I have been avoiding Willow throughout yesterday, after that threat, I’m not sure if I want to be anywhere near her. I’m not afraid of her but I’m afraid of those eyes of hers. It reminded too of him- the monster werewolf. The way her eyes flickered at me was scary and I can’t seem to forget about it. Now there are two sets of eyes hunting me, how can this get any worse- oh wait, it will totally be worse if today turns out to be a disaster. Which will hopefully not be since I have planned my day. Last night, when I went back to the store room to look for the map of the house, but instead I found something even greater than the house map. I found the map of the whole town, and I can’t wait to use it. I figured with the map of the town, I can go door-to-door looking for the werewolf, and not only that, I can use the map to plot a path through the streets to avoid any encounters with the werewolf. I want to get to him before he gets to me. Putting the map in my backpack, I zipped it clo
"Where did you get this from?" She asked but before I could answer she looked at me and that profound expression she had on her face made me nervous"I know something about her." She said. "Really, you do?" I asked excitedly. I can’t express how much happy I am to finally meet someone that knows something about my mom. It makes me feel like I’m a step closer to finding the monster werewolf. "What do you know about her?" I asked "I know so many things about her. She was someone very important in this land.""Really?""Yes dear, but I can’t tell you much about her right now." She said "Why not?""It’s not safe here." She responded "It’s not safe?" I questioned gazing at the environment. There wasn’t anything dangerous about it. "Why isn’t it safe?""You won’t understand. We can’t be caught talking about her. If we are, we will bare losses and endure the consequences." The woman said sounding profound. I will be lying if I say that she isn’t scaring me. "Why? Did something bad hap
I felt the scream trying to rip its way up my throat as panic took over. What have I gotten myself into?They began walking round and round around me roaring. My lungs constricted and my body went cold. That this moment I know I am going to die. No one is coming to save me. One of the werewolves began walking towards me he roared loudly to my face and by just looking at these incredibly sharp teeth of his, I knew he was ready to eat me. His hand danced around my body and before I knew it he ripped off the jacket I was wearing. I let out a whimper as I squeezed my eyes shut hoping to stop crying. I wanted to beg him to stop, I wanted to run away but I am too scared to do that. I screamed at the pain of the scratches on my arm. Maybe he wanted to rip my sleeve off and might have taken out my skin as well. My eyes were still closed, and I heard a motorcycle sound coming in our direction. A sudden wind nipped at my face and I realized the werewolf wasn’t standing next to me. Maybe his go
"Maya I need you to-" Jane’s voice chipped into the room but halted her sentence once she saw me packing my bags. "Why are you packing?" Jane asked walking toward me. "I am leaving, I don’t think I want to stay here anymore." I responded shoveling my clothes inside the suitcase "But why? I thought you weren’t leaving until you find the werewolf." She sat beside the suitcase "I am not doing that anymore, I don’t think I will be able to find the werewolf, I don’t think I will be able to get my revenge." I said "Why would you think that Maya?""I am weak, I can’t fight, I can’t do anything. I can’t even protect myself." I think I am the most pathetic human on earth. I have been living my life thinking of one thing- a perfect way to seek my revenge but now that I am out, I can’t even do that. "What are you talking about, you can do it, Maya. You came all the way from the human world, I am sure you can do it." She said "I can’t. Victoria is right, I can’t seek my revenge even if I w
Jane told me that there will be a party happening tonight, and I have to be very careful because the event will be packed with so many werewolves. I told her that I didn’t want to attend but she says I have no choice. According to everyone, I am an unmated werewolf which makes it very necessary for me to attend. She even explained the essence of the event so I can understand why I have to attend but to be honest, after all the explanation, I didn’t understand a word she said. Jane told me all that information at the last minute so I didn’t even have much time to think of what I will wear. Even if she had told me this earlier, I wouldn’t have figured out the best dress to wear. I took a quick shower to freshen up and then I wore a blue floral dress with black flat shoes. I put a beautiful little bow on my hair after packing it into a ponytail. Jane said I have to look outstanding so I think this bow will shine the whole look.I smile at my reflection in my full-length mirror, I can’t
My eyes never let the man with the golden cloak, I won’t let him leave without me seeing his face. Once he took off the cloak I began walking toward him, I don’t want to run toward him because I don’t want to look suspicious. The entire dance floor was crowded so it was quite hard to keep track of him mostly because he was walking away. Taking more steps toward him, someone bumped into me and his cloak nipped at my face. As I shoved it away from my face, I looked in the direction I was heading; the golden cloak man was gone. I pushed people out of the way, yet I couldn’t find a trace of him. Shit! "I am so sorry." The guy that bumped into me said "Your apology isn’t gonna help me." I screeched at him. This is all his fault. I would have seen the werewolf if it wasn’t for him and his stupid red cloak. I immediately got the position he was standing earlier, I looked around, and there wasn’t a sign of him. Did he vanish or what! I scanned the entire place, yet no sign of him. Even
