Paige was scared by the fact that she could be attacked anytime, and daring to sleep was like being invigilant amidst a vast area of danger. Paige had her eyes constantly looking at the distant bushes, as though scared that a monster would emerge from them anytime soon.However, her dull eyes were circled with dark eye bags. She needed to sleep, and her body voluntarily shut down. But every time her eyes shut close in slumber, she would quickly open them to look with an alerted expression at every small rustle in the surrounding, uncertain if it wasn't the rabid bloodhound watching her.Hence, she had been suffering a streak of insomnia for several nights now.One thing about knowing about the supernatural world is that the possibility of something being non-existent greatly reduced. And the fear of strange monsters existing became undoubtedly true.Although she was considered one herself! Paige spent a huge amount of her night in the woods watching out for monsters, her dull dark-ci
Upon getting back to the cabin at the middle of the clearing in the depths of the wood at nighttime, Darren parked the motorbike near the porch and waited for Kyley to hop down first.Ever since they left the city, Kyley's mood had remained gloomy and sad. Darren had no idea what to do to change this as he couldn't tell just why Kyley was like this. One thing he knew, however, was that this was due to the things that had happened in the city. The incident with those goons and most especially, Jason!Darren could only blame himself for all of this as taking her to the city was only a huge waste. In the end, Kyley didn't stay in the city and had only returned with him after having gone through several traumatic experiences.If he knew, Darren wouldn't have taken her to the city of Portico. Darren regretted this.However, how could he know this, when they had different things in mind before? The plan was to drop Kyley off as it had been her request ever since she woke up in his bed. K
Darren looked at Kylie with creased gaze for a long while. Various thoughts crossed his mind as he reasoned why Kyley would suddenly request that he stayed with her. ' Could it be that...? No, Kyley is not someone like that. It must be something else!' Darren thought for a while to himself, finding the right line of thought as to why Kyley wanted him to stay with her through the night. " Are you scared?" After a while of silence, Darren asked. Hearing Darren, Kyley shot her head up in surprise. However, she lowered her gaze once again right after and just slowly nodded her head in the positive. Darren was slightly taken aback by this. He pursed his lips and looked about as he was running out of time. " Okay," however, he couldn't leave Kyley in her current state. He walked into the room to stand beside Kyley, and accompanied the latter to her bed, calmly shutting the door behind. He helped her into the bed and tucked her in the sheets. He then sat beside her on the bed and watch
Everything that Kyley had in mind about Darren wasn't the case. But Darren himself knew that there was nothing he could do or say to justify his action back there and then when he'd left her.He was nothing but a coward.who couldn't say goodbye to Kyley the proper way. And he had even put her in danger all because of his cowardly act!He was solely wrong for it! And Darren hated himself for it!Feeling the need to apologize, Darren grabbed Kyley's hands tightly." Kyley, you're not a burden to me. And as long as you're here, you're always welcome to be at home" Darren said in a deep convicted tone. The veins on the side of his head bulged as he clenched his teeth hard. A mix of emotions surged in his mind as he looked down at Kyley who cried on his laps. His heart shook and trembled, as he felt entirely at fault.Hearing Darren, Kyley cried even more and she shot her eyes tight at those words.They meant a lot to her!A small smile formed on her face amidst her tears and she couldn
Around 10:40 PM The sky was heavily dim as the dark thick clouds covered every part of the sky, leaving the sky moonless.At the rear end of the city, an abandoned warehouse with structure that had began to wither in the everyday weather stood alone in the darkness.The warehouse was quite far away from the center of the city, in an area that isn't residential. Since it was no longer in use, the surrounding was covered in weed and moss all over.At the sheetless roof of the warehouse, Jason and his two gammas, Terry and Harodd, stood on the iron beams, looking down at the world with a cold glare on their faces.There eyes gleamed in a dull golden glint in the deep darkness. There were no source of light in these parts and darkness ruled supreme.They were waiting for Alphonse to show up just as Yoldes had promised.Although, Jason did not trust Yoldes to truly deliver Alphonse as he knew that they were being set up in a trap. Jason still wasn't perturbed as he wanted to see what A
11: 26 PMVroom!A blue rusty sedan drove through the night towards an desolate area at the rear end of the city, downtown.Getting to the scene, hunter Logan who had prior turned off the pointer of his car parked it at a far spot from the abandoned warehouse, knowing how dangerous it is to do otherwise.He quickly got out of the car and made it across towards the other side to approach the abandoned warehouse from the opposite path. Jake who had been with him in the car all along stepped out and followed along with him to do the same.Although apprehensive and scared, Jake had no choice but to come with the hunter. He stayed close with the hunter, not daring to venture too far from him as he knew he stood no chance without the hunter.This was a dangerous situation as they were spying on wild werewolves and the likes.If it's not torture, then the ultimate consequence would be death if they got caught!As they got close, hunter Logan reached to his waist to grab something. Under t
