I woke up just before the sun rises and found Mikey still awake. He was seated at the same spot as last night, guarding the door. I look at his face to find some hints of his thoughts but I can’t find none. I guess he is back to the old Mikey that I know who is so good at hiding his feelings and his thoughts. I can’t help but wonder how he took what I said. Is this really how we end?The sound of the phone ringing broke the heavy silence that hung over us.Mikey stood up as he answers the phone and walk outside. And when he came back I slowly sat up to let him know that I was awake. “Good morning,” he greeted with a smile. “Good morning,” I replied. I look at him as he rummage through his backpack and took out some nutribar.“Is this okay for breakfast?” He asks and I nodded, as he walks towards me to hand me one.“I receive a call from your father,” Mikey said as he sat in front of me, “It’s safe to go home now,” he added as he opened the nutribar in his hand and started eating
Once we got home, I found out that there were a lot of warriors that ended up getting hurt but thankfully they were able to minimize casualties and damages.Because of the surprise attack, Uncle Drake requested a meeting that consists of his few trusted people, and most of them are those he considered as family. When I reached his office, Aunt Athena cast a spell that would seal the room from the inside. No one uninvited will be able to enter and no one outside will be able to hear anything that was discussed from the inside. Those in attendance are Aunt Nikki, Uncle Calvin, and Uncle Leon, and to my surprise, even my father was there. “It’s been a while since we have encountered rogue wolves,” Uncle Drake started to say, “But what happened yesterday was something that was definitely planned.” “Someone in our pack is using black magic,” Aunt Athena said. “I set up a shield for the tournament area and upon investigation, someone destroyed a part of that shield from the inside.”“Ha
DK has not spoken to me ever since I came home. But that doesn’t mean that he didn’t care. He became more cautious and alert ever since the attack and even asked my parents to let him stay closer to me to ensure that he will be there to save me when needed. They say actions speak louder than words. Then DK definitely showed through his actions just how much he cared. The truth is, he was more actions than words because he haven’t said anything to me since I came home. And I never asked because I was afraid of the questions that he would ask back.I would have understood him for not speaking to me for one day, but this is the third day now. I have to admit that DK was so good at doing his part that no one noticed that there was something wrong with us. As for me, I already had enough of the silence and enough of walking on eggshells around him. That’s why I was preparing myself to talk to him after our training today.This was the first day that I will be back at the training acade
DK left Purple Hill after what had happened in the car. My father told me that DK called him before leaving Purple Hill’s border. He also said that DK didn’t tell him the specifics, instead, he apologized for not being able to be with me during these crucial times. I told my dad that DK asked Chloe to take me home on his behalf because something urgent came up that needed his attention. My Dad didn’t bother asking anything more than that but I know that Chloe wouldn’t just let this pass. Chloe followed me to my room and waited until I closed my door before asking me the question that I didn’t want to answer. “I know that it’s none of my business but,” Chloe started to say as she glances at me as I sat on the couch by my window. It was the usual Chloe disclaimer that I am used to. The line she usually uses to test my mood before asking the question that doesn’t need to be asked and yet she still asks because of her concern for me. “Did you and DK fight?” She asks as she sat beside
Everything happened in a blur one moment I was inside my car and then I was not. I can hear busy people around me, and I can hear the sound of panic in their voice and then everything turns black once again. The next time I opened my eyes, I see white lights flashing above me with people surrounding me. I can hear their voice but I don’t recognize them except for one. I can’t see him but I can hear him calling my name over and over again. My body felt heavy, just like my eyelids, and once again all I see was black. I hear voices not far from where I was but I can’t understand what they were saying. I try to move but it feels like my body has been frozen into place, and yet I feel the pain all over my body. I wanted to scream, I want to shout all my pain away. But it seems like my lips were sealed together. I tried to open my eyes but then all I see is darkness and as I try to find and see the light darkness lured me to follow it instead, making me lose consciousness once again. The
