As soon as I stood up in Thomas's shirt, he came out of the bathroom, drying his hair with one towel; the other was wrapped around his waist. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw me.-What is this? -I asked quietly.He looked at the shirt and then at me.-I'm not good at chemistry. -He answered confidently, taking a step toward the aramarium to look for clothes.Chemistry? But it looks like blood.-It is blood, isn't it?He laughed.-Why would there be blood, Anne? -He untucked a shirt.I dropped the shirt, confused. I think I'm getting paranoid, this not knowing Thomas well enough makes me sick. First he tells me his past might be scary, then he's with vampires, he's super mysterious, and I really don't know what to believe anymore.-Forget it, I'm leaving.I left the room at a fast pace, went down the stairs, left the house and started to walk, but then I stopped in my tracks when I didn't recognize this street. Where am I? I had never come here before, I looked around a bit lo
THOMAS. I was on my way into the high school when some screams and a feeling in my chest let me know that something was wrong with Anne. As soon as I had left her at her house, I knew immediately that inside was that idiot Apollo and some other people, I was dying to know, I admit that I had stayed parked for a while to listen to what they were talking about, about Anne and Apollo being brother and sister, which seems very strange to me by the way, because if they were, they wouldn't be siblings.I walked briskly towards the back door, hearing Anne's cries more heartbreakingly, they were hurting her. I could feel it. Damn it. I started to pick up my pace as I reached the woods, whoever it was wouldn't make it out of this alive, because I had made a decision and that was to be with Anne always. To protect her.In the distance I could see five girls, they were kicking her, Anne was on the ground taking the blows with a pained face. Without a fight. Almost unconscious. I didn't think
Carolina's house was silent, her mother was gone, Will and Ale were gone, just Carolina, Kenzie and me. We had left the hospital shortly before Thomas left, I didn't know very well why he had left, Carolina the only thing she told me was that he would tell me everything. But I didn't see him and it was getting dark.We were sitting on the couch, watching a romantic movie called Remember Sunday I was so entertained and in love with that movie that I had forgotten everything that happened today completely. And it felt good to forget. My body still ached, but with the pills and the ointment it was getting better.I couldn't go home like this, so I told my mother that I would stay at Carolina's house for the next few days.-That boy is so cute," Kenzie murmured. Oh, and I still haven't forgotten about Connor, his infidelity. I need to talk to her about that. The movie was almost at the end.-It's everything any girl wants," Carolina opined.It was true, Gus was a sweetheart and we all loo
Thomas looked at me expectantly, a hint of confusion and amazement crossing his features. I bet my proposal puzzled him. I don't even know why I asked him that, I just did it and that's it; I guess I'm tired of the physical and verbal harassment and I just want to learn to stand up for myself, learn to be strong and, maybe, turned into a lycanthrope the pain will be less.-What are you talking about, little Anne? -he questioned, walking slowly and taking me by the waist to lead me towards his house.His touch sent an electric current through my body, made me shiver.-I-I'm sorry," I stammered, then cleared my throat. We stopped in front of his door, looking at each other.-You're not thinking clearly," he said. Believe me, you don't want that.I frowned, "Why would he say that? Is it so bad to be a wolf?-I love him, Thomas, wolves are strong. Not weak," I answered honestly.-Is that why? Because you want to be strong? -He looked at me with a frown.I nodded.-Hmm... I don't want to b
-I think you're calmer, aren't you, little one? -Thomas appeared in my field of vision, folding his arms and giving me a reassuring smile.My heart squeezed.-I don't think so. I don't think so," I replied, turning my back to him in search of my books. I felt him follow me.Kayler was talking to Carolina, it didn't seem to be a pleasant conversation. I grabbed the books from the table, giving them a quick glance and then turning around.-It's not good to feel anger, you know that, don't you?Thomas was walking along with me, very insistent.-Thomas, I imagine you don't feel it because you haven't had to endure any of.... This-we went out into the hallway. The bell would ring at any moment and I always liked to be first in the classroom.-Wait... -he stepped in front of me, causing me to stop. He placed his hands on my shoulders. His touch sent an electric current through my body. I hadn't realized how close we were, it reminded me of our almost kiss last night.I hadn't realized that
That message had puzzled me - like Mom was lying to me? What did this mean? Was it some kind of joke? With trembling hands I typed in a reply:Who are you?I waited impatiently for her answer, as I slipped my cell phone into my pocket and started walking, I wanted to be alone. I was so angry and sad inside that I didn't know what to do. Thomas had lied to me, although the truth was that I would have liked him to tell me to my face, that he had the guts to confront me. That's why he behaved that way with me, it was just his game.But why, what was in it for him?Walking several minutes later I was in front of the school, but I wasn't going to go in, so I passed by and kept walking towards Carolina's house. The forest was dark and gloomy. In my mind there was only Thomas. Only him.After walking several meters I entered the forest, the one that was covered with snow. I don't know why but I think maybe Thomas might be at home. I walked in silence, determined to get to his home. I don't e
