PATIENCE IS A VIRTUENicholas POVAfter she had told me her story. It looks exactly like mine, but I'm not ready to tell her mine. There is no night - we only know if it is another day when the sunsets and when it rises again after a couple of hours.I went to where she laid, and woke her up."We are going hunting together today." I said. "Sleep only if you want to starve." I added.She grumbled, clearing her eyes with her index finger. She stood up."I'm older than you here. How do you think I have been feeding? Don't tell me what to do. I'm very well aware that if I don't work I won't eat. The only thing I lacked from then till now is a good sleep. I sleep with one eye open everyday because of the wild beast here." She explained.When she mentioned wild beast - A thought crossed my mind."Why don't we kill a wild beast, so that we won't disturb ourselves when it comes to food." I suggested.She looked at me disgustingly."Are you planning on staying here forever?" She asked me.That
TUG OF WARWhen the door slammed open. Reginald and Beatrice walked in. Devon watched them as they approached him.A black-black outfit. Tightly stuck to their body. They both bowed to the alpha."Long live the alpha." They both said, and the alpha just nodded his head.After a few seconds of the nice gesture. The alpha asked them."What brings you here?" He asked.Reginald looked up to the Alpha. He stared at Beatrice before he continued."My king thinks a truce should be signed. And the great war should end in our era, and never pass on to our next generation." Reginald responded."Thousands had died. The king does not want anymore killing. It baffles him to see people who are not aware of the war for a thousand years die. It hurts." Beatrice added.Nahigra entered the room. She saw Reginald and Beatrice in front of the alpha. She smiled, and stood by the alpha."They came for a truce." He told Nahigra.Nahigra stared at them while Devon whispered to her ear. Beatrice's facial expre
WE ARE SURVIVORSNicholas POVThe falling waters from the top of the cave echoes underneath the chambers."The water is falling. A sign it is about to happen." She said,"The darkness?" I asked."Yes."We walked outside. I stood at the entrance about to leave. With every step I took I saw she was following me."Why are you following me?" I asked, and I reminded her. "Darkness would soon come, why don't you stay around so that you can make it?"She looked at me and smiled..."I don't want to." She said,"You don't want to leave?" I asked just to be sure I heard right, and she nodded."Before my father, the alpha passed on, he told me that great power comes with great responsibility, and the responsibilities of the alpha include seeing the person you love most die, and there is nothing you can do about it. My mother was framed for what she didn't do. Because she had a clash with my dad, our enemies found a way to manipulate my father, and make it seem like my mother tried killing him. I
THE HATE WE SECRETLY GIVE.Allison strolled into the forest. The fogs were less visible. She sniffed the air as she will always do.She glanced around, trying to find Oleander. Oleander is poisonous to humans, but never to a wolf. They tend to forget what it can do for a werewolf.She saw all the other poisonous herbs her father would always say. She plucked to her satisfaction. Just as she was about to leave, something shook the trees - Hastily, she looked at the trees going from right to left until they stopped.She stood on her toes and prepared to shift and run as far as she could. She heard another ruffling sound of the trees, but she was not seeing anything or anyone doing that."Okay… Who is there!?"Fear was the deal of the day for Alisson. She walked carefully, hoping she'd make it through this.From behind, something huge started walking toward her. She was furious, looking left and right.She finally heard a snarl, then repeated snarls. Slowly…she turned around to face the
IF I CAN'T NO ONE WILLAlisson finished taking care of Nicholas with everyone watching her. The wound on Nicholas would arguably leave a scar. She stood up, supporting herself with the help of her left leg which had been on its knees."I'm done here. The poison has been removed, and the wound will heal, but I'm afraid it is going to take time," Alisson said, heading toward the door."To where?" Nahigra asked. "What if he dies?" she asked her.Alisson, who had almost reached the door, turned around to listen to what Nahigra had to say. The words she heard weren't enough for her to stay behind."If I wanted to kill him, I would have done that before coming here." She replied and dashed out.Nahigra scoffed. "What arrogance," Nahigra said, walking towards Nicholas.She massaged his hair. The omega was not taking any of it - she wanted to see him breathe and smile at her, telling her everything is fine now."Elias is coming here." Wahika's voice rang in Nahigra's head as it did to others.
A TRAMPLED FLOWERAvery's POVI felt Elias's warmth getting closer to me. I was stuck to my feet, and I couldn't step back.His face came closer to mine, and I still could not move my head.Our lips are inches away from each other. I knew if I closed my eyes something would happen, so I didn't.I can feel his eyes are not closed, and instead of slightly parted lips, I saw him smirk.I drew my head backward and saw him gaze at someone behind me.I looked back. This was the moment I knew patience was a virtue - I should have waited.Nahigra stood still, and Nicholas just stormed out of Elias's room - I have seen this scene before, but why is he this angry?I followed him to explain to him what had happened, but Nahigra stopped me."You don't need scars on your body. Do you?" She asked me.I wasn't ready for the talks. I just want to explain things to him."If I don't do it, I'd leave a scar in his heart. Physical scars will never amount to emotional scars. Let me go please." I begged Na
BAD DECISIONS NICHOLAS'S POVThe quiet serenity accompanied by the torches lit and pinned to the bricked wall. I was on this two-way street with a stranger I met in the other world.I leaned forward to gaze at the scar she was trying to show me. It looked ugly, but it was a scar to her beauty.I smiled. "How did it happen?" I asked her.The anger boiling in my head cooled off without me realising it. Her hand was still holding her robe, not to cover the scar."I think you'll bore me if you keep showing me this." I said with my eyes still on the scar.She closed it immediately. "Sorry." She said,"You haven't answered my question." I reminded her.I broke all of her defenses. I'm sure she thought I had forgotten about that, but I didn't."It is about my county." She said,I asked further questions about her county."What is wrong with it?" I asked her.She sighed. "When I left the white witch —""Wahika," I told her."Yes, Wahika, the white witch. I was tired of staying in the room,
LOVE IS LOSTAvery's POVSeeing Nicholas awake is one of the arguable things that would have made me unhappy; and right now, I'm losing my sanity.Nahigra was also fuming like I am and Devon was just surprised about everything Nicholas was telling him.When Elias walked in - I was sure that nothing good would come out of this. Overnight, the person I had cared for suddenly turned against me.Nicholas' feelings were hurt when he saw that Danika, her childhood friend, tried to kill me. He hasn't accepted the fact that she tried killing me.Danika was precious to him. But, one thing I'm sure of is that Danika was in love with him; And with me in the picture, I shattered her dreams to be the wife of Nicholas, and not only that - Nicholas showered me more attention.Another war might be looming soon with the look of things. The leader of each pack has anger issues, and it would be bad if both of them decided to make war instead of solving this amicably.I would have agreed to the alpha whe
