~STORM"I'm Storm! What do you want from me, Marcus?" I questioned him and he smirked. "I like you!" He said straightforwardly. I froze. "You said you..." "And I can protect you too. All you have got to do is give me a chance." He said to me, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I got up and in that instant, I made my way back to the room. Placing my head on the bed, I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next morning, I realized I had nothing much to do that day. I had the urge to go back home but to whom? "Girl, how about we just do something fun? I feel bored?" Bella said to me and I laughed. "Something like what?" I asked her, and she got into my thoughts. "I have no idea but there is a party tonight. Would you like to attend it?" She asked me and I thought about it for a while. "Don't you think it's a bad idea though? We have an exam tomorrow." I told her and she shrugged. "We have an exam by noon. Not really in the morning. We can return earlier since it will be happeni
~STORM"Bella, we need to get back to our hostel room first, okay," I said to her, and together, with our heads lowered to the floor, we ran into the midst of the crowds and into the hostel. It took us minutes and when we were finally able to get in, I couldn't thank the moon goddess enough. "I think something is not right with the environment," I said to her and she nodded her head while trying to catch her breath. "Has something like this happened before?" "I think it's the werewolf hunters and some of their targets. These folks are causing drama around the school environment." She explained to me and I froze. Werewolf hunters again? If so then I was at risk minutes ago. This got me really scared for a moment but I tried to look calm so Bella wouldn't notice a thing. I wasn't being judgemental towards the hunters anymore though. I had seen what a werewolf could do to a complete human who probably never deserved that. Even back in the packs, some rogues just wanted every sligh
~STORMIt's been three weeks since the exam, and in three days, Bella and I will be having our final exam. I stood at the door of my hostel wondering what to do with my life as I was so bored. Bella had gone on some dare just to feel good. I got tired and walked inside the room, picked up a good book, and looked through it. Exams had been fine, so we'll even though the days were never as cool as they should be. I looked through several pages and suddenly heard a knock on my door. I got up and quickly went to open it. On seeing who was there, I was surprised. "Wow Cass!" I exclaimed and quickly hugged him tightly. "How are you, dear Storm? Is Bella home?" He asked me. I froze for a second wondering what to tell him. "Yes, she is around, but just inside at the moment. Come in please." I said leaving the way for him to pass through. He walked inside the house and sat on the couch close to Bella's bed while I sat on my bed. "How have exams been?" He asked looking at me. "It's been gre
~STORMI looked up and was stunned to see how he was grabbed. My brows furrowed. I had no idea how we were able to get into our room, but by the time I was in, tears already filled my eyes. What if it was me in that position? I felt crazy in that instant. I had no idea that people could get tracked like that. I then went on social media and looked through the school's news forum and what I saw got me crying already. "What's wrong honey?" Bella asked me and I showed her my phone. Apparently, the reason Marcus got tracked was because he was responsible for feeding on innocent humans who were also students of the school. "Holy shit! Does it mean he was going to kill us, too, if we had given him our body?" "I guess that was his plan. But it's quite hard to get these werewolves. He must have gotten spied on and exposed to the hunters." She said and that struck at my heart. I took a deep breath, hoping that what I was thinking was nowhere near the truth and that Marcus had actually gott
~STORM"Excuse me?" I was finding it hard to process what he had just said. Was that his good morning to me? Hell nah! "I think it's too early for this Kieran," I said and got out of bed to get into the bathroom. When I stepped out in a white towel, I was surprised to see that he was still in my room. Sitting in my room wasn't something I was used to seeing him do. "You know I would appreciate it if you enrolled me in another academic program. That way, I get a lot more to deal with outside you. You are just a pain in the ass." "I didn't bring you to this town to run away from me. I brought you to suffer from me." He spat and I rolled my eyes. He got closer to me and I felt sweat dripping out of my back. "What? Scared now?" "Kieran, I don't know what you want from me, but this is just unfair," I told him, my feet moving back from the tension. I wasn't enjoying this so-called union. "How about I just get married to a human here." "No human wants a werewolf." He chuckled and that rem
~BELLA"Don't say that. There is no way you are failing." Storm told me, holding my shoulders. "How could you even say that to yourself?""Storm what do you expect of me? I feel drained and I feel so stupid for not paying much attention to my grandma." I said to her. "I should have paid better attention to her. My whole heart is burning." I cried, placed both palms on my face, and threw my head to my lap. I had been taking her for doctor's appointments just like the doctor had suggested. I knew I was doing my best. I cook her food myself and even ensure she takes all her supplements so what the fuck was happening? "I will be right back," Storm said to me and rushed back to her room. I looked around the house and wondered who Storm really was. It was then I realized that she never really talked about herself that much. But then what do I need the information for? I thought and rolled my eyes at my own thoughts. A few minutes later, Storm returned dressed in a more comfortable wear wi
