I can’t believe my father would even think of doing such a thing. Out of all the people in the room, he was the last person I expected to think or even suggest such a thing. I felt Mikey’s warmth against my body as he continued to hold me close to him. A part of me finally understood why Mikey wanted to hide it but at the same time, I would have really understood it if he told me. “I’m sorry,” Mikey whispered against my ear, “If only I had told you then maybe we’re not in this mess right now.”I pulled away to get a better look at him. This was the first time I saw Mikey this vulnerable. His face was a reflection of guilt, anger, frustration, and regret.“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked again, only softly this time.“I was scared,” he said, “I was scared that I’d lose you again.” “Why would you think that way?” I can’t believe that he would say that. I can’t believe that he would even think that way. I just don’t understand why he would be so scared. “I’m not going anywhere.”He
We had just fixed our problem and I know that it was just the tip of the iceberg. Before leaving Anya’s room, we both talked about what would happen and discussed the solutions together.I was amazed to see how Anya had grown. She was perfect in so many ways and I can’t help but be proud of the woman that she had become.I know that we have agreed on her training with DK but a part of me doesn’t like the idea. But after the conversation I had with Anya I know that if I want to keep Anya, I have to learn to compromise.“I know that you don’t want me to join the tournament,” Anya started to say, “But I really want to be part of it. I know the risks, and I promise to be careful. But if I don’t do it, if I don’t try it, a part of me might never be c
After the conversation that we had with our family, Anya and I decided to stay together that night. We both wanted to cherish the little time that we had together and make the most out of it. That night I didn’t have any nightmares. The next day, Anya and I headed to the Training Academy to meet with our respective teams. Our parents decided that we would announce the tournament by the end of the week to avoid being obvious. Being so focused on the upcoming war, Anya and I forgot one important factor. Which is why we are now held hostage behind the Training Academy’s building. “No one will leave this spot unless one of you tells us what happened,” Chloe said with her arm crossed in front of her chest. “All this while I was covering for you and you failed to update me with what’s happening in your life?” Ollie said angrily as he imitated Chloe’s reaction. “It just happened?” Anya’s unsure answer just ignited more anger and pointed looks. “You were gone for too long, Anya!” Ch
My father already warned us about our friends. Especially, my bestfriend Chloe. He said that something had happened to her memory. Like it was altered. Both my parents had told me that she kept coming back to the pack house and was looking for me. Chloe kept on asking my parents when DK and I get married or when we would come back. So when they told her that DK and I had broken up and that Mikey and I were back together Chloe lost it. And they said that Chloe had not come back since then.My parents wanted to investigate what happened to Chloe but decided to wait for me. They said that it would be better if I would be the one to check on Chloe. Chloe and I had been best friends and after what had happened when Mikey and I broke up. Not to mention the way DK came into the picture. But despite it all, Chloe stood by me, fought for me, and defended me from anyone who judged me. So I can just imagine what must be going on in her head, especially since she had forgotten that Mikey and I
I know that Anya was not happy with what happened to Chloe. Which made me more weary because until now we still have no idea who the mole or spy is. It also made me scared to know that whoever the spy was, he or she wanted to get more info about either Anya and me which is why he or she aimed for Chloe. I looked from across the gym and found Anya looking at Chloe. Chloe would usually hang around Anya but right now they are both standing opposite to each other. Anya kept on looking at Chloe but Chloe avoided Anya’s eyes.But that doesn’t bother Anya at all because I know that Anya would do everything just to win Chloe back. What bothered Anya right now was Thea. I heard about her but I don’t really know anything about her. All I heard was that she had liked me since we were young even though I don’t really have any memory of her. “Alpha Mikey,” I turned to face the person who called me and smiled. Asher has been working so hard to accomplish all the training exercises that we give
I stood before the person who had been on my side since we were young. I knew from the moment that she had pulled Mikey and me behind the training center that something was very wrong with her. I can see it through her eyes. Her eyes don’t reflect any emotions or feelings. She looks like a ghost, no, she looks like a hollow shell. Nothing like the Chloe that I know. Chloe was always the life of the party, always full of life, full of energy. But what bothers me more is not the hollowness that I saw from her but the darkness that was now surrounding her. I didn’t see it before but right now I can see it. But the dark shadows that surrounded her right now were nothing like that of Mikey’s. Because Mikey’s shadows have a silvery light surrounding it’s edges. That when Mikey is at ease the light becomes more vivid than the darkness around him. Unlike the one that was surrounding Chloe right now. Because what was surrounding Chloe right now is just pure black.“Since both parties had alr
Uncle Leon arrived and found me in the makeshift ring with Chloe lying on my lap, unconscious. He looked at me and then at Mikey and then at Rose. None of us spoke and Uncle Leon never asked. It took a full two minutes of silence before Uncle Leon announced the suspension of training for the day but asked me, Mikey, and Rose, to stay behind as he checked on Chloe. After making sure that she was not in danger he then calls for an ambulance.Mikey and I waited outside of the emergency room along with Rose, Ollie, and a quiet Uncle Leon. Uncle Leon never said anything after Rose explained what had happened which scares me more. Uncle Leon was never silent. He would call you out if you did something stupid and make you realize the mistake that you made. Make you pay for what you did. I heard people rushing and I knew who those heavy footsteps belonged to. “What happened?” My father’s booming voice echoed in the empty hallway. “It was nothing major,” Uncle Leon said as he placed his h
Things were getting more serious than we thought.We all came back to the pack house to discuss the recent events. We all gathered in Uncle Drake’s office and Uncle Leon called on Ollie to watch over Chloe. Aunt Athena had placed a spell on Chloe’s room hiding her and Ollie from anyone who opens the door other than us. “We are running out of time,” the desperation in Uncle Drake’s voice was evident and everyone couldn’t help but agree with him. “We are always a step behind and what frustrates me even more is that we don’t know a thing about them,” I have never seen Uncle Drake this shaken. It was not because he was afraid, or maybe he was, but not personally. Because I know that the only reason he can be that way is because of our people. “Should we start calling in our favors?” Uncle Calvin asks. “Favors?” I asked unsure who Uncle Calvin was referring to. I know all the packs that we are in alliance with and mostly they are my father’s and Uncle Drake’s friends. I am not sure of
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