The next morning, Kyley woke up in bed with her eyes feeling dry and slightly sandy, as it was covered in dirt.She had cried a lot the last night and it had dried up on her face overnight.Nonetheless, Kyley pushed herself up to sit on the bed and rubbed her eyes with a finger to get rid of the dirts. She looked to her side where Darren had been the last night, but the latter was no longer there.Kyley's heart skipped a beat at the thought that Darren had left her, but she remembered the things he said to her the previous night.Kyley smiled wryly when she remembered and couldn't help but place a palm on her chest, feeling a light burn in her heart. She had no idea what this feeling was but she knew it wasn't all too bad. After a while, Kyley looked towards the window, watching with a dazed expression as the curtain danced in a lovely rhythm under the guidance of the morning breeze that softly blew at it. She felt a sense of peace and the feeling of comfort wash through her being
Darren didn't seem to mind as he just put the burning pancake in the griddle off the stove with his bare hands.Tsss!"Ouch!" Darren screamed in pain and flipped his hands that had just got sizzled by the hot burning griddle in the air. The smell of flesh mixed with the burning smell in the atmosphere.Darren quickly put the finger to his mouth and sucked on it before flipping it in the air again.Despite being a Lycan, Darren was still prone to cooking pains and struggles. No one escapes this! Kyley seeing this couldn't help but be amused. " Hehehe!" She giggled at first, but as Darren expressed a painful face and continued to flick his burnt fingers in the air, she couldn't help but break into laughter afterwards, kicking her head back as she did. Kyley just couldn't help it. "Hahahaha!" She laughed in a high-pitched chortle as she found the way that Darren had reacted just now very funny.Darren seeing how Kyley laughed at him became frustrated, and he stared at her with an inte
Slam!Returning back into the cabin, Darren held Kyley in his arms, carrying her like a princess.The latter just clung unto him with her face buried in his chest, seemingly lost in thought.Tap! Tap! Tap!.He silently carried Kyley up the stairs, ignoring the living room that seemed disheveled as though a war had broken out there. He had a solemn expression worn on his face.Getting to the top of the stairs, Darren continued towards the room.Once he got in the room, Darren slowly walked towards the bed and gently laid Kyley down on it. The latter turned on the bed, facing her back to Darren. She wrappedher bloodied hands around herself as she curled in bed. Her gaze seemingly lost in a distant thought.Darren didn't say anything and just say by the bed, his back faced to Kyley as well. He stared at a distant spot in thought with a sour expression on his face.Silence loomed over in the dark room as emotions grew intense in the heavy quietness. " Kyley?" It wasn't until after a lo
" Are you okay?" Darren moved back from the embrace, quickly checking Kyley's body for injuries or wounds of any kind as he asked. What she did just now was very risky and he still feared that Jason might have hurt her someway. After all, Kyley was just an omega. She's weak.Kyley still staring in a lost daze at Jason's dead body moved her gaze to meet Darren. " I killed him..." she muttered in a low tone. Darren hearing this froze and looked at Kyley warmly. He reached a palm to cup her face. " You did the right thing Kyley. Besides, you saved me." Darren said to her in a tone full of gratitude. He reached to cup her face warmly.Feeling his warm touch, Kyley couldn't help but raise her gaze to look at him. Her pale blue iris reflected his well outlined face under the moonlight. Her eyes watered and she broke into tears as she jumped into his embrace.' My love...' Darren sighed pitifully in his heart and hugged Kyley tight.The latter cried hard in his embrace for the longest whi
Darren had ran through the woods in pursuit of the scent and tracks left by the person who had left the cellphone with instructions to trace them. It was as though he were playing hide and seek as he rushed about the woods, running in trail of all sorts of things like hair, piece of clothing and marks on the trees. With the piece of underwear in his hands, Darren could tell that it was a lady. " Follow the trails I left behind in the woods towards the Moonblood pack if you wish to find Kyley. Hurry!" Running around the wilderness towards south, Darren couldn't help but be reminded of the content of the message that he'd found on the screen of the cellphone that he'd found on the countertop. Considering this involved the Moonblood pack, Darren knew that he might very well be walking into a trap set up by Jason. However, he still persisted. If they had taken Kyley captive, he needed to find her and save her regardless. He didn't care about this being a trap set up for him. So l
