"Nothing ever happens, there's always something in the way." commented Anne, as she ate her hamburger. The truth is she's right, I can never find out anything, something always happens at the best part, maybe I'm just a few minutes away from finding out the truth and bam! The interruption. I took a deep breath. It was Monday, we were sitting at our usual table, Kayler is looking for my lunch, since yesterday she hasn't left my side, I don't know if it's too much of an exaggeration, for the same reason, I haven't been able to contact Paige, although it's not necessary to look for her, something tells me she's coming to me by herself. Kayler had brought me my lunch, placed a kiss on my temple and sat down next to me. We couldn't talk anymore, I've been so inactive, anxious, I've hardly slept well. But when Kayler is with me I forget all that, I just enjoy the moment being with him, while I can. I started to eat my burger, as I felt Kayler's gaze on me, it makes me nervous to b
No shit. This is not happening. This can't be true. Damn it. I was paralyzed watching those two huge wolves fight, and the worst thing is that one of them was Kayler. It's that same wolf who always defended me, who has saved me more than once, it's him. No wonder when he looked at me, that look was very familiar to me. Now I understand everything. Now I know his secret. And what hurts me the most is that he didn't have the courage to tell me, he didn't have enough confidence. He lied to me, he always has, even when I told him I didn't like lies, did he lie to me with other things? is everything Paige told me true? what the guy told me today too? that I'm his next victim? I felt the tears starting to come, I can't keep watching. I tried to move but my legs wouldn't respond. I was in total shock. I watched as my wolf, I mean Kayler bit that other wolf several times. He whimpered in pain and fell to the ground, pinning his ears back, giving up. Kayler stopped in front of him, panti
There he was, standing right in front of me, with his gaze on my eyes, his expression was serious, I always had a hard time reading his expressions. His arm was resting on the door frame, waiting. His gaze was the same as always, a little dark. To think that he is a wolf, a werewolf, my God, I tried to close the door but he, as if nothing, stopped it. "We must talk," he said in a hard voice. "I don't want to talk to you." I muttered, somewhat loudly, struggling to close the door, but obviously my strength is useless against his. Anne came over to me to see what was going on. She stopped dead in her tracks as soon as she looked at Kayler. "Oh, Kayler, well, I..." she looked at me, "I'll leave you two alone." She wanted to walk out the door, but she couldn't because I was pushing her to close it, besides I didn't want her to go and leave me alone with this one. "Anne, you're not leaving." I told her, Kayler wasn't even pushing that hard to stop the door, he was just holdi
Last night it was hard to fall asleep, my mind was always pensive, yesterday was such a heavy day, so full of emotions, my face is a witness of that, I look like a zombie. Apparently everything will be like before, like when I wasn't Kayler's girlfriend but unlike those days, he won't be after me, today mom brought me to high school, obviously she asked me about Kayler but I told her the truth, that we didn't hang out anymore. She was sad at first but in the end she accepted my decision. "Why don't you want to tell me what happened?" Anne asks. We were on the soccer field, lying on the grass, looking at the clouds, there was no one around and that was the best thing. Anne kept insisting that I tell her why I broke up with you-know-who, she thought it was very strange that I didn't come with him today. "Anne, I already told you, I found out something that.... I don't want to remember right now. I promise I'll tell you soon," I replied. We were in the third hour of classes bu
"What are you saying?" I questioned, putting the photo back. I can't believe what Connor is telling me, he and Paige are brother and sister. "It's a long story that..." He stopped dead in his tracks and looked thoughtful, staring at nothing. "What?" I asked. "You have to go." He said, still not looking at me. I frowned without understanding, and he immediately grabbed my arm, leading me to the exit. "Why? I don't understand." I reproached. "Paige is coming here, she can't see you here, take my car and go straight home, I'll be home later," he handed me the car keys. We went out to the yard and he kept pushing me towards his car. "I don't care if Paige comes, I'm not afraid of her," I stopped dead in my tracks. "Carolina, please leave," he almost pushed me into the car until I finally complied. I closed the door and started the car, "Don't stop for anything." I gave him one last look and started, as the road was clear and flat, I accelerated more, it was several kilom
Okay, this thing he said did take me by surprise, deep down I was expecting the damn answer to be no, just one or another animal nothing more, but there he is, telling me that he has indeed killed people, that maybe those people have been innocent. "How many?" I asked. He was about to answer me, but the noise from the front door prevented him from doing so. "Carolina, I'm home!" Mom shouted from downstairs. "I think we'll talk another day."He said, looking for the exit. I followed him. "This is not going to stay like this, do you understand? You're going to have to tell me everything, this time you've been saved but not tomorrow."I told him, as we went down the stairs looking for my mom. She was leaving her purse on the table and looking for something, when she looked up she smiled. "Kayler, long time no see!"She pulled away from him and, when I thought she was going to hug me, I stretched my arms in her direction but I quickly lowered them when I saw that she came
I grabbed my backpack and hurried out of my room, I had told mom that I would be going with her today, she was very surprised that I wasn't going with Kayler today but didn't ask any more. I went down to the living room and looked at her who was finishing her coffee. "Will you be done soon? It's getting late," I said. At 7:00 Kayler would be waiting for me at the soccer field to tell me some things. I don't know what's going to happen today and Anne didn't even call me to give me a reason or anything, I imagine she's devastated just like I was. "So early? It's twenty minutes to seven," she replied, looking at her watch. Yeah, that takes a while to get to school. "I know, Mom, it's just that I have to make the...." I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Kayler's car pull up "...go" I finished the word. Mom also looked out the window and smiled. "Just in time." She muttered "You won't be late anymore." she smiled. I glared at her and walked out to Kayler. He was gettin
I stood still, silent, watching Kayler. I couldn't believe what he had told me, he killed Scott? But they were best friends, I don't understand why did he do it. "I-I don't understand." I hesitated. The rain was threatening to fall soon. He came over to me and grabbed my arm. "Come, sit down." He said. We sat down on the grass. I still couldn't process such a confession. He had a blank stare. "Carolina, I'll tell you everything. I don't want to lie to you anymore." I nodded slowly. I mentally prepared myself for whatever he was going to tell me. "That afternoon Paige came home in a rage, she had told me that Scott had dumped her in front of everyone at school, humiliated her, I tried not to laugh because I had thought it was funny that Scott had done that, but I didn't. I was so angry. Then later she told me it was because he knew what we were." He paused" My dad had heard that last one, he didn't like it at all and said that even though we were friends we had to....
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