~BELLA"I'm a no-nonsense Boss. She can go do that somewhere else." I replied. After cooking, I invited Gee Gee into the dining room and even personally served her dish. She sat down and ate without looking at any of us. Meanwhile, my eyes were on her the whole time, searching for clues on what could be wrong with her. One thing was for sure, I hadn't seen anything that day. Whatever I saw the day before was real and I wouldn't let anyone tell me otherwise. "Thanks I had an amazing breakfast even though I didn't want to." She said and got up to go into the second sitting room in the mansion. I had fun eating with Storm beside me. "Now that you fired Rose, who is going to care for Gee Gee when you aren't there?" She asked me and I rolled my eyes. "Nice question, but her major reason was to be here while I completed my exam, which she did, and I paid her for it. Now that I only have my company to deal with I don't think I need her. Plus she was clearly tired to work with me." I told
~BELLA"I can hold up till we get to the hospital at least." She replied to him, and he nodded. "I would love to drive you all to the hospital if given the chance to. Do you mind?" He asked and I smiled."You are welcome to do that. We would appreciate it for real." Storm replied and together, we set out to get to the hospital. "I'm happy Cass is the one driving. I could never keep up with such speed if it was me on that seat." She said to me as we sat together with Gee Gee at the back seat and I couldn't help but smile. Twenty minutes later, we got to the hospital, and with the help of my connection, we quickly got into the doctor's office for consultation. "Call me Doctor Mark! Is there anything you would love for me to do for you guys?" He asked the moment we all sat down. I brought out the handkerchief and placed it on his table. "What's that?" He asked. "That's blood! My grandma coughs out blood every single day and his one is from today. This morning to be precise." I told
~STELLAThis was the highest game of manipulation I had played if I was to start counting my deeds. Feeling myself, I smiled so deeply and then turned to look at Luna after several minutes of hearing her beg me to talk to her or at least look at her. "Stella, you know I will never support bullies. This isn't the one I know, and I will be glad if you can at least tell me what the problem is. I'm sick of hearing you look this way. It's wrong dear. I just want you happy, and it's the same for every other person who should be under this roof or even in this pack as a whole." She kept preaching and preaching. I looked up at her and then took a deep breath. "I understand your heart, Luna. I love you a lot, and it would be so unfair for me to say things I know would break your heart.""I'm not sentimental when it comes to taking out toxic folks regardless of who I think they are to me. Tell me, I just want to know if you are really alright inside of you and if anyone is doing anything to hu
~AVIRAI was very surprised to see Luna walking into the dining room with Stella, who was acting like a really loyal chic. "Nice food huh!""Yes, it is Luna. Stella?" I said and Stella walked to me and knelt down."I know I should have told you before coming in here, but I just thought that since Luna is our head, I should go to her first. Please don't be mad at me." She said to me and I couldn't help but laugh. I laughed at that because it was funny for a bit. "I don't remember saying I'm mad for that. Don't worry, please get up and don't look sad," I said to her, trying so hard to play along, but she didn't seem like she was trying to make it easier for me.When she got up, I noticed she was already crying, and the Luna had noticed it. That got me feeling really uncomfortable as I started stealing glances at the Luna.I didn't know why she was doing this but it didn't look like something that would favor me at all. This could trigger the Luna. "You don't have to be sad about that S
~STELLAI had not expected to get grabbed by my collar so I turned in shock only to see Desire glaring at me while Avira chased behind her. "Did I commit any offense?" I questioned her, and she grabbed my ears. "I can't stand it when someone attempts to play games with me. I suggest you avoid me and just do what's best for you so I won't lose it. Don't you dare do that game with me ever again?" She warned me with so much bitterness, and that caused my heart to scream in excitement, seeing how stressed she was at that moment.Without hesitation, I fell on my knees again and grabbed her toes. "It would never be in my intention to hurt your feelings beta Desire. I'm really sorry please don't hurt me. Please, I beg you," I muttered, crying, and I could see the confusion on their faces as I cried. "I didn't hit you why are you crying?" She questioned in fear and I moved back a bit. "I know you didn't but I'm so guilty that you are all hurt simply because of me. Please don't be sad I pr
