"Hayley I didn't like the report I got," Lance began. "You and your family need to conduct yourselves properly for the period of time you'll be staying together."I nodded and answered, "I'm sorry." "You're free to go!""Okay but how was your day?""I said leave," he replied, fuming. I blamed myself for lacking my usual self-control. If I had not gone ahead to punch Elena then none of this would have been happening. Lance would probably have been in a good mood and we would have had a nice friendly conversation. I was hoping he would snap out of his foul mood soon. I passed some people already making their way to the living room because the movie was about to start. "Hayley, hurry up the movie is about to start," Adam from within the mini pack I was placed said to me as he breezed by me. "I'm coming," I replied in a high pitched tone. I unlocked the door to my room, turned on the lights and scanned every inch of the room for anything strange before I entered. The room gave me th
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I lowered my voice to sound a little innocent, so I could appear cute since I had just woken up."Why am I looking–" he began with a whisper before abruptly getting up to meet me. "Do you ever wake up early Hayley?""Oh, it's morning already," I muttered."I was so tempted to dump a bucket of water on you but then I had to consider my bed," his glare never for once left his face.A part of me thought it was cute. "It is not cute and I am very upset," he pointed a finger angrily at me, making me throw my head backwards and groan."Don't look at me like that, I was tired and I'm not looking forward to training with you that much, you of all people should know I do my best to avoid fights," I confessed hoping he understood. "You're the Luna of this pack, people expect more and you should learn to stand your ground, not like you were ever going to win in a fight," he argued with me and I gasped out in dismay.I didn't reply to him after his stateme
"Come at me you weakling," Lance shouted as a means to infuriate me and it was working. Growling aloud, I moved fast for an attack but he caught my every move. At the beginning of the training, he was only using the power of reading thoughts but then I blocked him out and I still didn't even stand a chance and he had to stay on the defensive side."You're being weak Hayley, focus your energy. You have a lot of it," he said, still stopping my attacks.I realized that he paid way too much attention to my attacks from the arm and I was able to hit a few kicks at him. He was not a perfect fighter as I thought and I was going to have to use it against him."You do know I can read your mind," he paused and I used the opportunity. Using my entire strength and body, I pushed him to the ground, pinning him down too."If I were a villain, you'd be dead," I said with a smug smile."We'll you're not," he replied and I tried to get off but he had a death grip on my thighs, holding me down."Let m
"I'm sorry, it was supposed to be a prank," said Elena when I confronted her about poisoning me. "Watch it Elena! I'm not that little Hayley you felt so free to mess with," I snapped. "Oh really? Is it because you're now Luna? To me you'll always be my baby sister," Elena said, priding herself with her position as first born. "I'm giving you one last chance to behave yourself or else I'll send you and mother away," I said with an air of finality. "Yes Luna Hayley," Elena said, mockingly. If it was another person who had called me Luna my heart would have done a Summersault ten times over. I had still not yet come to terms with what I overheard Elena and my mother say yesterday. I needed to speak with someone, the professor of medicine, he ought to know something that could help me reclaim possession of my healer power from my sister. Lance would still not let me out of the pack so I had to send for the professor to come over. "Hello Hayley," he said to me once the lines were con
"Hayley, I've been looking everywhere for you," I jerked up abruptly at the sound of the familiar voice."Grey, you want to give me a heart attack?" I said holding my chest to placing my other hand on my head."Sorry, I missed you a bit. I'm tempted to ruffle your hair," he said, smiling smugly at me.I stared suspiciously at him, he was acting rather weird for someone that took pleasure in laughing at me."What do you want, Grey and if you touch my hair, I'll make sure you regret it," I narrowed my eyes warningly."Relax, I wanted your help," he said, dragging his words and looking at me like I was a child."What did you do?" I was more suspicious than I was before."I may have left Sonia while she was asleep. I got bored and I went out to hunt with the rest and now she's mad and when she finds me, I'm dead," he blurted out and I almost felt pity for him.But as a means of retaliation, I bursted into laughter. He gave me a flat glare but I couldn't help but continue my laughter."And
