"We're here."

I looked at Damon when I heard what he said. Jasper and I were talking and didn't realize we had gotten there. I peered through the window. It has been a while. The last thing I remember about this place is the accident. Other than that, I don't know anything else. We walked for a few more minutes until we reached the bridge.

When Damon's car crossed the long bridge, I couldn't breathe. My hands got cold, and my breathing got harder. I had a flashback to the accident.

***

I was surprised when Dad decided to leave our house. Mom and I watched as he put our things in the compartment of the car.

"Hon, are you drunk?" Mom asked. "What're you doing?"

Dad moved closer to Mom, grabbed her arm, and touched her cheek.

"We have to leave now. They might catch up to us." Dad is freaking out, and his eyes move around like he is scared of something.

Even though I was only 14, my mind was already more mature because that's how my mom and grandmother raised me. My social lif

    ADY "My house is near, and we can stay there for a while." I'm not sure why I said it. The truth is that I had no plans to go back to our house, but I opened my mouth and offered it anyway. It may have rained on purpose today, so we couldn't return to the city. All of this happens because fate makes way for it. But am I ready to confront the past and hold the offender accountable? "Are you okay with going to your old home?" Jasper asked me. I looked at him and saw that he was already dressed. He was worriedly looking at me. I also told him about what we had gone through before, so my grandmother and I left this place. "Let's just find you a place to stay if you're uncomfortable," said Damon. "I'm fine, so don't worry. However, we haven't lived there for a while, so there may be no power, water, or cooking." I said. Damon looked at Jasper. "Don't worry about that. I'll buy everything we'll need." Damon took the umbrella from the cabinet on the dashboard and got out of the car. W

    Ady's POV "Do it later. Let's eat. It seems like it will rain all night." I turned to the window when I heard thunder and lightning outside. Jasper came up to me right away and took my hand. "Let's go, my loves," Jasper whispered to me. I nodded a little, and then Jasper pulled my hand. When we left the room, the candle lights in the kitchen went out. "Oh crap, the candle flame went out." Jasper turned toward me. When I saw Damon's reflection in the mirror attached to the wall near the window, my eyes grew big. His eyes shine with a beautiful red light. I cannot help but be amazed. It was the first time I'd seen eyes that color. 'Wait, is this my first time?' I thought. I was strangely nervous, so I took a deep breath. And before those eyes ultimately drew me in, I immediately turned away. "Just a moment, my love." Jasper took his phone out of his pocket and turned on its flashlight. "Come on, take it easy; you might trip." As I went down the stairs, Jasper was looking at my f

    Jasper’s POV “Jasper.” Damon’s shocked reaction to my touch on his shoulder. “I thought you were sleeping?” “Well, I am not,” I said. “Where are you going so late at night? Are you planning to leave us here?” He smiled, walked straight to the kitchen, lit the candle, and filled the bottle with the 7-liter gallon of distilled water. I turned around at the door and frowned as I walked to the window. I opened the curtain a little and peeped out. The man stood outside the house looking at the car. Even though I saw the man, I said nothing to Damon. Unless he hurts us, I will do nothing. I left the window and went to Damon. I got the distilled gallon and put water into my bottle. “Why do you get up early?” I asked. “Because I’m thirsty.” I smirked. “Thirsty? Or had a nightmare?” I could see him frowning even though it was dark. “You were whining earlier, so I woke up,” I said. “Sorry if I woke you up,” he said. We heard glass breaking, then a scream from above. “Ahhh!” Damon and

  • Midnight Howling   Chapter 44: In The Cemetery

    Ady's POV "Hi, do you need my help?" We stopped walking when a man who looked to be about our age suddenly appeared in front of us. His hair is a little curly, and he has a muscular body like Jasper. Damon put out a hand to stop Jasper and me from walking. "You know I'm used to being here, so I can help you," said the man. "Are you following us? How do you know we are here?" asked Jasper. I frowned as I looked at the man. He stared at Jasper, and his smile never left his face. "You're familiar." I turned to Jasper as we said the same thing to the man. Jasper quickly looked at me, then turned and looked back at the man. "Ummm, do you know me?" The man asked with surprise. "Well, I have seen you at the university before..." I glanced at Damon. "Don't you, Damon? Maybe you know him." "He wasn't the person I was with," Damon said nothing, avoiding conversation. "I know for sure," Jasper said. "Last night, you circled in Damon's car." "That's enough," he said. Damon said as he l

