“Hand over the phone to me.” Angus instructed me, as he walked into the sitting room. “He just cut the call.” I said, sighting Angus immediately as he entered. “Honey, you are back.” “Yes, dear.” Angus replied, a kind of eagerness wrapping his voice. “But, you should have sent Lachie to reach me. I wasn't far from you guys. I would have preferred to speak with him.” “Honey, is he the same Caelum?” I asked Angus, hoping to hear a negative response from him. Perhaps Angus would say no, I didn't know. “Yes,” Angus replied, suddenly bursting into an uncontrollable laughter. “Caelum is a repentant wolf.” “How?” I asked. “Can you ever believe Caelum is your brother, and that he is ready to give up on Alpha Thane now?” Angus voiced, ticking his teeth on the tongue to emphasise the wonder. “I have actually found out many secrets about him and Thane Thomas, as well.”“Unending secrets amuse me, but…” I interposed, wiping my face with a handkerchief. “Turn the fan back on.” Angus blurted
“Don't utter a word.” I heard from a distance, my eardrums pumping in amazement. Lachie had already fallen asleep, so I had to lay him in a cot and place him in the underground room, reserving the thought that it was very risky.It was Angus's voice I heard, and I flinched, moving from a direction to another. In no time, I saw a sudden appearance of something like a phantom, becoming clearer according to the tick of the clock. “Wait…” I muttered to myself, a sigh following immediately. “Don't be afraid.” My ghost mother said, her eyes consciously blinked at me. “I have come with a good news.” “What is it?” I asked her, turning my head towards her, my mind calmed by her presence. “It is time to take revenge.” My ghost mother revealed, holding a piece of stick up in the air. “Mom, on who?” I asked her curiously, raising my eyebrows. “Do you mean Alpha Thane's pack?” “Not really on his pack.” My ghost mother whispered in return. “I have now been empowered to join you in the fight.”
Exactly one and a half week later, close to when my ghost mother said Alpha Thane would be weakened, I noticed strange things happening. I heard the news late, but it was still ongoing and waa deeply affecting the Thane Wrest pack. “I thought you knew earlier.” Angus said to me, as he gulped up hot tea in a glass. “I would have told you. I'm not sure you are even aware of Mary's final disconnection with the Thane Wrest pack.”“Mary…?” I asked, out of sheer amazement at Angus's words. “How is she connected with the pack before now?” “Take a sip first.” Angus requested, passing the glass cup to me. “Okay.” I answered him, my mouth sweeping everything in the cup. “Oh, you added sugar, honey?” “Yes.” Angus replied, smiling. “How did you know?” “Don't I have a tongue?” I blurted in return, my voice lowered at a strange buzzing sound. “Honey, be careful.” Angus cautioned, his eyes clearly fixed at me, as he turned backwards and opened his both hands right away. “Watch out for those b
Angus woke up the following day, raising his voice as if he was trying to threaten me. But, as I yawned and cleared my face, I saw some kind of affection written clearly on his face. “Honey, stop it!” I shot back, as Angus began to pull off my shirt. “Why should I not have control on what I own?” Angus questioned, his tongue coming out instantly. Lachie was right beside me, winking at Angus and I notice him. I said to him, “will you go to the sitting room in the meantime, baby boy?” “What are you planning to do, mom?” Lachie asked curiously. “I am not to be left out…” “Don't worry.” I said, patting Lachie as he left, dashing to the sitting room. Before I could raise my head, the volume of the TV was high, reverberating in my eardrums. “Ellie, that was wise of you.” Angus expressed his feelings. “Don't sweat it, my love.” I replied firmly, my voice resulting into a whisper, as I was already greeting aroused with him. I wasn't feeling well, right at that moment, but I didn't le
The wolves in our territory were deep asleep, while the watchmen amongst them kept watching as the night came. I wasn't asleep.Ronan was around, and he joined the watchmen outside. I was staring at the window, hoping to capture at least a glimpse of what might happen. “Hmm.” I breathed, my hands reaching my lips immediately. I didn't want to make a noise at all, but to just watch. Suddenly, I heard the noise of footsteps and my ears were equally filled up. I covered my ears tightly with my hands, as I drew the curtain down again. There was perfect silence in no time, and I was shocked. How it happened led to nothing but absolute amazement and I was even about to wake Angus up, when the noise erupted again, sounding even more loudly this time. I had no choice than to do what I had in mind, “Angus…” I called his name, tapping him very hard. “Stand up, sweetheart!” “Huh…” Angus’s breath made me take my both hands off him as I allowed those hands to hover round about his eyes, aimin
"Gwah!!!" The noise scared me, almost dashing me to the wall. I had to be looking around to see where it came from, but I couldn't trace it. I had just walked out of the house. As usual, the breeze that blew from the external adamant wind was too much for me to endure. Whenever it was that stormy, I would have to close the partially tight window behind me. It was getting darker. The wind suddenly stopped blowing, giving a chance for an unannounced calm. I didn't notice at first, until I took my hands off her ears, and remained outside. Arleta wasn't a place to live without being hyperactive. The nearby snowy mountains were numerous, though the forests covered most part of that land. It was often haunted by the snarling wolves, who paid visits and always were on a mission. My eyes cleared off. My nose began to disturb me, and I released a sneeze. I didn't know if going back in was the right option. Suddenly, I heard a sound. It echoed above me, but there was no high place, which w
