"I was about to step out." Was his response.
"Did I stop you?"
He shook his head. "Not really." Came his vague answer as he offered me a smile. "I have to shif- do something before heading out."
I didn't miss the words he tried not to say.
"You were about to shift?" I boldly asked and his eyes widened in what seemed like a second at my words.
"You know about us shifting?"
I almost rolled my eyes. "Of course Aiden. There are over thousands of books and movies about werewolves in the world, everyone knows that werewolves shift, although I don't know if everything in those fictional works are real."
He nodded, before snorting. "Most of t

When I was a child, I always wondered what it would feel like to experience magic. I also wondered severally, if magic or anything akin to it, really does exist.As a Potter head also, I had my own share of supernatural fantasies. So bad that during Halloween, my parents would indulge me with Harry Potter costumes, the full package.Growing up, I let go of such fantasies and dreams to face reality. I had told myself that there was really nothing to this world other than factual science theories and the reality I was seeing.However, watching Aiden in Wolf form before me, his dark fur glowing softly under the spray of the Moon's light, I knew my long forgotten dream had been found.I could feel bubbling excitement course through my veins, I felt giddy and baffled, but in a good way."What now?" I asked excitedly as I looked at Aiden's huge and imposing Wolf f

We got to a clearing that made way to a big tree that looked like it was on top of a hill.Its large and wide branches covered the whole hill and the full Moon looked like it was directly above the tree, sending down its rays. I was awestruck at the sight before me."Wow!" I let out. Lost and trying to find the right words to describe the sight before me. "It's beautiful!" I let out again.Aiden stopped, then turned to face me as if he was concurring with what I just said. He continued walking the short distance from where we stood to the top of the hill.Once atop, there was a small clearing of carpet grass that gathered like a small blanket under the large tree.I watched Aiden make himself comfortable on the clearing as he laid down like he has been doing it all his life. Even as he was not standing, he still was large and commanding authority. However, that wasn'

"Oooh, you look so pretty this morning Ava!" I turned to see Layla's gorgeous self, dressed in what looked like white cashmere with a pretty blue jean. She looked casual but chick, unlike her work clothes which were usually pant suits and dress shirts.I grinned. "Thank you Layla. You look great too. No work today?"Her smile mirrored mine. "Thanks love. I have my day off today!" Two of us began making our way downstairs. "So," Layla began. Eyes glinting curiously. "Today a special day or what? You look too good to just be heading downstairs for breakfast Ava."I felt my cheeks heat up at her words. "Not really. I just felt like dressing up a little."Layla nodded as we began descending down the spiralling stairway. "Hmmn. You don't have any plans for today asides lectures and Soul kitchen?""Yeah." I replied. Layla's grin was wide as she clapped her hands together with glee. "Great! Since we both got time, why don't we make today girl's day out," she suggested and that had me per

My morning lectures and reading session went faster than usual much to my disbelief and before I knew it, I was done for the day with nothing left to do.And since sweet old Freya had asked me to not clock in before my shift, I was so bored that it was bordering on frustration.I tried to sleep away the idleness and boredom. But you know, what we wish for isn't always what we get.Then there was Aiden. The mere thought of the breakfast he had made this morning had me smiling like a fool. I could still envision how he looked in that black apron, lean muscles showing deliciously, while they contrasted at his every movement. I knew he was at home and it wouldn't take me a minute to find his handsome ass in his home office.But I couldn't just risk disturbing him since I saw Asher and the rest of the guards, Gus included, heading for his office. They must have tons to discuss.Letting out a frustrated sigh, I sat up, peeking a glance at the wall clock that was just beside my floor length

And still, it hasn't faded.A week later, I was still as drawn to Aiden physically as I was drawn to his emotional side.I watched Aiden's handsome face while he worked with intent and concentration as he pulled out packaged containers which I knew were undeniably, edibles, on the space before us. And immediately, the stomach teasing aroma of spices, herbs and food filled my nostrils, making me to involuntarily salivate."Hmmn," I let out an encouraging moan. "Smells delicious."Aiden flashed me a heart swelling smile as he nodded. "It should."I sat, with anticipation etched on my skin and my face as he unwrapped all the plates.Aiden after spreading out every single food he prepared on the blanket, helped me with a good serving of a bit of everything."Thank you!" I grinned cheekily as I took the plate from him.He returned my smile. "Enjoy."Nodding, I stared dreamily at my stacked plate. "Oh yes, I will."

His admission had me melting into soft goo.The softness that laced his tone when he talked about his family. And the way his eyes became so tender like he was reminiscing a distant but happy memory."It must have felt nice." I said with a smile."Of course." He nodded. "Lory used to cook up her usual storm with the intention of stuffing us full and we will gather here under the full moon, all wolfed out and just have a quality time."His story sounded so similar to mine.When it was just Dad, Mom and I. Camping out on our rooftop while sipping hot chocolate, marshmallows and just being happy. Oh, those happy days."Is it okay?" I blurted out."Is what okay love?"I took in a long breath before I spoke. "Bringing me to a place that holds precious memories of your family?"His laugh was light and melodious to my ears. "I don't mind Ava." Was his simple response as his eyes glowed with warmth. "Besides, I love

It was past midday and my day couldn't get any better.After my date with Aiden earlier in the day, I was feeling good as hell. It felt like my day had taken a new turn for the better. Even Freya had chipped in that I walked with a bounce in my step and the best part hadn't even began yet. Whistling a tune below my breath, I quickly made for the counter as requested by Freya, since Soul Kitchen was having a pretty crowded day."Hi girls," I let out in a singsong voice as I saw Poppy and Kate in their usual mood. Deep in conversation. I swear this two could give a radio station a run for their money."Hey girl." Kate smiled."Hi Ava," Poppy waved shyly in her usual way, while I flashed her an easy smile."Busy day huh? How is it going?"Kate let out a dramatic sigh. "Is it just me or did everyone on Titan land grow a second stomach." She let out another sigh, causing Poppy and I to let out giggles. "The orders won't stop coming.""Ummm," Poppy began. "Isn't that like, a good thing?""

"Who told you that?" I couldn't help but blurt out, her words still holding me in shocking grasp. "Where did you hear such a thing Maya?"She sniffled as she looked up to take in my face. "Everyone at school is talking about going to war." She supplied. "They are saying that Titan would soon go to war with Colossus." Then bursted out crying again, this time, she was sobbing audibly. "Maya dear, look at me." I pleaded. "No one is going to war," I tried to assure , but she shook her head to disagree."And even if we do," I continued. "No harm will come your way. The Alpha and all the strong guards will make sure you are safe.""But there is only much that they can do." She almost wailed. "Wolves like me end up dead in wars everywhere!""Who said such a thing to you Maya!""Nobody told me," this time, she tuned down on her sobbing. "I know Ava. I cannot protect myself, I will always be dependent on other people and when they can't protect me, what will I do?"Not knowing what to say, I t
