Alice The crowd’s cheers grew louder as we approached the dungeon, and that is when I felt a sense of dread wash over me. These wolves were way too eager to throw someone in the dungeon, even going as far as making snacks to enjoy the show, and even holding a party after the whole dungeon thing is over, to allegedly celebrate that the evil within our pack would no longer be able to do harm anyone.I wanted to laugh at how two-faced these people could be. I mean, first you tell me, is that I am an attention-seeking liar, and now you are telling me that you always knew, and that you are so glad the evil is purged from this pack? I rolled my eyes at the thought, and at the fact that this was basically all for show, if anything.They did not care about justice, and they most certainly couldn't care less, they were just happy about having an excuse to get drunk, and being able to leave their kids to be attended to by the pack caregivers. I sighed knowing that they would all try to put the
AliceI sat in the bathtub, looking at the wounds that had started to heal, and it served as my reminder to keep pushing for what I believed in, because the more I saw of the pack, the more I realized that there were little to no good people left inside of it.I knew what I had to do, and I knew that it was about time that this pack learned that their actions have consequences, but that would be a story for a different day. For now, I had to focus on the party, as that was where most of the Betas would be.I sighed as I got out of the relaxing tub, and headed towards the room I shared with Zayn, and I could see a grin spreading on his face as he looked me up and down with a hungry gaze. I smiled at him, before walking towards him, and capturing his lips in mine.“We have to get ready for the party, it is almost evening.” I whispered, and my lips curled up into a grin as I walked over to the closet to pick a nice outfit for said party.“Alright, alright. I suppose we can celebrate a bi
AliceI followed Bryce to the drinks, glancing behind me to make sure that no one was following, and it looked like I was in the clear.“Bryce!” I exclaimed, dragging out the “y” in his name.“What is it this time, Alice?” He inquired, sounding agitated, and I rolled my eyes.“Do not use that tone of voice with me! I just wanted to tell you that Haley has just as much of a crush on you as you have on her.” I stated, causing his eyes to widen in shock.“W-What are you talking about?” He inquired nervously, obviously playing dumb.“Stop playing dumb. I know you both like each other so go talk to her.” I stated, before getting impatient as I started pushing him back towards the group.“Haley, guess who is back!” I yelled, causing her to stumble over towards us. She looked tipsy to say the least, but she tried her best to compose herself.“Hey Alice, who is this handsome guy? You never told me you had such sexy friends.” She stated, and Bryce immediately blushed, causing laughter to escap
AliceOpening my eyes has never been more of a daunting task than it currently was. The sun was blinding, and I had a splitting headache. What happened last night...? I squinted my eyes and tried moving, but that is when I noticed I could not move, someone was holding me close to them.I turned to look at the culprit, and found it to be Zayn, immediately easing my senses. A smile found itself on my face as I cuddled into his warmth, causing a low raspy growl to escape his lips as he pulled me closer by my waist.I was flush against him, and I could feel his excitement rubbing against me, which caused me to blush. He did not seem to mind though, because he lowered his head to the back of my neck, kissing it softly, as if I was the most fragile thing this world had to offer.“Good morning princess.” Zayn finally spoke up, his voice husky from sleep, and gosh did it sound sexy.“Good morning handsome.” I answered, causing a smirk to form on his face.“I’m going to head downstairs, and ma
KaitlynMy eyes creaked open to the sound of metal creaking. I squinted as it was still dark out, and all I could make out was a cell door opening, and someone getting out of it. It suddenly hit me that the person who left the cell was Tristan, and my heart skipped a beat.I was about to speak, when he got closer to my cell, but he shushed me.“Hey there babe, look at what I got.” He proclaimed as he opened up his hand, letting a key fall, and it dangled by the keychain on his fingers, as it swayed with momentum.“How did y...” I wanted to ask, but he cut me off holding up his hand.“I stole it from the guard when he walked away after the prisoner used me. I swiped it just in time as well. Anyway, let us get out of this sh*t hole. If it is revenge she wants, then it is revenge she will get.” Tristan stated, and in my opinion, I think he has lost his mind due to the trauma he was faced with, being sent down here.“Are you crazy?! We are going to get caught, they will find us.” I tried
AliceWhat a day... We have been trying to find those two for the past few hours, and it looked like they had been missing since last night. Faced with this situation, I found myself a little afraid, but I suppose that was how they wanted me to feel.I worried about what plan my ex and his mate had conjured up this time. It is not like it is the first time they pulled a big stunt like this. I sighed in frustration, and I had a very bad feeling about this...Where would they even go? It’s not like they had another pack that would be willing to take them in, right? Well, I guess there were rogue groups that would be willing to add another two members, so they could grow in numbers.I heard there was this leader among the rogues, and I heard that he was planning an attack on all the pack, but no one has ever seen this guy, and no one knows who he is, but for all we knew, he could just be another rumour that the rogues had conjured up to scare us.I sighed as I walked to Zayn’s office, wo
