After dropping Lana off at the training academy, I went straight to Aunt Aurora where I find a lot more kids with her than before. She was teaching the kids how to plant, and all of them look my way when they heard my parking.As I got down from my truck, Aunt Aurora wave at me. Seeing her actions the cute little kids imitate her making me wave back at them as I walk in their direction. “How was the vacation?” Aunt Aurora asks as she envelops me in her tiny little arms. “Tiring?” I said with a smile. The truth is, it felt like there were a lot of things that I forgot during my stay at Purple Hill. It’s like there was a very big gap in my head that I can’t seem to remember. But now is not the time to think about it. I have more important things to think about. “Lana said she will set a time to visit you this week,” I said as I walk with her towards the bench where Lana used to sit when she was unwell, “She just needed to check on how her trainees were and make sure they are alright
I headed towards Elder Katarin’s place for the dinner that she had prepared for us. Lana told me that she will ride with Sol and Marko and will meet me there. They were already seated in the dining area when I arrived and found an empty seat beside Lana. They all turned and smiled at me the moment they saw me. “Nice of you to join us, Alpha,” Edler Katarin greeted me as I take my seat. “Sorry,” I replied, “I got a little tied up.” “No worries,” Elder Katarin replied, “We were just getting started,” she added as she clapped her hands together and we began eating. Small chitchat about Calvin’s and Jericho’s love story filled the room. It was nice to have a casual conversation like this. It reminds us that life is beautiful. That despite the ugliness it sometimes brings, life is still beautiful.As deserts are served, the tone of the night had changed. “I know that this is something that we shouldn’t discuss,” Elder Katarin said, “But I really think that it’s time that you guys te
It was quiet for a couple of days as we continue what we have planned. Everyone was busy, especially Lana. She continued with the training of the female warriors who have improved immensely in just a few days under her supervision. She also offered to teach the ladies of the daycare and the orphanage some basic defense strategies to protect themselves. It was a project of the female warriors and part of their training to teach those who are willing to learn.An orphanage was built beside the daycare because Lana planned to have the two buildings connected with each other for easier access for Aunt Aurora. After all these things that Lana is busy with, she began creating a safe place for the people of the Black Moon pack. If my grandfather’s safe place was located in the packhouse, Lana created a gateway for each house in the Black Moon pack. The moment that Lana opens the portal, every one of the Black Moon Pack people would be able to access the entrance. The downside of this pla
I was getting the hang of using magic. Honestly, I still can’t believe that I have become a full-blown mage. Looking back. I never would have imagined becoming one. I was always happy doing physical training and left the magic training to my sister. There are times when I miss Dana. Especially, when I see kids playing with each other. We used to be like that, you know. We used to be inseparable. We use to have each other’s back despite the knowledge that she was the Chosen One. I don’t exactly know what happened between us. Maybe we were still immature then. But whenever I think of how things went bad between us, I can’t really put all the blame on her. To tell you the truth, after all the things that had happened to us and especially to me, I no longer feel the same anger I feel when Nori chose her and she said yes. I guess my pain then was because of the betrayal I had felt from both of them. But whenever I think about it again, I realize also that it wasn’t really their faul
There are a lot of things in my life right now that I can’t seem to explain. It feels like I was living a life that isn’t mine at all. It even came to the point that I don’t recognize myself at all. I sat in my truck looking at the empty and dark house in front of me. I tried over and over again to be able to make it up to Dana. And it somehow worked until Lana came to visit.Dana started talking about things that I thought we have already moved past on. But then, just a sight or the knowledge that Lana was close drove her to the edge. I have to admit that Lana was exceptionally beautiful right now, which could only mean that her husband was taking good care of her. I look again at my sad dark home and realize how much I miss being with Lana and Calvin. I miss those times when we go for drinks and chill out or when we goof around along with Leon and Drake. Speaking of which, Leon and Drake also seem to be pretty busy these days. All I know was that they were having extra pieces o
I have never seen so many dead bodies in my life until now. Calvin and I stood in shock as we see half of the city burning. “What is happening?” Calvin asks the same question I have in my mind. ‘Drake!’ I shouted through the mind link, ‘Where are you?’ But received no response.“Let’s keep as many of our people safe as we can,” I said to Calvin but Calvin was not moving. Instead, it seems like he was like a frozen statue that was unable to move. “Calvin!” I shouted at him, snapping him out of the nightmare trance that he was trapped in.He slowly staggered along but was able to kick away a rogue wolf that was about to attack the children not far from where he’s at. We continue to guide the people out as we fight off the small rogues that come our way. To make things faster Calvin and I decided to shift into our wolf form to ensure the safety of our people. ‘Nori,’ Drake said through a mind link he opened for us, ‘Where are you located?’ He asked. I looked around me and I noticed
I only have one thing in my mind while we were cleaning and fixing all the things that the rogue wolves have destroyed. As Drake, Leon, Calvin, and I continued with what we are doing, my mind was focused on only one thing, and that was to check on Dana.A part of me believes that she has nothing to do with all of this, but the other part of me who had seen what she can do knows that she was capable of it, knows that she can be the cause of this. Fear crept inside me while Zeus begin to circle my head. Just like me, he was also beginning to feel restless. Both of us wanted to protect Dana because we both know that was the only thing that we can do to make up for all the things that we have done to her. But we also know that we are bonded with the loyalty vow with the Alpha, which makes the pack our top priority among anything else. I know I have no power against an Alpha command unless I want to become a rogue wolf as well. But that does not mean that I won’t try to do something abou
I don’t know what to think or feel as we all gathered inside the office of Drake’s father. When I asked Drake what the meeting was about, he was not able to answer as well. He said that his father didn’t tell him anything else than to have all his officers come in for the meeting. I am not really sure what to feel about this meeting. Although this was not the first time that his father requested one. Most of the time his father just wanted to check for the damage as well as the impact it had on the remaining warriors, but there was something about this meeting that feels so different and off and that makes me feel so uneasy.The Purple Hill Warriors is mainly headed by Drake now. But there are still a few the veteran warriors who held positions for different purposes. I watch as the old warriors take their seats across from us as we all waited in silence for Drake’s dad to arrive. The door opened and every one of us rose from our seats thinking that it would be Drake’s dad and mom.
