PLEASE, DON'T DIECharles ruminates and plots how he is going to leave the hall. He has not heard about the beast, the red moon, or the sea monster. Charles thought about his wife at home. “My lord,” he called. Devon stared at him.“Yes,” Devon responded.“I need to go home. My wife is sick and I need to be with her as soon as possible,”His work was done with Devon. Devon permitted him to go home. He ran hastily towards his house in the forest. “Wait for me. I’ll save you from any harm,” he said and hastened in his step.Charles` wife was busy feeding the dog when she heard the thudding of the ground, she didn’t mind at first, but when it drew nearer she knew something was wrong somewhere. As she wanted to go out to check what that was – She heard a loud hum, and what followed was half of the house gone. She was frightened at the condition of the house. When she looked up, she saw the beast and hid. The dog ran over to the beast, stood underneath the beast, and barked. Charles's wif
IT IS ALL CONNECTED.I woke up with the sweet scent of a man - My man. I felt his arms, protecting me like a child. He kick-started a brand new day with a smile. I paused to see his silhouette against the morning sun. As beautiful as it seems, migraine was the deal of the day. I grabbed my hair, trying to ease the pain from last night. I remembered what happened, but the memories were opaque."Hey, can you rest a little bit more?" His husky voice sent care into my ears, laying me back to bed."What happened?" I asked him."You almost gave me a heart attack. That's what happened." Nicholas stood up. "I don't know how a lady would risk her life for someone she barely knows." He picked up the jug and poured the content inside a cup until it was almost at the brim. Carried it and placed it gently on the stool beside me.I can only glare at him; too short of words he stole a glance at me - At once I knew what the stare meant. I sighed. "Are the beasts dead?" I asked him.He sat down at the
LET'S LIVE IN THE MOMENTCharles stared at his wife. She was soundly asleep with some scratches she got from the other night - He patted her head. Mensaviv crouched as he entered the room Charles was in. "How is she?" He asked."She is fine, I guess," Charles responded."About that night. What actually happened?"Charles changed his sitting posture, comfortably staring at Mensaviv. "There was a book the alpha brought out. It contains what would happen if they didn't kill the beast and the sea monster. Then I remembered my wife, and I felt she was in danger - I had to do something.""So, you turned?" Mensaviv gave him a stern look, and Charles was not capable of keeping eye contact - he nodded. "You shouldn't have!"He summoned his strength to say something. "We are talking about my wife here!""You can always remarry. But, you can't live twice, Charles. Imagine if your cover was blown. Both you and your wife would be gone! You need to keep your cool in situations like this." He paused
THE UNEXPECTED VISITORIn the past few hours, Nicholas had been acting weird - not weird, but it seems he is going to be away for a very long time. He sounded protective when the old man barged into me."I'm okay Nicholas," I said, but I did not only hear my voice, I heard someone else's - the old man.In fictional novels, I have read about vampires and their abilities to hear anything no matter how far. It seems I'm in that kind of situation right now. The old man gave Nicholas a stern look. I don't know who the man was, but one thing I'm sure about is that the old man knows Nicholas somehow - some way - anyway.There are questions I need to ask the man if we leave this place without him saying anything. My curiosity took a better part of me as I opened my mouth to say something. "Do you know Nicholas?"I can feel Nicholas staring at me. Yes, he would be confused and might ask me later about the question I asked the old man. What matters right now is to find out if the man knows anyt
THE UNKNOWN ALPHA"Who is there?" Avery asked when it was taking time for him to open up. He still did not respond, instead, he opened the door wide to reveal the person behind the door. Everyone was surprised except Danika.Avery thought about their last meeting which he disappeared out of sight. She was relieved nothing happened to him that night."Groots?" Nahigra muttered. Groots smiled as he walked inside gently.Hoots' fiance rushed out and stood at the door post. "Where do you see Groots?" She asked, using her eyes to scan the room in search of Groots when she saw him, she ran and hugged him. "Where have you been?" She asked almost in tears. Nahigra and Hoots did the same.He sat down on the chair as he scanned the room. "It has changed a lot," he said, and Hoots nodded his head. Wahika stood still, watching Groots. She did not say anything whatsoever, but she has been glaring at Groots since whence he came. Groots noticed Wahika in the room. "Wahika," he gave a faint smile, an
TIME AND CHANCE HAPPENS TO ALLNicholas POVIt was a good day, anything less is void. I collapsed in my mind, staring at the ceiling. My hands are on my chest as I rewind the events that took place today. It seems like a short day, but I enjoyed every little part of it. Avery should be home by now, but I couldn't hear her footsteps or a knock on my door signifying she was around. Should I go down to Hoots place just to find out about what's going on with her? My instincts kept telling me that everything is alright and I should calm down and take a chill pill.Minutes turned into hours and she was not at home. Shortly, I had the footsteps of someone coming closer to my door. I felt at peace. "What took you so long?" I said as I opened the door.Disappointment mixed with horror as I saw Nahigra. "What's wrong?" I asked her.Her face was depleted of tiredness, but mostly confusion. "Nothing." She responded. I know something is not right."Where is Avery?" I asked her."She is still in Ho
WAR IN ARTGroots grunted as he struggled to get out of bed. He looked around but didn't find anyone. He stood straight and stretched himself."You're awake," Hoots said, carrying a cup of water in his hand."No, I'm not. I'm just going to bed.""Stop with your sarcasm, Groots.""You asked a rhetorical question, and answered best.""You haven't changed.""You need me to?" He brought out his hand to collect the cup of water in Hoots' hand."It is not for you." Hoots drew back."I need water. I'm dehydrated." Groots said."After listening to the human, you decided to meditate, and you know what you have been through all this while spiritually.""What do you know?""You wrote the alpha's book, I guess that's all you need to put you in mental detention." Hoots replied.Groots sighed. "Please, give me water." He requested."Alright, I'm on it." Hoots said and left his presence.Hoots' wife sat down on the bed. "Since when have I been sleeping?" She asked."Been a while now." Hoots replied,
TAKE SOMEONE YOUR SIZE"Why are you staring at me like that?" Groots glared at Nicholas and Avery."We have been greeting you since the beginning of time, but you weren't responding. Thought you were in a trance." Nicholas replied."I wasn't. When did you guys enter?" Groots didn't stop glaring at them, making them a little bit uncomfortable.As Hoots saw the chaos that was about to set in, he intervened. "You weren't aware when they entered." He told Groots."How come? I wasn't in a trance and I clearly didn't hear a knock on the door, and I did not even see them!" It was pointless arguing with Groots. He has been worked up mentally. It was never his fault, he just needs a lot of rest and an extravagant meal he hasn't had in years.Hoots had an idea. "Why don't we prepare something for you? Maybe a nice meal." He suggested, and everyone liked the suggestion except Groots."What do I need it for?" Groots asked, Nicholas, sighed in disbelief, and the others could just look at what Hoot