To say that the look on Apollo's face went from sadness to joy was an understatement, he got up from his chair, grabbed me by the waist and started twirling me around, totally happy. I couldn't help but smile.-Apolo, put me down," I said, hiding a smile.-I can't believe we're not brothers, God! I was already giving up, I didn't know what to do. -He rubbed his face.I smiled at him, but that means one thing: mom lied to me, she lied to dad and Apollo's dad, but why? Well, it seems like everyone these days lies to me. It's like a favorite pastime.-Congratulations, boys," the doctor told us.-Thank you," said Apollo.-Ah, we have to go," I picked up my bag and put it on.-Sure, I'll give you a ride.We went out into the hallway.-We have to talk to our parents," I murmured. Mom will listen to me.-I'll text Dad to meet us at your house," she announced, pulling out her cell phone and starting to type. Your parents will be there, won't they?I nodded, I guess so. We went out to the park
Carla, Vanessa, Christian and Gregory had already come about two hours ago, Carolina's house was a bit crowded and I was sleeping here too, which I don't think was necessary because mom and dad had already seen me beaten, but now I honestly didn't want to see them. They... They were not my real parents, they had adopted me and that makes me think: who will be my real parents? Will they live? Why did they leave me?-...right, Anne? -A voice brought me out of my thoughts and made me look at everyone in particular. We were sitting in the living room, in a circle, with a cup of chocolate each. The only ones who weren't there were Kayler, Connor and Apollo.-Hmmm, what? -I asked, embarrassed. Sorry, heh, I wasn't paying attention.-I'm telling you, before I met Carolina you had no friends," that was my brother Christian hugging Carla.-No, I didn't have any friends," I confessed.-Why not? If you've lived here all your life, not even a known neighbor? -Ale asked.Well, let's say everyone l
I woke up feeling voraciously hungry. It was like he hadn't eaten in days. I got up and sat on the bed, still groggy from sleep. Next to me was Elder, fast asleep. Had I been the one to awaken the wolf in him? Thinking about it scared me a bit... I got out of bed and went to the kitchen, but when I opened the fridge I saw that there was nothing inside: no meat, no vegetables, not even yogurt... How was I going to satisfy my hungry now? I took a deep breath to calm myself and tried to think clearly. He needed to find food... or something that could replace it for now. I suddenly remembered that Elder had some bottles of blood kept in his closet. I took them and opened them quickly; I needed to drink that fresh blood before fully transforming into a wolf.Breakfast ready: I went to the kitchen and got some eggs, bacon and hashbrowns from the fridge. I put them in the pan to fry them with olive oil. There wasn't much to do for breakfast, but I wanted it to be special because it was Eld
Elder kissed me passionately, his lips moving against mine in perfectly timed fashion. His hands ran down my back and he held me close to him, making our bodies merge into one. I wanted so badly to make love right now, to feel his warm body inside mine… But then Elder jerked away. "We can't," he said hoarsely. "The other wolves will be watching us." I was frustrated and disappointed, but I knew he was right. Although we couldn't be together yet, knowing that Elder felt the same way about me filled me with hope for the future.''fuck it'' he snapped and kissed me even more. Elder stared into my eyes and I got lost in his gaze. His lips moved against mine and his hands trailed down my back, pulling me close. I wanted so much to make love right now, to feel his warm body inside mine... Elder slowly took off his shirt, exposing his muscular torso. I stared at him, surprised by his beauty. Then I realized that he was naked too... and I was not wearing any clothes. Our eyes met and in that i
ELDERElder left the boarding school looking for Amara. He was carrying a flashlight and a knife, but he had no idea where to start looking for her. It was totally dark and cold outside, and Elder knew that wolves were dangerous in such conditions. But he was desperate to find his girlfriend, so he walked resolutely into the forest. The full moon shone through the treetops and Elder could easily see his way through them. Suddenly he heard a noise: it was as if something was moving right behind him... could it be Amara? He turned quickly, but there was no one there. He felt a chill as he thought that maybe it was a wolf following him to attack him… Shaking those terrifying thoughts from his head, Elder kept moving forward until he reached the skylight. There he saw Amara: she was sitting in the center of the clearing, completely immobilized by fear. Her eyes were wide and Elder guessed that he must be seeing the wolf slowly approaching her... Elder was sitting on the ground, his back ag
