Writer's POVAfter a few days had passed since Jade had been poisoned. She had regained consciousness, but her health was still fragile. And the Pack's doctor had confirmed that it's a slow poison… So, literally, everyone thought she wouldn't make it out alive.Marc had been by her side the entire time, worrying about her recovery.While Harlow, who had always suspected Blair for the whole act had been keeping a close eye on her, trying to catch her in the act of doing something nefarious. But so far, she hadn't found anything incriminating.Harlow had been feeling down lately. She wasn't sure why, but she just couldn't shake the feeling of sadness that had been weighing on her. She found herself wandering into space, she was damn well that she saw Blair administering something in Jade's room, and it was also a miracle to her that Blair had disappeared for some minutes and Jade was healed afterward. Furthermore, she was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Alaric approaching
Blair's POVRunning caught many guards in order not to get caught making a silly movement, and at the same time holding the content of what I had in my hands tight. The security was so tight this time as everyone believes that a murderer is in the pack.Well, I'm not one.Aspiring to be one.Oops!— don't call me a psycho, that kind of hurts.It's funny isn't it, some people see to take the darkness like a dangerous thing but me, the reverse is the case.I embrace the darkness because it's more beautiful when you can't see the shadows, you just walk only scared of tripping.More and more guards came trouping in an if I get caught with the way I was behaving, I would surely get thrown into the dungeon.I look like a criminal to myself. Oh, what the hell!I thought I was the only one who was hiding, or should I say sneaking to get something.Irene? What was she up to this time? I still had this look of disdain in my eyes when I spotted her.I hated her with my guts.“What the hell are y
Harlow's PovI find everything about Blair really uncomfortable. I'm not comfortable with the fact that I feel so uncomfortable about that.Watching her lie almost blew my head up in anger. Who the hell is she trying to deceive? Maybe Marc, but not me… No, never.“Okay, if that be the case, what are you holding?” Immediately, Marc's eyes scanned her body.I'm very sure I saw her holding something a few minutes ago.“W…what do you mean?” Opening her two hands ajar to show that she's got nothing with her.I'm not done with her because I'm not blind.“Could it be that you slid it down your robe?" My inquisitive eyes shot sharply at her and she swallowed a non-existing lump.“I don't think she's got anything with her.” Coming from behind, Alaric started to give me a knowing look.I glanced at Blair one last time and crossed my hands around Marc's neck.“My Lord, she's getting better, but she's still weak.” The pack's doctor announced while I used my arms to caress Jade's hands. That sin
Alpha Vixen's Pov~He's a side character, but he played an important role in upcoming chapters~As stupid as Irene can be. What does she take me for?A fool? I'm just using her as a pawn in my game. Whether now or later, she'd be disposed of.I want to get the sacred staff, certainly. I'm qualified for it because I've got children already, and they are actually the heirs to the Black Tide pack, the pack where I rule as an Alpha.Alpha Marc of the Green Oak pack isn't supposed to be with the sacred staff because he isn't fit for it, as he doesn't have an heir… I don't care if it was willed to him because of how many wars he had won victoriously. I still want the old rule established.I was compared with Marc times without numbers. My father would never stop threatening me if I don't become as brave as him.Everything wrecks Marc while growing up!It was a tough one for me.I got to know of a past lover Marc had while growing up who happened to be Irene, a desperate fellow who wants t
Harlow's PovI stood outside the window, observing the shadows I saw in the darkness.That person actually came out of the pack house, but what I don't know is who the person could be.Blair?No, that definition can't be Blair.Who on earth could it be?“What's wrong?” I heard the voices of Marc and I swerved around to face him.“Nothing.” I replied as I simply did not want him to stress over anything.“Don't tell me anything when you're so engrossed in what you're seeing.” He brushed my neck with his lips and kissed me slightly. That alone sent shivers down my spine.“Whatever you see outside, you don't have to bother about me, as I have everything under control.” Marc knows about the people in the woods by this time of the day, so technically he knows the person who left the pack house.“Do we have a mole In the pack?” That was the only thought that came to my head, aside from what else.“Yes, who does have a mole?” He responded, and his face turned dark.“Who is it?” I asked him d
Harlow's PovHow the hell could this new rival named Vixen be?Okay, he wants to take over the Green Oak pack but why? Things aren't clear, and I felt a headache coming.It appears that the more I try to figure out what is happening, the more my head spins.This trouble is too much for Marc to handle, and thank goodness that Alaric is here to support him.Turning around, I left them in a bid to meet Jade in her room and maybe discuss this with her.In no time, I was already at Jade's room. I knocked lightly, and the door creaked open.“I knew you would come.” Jade started and opened the door for me.“ I thought you'd be asleep now. “ I sat on her armchair while she sat across from me.“ Who sleeps when evil is lurking around? “ She scoffed. It then dawned on me that she's aware of what is happening right now.“ I'm scared....." She stated and that instant, goosebumps washed all over me.“ Who wouldn't be scared? What if Marc fails?” I asked if I'm doubts.“ He can't fail, he's got a l
