I fall sick at heart, agony rattling around my being as they zip past, ganging up on Olyver. The piercing cry of shriek and terror plunges into the air as I shut my eyes…the pain and grief eating away at me faster that a lethal poison.‘Odelia….’ I feel so helpless, seeing Hogan approach us…crouching next to his mate who’s struggling to hold on for him.I feel so guilty…If I hadn’t been so obstinately bent on coming here…if I had obediently stayed back like Weslee did…this tragedy wouldn’t have happened. I feel so ashamed to even look at Hogan, guilt suffocating me as I begin to back away…I’m so sorry..I’m so sorry.Something stops me from digressing any further and I turn to see Hex. At this point, I just wish I was the one who got hit and not her…how do I face them all after the disaster I’ve caused?’Heather…hey, look at me…it’s not your fault. Please don’t blame yourself…Heather’Everyone will say it’s not your fault, trying to make the guilt go away but…this will never change
“The undisputed king of the Black Night Wolf Clan…” The white wolf alpha growls with cold reverence as he glares towards Talon who isn’t making a move yet, as if he’s taking in the new comers and trying to decipher according to his own sentiments what side they’re on. Friend or foe?‘W-what’s going on?’ Mustering the energy to link my mate and he snaps right in my direction, catching my gaze and getting alarmed to see the state I’m in. I try on a weak smile and look to my side to see a very tall woman, dressed in the same clothes as that white wolf and coming towards me.She crouches next to me, a beautiful smile on her face as she takes off her cloak and drape it over my nakedness. I blush and lower my head and she speaks, “It seems you’re his Luna, my cousin that is”.“Y-your cousin?” I look at her with wide eyes, noticing Silver’s running over as well. She glances at him and back at me, nodding, “His mother, Teresa, was my father’s younger sister. She was such a kind and lovin
‘Isn’t there a way to still rouse her up so she can at least communicate with her mate?’ Alpha Marcus asks and is replied by the alpha, “We will count on a minute. That’s the only opening we get to rouse her up and get the task done. The pressure on her soul is immense, we cannot afford to keep waking her from that necessary slumber”.He’s speaking in things I don’t understand again. I fall back, watching them charge towards Talon who sends Hector and Hex flying and colliding into Silver as they fall into a roll. He then sees them from the rear and he turns, ready to attack when the white wolf and Uncle Gabriel both combine a barrage of attacks into his side and kick him away from where mom lies.Talon remains resilient, refusing to be pushed over, baring his dentition ferociously and making a leap, descending with his head first. The white wolf leaps too, their heads colliding in a massive headbutt.'What the hell...' I blink, reluctant to believe they're both still agile after tha
A large hand comes over my back and begins to rub gently. “You know, when you keep breaking down like this, you make it hard for us to watch you. We decided we wouldn’t cry anymore and hold it up in our hearts instead…to honor her and remember her for as long as we live…” Harrison begins to say in a soft voice.“…so can’t you do us just this little favor and not cry like this?” I gently begin to detach my face from my palms and see Harlow with a painful look on his face and my breath catches. I lower my hands, bringing them down to my thighs in fists. Sniffing, “I’m sorry. I won’t cry anymore…I promise”. I’m sorry I’m still a child and still so weak. There’s still so much I have to prepare for and so much to learn. I couldn’t be useful this time…but I won’t give up.“About what I said that night, I didn’t mean to say those hurtful words and hurt your feelings like that. I was insensitive and selfishly caught up in my own spurt, I’m sorry” I keep my gaze on my fists, glad I came o
“I’m done packing up!- Zach come help me out will you?” Ugh, why do I have so much to drag down? I frown and put my hands akimbo, staring at my luggage when my bedroom door comes open and a nineteen year-old Zachery steps in, chuckling into his fist when he sees my things.“Don’t let that laughter sip out. Help me get this down” I order and pick up my phone from my table as I join him to take them all down. Before I knew it, six years already sped by. A lot has happened, the family especially became much larger than it was back then. Harrison’s boys are as disastrous as he was and love to raise trouble all the time. Even the last of them who's only a year old, already knows how to manipulate the adults around him.Harlow has a son and a daughter, full of mischief but are quite cool. The girl loves to get into fights…must have inherited a little of me there.“Auntie you’re leaving already? When will you come visit us again?” Little Abby asks me, tugging against the leg of my jeans
“Where did you find her?” A gruff cold voice spoke stringently. The man was irritated and impatient as he looked chagrined at the cell.“Somewhere far from home…she fell right into the trap laid out for a bait” The other man, who was grinning with mischief replied as he gripped the cold bars of the cell.“Way far…from home” His voice was sardonic and his face darkened by the evil thoughts that he was inviting into his mind.“You…get it fed. We set off at the first light of dawn” The older man spoke authoritatively and stepped aside, walking past the younger to exit the dark and acrid underground cell.The younger man pulled back, his wicked grin retreating to reveal a void mask as his gaze hovered over the one behind the cell bars.“I will take you to your new home. Get enough rest” And he too left the place, allowing the dead silence that pervaded the creepy cells to
She halted suddenly, the tray in her hands rattling softly from her solid grip and her eyes expanded to its full width.“…the child seems to possess the same traits as its mother. He will be useful, like she’s been to us”.It was his voice and who was he talking to about her son? It made her unrest resurface with an even greater force when she heard the next lines that followed.“And once we’ve successfully completed it, their powers shall belong to us while we lay them to waste”. Malignant laughter issued after that and her heart shattered into a million pieces.She accidentally dropped the tray and fled from fright. She knew they had heard and would know she had eavesdropped. But that wasn’t the focus of her concern.She needed to get her son and flee immediately.The four year old was alone in the room he owned, playing with glass-like figurines his mother had carved for him when she sudden
Heather’s POV.“Do you have to leave tomorrow?” My little brother, Weslee asks as he pokes his head out from beneath my blanket.I ruffle his black hair with a faint smile and nod, “Hm, but I’ll always visit. Mom wouldn’t let me miss on that”.He comes out of the blanket and sits on his heels, a sad pouty look coloring his cute face. Ugh! It’s the puppy eyes again.“Darlings! It’s dinner time!” Mom’s holler saves me from the hypnosis and I jump off the bed. “Lee lets head down or those rowdy brothers of ours will eat our share”.The kid runs out first and I dash in pursuit. When we get there, the dining table is packed and Harrison is about to drop my meatball into his gaping mouth.“Oh you wouldn’t dare!” I speed towards him and knock the fork down. He grins at me and I shake my head sideways.“Mom, Harry’s
