Marc's PovTobias said, stepping out of the shadows with a slight grin on his face.The smirk alone made me hunger to punch him in the face and get that smug look out of his face.Hell, when did he start calling me brother?This punk would really get a beating from me and I hope I kill him at the end of it all cause what the hell?Messing with my mate was a step he shouldn't have ventured."You had better start talking!" I growled because I was using up all the energy I had within me to stay sane."What would you like me to talk about?" Jason said and his cool expression infuriated me the most."Don't get on my nerves Tobias... I've had a lot of blood on my hands already and you wouldn't be added to the list. Just spit out what you did with Harlow. My blood is like a ticking bomb right now." I warned and I saw him jolt back in surprise because of the volume of my voice.Everything I just spouted out in front of Jason was true!I just wished to rip Tobias apart but my wolf chanting ins
Marc's PovFor once in all the time that the elders had called on me to tell me the disastrous news I didn't want to hear, I had the situation under control for myself.It felt good notwithstanding the void I felt inside of me to see these old treacherous men argue amongst themselves."I'm your spokesperson but I don't reside in your hearts, I only speak what you all must have concluded." He stated, standing his ground and I chuckled inwardly staring at their frustrated faces."I can see for a fact that you don't have the answer settled in mind, I'll have to leave because I've run out of patience sitting down here immobile and listening to your jittering. Get back to me once you have an answer settled in mind. Besides, there is somewhere I have to be at this instant." I reiterated whilst standing up though I thought I might receive some scolding for trying to leave their presence without their permission.To my utmost surprise, none of them breathed a word till I walked out the door
Harlow's Pov Sitting in place staring at her with all anxiousness, I anticipated what she would say and or know about my dear parents.It had always been a lifelong dream for me to get to know them better even if they were dead.At least, that would appease my broken soul that became void and distant when they died leaving me all alone in this crucial, evil and hard world if not for the man known as Alaric.So as the woman stared at me again to be sure I was prepared for whatever it was she was about to say, I nodded my head in affirmation, adjusting in my seat."Firstly, as inquisitive as you are...you didn't even ask for my name." She said and i mentally scolded myself.I should never have missed that."Ouch, my forgetfulness. Please what's your—" I was asking before she cut me off abruptly."There's no need to ask anymore, I'm just about saying it. My name is Lisa..last known witch of the spirits circle." She began but when she said the last known witch, it made me wonder if other
Harlow's Pov" Can you just calm down Harlow? These people are amongst the set of witches banished from the werewolf community. They are homeless, they need help which I know I can offer to them so I would like you to cooperate and be friendly, speak to them nicely and make more friends. Everything would be fine and no one would harm you." Lisa assured me. "But then, I'm still scared and I don't know how to trust anyone. What if you want to drink my blood and live long? I asked and Lisa gave me a deadly look... that alone made me keep my mouth shut." You can't just say stupid things you're not sure of... from today henceforth they are going to stay here with us and you have to be free with that for the safety of you and your child." Lisa concluded and left. I need no soothsayer to tell that she's angry.I smiled to myself but the smile faded when I heard a creepy and agonizing cry."What's that sound?" I questioned myself mentally.It sounded weird and scared the hell out of me. I
Harlow's Pov"Hey Wolfy!" I heard a voice call out on sarcasm and of course she was talking to me because I am the only wolf here.I never knew witches could be this sassy though but I am more when I want to be."Hey, monster." I replied in the same format and watched her seethe in anger.I did say that on purpose because I know the witches hate being called monsters.I really did want to piss her off so that next time before she thinks of bad mouthing someone, she'd really intend to know the temperament of the person. "She's a sassy bitch." Xenia mumbled to my ears alone meanwhile Lisa got back to whatever she was doing."I see... But don't forget you were too" I spoke."Did you just call me a monster? Well I've got less time to spend on a weakling like you. I'd formally introduce myself to you–'' I didn't want to listen to the trash she has to say so I cut her short."I am very much not interested in knowing who you are." I pepped and walked out while Gwen and Xenia trailed behind
Harlow's Pov"What do you think that sound could be? I asked in a whisper and instead of getting a response, they used their hands to shut my mouth.I had no other choice but to keep quiet because with the way they looked alert, I knew something was definitely wrong, something way more than me.I forget all the time that I'm pregnant, it just feels the same."What? I'm tired of squatting, I'm really hungry." I hollered which made both Gwen and Xenia glare at me. They didn't utter a word but rather looked at me weirdly and I wondered what they were staring down there looking at me like that. I trailed their line of sight only to see them staring at my little bump, and I subconsciously rubbed my hands on my stomach."Mood swings." Xenia muttered and Gwen nodded." For real guys, I'm hungry. " I complained with a pout." We can't leave here now because we do not know what is lurking in the woods. Lisa warned us to make sure you're safe and we can't let anything happen to you so please
Lisa's povDeath has become a day to day activity... How to go about it or what to really do is now my fear. I know that soon, if I don't hand Harlow over, which I would never try to do, those psycho's would come to take her forcefully.Harlow has been acting weird these days and I know the pregnancy is beginning to take effect on her soon. Her irritation for things and cravings would be at the peak so I'm trying hard to prepare for it. "Gwen is gone, no!" Ivy screamed and I turned around only to see that Irene was really gone.What to do? What to do?Confusion hit me very hard...."Lisa handover Harlow, we can't continue like this!" Someone yelled." Besides, she isn't even one of us! " Another spoke." Silence everyone! Why don't you all leave here? Since you didn't come to this place she has been safe! What's your sole purpose of coming here? " I asked, anger very visible in my voice. "You dare not raise your voice at me ever again you ungrateful creatures." I added and they kept
Harlow's PovKidnapped?Really!?Well I wasn't even shaken a bit because I knew I'd definitely get out of here but then I dont have the strength to even raise a hand so I just had to relax and let them do whatever they were doing."Go this way, doggy!" Someone who was mishandling me shouted, dragging me forcefully."What the fuck is wrong with you? You better handle her well if you don't want Nadia to cut you into pieces. " Another shouted and that instant the fool holding me started handling me with care. She had to!"Don't you dare think this made you safe, because I'd still deal with you!" She muttered darkly.I wasn't responding to her and I was doing it on purpose just to infuriate her further."Are you purposely snubbing me? " She asked but when I kept quiet because I knew that if I should say anything, it would sound as an insult and I wasn't ready for a fight, I can barely lift an ankle.I wasn't able to proceed with everything that was happening because they all looked very
*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