Hayley was in the pack medical clinic and she was attending to the patient Grey had informed her about. The situation was even worse than she had anticipated when he had explained to her what was happening to the patient. Ever since she came to the storm growler's pack, her little workshop had been where she worked from. However, now that her ability as a healer status had been confirmed by the number of treatments she had done she had been promoted into a full-time worker at the hospital. "Just relax," she said to the woman. "I'm trying to but I'm feeling it spread faster!" the woman complained, holding Hayley's wrist. "Please do something quickly. Oh my god! Don't let me die!"Hayley felt it was her fault that the woman laying on the bed was dying. She could have been killed spot on but this was done to her as a message from the vampire king, Scar. He bit her and let her go so she could inform the pack of his message to surrender to him Hayley, or suffer death continuously. There
"What's going on?" I asked no one in particular. Everyone was even busier than I had ever seen.I had been in my workshop since after healing Lance. He fell asleep and I was glad that he could finally rest without actually having a fear of dying of the curse. Finally, I saved him.But I still had no idea why the entire pack was so busy, I wanted to be sure that someone was coming and the person was really important but Grey or Lance would've told me ahead."Beam!" I shouted her name immediately and I caught sight of her. She looked my way and a wide smile spread across her face as she walked up to me."Hayley," she said."What's happening here?" I asked her at once."Well, we're celebrating," she replied in a duh tone."Whose birthday?" I pressed on and she scoffed."Nobody today," she shrugged."Will you just tell me?" I blurted out, already irritated."I was asked no to, but I'll tell everyone that you threatened and forced the information out of me," she smiled and I gave her a fla
Still in the room Beam had led me to, I marveled at everything Beam had achieved in her art. Drawings of werewolves in different shifting forms were pasted in one out of the four walls of the room. My senses offered a tingle when I realized that we were both all alone. Before I could say what I was about to say, I felt someone punch me with a spiked glove. Beam screamed out of fear! She ran towards the door trying to open it, but surprisingly we had been locked in from the outside.I tried to fend off the attacker but he was too strong. Even when I wolfed out in partial form, I was just managing to barely defend. He drove his knee into my rib cage and I felt the air crushed out of my lungs. I dropped on my knees and he pinned me on the floor, stepping on my throat. I knew for sure that we were going to die here, alone, unheard and probably discovered much later. I felt pity for Beam. Earlier, Lance had sort of stopped reading my thoughts and emotions. The attacker was cladded in a hoo
"The witches are at the castle with Vladimir" Grey told me, offsetting my balance. "What?! What are they here for? Did he tell you?" I asked, my breath hitching. If they were here for war, then I am truly fucked. At this point, I'm at the brink of losing my mind over my face, I can't tolerate any more adversities. "He said they are here for a truce" "Truce? The witches?" I looked about the hall to make sure no one was eavesdropping or nearby to hear what we were saying. "I can go and bring them here. Lucas said they had come last night but he didn't want to bother us until he confirmed they didn't use that as a camouflage" "They slept in the castle?" My eyes widened in rage. The witches are not allowed in my castle. Whatever their aim is for coming, they belong in the bush, not in a place like mine. "They left for the hotel nearby. Lance, I think they are here for good. From what Lucas said, he overheard Vladimir threatening Zara that he would make her suffer just like her peopl
When I reached the hospital, I went straight to meet my friends who happened to be in the room where Sonia was still with her baby. But this time instead of the happiness that was on her face when I left her earlier on when she gave birth, her face had gloom etched in them. She waved me to her when I came in and encumbered me in a long hug "I'm so sorry Lance, we tried everything to stop her but she wouldn't listen to us. I would have done more but you know Harley" I took her hand and kissed her knuckles "it's not your fault... I have cleared the mess. I just hope she recovers. Then this would be in the past" "What did you do to her?" Grey and Mike chorused. I exhaled thinking about the scenario that just took place at the dungeon before I came "I killed her after making sure she suffered. I tortured her with whips, and saying it right now makes me want to feel the joy I felt from back there" No one said anything, just nodded their head. Nonetheless from their faces, I could tell
LanceI rushed into the hospital shouting at the top of my voice for all the workers, who ran to me taking Harley from me. Grey was by my side tears gathered in his eyes. I have never cried as much as I cried today after she passed out."Doctor you have to do whatever it takes to restore my mate I beg you," I tell the pack doctor. Dorcas was weakened from the charm she had to pull off at the battleground, if not she would have been the right person to do this."Alpha, I will do everything I can to help our Luna if I can, I promise," He said and closed the door after him, keeping me out."Lance!" Petra ran out from another part of the hospital reminding me that they were still here. "What happened? where is she?"I couldn't say anything to anyone right now. I needed to hurt someone anything for what just happened."Grey what happened?" she asked Grey when I wasn't forthcoming with any answer "Someone say something!""I think we lost her" Mike said slowly just walking into the hospital.