    Ady’s POV “Who is Jacob?” I asked Damon. He suddenly called Jasper Jacob, the person we were looking for but who was dead. Damon turned toward us and looked confused. “It is nothing. Let’s go...” Damon said. Jasper looked at me and then pulled me closer to the car. After we got inside, we looked at the man who helped us. He watched us and talked to Damon as if they knew each other. After Damon started the car’s engine, he drove the car away from the cemetery. We left the man, which puzzled me. “Why did we just leave him?” I asked Damon as I looked at the man as we drove away from the cemetery. “And why are we in such a rush?” Damon didn’t answer. Instead, he abruptly turned to the left, causing my body to hit the car door. “Dude, can you drive safely?” Jasper grumbled. Jasper turned toward me. “My sweeties, are you okay?” “Yes, I’m fine.” I held my head as I sat down and looked out the window. When I saw something moving from the woods on the side of the road, my eyes widened.

    Ady's POV "Are you hungry? Let's eat first." Damon stopped the car at a gas station with a few restaurants nearby. When Damon parked the car, he got out immediately, and Jasper and I followed. We went straight into the restaurant and looked for a good spot. When we sat down, the waiter came right over and handed us the menu. "My treat, so order whatever you want," said Damon. Jasper grinned but didn't say anything else. After a few minutes, the waiter quickly took our order and left. I turned around, and the ambiance was solemn and very romantic. Couples and families are eating at that restaurant. "You should tell us what happened, Damon," Jasper said. "Talking to those shifters without any doubts makes me feel like you know them, especially the one who helped us find the grave of Ady's parents." Damon took a quick look at me before looking back at Jasper. "I told you I used to live in that place." "So you know those creatures?" Jasper asked. Damon just nodded to respond. Jaspe

    Ady’s POV "Was the creature I saw in the dark before a werewolf?" I tried to remember the past while sitting on the bed but couldn’t. Because of it, I’m troubled. Did I become interested in werewolves because I saw one? I got on the bed. "Damon used to live in Santa Isabel, where we saw the werewolves earlier. Is it possible?’ I shook my head no. ‘NO. It was impossible. Impossible.’ I took a deep breath and then lay down on the bed. ------ Damon’s POV "So it’s true..." I put my hands in both pockets, turned my back on Mom, and walked toward the glass wall. Small lights from businesses, homes, and cars shone in that part of the city, making it look like the sky was full of stars. "My father didn’t hurt me in any way." "It’s a good thing he didn’t hurt you. But what if he did?" "I told you, Mom, Dad, and we just talked." Mama approached me, and I quickly looked at her, who was also looking out at the glass wall. "What did you do in Santa Isabel? How come you went there?" "

    Damon’s POV “Whose house is this?” I took a quick look at Mom. Our car stopped in front of Ady’s home. We even caught up with Jasper and Ady as they left the house. I saw that Mom’s forehead wrinkled when she saw Ady’s grandmother. “I guess you know the old woman, Mom.” Mama looked at me and seemed confused. It surprised me when I first met Ady’s grandmother. That’s why I suddenly left. I remembered her in the hospital. “Y-you mean Ady is Rafael’s daughter?” Mom asked. I gave her a slight nod while she was holding his chest. “I can’t stay away from Ady, Mama. We owe her. Because her father saved us, she’s now an orphan. I-I can’t just leave her alone, Mom.” I saw Mom’s tears. Mom immediately rubbed it with her hand. “I’d like to talk to that woman,” said Mom. I turned toward Ady’s house and saw Jasper’s motorcycle leaving. I turned to my mom when she suddenly opened the door. “Ma...” I exited the car and stopped her before she could cross the road. I looked at Ady’s house be