ZaynI stood up, and my nerves seemed to have gotten the better of me, because I was shaking like a leaf, but there was no turning back now, not after coming all this way. It was now or never, and I definitely did not want it to be never.“Alice Kent, would you do me the honour, of taking my hand in marriage tomorrow?” I asked, dropping the question that I had been waiting to ask her ever since the day I had first laid my eyes upon her stunning beauty.“You do not have to say yes! I…” I wanted to finish as I saw the panicked expression she gave me, but she stopped me.“Calm down... Zayn... I would love to.” She stated, as she leaned in closer, and captured my lips in hers, but we both knew who would end up dominating the kiss. The kiss was filled with passion and love, as the cascading waters of the river sounded in the background, filling our ears like an endless melody.The kiss was romantic in every sense, and I needed to show her just how much I really loved her. She had been thro
AliceWalking back to the pack house took a little while, but we eventually found our way back, and just in time too. It was getting dark outside and as we neared the pack house, I felt my curiosity growing. What exactly did he mean by surprise?“Thank you for today. I really needed it.” Zayn spoke up, seeming tired from all the work he had to do for the pack.“Of course, and I should be thanking you! You even turned going for a walk, into going on a date.” A sexy grin spread across his face at my words, and I was sure that he enjoyed the praise.“Well, it is only fair for the most breathtaking and special woman in my life to be spoiled by her mate, do you not agree?” His question made me blush, causing his grin to only grow wider.“I... I agree.” My answer hung in the air, and the silence that accompanied it was deafening.He smirked as we headed toward our room inside the pack house, and I could see a faint light coming from inside. He opened the door, and ushered me inside, telling
ZaynHours ticked by as we played the games and slowly got more intoxicated. Not much has changed in the last couple of years that have passed...I wish I could say that I had started to cope with the death of my mate, but I still missed her every day, and nothing was going to change that. With that being said, I found myself feeling a lot better than I had a couple of years ago, and Delilah has grown quite a bit.“Dadda! Look! Look!” She came running towards us with something enclosed in her hands, and I was nervous to discover what she was hiding.Children did not always come across the best of things, and once something catches their attention, they rarely let it go. She held out her little hands, and slowly opened them to reveal a white lunar moth. It sat still in her hands, and I was amazed by the intricate designs on its wings.It was truly a sight to behold, and she had grown up to look just like her mother did when we were all a little younger.“It looks very pretty sweetheart
Haley Everything does not always go according to plan, it seems, because here I was, taking care of the kids. Zayn had come in after spending the day with his little ray of sunshine, and he left her with me. All the guys went out to go and get a couple of stuff from the stores, whilst the rest of us stayed to babysit.It honestly sounded fair, and I could not exactly complain about the current circumstances, although I would have liked to spend just one evening relaxing. The kids have been keeping us up all night every night, and little Delilah keeps screaming for her bottle every ten minutes, so, I made sure that all of them tired themselves out, and were rushed to bed.Thankfully, they did not resist as I ushered them upstairs to their room. We walked in, and they immediately headed towards their beds, which I was even more thankful for. After tucking them in, I made my way to Delilah’s room, and placed her in the crib.“Good night little one.” I smiled as I whispered good night, a
HaleyPulling out weeds and trimming vines was tasking to say the least. I was dirty and sweaty, and I now knew why she spent so much time in here...With that being said, I finally finished after a couple of hours, and the garden looked almost barren in contrast to its original overgrown state. I found that poetic. I got up with a soft grunt, and made my way to the backdoor of the pack house. I looked back towards the garden to admire my work, and I knew that Alice would have been proud.I took off all the dirty gardening gear that I had on, and put it aside for now, whilst I made my way to the shower. I just could not stand feeling that dirty. I know, ironic, isn’t it? A werewolf that does not like to be dirty. What a joke.I got into the shower, and made sure to wash any and all pieces of dirt that had accumulated on my body throughout the day. After a few minutes of scrubbing, I finally turned off the water, and as soon as I stepped out of the shower, I instantly felt like a new p
