“A…freak”, I told him again.
My father cracked his knuckles.
“He may be alpha’s son, but this is unacceptable”, He stood up from his chair in rage.
“I’ll have a talk with Alpha about this whole shit”, he announced.
“Please honey, calm down, kids say all kinds of stuff at this age, we have to be sensible about this situation”, my mother calmed down my father after several pleas of not taking action and he finally left the house for his work.
My mom drove me to my school. I cried the whole way to school. My mom left with a hug to console me. Everything felt different now, nothing seemed to feel right. Happiness seized to exist for me. Was every day going to be like this? If so then I didn’t want to live.
Anything I saw in the school I hated it, I hated the weather, I hated my school building, I hated my classes, everything was fucked up for me.
As I entered my classroom I felt unusual stares directed toward me. That’s strange, before that nobody had paid me any special attention, I was just an ordinary student except when I started dating Sam.
I was already sad and depressed, these stares didn’t help my mood. So I simply looked for a chair in the very back of my class and made my way there.
When I was making my way towards the back of the class I heard students hissing something at me, they couldn’t say it out loud of course because our teacher was very strict and he didn’t like commotion in the class. I couldn’t quite catch what they were trying to say to me and finally arrived on my chair and sat down with a heavy heart.
The teacher went on and on and it seemed like the class would never end, thank God I didn’t share this class with Sam, otherwise, it would have been so awkward and painful for me. Tears started coming again. I could cry a river but I had to control myself.
The class finally ended and I went to the cafeteria to take my mind off of my hurt and there I saw the most painful sight ever for me, it was Sam with Regina, she was Beta’s daughter and was always after Sam. They both were holding close to each other, of course, Sam would go for her, she was simply perfect, blond, blue-eyed, with the perfect figure and heavy breasts, that were a bit too much exposed right now. This bitch I wanted to cut off her both hands holding my love. They both saw me walk into the cafeteria and right on cue Regina went in for a kiss and Sam complied and kissed her with the same passion he used to kiss me.
I stood frozen watching this horrible sight. My Sam, my wolf was kissing another girl, a girl I hated most in the world. I wanted to yell at them and throw something at them to make them stop. But they just seemed glued to each other.
This was beyond painful for me. I stood there, helpless. And I heard a chant going on behind me.
“Freak”
“Freak”
“Freak”
Some of the students had gathered and were chanting pointing at me, the whole school was watching. They had formed a circle around me. Now I understood what they were muttering under their breath in the class. They were calling me a freak, but how come? I was no freak. I was normal like them all.
Then they started throwing all kinds of food items at me, and my face and clothes got covered with stains from food items, I finally broke out of their circle and ran out of there. I ran into the washroom and locked after me. I started crying again. Why? Why me? I had no answer to that.
I looked at my so-called friends for help but they simply ignored me and some even joined in the circus. Even Lucia with whom I share almost everything, stood in the corner watching. She had tears in her eyes. She was helpless against this gang of bullies.
Now, this had become a common practice for everyone in school, as soon as I would enter the premises the whole place would go up against me, bullying me in every way possible. I didn’t tell my parents about it, I simply refused to go to the cafeteria anymore and avoided public places where I knew I could be targeted. Life had become really hard for me ever since the breakup.
Sam and Regina had come really close. I could catch glimpses of them making out every now and then. I finally realized that I had no friends in my school. I only had me which was broken and depressed. Tears were now my constant buddies. They came every time I asked them to show up.
