Ruby was apprehensive throughout the rest of the day and even at night, she couldn't sleep as her dreams were plagued with one nightmare after another. She did not dare go near Lolita's room to call her out for dinner. There was no saying that the snake wouldn't just bite her for disturbing them with her knocks. She couldn't help wondering how Lolita did it but one thing she was sure of is that Lolita is a child of mystery. From her deeds at a young age till now, Ruby knew she shouldn't be awed by her anymore. However, the snake issue is something she would definitely enquire about once Lolita comes down.As Ruby was tossing and turning in her sleep due to nightmares, Lolita was having the most confusing dream ever. She couldn't understand anything going on and just couldn't help asking herself over and over "How did I get here?"She was suddenly standing in a very beautiful garden with a few servants plucking some rare and unidentifiable herbs for an extremely beautiful lady. Loli
Lolita wished everything she saw was just a figment of her imagination, and that the dream was just her mind playing tricks on her. However, deep down in her heart, she knew she wasn't an ordinary human. Her thoughts were jumbled, but she did not allow them to get the better of her. After dressing and coming down to the dining room, Lolita noticed that the atmosphere was extremely tense but couldn't tell what the issue was. She had still not processed the encounter Ruby had with the black mamba. However, seeing her pale expression, she became concerned and asked worriedly "Are you okay?" Ruby didn't know what to say because she knew it would sound extremely rude for her to confront Lolita about something she brought to her own home. She was just a servant after all. Despite that restoration, Ruby's emotions got the better of her and she spoke matter of fact "I couldn't sleep throughout the night"Lolita was about to ask what could be bothering her when she suddenly had a flash and
Ortiz stood before the Alpha and tried to say something else but he couldn't find the words to speak, neither could he find his voice. He knew exactly how the Alpha feels at the moment and only wish he could do something to help. He had never seen Gavin so incapacitated since they came to know each other at a very tender age. Seeing him so vulnerable at the moment makes him realize what a failure he had been at protecting his alpha. Passing by Alpha Gavin's chambers on a daily basis, Ortiz saw how he struggled for his life every single one of those days. Ortiz was quiet as he watched his Alpha brooding and tried as much as possible to have no eye contact with Gavin because his emotions may betray him when he looks into his eyes.Gavin stated matter of fact, "Is that pity I see in your eyes?" Ortiz was startled and immediately responded "Not at all my Lord! I wouldn't dare!"Just then Wesley walked in and also bowed, then repeated exactly what Or
"Kuralis! What are you hiding from me?" Kendra forgot that she was also keeping her son's state of health from him and has been evading the topic since she got here. Gavin didn't try to hide anything from his mother, nor did he tell her too much about what was going on. For instance, Gavin didn't tell his mother about decay being used on him, nor is Kendra aware that her son was nearly killed in the Hardwood forest as a result of decay.Gavin is well aware of the fact that Ortiz or Wesley might have told his sister, but Minnie would never tell their mother about it. The last thing Kurah would do is to make Kendra worry about them. She already has too much on her plate as it is. All Kendra knows is that Gavin was attacked at the Dark-dawn Avenue and the battle was a very fierce one that got all the rogues killed and placed her son on death's door. However, neither Wesley nor Ortiz told the Luna about the real culprit behind the attack. As they tried to avoid panic till the Alpha re
If for anything, Drusilla sees the Dark-dawn pack as more of a home or even a better family than where she was born and raised like a dog, for something which was totally beyond her control. From the Alpha's daughter to an omega may be a drastic change for many. The two seem to be worlds apart. However, she has never been happier to be a servant than she is now.Drusilla entered the room to see Alpha Gavin closing his eyes as though he was asleep. Knowing he is drifting off to sleep gradually, she walks with light and very cautious steps as she packs everything out of the room in utmost quietness. After exiting the room, she then sends a text message stating "it's done!"On the other end, relief washed over her when she saw the message which caused her to jump up and down, clapping her hands and laughing like a maniac. Her apprehensions and sleepless nights would be over from this moment forward. For Gavin to wake up within a month means that he would make a full recovery. It would
"Alpha… Luna Kendra requested that… I… I take your permission and run an errand for her in the stables… Kindly permit me to attend to her request." Wesley spoke in such a slow manner that he could swear that Alpha Gavin would catch on to the lie he was telling. However, Alpha Gavin said no word to expose the stuttering beta. He only looks at Ortiz and queries with his gaze, "what about you?" The man was so flustered that Gavin would have felt his fluctuations if he had been in perfect health. However, everything was currently written all over his face, he was nervous as hell. Ortiz didn't have any prior discussion with Wesley, but the latter had just saved himself and left the former on the leash. Ortiz felt that Wesley should have told the alpha about Luna summoning both of them, which would have been a better escape for both of them at the same time. They would have killed two birds with one stone.Ortiz smiles nervously and begins a ridiculous speech as well, "Erm… Alpha Gavin… I
Extremely lost in deep thought, Drucilla couldn't believe what was happening. She covered her mouth with both hands as she kept trembling beside Alpha Gavin. Her emotions have really gone through so many different levels of excitement since she stepped into the alpha's chambers this morning. She was initially flustered, was extremely scared, became shocked, then undisguised embarrassment engulfed her entire being finally. However, looking at the situation before her, she feels raw dread like nothing she has ever felt before. She couldn't help the tremor that consumed her body, as nothing could ever wipe the scene out of her mind. The trauma could never be forgotten. "Alpha… please… don't… you can't get any closer… it would be detrimental to your health… you don't know what this is…. I mean… You'll get hurt" Drucilla continues to mumble various words of caution, as well as moving backward step by step. She was so terrified that she didn't notice she had said more than enough. She had