' Trouble! Big trouble!' she thought to herself, panicking as she fell into thought as to how to get out of this mess. She could very well try to run away at the moment, but what about Kyley? " Why?" Jason stopped on his step forward and asked with a creased gaze. He spread a palm and shook his head dramatically as though he'd given Paige everything in the world only to for her to betray him. Paige couldn't help but shudder at Jason's words, her eyes darted about as she became horrified. If she doesn't do something soon, she would have to spend the rest of her days in that basement with Kyley as Jason's torture pigs. Nonetheless, she knew she had no way of fighting Jason. She could only try to stall for time at the moment. Paige looked around in search for something to protect herself with as she slowly took cautious steps back, hoping that there was enough distance to escape. " You're sick, Jason. You need help..." She shifted into her human form and said, shaking her head se
Just as Jason left, Terry and Igor who had only been attacking the weak members of the Nightclaw pack, massacring every one of them, instantly ran towards Alphonse who pushed himself off of the car and was looking to retreat while still alive.The only thing that had saved him just now was the fact that Kyley had escaped Jason's captive.And If it wasn't for Jason being obsessed with her, he would have been dead by now.Besides, he believed that Jason wanted him alive for some reason.Alphonse wondered just how Kyley ended up in Jason's captive when she had that lycan around to protect her. Did Jason defeat a lycan?Alphonse wasn't too sure, however, it didn't seem unlikely since he had been able to capture Kyley who was under the protection of that lycan. It only made sense to think that the lycan was defeated.If so, then what was he even thinking!?Now wasn't he tune to even ponder all of that. He was wounded and needed to retreat while he still can.However, just as Alphonse was
When he got to Yoldes' palm, Jake was surprised to find the usually filled local pub empty with only José standing by the bar. He had been here severally in the past few days after all, and it had never been like this. Hence, Jake couldn't help but furrow his brows in confusion at this, wondering just what the heck was going on. He quickened his step to approach the bar counter with the thought that perhaps, the werewolves of the Nightclaw pack were aware of the Hunters association's looming assault and had fled the city as a result of this. " Hah! I tried my best to stop him, Jake. But there wasn't anything I could do about it" Jake shook his thoughts off of what he was thinking for a second and frowned when he heard José sigh and say as he sat by the counter. Seeing Jake walk in, José grew tense, unsure of how to break the news to Jason. Not that Jake didn't understand José, nor did he not know that the old man was speaking about Erik. However, he still didn't understand ju
At nighttime, as the sky darkened with the sight of the full moon blocked by the dim heavy clouds, Jason stared at his pack members who moved about in preparation to attack Yoldes' palm in the city of Portico. His main target being Alphonse and his Nightclaw pack. Tonight, he had no reason to fear the hunters or whatnots, as he had the perfect plan in mind to lure Alphonse out. His gammas, Terry, Igor, and Harrod stood right behind him with stem expressions, all ready for the attack as well. Just then, Vroom! Vroom! Sounds of several vehicles were heard from all around as the whole place slowly lit up under the illumination of headlights. Before Jason could even frown, several bikes and cars rushed out of the woods and came into sight as they surrounded the entrance to the Moonblood pack residence near the woods. Jason looked at this with a slight scorn, wondering just what pack had the audacity to raid the Moonblood pack residence. However, he soon expressed surprise
It was close to noon when Darren finally arrived at the cabin. He wasn't wearing anything as he'd ran all the way through the wilderness in his lycan form to cover more grounds. When he got to the porch, he could sense a strange scent that didn't belong to Kyley and he instantly became alarmed. " Kyley..." He rushed in, not minding that the door was unlocked. " Kyley!" Darren called out loud for her just as he stepped into the cabin. However, he caught sight of how disheveled everywhere was just when he arrived at the living room, and he couldn't help but frown and run upstairs to look for Kyley. His heart shook frivolously, panic and fear subsumed his being as several thoughts crossed his mind. " Kyley?" He called as he checked the rooms and the bathroom but she was just nowhere to be found in the house. Darren's heart pounded and thrummed in his ears as he ran down the stairs to look for her in the kitchen. He couldn't sense her presence in there before but he still thoug
In the city of Portico, inside Yoldes palm. The Nightclaw pack members gathered in their full numbers, all of them armed with several weapons as they were prepared for the long awaited raid. They had axes, knives, metal bats and all other sorts of weapons. Their eyes gleamed with determination and conviction to fight. The slightly balding Alpha of the pack, Alphonse, stood at the crown of the stairs looking at Nicole whose hands were held in his tightly. The latter seemed gloomy and sad about what Alphonse was about to do. At least, she wanted to come along with him, however, Alphonse just wouldn't let her. " Don't worry, Nicole. We'll return victorious. Trust me," Alphonse asserted in a deep convincing voice, caressing the back of her hands as he looked into her eyes affectionately. Nicole raised her gaze to look at Alphonse and nodded severally, still not convinced but not trying to stop him from going any longer. She had already made several preparations with the higher-
