Tanya’s POVThe morning was oddly beautiful, the birds chirped with so much enthusiasm and the dew that rested on the plants was too fresh. I could feel deep in me that there was something off about it. Stepping out of Moonlight Haven to begin my day, I noticed the usually quiet streets were unusually quiet, I began to wonder what was wrong. On reaching school, the same thing was happening. Was there a holiday I didn’t know about? The school environment was scanty; there were no students. I stood still for about ten minutes impatiently looking around to see if anyone would walk through the gate, when there was no sign of anybody, I walked out of the gate. I didn’t understand what was going on, I walked back home and still saw fewer people by the roadsides. I met Ethan when I got home, he was reading a book on the alchemy of souls. I quickly remembered the book I saw in the drawer yesterday. He looked up at me and smiled, his eyes sparkled with delight, even if his goggles were on, I c
Tristan’s POVAfter the meetings I had for the day, I decided to go to the water fountain in the woods to meditate and process the conversation that went down between my wolf and my father earlier. That water fountain had been my spot since I was a child, my mother would usually bring me here after my rigorous training. I took off my clothes and shifted, allowing Sky to take control, he loved it when he was on the surface, he’d play around and howl loudly making sure the other wolves knew that he was about to step out. He quickly stormed into the woods, running through the thick forest like it was nothing and after a few minutes, we were at the fountain. I wanted to shift to my human form when her scent engulfed me. “She is here, but how? In these thick woods all by herself? Sky began to impatiently look around for her, we followed her scent and it led us to the fountain. There she was, sitting pretty, her dark brown fell loosely beside her jaw and some to her back. Her slender legs w
Tristan was overwhelmed with everything that was going on thus his frustrations, he did not know how to handle everything. The rogue’s attacks on his pack were becoming too much, but he was still thankful that at least the rogues that came so far were the ones he could easily take care of, his main worry was the men he lost during the attacks. He decided to hasten up his chase on Tanya, he needed her to complete him. The next morning, immediately he completed his usual morning routine, he went to the healer’s to see his wounded guard, he was still unconscious but the healer informed him that he was responding to the treatment far, he felt relieved and drove back to Mystique University. Tarrell gave him information that she was at the Library and he sat outside waiting for her. Most of the students saw him and recognized him as the alpha and came closer to pay due respect, the girls looked at him lustfully and attempted to make seductive passes at him but he ignored them, he was alread
Tanya’s POVI opened my eyes to a dimly lit room, and a sharp pain flooded from my head to my eyes. A jolt of pain began clustering around my forehead and I let out a soft whimper, The only thing I remember was a car horn harshly blaring in my direction as I sluggishly crossed the road. I looked around to know where I was when I felt a man’s hand firmly gripping mine, I narrowed my eyes down to see who it was. When I saw that he was unfamiliar, a familiar emotion engulfed my insides, fear. He slept on the edge of the bed with our hands peacefully resting in each other’s, I slowly sat up trying to figure out what kind of place this was, it looked like a library and a hospital but an ancient one. There were old books scattered on a table that had a chair behind it while some were neatly arranged on shelves. There were also small bottles containing different coloured substances in them. The room exuded some sort of creepiness. I moved my left hand closer to his head in an attempt to pa
Tristan was overwhelmed by the turn of events, he didn’t expect them to meet each other this soon. He always thought he would stutter when they finally met but surprisingly there were no hitches with his voice and he didn’t have to manage Sky’s jumpiness when she was close. For some reason, he was silent, maybe because he was busy searching her insides to find a voice in her he could connect with. He was happy that she trusted him, the gazes and smiles she gave him while she was being checked by Aksher were all the confirmations he needed. The feeling of being in the same space and breathing the same air as her soothed the cores of his mind and soul, he had yearned for that moment and it finally came and he was already looking forward to more than what was to come.Tristan hurriedly drove down to one of his restaurants “Your Chops” the best restaurant in Shadowclaw to get food for Tanya. After he got the pasta, he drove down to KFC, where he bought the biggest and juiciest chicken alo
Tristan’s POVI sat there staring at her and waiting for her to wake up. What clouded my thoughts was what to expect after she wakes up and goes back to Moonlight Haven. Aksher’s words slowly found its way back to my head. He had mentioned that she had an energy inside of her, and it was so powerful he could not place his hands on it. It worried me, what could that possibly be? Is she more than human? Sometimes I wished the “Nights” I read about were still living, life would’ve been so easy, and they could’ve solved so many mysteries for me like this very one. Aksher knew less because he was only a healer. The soft buzzing sound on my phone pulled me out of my thoughts. I swiped the screen open to read a message, which was from Tarrell asking if we could meet later.Tarrell was not that serious a person to send text messages asking for a one-on-one meeting. He’d usually call to relay whatever information he had in a rather rambling manner over the phone. I texted him back immediately
Tanya’s POVIt was barely twenty-four hours since I met him and my heart was beginning to flutter. His gentle stares and smiles were captivating and for some reason, I felt free and safe around him. The guy whom I believe was his friend drove us back to Moonlight Haven. The drive was slow and steady, the car was comfy too. I had a hard time walking because of the injury my ankle suffered and before I knew it, he came behind and scooped me up in his arms, our bodies pressing hard against each other. It was so quick I didn’t know how to react. I was taken aback by his gesture thus my cheeks flushed with embarrassment. I looked away shyly but I was secretly enjoying every bit of it. My hands held on steadily around his neck with my head resting on his hard chest.I took that time to look at him up close, he was fine, his lips had a little smirk on them and he smelled nice too. I made sure to point to the directions of our apartment and he took me there.He gently knocked on the door and
Tristan’s POVTarrell drove me back home and made sure to be quiet all through the drive, looking at my temperament when I dashed out of Tanya’s apartment, he understood the message and knew I needed him to remain silent. He kept eyeing me through the rearview mirror hoping that I’d say something but I didn’t, I was too angry to talk.“What happened there? Tarrell finally asked, earning a glare from me to him.“Just keep quiet and drive.” I angrily responded.“Sorry…” He said with his eyes rolling. Tarrell stepped on the accelerator and in no time, we were home. I stepped down from the car and walked inside still thinking about how he tried to touch my woman, my own woman. My heart was almost jumping out of my chest with absolute jealousy and anger.“Oh, we had a bad day,” Adeline said, carefully reading my face. As I made no attempts to answer her, she looked further at Tarrell, her eyes screaming ‘what happened?’ Tarrell answered her in the same way by gesturing ‘I don’t know’ with