Blair's PovWhat wrong did I do?What have I committed?What if I'm the first target to die for what I did to jade? What if Marc finds out that's the reason?Damn!I'm doomed!I hated the fact that I had to sit with these ladies and was discussing my safety with them.I really do not care about anyone but honestly, I live Marc and would go any length to protect him.Now about this Vixen Guy, or should I firstly talk about Irene?I mean, she's the big fish here, and she totally forgot that we could end her at any time.All those aside… Harlow had really changed.Her skin looks brighter, and her emotions change a lot.I'd do a proper check on her later.Okay, Vixens wants to take over the Green Oak pack but why? Oh, damn!I guess it's because of the sacred staff!By right, Marc isn't supposed to be with it.“*You're the reason Marc is suffering, you don't love him but rather you're destroying him*” Where did that come from?I looked around Jade's room, but no other person was there ap
Harlow's Pov“We can't do any of what we just said! It's lame, childish, and Irene can never fall for our ideas.” I confirmed.Irene is smart, and she's a crook, so I don't think she would fall for our rubbish trap. But, Blair… She's talking about committing murder.“And, Blair, you do know you can't kill anyone, right? It's going to be a very heated war the moment Irene dies, and every finger would point at you.” I explained, and a thought came to my head. “Why would you even think of killing her? “ I blurted out my thoughts, and she blinked at me confused at what answer to give.“ Harlow, I'm the first Luna, and you're not telling me what to say or do! “ Blair replied darkly.Here she goes again!Who's dragging the first Luna with her?“ This isn't about being the first Luna or not. Truth be told, your heart is really poisoned, that's why only dark things come out of it. “ Jade scoffed the moment she made that statement and she stood up.“I won't co—” “Could you just keep quiet and
*GOT ANOTHER MATE! DOOMSDAY!!!*Already aware of the fact that the Alpha I had just served was my second chance mate, I decided to act like I didn't notice anything and just keep on moving.Especially now that it seems like he isn't aware yet but who am I kidding?He's an Alpha and it's possible that he already knew it before I noticed.Why else would he thank a servant?I was about to pour wine for the person beside him when I felt an additional weight on my hand and somehow the touch made my body tingle."Mate." He announced to the hearing of everyone and I raised my gaze to meet his smiling eyes.Immediately, some of the Alpha's began cheering him and my eyes moistened up.Was he accepting me?On my birthday?Double bliss!!!I didn't know why but I suddenly got that feeling you get when someone is staring intensely at you and I had to swerve.As I turned, my eyes came face to face with Alpha Amos.It seemed like he was using his eyes to drill and bore holes at the back of my head.
*A MATE, AGAIN? DON'T COME TO ABANDON JUST STAY*Taken back to the dungeon was one of the most dreadful experiences but I was able to stay alive till this very moment though the darkness still creeped me out and I couldn't wait to see the light of day. Though I wasn't sure that particular wish would ever be granted. *Scoffs*Not like any of my wishes ever gets granted.Just as I cursed my very own existence, the door to the dungeon creaked open. It was like some movie that had been rewinded because come to think of it, this was the same way the door to the dungeon opened the first time I was here. "You're quite a lucky one." A voice came from the doorway and the effect of seeing sunshine after a long while made me shut my eyes as they were hurting. Shutting my eyes wasn't enough as the lights were still able to penetrate into my eyes as if they would pierce through my soul at any time.My whole being felt sore and it was even more like I'd been deprived of my freedom to live like
*BITTER SWEET*I stared with my face and eyes moistened up with tears at everyone as they threw different spiteful insults at me.Wow... How fast does news fly here?It's almost like they had a transmitter or something because how did everyone know I had shifted and even killed someone in less than an hour.Fear gripped me as I wondered the severe punishment that awaited me if the royal palace hears of this.Gosh, the last thing I want is getting back into that dungeon.If only everyone would have just a little sympathy and shut their darned mouth then everything would be fine, or would it?No matter how much I wanted sympathy, it's quite clear I just murdered someone.My thinking wasn't flowing in the right direction anymore but I couldn't fail to realize that even when I shifted to my human form, I still had my clothes on.That doesn't happen or does it?I don't even know anything anymore.And it seems like everyone is oblivious of that particular detail... My clothes aren't shredde