~AVIRA"Girl you can't believe her. I don't even trust that she is sick." Desire said looking very angry. "I don't think that's something we can deny. She is very sick. I'm just glad she didn't die. I would have been blamed for it. His about we just give her the chance for repentance and if she doesn't, we might as well get rid of her permanently." I suggested and she stopped to think. "I guess so. But you shouldn't get so close to her. She looks very dangerous," she said to me, and I nodded my head, grateful that at least she was able to listen to me. We went back into the ward and saw that she was already sleeping, so we thought that leaving her to have a good sleep would be the best. "Let's go back to the palace and return later." Desire said to me and held my hand while I followed her out of the hospital. We walked into the palace and saw the Luna sitting on her throne of honor. We bowed! "What happened?" She asked us, and we looked at each other, wondering if we should even
~AVIRAI sat on the bed in my room, wondering what to do next as I looked all around me. Then I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I said without looking up, and when the door opened, Desire walked inside, and it was then I smiled. "I feel too exhausted," I said to her and she laughed "I'm not surprised. But that is what happens when you get involved with the pack's intense training meant for warriors. It's not like that's what you were training for either. "Whatever. Think what you want to think. I don't care." I muttered, picked up some fruits, and started eating.Later the next day, I stepped out and started looking around the palace, making sure everything was safe for the Luna, when I heard some steps rushing towards me as though there was haste. I looked back and it was Stella. She definitely isn't talking to me. I thought but that was until she ran to my front and paused while breathing. "Are you crazy? You know better than to come and stand right in front of me right?" I
~STELLAI felt like that was over until I saw them come very close to me and stand staring at me as I worked. "I think you are doing a very bad job right there. Start all over again." Avira voice cable through and I looked up at them."I did it...""Keep shut and do what she says. If she shifts into her wolf form, you know you would never be able to stand her." Desire said shutting me up.I took a deep breath and then went back to the start of the pool and began scrubbing it all over again. "Exactly like I wanted. Once you are done here, make sure to report to me. You have got some other things to do." Avira said to me and then walked away with her bestie.Taking a deep breath, I looked up at the sky and then at Nana who was still acting like she had not seen that. "Don't tell me you didn't see that. Don't piss me off please." I muttered to her and she turned to look at me. "Okay let's say I did. What will that change? Please be practical you know you can't fight these bitches by jus
~STELLABack to the maids' building? I didn't think that was something I expected to have hit me that evening. I then turned to Mia who was standing not too far away. "Mia I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. You said hurtful things and that was what I reacted to. Please don't hurt me. Please don't do this. Help me beg that you forgive me, please." I rushed to her and grabbed her legs, begging her, but she kicked me away."You don't need to embarrass yourself further. She will be here till your punishment is over." Luna Storm said to me and turned to the guards. "Take her out of this building." She ordered and they stormed me and grabbed me out of the building. I soon found myself at the entrance of the main building and to avoid other maids who didn't like me laughing at me, I got up and pretended to be stronger as I then made my way to the maids' building. "You? Why are you back?" One of them asked me and I smiled. "That's because I miss my friends over here. Is that a problem for
~STELLA"Luna this was a really bad idea. I should be the one doing all these things for you. Why did you choose Desire of all people?" I asked the Luna the next day as I was yet to get over her sudden mindset."Dear, this isn't something you should have to worry about okay? Besides, I got you," she replied to me with a wide smile. My heart ached, but seeing as she was trying to play, I started making sure she didn't see any trace of anger on my face. "Luna, I still don't understand why the Alpha thought it was great to risk your child repeatedly, to be honest. Avira should have stayed banned. I wanna ask you, Luna, do you think I mean bad for you and will ever want to hurt you?" I questioned her and she looked deeply at me "no, I don't think so, and that's why you are standing close to me. I have no idea why you are finding it hard to believe that I actually do love you. It's really some slap on my face you know." She replied to me, and I decided to stop asking her. "Now that you
~STELLAEverything that was happening around me was feeling like a movie. I thought I had hit the jackpot. Moon goddess knew how much I hated this Desire of a woman. I gritted my teeth as I sat on my bed wondering what to do to stop her. She was doing a lot. Even Avira has not done this much in a long time.I managed all through that day and when I woke up the next morning, I walked into my bathroom to freshen up when I heard a knock on my door. Thinking it was the Luna, I rushed out, wrapping myself in a towel and the moment I opened the door, my face changed due to the deep disappointment. I glared at the guard in front of me. "What do you want?" "The Luna needs your attention in the main sitting room." He said to me and turned and left while I groaned in pain The Luna, who I thought had made a friend in me and who could come into my room, was now sending a guard to pass information to me. "Storm you must really think you are something. Stop trying to test me. You sure do want to
