“I am lying right here, you know?” Jeff said to me but I was too irritated and upset to apologize to him. They all became mute after my heartfelt speech and I smirked, knowing that they were contemplating on the matter.“What is your plan?” Mike asked, taking a pause from chewing his fingers. I looked at the other group to see that they were making progress by trying to shift the bone back in position, but it was only going to cause more pain for the child since they had no pain killer.“I need everyone’s help,” I said, squatting in front of the old man, ripping the lower part of his trouser away from him as I accessed his left leg. The spot where the wolfsbane was injected looked black as his veins slowly turned purple due to the infection. “Mike, you will go to my workshop, get me hypo-liquid, castle dust and you will also find a small bowl covered with a napkin. Please be careful, they’re all very important. You’ll find the first two ingredients on the top shelf, and it is written
Soon Jeff stopped jerking, he laid still and someone could almost mistake him for dead. I listened closely for a heartbeat and I was relieved that I heard it beat.The entire pack became as silent as a graveyard and it scared me, they were all waiting for me to do something wrong so they could have an excuse to throw me out or kill me. The way I prayed to the moon goddess, I never even believed I could. I stared at the injury for progress and nothing changed. Then I began to doubt myself, even if I had lost my powers, it did not mean I lost all the things I learned. It didn't feel right, I was so sure of the cure even though I got it from a last minute idea."What have you done to my husband?" Lia, his mate rushed out in tears, grabbing my shirt and pushing me away with force. She had so much strength for an old woman that it made me stagger backwards till I hit the wall and bruise my back.I watched her sobbing, begging her husband to answer her and I gulped hard. She was either over
"You all were spectacular today, although some of you lack the knowledge and some the skills and other the strength," Lucas faced me when he spoke about strength and my mood sank, he still was not proud of me. It didn't matter to me because I had already helped two members of the pack. "You are all qualified to be a member of this pack but under a condition. Be warned that if you make the slightest mistake for the time being, you will be thrown out." Everyone smiled at the information, they all had a pack of their own. I too should've been happy, but it was no use, Lance was never going to see good in anything I did, since I had no powers."You can all go now it's getting late," Lance finalised and everyone began to dismiss. "Hayley," my body froze when I heard my name. Lance called my name. Slowly, I turned to the direction of the sound. My heart began raining with the beating doubling per second. I had no idea what he wanted to talk about. I did so badly in the test, even when I
"Right and what will the rest of us eat? I hunted down this deer but do you see me whining about getting a big share?" Petra said arguably."That's your fucking problem not mine. Back off!" said Lucas, warningly. Lucas attempted to take another bite but Petra was not letting up. She knocked the meat off from his hand. He got angry and grabbed her by the throat. They began fighting and I was helpless knowing I could do nothing to stop them. I was angry that two grown adults were fighting because of meat. Although I blamed Lucas, because he was actually acting greedy. I wanted to seperate but I felt Lucas might snap my neck if I came close. Petra and I were not exactly on friendly terms. She might do the same to me. "Stop fighting the both of you!" I resolved to yell from my seat since I could not afford to get closer to them. "Fools, you're both going to get kicked out if Lance sees you fighting!" Tyler said. "Break it off both of you," said Mike calmly but they ignored him. In a
I thought I was supposed to be learning how to fight, not doing push ups and pull ups. Gray stood watching me count up to twenty push ups but the goal was to get to fifty. At twenty five I could feel my hands buckling but I kept going. I kept going but not with as much enthusiasm as I started it and at thirty I felt myself landing on the floor. I counted to ten letting my body take a rest and then I forced myself to finish the remaining twenty. There was the sound of metal clanking coming from nearby. Apparently, we were not the only ones who had come out to train. We were in a space outside which was a makeshift gym. Even the equipment used was not like the standard gym equipment found in those fancy gyms. I saw Jeffery and he was heavy lifting even at his age. Lucas, Shirtless, was deadlifting some of those heavy metals. He paid absolutely no attention to anyone. I looked around me and saw Petra doing some bench press. Mike just stood by observing everyone. Nice!" said Gray, comin
"When you are on par with Mike then you and I will have business but for now I don't want you coming close to me".Lance said in a cold voice but then began to cough. He held his chest and waited for the cough to subside. "Do I make myself clear?""Very loud," I said. Lance left without saying anything else. His cough made me feel slightly troubled. Gray and I took a stroll silently to my workshop. It felt a bit reliving to be away from the others and just being alone with him. It strikes me as odd that Sonia was not at his side. Although, I learned Sonia preferred to babysit some of the children like Beam. They were five children and Beam seemed to be the youngest of them all. "Hayley-""Gray," I quickly interjected cutting him off. "It's not your fault. You warned me. Let's just forget about it okay."He nodded. "So what medicine do you wish to create?" he asked as we entered into the workshop. "I want to create something for Lance's cough," I said. "I'm not saying that is no
"It's for Lance, you have to be sure it's okay," picking up a rag, I cleared my work table, not minding to look at him as I spoke."It's sweet, don't worry." "Saying that only makes me worry more," Gray frowned, still staring at the cup as if it were poison. "If you die, Sonia would hunt me down, so you're safe." Patiently, I waited for him to make a decision. Gray staredat me, then at the cup, then at me again. It was rather unnecessary because it was very unwise of me to use a cup of tea to kill him, even if I had something against him."If it makes you feel better, I could take a sip," I reassured and Gray finally gulped in the entire cup at once.Cautiously, I watched his every expression to know whether or not the tea tasted okay. "This is actually pretty good," Gray smiled."I told you, it's sweet. Actually, it tasted very sour due to the lime in it, but I added a lot of milk, thus creating a sweet cough tea," my face lit up in pride."Nerd alert!" Gray laughed and I retur
"What're you talking about?" I said. Fear gripped me more when I noticed how red his eyes were. He looked so sick, yet so furious and I seemed to be the cause."Lance, please relax." Gray placed a palm on Lance's shoulder but he pushed him off. "The tea," Lance responded.He glared hard at me and I gulped."What about the tea?" I asked, fidgeting.His glare hardened but he began coughing so hard that he had to grip onto his chest for support. I watched in horror how he did not seem to stop coughing, he slipped off the table he was holding and landed on the ground, making a thud sound as he did."You promised not to tell him," I whisper-shouted at Gray who did nothing but give an apologetic look. "He ordered me, I had no choice," he defended himself. Squatting, I met with Lance who was still coughing non stop. The tea I gave him was tested and trusted and not just by Gray, but also by past werewolves. The tea had been in existence way before I was born, so there was no possible way
