MARCUS' POVI woke up to the sound of the forest around me. The leaves rustled gently in the wind, and the birds chirped merrily in the trees. But my mind was far from peaceful. I couldn't get Alyssa out of my head, no matter how hard I tried.It had been months since I had rejected her in public for another woman. I had been foolish and blind, thinking that the grass was greener on the other side. But now I knew that I had made a terrible mistake.I had tried to reach out to Alyssa, to apologize and ask for her forgiveness. But she had refused to take me back, and I couldn't blame her. I had hurt her deeply, and it would take more than a few words to make things right.Lost in thought, I didn't hear the approaching footsteps until it was too late. Marietta had come to find me, her eyes blazing with anger and resentment."What do you think you're doing, Marcus?" she snarled, her claws extending from her fingertips. "Trying to reconcile with that outcast of a werewolf?"I recoiled at
Alyssa's POV Ethan and his pack returned from the village where they had gone to sort help and I was glad to have them back. The dream I had the previous night made me apprehensive. I have been looking forward to their return ever since. Now that they are back it's a big relief for me. The full moon was high in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the village clearing where Ethan's werewolf pack had gathered.We had come together for an important meeting, one that would determine the future of the pack. Ethan and I were seated close to each other. When everyone who mattered was present Ethan stood up from where we were seated and walked to the center of the clearing so that everyone can see and hear him. He looked around at his pack members, taking in their expressions and assessing their moods. He could guess what was going on in their minds. He knew they were angry and wanted revenge for the death of their loved ones.What made Ethan angrier and revenge thirsty was the fact that
Marcus POV Early in the morning. It was freezing everywhere. The morning fog hung thick in the air and I could hardly see what was up ahead. The leaves and grasses are moist with dew. The icy air of the Harmattan breeze hit my face, making me shiver. It was time to go hunting, and I couldn't wait to get started. I quickly got ready and headed out to meet my friends. Hunting is a general hobby among werewolves. As for me, it is the only thing that excites me. My friends hated the idea of hunting in the morning. They had tried countless times in the past to make me change my hunting time but I am a very persistent person. In my pack, everyone prefers to hunt with the best. I was the best hunter among my pair so they had to go with my time. We met up at the edge of the forest. We were a pack of four, including myself, Nicole, Tyler, and Steve. We were all hungry and eager to catch something. We ran through the forest, our paws thudding against the ground as we moved. We were mov
Alyssa's POV My friends held my shoulder as we walked towards the village to get help. Ethan's Pack has finally returned home. They have rebuilt their village and moved on with their lives. Ethan was now at peace. I could see it on his face and this made me happy. We have agreed on a day to go and see the seer. He has spoken to some members of his pack to accompany us on this journey. The journey would last for four days so we needed to be prepared both physically and emotionally. Ever since Ethan told me about this seer I have been asking around about her. I was told she lives on a hill located on the outskirts of a small village. It is said that the road to the village was a dangerous one. Packs of angry werewolves attack other packs, especially a small pack. This scared me but Ethan assured me I had nothing to fear. The day came and we set out to see the seer. We were thirteen in number. Ethan carefully selected the strong and skilled ones. They all looked strong and huge
Marcus POV This is going to be more complicated than I thought. When we got to the village, the alpha was informed immediately, and we were brought before him. He recognized me as soon as we approached him. "Marcus! He exclaimed. "What happened?" I was too weak to respond to his question. "We were attacked by an unidentified pack on our way back from a hunting spree". That was Nicole. The alpha barked an order for the healer to be summoned. My body was getting heavier with each minute. I felt the urge to lie down but I had no strength left in me to talk. The alpha asked one of his servants to direct us to a room where we were to wait for the healer. With the help of his servants, we walked towards a room with great difficulty. For every step, I took toward the room my breath got heavier making it more and more difficult for me to walk. In between my heavy breath and struggle to walk I slumped and that was all I could remember. I found myself on a mountain hunting alone. I was
Marietta's POV This time, I will do everything to win back her love and trust. I know I hurt her badly and I was willing to pay the price for what I did.The time we agreed to meet with the guys I sent to bring me Marcus was approaching. I couldn't wait to set my eyes on him. I imagined how shocked he would be to see me and even practiced how I was going to give him a wicked smirk. The time came. Everywhere was dark. I waited until everyone had slept off. I was dressed in my usual black attire, with leather pants and a tight-fitting top. My long hair was tied in a messy bun. I covered myself with a hood so that no one could recognize me. I tiptoed out of my room making sure not to make the faintest sound. As soon as I was outside, I crawled until I got to the edge of the forest. I walked into the forest. Carefully landing on the leaves and grasses so that they don't make any rustling sound. I kept walking cautiously until I had traveled deep into the forest. When I was sure I wa
Alyssa's POV"I understand," He said and with that, we parted ways. By the time we left the seer's house, it was already evening. We then went back into the village where Ethan had asked the others to wait for us. We spent the night in the village. Early in the morning, we stormed the road. It took us four days to arrive at our destination. There was no attack as I had feared and that was a relief but I was disappointed. Things didn't go exactly as I had hoped. I had hoped to find answers to all the questions running through my mind instead I was met with more questions. I need to find out who Samantha is and how I can find her. Ethan promised to help in any way he could. Meanwhile, my dreams have become more frequent and more clear. It was now like we were having a conversation. One night, I was sleeping when I had the exact kind of dream I had when Ethan and his packmates were away to see the seer. I was in the part where Jackson stabbed Ethan then I woke up to some disturbi
Marcus POV It's been five weeks since my friends and I were attacked.I have not fully recovered but my condition has improved tremendously. I was now back home. It's been a while since I heard from Alyssa. I don't know how she is or what she is up to. I miss her every day and I can't just wait to set my eyes on her again even though I know she is still angry at me. She made it clear that she doesn't want me but I was willing to try. My heart yearns for her every day and this feeling is becoming unbearable. I wanted to recover fully before I visit her but I just can't take it anymore.I will go and see her tomorrow. The following day came and I set out to visit her. I wanted to go alone but Nicole insisted that I go with escorts. "Someone is clearly after your life. Aren't you worried about getting attacked again?" he asked. He has a point but I wanted the visit to be a secret for two reasons. The first reason was my father and the second reason was Marietta. I know her to
