THE RED EYES AND THE TRUTH"Oh my goodness!" Avery placed her hand on her chest - Danika's arms akimbo, staring at Avery with an emotionless face. "You scared me. Why are you staring at me like that?""Where have you been?" Danika ignored her question. She watched her close the door and have her seat on the chair. Several seconds passed and Avery wasn't responding. "You won't answer me?""I took a stroll, nothing more." With a clear shot of an eye, silence belittled what was going on in their minds. Danika thought her cover would be blown soon and Avery was thinking about Jasmine - What did Danika know?"Alright, if you say so." Danika shrugged her shoulders. "How was the stroll?""Why are you asking weird questions?""Who knows? You might be seeing someone in secret."Hearing that from Danika gave Avery a pump shift in her heart. She made sure nothing came out of her mouth. They took turns staring at each other until they were facing each other. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
LYCAN KINGAvery's POVNahigra's face - pale - visible from the entrance of the door - why is it that the alpha never visited? SLOWLY, I walked towards her - slower than the tortoise obviously; I don't want to disturb her sleep.Through the series of glaring errors I received from Danika yesterday, I don't want to go through another one today. With her back facing me, I'm not sure if she is sleeping or not, but let's consider that she is asleep. I sat down gently on the chair as I looked around.Nothing has changed - Was I expecting something to change? Not really. After a few minutes, I started talking myself into leaving and coming back when she woke up, but that would be another round of tiptoeing and opening of the creaked door. Still and calm like the ocean, I decided to wait a little bit and hope she'd wake up.One hour has gone by, and I have filled my thoughts with everything I can think of. Asking questions like where is Nicholas right now? What's he doing? Regret tapped me o
A LITTLE SECRETCharles and the unknown visitor made eye contact - cold as it should be - a keen look into each other's eyes as their arms brushed each other. The 180-degree stare ended when they were a few meters away from each other. With their backs against themselves, they took another sneak peek at each other before disappearing out of sight.Charles held the doorknob, twisted it, and entered Devon's chambers. Devon was calmly resting on the chair. "Why didn't you knock before entering?" It dawned on Charles that he didn't knock before opening the door."I'm sorry, alpha." He halted and bowed.Devon waved his hand. "Why are you here at this odd hour?" He asked, and further his speech. "I know I gave you too much freedom to move around the castle as you like, even to the Hall, but know your limits, Charles."Charles didn't utter a word before and after the speech. He kept his silence, but his hatred for the alpha knows no bounds. He just wants to strangle the alpha and end it at t
THE DYING ALPHADay in and day out, Alisson and Nicholas have been trying to rebuild the destroyed houses. They lacked manpower, but they have to try no matter what. Jonathan has been stalking Nicholas for a while and Alisson was aware of everything that was going on with him. Yesterday, Jonathan almost succeeded in his plans as he tried to kill Nicholas in his sleep, but Alisson stopped him from carrying out his act.The more Nicholas stays, the more Alisson finds herself stuck to Nicholas. Alisson's father noticed what was going on, and he warned his daughter to step down in anything she was trying to do - she denied it.They were trying to rebuild the infirmary. Nicholas was on a loose top, and he was sweating profusely, but Alisson found it sexy. Alisson's uncle noticed and he went over to his brother."What's wrong with Alisson?" He asked, starting at Alisson."What's wrong with her?" Alisson's father answered.He pointed at Alisson. "She has been all over him since we saw them.
A VISIT TO THE GRAVE"What are you talking about?" Jasmine asked."You're the alpha that will die soon," Groots repeated himself.Fear gripped his already-made thoughts about his condition. He wants to fix everything before he dies. "Is there a death date?""Death date?""Yeah, I need to know when I'm going to die. There is a lot I need to do." Jasmine yelled."No, there is no death date, but it will happen soon.""If you don't know the death date, then how soon?""My Lord, I don't know. I wish I could.""Where did you get the information from?""Just like how I wrote the Super-natural. It came like that too, but this time it just came all of a sudden, I was not expecting it. But there is even more.""What is that?""Someone else will die too.""Who is that?""I don't know. There was no name."Jasmine sat down. He was speechless and did not know what to think at the moment. "Where have you been for the past few weeks?""I told you," Jasmine glared at him."You didn't. Only when you to
EVERYTHING IS NOT GOING TO BE OKAY.The Dead; What do we need when a loved one is gone? Do they hear us when we talk to them? Or we just hoped they'd listen when we cry and wallow in the misery that they are gone and we will never get to see or talk to them again.Jasmine's last days with his wife, Dakota, were memorable ones for him. He couldn't think of anything less than being with his wife all day long. The Beta at that time took care of things while he was away and there was no cause for alarm. He held his mouth when he couldn't hold on to the weeping.Avery's POVI have never seen a man cry except for my father when my mom died. Secretly, he went into his secret room, but little did he know that I was there. He almost cried his eyes out, but as the strong girl I was trained to be, I didn't show my emotions and made sure he didn't find me in his weakest moments. Same here with Jasmine as I rested on the tree.He lamented hard as if he had committed a grievous sin. It was a bad on
YESTERDAY IS GONEAvery's POVTime and chance happen to all. But, mine has never been in my favour. Time and chance are opposed to me in ways I cannot think of. Nicholas was the last person I would love to see at that moment. Will things get out of hand this time? Or will I get sent packing to Blessingstoke first thing in the morning? Jasmine is gone, yeah, that was the best thing he could do at the time - run. Nicholas knows people's faces just by staring at them. I hope he does not remember Jasmine's face and draw it as he did to Groots."Welcome, Nic." I acted as if nothing happened, and I'm sure as hell that he knows what occurred and he didn't hide that fact."Who was that man?" He asked me and I froze."You mean that man?" I pointed toward where Jasmine passed earlier."Don't call me stupid without calling me stupid, Avery." I felt the anger pressing on."I'm not. It is just a man I helped and that's all.""Why did the man run when he saw me?" I was getting pushed to the corner.
THE HUNTNicholas POVI saw Avery again with a man, not a young man, but a very old man on the verge of dying if I may be allowed to say that. Is Avery cheating on me? I mean when I caught her with Elias, I was very angry not because she was doing all those things with Elias, but because she was not standing by me when I needed her the most. Stupid will I will be to leave Alisson and then go for Avery.But, she is your mate! How do I believe in Wahika? The alpha might have told him to do what she has to do for peace to reign. I'm not against anything but I need to avoid drama to stay sane in my clan. There are a lot of things I won't do on a normal day, but I find myself doing them.The book I was given by Hoots' brother got me thinking. I couldn't sleep because of it. It kept ringing in my ears that I needed to do something before it was too late. Time went by and I was not aware, stuck in the pages, and how it affected my life. My birth wasn't mentioned, the same as my death.When I