Today was the pack run and there was not a lot to do at the school. Everyone was pretty relaxed and excited about the run. Teachers were teaching halfheartedly and students had no interest in listening to the lecture at all.The ground staff could be seen outside my class windows preparing the grounds for the weekly pack run. While I was dreading this. I had always dreaded going to pack runs since I had not found my wolf yet, as my parents always told me that I am a late bloomer, but I will find it when I get of age. I couldn’t roam free in the woods in my wolf body hence I couldn’t enjoy it. And then there was always this new threat of school bullies looming over my head so I decided to lay low in the woods as always and plus didn’t want to give the bullies a chance who would be out there looking for me.My parents had found a perfect hiding spot for me deep in the woods near our pack borders. It was a beautiful lake covered from the top with trees. Nobody dared go near the borders s
Eve POV“Let’s drown her”, someone from the group shouted and they all roared together in unison.I was already short of breath and water was in my eyes, I couldn’t see anyone, everyone and everything was a blur for me. But one thing I was sure of…that I was gonna die today. This was it for me.Then several hands gripped my body again, I could feel their hands on me, they had me pinned. And then a hand grabbed my hair roughly from behind and forced my head down in the water.I let out a gasp and the cold water went into my mouth and my nostrils, made its way into my body, rendering me unable to breathe. Little bubbles formed inside the water as I tried to breathe. I did try to use my hands and feet to break free, to kick them off of me but they were so many and their grip was strong and I was sure of my death now. I was giving up, my body was giving up…. I was going to drown and it'd be over any minute now.There were several wolfs who had started howling nearby but the group ignored
I opened my eyes it was still dark and I could hear my parents around me arguing.“It’s your fault for choosing this spot,” My father said to my mother“I didn’t know this was going to happen to her”, my mother said.My mom was holding me in her arms, we were still near the lake. The rain and all the thunder were gone. It was once again that peaceful place that I loved. Who could have thought I almost died here a few hours ago.“Oh thank god you are alive Eve”, my mother said as soon as I opened my eyes.“Who did this Eve?” my father asked me. I couldn’t say anything, it took me a while to form my first words. I was still trying to breathe normally.“It was Sam….. and Regina.” I could barely manage to say those words and I went into unconsciousness again.I woke up again, I was feeling warm now. I found out I was back in my house and was wearing fresh clothes, I was cleaned up and in my bed, pretty warm and cozy. My bedroom was really simple, nothing fancy, I had a single bed and in o
We drove for what felt like hours and hours with no end in sight. Many times I woke up and then dozed off again but dad kept on driving the car on unknown roads in the woods, at least they were unknown to me. He seemed to have no difficulty navigating through them.The whole way my mom kept glancing backward as though she was expecting the chase or she was afraid that someone was following us. I saw fear in her eyes.It was unusually quiet in the car and I hated it. My parents were always chatting even in the worst of times but now just silence.“Mom…I…” I tried to say something but my mother shoot me a serious look which meant only one thing…..to be quiet. So I simply decided to sleep again as my wounds from earlier had started to ache once more.I felt a jerk and woke up. As I looked outside the Sun was shining. Finally, we arrived at the far side of the woods. It felt nice to see light after the endless dark of the night.I could see two people in the distance approaching our car.
“Mom, what new pack?” I asked her.“Eve dear, I think it is time you know the truth, we owe you this much”, mom said with sadness in her voice.“What truth?” I wanted to know everything. Mom heaved a sigh.“By now you might know that you are wolfless, your wolf has not shown up and you are almost of age”, I knew that now so the news didn’t hurt me as it should have.“In order to protect you and your life from our previous pack we decided to join a new pack”, mom explained further.“Our ex Alpha would have forced us to abandon you and then your life would be over, cause no wolf can survive without a pack,” mom said with tears in her eyes. I wiped her face.“We could never abandon you even if our lives are put at stake, so we ditched them, I know it is treason to abandon your pack, but the choice was you or the pack and we choose you”, She said and hugged me tightly. I started crying again.“There, there, everything is alright now Eve my sweetheart, in this new pack no one will threaten
We drove through the woods following the car of the new pack guys. And finally, we reached our destination. There was a big clearing in the middle of the woods. Right in the middle stood a very tall mansion. All in black. It sort of terrorizes you if you saw it at night. I was clearly afraid of stepping into it.Our cars parked a little distance away from the tall black building. The Gennady and Jose got out of their cars and motioned us to do the same and keep following us. I didn’t like it one bit. Everything around here seemed weird. My heart was pounding loudly as I got down from my car and followed my mom closely. I had tightly wrapped a shawl around me my mom gave me before getting out.The grass was even and neatly cut. As we got closer to the mansion I noticed trees around it which formed a sort of border, and in those trees were birds of all kinds chirping away enjoying the sunlight and going about their business. I quite liked that sight, so I relaxed a bit.We were not take
