Umbrie stayed with Daphne till the next day. Even her parents missed her and waited anxiously for her to come home. She left when Mrs Vincent came to the hospital. Jared would have come but he had to work so he only called Daphne and promised to come in the afternoon. As soon as she got home, her little brother Sky came running to hug her. Umbrie was more excited to see him, especially after helping heal her best friend. The boy is young but so special, not everyone knows this. "Sky! I'm so glad to see you!" Umbrie exclaimed raising him up. "Wow you're so big, it feels like I have been gone for years." Sky smiled showing his bright teeth, "I missed you Umbrie. I saw you on TV, I was cheering for you but you could not hear it." "Of course not. How is she supposed to hear you if she is that far away? At least, she is back home now. We should celebrate her win." Mrs Wynn said coming towards them. Umbrie laughed, "Thank you mom. At least you said nice things, Jared has been mean to m
"What the f**k?" Umbrie exclaimed seeing the person who would instruct them today at the training. Today is her first day at the training and she was a bit excited. Kieran motivated her to do her best and things would be easy for her. That's what she thought until she got there and found out the person training her is none other than Louis.She and a few other kids are here assigned to Louis the warrior. She got so unlucky to have Louis who used to be a rogue as her trainer. She hadn't seen Louis since that time she told him to leave her alone and he left sadly. Now they are here together. "Umm... Hi." She waved at him. He ignored her, "Stand well. Your training is starting now. You must make sure you do well or things won't be good for you.""Is that a threat?" She asked him. All the others looked at Umbrie as she is the only one bold enough to talk to the chief trainer. She did not care, he will still be Louis to her. "Call it whatever you want. You will do what I ask or I won
Daphne is supposed to be discharged from the hospital soon. Her stepmother and William went to see the doctor. Some people have been watching them since and waiting for them to leave. Those persons are Tiana and her friends. They wanted to use the opportunity to quickly see Daphne and apologize before Mrs Vincent and William come back. Their parents have asked them to apologize as soon as possible or face the consequences. They already have enough punishment as it is, they thought. "What do we do? I'm afraid to go in. What if she calls the cops on us again?" Emma asked quietly. I'm"Let us wait till those people leave. I will go in first and you guys can come in later." Tiana assured them. "What if she doesn't want to see us? What if she doesn't forgive us? What do we do then? We can't let her stepmother see us, she might call the police thinking we came here to bother her daughter." Alice said unsure. "Just leave everything to me. I got you guys into this mess and I will get you o
The next day, Umbrie went for the training. She was more prepared to prove Louis wrong about her. She got there thirty minutes earlier than everyone else. She trained alone not caring if the others would come or not. Louis met her training alone, he smiled on seeing her. She was too busy to perceive or notice anything. When she turned to take some water, she saw him staring at her. She rolled her eyes and turned to leave without saying anything. He stopped in front of her, looking at her with pitiful eyes. "What do you want now commander sir?" Umbrie asked in a mocking tone. Louis sighed, "I know you are mad at me. I am completely sorry for what I did to you yesterday. Nothing I say now would justify my actions because I was terrible." "What do you want me to do now? You already did what you wanted. Please leave me alone, I am trying to train like you wanted as you can see." She tried to move again but he stopped her. "Don't leave Umbrie. I am truly sorry. I already reconciled wi
Watching the moonlight together on a bench, Umbrie and Kieran held hands in silence. Each have different thoughts going through their minds. Looking at how crazy, exciting and boring life has been for them in the past few weeks, they could only wonder how they didn't see it coming. "The moon goddess has been doing this to us all this while, why didn't we see it earlier?" Kieran asked her after a moment of silence. "I know, that is what I was thinking too. We used to argue a lot and didn't have understanding. Then all of a sudden, we crave for each other badly. She must have done this because we won't stop fighting every time." Umbrie replied. "This must be the curse placed on mates who are meant to be no matter what. You won't stop arguing with me at every given chance, that's why she made us inseparable." "I hate you." Umbrie rolled her eyes, "It's your fault that this is happening to us.""You mean you love me." She glared at him, "Cause I do a lot. I love you Umbrie." Umbrie's
"Waste another second and you will be walking to school. I will make sure of that." Jared threatened fisting his car keys in his hand before storming out of the house. I rolled my eyes as I quietly uttered a snort. He glared at me.Oops, I must have forgotten that he was a wolf. All thanks to his enhanced hearing.I was ecstatic about the new term that was starting today. It felt good to know that soon, I would be done with highschool.Another new term meant I was another step closer to freedom. Freedom of being able to train as an older warrior in the pack.I wasn't allowed to train yet since it would affect my schooling and focus.My parents were born into the pack but they wanted my siblings and I to grow up as human and act less werewolf.It was tough mixing the werewolves pack with modern day. Things that made us seem so divided but I was proud of who I was and so was the other young few werewolves in my school.
