LUIS:
I have no idea why Soma is here, but the expression on her face when both of our eyes meet might have said something about her intent. With the way it is, it might be something about this being a plan of hers to get to see me. The thought of that has my mind going in disarray, and I don’t mean it in a bad way.
I could be wrong, though. But ever since that day at her office, we have not had the chance to communicate because I did not drop any means of reaching out to her. And neither did she. No one was even informed about a possible meeting between the two alphas. This then would be the only way. This also means my analysis could be correct.
To avoid any attention to me, especially after seeing the Luna there with her — and, yeah, her sister too — I make a turn away from the direction I was initially going. It would be better I do that because Soma could very well make it obvious something was occ
SOMA:Staying annoyed with him is not enough to express how I am really feeling now. Especially after he just walked out on me all of a sudden with the claim that he was not doing that. I don’t care whatever his reason for leaving might be, but he shouldn’t have done that while we were in a middle of a conversation. But were we?I’m so mad at him right now. So mad that I could hit him right in the guts if the need be.Wasn’t venting my frustration on him about his cowardice enough to let him know I was displeased with him? Or did he just choose not to get the memo? And I so much hate speculations about something going on around me. More reason I face my problems onward.Staring at where he occupied not too long ago felt like I was staring at a blank space. Who would come now and see me doing this and still think I’m sane? They sure wouldn’t know what I’m goin
SOMA:Crickets chirping. Halfmoon glowing. And the only being with actual flesh and blood walking about under the shade of nighttime is me.Might be dark everywhere but lights were provided to hide one through. Without any of that, I know I could still find my way about the place. Only that I could get lost once or twice because I am not too familiar with the premises.I wasn’t the only one out. Not at all. A few times, since I stepped out of the room assigned to me which has Cassie in it as well, I’ve come in contact with a few warriors acting as guards around here. Asides from the fact that most of them would recognize me for my identity, I wasn’t walking about in an ungodly hour. So since it has been all good.Desperation or whatever. I can’t say for sure what’s my giving for heading out to seek the man that got me all worked up... again.Again, a
LUIS:I feel reluctant to knock on the door but I just might have to do it. More or less like I have no other choice because in there is someone that can help me out with my current mental burden.The wooden door is flashing back in my face, and I stand looking at it for about a minute more before I muster the courage to raise my hand and hit it.Okay, I got nothing despite knocking on the door twice. Not even sure if I’m to try again or just wait until I finally get a response. I get that the timing wasn’t okay, hence the reason for my speculation.After a long while, I realize waiting wouldn’t get me the response I need so I proceed to knock again, this time a little harder. That should get me the response I need from the occupant of the apartment. Only if I’m not intruding on something.“Who is it?” I hear a somewhat grumpy voice from inside
SOMA:The serenity — yes, that’s what I like about where I’m in. Feels divine and every other satisfying word I can use to quantify this place.Music hitting out solemnly from obviously a jukebox. Nah, jukeboxes because the effect seems to be from more than one despite the solemness of it all. The activities of people trying to get their night kicked off with a meal or two alongside their partners, as well as the waiters and waitresses trying to meet up with the demand of the clients — that was everything about my location.Not for a long talk, because I’ve affirmed now that I’m in a restaurant. And like every other client, I was with a partner. To sum it up, I was brought here on a date which I would say is the first in years.Came like a shock to me in some way when I received a call from Luis yesterday stating he would like to take me out for dinner so we could
SOMA:He didn’t expect it, no. Because if he did, he wouldn’t be this surprised enough to even gape at me. Thought he was trying to act dominant here before.I sit upright soon after while staring at him acting all surprised still. Beats me that a grown-muscled man like him could actually be this affected by words that could end up being insincere.“You didn’t mean what you said, did you?” he asks, which I know was a little forced because he’s trying to compose himself.“Every word... I meant it.” I tell him, mostly because I have it in mind to taunt him a little. “Haven’t you got no experience in this? You’re acting like it’s your first proper night out with a lady,”He finally looks like himself once again. The same neutral vibe came exuding from him once more and I bloody love it. “I do have on
