"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
* Half an hour ago *Moving her head to the right a little, Maryn stretched her arm before hugging her pillow. She rubbed her forehead against the pillow and patted it. "It's usually so soft, why does it feel so hard today?" Touching what she had been thinking as her pillow, Maryn suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing his face so close to his, Maryn looked at him with wide eyes and then her eyes shifted to her hand that was put on his chest. "Am I dreaming? There's no way we are sleeping together..." Murmuring so, Maryn rested her head on his arm but then her gaze fixated on her shoulder and she was taken aback. It was not a tight grip but a gentle one. Taking in a large gulp of air, she looked at his face. Maryn bit her lips and touching his cheeks she pinched him. "No, it's not a dream. He... He... We are really..."Suddenly she grabbed his hand and sat on the bed, she pushed his hand away. Looking at him with an annoyance, she scanned the room. "I was sleeping alone on the bed, I do
"Linda, wait."Ignoring his calling, Linda ran across the hallway while wiping off her tears. "Linda, please." Linda took a step back as Adolf appeared before her out of nowhere. She looked down and walked to the right but was stopped by him."Linda, please let me explain.""You don't need to explain anything to me, I am just a nobody to you.""It's not like that. I know you are right at your place to misunderstand me but it's really...""Then how is it?" Linda wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand and looked away from him.Seeing her sad, Adolf held her hand carefully and said calmly, "We were talking and suddenly... Suddenly we started fighting.""What?""Yeah, we were having an argument. It's just because of it, we ended up like that... Linda, believe me. We didn't do anything at all." He assured her, patting her hand gently."But I saw you two to...""Linda, don't you have faith in me?""I... I do trust you but I can't trust her. I love you, Adolf. I love you w
"Ember, don't be afraid." Looking at the beautiful fox on one of the top branches of the tree, Adolf assured. Maryn stared at the fox and muttered, "It indeed has a striking coat of fur that is marbled with white, black and blue. Its Amber eyes are glowing so beautifully, it has a really eye-catching appearance. It's a rare fox that looks so cute... I thought it was a husky but...""Ember, don't panic." Hearing Adolf talk so loudly, Maryn was pulled out of her imagination. She skipped a glance at the scared fox and then back to Adolf. "Mr, foxes can climb the trees right? Can't Ember come down by herself?""Ember is not an expert, she learnt climbing not long ago. Maybe she was curious so she climbed the tree but she doesn't know how to come down.""Oh." A murmur escaped her lips as she observed the fox. No matter what, Ember's eyes were so expressive as if she was asking for help but only to Maryn. The others couldn't see what Ember told Maryn through her soft yet helpless gazes.