My past dawned on me, enveloping me with solitude. My eyes were deeply closed, as those stories travelled into my senses with clear but unseen flashes. "What keeps worrying you?" Angus's voice rang loudly in my ears, suddenly driving me back to my consciousness. "It's a long story, Angus." I returned."What is it, darling?" Angus responded, squatting beside me. "You can't relate." I said."I'm going out hunting, Ellie." Angus said, his voice light but clear. He stood up and smiled, as he made to leave. "I'll be right back. Please, forget whatever hurtful memories." I was surprised Angus didn't force me to say what was going on in my mind. I was left to feel the glaring memories alone. The voice of those fierce beasts reverberated in my ears. I could clearly recall how they tore my only mother to pieces. Why I was made into such a world, I didn't know. Left to endure the sleepless nights and escape the wolves' teeth. "Huh!" I sighed, my breath coming out as someone ready to poun
The sound of the breeze swept the entire atmosphere of Arleta, echoing and ringing continuously in our ears, until it woke both of us up, at the same time. Arleta could contain a vast number of beings, but would harm or disturb whoever wouldn't adapt to the cold, snowy and entirely strange nature of the land. I yawned and realised my hands had been on Angus's chest, all through the night. I began to wonder if he had demanded love from me last night. Angus acted as a friend. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me. I could see the way he had been treating me, treating me as his sister. But, I wasn't comfortable yet. "Huh!" I sighed, taking my hands off. I smiled at him and received the same smile. "Ellie?" Angus called, his voice enamoring me, but I wouldn't just give in easily. "Have you recalled what you did last night?" "What's that?" I asked him, my hands raised up to my lips as I tried to hold a yawn. "You kept mute for a long while…" Angus answered me and continued, "I almost t

Meeting my mate and my handsome boy as well, Lachie, made me glad again. I was already dreaming about a happy home of ours. It was as if I had transcended to an unknown world, when days passed over days with mirth filling the atmosphere of each of them. I was excited to see that everything went on well in the new pack Angus was building up. My face twisted at the sudden disconnection of the power which had already revived the electronic appliances Angus bought in the new house. It was a great moment of enjoying modern ways of life, and so the power supply made the house a very active one. “What's wrong, mom?” Lachie asked me, speaking gently with a soft voice of his. “The power had an issue,” I replied to him, holding a part of his smooth chin. “So, the electric cables have to be sorted out, soon.”“Okay.” Lachie answered me. I never expected another life to be, apart from the times I enjoyed together with Angus, even though we often did it in that dangerous zone called Arleta.S
As the light almost disappeared completely, I pierced my hands into it and landed on a tarred floor. I made it, but looking for Angus was another mountain to crush. I didn't feel free with the passers-by immediately. I only kept ogling at them as if I desired something big from them. Before I could drift my head to check another direction for Angus, someone tapped me at my back. It was Ronan.“Hey, Ellie!” Ronan exclaimed, his voice coming with an echo of excitement. “I have been waiting for you. I am happy you scaled through.” “Angus and…” I stuttured, my hands down since I didn't know what to reply with. “Lachie, right?” Ronan questioned me, nearly making me want to hug him. I was hoping he would say he had found Lachie, so I was sighing repeatedly. “Are you fine?” “Yes, I am.” I replied. “Have you found Lachie?” “I have.” Ronan responded, exhilarating me instantlyI jumped up in amazement and mirth, and grabbed Ronan's hands, so we could go and see my baby boy. Ronan was alr
“Ellie!” Angus exclaimed, his voice suddenly arousing a gasp from me. I turned around to see where he was speaking from, but I was shocked at what I found out. The clouds were wrapped with darkness but the ground was clear, illuminated by a strange light which hid amidst the sky. I was baffled at this and almost thought I was in another trouble. I left my position, trying to find Angus's whereabouts. As I turned my head to a side where I thought less of, I saw Angus’s feet right at the tip of the roof and I was taken aback. “What are you trying to do?” I asked, blinking my eyes as I secretly dropped a Whiskey bottle into my bag. “Nothing much.” Angus replied, shaking his head to be calmed from his fatigue. He was sweating profusely, but I noticed he didn't care more than save me by quickly drawing me to himself. “But, is there a bird you're aiming at?” I asked him another question, my arms crossing into each other very slowly. “When did you start hunting for birds, Angus?” “Stop
The door kept dangling at a slow pace until a gusty window came blowing from an unknown direction, making the entire building shake. My sleep was cut short by the rumble, so I tried to change my position. As soon as I lifted my eyes up, I realised everywhere was dark, darker than the night. I recalled that the night had already elapsed and even midnight had passed. But, the wind was now casting another dark cloud over the atmosphere. By my side was Angus, his face beautified with something like a smile, still asleep though. I was shocked, but since he wasn't awake yet, I quickly decided to summon my ghost mother. “What's this?” I said to myself, grumbling as though someone was actively listening to me. “You can actually tell with time.” My ghost mother's voice interrupted me, scaring me. “Let me know when exactly you've been here.” “I can't remember, mother!” I voiced back, shaking my head. “The pain is more than what I can endure…” “But, I passed through it too.” My ghost moth