SOMA:The moment I step out of the elevator, I first sigh out loud. The sigh could not entail anything else other than it coming out because I am on the way to another day’s job.I take my time to stare at both ends of the floor I just ascended to. No one seemed to be passing or moving about yet. I get that this is the top floor which is for the executives only, but at least a few walkabouts should have occurred.Oh, timing, was what came to mind after recalling that I’m actually a little late today to work so most would be immersed already in whatever job they have to get done.Enough sightseeing. It was high time I find my way into my office. And so, after one more stare at both ends, I start to approach the left side of the floor whole holding firmly a file of documents I brought with me from home.For today, I chose a one-inch heel. Already said how much I hate he
SOMA:“You kissed him or he kissed you?” Cassie throws a sort of confusing question at me, earning a twitch on my face.“I don’t get you,” I say.“I want to know who made the first move between you two. Did he do it? Or did you do it?”I press on the pillow I have under my left arm while still trying to figure out what she’s trying to drive at with her statement. “Does it make a difference if it was me who made the first move or him?” I quiz, shrugging alongside.“It does, Soma. In a whole lot of ways. Kissing him first means you’re desperate to have him knowing fully well he has not made a decision about what the two of you share. But if it’s him who made the first move, then he’s starting to acknowledge the bond. Which, I will say, is a green light there,”Well, this i
LUIS:Leaving the land area into the woods uncleared is the most unwise decision made by the Alpha. Probably no one has complained to him about it. But without it being mentioned to him, he should have noticed it already himself. At least he frequents the woods.Because of the Alpha’s negligence, I have to make sure I walk really fast while going through the woods at present. If I had the super vision that most of the others have, I’m sure it would be a different scenario. But right now, I can only force myself to try to embrace the low area I can cover with my vision.I’m in here to train. Training has been the better part of me for years now. It’s the only way I can feel worthy of being a wolfling that already knows he’s got no chances of being like the others. Although it is a bother for me, I still ensure to do what I can do to make myself stronger every passing day.
SOMA:Two weeks later.Two whole weeks after the Dark Moon pack went through a whole crisis because of me. Two weeks after I managed to save them in some way. And two weeks after doing the only thing I thought best at that time which was to secure my mate.Marking him was never my intention at first. I have no idea what came over me. But I would pin it on the fear of losing him once again. Claiming him was the only way I can be sure of connecting with him should I case something like what happened to the Dark Moon pack goes down again.He did the same. Yes, he marked me too. And we went a full week after that trying to ease my unquenchable pleasure. Never knew a female wolfling would fall into a week of ecstasy after being marked. One of the reasons I should have taken my time to study a lot about my kind.But it was the best one week of my life. The best I could ever wish for. I
SOMA:I do not have it in me to do it. I tried but I cannot see myself killing my brother. Not even a bit. No matter the amount of rage fueled in me, there is a major part of me that still acknowledges him as my blood. So, no, I won’t do it.He must be surprised to see that he isn’t dead yet. Especially when he opens his eyes to look at the sword dug right into the ground beside him. It was at the last second that I changed the course of direction or else he would have been long gone now.I stand upright, pulling up the sword from the ground alongside. My eyes are closed as I take in a deep breath to relax my nerves. I must have hit an adrenaline rush by now with the rate at which I took the fight with him.“What’s stopping you? Why don’t you just kill me?” Harold's voice interrupts my brief peaceful state. He sounds like he is in distress. Almost as if he cannot t
SOMA:The transformation, the breaking of the chains, the chaos happening outside which was apparently something I masterminded — those things should not have happened, but they all did.It all came down to using the special gear. It was something fortified to counter the weakness bestowed upon a wolfling. One of a kind and linked with my insides and energy, according to what my father had told me when he handed it over to me some years ago.What I had just done set Harold into another round of shock. How I had suddenly transformed into my spirit wolf while he was attempting to strike at me was much of a surprise to him. It should not be happening. And even I would not have pictured such a thing if I had not remembered my gear.In his stunned motion, Rainia has aggressively clawed at him, right at his chest. At the last second, he moves back to avoid her paws digging right into his chest. Inste
