I shrunk away as the sun pooled into the room threatening to blind me. I winced and cursed at whosoever must have left the curtain open at this odd hour of the morning.I sat up pushing the cover, up to my chin to shield my eyes from the onslaught of the sun. Looking around, I confirmed that no one was around and at the same time, my body was no longer aching like yesterday.I stood from the bed and went to the mirror to check out my outlook. To say it mildly I was looking like hell. I can't believe I had degenerated to this extent.I hissed and reached out to brush my fingers through my tresses to the back, still taking cognizance of the falling hairs. My eyes were sunken and so were my cheeks hallow, to be finished off by the paleness of my skin. I looked like a wreck.How would Lance look at me with the way I was looking? I felt ashamed of myself and just wanted to be far from myself if that would be possible.The sound of footsteps coming to the room drove me back from my musing,
It has been a week since the day that Elena came to make fun of me and said these mean words to me. Since that very day, I have been feeling very down physically and emotionally.Most times I stay inside hiding away from Lance, and when he sought me out, I lied that I was okay. Our training has stopped since he said I have to fully recover first before we would get back training once more. I didn't argue with him, and just let him have the upper hand being that I was tired of badgering words with him.Though when he wasn't around, I would sneak off to practice with Grey who I had made to swear his silence to me.However, things became tougher, due to the pack started experiencing attacks which they said it's from the witches. I was getting restless. If the witches are here that means they meant business. I can't just sit down and let them harm my people. I know Lance can handle it but I have to also play a role in making this work, as his Luna.I paced in my room today as I waited for
The more the night crawled in on is the more perturbed I became. Sonia was trying everything possible to keep my mind away but I couldn't stop thinking about it. Each time there was a sound or anything unwanted noise, I will shiver in fear as though having a feeling that Lance was in trouble or something. "Hey," I looked up from the chair I have been seating with my eyes pinned to the television, but not seeing anything. "They are on their way home" I jerked up my eyes searching hers " They are?" I quizzed disturbingly. Sonia nodded and flopped down beside me. After she had forced me into eating the rice she prepared, she had home on to give me different gist all of which I wasn't receptive to due to my distant mindset. "At least now I can finally breathe well around you" She surged. I smiled, my heart loosening up at the good news. I was about to say something when I heard footsteps and stood abruptly my eyes fixed at the door. The door flung open and there stood Lance, his e
It has been a week now since the attacks began and everything had been going on fine. Lance and the others have been able to safeguard the borders from their terrace and we have been in peace at least that's what we thought. I have been deteriorating. Dorcas had said as far as I took the drugs I was fine but, I have been taking it and yet nothing. Instead of it working, it seemed to have chosen the other day around. "I am fine Lance, stop hovering over me" I snarled at Lance who had been fidgeting around as if I was close to me my grave. Maybe I was. "Stop telling me that, Harley, must you be stubborn all the time?" he reeled and averted his gaze. This morning seemed very drastic. I had woken up with my entire body quivering. I couldn't make it out of bed. It looked as if my entitled limbs were paralyzed. "Dorcas would soon be here."He informed me as my body kept shivering "I wonder what is still keeping her" Just as he was talking the door opened and Dorcas walked in with Grey
It turned out his accompanying me to the workshop wasn't a bad idea, We had talked about a lot of things that had ended uplifting my mood. Trust Grey and his clowning behavior. I had searched through her stuff for anything to aid us but since I wasn't a healer, or have any experience whatsoever, I couldn't find anything nor Grey who stood outside the door waiting for me.we trekked back to the castle that evening and I made up my mind finally that going back to the witches was the only way out of this. I have to save Harley from this and this was the only way out of it. But first, I have to visit Dorcas.We branched to her workshop where she was folded on the ground making some incantations. She didn't look up when we came in so we had to wait.Are you sure we shouldn't leave her till tomorrow?" Grey asked,"why?""You know how this her prayer or whatever she is doing goes. she would remain like that possibly throughout the night"He was right. whenever Dorcas was bent that way, she t
The next day I woke up, my eyes fought to adjust to the bright light glittering into the room. I laid still listening to the sound from the outside saturating through the walls into the house.I couldn't focus on the numerous sounds coming in at once. There were those from the sparring younglings, those from howling wolves, once coming from the kitchen, once that if I decide to heed to, might actually cause me deftness, due to how unchaste they were.I peeled my eyes open and slowly allowed them to take in our surroundings. Instinctively, my hand searched around the bed, until it found Lance. I smiled and turned to face him.He looked so worn out, the lines in the skin close to his eyes, looking very crease. I knew he was worried and knew why. It was all because of me.Naturally, I would tap him not so gently, or shake him furiously awake asking him to be an Alpha but right now looking at him, I couldn't find it in me to be that mean to him.These few days have been tasking for us and
When we entered the shop, it was just like I left it...I stood at the door my eyes taking in everything. Then at once, it hit me.A familiar scent. Lance was here. How? When? I knew his scent so well, that it lingered everywhere it went to, and I could easily pick it up. Impulsive my, I inhaled the air the more seeking if more of that awesome scent."What's the problem?" Sonia asked going to sit down."Nothing, I think Lance was here and also" I paused as another scent came in the mix "Grey" I finished recognizing his too. Though it was faint I still couldn't miss it."I think it was last night" she offered, her eyes going to my vase playing on the table. My feet moved in that direction picking up my cup and going to fill it with water. I poured in a larger quantity and lowered back the item.I traces my eyes through all the plants already out of the nursery, to make sure that they were blooming fine in case I didn't make it out of this ailment.Shaking my head to exterminate any foul
"You worry yourself too much babe," He said again, still cuddling me to him. I inhaled him my hand tightening around him. I was very delighted that he is here. At least nothing can get me. " Let's go inside yea?" he whispered. I nodded still holding him. I felt so afraid that anything could jump out like in the nightmare, and try to grab me. "Let's go back to the room so you will take your dinner since the dining would be filled with some people" I shook my head not yet ready to go up "I'm fine let's eat with them. At least let them know I'm still alive" He chuckled and in one sweep before I would protest, swept me off my feet to his arm. I fastened my hand around him very fast in a is not to fall, and buried my face in his chest. It felt so good. The rhythmic beating of his heart on my ears was like sweet music to me, calming me. "Here comes the bride" The discernable voice of Grey broke through the silence. I smiled and looked up from Lance's arm. "Grey" I called "I missed you