My eyes started to slowly open; slightly hazy. I turned around and saw someone standing by the window, talking to a man that is almost the same height as him. I couldn’t see who it was because my eyes are yet to be cleared."Are you sure what you’re saying is correct?" The man standing by the window asked"Yes, hundred percent.""Okay. You can leave but remember, you know nothing." The man nodded and walked out. Once my eyes cleared they began adjusting to the brightness of the room. "Oh, God," I mumbled, touching my forehead. My head is burning, I think I am going to have the worst headache. I massage my temples as a sigh escapes my mouth. The first person my eyes saw was Ashton. He is standing by the window. "What hap-""You fainted," Ashton responded immediately knowing that it is the exact question I was going to ask."Oh, my God." I slam my head back on the pillow. How wouldn’t I faint, a gigantic wolf was about to eat me. Taking a deep breath, Ashton tug his hands into his pan
My heart lurched in my chest as my eyes dilated.He knows. "For how long did you think you can keep playing everyone around?" He whispered into my ear. Ashton’s breath fans the side of my face and he brought himself even closer to me, pressing his chest against my back. Questions blasted my mind and realization blow me up as I stood there unmoving. I have no idea what to say or what to do. How does he know that I am a human? What is he planning on doing with me now that he knows? Will I be a captive? Will he kill me? Will Jane be penalized for helping a human? Questions ramped in my mind and as I begin to turn around, I heard Ashton laughing.I looked at him wondering why he is laughing. Did something funny happen? Since Ashton was laughing, I decided to laugh along with him. Maybe he wasn’t serious after all, maybe he doesn’t know that I’m a human. He might have wanted to scare me. I awkwardly laugh along with him but I can see that both of our laughter were fake. "Nice joke, ver
I love Ashton so much and I am so excited for our big day tomorrow but I’m extremely nervous. I’m having cold feet. I know I want to marry him but I’m scared. I mean, marriage is a big deal. I don’t know if I can do it. I have been standing in front of Victoria’s room for almost ten minutes now. I want to go in and speak to her but I don’t want her to think I’m unserious, I tried speaking to Jane but she is of no help, I wanted to speak to Dad but he is not here tonight, he is at Ashton’s bachelor's party. Ashton didn’t want to have a party but Ryle and Aiden insisted on throwing one for him. Dad joined them because didn’t want to be stuck with the girls and he says he wouldn’t want to miss Ashton’s bachelor’s party for anything. While they had gone, Victoria, Jane, and I had a little fun girl's night. We did a lot of fun activities and we had a lot of fun. But eventually, we all got tired and decided to go to bed, of course, I didn’t go to bed because I was too nervous. I release
~ ASHTON’S POVI have been working on this for the past one week. I want everything to be perfect and for that to happen it has to go as planned. This is one of the most important things I’m going to do in life and I don’t want to screw it. I look at the arrangements one more time, it looks good but I can’t help but think it’s not the best work. I want everything to go exactly the way Maya dreamt about it. If I’m the man of her dreams then I should be able to propose to her the way she dreamt about it. I earlier told Jane about it and since I want it to be a surprise I asked Jane to keep Maya busy so she doesn’t suspect a thing. They are at home right now and I think in a couple of minutes they will come here to the restaurant. I want to propose here because this is Maya’s favorite place for dinner dates and we spent a lot of our wonderful times here.I can not wait to see Maya’s reaction when I propose. I even asked Aiden to videotape her reaction when I propose to her. I would love
~ A month laterI got discharged from the hospital and my wound seem to have already healed. The doctor said the cut wasn’t that deep which I am glad it isn’t. Things have been going pretty good around here. I have had one of my best times in this month. To say I am happy is an understatement because I am way more than happy- I am elated. I have the most wonderful family with me which has two of my favorite people in the world. Dad and Ashton. I think Dad is as happy as I am. I am really glad that he’s feeling much healthier now, and he has been enjoying his time with us and he is getting the hang of being around everyone. At first, he seem a little scared around people but now he is comfortable. I can not be any more happier to see him smiling every day. Ashton on the other hand, has been nothing but supportive of me and Dad. He spends quality time with his dad and I think his dad likes him, at first, he wasn’t sure of Ashton because he is Narya’s son but Ashton showed him that he
I woke up to the sound of the heart monitor beeping to my left. Am I in the hospital? I turn my gaze around to see Ashton sleeping soundly close to my lap with his hand holding mine. I smiled at him, he must have spent the night here. I look around the room and realize that I am in a hospital and I’m wearing an oxygen mask. I take the mask off my face and as I move my hand to massage my forehead, Ashton wakes up. He looks at me and a smile stretched its way across his lips "Maya." He looks very delighted to see me. He stands up and kisses my forehead. "How are you feeling?" He asked but doesn’t allow me to respond to the question. "I will go get the nurse.""No wait, Ashton." I halted his actions "Why am I here?" My voice came out low, it sounded barely above a whisper. Ashton looks like he is about to speak but before he could, I said "And why are you here?" I remember him saying that he won’t be around for a day. I am surprised that he is back so early or is he? Has it been a day?
