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
Hurried footsteps were making their way on a paved stone walkway. Little taps of boots could be heard a long way in the dead of the night. Most of the pack members were sent on a pack run on the night of the full moon, so the packhouse with all of its glory was quite empty. Low hushed voices could be heard from the council’s room where an emergency meeting was being held as Alpha wanted this to be as discreet as possible. Only five members of the council were present in the room, sitting on the high chairs and looking down at Lesnar and his wife. On the table was the freshly cut head of an elk, dripping fresh dark blood. One of the councilmen was eyeing it rather greedily. The room was not brightly lit as it interfered with Alpha’s vision who was as ancient as the earth itself. His skin was like a white paste, one good puff of air would blow him away but nonetheless, he was strong and wicked. People feared him for that. Disagreeing with Alpha was the surefire way of sealing your an
Eve POVI could never believe it, I was literally living in a fairy tale. Life could be this good I hadn’t imagined it in my wildest dreams. Sam who was our Alpha’s son and I had a crush on him for a long long time was finally holding my hand. His warm grip on my hand was sending joyful sensations throughout my whole body.We had just finished running laps around the school grounds and Sam had walked over carrying ice-cold water bottles. Making all the other girls jealous. They also needed a drink but guess what they didn’t have anyone to bring them one.“Don’t want my love to melt in this heat,” Sam said standing in front of me blocking the sun. This was all new to me, Sam was my first and only love. I still remember the first time Sam confessed his love to me....“Eve you know, I have always fancied you,” Sam said.“But I thought you never liked me?” Eve said“Why do you think that?”“Well you always avoided my gaze”“It’s not that, I am just a bit shy”“My love for you is forever
“But I thought I was the love of your life Sam”, I was crying, tears pouring out.“No riff-raff can be the love of my life”, He said. And I grabbed his shoulders.“You can’t do this, I have always loved you and only you, my whole life is you”, I said in a tearful voice.“Tell me, just say it, whatever is wrong I’ll fix it, please don’t say these things Sam love”, I said.“Get off of me You Freak”, He pushed me like I was some feral animal with a disease, and then he ran away. I was left lying on the hard floor crying. I had no strength left in my knees. So I remained there, my brain trying to process what had just happened to me. The sun was burning me, but I didn’t care, I was burning inside. He had left me empty, left me alone. Any feelings that I had were gone. I simply wanted to burn away in the heat of the sun. This world meant nothing to me anymore.After crying for several hours it seemed to me because it had gotten dark, I had made my way back to my home. As soon as I reached
“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
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
