anxious. Looking for something, she ignored the maid who was bent over, cleaning her room. I watched silently as she paraded."It must be here somewhere." She said. When she had walked over to the huge shelf of valuables on the opposite end of the room, I started to find my way out, making sure that my face was never in her direction. With the cleaning basket and the water mop, I guarded my identity. The violet cat stared at me in suspicion. When I made it to the door, Lysandra called."Hey you! Stop right there!"I could not turn around. Frozen still, eyes against the open door, I heard her steps come from behind."You are the one who is cleaning this room, aren't you? Have you seen my necklace?""No... I haven't." I tried to hide the part of my voice which suggested familiarity.She had stopped paying me much attention again, the search being so important to her. Maybe this was my chance to walk away."Where are you going? You hav
Several thoughts had gone through my mind. It felt like an eternity for those doors to open. I recalled the stories I had heard about Lysandra's father, Derek Marble the blood beta. He was a vicious beast, just as evil as his alpha. He who would eliminate anything and anyone that stood in the way of his ambitions. According to the stories, he once decapacitated his own brother a long time ago so as to be the next beta of the Sunfyre pack. According to the stories, Derek kept his brother alive as a mercy but took away his legs to show the world how weak he was. Derek was no normal werewolf, and he was not one to mess with, especially by an enemy's daughter like me."Let me go!" I tried my best to pull away from Vermin, but he would not budge. Once again, his strength was too much to overcome. "Stay still, Yeneffer. You want to get revenge on Lysandra, don't you? For everything she has done to you? What better way to do that than to make her think her boyfriend has cheated on her? You
"Did I not ask you to leave?" Vermin stood close to the giant wardrobe. Slowly, I opened the door, slightly then widely. I had heard everything that they said. Vermin used to have feelings for me? But now he was desperate to get rid of me? That didn't make sense. Now that I thought about it, I realized that he had kept my identity secret for a reason. Maybe he still had feelings afterall and he didn't want me to get hurt."You have to stop all these games, Yeneffer. I will not be there to save you another time." He said, edging closer. "I have kept your identity a secret long enough. There is nothing I can do if you keep announcing yourself with your stupid plans. I don't know what you are planning, but I know it will not work", he said.I believed it more when he said that. He was surely the one who was watching me during the night. The wolf with the red eyes.If my plans would not work, then why would he not help? I walked towards him. "You have to let me go, Vermino. I promise..."
The night had come. In the middle of the darkness, Eliora woke me. "It is time to leave," She said. Of course it was time. The time I had awaited all along. One more night and the full moon would be here. Tonight was my last chance to escape."Quick." She grabbed a few things. The paper which Lily found earlier glowed under the light of the dim lamp, held tightly by Eliora. "We have to go quietly."The key was with me. I held it close. We were going to really escape. The three of us. "Where is Lily?" I checked around."Maybe stuck in the dreamworld because she is too scared to wake up." Eliora rather focused on the things she needed. I bent over to Lily's bed."Come on, Lily. It is time to go." When I reached for her under the thick blanket made of animal skin, her body pressed deep like soft feathers. In an instant, I threw away the blanket. There was no Lily, just a line of pillows."She is gone!" I could not believe my eyes. Maybe the night was playing tricks on me. Maybe it was
As much as I was shocked by Eliora's sudden betrayal, I was even more suprised at the identity of the man before me. Malcolm Wolfsbane. He was the first born son of Alpha Denver, he was a notorious name among the tongues of the warriors of my pack. His ruthlessness, his evil heartedness, his merciless nature. They say he was the true heir to the Sunfyre alpha in blood and heart. The true Alpha. I remembered the red eyes which watched me from the darkness. That was the same pair of red eyes glaring at me now. They belonged to only one person all along - Him. He had watched me for so long. He had set Eliora after me, at least that was the only explanation for this turn around."You..." I could not believe Eliora. "You traitor..."If she had been working for Malcolm all along, then what about Lily? Maybe Lily had not betrayed us afterall. Maybe it was all part of Eliora's sly plan. Maybe something had happen to Lily... Poor Lily! What had they done to her? Why would Eliora even betray me
Yeneffer"Go! Run to the safehouse!!"Another loud bang took the air by shock. The earth shook violently beneath us as her soil splashed roughly onto our skins. Father growled, spreading his entire body over the both of us, protecting us from the impact. By the time the dust settled, the safe house had become one with it.Then he faced me again."Take your sister. Go as far away from here as possible. Do not look back! Do not stop!"As he pushed us away, his naked body shifted quickly into his mega sized wolf form. "Go!!!" The last word he uttered as human. It continued into a long growl as he turned around in fury, ready to tear the limbs of the ones after our lives.I took Diana's hands by the wrist and we both made a run for it. The farther we made it away, the more I fought the terrible urge to take one last look at what had become of my pack.The Bluewinter pack was known for its long history of valour, strength, bravery and immense resilience. It was our pride, it was our honou