I could hear only crickets in the distance otherwise nothing. This was not right, now they were going to tear us apart. After a few minutes, my eyes adjusted to the dark and I could make out a hundred wolf eyes staring at us. I thought I shit my pants. Mom held my hands a bit more tightly I thought she was going to crush my fingers.The wooden door opened with a creak you hear in horror movies, and I could see golden light coming out. Three hooded figures with torches ablaze circled another massive figure. I had never seen such a ritual in my life. I was part of the pack too but never had I witnessed this.The new group of hooded figures moved closer and when it was a few feet away from us they stopped in their tracks. They broke the circle and from the middle, the fourth hooded person took off his hood. And what I saw made me instantly fall in love with him. You know like love at first sight, that is what happened to me.His wide-set eyes were piercing blue and jet black hair was nea
I was in the middle of a field. All around me was grain ready to harvest it was about waist high and I could touch it and feel each and every little golden wheat stem just swaying so freely with the air. A spring afternoon, almost time for sunset. I could see the sun trying its best to hide behind the trees in the distance but still had enough light to illuminate the whole vast field in front of my eyes.I could hear the birds chirping away returning to their nests, where their little children were waiting for them. They probably had little chats amongst them in those sweet melodious voices of theirs with their younglings. And I wondered what would they talk about maybe they’d tell them how difficult it was to get that worm from the field because a snake was just hiding in the bushes to get them, or maybe they won’t have any talks and would tell them to go to bed immediately and no talking back.“Ha Ha Ha,” A laugh issued from my mouth.“How silly I am, birds can’t talk,”The sun was
Eve’s footsteps echoed from the cold marble walls as she walked through the gothic hallway of the old castle. The dark halls made her heart beat faster and faster, adrenalin pumping as she kept walking. The stillness was filling the atmosphere with cold.The loneliness of every single step became a true burden, and she was convinced that she was being watched; her gaze darting from one shadow to another, thrown by the flickering meagre candlelight that was cast against the walls, the patterns and patterns of light jumping in front of her eyes. The longer she stayed in this place, the more it began to feel less like the opulent residence it once was and more like a tomb to some long lost victim.Every squeak of the floorboards, every shift of the wind rattling against the cracks of the walls, brought her a new message, a vague, eerie warning that she was not alone. She ran to get a grip, goosebumps all over her.Her steps faltered momentarily, her eyes darting around, searching for any
She couldn’t control what was happening to the bike. It kept going downhill and with it carried poor Eve. Her head started spinning as the bike rolled down on the slippery slope.She let go of its handle and it kept going down and down. While Eve quickly grabbed hold of a nearby stone on the ground halting her descent. Her skin was torn from everywhere, head to toe, she had little scars. She felt like crying but this was no time to cry she had to get up.Eve picked herself up and started climbing back up the hill with difficulty. Maybe her mother was right, she should not have meddled in this whole Maverick affair.“Stupid Eve, you just couldn’t stay put,” She said to herself.“You just had to be the one to rescue M”“You just had to be the righteous one”“And a big fuck you to you Maverick, look what you have made me do”“Silly little thing you are Eve”, she kept talking to herself. She finally made it to the top of the hill and stood there, catching her breath.“shit I am completely
Eve just couldn’t digest this injustice being done with Maverick. Nobody in the pack or in the school raised any voice against this. They all pretended like nothing had happened. Even Sandra went home after finishing her classes.“I want to go the packhouse,” Eve announced. It was afternoon and she was in the kitchen with her Mom.Mom was writing her journal on her laptop wearing glasses. She took down her glasses. “Why?” mom asked her.“Because they took Maverick that’s why…I mean why is everybody acting like nothing wrong happened today?” Eve said frustratingly as she wrestled to break her sweet corn into two pieces.“Listen dear we have had enough of our own troubles, we don’t need this too,” Mom warned her as she put on her glasses and resumed her typing.“I don’t think so, you guys can stay silent at all this, it’s your choice but I won’t,” Eve said.“Your father called specifically instructing me to keep you away from all this,” Mom said without looking at her.“FINE” Eve yelled