Finally, after being away for almost a week I will finally be able to see my Anya. I look at the time and realize that I can still see her at the training academy if I go there. At least it won’t be too obvious that my purpose for coming despite the time was her. I can just easily say that I just wanted to check up on my team which isn’t really a lie. As I got inside the training gym, everyone was still training. I checked on Anya’s team and noticed that she wasn’t there. I immediately check the douchebag’s team and found that he too was missing. Was I too late?Have they already left?“Mikey!” I heard someone shout and I know who the voice belongs to without even looking. I walk towards my team and check on the newbies.“So how’s everyone?” I asked as Ollie handed me the clipboard that he was holding. “Everyone is okay,” Ollie replied, “Well, except for Asher.” “What happened to him?” I asked as I continue to read the notes that Ollie has jotted down for each of the newbies. “H
I thought that knowing that my parents are alive and seeing them was the greatest shock of my life but I was wrong. I look at the woman I love and watch her as she wraps herself around another man and there was nothing I can do about it. I wanted to scream, wanted to punch the douchebag’s face but I can’t. Because the truth is that I don’t have any right to do so. I was powerless. In the eyes of everyone, including the people of the Silver Mountain Pack, Anya was the Chosen Mate of their future Alpha. At the same time, this is not my turf, I can end up being a prisoner if I try to push my luck and I know that I have already reached its limit. “Anya is safe,” the doctor of Silver Mountain Pack said, “To be honest, this was the second time I have experienced this kind of case when the wolf took over the human form. And pretended or acted like a human.” “But where is our daughter?” Uncle Drake asks. “She is there,” the doctor replied, “Right now her human mind is weakened because
The moment that I opened my eyes all I see was darkness. There was no sound, and no light to guide me. I felt the cold chills running over my body as I blindly walk in the darkness.All I can remember was the big black wolf standing in the middle of the road. I know that I have seen a lot of wolves in my life, even rogue wolves but there was something unnerving with this one. It was like the wolf know me even though it was the first time that I had met it. The way his eyes stare me down. It felt like he was getting into the depths of the most hidden parts of me and knowing that scared me. I remember avoiding it when I turned my steering wheel in the opposite direction and the next thing I know was that I was heading straight for the big tree by the side of the road. Everything happened so fast that I have no time to avoid hitting the tree. The impact was strong that I hit my head on the side window of my car. It hurt so much but I saw glimpses of what happened next. I remember ho
It’s been five years since the war ended, but there were still times when I would be so afraid that the horrors would come back again. But then my family would come and remind me that no matter what happens we will always get through them. Anya still hated me for the way I acted that day as I approached Isabel. She hated me because she almost lost me. But then it was also because of what happened we finally found what DK’s power was. If my power was death, DK was life. Which explains how he was able to pull me out of death’s arm. We were the extreme of everything, and Anya was the balance in between. Which is why we were Fated with each other. I have to thank my mom. She was one of the reasons why I survived. Turns out she was right, we would have triplets and I have a daughter who was as unique as her brothers. Her hair was black on the crown of her head which slowly changed to blonde by the ends of it. A perfect combination of my hair color and DK’s. But what made her m
She’s here, they’re here. They came for me.‘Redeem your powers and your wolf,’ Anya orders, ‘We are going into war.’I smiled through the pain as I chanted the words that my mother told me to say when I was ready. Pain, spread through my body as Hades took his rightful spot. ‘It’s about time,’ Hades growled. We watched as Isabel’s eyes filled with fury as she watched my body heal like the torture that she gave me this past few days never happened. A guard came rushing and said, “We are surrounded.”Isabel’s eyes widened as she finally realized what she was up against. “Seize them!” she ordered to her guards. “Keep them alive.” Additional guards arrived and to our surprise, they all shifted into their wolf forms barring their teeth at us. “Don’t ever think I can’t fight them or Persephone will never allow you in bed with us,” Anya threatened, making DK and me laugh. “Oh we wouldn’t dare,” I replied. Suddenly our wolves order us not to shift telling us to fight in human form.
