Every second that passed was pure agony, liquid fire feeling like it was running through my veins. I knew, without a doubt, that I was not supposed to be feeling like this. And if I was, and this was normal, then why hadn’t anyone bothered to warn me about it? After all, what would it have cost them to tell me that I would feel like I was dying? It would have cost nothing more than a moment of their time. But there was no point in harbouring resentment towards everyone who had the chance to tell me what to expect and they hadn’t. After all, what would the point of it all be? I would just end up forgetting about it, or even worse, I would remember it, and not do anything about it. And if I had to make an assumption, I had a feeling that it was going to be the latter of the two. There was a light layer of fur covering my skin, and I had to admit that it looked horrible. I was still incapable of moving without causing myself immense pain, but I could see the back of my hand and I consi
The delta whom I had brought with me to repair the window at Alpha Elijah’s house, nearly dropped the side of the glass pane that he was carrying, and it was safe for me to say that I almost lost my shit. It is not everyday that we need to replace a window of this magnitude, and the fact that we had even had a glass of this size was a miracle in itself. I also knew for a fact that this was the only one that there was, and if something were to happen to it, then we would not be able to repair the window. “Sorry. It slipped.” I decided that I was not going to respond to the delta, believing that it would be better for both of us if I kept quiet. I did not want to say something that would make him purposely break the window, because that would defeat the object. As much as I would have liked to give him a peace of my mind, I knew that it was not worth it. It was not worth it at all. We were almost at Alpha Elijah’s house, and I had to admit that it was something that I was thankful fo
I could pick up on Celia’s scent in the air, and even though I did my best to track it, it seemed that I could not. Regardless of how many times I circled the perimeter, it did not lead anywhere, and that was something that worried me. Celia was responsible - she would never have done anything to compromise her safety. She would have gone in, gotten the girl, and that would have been the end of it. She would have been back at the base ages ago, and yet, no one had seen her. And now that I wasn’t finding her, I was starting to worry just as the rest of our family was. I had tracked her scent as far into the pack as I could, and it led me right to the Alphas house - which was exactly where she should have been. But that wasn’t what the problem was. No. On the contrary, the problem was that I knew for a fact that she was no longer in the house because her scent was not as strong as it should have been. But her scent didn’t lead away from the house in any direction either. I didn’t know
“Let’s start off with an easier question. Maybe then, you’ll be willing to answer me. What is your name?” I didn’t know whether or not the approach that I was taking now, was going to be the right one to take, but I was hoping for the best. Up until now, I had been receiving nothing more than cocky responses, and it was safe for me to say that I was not happy with it. Not even in the slightest. “Celia.” Even though her answer was rather blunt, I could not help but send a silent prayer of thanks to the moon goddess for this small mercy. I knew that it was important for me not to jump the gun, but it was something that I couldn’t help. I considered this to be a sign of hope. And even if I just kept her talking about the insignificant things, hopefully it would build up her trust in me and enable me to figure out what was going on outside of our pack borders. “Celia. That is a nice name, although you don’t look like a Celia to me.” “I get that a lot.” I had to admit that that was n
I stepped onto the grass outside of Gwens house, still feeling somewhat unsure about myself. There was no one out here, for one, so no one would see me hobbling about in my new form, but that did not really make me feel at ease. I knew that this was going to be an adjustment, but I hadn’t thought that it would be this much of an adjustment. I didn’t know how I had managed to open the front door, but I had done it, and that was how I had gotten out. Luckily, I had been able to avoid doing something as dramatic as breaking a window, or something similar. If I had a choice in the matter, I would have stayed inside, but I couldn’t. That voice that had been in the back of my head had a strange impact on me. It made me want to go outside and roam the entirety of the pack. I knew that it was quite unlikely that I would actually be able to do so, but that did not mean that I couldn’t try to do it. After all, there was no one who was going to stop me from doing it. Elijah was the only person
I couldn't deny the fact that I found it rather odd that Matthew was doing what he was doing. After all, he had his own responsibilities to attend to, yet, he was neglecting them in order to do what? To go for a run with me? It did not feel right. Even though I had already labelled the window as repaired, it still felt wrong that he was just choosing to leave everyone to their own devices. It was just one delta, but you could never be too sure. I did not want him to get in trouble for this later, because I had the feeling that Gwen would not be as accepting of what was happening as you would think her to be. After all, she was the one who was undoubtedly busy doing all of the hard work and going through all of the effort of interrogating that rogue - and I knew that it was not going to be an easy task. I had seen the way that the two of them had been riling one another up, the way that they had been pushing each other to the edge. I had no doubt in my mind that things were not going
When I had initially taken off, I had not even been surprised by the fact that I had left Matthew in the dust. I felt like it was almost intentional that I had done so, that I had deliberately ensured that I did not give him the opportunity to catch up to me. I did not know much about what our kind did when they did these kind of things, but I did know that there was usually a thrill in the chase. Even though I knew that it was only a matter of time before Matthew would catch up with me, but I did not feel a single thrill in regards to this. It felt like I was just running away from a pack member when I did not really want to do so. I decided that I was not going to entertain this. It was not what I wanted it to be, and therefore, it was useless for me to pour so much energy into it. I just wanted to get this over and done with, and from there on out, I would make sure that he knew when I wanted to be alone. It was the simplest solution that I could think of at this point in time. It
Even though I was somewhat frustrated with what had happened between Samantha and I, there had been a part of me that had known that it would happen. I didn’t know how to explain it, but the moment that I had suggested for us to do it, it had been practically impossible for me to think about anything other than the fact that I should not be doing it. I could predict that I felt like this because of one of two reasons, but there was no way for me to know for sure which of the two it was. Firstly, there had been a part of me that had been aware of the fact that Samantha was freshly shifted and it was not actually acceptable for me to be bothering her as soon as I had been. But it had almost felt as if that was something that did not apply in that particular situation, due to the fact that she had been the one who had come to us. I had interpreted it that she had wanted to come and see me - which might have been the first mistake that I had made. But the second possibility, was the one
