'It's less painful... ' Maryn slowly opened her eyes and moved a little on the bed. Feeling something mushy near her hand, she mumbled, "It feels so soft... Like cat's fur..." She rubbed her head against it and moved her hand around.Suddenly as she touched it's head, a subtle realisation hit her. Maryn quickly moved some inches away from it and cried out, "A husky." But as her eyes met with the husky like wolf, she was stunned, "No, a wolf?""Mate, it's me." The wolf voiced, taking a step towards her.Hearing the Wolf talk, she moved backwards continuously. "Don't come closer."It was a majestic black wolf with silver streaks and it's dark green eyes looked so beautiful as if the forest lived in his eyes. "Mate.""I said, don't come closer. Do..." Suddenly opening her eyes, Maryn took some deep breaths. Taking a surreptitious glance around as she found herself lying on the bed, she heaved a sigh. "It was a dream."Her head felt so heavy and she could feel her body was still weak. A
Wiping off her mouth with the tissues, Maryn strolled towards the little balcony and joined Kimberly for moonviewing. Jordan told her to take rest but she didn't know why did she feel all fine. Far more, when she looked at the mirror for any trace of that Epsilon's attack she found none. "Maryn, are you feeling better now?""Yes, I feel a lot better."Not even a day passed since she talked to Adolf and that was the last time she saw him. She tried her best to not appear in front of him again. "The moon today is extra beautiful, isn't it? She has a different charm." Maryn added and Kimberly smiled, agreeing with her, "Yes, it does."The moon viewing reminded her of the days she spent in her human world, though half-humans lived here but it was never the same. "You know me and my brother used to see the moon like this.""Wow, that sounds fun. Tell me about it.""Well, we didn't have a balcony from where we could see the moon so we would go to a place. There was a riverside, the moon
"Shhh!" Holding her chin, he stepped closer while never shifting his gaze off of her. His ragged breath swayed against her skin and she held tightly onto the towel she had wrapped around her chest. "M... " There was a trace of nervousness in her voice, she couldn't say anything as she found herself pinched against the wall. He leaned down to match her height and it made her heart skip a beat. His intense gazes continuously scanned her lips, he looked so drowned in her that she had a doubt, it was the same man who didn't want her. As Maryn wanted to talk, he brushed his thumb on her lower lip.Maryn could hear her heart beating rapidly against her chest, every time he came closer to her she had the same feeling and she still wondered why would she feel like that when she knew herself she had no feelings for him. Thinking that something was wrong with him as she wanted to touch him to pull him together, he grabbed her wrist with one hand and pressed it against the wall. "Mr..." Maryn
"Maryn, choose as many dresses as you can. Let's have my brother spend a little." Kimberly gave her a wink and started picking some dresses.As Linda kept staying close to Adolf, Kimberly dragged Maryn inside the mall. Maryn loved her like a true friend, she was the only one who always supported Maryn and treated her like a sister though they met for such a short time.Seeing Maryn stand still, Linda walked past her. She picked a dress and holding it on her front she asked Adolf sweetly, "Babe, do I look good in it?""Yes.""Let me try something else." Saying so, she spared Maryn a gaze of mockery and walked around in search of another dress. "Why are you not trying anything? Don't you like the clothes here?" Noticing how Maryn was standing still, Adolf took a look around and then picked a dress for her, "It's not that.""Then what?""I... I don't need new clothes. Can I go back..." As he suddenly pulled her hand, she was flabbergasted. Adolf handed her the dress and added, "Go and
"Maryn, wait." Kimberly quickly pulled her aside and then pushed her to the front seat. Surprised, Maryn looked at her with confusion, "What's wrong?""I have something to talk to my brother, you wait here." Not wasting another minute, Kimberly closed the door and turned around.Running to Adolf, she asked, "Brother, do you want to run away?""What do you mean?" At the time, they came to the mall Linda sat at the front and Maryn in the back seat. Adolf didn't mind it nor could he guess what was with Maryn sitting at the back.Seeing his dumbfounded face, Kimberly nodded her head in disbelief. "Arghh! You are really... See, we all know that Maryn wants to leave this place, so she has been trying everything till now.""Yeah so?""You will let her sit at the back? What if she tries anything? With you by her side, she won't be able to escape." As Kimberly explained, Adolf looked at the car. "I don't think she wi...""My brother, you are so naive. You forgot she is powerful, though she did
"Alpha, we... We were washing t-the clothes." The girls hesitantly answered, the fear in their faces was so vivid."Why are clothes overthrown everywhere?" "Well, it's... It's be-because..." The girls looked at each other in fear.The woman who had her gazes fixated on the ground, stood still nervously. She didn't know why she was feeling like that though but the burning sensation in her chest couldn't be just a coincidence, she knew."Mat, did you find her?" The Alpha of Dark Moon Pack asked Matrix who was standing next to him but he was so lost in his own imagination. Noticing where his eyes were at, the Alpha smiled and added in a serious tone of voice, "Everyone, go back to what you were doing.""Yes, Alpha." As the girls quickly started washing the clothes, the woman leaned down to start working when the Alpha said, "Except for you.""A-Alpha." Fearing she was about to get punished, the woman got scared. "What's your name?""It's Ha-Hailey." She answered sheepishly. Hearing h
Tossing a stone at the pond, Maryn called out. "Kim.""Yeah, Maryn.""Uhmm, I am curious about something... Please don't mind if I ask something I should not." Seeing the worried look on her face, Kimberly put down the bowl on the table, "Ask what is it.""Well, do you also have a wolf?" Her eyes twinkled in curiosity."Yeah, we all do.""Wow, then you guys have superpowers too?" Maryn asked, sounding so enthusiastic.Kimberly chuckled upon seeing her so curious like a kid, "Yeah, we do but it varies on our ranking. Here, the most powerful is my brother who is the Alpha of this pack.""Ohh, I see. Then?""Then, comes the beta of this pack which is Andrew. There are also Gamma, Delta, omegas, elders, pack doctors, pack warriors, pack..." Seated on the bench, Maryn heard her explain everything and one by one. "Wow, it sounds so cool. It's like a king, queen, ministers and all.""Yes, and do you know who is almost equal to the king?""The queen?" Maryn asked innocently.Kimberly smiled a
"Mom, Dad." In terror, her eyes scanned the surrounding restlessly while her legs moved backwards subconsciously. The piercing doleful crying of some women and men echoed in the distant, their crying for help sounded so heartbreaking yet staying in the room felt more terrifying to her. Suddenly fire started spreading everywhere, as if someone threw gasoline everywhere. The men and women crying for help became louder but at the same time, their cries was subsiding. As suddenly someone entered the room, the little girl quickly ran towards the cupboard to hide but it was too late."Don't... Don't kill me." The little girl cried out, looking down. "Please, don't come closer.""Maryn." Suddenly walking through the door, Adolf looked for her everywhere in the room crazily. His face was so pale, he could barely breathe. "Mar..."Standing at the door of the bedroom, he saw her. He watched her moving on the bed and mumbling something, "I want to live, please...""Maryn." Running to her, he h