I adjusted and readjusted on the seat. I was suddenly not comfortable. I felt like a prey under his gaze.Well, don't bother to ask... Him... He is staring at the back of my neck.How did I know?I just know!Class went on and on with my chest heaving slowly.Can't wait to leave this class.The bell soon rang.Oh, thank you moon goddess.I hurriedly picked my books and that was when I realized Daphne's eyes on me. "Are you okay?" She asked worriedly and my lips curved into a lopsided smile. I could not bear to cast a glance at him even though I was facing him."Yes, what about we go grab some lunch?" I asked her and she nodded her head.I practically sprinted out of the class even though I tried walking but his preying eyes did something to my legs.Daphne and I walked to the cafeteria together and we were using the opportunity to know ours
Daphne needed extra study help so I invited her to join the study group I belonged to. Our teacher divided us and often gave us curriculums to read about in order for the success of our exams.It felt good hanging out with them again after the school breaks we've encountered.I called on Jared to come drive us to the cafe where we spent most of our reading hours.We waited at the school entrance for a long time and finally, he pulled up in his white Corolla vehicle looking all sweaty in his basketball shorts.Jared was yet to study further after highschool and just spent his free time doing the things he loved. I badly wanted to be him soon."Get in quick." Jared said. Him and cocky behaviour.I scoffed and entered the back seat, staying together with my newest friend, Daphne who did not seem to notice my brother's behaviour. She seemed really sweet and reserved but what surprises me about her was the

"I miss you baby. You should consider me please." Kieran pleaded on the phone with Umbrie. Umbrie is staying at the hospital to keep watch on Daphne. But it feels like she's so far away from him. He already craves for her badly, he is going crazy over her. Though the same could be said for Umbrie, she still felt the need to stay with her friend at this time. "Don't make me talk too much, sweetie. My friend is asleep. Can't you see she needs someone to stay with her? Besides her stepmother went somewhere and Jared is busy, I offered to stay with her already." Umbrie scolded him. He shrugged, though she could not see him. "I tried. I knew you wouldn't change your mind unless you see me lying down on the hospital bed." This statement got Umbrie a bit worried about him. "Don't you dare do anything stupid! Remember we can't stay in the human hospital like that. We would be found out!" He laughed, "You're so cute. I can imagine your face right now. Come on, I won't do anything to get
Umbrie took the next available flight back to Ice Valley the next day, very early. She got there after a few hours and met Kieran waiting to pick her up. She ran towards him and jumped on him, they caught the attention of people around the airport. "Baby, I missed you so much. I almost took a flight over because I thought you were taking too long." Kieran said embracing her tight. She smiled, "You can't be serious. How are we going to see each other then? I missed you too but you know why I came early." He pouted, "You're not going to spend time with me? What about me? I also need to be cared for."She scoffed, "Don't be silly Kieran. You know how much she means to me. You two are very important, but right now she needs me. Let me see her first, then we will have time for us later." He sighed, understanding her and knowing he's just being too selfish. Umbrie needs to see her best friend, he would probably do the same if it happened to his friend. Not that he has much friends thoug
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES • THE BIG COMPETITION DAY •Umbrie and the rest studied well for the competition. They are going to have it today. They are well prepared to support Umbrie while she answers the questions. Of course, they would all work together while Umbrie would represent them. This made Umbrie nervous as she has isn't that big with the crowd focusing on her.They got there on time and the competition took off. It went on for a few hours as many schools got eliminated. But Umbrie and her classmates made it to the finals. It was tough, as there was another school chasing them in scores.Everyone anticipated there would be a tie between the two schools during the finals. While the others were below them, they had a tie at the finals so the first and second person could not be decided yet. This made Umbrie and her friends work harder, Umbrie was happy enough they made it to the finals.This alone should make her parents proud of her. It is being broadcasted at a news c
Jared stopped at Tiana's house. Then he called her to meet him outside. He only waited a few minutes before she burst out the door happily. She looked happy that Jared came to see her. She did not think about why he must have come, she thought he's just here to get back together."Wow. You're here to see me already?" She said excited, she tried hugging him but he stopped her."Really Tiana? You're asking me that? Is this why you did that to Daphne? You think that would make me come to you because I am so scared you and your friends would beat her up again?"Tiana was taken aback by his sudden outburst. She saw how his eyes changed colour and how angry he is. She moved back, scared and thinking he might hurt her."Why are you looking at me like that? I did nothing wrong! She deserves it! She just came out of nowhere to take you away from me! You think it is that easy for me to let you go??!" Tiana yelled, knowing she got caught already.Jared could not believe the level of evil in her.
