Harlow's POV"She was a friend, a daughter, a committed follower... and a sister. She was one willing to trade her life for the safety of her sisters" one of the witches who stood at the far end uttered those words.We stood at the river bank, though not exactly close to where the waves and tides would push the waters to touch our feet. Dressed in black, I stood there, looking at the deep ground which was dug for Gwen's body, and I looked afar towards Gwen who laid there, lifeless.The best I could remember, she was one of the liveliest people I ever met, a joyous soul with a touch of authority and bravery. But here we gathered, honoring the dead, about to put her body in the earth where she would become one with nature.I fought back the tears that tried rolling down my eyes, and I wiped off my dripping nostrils, and sniffled hard at the pain her death had caused to us all."Find peace, sister," the lady uttered again.I stood and watched as the other ladies walked towards where Gwen
Third POVA few weeks had passed since it was officially stated that Harlow had lost the child. It occurred in a matter of seconds, without having any time for a remedy. And for Harlow, it felt as though a part of her was cut off from her being, as though she had lost the most important asset of her existence.She confided deeply in herself, confining herself in a certain room for days, not uttering a word, and refusing any edible substance to aid her survival."It's been weeks, Harlow!" One of the elderly women of the coven said to her. She had stepped into the room, holding in her hand a tray which contained bowels and plates filled with food, whose smelling savour had filled the room While another would easily rush after what sweetened the nose, she remained on the bed, laying with her hands tied and placed on her chest, and her eyes fixed on the ceiling. "Harlow, you can't keep doing this to yourself" the lady uttered. She dropped the heavy item she held in her hand and walked t
Harlow's POV A bright light shone from above upon my face, one which pierced through my closed eyelids and forced me to wake from my subconscious. I had my hands placed over my eyes by reflex, and looked away from this source with a slight hiss. I blinked numerous times, closing my eyes for long and opening them before I was able to have the perfect view of where I was. I felt something around my skin. From the feel I could tell it was a minute organism. Yet as minute and inconsiderable it could be, I felt the discomfort of having something creep around my neck regionI slammed my palm against my neck, and checked back again to realize my palm coated in blood. The quantity alone was enough to prove my thoughts wrong. But when I glared at my hands and tried to wipe off the blood from my hands, I shrieked at the feel of a bigger creature creeping over my legs, striking a feat inside of me that caused me to yell and roll on the ground before I stood from the ground. I ran from whe
Marc's POV"We need more men at the eastern section" one of the guards said to me"And why is that?" I asked him"The people feel insecure, and unsafe. It gives them the impression that you must have abandoned them" the guard said again to me.Abandoned them? That was so untrue of my leadership. Perhaps I must have forgotten about the others and focused only on the elite, and this was probably what could have caused a deviation in the hearts of the people away from me. I needed to set things right, and make sure that the people understood my greatest concern for their safety.I stand at the window, my heart heavy with sorrow. The sun is sinking below the horizon, but it does little to lift my spirits. All I can think of is Harlow, the woman I love with all my being. But she is gone, her memories lost to some cruel twist of fate. I can't even look at her picture without feeling the pain of her absence. It feels as if a part of me has been torn away, leaving a gaping hole in my chest.
Writer's POVJust then Amelia with mouth agape in shock, astounded as to what was going on. Before she could say a word to Nara, Alpha Roman came bursting in.Alpha Roman was as shocked as Ameila as a troop was already gathering, staring in fright at the fight that just happened.Before Amelia could reach out to Mila, a rogue wolf came bursting in.Everyone became alerted. Just as Roman was about to charge at the rogue, three tropes of rogue came in all at once.The situation was so tragic!!!!No one planned or prepared for a fight today. Nara was so confused, she never planned for any of this. She seems to be the most shocked person amongst everyone present there."How do I fight in this condition?" Nara asked herself.She was brutally injured from the kick she got from Mila. Mila on the other hand was surprised but doesn't seem surprised.The next thing no one ever expected happened.Mila began to heal from all the punches, kicks, and scratches she got from Nara. Meanwhile, Nar
~War cry~The pack was so brutal with corpses all over the place. The whole place was a mess and very tragic. Things were broken and there were visible signs of fighting and blood in the ground and wall.The whole place was eerie.Some pack members were crying, because many lost their loved one's."It really hurts to see all these innocent souls die". I heard Mila say and then she collapsed.Thank goodness Amelia was close enough to catch her."Mila, Mila, Mila are you okay?" Amelia asked her worriedly.Everyone turned towards Mila with worry etched on their faces.I already had my heart in my mouth, but surprisingly Mila opened her eyes. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. I thought I was the only one holding in my breath."Take me inside please." Mila said out to Amelia in a weak voice."Yes, sure." Amelia answered in assurance.I know Amelia wouldn't be able to carry Mila, but in order not to raise another scene I asked one of the female lycans to help send Mila to Amelia's room bec
*Unknown*"Who said I hold anything against her? It's you Roman, you've really changed. You now care so much about someone you barely know. What about me, Roman? Huh...... We have been friends since childhood, yet the attention you give to Mila you've never given it to me." Nara said in a harsh tone.Now can someone tell me what she's emphasizing on.I looked at her with fury in my eyes. She flinched because she knew I was angry. "Nara, we were friends when we were still kids and we are still friends, but that shouldn't make you forget the fact that I am your Alpha." I growled at her angrily."And do not not think that as the beta of this pack you have the right to misbehave." I told her."Roman, i____""That's enough!!!" I growled.Tears trickled down her cheeks, I felt guilty but guilty for what?What exactly is wrong with her and why Is she crying?Jeez!!! This is one thing about women I really hate. They are really drama queens.I didn't spare her anymore time, I just walked o
The next morning.....I didn't sleep till the following day, I think it was the effect of the coffee.I felt like I fell off a cliff, my whole body hurts like hell. I couldn't even feel my self.It was now I noticed I was in a different room.The room I saw my self In wasn't familiar to me ,this wasn't the room they gave to me.I thought to my self.But where could this be? Just then Amelia walked in, the first question I could register in my head and asked her was:"Amelia where am I"? "Is that a good morning or what?" Amelia asked me, seemingly displeased by my actions."I'm sorry, it's just that I woke in an unfamiliar room." I responded to her pouting and making a cute funny face.And yes, that got her."It's okay, have you forgotten you asked me to bri____" The remaining words hung in her mouth. She acted like someone who was just reminded not to say a particular thing."You were saying something." I reminded her "Don't bother it's nothing serious." She replied me as she wav
*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