I failed. I was brought to the Black Moon pack to hide as I let my new best friend die right before my eyes and let one of my Fated Mate be captured by the enemy. I failed. And I have no one else to blame but me.DK had tried several times to check on me. To talk to me. But I wouldn’t let him. I was angry with him for letting Mikey go and I was afraid that if he came closer I would lose him too. Why? Why did we have to suffer like this?And yet despite all my questions, no one seems to provide an answer. *****It was the second day, and I cried myself to sleep. I found out that Ruby was buried as me. This isn’t fair. This isn’t right. But there is nothing I can do because she is already dead.I used to enjoy sleeping because it let me escape my harsh reality. But I hate sleeping now because I dreamed of Mikey in a cold dark cell suffering as his body was broken several times over and over again. DK broke the door of our cabin, but I still won’t talk to him. He carried me to th
After finding out who the spy was everything went clear. I know what needs to be done. How can I not know when I dreamt of it almost every night? My nightmare was finally becoming reality, but all I could think of was Anya’s safety. “What are you waiting for?” DK asked in a panic. But I knew that nothing would happen to Anya as long as Ruby was there. “I need you to listen to me,” I finally said. “Anya will be killed,” I said. “What?!” DK was about to launch a punch but my mother stopped it. “Let me rephrase that,” I said as I took a deep breath, “Everyone will think that Anya will be killed because it will be someone with Anya’s face.”“Oh god,” DK said as he fell back on his chair as he finally realized what I was saying. “And I will be captured,” I continued.“What?” It was my Dad who reacted this time. “Because I will let them,” I replied, “Asher will be tortured in our hands but we will not kill him. And just right in time, Isabel would arrive and kill Anya. The moment th
I closed my eyes and envisioned the person I was going to imitate. This is the last chance that we have and I need to make everything as perfect as I remember it. I tuned out all the sounds and negative thoughts that I had and prayed that this chance that I had won’t go to waste. And then I feel it, the soft hum of the spell working their magic. I watch as the shape of my hand changes as well as my clothes. Once the change was complete, I pulled out the small mirror that I hid in my pocket and looked at myself to see if I had become the person that everybody feared. I know that by now, Mikey, DK, and the rest of my family understood what I meant that I would root the spy out. Because I finally learned the best way to do it. As I was waiting for Ruby to come, a thought came to me as I recalled my grandmother’s words. “The spy you are all looking for is right under your noses.”“There is only one spy.” I guess I have known it for a long time, I just don’t have enough proof to admit
“I still think this is a bad idea,” Uncle Drake said for the third time. “Can’t you just trust your daughter?” Aunt Athena complains. Even though DK and I agreed with Anya because we wanted to support her. We can’t deny the fact that we are still scared that something bad might happen to her just like the last time. This is why the tournament was held in a different Arena that Anya personally requested.As the three of us agreed to disagree, we finally found a way to compromise which included my Mom and Uncle Jericho’s presence. The wards inside the arena were created to not have any rogue wolves in unless it was tampered with from the inside. But that does not include me, DK, my Mom, and Uncle Jericho. Aunt Dana added our blood the same security she used in Purpura that would allow us to enter the Arena when needed through teleportation. We watch through the screen as Anya and Ruby prepare to enter the arena and see Rose approaching them. And as much as Anya hated it, she was wa
The day of the tournament is finally here. The place where the tournament was going to be held was announced an hour before the tournament began.It was on the plain just outside the forest of Purpura. I know the test that awaited us, but instead of surviving the tournament, I now have a different purpose. And that is to find the spy. “Luna,” Rose said as she approached us. I nodded at her. “I know that you’re not here to win the tournament,” she said, her voice so low that only I could hear what she had to say. “I want to help.” Rose was there when Isabel attacked us. My father said to be on alert because she may be the spy. I told him that Rose would never do such a thing and that I trusted her. But my father then pointed out that the purpose of the spy was to gain our trust so that they could attack when we least expected it. He pointed out the same thing with Asher, which of course hurt Mikey. He had watched that kid grow with his guidance, which made the thought of him being
After practicing for more than a day and a half, I finally got the spell right. I know that I shouldn’t let anybody know about the spell but I needed to practice it. So before I did the spell I made sure that Ruby made a promise bond with me. So that she won’t in any possible way tell anything to DK.“It worked!” I screamed happily as we stood in front of each other in the training room of the packhouse. “Do I really look like that, Luna?” Ruby asks as she stares at me with this belief.I pulled her in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror by the corner and smiled. “We look like twins,” I replied happily. Ruby sighs, “Still, I don’t think I look like that.”“Stop it,” I ordered, “You're spoiling the fun,” I added pouting. Just then someone moving the doorknob caught our attention. “It’s locked,” I hear DK complained.“Are you sure?” Mikey asked. “Anya!” DK shouted. “I’m here!” I shouted but then my voice sounded different, “Don’t open the door.” “What’s going on Little Wolf?” M
After the announcement about the tournament, Anya headed back to the packhouse to do the thing that she needed to do but couldn’t tell us. Since Anya said that she will just stay at the packhouse for it. We decided that Ruby was a better alternative in the meantime since DK needed to return to Silver Mountain to assist my mother, Aunt Dana, and Aunt Athena in finding a suitable place for a safe place for his people. But he promises to be back before nighttime to keep an eye on Anya while I stay in Purpura for the night. “You’re avoiding your mother,” My Dad Nori says as he falls a step beside me. As we walk towards the entrance of Purpura.“No,” I replied but it didn’t sound as convincing as I want to be. “What’s on your mind?” My Dad asks as we enter the threshold of Purpura. “I guess I just don’t know her,” I answered.“You don’t know Seth before but you got along just fine right now,” My Dad countered. I looked at my father and saw the same onyx-colored eyes that I possess and
