THE CORRECTIONAL CENTER. He was training his maneuverability without using his superpowers. He thought that if he could improve as a human, he would exponentially improve with his superpowers too. His aunt promised to pick him up when he felt he was done. His panting reduced and he suddenly turned and threw the ball hard at the person who he had already known was behind him. With a single hand, Mr. Zack caught the ball and smirked. “What a strong throw.” He commented before looking at the ball in his hand and back at Leo, “That’s not a good way to welcome the coach of a rival school.” He joked and threw the ball back at Leo, who caught it with both hands. Leo frowned and kept his eyes fixated on every move Mr. Zack made. Given the kind of vibe the teacher gave him, he could not let down his guard. “What do you want?” He inquired without smiling at all. The coach saw Leo’s seriousness and he walked around him. “Hmm. I don’t want anything… Nothing at all.” He said with his hand
THE CENTER. The whistle for the third quarter blared and the game began. Throughout the game, Tyler and Jackson had been the ones giving them threats and pressuring them. So it would be normal if the players of West wing put more effort into restraining these two players.The center had been divided into the East wing, West, wing, the North wing, and the South wing. Each weekend, a casual basketball game was held between them. It helped, as the inmates became close to each other than they were before.Larkin stood at the side, alongside other inmates. For whatever reason, the center was no longer as harsh as it was before. There had also been relative peace."Hey Larkin, I thought you didn't like this kind of games?" She heard a voice say behind her, and she whirled around. She relaxed when she saw who it was, and even managed a smile.It was one of the girls who had participated in bullying Elise. She had apologized, and they'd even become friends.She accepted the cup which the b
In a room somewhere in another state, there was a screen on the wall. The screen was displaying the states and strategic locations to set up bases. A tall and well built man, dressed in black suit and wearing a pair of glasses, very handsome and pleasing to the eye, glanced at the five workers in the room. It could be determined that he was the boss among these guys. These people were all working in front of computers and they belonged to a covert organization. Suddenly, a red blinking dot began to appear on the screen in a part of the lands being displayed. This alarmed the workers and they all began to frantically move around. “Sir,” one of the worker said to the big built man, “We are receiving coordinates of an unknown tracker. We don’t know what it means. It’s giving us coordinates.” Hearing that, the eyes of the boss lit up and he walked in front of the screen. “What coordinates is it sending?” he asked, looking at the screen. The worker triangulated the location
CHAPTER 90.YEARS LATER....A COLLEGE. Alex got to school and walked in the hallway. Despite the disgusted eyes looking at him from all directions he wasn’t bothered and instead, he kept on his expressionless face and went on his way. He began hearing footsteps of someone running and he looked behind him to see who it was. Turns out it was his friend Gary. The guy stopped in front of Alex and bent down a bit with his hands on his knees as he supported himself and he panted heavily. “I’m here. Hu hu hu I’m… here.” He said, mid-pants. Alex was surprised and confused as to why Gary was running in the first place. He sized him up and was able to take note of his figure. Gary was a slightly chubby guy with blonde bow cut hair. He wore a pair of round glasses and he’s actually a genius in terms of everything. He has the Dino-body of a triceratops and is still in the hatchling stage, due to him not usually doing any sort of exercise or anything. The only state that keeps improving is
In front of a building in the process of construction, two men were having a simple argument. Many workers were gathered around them, some trying to watch the heated scene and hoping for a fight to ensue, while others holding a bit of sympathy and hoping for the quarrel to end without any harm done to anyone. “I told you already Lon. Stop trying to act like you’re the boss.” One of the men yelled at the other one who felt infuriated. “How do you expect me not to tell you what to do when you keep acting like a fucking dumbass.” The other guy, whose name is Lon, yelled at the first one. His statement seemed to have hit the limit of the first guy as he glared furiously at Lon and launched himself towards him. “Who the hell did you just call a dumbass?!” He yelled as he attempted to punch the other guy’s face. People would’ve tried to stop them but who knew the strength of those men. With a punch like that being launched, unless one had a stronger body, nobody would like to ta
At the same time, a little distance away, a yellow taxi was parked on the roadside. Inside the taxi, a man dressed in casual clothing with a pair of dark shades on looked in Mr. Ace’s direction. He was stylishly holding a camera. “I have eyes on target. Male, white hair, six feet tall, Dino-body of a giganotosaurus.” He reported as he pressed the comma in his ear. After taking a few pictures, he drove away, to avoid suspicion. Just as he drove away, Mr. Ace looked towards the direction of the departing taxi. He kept a frown on his face and he felt that something was fishy. He always felt watched and he had discovered that someone was spying on him. “Guess I’m now a target, huh.” He muttered to himself as he watched the taxi drive away.*** Located in the city was a large shopping mall. Mrs. Selena emerged from the entrance of the mall with a few shopping bags in her hand. She had a bright smile on her face, showing that she was quite satisfied with the results of today’s