SOMA:A closer look at me and you would know how much concentration I have fallen into. Although I have not shut my mind completely from the outside world, I can hardly hear anything ongoing around me. That’s if there is any.It would probably be the fifth time I would be in this state of position since I got the gear back from Leonard. And the usefulness that Leonard wanted to know about has not been maximized yet. I’m sure it would in no time.At the moment, I feel so confident. Much more confident than I was a day ago when I first opened my eyes to this hellhole. Much more confident than when I realized my brother has destroyed the image of the family bloodline. Even more confident when my mate proved to be as insecure as ever.I have this glee in me that something worthwhile was about to occur and I am in full preparation for it. I just want to set my mind to it and hopefully, it woul
SOMA:“Did being a Black Lotus fill a void in your heart? A void that no one else knew was there?” I was tempted to ask and so I do. It was mostly out of sentiment that I proceeded with that minutes later because I had to let him dwell in his regrets. There was no doubting how bad he feels about his action.He turns around to stare at me in disgust. And to be honest, it made me feel like shit. “Why do you care?” he asks. “It’s not like you were not blessed to be outstanding in all things while I was not. So don’t come at me trying to make it seem like you’ll understand how I feel.”“Have you always had a problem with me? I didn’t ask for any of this for me,”“That... That right there is the problem I have with everything. You got all of that without requesting but it was given to the wrong person. You are the wrong person,
SOMA:I have never been this hurt in my entire life. Not in my existence. Not even when I was cheated by was when I was little.Maybe he is right. I should have let him be from the scratch. When he told me that he wanted nothing to do with me because of his insecurities, I should have listened to him and let him be.“No matter the situation, at least show her a little appreciation for making an effort to save you. Don’t you think you are being selfish by making her feel worse than she already is?” Leonard snaps at Luis in my support and I know Luis is not going to take it lightly.“Stay out of this!” Luis talks back at him.“You do not get to tell me when to speak!”“It’s okay the two of you. Just forget about it,” I caution them before it could go further than that. And I am glad they adhered to it.
SOMA:I don’t know if I am fighting the feeling or the feeling is fighting against me. But the discomfort from it is not something my mind could withstand.Perhaps I am imagining things because suddenly I start to see the opposite of my mate right in this dark alley that I am in. Didn’t I subdue him earlier? What is going on here?As he starts to approach me, I try to move back but a force is preventing me from doing anything. I cannot move my legs and neither can I move my arms.The lightning speed he uses in catching up to me was beyond comprehension. And just like that, he has his hand tightened against my neck as he begins to snuff life out of me. That was the last feeling I got until I forcefully open my eyes to see that it was not real.My eyes try to get in line with the happenings around me as I gasp for breath. I was in a dark room just similar to the dark al
SOMA:The transformation took place within a second. Too fast to even worry about. But within that short time frame, I felt the quick breaking down and repairing of my bones as Rainia took over my entire being, pushing me to the back seat.The first thing she does is howl, claiming her right as the only available wolf here. That is if Mark doesn’t come out of that building to do the same. Luis was not a given in this situation.What would be revealed to the others now is a creamy white wolf about to go on a riot on all fours. A wolf three to four times bigger than the size of a built man. And with this, I could get the needed advantage over a dangerously possessed Luis.The speed at which Rainia takes to get to Luis is twice faster than my regular speed. And through her eyes, I can see Luis getting ready for the attack, which proves her speed has not beaten his yet.With he
SOMA:This is not my Luis. No, nothing about the man approaching me can be linked to the one I can confidently call my mate.The footsteps, his stare, it felt like he was deluded. More like possessed because the range at which he was coming at me felt completely different from the man I know.And to confirm my skepticism, I call his name, “Luis?”There was no spark of recognition from him. Not even a reaction to tell that he recognizes me. Immediately I knew how bad the situation is that I have to look up at the supposed mastermind of this whole thing — the masked man on the roof.“What did you do to him?” I ask, gritting my teeth in anger. I can swear that everything in me was telling me that I should charge at him.“What did I do to him? You’ll find out soon,” was the instant response I receive from him.
