Zelene Sallow:I squeezed my eyes shut as something plopped down on top of me. It took a few moments for me to gradually start looking around, but it was too late, as drowsiness had already begun to set in.As I teetered on the edge of unconsciousness, I couldn't be sure if I'd ever wake up again. So, as I slipped away, it felt like my life had come to an end.Then, out of nowhere, I felt my heart rate pick up, and the world around me started to sound vibrant once more. Moving my body was a struggle, but as I began to regain consciousness, I realized that I wasn't dead.Summoning the strength to open my eyes felt like a fierce battle, but I managed it. Deep down, I knew I had to stay alert and awake."Ahh!" I groaned, struggling to sit up. As I looked around, I realized I was in the backseat of a stationary car, parked near the woods with the doors wide open to let in some fresh air. It was then that I started to piece together what had happened before I lost consciousness."AHHHHH!"
Zelene Sallow:"It's alright. Our warriors have blocked all the entry and exit points. They won't be able to leave the pack land," Axel reassured me as he rubbed my back while I covered my face with my hands.We had returned to Axel's room after their mother stormed out on us."I wish I had been more attentive," Ray whispered from the bed. He had sat down as soon as we entered the room and hadn't lifted his head since then."Hey! Right now, the last thing we want is for you guys to blame yourselves. Our priority is finding Yuna, and we need to use all our senses to locate her," Oscar argued, while Shane brought some snacks for us."I can't eat when my daughter is missing," just the sight of the tray full of food made me feel uneasy. How could they expect me to consume anything when I knew my daughter's life was in possible danger?"Zelene! Not eating won't bring her back. It'll only weaken you, and how do you think you can find her when you're feeling weak?" Shane argued as he placed
Zelene Sallow:The awkward silence in the room lingered for a few tense minutes before I heard Ray rise from the bed. He walked over to me, pulled a chair close, and sat in front of me with his head still down, resting his elbows on his thighs."I'm sorry," he uttered, rubbing his face with his hands."I'm sorry for not being there for you. I'm sorry for hurting you, and I'm so sorry for not being able to protect you. I wish I had insisted on going with you. At least that would have foiled your plan and prevented you from going into the woods," he continued, shouldering blame for my foolishness as well."It's just that... so much happened, and I didn't know what was right or wrong anymore," he murmured, his expressions hidden from me. His hands constantly rubbed over his face, muffling some of his words."I can't blame you for this incident. If you hadn't let me leave this mansion, I would have grown even more resentful of you," I spoke the truth. There was a reason I had asked for hi
Zelene Sallow:"Wait, so what does that even mean?" I asked as my mind started to question a lot of things."Every time I try to understand you or your feelings, I get pulled back into a state where I can't feel anything towards you. This time--I was able to feel more for you and had connected more with you, but it's all in vain," he explained, slowly lowering his head again, "because as soon as the next full moon comes, I'll be back to feeling nothing for you."I felt as if someone had ripped open my chest and squeezed my heart out. It was like everything I had hated him for wasn't even his fault."Why didn't she tell me that? Why did she lie?" I muttered, clenching my fists. It was infuriating that she had lied about someone who had been nothing but kind to him. He had kept her in check, and this is how she repaid him?"Isn't it obvious why?" Ray shook his head in disbelief. I was sure he knew how evil she could be, but what could he do? He was under her control."So, what is it? Ar
Lady Jewel:I returned to my room, seeking solace in alcohol as I drowned in my own worries. Ever since I learned that they had lost Yuna, I couldn't find a moment of relief."This is not good," I muttered, pacing anxiously from one corner of the room to the other. I was trapped in a truly frightening situation. I wished I had made a wiser decision when I first heard about the birth of a weresin. But I didn't want my sons to look at me differently."Lady Jewel," Hans entered the room, locking the door behind us so we could discuss this matter in private."I heard about Yuna. The warriors are doing their best to find her and the frosters," Hans began, taking a deep breath before sharing what he knew about the search party."They must find her," I declared, stopping my pacing and glaring at him."Do you know her disappearance means my death?" I raised my voice but quickly lowered it because I didn't want anyone else to overhear our conversation."I am aware of everything, Jewel. I just
Zelene Sallow:My heart raced within my chest as we sat in the car, heading towards the location of the child. I trembled at the thought of discovering something profoundly distressing. I didn't know if I could go on living if anything were to happen to my daughter.Just then, Lady Jewel rushed out of the car, with Hans following closely behind."What's happening?" She looked equally exhausted. At times, I couldn't quite fathom her. Was she genuinely concerned for Yuna, or was she afraid that the Frosters would use Yuna to harm the werewolves and subjugate them?"Mom! The warriors have found a little child, about the same age as Yuna, wrapped in her... blankie," Ray stepped forward to inform her. I heard his voice break as he described the child's condition."They killed my granddaughter!" Lady Jewel yelled. Her eyes then turned toward me. "And you're still taking her with you?" She continued as she approached the car, attempting to grasp my arm and pull me out of the backseat."Mom!
Zelene Sallow:"Then whose baby is this?" Ray sighed as he observed the police officers taking away the unfortunate infant.I couldn't help but feel uneasy about the situation. The baby was so innocent and adorable. Why would someone harm her?"Do you think it was a warning for us?" I asked as I watched the brothers gathered around me on the hills. We hadn't been able to leave this place, and I didn't want to return home empty-handed anymore."It seems like the child was killed recently, probably just a few hours ago," Shane commented, and I let out a sigh. I was growing anxious now. Whoever this poor baby belonged to must be devastated.…“We need to take strict actions and also inform her parents,” I stated, watching my mates as they glanced at me.“Did you not hear her?” Ray asked Jerome, who wore a puzzled expression.“Listen to her and follow her lead,” Axel remarked, and Jerome's confusion deepened.“We are not instructed to treat her differently,” Jerome began, but Oscar interr
Zel:People call me Zel, but I don't really have a name. I got this name when they named my better twin, Zelene. When we were born, my mother, Veem, was well aware of the prophecy. She was excited, in fact. She claimed that Lady Jewel had messed everything up for the frosters because of her own agenda against her mate at that time.Which was true; that lady was wicked. But Veem was no better. She was terrible too. She found a packer and mated with him, only to kill him after she got pregnant. She just didn't want to have our father in the picture because how else would she use us? After giving birth to the daughters who will carry the weresin, Veem actually earned herself a respectable place in the frosters and even became a leader.However, she knew that if we grew up with the frosters, there would be fewer chances for us to ever be accepted by the alpha king brothers.That's when she found out that only one of us could carry weresin, and the other would feed the weresin. In this cas