Even then, after playing basketball for three years, he has never seen a team with this much understanding and cohesion between them. Their teamwork was just to tight, and their methods were extraordinary. Logan and his team cheered for themselves as they were happy that they won. Well, Leo and the remaining third year students weren’t all too excited, and they maintained their cool head. According to Mrs. Hale, Elian Comprehensive would have no problem against the school’s like Sky Hills High, Bennighton Academy, and St. Peter’s High school, as their team was much more stronger. Even if things were about to turn south, they had three aces, Logan, Quincy, and Leo. Only two schools might pose a threat to them, Brighton Academy and Royalty High school. After their match ended, Bennighton Academy and St. Peter’s High had their match, with the former winning the match with 56 points, while the latter scored 52 points. It was a very close call for Bennighton High. After the two m
In the bustling atmosphere of the club, a strikingly handsome young man entered with an air of confidence. Despite the pulsating music from the DJ, his mere presence caused the girls to pause and stare, captivated by his allure. Each one of them felt as if they were alone in his presence, lost in a world of their own fantasies, envisioning what it would be like to spend a moment with him.As Damian made his way through the crowd, a girl in a ravishing red gown intercepted him. Unfazed by her beauty, he had grown accustomed to such encounters. She sensually traced her fingers along the collar of his shirt and whispered in his ear, "I hear you're a regular here, is that true?"A mischievous smirk played across Damian's lips as he calmly walked past her, surprising her with his ability to resist her charms. He continued on and spotted his friend, the owner of the club, whom he approached and greeted with a handshake."You're late today, what happened?" his friend inquired curiously."I h
The rain poured down as hard as it could, the splatters, creating a little puddle in holes, by the roadside. The cloudy sky didn't show if it'd stop raining anytime soon.Rory sat on a chair, by the roadside, watching as he had been doing, before it even started raining. And he didn't have any intention of leaving anytime soon.His phone was tucked in his coat pocket, and without worries that the rain might damage it, not that it would anyway, he whistled to himself.He couldn't tell how long he had been sitting for, giving no reaction whatsoever. Not even when a concerned middle-aged man had offered him an umbrella. He hadn't accepted it, nor did he thank the man. Not even when a drenched dog, had barked its way close to him.He sat still, his hands placed on his wet lap, studying the wet environs. The air was filled with the sweet smell of rain meeting Earth. Although he wasn't in the mood to acknowledge the beauty of nature, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.Just then, his ph
CHAPTER 105The sun had just set behind the mountains, and the sky had turned into a beautiful shade of orange and pink. The atmosphere was filled with bliss.As the night wore on, the drinking began. The members of the pack passed around large jugs of honey wine, which they drank from large gourds. The wine flowed freely, and soon everyone was feeling a little light-headed and giddy. The merriment continued late into the night, with people laughing and singing, and the drums beating in the background.Finally, as the moon rose high in the sky, there was a sudden hush. Almost as if tye merriment spirit had been seized. Little by little, they all retired to their various homes, till there was no one left at the square.As Alpha Rory stood gazing through the window, at the view outside, his imposing figure wasn't masked. He was one with broad shoulders. It was already hours since Elise left his mansion, and he was already changed into another outfit. He was dressed in a fine silk robe,
CHAPTER 104."Why don't we go to my place?" Alpha Rory said, making Elise blink. "What?" She frowned."Please." And he shrugged, throwing a look towards her son.She was silent for some minutes. And when she spoke, against her wish, she found herself saying "Okay."Seeing the contented smile that spread across his face at her response, made her want to desperately eat her words. However, she decided against it, when her son suddenly dashed into the room.She threw a long angry look at Rory who was still intently watching her, without a word. She followed suit, as she decided to get ready. If she was right, by 'my place,' he probably meant his pack. If that was right, then she knew she had to get ready. She massaged her temple, suddenly feeling dizzy. Everything was happening so fast that she felt she couldn't keep up.....The car pulled over at the front of a beautiful looking mansion, and Elise stepped down from it. Her son followed suit.The grandeur of the mansion at their front
