Purpura is by far one of the best land there is. Aside from the beautiful forest that surrounded it, which not only serves as our source of food but also our protection, there’s also that majestic mountain that has also become our source of magic.Initially, I thought that magic was something hard and complicated. But after meeting Seth’s grandfather, there were a lot of things that I have learned that don’t seem to add up. In our land, only the top classes who are part of the elite group meaning those who were born from distinguished families who had been practicing magic and The Chosen One, are given the right to practice and learn about it.Being part of that elite group because my parents made us give Dana and me to practice magic. But when she was announced to be The Chosen One, I decided not to be part of my father’s training. Instead, I focus on something that was not related to magic at all. I became part of the elite warriors of the Purple Hill Pack. I thought that if I ha
For those people who had seen the worst in the world. It was hard to believe that when good things come, nothing bad will happen. I look at the paperwork in my hand as I review all the alliance contracts that my father made with other packs. With him gone, I need to check if these alliances are still worth keeping or if we should start making new ones. It’s been days since Lana started her training with my grandfather and every night she will come home with new knowledge that continues to excite her. I was so happy to see the spark in her eyes every time she tells me the events of her day. While her events are usually eventful, mine was being stuck in this office, well mostly, on most days.I know that she seems fine and that nothing seems to bother her but there are still times at night when she would either wakes up screaming or crying. I know that the memory of that horrible day still lies deep within her heart and I know well enough to understand that it’s something that’s not
There are times when I get the feeling that I was in a place where I was not supposed to be. That I belong somewhere else. Lately, my life felt like a routine. A repeated cycle way of living without anything exciting to even tell your friends about. I walked into Drake's office in the training academy to find him looking at the whiteboard that was mounted on his office wall. He was so deep in thought that he didn’t even feel or realize that I just walked in until he was surprised to see me standing beside him. “What the hell?” he shouted angrily as he places his hand over his chest as if that gesture would somehow calm down his racing heart.“Sorry,” I replied with a shrug, “but to be fair, I did knock before coming in.” “Sorry,” he said as he looks at me, “I didn’t hear it.” I shrug my shoulders and walk toward one of the couches and sat.“What are you doing here anyways?” he asks as he sat on one of the couches in front of me.“Nothing much,” I replied, “I haven’t seen Calvin l
LANAAs I look at the secret place that Seth’s grandfather had created, I can’t believe that I had finally found the path that I should take. I don’t know why it took me so long to realize it, how I can be so much more than what I let myself believe. Meeting Seth was more of a blessing than I realize it to be. Selene was right. I was always given a choice, but my insecurities always lead me to make the wrong one. “What’s the reason behind that beautiful smile?” I know the voice before I even face the person. “I just love it here grandpa,” I told him smiling. “I love it here too,” Seth’s grandpa said chuckling. “Can we finally show this to everyone?” I asked him as we take a seat on the picnic table by the porch. “You can,” he said but there was mischievousness in his smile, “If you can teleport them here.”“That’s not fair grandpa,” I protested, “I haven’t even perfected my teleportation yet.”“Then,” Seth's grandpa started to say, “You should work harder,” he added with a chuck
I followed Seth’s advice and decided to have a fresh start with Dana. So here I am trying to figure out what to cook for her as I tell her about my plans. I already spoke to Dana’s mom and she was delighted with the idea. She said that Dana was under a lot of pressure because of being the Chosen One and because of Lana’s current condition. A lot of times I wanted to ask Calvin how Lana was doing but I feel guilty for Dana. I know that initially, this was just a partnership to show everyone that we are indeed a couple but since the woman who held my heart is no longer available, I guess there is nothing wrong with making this partnership real right?So here I am in the middle of the supermarket, finding all the best ingredients that I could find to cook for Dana. After getting everything that I needed, I hurriedly went home. A house was something I never imagine myself having, especially something to call home. It was like a fleeting moment for me something that I never intended to
After the refreshing vacation, I was back at my desk buried with so much paperwork that I still need to look at. I review each of the contracts that I had made to make alliances with the packs and I can’t help but be proud of my father. All the contracts that he had made does not only benefit our pack but also the pack that we are in alliance with. I can’t help but be proud of my dad. This also adds pressure for me as I need to make sure that I can at least level with his achievements. But seeing the papers on my desk makes me a bit embarrassed. A knock on my door made me look up and I watch as Jericho, Sol, and Marko comes in. “Alpha,” the three of them greeted me as they bow down their heads slightly to show their loyalty and respect toward me. “Yes,” I said. “Our runners have seen sightings of rogue wolves,’ Jericho reported. “How many?” I asked filled with concern, “Did they try to enter the territory?” “When they spotted our runners and started running away,” Marko re
I was so used to surprises that I thought nothing could surprise me anymore. Well, that was at least before hearing what Drake has to say. “Two things happened since the last time we had talked,” Drake begins to say, “One is Nori lost his memories, well not all but some of them, and the other is, I think my Chosen Mate has something to do with the rogue wolves.” I usually know how to react or what to say in any kind of situation but this was the first time I don’t know what to do or say. “I’m sorry to surprise you,” Drake said after a few seconds. I finally get why Nori was no longer bothering me. “Do you think Dana has something to do with Nori’s memory loss?” I asked. I was now getting a better picture of why Lana did not include Nori in the last meeting that with had with Drake, Leon, and Calvin. “That’s the thing,” Drake said as he runs his hand through his hair, “I don’t have any proof to back up my claim. That’s why I decided to talk to you alone.” Now I understand. T
It took me a while but I was finally able to reach my goal. Grandpa Leonidas couldn’t help but be proud of what I have achieved. “I never had a student like you,” Grandpa Leonidas said, “I just hope that no matter how bad things might turn out, don’t forget the purpose of your magic.”“Yes, grandpa,” I replied smiling, “Magic is supposed to help people, not hurt or punish them.” “But before I let you go, I have one final step,” He said smiling at me.“Grandpa,” I said, “No matter what you do, you know that I will never be on the dark side.”I look at him, waiting for his answer that never came. Instead, I saw the sadness pass through his eyes. “Okay,” I said, “bring it on.”I know grandpa’s reason for the test, and to tell you the truth, I was always looking forward to what kind of test he will give me. I always love the way that he challenges me. The way he makes me analyze things and the way he makes me question my choices. “Alright then,” grandpa says as he makes me close my e