  • Midnight Howling   Epilogue

    Ady's POV I got a tight hug from my grandmother after I got my medal a cum laude and graduated from the architecture course. A lot happened, and everything was memorable. I thought I wouldn't be able to graduate yet, but here I am today, wearing a cap and gown. "Congratulations!" Damon gave me a hug when he saw me. He also wore his graduation gown and waved his diploma and medal at me. Both Ranzel and Zek came up to me. Ranzel hugged me while Zek gave me a flower. His father's old pack became part of Damon's pack. They all accept Damon as their leader. "My loves!" When he saw me, Jasper smiled widely. He brought me flowers and chocolates as a gift. He also gave me a big hug. Jasper's university graduation was last week, so he graduated before Damon, and I did. As soon as Jasper let go of me, Mama Minerva hugged me. I call her mom because that's what she wants me to do. Damon and Mama Minerva are still together, and Uncle Aman and Jasper are together. Jasper put his hand around my

    Ady's POV My heart was pounding hard, and I was sure this wolf would find me no matter what I did to hide. It attacked several things in the house to catch me, but I was able to get away, so its growl got louder. I hid behind the ample cabinet and writhed in agony from a leg injury. I also saw the blood on the plant that Jasper put there. I put my hand over my mouth so I wouldn't scream or let out a weak moan that the wolf might hear. As the rustling got closer, it made me even more nervous. My tears kept coming out of fear, too. "Ahhh!" When I heard the voice, my eyes grew wide. I was afraid, but I looked in to see what was happening. "Ady, are you okay?" It was Damon's mother speaking. I saw her standing there with blood on her torn clothes and wounds on her forehead, thigh, and arm. "Y-yes," I said in response to his question. "Stay exactly where you are," Minerva said. Then it suddenly turned into a wolf. She has gray fur and is probably tiny compared to the rest of the pac

    Ady's POV I woke up feeling like a thick blanket wrapped around me. That warm, hard stuff felt so good on the skin. Later, it started to move, so I opened my eyes. Even though my vision was blurry, I knew who the man was who hugged me. "J-jasper?" I said weakly. "My loves," Jasper said. His face, which had been blank, suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be thinking deeply. "How're you feeling?" I smiled. "I'm fine." Jasper turned his head away from me and sniffed. "I am sorry you got hurt. I didn't keep my promise to protect you." I lifted my hand and put it on his cheek. "That is not true." "What I'm stating is true because you wouldn't have done this if..." I didn't let Jasper finish his sentence. Instead, I grabbed his neck and pulled him closer to me until our lips touched. It was just a nibbling kiss, but for me, it said a million things that I wanted him to feel. "What's that for?" "For keeping me alive." I smiled at him, and he smiled back. "Jasper!" Jasper and I bot

    Jasper's POV "W-what? We're not cousins; we're twins." The response surprised me. "Dad, you're just kidding, right?" Dad didn't say anything and just kept looking at me. I don't know what I will think or feel right now. I smirked. "This looks like something I've seen in a movie. Dad, if you're serious, tell me, son." "I am telling the truth. Jasper, this is not a movie," said dad. "My best friend is Soledad, and my girlfriend is Minerva. Even though we've been together long, she wasn't my imprint. Iago imprinted her. When she found out, she told me right away, and because it was fate, she said there was nothing we could do. I pursued her because she was planning to kill herself. She didn't like Iago, and there were only two ways to eliminate the imprint. Either one of them or both of them died. And to save her from such a sin, I went after her and did everything I could to get her to accept Iago, even though it hurt me a lot. Minerva agreed, but we had promised that we would be each

    Ady's POV "D-damon?" When I saw Damon's condition, it made me cry. He's staring at me, but I can only hear grunts because he's a wolf. If Damon is the white wolf before me, Jasper is the white wolf who attacked the black wolf. I was seated next to Damon. "Ahhhh," I exclaimed, trying to sit up straight. I turned to Damon and smiled a little. "I'm not going to die. The wolf bit me and almost crushed my bones. I escaped the wolf's bane." My breathing got deeper. I grabbed just above my wound and bit my lip so hard that it almost bled because I bit down hard on it. It hurt like something was moving inside my wound, and I felt very hot inside, like I had a fever. Because of the latter's canine, I had to gasp to view my wound. Later, the white wolf moved closer to me. He got up weakly and came to me. It was staring at me, so I stroked its head. Its old wounds are healing, and it is a mystery to me. "Y-you're healing..." I whispered. I'm trying to change the way I talk so Damon doesn't