The minute she was about to stab me with the sword, I closed my eyes waiting for her to give me the final blow that would take my life but it wasn't forthcoming.Then as if wanted to open my eyes to see what stopped her, something else happen. I was pulled from the ground I was kneeling and elevated to the sky all my strength returning to me.I looked about me in shock, my mouth open, my eyes wide and my hands spread wide. I looked about the battlefield and saw that the dome was now open and standing there was none other than Dorcas in a very complicating posture.She was shinning brightly with her hands pointed to me, her eyes bearing fire in them.I was still mesmerized with what is happening until I began descending until I reached the ground, my feet touching down a few feet from the wide-eyed Elena."Harley" She mouthed in awe.I was looking about my body to notice that I was no longer feeling any pain. It looked like I have been totally healed, with my body surging with so much
Harley After I saw the blood on my hand, I knew that Lance was going through something and needed my help. I didn't know how I was going to help him, I just knew I had to go there to help him in any way that I can. I had told my friends and they had tried to convince me not to go on, insisting that I don't leave. I was more than grateful that Petra had arrived so she could stay with Sonia, while I go in search of Lance to see if he was still okay. After what seemed a futile exchange with them, including Sonia trying to blackmail me emotionally into staying, I had left them my legs leading me straight to the Northern part without much resistance or search. When I entered the battlefield I was nearly overcome by the stench of blood mixed with sand oozing from the field. I stood at the entrance, scanning my eyes about until they landed in the familiar body of Lance swaying to whatever Zara had done to him. Before I knew it, I was running straight to him meaning to stop her from hurt
"Harley what are you doing stop it this minute go away!" I told her shaking my head vigorously as she stood and faced Zara."Awwn, isn't she so sweet Lance, look she wants to take your bullet" Zara riled, clapping her hands. By now the others have stopped crowding closer to see us. Grey ran to my side in concern but I pushed him toward Harley "You have to stop her I beg you" I saw the uncertainty on his face."Zara, you promised you will not hurt us, why are you doing this? I thought we had an understanding?" Harley forged flailing her hands about."I made no such stupid promise Harley, I wouldn't be so foolish as to say that after what Lance did to me and my people" Venom was laced in her voice as she uttered it."Please Zara we can settle this without any fracas" Harley reasoned at the adamant ZaraZara started rolling her hands about once more "I think I have overstayed my welcome Harley, it's time for your Lance to pay for what he did" she was talking and still rolling her hands a
LanceLooking at the way Harley was holding unto that baby, I experience a kind of contentment and joy I never knew I could. I was amazed at how beautiful and perfect the baby looked in her arms.When she asked me to hold him I nearly passed out with fright. Me, hold a baby. I have never held a baby and the very notion of holding one was flabbergasting. For once I wanted to decline but the look on her face doesn't brook any argument so I had to take the pup in my arm.It was incredible the way I felt once the child was in my arm and Harkey was close to me still cooing to him. I imagined what it would be like for us to have our child, which made my heart soar when I thought of the fact that he or she was on the way already.My eyes instinctively found hers smiling when I saw her touch her stomach earlier on, thinking how our baby would baby look."Touch him like this" She had instructed me on how to tweak the rosy cheek which I did, eliciting a hint of a smile from the little one. Wow,
It has been a week now since the letter was sent to the witches but there was yet to be any response from them. I had rushed back that day to stop the letter from going, being that I have a new resolution, only to find out that the omega had sent it. Ever since then, I have been training seriously and waiting for them. It happened just as we had envisaged. The witches didn't attack as they had promised. Three days have passed and now it's the seventh day. Nothing. "Lance, are you going to stand there doing nothing or come to help me button up my dress?" Harley whined from where she is standing struggling with her morning dress. "Harley, don't you think this dress is too big for you? " I taunted her to see her blush through the mirror. I relished in seeing her blush whenever I riled her up. She soon regained her feistiness, swung her hair, and huffed out loudly "Say all you can Lancelot, you can't piss me off this morning" she applied a rouge lips gloss on and picked her bag from t
"What?!" How can they say such? And why would they even inform me in the first place? They have been attacking for a long time and haven't given me any time why would they suddenly start giving me a hint as to when they would come?"This is fishy. I smell something awkward" I said my thought aloud."I think so too" Grey concurred "The witches never give notice before an attack." he confirms my fear "I think it's a detour deception" He forged on "They want you to think they are coming in three days and prepare for that, then boom they attack tomorrow or next"That was exactly what I thought. I started strolling in the direction of the terrace. This is becoming daunting. I swore a long time ago not to fight in a long time to come but the witches are really getting on my last nerve. I'm working hard to be on their good side so that they would lift the curse that was ravaging my mate but that doesn't mean I'm a fool or don't know what I'm supposed to do."We would prepare Lance. This is