I pushed the door again and to my surprise, it opened. I didn’t even try that hard. "Let’s go, Dad," I said. We were about to walk out of the room when we suddenly came face to face with Narya. My face falls as our eyes met. I never actually liked her but now I feel more hated towards her. "What a surprise, you found your old man." She said with a smile on her face. Why the hell is she even smiling? I was about to throw a remark on that when she effortlessly pushes my dad to the ground. "Dad." I gasped as I reach to help him. "Are you okay?" I embraced him. I check his arm to see if he is injured and thankfully, he isn’t. Turning my gaze to her, I begin my rant. I have been waiting to give her a piece of my mind the moment I saw my dad tied up here "You witch! How dare you push him." I push her to the wall. She always says I don’t have the strength of a Luna but now I will show her that I may not have the strength of a Luna but I do have the strength to hurt her. I will make her s
My jaw dropped and my eyes flickered open in shock. "Dad," I said as a single tear rolled down my cheeks. I can not believe this, the man sitting in front of me is my father. Tears streamed down my face and I looked at him to see a hint of confusion in his eyes. I don’t think he recognizes me. I take a step closer to him and I knelt next to him "You’re my father." I said; my voice very low. I reach to gently palm his face with my hand but he instantly wince away, shaking his head. Is he scared of me? "Dad, I-" I broke into tears. I don’t know what to say, I never expected to see him again. It’s been eleven years- eleven goddam years since I’ve seen him and now he’s here sitting In front of me- my dad is here. Hot tears streamed down my face as I hold his hand in mine. I gently squeeze his hand, my eyes shut as tears continue to stream down my face. I am never letting go of his hands, this feels like a dream to me. My father is sitting in front of me.I gently open my eyes and as my
I kept to where I stood until I heard no more noise of her heels clicking on the floor. I peeked my head to confirm that she is really gone before I gently pull the door open and walked into the store room. I made sure I closed the door quietly so she doesn’t hear a single noise. The second I realized she was about to turn around, I hid behind the shelf. I hold my breath as my heart lurched into my chest. I don’t want to make a single noise otherwise, I would be dead. It’s good that she just started liking me, but once she sees me here, she will go back to hating me and I will be dead meat. Speaking of dead meat, my heart starts to go a mile a minute as panic took over. I can not really comprehend why my heart is beating too fast, maybe it’s because I’m scared that she will see me or because I took immediate action. "Do you think she saw us?" Victoria asked me."I don’t think so," I respond "But what if she did?""If she did, she would have said something or even come to check," I
It’s late at night, and everywhere seems to be dark. I guess the lights aren’t on. I am standing in the middle of the hallway, I don’t know why and how I got here. I use my hand to feel the wall trying to find the light switch, as I did, I reach to turn it off when I heard the clicking noise of a heel. I think someone is coming. I turn my gaze to the direction I heard the sound. It’s dark and I can not see who it is. I furrowed my brows as I saw a silhouette just moving around in the dark but when I moved my head to get a clear view. I noticed it was Ashton’s mom. What is she doing here and why is she on heels in the middle of the night? She revealed herself through the darkness, I noticed she is holding a plate that contains raw onions and plain white rice. I wonder why.I was about to speak to her but my words caught in my throat when she walked past me almost like she didn’t see me. That was strange. What is going on with her?Walking straight to the storeroom. She stopped at t
~ NARYA’S POV (ASHTON’S MOM)God! I hate pretending, I just hate to behave differently because of someone; someone undeserving. I shouldn’t even be pretending, that stupid girl isn’t worth it at all. She is worthless, I just don’t know what Ashton sees in her, she is not pretty, she’s not smart, she is nothing, she’s not even able of doing anything not to mention she’s not the kind of Luna this town deserves. I wish I could just rip her skull out and kill her right away so all this will come to an end but I can’t, at least not right now but maybe someday. Right now, I need her because she’s my only key to my son. I can only convince him that she’s not the right person for him when I get him to trust me. Maya may be a nice person but despise her.I despise her even more than I despise her mother. Maya is exactly like her mother, stupid, useless, and of course not worthy of being the Luna. Sometimes when I think of Maya, I feel like she’s worse than her mother. At least her mother was