  • Midnight Howling   Chapter 86: The Alpha: Iago

    Damon's POV "Hello, son. You make it." I didn't think that my dad would be the first person I saw when I got to the top of the mountain. The air is cold, and fog covers the entire area. "D-dad." Dad chuckled. "Hmm, you don't seem happy. Long time no see." "As far as I can tell, you're not glad to see me. It would be pointless if I hugged you." Dad laughed. Because of wolfsbanes between us, he halted a few meters away. It was like a garden of wolfsbane plants. "How does it feel? Be a Lycan? To be the strongest of all?" he asked. "Did you feel the craving for blood and power?" "Why would you ask? Are you curious to know if we feel the same way?" "No. We'll never feel the same way again. You are different." "Yes, you are right; I am different. Both of us are different." I said. The wind started blowing again, and the smell of wolfsbane drifted through the air. I felt something strange inside my body. I can't explain why. But it's like hot water that starts to boil inside of me.

    Jasper’s POV "Mom, do you know anything?" We were talking in the kitchen while Dad sent everyone out. Ady, Damon, my dad, and my mom stayed with me. Their expressions were serious, and I got the feeling that no one wanted to answer my questions. I could feel the tension in them, and it looked like Ady and I were the only ones who didn’t know what was happening. "Ady should not be here," Mom said. "Why? She’s my girlfriend, so she’s part of the family," I said. "She’s your imprint?" There was shock at Damon’s question. He glanced at Ady. "Yep, she is." Damon smiled. "I’m relieved." I scowled at what Damon said, but I didn’t pay attention. I looked at mom and dad as if they were talking to each other with their eyes. "You aren’t telling me something. Damon knows something that I don’t. Why are you doing those things? Are you also keeping secrets from me?" I asked. "What’re you talking about, Jasper?" dad asked. "You have no idea, dad?" Dad stared at Mom for a second before tu

    Damon's POV "What?" Jasper glanced at me, then at his mother, and then at me again. "I think they were using blackmail," Jasper said. "Yeah, Mama won't go with them because she'll die before that happens," I said. "I must go." "Where're you going?" Jasper's mom asked. "I'll find mom." "You're alone," it asked. "Wait until Aman comes to save your mother." I frowned when I heard Jasper's father's name for the first time. Aman? Is that his name? "There is no need. I'm not part of your pack; you don't have to help them." "But you helped Granny and Ady." Jasper's mom said. "Because they were the reason then, Mama. They were the reason Ady's parents died; they saved them. Now, Ady's grandmother, and she almost died because of them, and because he was a..." "Jasper, if they were the reason, Minerva didn't force them, I'm sure." Jasper's mom said. When she mentioned Mama, she seemed to know her too. "I need you to be considerate, Jasper. She needs help, and I'm sure that even if sh

    Damon's POV "What? Blood Moon Twins legend?" Jasper asked. "Well, that's a new one on me. I don't know anything about that story. So there is a legend, and only your mother knows?" I nodded. "It was just a story. I didn't believe it either at the time, but one of the descriptions in the story shows me that the myth is true. I was born a lycan, and it's possible that Jacob was one, too. Like in the story, we were born twins under the blood moon." "Perhaps it's just a coincidence," Jasper said. "Why did his father take Jacob? You said it had only been a few hours since you were born, so Jacob still needs your mother's milk. I'm just curious." "I also have no idea why he took Jacob or how he knew that Jacob was his son." "You mean your mom's ex could have taken the wrong baby? I mean, you're possibly his child and not Jacob's." I didn't speak. I've been thinking about that a lot. Mom said the DNA test showed that my father and I were different, but Armando took Jacob, and I have no
