Freda’s povIt has been a week since I got suspended from my job at the hospital. All thanks to Annie. Apparently she has shares in the hospital and was able to influence the opinions of the other board members including Zack. Turns out that she was right after all.Zack will always be on her side and never on mine. At least not anymore as he used to be. All the promises he made to me in the past, he was faltering on them, all because of Annie. I guess what they say is true; you never truly get over your first. I got suspended for taking drugs from the hospital without due process. I did this only because I wanted to save Zack’s life from death. His injuries were severe and he needed medical support. I couldn’t have done it without the medication I used. And in the end, he let me take the fall for it. Alone. I could not have been more heartbroken. I was so sad and angry. At myself, at Annie and at Zack. Annie is clearly trying to ruin my life and he is not even doing anything about
Annie’s povThe hunger, the thirst, the unsettled nature of my senses seemed to be a lot heightened. Every day was a struggle robe sane but now it has become a norm in my life. My senses are now on high alert and with each kill, I am stronger and stronger. This have become a way of life, living of dead flesh. Not just any dead flesh, soul that was taken by me. The thrill from hunting and killing a prey, the smell of fear and terror from the poor prey and the taste of adrenaline in the blood of the fallen is what satisfy the thirst. Since coming back to the red moon pack, the hunger and thirst had been awakened once again. Back in the overseas, it was quite dormant. Maybe it was because of the densely populated area and the high level of security. I had to be extra cautious of being exposed to the outside world. But here in the red moon pack, where nature is at it’s peak, it may seem that I can finally indulge my cravings for hunt and kill. The smell of humans mixed with wolves cre
Annie’s povI vowed to keep my dark secret hidden, to shield Zack from the truth at any cost. I couldn’t bear the thought of his disappointment or, worse, his rejection. I had to find a way to control the darkness within me, to stifle the insatiable urge that threatened to engulf my sanity.The night enveloped me in its embrace, casting elongated shadows across the walls. My resolve wavered as I grappled with the enormity of my burden, my mind clouded by fear and uncertainty. I know that the road ahead would be treacherous, fraught with challenges I could scarcely fathom.But deep within the recesses of my soul, a flicker of determination burned brightly. I refused to succumb to the darkness, to let it define my existence. With renewed resolve, I set out on a path of redemption, determined to find a way to break free from the chains that bound me to my cursed fate.As the first light of dawn pierced through the veil of night, I made a solemn vow to myself. I would conquer the darkness
Zack’s povI and Freda were at the dinning table. We had just finished eating dinner. Aiden had told me about an incident that had occurred at the town square. . He had also mentioned that because Freda was present the man had a surviving chance. Freda was about to leave. “I heard what you did for a member of the pack today. “ I said. She sat back down. She was silent and was looking down. “Aiden had told me. You helped a man today. He would have been dead if it weren’t for you. “ I said. She looked up and shook her head. “No, he had a fighting chance because he is a warewolf. He would have been dead if he were human. “ she said. “Like me. “ she added. “Still, I think he would be dead if you did not help him. Thank you for that. What kind of injuries did he sustain? “ I asked. “There were claw marks and teeth marks and a few chunks of his flesh was slashed. “ she said. My brain was racking at the piece of information. It was no mere animal attack. It was a warewolf attack, a
Annie’s pov “We can’t let this go unpunished. Freda needs to understand the severity of her actions.” I said. At the boardroom with other board members, I stood accusing Freda of her past crime against the hospital. And as usual Zack has swooped in to rescue his damsel in distress. He came just in time to hear me drop the accusation. He was already against it. But this time, I will not let Freda get off easily as she did the last time. This time I am aiming for her practice license as a doctor. Once her license is taken from her, she will feel that Zack can no longer protect her, most of all, from me. She will finally run away from the mansion not being able to stand Zack’s presence any longer. I know what practicing mean to Freda. The few moments I spent with her as close friends, I could see how much what she does mean to her. It will kill her to know that she will not be able to practice anymore. That will be my chance. Once she is no longer in the mansion, I can move on wit
Freda’s povI was all tied up to a tree. My mouth was tied. I tried to figure out where these men brought me to. At first I had thought that Zack had sent them to find me but with the way they handled me like a prey, I am certain it is not Zack. Zack would never treat me like this. Then who are these people, I wondered. Could they be kidnappers or serial killers? But why tie me to a tree in an open place like this. Why not in a cave or basement or cage like I see in movies. Just when I was trying to figure out what was going on, Annie walked towards me casually. She was we Kaine. My eyes widened in bewilderment. She and Kaine are behind this? How is this happening.Yes, I was certain Annie was up to no good. But never have I imagined that she was working with Kaine. Knowing fully well how Kaine tried to kill Zack many times. But here she is, with him, like they are besties. I should have known. Who else would want me out of the way other than she. How can she betray Zack like this
Zack’s pov“You dare and try to kill her? Isn’t it enough that you want me dead? Now her too? What did she ever do to you?” I growled at Kaine. “She chose you. Her biggest mistake is choosing you with all your problems and shit over me. I could have given her a happy life which you are obviously incapable of giving to her. I mean, considering how she ran away from you. “ Kaine taunted. “Shut up. “ I yelled. “What would you know about love when all you do is betray all around you. “ “And you who know about love. You could not hold onto your first love and your second love, you can’t even protect her. We both know you don’t deserve it. “ Kaine said. I was fuming already. I launched at Kaine with a shout. Kaine blocked the attack. We both faced each other. We almost looked like we were about to tear each apart. At least that is how I feel. I was so terrified when I could not find Freda. My heart raced at the thought of what could happen to her if I don’t find her on time. And I
Freda povI am running in an endless tunnel. I can't really see because it is very dark around and yet somehow I don't hit an obstacle. It just seemed like I know where I am running to, and yet I am oblivious of my surroundings. The tunnel had a murky smell, almost like I was in a sewage tunnel. The smell of stagnant water and aged bacteria was heavy. I paused to catch my breath for a while. I was panting heavily, my chest heaving in an un symmetrical pattern. I looked around, squinting hard in the dark trying to make sense of where I am. I looked down, there was water under my feet, my shoes soaked to my toes. I walk slowly, moving foward, my arms stretched out to feel for any object that may be in my front. Just then I hear growls. Snarls and teeth gnashing that seemed to come from behind me. Terrified to my bones, I slowly turned around, and for some reason I could see what was behind me though it was still very dark. It was a huge monster, one I have never seen before. It