When their eyes opened it was already dark and both of them were naked in the middle of the forest. The trees were swaying. The strong wind had started blowing. Alpha smelled rain, he got up. Lexy was still fast asleep her clothes discarded around her.Alpha picked up her shirt and pants, and threw them toward her.“Hey wake up, we should move,” Alpha said, he was really feeling the cold air ripping through him. He had discarded his clothes in a nearby tree before shifting. Lexy didn’t move. She was oblivious to what was happening around her.Alpha quickly searched for his clothes and finally found them beside a tree. He put them on and went to wake up Lexy.“Vampire, come on, wake up,” he gently touched her face. Lexy stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes dreamily. Alpha adored that.“You don’t know my name, really?” Lexy said and got up.“I…yes I still don’t know,” Alpha shied away from her.“too bad, you have to try harder next time,” Lexy said as she put on her clothes.“What d
Wolf was coming closer and closer, Lexy could see it getting bigger. Its long glistening teeth were ready to sink into Lexy’s throat and when it was almost an inch away from her neck she used her super speed to move just a little to the right and the big wolf missed her by inches, slammed face first into the ground.Wolf let out a growl. A smirk was dancing on Lexy’s lips. The old Alpha had forgotten that she was vampire, and it’s hard to catch a vampire. Alpha on the other hand was no fool. He had dealt with vampires his whole life. He was just playing along.He let out another growl showing his frustration, letting Lexy think that she had won this round. He turned again, squared off against her.“What happened Alpha? I thought that you were going to get me?” Lexy mocked AlphaAlpha started running towards her again and went for her throat once more. But same thing happened again. Lexy was enjoying this. This was refreshing for her. She had never faced a wolf in her life, even though
Old Alpha had always been a good and confident leader of his pack. He had never even once made a mistake. His reign was just and that is why werewolves around him lived in peace. But things were pretty shaken up after his confrontation with the beautiful vampire girl.Alpha was sitting by the tree in the forest lost in his thoughts, looking far away at something.“What was her name?” He had forgotten the name of the vampire he had kissed yesterday. He could still smell her hair on him. It smelt like strawberry. Before all this vampires were disgusting beings to him. He hated them even when someone mentioned them. But now…not now, he could feel her lips, those tasted like honey. And the way her body jerked when he pushed her closer to himself was giving him arousal.His hand went to his wood. He was hard down there. He kept his eyes closed as he tried to remember every little detail of yesterday. His hands could touch her silky smooth skin. Felt the very fabric of her being. He kept on
Alpha Ares stood in the heart of the magical dungeon, his imposing figure shrouded by a cloak that seemed to be woven from the fabric of darkness itself. The cloak, black as a moonless night, billowed around him, its edges seemingly dancing in an otherworldly breeze. It exuded an aura of dread and malevolence, as if it were a living entity feeding on the fears of those who dared to gaze upon it.The fabric of the cloak appeared to ripple and shift, like shadows playing upon the surface of water. It possessed an uncanny depth, absorbing the feeble light that trickled into the dungeon from a mystical well adorned with the white glow of the moon. The cloak's darkness seemed to drink in the luminescence, creating an eerie contrast that heightened the sense of unease.As Alpha Ares' piercing gaze fell upon the stone table, his attention was drawn to the figure lying upon it—Maverick, trapped in the prison of his own mind. Ares' eyes, cold and calculating, were tinged with a glimmer of pity
There was an unexplainable stench of decay which was lingering heavily in the air, one couldn’t breathe in there, and every breath within the hopeless stone corridors of the dungeons was depressing. Dim torches flickered, casting eerie shadows on the damp, moss-covered walls. A chilling silence enveloped the space, broken only by distant, muffled cries of anguish that echoed through the abyss.As Maverick was mercilessly dragged along, the huge shackles with which he was bound kept on clinking with every agonizing step, and the poor soul could really feel the cold dampness of it seeping into his very bones. The corridor kept on going with no end in sight, a maze of despair that twisted and turned, offering no glimpse of hope or escape. All he could see was darkness consuming him little by little, making him feel as if he was slowly being dragged down into hell itself.The dungeon cells, like cages of despair, lined the corridor. Grotesque stains of blood and filth adorned the walls,
Eve and Sandra reached the school grounds and all they could see was a little tornado moving from one side of the ground to the other without any set pattern.Several of the warrior clan werewolves were chasing it including Beta but it was too fast. A swirling vortex of dark clouds materialized above the tornado, crackling with electric energy. The wind was spiraling and howling. It was too risky to get close but surprisingly Beta and pack members were still trying to catch it somehow.“What in the actual F…is happening here?” Sandra exclaimed, mouth gaping. Eve had the same reaction. Students on the grounds were running back toward the school building, some cheering, some screaming. It was chaos.“Look a hand,” Eve pointed to a hand that was visible for only a split second in the tornado.“What?”“Where”“Look, there….” Eve pointed again. The dust once settled and undisturbed, now danced and twirled in chaotic harmony, caught within the powerful currents of the tornado's wrath.“Shit
