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
A VISIT TO THE HALL"All clear," Hoots jogged to where Nicholas was.Groots heaved a sigh. "Sit," he told both of them and they sat down."I think you're with another person," Nicholas said."What?" He stared at Nicholas and directed his gaze to where Nicholas was looking at."There," he pointed. "I think someone is here with you.""That's my belongings too," Groots replied as calmly as possible.Nicholas clicked his tongue, but he could not believe what he said. That's not why I'm here, he thought."Yesterday was a bit horrific for me," Nicholas began. "I saw a lot of strange things." He brought out the book Groots wrote. "This book gave me a lot of mysterious things like opening itself up and showing me things I have never read in the book,""What do you mean?" Groots asked.Jasmine was a few metres away from them unnoticed. He inclined his ear just so he could hear them well."It flipped pages itself." He explained."It might be the wind.""I know what I saw Groots. It is not the w
ONE DAY IN A YEARNicholas POVEvery time, we say we would do it tomorrow; Little did we know that tomorrow never comes. I was a boy with a loving mother and a carefree father. It has always been 'never say never. In the beginning when we were young and free and we had nothing disturbing our day. We just sleep, eat and do them all over again. But, now we aren't flying freely and when we fly over the sun we get burnt.I sat down and watched the sunset going harmlessly on my skin. Another day is gone like that and I have hundreds of years to go. My mind wandered off to Avery once again - What is she doing now? I asked myself. I looked back to the best of our yesterdays and I saw the love and the fight. The only thing we didn't do was give up on ourselves.If I was told I would be in love with a human, it would be a terrible lie. I don't trust her right now, she might turn her back on me anytime soon, but the love won't end and that's all that matters."Why are you sitting all alone?" I
