It was like a bomb exploded in front of our faces. Celestine hurriedly down the pack while I was left alone in here, I wanted to run too. I wanted to see her, but my legs won’t let me. Until I just found myself lying on the floor as I stare at the pack and a group of Alpha Priam’s men who carries lifeless bodies. My heart wrenched at the sight, and my body was getting numb.Cries… Agony. The night was filled with it, while I’m here helpless, and can’t do a thing, rather let the tears freely cascade down my cheeks.I still remember how Rosa helps me, how she let me escape this cruel faith of mine. The last time we see each other was when we were in a car that was supposed to be Chantal’s day of the abduction. She let me borrow her identity and live the life that she’s been dreaming of. I stole the time from her, and it’s frustrating to think that she wasn’t able to do what she wants because of me.I closed my eyes, I felt like I lost a mother. It was tormenting.Until sunrise, I didn’t
Brittany. ‘How on earth?’“Let’s go Chandria,” Celestine uttered, and Falcon carried me out of the room.As our eyes met, there was nothing but…Hatred.“Leave us alone, Falcon. I’ll take care of her, thank you.” Celestine gently helps me stand after Falcon put me down.To my shock, I didn’t notice that we were in my room already.“Chandria, you should’ve fought,” Celestine commented as long as I was able to sit on the mattress. She started removing the bandage on me, as it was tainted by blood already.“Calista has been always a war freak since she was a kid and….”“Rosa has a daughter?” I asked cutting her off. She stops what her doing and looks me in the eyes. She heaved a deep sigh and smiled a bit, “Yeah. She said, she throws her out in the human world so she would have a different destiny. She even told me that she was gaining all her strength and courage to meet her and tell her that she’s mother…”That’s the reason why she was prepared to live in the city.“But…”“It didn’t ha
“No, it was my mother’s real name, right? Should I call you Chandria then?” Britanny’s voice mixed with the sound of the rain drop on the ground, and this time I met her gaze.“It was your fault, I wasn’t able to see my mom alive, because of you.” She continued, and walk towards me. The black heels she is wearing made her more look dominating at this moment with me kneeling on the floor.“I wanted to slap you so hard. I wanted to strangle your hair...”“Then do it…” I cut her off.“If that would ease the pain, then do it,” I added, I understand her. She needs someone who’ll take all her pain, and if that would be me, then that would be better. I hope, at least.“No, I want you to bring all the guilt in those hearts of yours. I won’t lay you a finger, rather I’ll make you remember day by day that you are the reason why a daughter who yearns for her mother’s touch for years will never be able to experience a such dream.” Despite the water that was flowing on our faces, I saw how her te
Three days had passed, and we could still feel the grief in the pack. After I collapsed in front of Rosa’s grave, I woke up on my bed already. Celestine told me that it was Falcon who brought me to my room. “Chandria, are you sure that your leg doesn’t hurt anymore?” Celestine asked with her worried face as usual. “Of course, don’t worry about me Celestine. Have you forgotten that my doctor is beautiful and great?” I shot back. “Silly, I was just wondering, it’s only been three days…” “I’m fine, Celestine. Really,” I smiled genuinely, and hoping it would work this time. “The sun is getting hotter; we should leave now.” I reminded her. She heaved a sigh before giving me a nod. “Alright, if your legs started to cramp, just tell me, okay?”After jailing myself inside of my room for three days, I decided to go out with Celestine, and come with her to the public market. “Here, cover yourself.” She handed me a thin cloth, wide enough to cover my face. “Who knows, someone from the Si
Alpha Priam was standing on a veranda with a glass of wine in his hand, when he felt someone’s presence behind him, he knew it was Bryant. “What happened to Rosa?” He asked, three days had passed, and he let his pack peacefully mourn for his death, but he won’t let this pass. “Alpha Primo found out the moment we released Luna Chantal. Rosa even called Luna’s parents whom the Alpha find suspicious.” Bryant replied. “I didn’t think he would have such a brain.” Alpha Priam replied and sipped on his wine. “He killed Rosa in front of everyone, by ripping…her throat out.” Bryant continued. “Are they still set to attack us?” The Alpha asked despite the anger built inside him with how horrendous the woman has been killed. “According to our ally, it has been postponed. The former Alpha Nickolaus and Luna Chandra of the Silver Mist don’t have any travel within this month. They’ll be staying to take care of Luna Chantal.” The Alpha's scarlet eyes glimmered as the sunlight hit them, no emo
‘There’s an idea that knocking in front of his chest but unfortunately, he can’t entertain it, his mind cannot.’ Until his eyes settled on the woman carrying a bunch of paper bags among the crowds, and the Alpha of the Silver Mist pack, Primo from a few distant. His reflexes oblige with how his heart tells him to do so. “So who would be the lucky girl tonight that we will serenade huh?”“Here! My friend is interested, here!” It was Britanny’s voice, and it didn’t take him a minute to process what was going to happen next. Good thing he came on time, he grabbed Chandria’s hand before Britanny could even show the public the woman’s face, Chandria was surprised to meet the Alpha’s scarlet eyes who grabbed her hand. It was unexpected, yet there was an unfamiliar sensation within her when their skin touched. Alpha Priam pulled her against his chest. The crowd became silent, and they quickly took the spotlight. Alpha Priam made sure that Chandria’s face was slumped over his chest good en
“I-I’m fine.” Finally, I dared to speak.“Really? Your wound seemed about to open up any moment now.” He shot back coldly and finally stops massaging my legs when he seemed satisfied already, but I was surprised when I thought he was done.He held the tip of his shirt, and my eyes widened when he started pulling it apart, getting a bandage-like of its tip.“Y-You don’t have to do that, I could go back…”“Shut up.” He cut me off and put on his cloth on top of my wound, putting pressure on it. The pain slowly dies, and when he stands up, awkwardness slowly builds between the two of us.“Thank you.” I managed to say.“You don’t have to…”“For letting go of Chantal.” I didn’t know where I got the courage to cut his words, but I think this is the right opportunity.“For saving me back then in Chicago. And earlier back in the shopping store, I know you’re aware that Alpha Primo was just around.” I continued and managed to meet his scarlet eyes. Nothing changed with his dominating aura, it s
In the Silver Mist pack, Alpha Primo was having his dinner in his office while his eyes were settled on the monitor of his laptop. He still can’t accept that Alpha Priam ruined his plans to attack humans, yet he’s also wondering who the woman he hugged during that time was.He was aware that the Black Stygian pack doesn’t have any Luna so he was curious if that woman would be the next Luna of his pack or the Alpha’s apple of the eye. An evil plan suddenly popped up inside his head, maybe if I could kill Alpha’s beloved then he would surrender his pack, or he will start the war without much thinking. That will lead to their defeat, and the Silver Mist pack will remain the one standing in the end.A couple of knocks break and take him back to reality.Clearing his throat, he uttered, “come in.”It was Arthur who entered his office.“Alpha…” Arthur was wearing his coat, that makes him superior above any other puppet of the Alpha. His hair was fix and firm, and his face was always in a po