YenefferHis eyes were made of red orbs, a contrast to the grey look I remember. His brows were deep and full, spreading across and emitting a dangerous glare. His face was the most beautiful yet most poisonous I had ever beheld. With the size of his body included, the muscles and the veins, I knew this was no longer the scared little boy I used to protect. Eight years ago, the Sunfyres attacked the Havenmoon pack. They destroyed everything, everyone. When my father and other bluewinters got there to help them, it was all over. It was too late. The Sunfyres left no survivors, it was either death or abduction.Yet there was one boy who had survived. Ten years of age, he had been able to hide himself from the Sunfyres and survive the bloodshed. The bluewinters found him among the pigs where he hid. Father took him home and decided to raise him as his son. We became best friends. I fell in love with him. Then after many months, one day he disappeared."Vermino..." I called his name agai
VerminWhen I was informed that we were finally going to attack the bluewinters, I knew the time had come that I would see Yeneffer again. I had waited for years, knowing this day would finally come. All the other packs had been destroyed, scattered into tiny fragments across the face of the earth. The Bluewinter pack was the last one standing, no allies. It was time for it to go down too.In the battlefield, I tore down their men into shreds. My wolf was a kind they had never seen before. The serum invented by the pack doctor was quite a wonder. With the extra power it gave me, each wolf in my path went down in total annihilation. I announced myself to the bluewinters again, not as the boy whom they all tried to murder eight years ago, but as a man who had come with the sword of brutal justice.I was happy for a while, then everything changed in the blink of an eye when I beheld her from afar. Yeneffer Bianco, the reason I had been filled with hate for eight years. I thought we would

YenefferWhen morning came, Eliora was the first to awaken. She came to me and stroke me, not roughly yet not gently."Get up, we have to go now if we want to get it."As I woke up to her call, somebody else was waking up as well."Are you guys just really getting along or am I still in a deep sleep?" Lily yawned, stretching her hands and feet. "And what is this thing you want to go get?"Eliora ignored her, she returned to her place to get dressed. In silence, I dressed up. I was still conflicted within myself. If we succeeded and stole the key on this day, then would I really leave Lily behind on this island?"Since you obviously don't want to tell me, is there any way that I can help?" With her smily face, Lily stood before me. My heart burned with discomfort."Stay here," I told her. "We are going to do something dangerous. If it doesn't work out, then you have to be safe from the consequences."The smile on her face was covered with fear. Lily knew what danger meant, she could pr
VerminDarius and I took the path that led to the old abandoned flying truck. It was an old variant of this technology created by humans. This particular machinery was no longer in use, but in the presence of great trouble comes great innovation. In Lysandra's room, I found the key dangling beneath her hall of clothings. She was out of the room, looking for my friend Darius. By the time Darius came to us, I was ready to leave and the key was in my possession."I will miss you, Vermin." She leaned and kissed, clinging. She did not want to let go. She did not want to leave me. "Can't you just stay? My father likes you anyway. He won't tell on you."I smiled. It was not the friendship of Derek Marble that I doubted but his schemes. Derek knew no friends nor foes, he only knew one thing - Loyalty. And my father rewarded loyalty."Don't worry, babe. Soon you will see me again. I don't plan to go too far."Of course I had no plans to go far. I still had thoughts that Adrian Bianco would com
VerminThe maid came in with the tray of foodies, the smell of heaven clouded the room. Yet to me it was only something more satiable to the watching eyes than to a waiting stomach. She wore a piece of clothing which only covered the upper half of her body, hovering just beneath her full breasts and leaving her tiny waist to the marvel of his sight. Her skirt only reached a quarter to the length of her thighs, and the rest of her skin glittered for a shower of attention. None of this was able to draw my attention. I could only think of one thing - Yeneffer, and her father Adrian Bianco which I was meant to arrest."What are you thinking about?" I felt her warm touch on my chest. Everyone knew Lysandra to be a vicious and dangerous lady but when it came to me, she became as gentle as a dove and as caring as a goddess. "Don't you like the food? Or is it the maid?" She stared at the poor girl, half dressed and half naked to make me happy, acting on Lysandra's orders. "I can have her remo
YenefferEliora locked the door firmly. "Who was that?" My legs fought against the chilliness of the floor. Eliora did not respond, she did not even spare me a look as she walked to the only window in the room, checking for something."I said who was out there?""No one." She breathed reluctantly as she walked past me again. She went to observe Lily where she lay fast asleep. "Do not wake her.""But outside...""Forget what you saw out there." She had now confirmed that Lily was sleeping. "Tomorrow, we can take the abandoned flying truck and get the hell out of here."What? I was stunned, not knowing what to say."Do you not want to escape again? I see you have the spirit. Have you suddenly lost it?""But you said...""Forget what I said. I have been planning this for sometime now but I couldn't trust anyone. I think you have what it takes. Besides, I can't be successful all on my own."Words could not express my joy. I held it in, but I'm sure she saw the glitter spread across my fa