ZaynI woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and I was met with a face full of sunlight blinding me through my closed eyelids. I think I drank too much last night, because all I can remember was how I started, and as things stood now, I did not even know where I was currently lying down, but I had to get up. So, I guess we were about to find out.I turned around, so the sunlight did not hit my face, and I slowly opened my eyes. I rubbed the sleep out of them, trying to recall last night’s events, because I had a massive headache pounding away at my skull, which probably meant that I was hungover. I forced myself to get up, and realized that I had passed out on the couch.Well... I suppose there are worse places that I could have woken up in, like the bathroom, or somewhere on the floor. I stretched, and the headache worsened, much to my dismay. I suppose I should go get coffee and start my morning. The walk to the kitchen was rather short, and I soon found myself facing the coffee m
ZaynI am not going to lie, this was a massive surprise, and I did not expect them to remember, or to even care about my birthday. It looks like they proved me wrong, because I did not even remember my own birthday, so to say I was surprised would be an understatement.With that being said, the place was beautifully decorated, and the appetizers were delicious. You can tell that they put a lot of work into all of this, and I was really grateful for everything that they had done for me so far. They were really great friends, and I appreciated every little thing that they did for me.We chatted, and enjoyed each other’s company for the rest of the night, and eventually the time came for us to open the presents. I smiled as Haley and Bryce handed me theirs, and I was very curious to see what they had gotten me. As I unwrapped the package, I could see that they had gotten me an album filled with photos of what I assumed were sentimental memories, as well as a new phone, and a couple of sw
HaleyKaitlyn and I were busy setting up the decorations while Cole was busy arranging the snacks, and Bryce was keeping Zayn busy. It was all starting to come together, and I was actually impressed by how everything had turned out so far.“I think it looks good, what about you?” Kaitlyn finished putting up some of the lights, as she hopped off of the ladder, and walked closer to where I was standing. She turned to face the lights, and inspect them as she slowly nodded to show her approval.“Yeah! I think it looks great. Let’s go see what Cole is up to, and how far he has come with the food preparations.” I nodded in response to her suggestion, and we made our way to the kitchen where we found Cole helping out with the plating of the food.He looked like he enjoyed it, and we decided to leave him to it whilst we made our way back to the living room. I suppose we have to check in with Bryce as well, seeing as we need to know how much time we have left. We were almost done anyway.“Hey
Bryce“Do you really think that he forgot about what today is?” I asked Haley, knowing that she would most likely be able to confirm our suspicions.“I believe so, I mean usually he would be excited, and he would force everyone to tell him happy birthday, but he seemed out of it today.” Haley explained, and just as I was about to answer her, Kaitlyn made her way into the kitchen.“What are we talking about so secretly?” She smiled softly. She looks a lot different than she had before the death of Alice. It could be that she has finally matured mentally. She could also be trying her best to stay afloat, and not get dragged down into the deep, dark hole known as depression.Whatever the case, her whole demeanour changed, and she acts like a completely new person because of it.“We were just discussing the fact that it is a certain someone’s birthday, and he seems that he has forgotten. Either that, or he willfully chose not to celebrate his birthday this year.” Kaitlyn nodded, before si
ZaynWe arrived at the pack, and I could not wait to get this over with. I was not looking forward to discussing a peace treaty, and I definitely was not in the mood to negotiate certain terms. These people couldn't care less about the fact that I had lost my Luna, and the funny thing is, that I know, once it happens to them, they will be seeking comfort in those they had no compassion for.With that being said, we were greeted by the guards of the pack, and we were escorted to meet with Jace, the Alpha of the Crimson Fangs. We were told to wait in what looked to be a dining room, and there were various foods prepared to eat, not that I was particularly interested in eating right now.“Welcome! I had no idea you guys were going to come this quickly. How have things been lately?” Jace knew exactly how I was doing, and I wanted to punch him in the face, but I refrained from doing so, seeing as that would not be a wise thing to do. We were in his territory after all.“Things have been go
ZaynAfter the funeral, everyone in the pack’s moods seemed to have dulled, and who could blame them? I mean... there’s not much you can do except mourn the person that has departed from your life. No longer having Alice here really did make that much of a difference, and the people missed her greatly.I wish there was more we could do, but it seems that we have done all that we can for now. Everyone went back to their respective homes and businesses, whilst I sat in front of her grave.I do not know how long I had spent trying to make sense of it all, and I do not know how long I sat at her grave, but it must have been a while, because nightfall was quickly approaching, and I was still sitting here. Motionless, empty, and for once in my life, I was at a loss for words.I sighed, and with a hole in my chest, I made my way back to the pack house, and made my way to bed. Today was tiring and emotionally draining, and I did not have the energy to fight with anyone. I also did not have th
