"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 atmosphere was solemn as I walked past people demurely-dressed. There was no music but I could almost imagine a quiet piano playing at a far distance. Clutching onto my shirt, I refused myself from shedding more tears.I walked up to her open coffin and saw her dressed in a white gown, even in death, she was beautiful. I wasn't there for her, I could've been stronger. She fought for me and I couldn't do anything to save her.I had to watch her die just as I watched my brother die...."Heyley, please I don't want to die," Dominic said.He was so young, too innocent to have to face what was happening. "You won't die, don't talk like that. I'll save you I promise," I reassured him in tears."But you're obviously weak, it'll kill both of us," Dom argued but I shook my head in disapproval. "I'm a healer, it's my duty and u can't watch you suffer," I brushed my fingers against his cheek to wipe off his tears."You have always been so stubborn Hayley, even more than sister," he smiled
