Chantal was beyond my expectations now. Am I really hearing those words from my own twin sister? And she’s accusing me of being one of those human hunters? Does she really think that because they’ve abandoned me I’ll put the whole pack in danger like what happened?She’s ridiculous.“What? Are you telling us that your twin sister was behind the sudden attack by hunters?” Dad asked.“Aren’t you curious why those humans found our pack? And was able to barge in, without even any sweat?”“It was Chandria all along, mom, dad.”Tears started cascading down my cheeks. “Don’t believe her mom, dad,” I whispered. Even though they can’t hear it, there’s still a lot of hope that they’ll give me at least the benefit of the doubt.“Chandria almost killed the entire pack members, and even put your life and the Alpha’s at risk?” Mom asked unbelievably. As rage slowly filled her eyes, my shoulder fell off as I lost hope. Why do they trust Chantal so much? Aren’t they gonna ask her for any evidence to
Waking up as the sun struck my face, and the blue skies greeted me. I forced myself to stand as I tried to remember how I got here. It seemed like I was in the middle of nowhere.But then I remember them, Chantal, Alpha Primo, and my parents, who hated me to the core and who were hunting me to be punished. A bitter smile escaped my lips and I looked up again to suppress myself from crying. I should have known better, Chantal would never change, and it would be just a waste of tears. I've spent my whole life crying because of her.Tall green trees surrounded me, I don't know anymore if this is the right path to the Black Stygian pack. I have to be back before the time allowance that Priam gave me or else Celestine will be in danger.As I heard my stomach scream for a solid. that, I bit my lip and looked everywhere. Maybe there's something I could eat here. After all, I'm in the middle of the forest. My eyes then remained on the ripened mangoes on that tall tree. I swallowed the lump in
No words can describe how nervous I was. Until I saw a big gate within the vicinity. "I-I think we should get there!" I exclaimed as I consciously looked back. They were still chasing us. Though there's still a bit of distance between us. I can't say that we're safe already.My forehead creased as we neared the big gate. It automatically opened. That was cool, and I wasn't expecting that. A beautiful community greeted us. He stopped when we finally entered, but when I shifted my gaze to the back, the werewolves still followed us inside. What the hell? "H-Hey run still. They were here too!" But he didn't move. I got off of his back and was about to run when those five werewolves shifted to their human forms. My jaw dropped seeing their wide smirk at me like they were having too much fun. And when I glanced at the stranger I met, he was in his human form as well, with a small smile creeping out of his lips. "W-What's this?" I asked unbelievably. "Oh, I forgot to tell you that they
Tell me she's just lying. "T-That was a good joke," I commented and faked a laugh even though she didn't sound like one. "I wasn't joking, Chandria." "Come, I'll show you how excited they were all to meet you." Elysa gently held my arms and dragged me next to the transparent glass window." There I saw that everyone was dancing and having fun. I even saw Everett drinking and laughing with his men. "Was Everett really the Alpha of this pack?" It slipped out of my mouth quickly when it was supposed to be just a question in my mind. Though with how he plays with his men, he doesn't look like an Alpha with great authority to me. "Yeah, he is. He reminds me of his father, they treat us like we were on the same level." Elysa's voice brightened up, and when I glanced at her, her eyes were glimmering. "Alpha Everett was very kind, and he'd always choose peace over war, for the sake of his people." That was amazing indeed. Contrary to the Alpha, I knew who didn't seem to care about his
Alpha Everett gave me a blank stare before he shifted his gaze at the woman. As he made his way towards her, I dashed out of the spotlight to give them. There's no need for me to stay here anymore. I gave them one more glance before I left straight for the dark forest. I should head my way back to the Black Stygian Pack. I only had a few hours left for the two-day time limit that Priam gave me. I just hope he wasn't true to his words, and he didn't mean it that night. But what if he does? The tall grass touched my skin as I frisk inside, the huge trees were towering over me, blocking the light from the moon to give me a vision. This is hard. I should've waited for the daylight, but on second thought, I didn't want to return. As the cold wind blew, I hugged myself as I shivered. I was still wearing the white dress, and it was sleeveless, so I didn't have anything to cover my skin from the freezing weather. Not sure if this was the right path to the pack, but at this moment I had to t
"W-What did you just say?" I asked unbelievably. "Are you deaf or what? Just stay where you are and wait for the execution..." "No!" I quickly cut him off. How could he say that bluntly when Celestine served their pack for so long? "You should let me inside or else she will die," I added. I couldn't find the right words with the anxiousness running in my system right now. "It's too late now..." "Gaspar! Let her in!" A woman in her fifties suddenly exclaimed, and as the two Gamma's attention was distracted, I quickly ran inside. I'll thank her later. For now, I should save Celestine first, every drop of second matters. The pack was gathered in the middle of the huge ground, eyeing one woman who was tied up to a hanging metal stick. Her arms and legs were wide spread open, and she was surrounded by flammable materials. "Celestine should be condemned for siding with our rival pack's Luna." The man who seemed to be Priam's right hand uttered in front of everyone. "She has to be ex
Looking away, a bitter smile escaped my lips. "But that agreement saved Celestine's life." "If there's someone who should be bailed out, it was her. Not me, or my twin sister. We deserve this after all." "You lost a great Alpha." I continued, pertaining to Alpha Priam's father. "It was unexpected, and we're all shocked by that sudden news. But we can't prevent things that are destined to happen." Keeping my mouth shut, no right words could tame the guilt I have right now. It's all my fault. "I should go now." She breaks the silence between us. "Thank you..?," I uttered once again, waiting for her to say her name. "Calista." "Thank you, Calista." She only smiled at me before heading her way out of the room, leaving me with Celestine alone. A tear that I'd been refraining from falling finally glided down to my cheeks. "I-I'm so sorry," I whispered, seeing all her fresh bruises on the skin made me want to curse myself more. I don't know how long I was staring at her face, her
The scarlet eyes were slowly showing. Like Alpha Primo when his anger cannot be tamed, or when he's about to shift. Worry fills my core for the woman who was striving to survive from the Alpha's grip on her. "How dare you touch her?" He asked menacingly. "I-I'm sorry... A-Alpha." "I-I didn't mean to... But she p-provoked me saying she'd lure you..." What the f*ck is she talking about now? But I didn't say a word, and I knew Alpha Priam wouldn't listen to me, so defendingmyself was just a waste of time. "I-I just want to save our pack from an o-outsider like her, she d-doesn't belong to us." But as long as she said a word, I could see how he tightened his grip on her neck. "A-Alpha, you'll kill her." I quickly interject. Her face was completely pale, proof that she was barely breathing, and no blood was circulating her face. Startling at the glare he threw me, he slowly put down the woman who was now struggling to gasp for air. Swallowing the lump in my throat as he stepped for