"So, what do you say, young man?" Alpha Rory questioned, as he watched the young man who was nonchalantly sipping on the glass of wine which had been served to him. They were currently at his pack.And for the umpteenth time, Rory wondered if he had acted in his own interest at all.Barely after his decision to while away time at a private island the previous day, which hadn't actually worked. All the time he had spent at the island, had filled his mind with nothing but thoughts of Elise. Was he that soft?"Why did you abduct me?" He heard the young man say yet again, and his gaze darted to him. He remained silent for a while, without a word. In his eyes was the same spark which Elise's held. The calm and calculated way in which he spoke was the same with Elise's. Uncanny resemblance."You're being trailed." Without mincing words, Rory said. He didn't let his gaze leave the latter. What was his name again? Alex was it? That was right.However, when his expression didn't change, Rory's
A CLUB"Having fun?" Rieka asked loudly, staring at Aella.Her voice wasn't loud as expected. The music in the club was too loud and Aella wouldn't be able to hear her if she didn't raise her tone."Yeah," Aella nodded, smiling. Rieka has been by her side ever since her parents passed away. She has helped in so many ways by caring for her and consoling her when needed. She had helped her out of the trauma of the death of her parents.Aella looked at her lovingly."What?" Rieka caught her staring at her. "Come on, don't get all emotional right now. Let's have fun tonight, okay?" Rieka urged."Oh! Yeah…. We should," they both laughed heartily.Rieka smiled deeply as they held each other's hands while dancing. It's been long she saw her best friend smile this way. It wasn't a bad idea bringing her here, anyways. Aella's happiness has always been a priority to her since they shared the same pain. Pain of not having parents to look after them. They were just 22.She sighed. She must make
CHAPTER 101.The sunlight poured into the room immediately Elise pulled back the curtains. She winced, and returned them to their original positions.She had slept in, and was feeling so fatigued. The previous night, she had a movie night with her dear son, and it was taking a toll on her. She glanced at her skin. It wasn't wrinkled one bit.Would she never become human? She sighed and was about to head back to her room, when she heard the doorbell ring. Her eyes narrowed. She had no human friend, and wasn't even expecting anyone. Who was it at the door?With agile steps, she hurried to the door. Her heart thudded against her chest, as her tempo increased. As it always did whenever she sensed something ominous.A young smiling man was at the door, when she opened it. Her brows narrowed, as she tried recalling where she'd seen him. "And you are?" Not trusting herself to speak, especially not to a stranger, she let the words out. He didn't respond. Her frown deepened. She was still a
CHAPTER 100.“You look absolutely lovely.”I nodded with a small smile and she led the way out of the room and into the hallway. We passed by several maids, all dressed in the same black and white uniform she had on, running up and down the halls, dusting surfaces while chattering away.They’d pause briefly, staring me up and down and muttering incoherent words, and then they’d go back to their cleaning. I felt quite uncomfortable under their watchful eyes, but the maid in charge of me, whose name I did not yet know, gave my hand a small squeeze and whispered into my ears.“They’re all saying you look lovely.” I smiled at her, thankful that I had someone that nice looking after me.We soon arrived at the door to the throne room and she stopped just before me.“I’ll be out here waiting.” She said, I muttered a ‘thank you’ to her before disappearing behind the doors.The throne room was enormous, with sunlight pouring in from the large windows and every inch of the room screaming royalt
CHAPTER 99.The words were out before he could stop it. He turned his gaze away, and looked through the window, at the sky which was getting darkened every seconds that passed by."Me too," It was moments before he heard the soft whisper, behind him. He turned in doubt, as if afraid it had been his imagination."It seems it wants to rain," Elise whispered in the dark. As if to confirm her words, a flash of lightning crossed the sky."I guess." He replied, with a nod, at loss of what to say.Silence reigned, none of them venturing to speak. He felt the edge of the bed sink in, and turning to see what it was, softness pressed against his chest. He gulped loudly."What are you doing?" He whispered hoarsely."Doing what you're deliberating within yourself, to do." She replied, as she wiggled her hip gently.Gently, not moving her gaze away from his, she straddled him, and grinded softly against him. He moaned softly, and wrapped his hands around her waist, pressing her harder against him.
CHAPTER 98. LARKIN The woods was silent, as I walked deeper into it. I avoided the thorny shrubs, clasping my hands behind my back, and humming a tune to myself. So relaxed, was I, like I had nothing to do that morning. Like I didn't promise my mother to help her clean up the house. The woods was dark, the only source of light, was the Sundays, which cut down through the leaves on their branches, above. I soon got to my favorite spot, and began stripping, when I suddenly heard a sound. My ears perked up, and a frown crept up my face. I whirled around towards the direction where the sound had come from, however, I didn't move an inch. I listened yet again, and heard it. It sounded low, than the former. Cracked, like someone in pain. With my heart thudding against my chest, I inched closer to the thicket. I gulped down nervously, but strangely enough, I wasn't afraid. "Any one there?" I called out, boldly. I soon got to a huge tree, and a glance made me gasp.Crouched at the sid