DREADED NIGHT*I ran out when no one was expecting and I'm pretty sure no one noticed but something was totally off. The howls in the shadows kept me in a state of both confusion and fear as I couldn't interpret the animal that produces such a howling sound.I needed to focus on how to escape effortlessly but it seems that the sound keeps distracting me by implanting fear in me. At some point I felt like it was there for only one purpose and that's me!But what the hell could that be?I noticed that I didn't have enough time to deliberate on whatever that thing was so I had to let go and continue my run.... I had this strong instinct that I would escape successfully.Where do I have in mind to go?No where!Absolutely nowhere because I had no connections with the neighboring packs. But then I still had to escape to save myself.I had gone so far and with my observations, I knew fully well that I was about to cross the border but that would only happen successfully if I am able to figh
Harlow's PovIt's already been months since I was able to feel myself once again. The fact that many things weren't right wasn't something anyone can doubt as it was clear like crystal. Everyone including everything seemed strange and it felt like I woke up from a long trance. Constantly looking at Blair stared down at me like I was a ghost, or Rona who always avoids me like I carry a disease. Not to talk of Jade whom I knew was somehow close to..."Arghhhh." I screamed internally trying my best not to yell out how frustrated I feel. I watched as Blair started walking to my direction, I felt like walking away but no, curiosity made me stay to hear whatever shit she has to say to me."How are you doing? Let's grab a drink or two." Blair didn't even wait for a reply from me as she threw both questions at me without even waiting for my reply."Excuse me but are you talking to a kid?" I asked her, anger evident in my voice."Can we go now? You mustn't throw a fit you know." Rona muttered
*Santiago*I had left Nadia's room so she would feel a little comfortable because it seemed she acted kind of weird with my presence around.Going to my study room, I placed my head on my desk as the events that had happened yesterday came like flashes of light.I had rescued a girl that would have been hanging 6 feet above if I didn't get there the time I did with my team.Now that's bad of me, always forgetting to introduce myself.I'm Santiago Beckett, doctor and banker. I know it sounds weird but that was it!!I had my mother and myself to take care of so I had to do a double task to make ends meet.And my mind went to my mother, my expression and emotion immediately changed as tragedy hit.I had rescued a girl the night before and lost my mum the same night.What a bad fate!!As a doctor, I tried my best to save my mother as it seemed she was torn apart by an animal but what I had forgotten to ask the team that found her, was where they found her body!Quite forgetful of me.Some
NadiaOn getting to his house which freaked me out like hell, we alighted and I kept staring at the car—like he called it— with a dreamy look in my eyes as I gazed at it.The noise that came out of the car when we were inside was deafening.This particular world looked weird with freaky and terrific gadgets but I kinda liked it... How the hell did we get here in split minutes? Even if it was fast, it was slow somehow!!He took me in and offered me a room but everywhere looked too clean and classy for me. I don't know why but I would have preferred it a little dirty.And also, I had forgotten to ask him why he had run out of the hospital when he had been questioning me earlier. Oh damn it!! I'll make sure to question him about it.Few minutes later, Santiago re–entered the room with a mug in his hands though his countenance wasn't as bright as it was before."Here you go. Herbs and tea, it would help relieve you of the pain you might be feeling." He said and dropped the steaming tea o
Long time ago in the Green Oak pack*MEMORIES GONEWith no other option left, I strode out of the Green oak pack as tears trickled down my eyes.I was leaving the only place I called home!!I should have known that trying to be compatible with Moses would end in a losing game.I had suffered tribulation and gotten addicted all for a losing game!!Getting to the outskirts of the city, the guards that were assigned to make sure I left the pack without causing any troubles stopped and retired back to the pack because they had gotten to their limit.I was now left alone to find my way into the woods alone as more tears fell down my eyes.Just then, I felt strange and sharp chills run down my spine and I started screaming in anguish.My head was burning and my eyes turned crystal blue as I scratched my head in exasperation.Early Lunar Madness again!!!It was too much for my human self to take so I had no other choice but to shift to my wolf form.As I transformed into my wolf form, I bega
"You killed her!!!" Alpha Xander of the Crimson pack yelled.And that was enough to confuse the remaining sanity I had left."What are you talking about!?" I asked in anger. This is becoming too much for me to handle… but then, I have to be strong for not just myself, including my pack members. I have to protect them at all costs."Don't ask me that question!!! Aside from your pack, there is no other brutal and senseless pack." Alpha Xander blurted out."Enough of the insults already!!! What were you talking about!? Killed who?" I hollered as I felt my brain would explode soon.My head was spinning as I couldn't think straight anymore. When he said 'you killed her' my thoughts drifted to Petal.Could it be that she's dead? No, that can't happen.What went wrong? " You killed Amanda!!! The child was just innocent…You killed her because you couldn't find any way to reach Petal!!!" He shouted.Okay that's fair, nothing happened to Petal and that was a relief but not entirely a sweet r
