CLAIRE It was the weekend -the time of the week to not have anything tangible to do. The cafe was closed throughout the day since we barely had customers during the week. This made Annie decide to close the door for the weekend. From the moment I woke up that morning, I did all that I could. I cleaned my room, made my bed, read a book, and literally everything else that I could think of doing. Still, it wasn't so long until I began to feel bored. Not wanting to disturb Alex over such a childish thing, I decided to stroll around. After almost an hour, there wasn't anywhere to stroll to again, leaving me no choice but to go and see Alex despite not wanting to disturb him.As I walked down to the corridor that led to his room, pictures that were hung around the place caught my interest, and I spent about ten minutes admiring them. I saw one that belonged to the family. It has Luna Lisa and her husband and Nathaniel. Even Kieran was in the picture. The boys were still young, and they al
ALEXAKIS "Thank you for the breakfast," I said to Luna Lisa the moment I was done eating. I got up from where I sat and wanted to leave, not wanting to be anywhere around Nathaniel for the time being, but Luna Lisa's voice stopped me."If it is okay with you, Alex, can I have a word?" She asked me.A word? With me? I looked at her and she nodded her head."Sure," I answered her. But I wasn't sure if I should have said yes or no. If Nathaniel was to come in and see us together, he might start another of his tyrant acts. At the point where I was, I was not sure that I would be able to just quietly endure the whole thing."Come, let's go to the garden." She said to me. She got up from her seat and led the way to the place. I followed her at a slow pace, apprehensive about what she was going to talk about. Was she going to ask me to leave the pack because my stay was making Nathaniel uncomfortable? Or was she finally going to ask me to leave the position of the Alpha for the other man?
EVIEI sat on the couch in the living room, my hands on my system, typing away. I had been trying to search for the wolfman ever since I broke up with Scott. I needed to steal that man from Claire so that I would be happy once again. The plight I was going through at home just kept going from worse to worse, and I was already on my threshold. I needed something or someone to fill me with happiness. And right at the moment, the wolfman was my obsession, and I felt that he was the only one who could do the job. The only thing was, I couldn't find him on any of the social media handles no matter how hard I searched or even the keywords I used.I was so lost in what I was doing that I didn't realize that my mother was seated beside me until she bumped me gently on my arm with her elbow. I looked up and saw her looking at me with a smile."What are you busy with?' She asked me, the smile still on her face."Nothing," I said to her and closed the laptop immediately. I got up from where I sa
NATHANIEL I couldn't believe it. No, I refused to believe it.How could everything going on be like this for me? Was that how my life would come to an end abruptly because of a man who knew nothing about our pack? And everyone even had the enforrentry to behave as if I was overreacting. Yes, I was overreacting, but it was for my sake. I had given every of my existence to the pack and the people just because I thought that I was going to take over the pack in the future.If they were expecting me to sit still, then they were deceiving themselves. I was not going to sit still and watch as someone else stole what should have been mine by rights. Hence, the reason why I called the meeting for the Elders. If there was anyone who would be able to right the wrong I was facing, then it was them. They were the ones who determined who gets to be in the golden seat. Even if it was the wrong choice, as long as the Elders approved it, then the masses had no choice but to accept it."Elder Damon,
NATHANIEL/SCOTTWeaklings!That was the first word that came to my mind when I saw how the weak werewolf I wanted to make my host was with the way he trembled like a jellyfish out of the water. Of course, I didn't mind. Seeing his fear gave me joy that I couldn't exactly keep at bay no matter how hard I tried about it.After I possessed him and he lost consciousness, I erased whatever might remind him of his identity away from his head. Now, I owned the man body, soul, and spirit. "Hey, are you okay?" A woman asked me with concern in her voice. She moved closer to where I was on the floor and tapped me lightly on the shoulder. "Do you need me to call 911 for you, buddy?" She asked again.I opened my eyes suddenly, and she yelped, the phone she had in her hand thrown to the floor in her frightened moment. I looked at her with eyes that I knew were as dark as the abyss that she would soon be drawn into."Holy shit!" She yelled and turned to run away from me. My hands went to her neck
EVIEI looked up from the paper that I was staring at to look at the face of the man in front of me. I looked back at the paper again, then back at the man, and I nodded. I was sure that the drawing on the paper was the same as that of the face I was looking at.It turned out that the paper the man gave me was one that had the sketch of a man and a name and a place where he could be found. I followed the address and ended up at the bar. When I saw the same face coming out of the bar, I couldn’t believe how much luck had shone upon me."You are Nathaniel, right?" I asked again. The man looked at me strangely, and I realized that I had acted a bit out of place, seeing as I didn't bother to introduce myself to the man. I folded the piece of paper with me and smiled at the man. "Hi. My name is Evie," I said as a way of introduction.The man looked at me weirdly for a few seconds, then nodded at me curtly. I smiled as I took that to be the approval that I needed."You see, the thing is-""
CLAIRE I tapped the counter impatiently, post in my head while I waited for the coffee I was brewing to be done.Much as I didn't want to admit it, it was getting harder and harder to keep the thoughts of Alex out of my head. I couldn't help but think about us and how far we had progressed from the first time when we had just met each other. And these days? These days, we were moving from the friendship lane to that of something else. God in heaven, it felt like I was going to go mad if I didn't tell anyone about what was going on in my heart."Earth's to Claire!" Mrs. Annie said to me, startling the shit out of me. I jolted and sighed as I heard the machine ringing furiously. I slammed it shut and looked at the woman in front of me with an apologetic smile. "Where were you so lost?" She asked me. She didn't wait for an answer though. She picked up the coffee and made her way to the customer who ordered it.When she was done serving the man, she came back to me. I bit my lower lips a
NATHANIEL/SCOTT I was in the Morning Dew Pack now. It was easy and fun how everyone had bowed to me, thinking that I was the second son of their dead leader. I nearly laughed at how gullible the people were. But I couldn't blame them for their stupidity completely, I was someone to be loved after all. But that was beside the point. The point was that I had been making sure that ever since I came to the plan. I began my plan to make sure everything that I was planning fell into place. And thank Lucifer because I found the easy way to do that. I gave a wicked smile as I moved to a group of people who were standing together, gossiping so early in the morning. The moment they all saw me, they bowed their head in respect. I smiled at them and even held a hand over the shoulders of one of the men that were close to me."How is it going?" I asked them. They all shivered in my presence, and I smiled. I slapped another man across the chest in a playful mood. "Relax, everyone. I'm not going t