I woke up when I felt hands on my neck. I still couldn't open my eyes, but I realized that she was being kidnapped. She felt my attacker's rough breathing and the smell of sweat on her fingers. They took me up a steep path until I was finally able to open my eyes. She was in the middle of an unknown forest, surrounded by tall, bushy trees. There was no one in sight except my kidnapper, who introduced herself as Melania. It was obvious that she was a werewolf: she had the same physical characteristics as me and she smelled just like them. However, I did not perceive any trace of the pack to which she belonged; she must be a loner. "What do you want?" I asked her with a shaky voice. "Oh, I just wanted to meet you," she replied, smiling forcefully at me. "You've been hard to find." I didn't know how to answer him, so I remained silent, staring into her bright green eyes. I suddenly saw her lips part from her to reveal a pair of sharp fangs… and she then she attacked me! "Don't you dare do
''Amara, please relax,'' Flavia tells me, but I felt weird making out with her. She's a lesbian, I'm not. I felt so close to her that I could smell the sweet vanilla scent of her skin. Her lips were so close to mine... It was all I could do not to kiss her. She knew that if she did, she wouldn't be able to stop. So I stayed still and tried to suppress my desire. But then she moved even closer and her lips brushed against mine... I couldn't resist any longer, so I kissed her hard. She answered me immediately and her hands began to explore my body. I felt like she was on fire... Never before had she felt like this with anyone. Our tongues intertwined over and over again in a passionate dance, our bodies pressed against each other... I wanted to get her out of the car and take her somewhere where we could be alone, but I knew it was dangerous: if we were found out, we could seriously hurt the relationships between our families. So we finally broke apart, both gasping from the intensity o
The full moon peeked through the forest, unable to rest. She felt like the Moon was snowballing her way from this planet to the other, and all she saw was drastic changes in natural tracks until the end of time. So she listened to something very harsh from the Moon that had begun its journey to the oceans for seven million years and she did not know when she would be next to her love again. She was a kind of spiritual member of the Space Wind, for that reason he felt her presence with more intensity and breathed the laughter of his answers, until the Sun went out...The fire was so big that the sky looked like a very luminous black cloth. Elder knows that the full moon is special because there are wolves like him in the forest, but he has never seen a light so bright to see them. Under the fire, his eyes were white and disenchanted.''Elder'' his father called him and the full moon came to his door. The wolf was very sad and asking for help to get out of this situation, Elder replied:
The next day Amara received classes at the boarding school; the first thing she left behind was a sheet of text with the words she had written to him. She was as if she was with nobody, and so she was more and more: most of the time she was left alone, until finally her mother no longer visited or called.Despite the fact that the last time he spoke to him was last Friday, yesterday morning he was in his room around noon; already with a white shirt and black pants, with his small glasses hanging in his right hand. Just like every other day, he approached the front door of the room, but never entered it. He barely felt his presence and just said "What is it?" sometime, but no more. The day before was similar, however. Once he told her that she was never coming back, and he asked if he wanted to see her as soon as he could, he was able to contain himself to crack a smile and reply, "Yes, I'll send you."And there then, before he wasted it, he put on his father's white t-shirt and field
''Please let me go,'' I begged Jean Paul's father. She had me kidnapped."I won't, Amara, until Jean Paul shows up"Love and love, dear father of Jean Paul. It doesn't make your grave bigger. Memories of you remain forever in my heart...The clock had already run out for the whole day: night had not yet come. Sometimes the bed was a kind of life, as if it were his own land; other times the bath or the enemas seemed if they were pieces of art. In the best of cases, that was my last breakfast of loneliness and rajones. The father's face was looking at each other while he cried and thought.In the friendly environment of the bedroom, the father tried to convince me that I would give myself to him soon, but I preferred to hide on the way out.After all, the entrance door of the dormitory was full of prisoners. An insider informed us that the bosses were in the courtyard, where they were talking to the guards who were going to look for Jean Paul. The afternoon had already ended and the roa
Amara and her friends Flavia and Mell spent a lovely afternoon at their picnic. Heaven made it feel like they were going to dance, but it wasn't anything wrong. The park was full of corn, water and forests that seem to blow. The children had fun along the way. Of course, Amara started talking to them about the big things: the police, the Templars, the gang members, and the little drugs… Well, some of the other characters had other ideas. Like the Carnival mask, which is a person that Amara doesn't understand why she likes it so much. That gave Flavia and Mell a bit of a spark… I don't know if she meant to be carnivalesque, but maybe it was a great idea. Finally everything ended perfectly. And Amara and her friends came out with the magic of Carnival. The girl told her that although I don't know who she was, she was a very good person.The next day, Amara went to her class and woke up in a huge rush. She felt like the hours of sleep were lacking. Taking advantage of her energy, she did
