As my eyes travel across the noisy bar, which used to be my refuge after training, I beg to regret what my big mouth said to a kind man earlier.
“What are you doing?” Calvin asks as he sits on the couch in front of me with two bottles of beer.
“Nothing.” I replied bitterly as I start to miss the alcoholic concoction, which was just a margarita by the way, that Seth makes for us, “So we’re back to beers once again?” I asked my friend.
“We tried the margaritas that are served here remember?” Calvin asks with a smile. Yup, I remember it so well like it was yesterday. The margaritas served here don’t taste anything like the margarita that Seth serves us. It’s more of vodka with ice that was placed in a fancy glass. I have to shake my head as I
I don’t remember what time I got off or whom I got home with. All I remember was how peaceful I slept last night. I did not wake up in the middle of the night nor have to cry myself to sleep. I pulled the covers as the softness of the comforter gives me an imaginable pleasure as it touches my skin. I smelt the comforter as it reach my nose while covering my face to block out any of the light that was coming in from my window. The was so happy to smell my comforter because there was no hint of the flowery scent that my mother usually uses for our clothes just because it was Dana’s favorite scent. I love that my mother decided to use a different fabric conditioner for my things. The smell of morning refreshes my head and for the first time, I was so glad that it was not throbbing with pain from the hangover. But that was not the only thing that made my day. As I smell the sweet smell of bacon being cooked right now. Wow, my mom is spoiling me. What did I do that made her decide to s
The bar did well today. I am happy that we were busy. Not only because of the profit that we earn, but also for keeping my mind calm by stopping it from overthinking. We closed the bar later than usual but I have no regrets. Lesser time for my mind to torture itself.“Boss,” Sol called me out, “Is there anything else that you need from me?”I shook my head and replied, “Nah, It’s all good. Thanks for tonight.” I wave at them as I continue to do the accounting.“All good in the kitchen,” Jericho said as he walk out of the kitchen. He walked straight to the fridge and got two bottles of beer. He sat on the stool in front of me as he offered me the other bottle. “So what’s your plan for the tournament?” Jericho asks me as I finished my accounting and set the book aside.“I haven’t thought about it yet,” I admitted as I drank the bottle of beer that he gave me. I don’t know if it was because of my unsettled mind or if it was because I am just thirsty that I almost finish the whole bottle
After eating in silence Seth started to clear the table. I offered but he declined. ‘I like him,’ my inner goddess spoke, ‘especially after seeing his body,’ she added rather in an extremely sensual way. ‘Stop it!’ I ordered my inner goddess as the image of a naked Seth appears in my head sending heat down my cheeks. I shake my head as I try to erase the naughty thoughts that my inner goddess continues to send my way.“Something wrong, Lana?” Seth asks as walks toward me. “No-nothing,” damn it. Why do I keep on stammering? I hate it when they think that I am weak and an easy person. “Do I make you uncomfortable?” Seth asks. “No, God no,” I said sounding a little more urgent than I intend it to be.“Glad to hear that,” Seth said smiling, I miss that smile. “Coffee?” He asks.“Sure,” I replied as I try to smile which I know looks awkward but the smile that I received from Seth gave me hope that I don’t really look that bad. ‘What more are you looking for?’ My inner goddess berate
Everyone was excited about the upcoming tournament. Everyone but me. I look across the room and watch the person that means the most to me talking with my best friend. Or so I thought. After our last encounter, a part of me wanted to end our friendship, then and there. But Drake and Leon stepped in and made us apologize to each other. A lot of our warriors are now afraid of me. I used to be a jolly outgoing person but after my announcement of my Chosen Mate, my mood became so unpredictable. Especially whenever I see Lana with Calvin. I know that if there was someone that I should be trusting it should be him, but seeing Lana happy with him makes me feel something I haven’t felt in my whole life. Honestly, I didn’t know that I would even feel like this but here I am watching them from afar, wanting nothing else but to be the way we used to be. ‘Have you already forgotten why we’re in this situation?’ my wolf Zeus angrily hissed at me.‘We could have been there, laughing with them, f
Today is the day of the tournament and for the first time, I am nervous. It feels kind of weird to feel this way though. Because I am always confident with myself and my team. But today is the first tournament against another pack that Lana and Calvin were not part of. My most trusted allies now have a world of their own. “Are you ready?” Drake asks. There was a time when this question didn’t mean anything to me. A time when this question was just like any other question that I can confidently answer. But today is not one of those days. Today that question placed so much pressure not only on me but also on the rest of the pack. So instead of giving Drake my usual overconfident answer, I just nod at him. He stood there in silence as he stare at me before finally saying, “Let’s just do our best.” He placed his hand over my shoulder and gave it a little squeeze before talking to other warriors. It was a common practice for Purple Hill to have a small parade of warriors before the tour
I watch the bright blue sky turn into an orange hue and I know that we only have a few more minutes left to prepare. Everyone started to take their places but there was only one position I was interested in. The place where Lana would be located. I know that nothing would happen to her and if Calvin was with her, which I know he is, she will surely be safe because Calvin won’t let anything bad happen to her. I don’t know what’s happening to me, all I know is that I am worried about Lana because this will be the first time that we’ll be encountering the Black Moon Pack. “Nori,” I turned towards the direction from where the voice came. I watch as Dana came running towards me. “I made it,” she said smiling at me, “I thought that I’ll never get to see you before you enter the arena.” She was almost out of breath when she reached me but she was still smiling. I motioned for one of the warriors who was assigned as water boy to throw me a bottle. “Nice catch,” Dana said beaming at me
There are a lot of things in my life that question. A lot of things that most of the time I end up regretting. I know that I am a very impulsive person but despite the rush decisions that I make, I always make sure of one thing. To keep those people who are important to me safe. That’s all that matters to me. But there are times when my ways might seem a little far-fetched for some but for me, it was something that I have thought about over and over again. It was not something I take lightly, especially if it meant that I will be protecting the people I love. But unfortunately, not all of my plans are meant to end the way I have envisioned them. But one thing’s for sure, it has served its initial purpose, and that is to protect the people I treasure. Which leads me to the position that I am in right now. ‘Nori,’ Drake shouted in the mind link, ‘We are stuck here at the east, they came in prepared and strong. Almost all of our rookie warriors are held captive.’ ‘Damn it!’ I hear
The night is cold and the dark blue sky was filled with shining lights. Just a few weeks from now the tournament will begin. And I am feeling more uneasy about it as the day comes close. I haven’t spoken to Nori since the day of our fight. The truth is that I have been avoiding him. To tell you the truth I don’t have enough reason why I keep my distance from him. Not because I am still angry at him or I haven’t moved on. It was because I don’t have anything nice thing to say to him.On the other hand, Seth hadn’t called or made contact since the day we left that cozy house. My inner goddess keeps telling me that he was just waiting for me to do the first move. But doing that was never my style. That’s why I ended up being friend-zoned. But then, that’s really not the problem, right? Because if Seth does make a move and reach out for my hand, I am not sure if I will be brave enough to take it. ‘Your problem is you haven’t gotten laid,’ the quietness I was enjoying slowly slipped as m