"Come on… I hear it's going to be fun… I really wish to go… but I can't go alone… mmm!" Minnie kept pestering Lolita to go to the medical school freshers' welcome party with her. This party has been a long way coming. She didn't feel like going there alone, at least, not without her good friend, which would make her completely left out and unable to fit in. What would Lolita be doing alone at home anyway?The only person Kurah wants to go with is Lolita Clint, and she wouldn't want to have it any other way. Kurah noticed how Lolita was always brooding and kept to herself, without smiling much. She noticed that Lolita had a deep feeling of loss in her heart, however, she felt the need to help her through it, so that she could genuinely smile once again. She felt so attached to her young friend that she had a feeling she needed to make her happy at all costs. Weird, right?"So... let's pick something for you to wear… okay" Kurah immediately began scrambling for something presentable fo
"Your what?" Lolita screamed in alarm. "He is my brother, Lolita," Kurah responded. Then she watched her friend's expression change from shock to anger, and to many more emotions hidden in her eyes that Kurah didn't dare to probe. She continued in a small voice, "I always spoke to you about him, right? Now you remember him, don't you? Lolita, please help me. Please!" "What the f**k? Alpha Gavin is your brother? He is Kuralis?" Lolita blurted out in anger. She couldn't help asking animatedly, "Is this a joke? Kurah, is this a joke? If it might interest you to know that your dear brother ordered the murder of my grandmother. You can ask his two sidekicks for the details."Lolita was so angry that she wanted Kurah to know she would do nothing to save Gavin, not even if he was her brother. "I'll tell you this, there is nothing I'll do to save your brother. You already know how much I hate him.I gave him a gift once, now I take it back. Sorry, Kurah, but I can't help you." Kurah was to
"Such a sissy" Lolita blurted under her breath. She knew Gavin wasn't weak, but she still couldn't understand how a single shot from her could render the young man so powerless. Then again, she couldn't help thinking, "what just happened?" "How was I able to cast that spell just now? What's going on?" Lolita was confused about how she could cast such a high-class spell, and to top it all off, she did it without any mistakes. The issue is that she had never learned magic, and neither had she ever been in contact with anything magic. So the situation was still strange to her. "What the heck?" Venom blurted in wonder. Lolita could feel his fluctuations but chose to ignore the nuisance. She would deal with Venom later on. "Tsk! I thought he was a real man. Come along if you wish to" Lolita said to no one in particular. When she took her bag and was about to walk out of the place, she suddenly spotted Kurah being supported by a maid. She was walking slowly, a guard in tow. "Mtchew! You
When Lolita saw Gavin for the first time in months, she expected to see something about him that spoke of his guilt or even a dark heart to show he was capable of what he did to her grandmother. However, Lolita found no malice in his heart, no hidden evil, no darkness, not even an iota of guilt for a wrongful act committed. Yet, she couldn't allow her grandmother's killer to go scot-free, just because he had no malice in his heart. Lolita swore to make sure the guilty party pays, and that is exactly what she will do. "You must be enjoying what's going on huh?" Lolita declared as she released another poisoned arrow at Gavin, who dodged it as effortlessly as usual. She expected to see nothing less than a scratch, but even that didn't happen. Gavin still shifted effortlessly from where he was, and she couldn't be more pissed than she already was. She thought it was effortless, but only Gavin knew how focused he had to be, resulting in the use of much inner strength that he couldn't wa
A strong current could suddenly be felt by Gavin, who ducked to the side immediately. He was almost caught off-guard by the poisoned arrow that got embedded in a pillar behind him. Gavin took a brief look at the arrow and cursed under his breath, "fu*k! An intruder in here?" Beta Ortiz looked on in utter dismay, as he tried his best to pinpoint the location of the intruder. He also, just like Gavin, couldn't tell how an intruder could breach the gates and come as far as the Alpha's chamber without being caught. Gavin tried to locate the intruder, but a familiar scent wafted into his nostrils. He disregarded it and chastised himself for smelling something that was only in his mind. What a time to zone off, he thought. After a brief moment of being in deep thought, he felt another arrow aiming for his chest. He still ducked away and saw this arrow embedded in the brick wall just where he was standing. He couldn't imagine how someone could be so bold and skilled at the same time. Gav
"Venom, why are you against burning down this city? Are you for real? What are you hiding from me? Talk to me, damn it." Lolita did everything possible to get venom to speak up, but there was no response from him. She could only step out frustrated. She knew that Venom knew something she didn't know, but the damn snake wouldn't speak up. She had the sudden urge to step on its head or even strangle it. "How could something so tiny have such a big ego?" Lolita said in a soft voice. Venom wasn't offended, but was rather taken aback. He quickly announced his presence by reminding Lolita, "I'm right here, you know?" Lolita rolled her eyes internally and retorted, "Do I care?" Venom then chose to remain quiet, as Lolita had already cut the mind link she had with him. He could forcefully invade her thoughts, but decided against it. Venom still maintained that Lolita needed to take things easy, as she had to be extremely sure that the people of Dark-Dawn Avenue are as terrible as she thou
"What are you doing here?" Lily asked Lolita aggressively. She was startled to see the little girl walking so freely in the dark kitchen as though she was a creature of the dark. Lolita ignored her, only for her to reiterate, "I'm talking to you, Lolita Clint!" She was angry because Lolita ignored and treated her like she was air. As if there was no one else in the kitchen but her, Lolita reached for her food and made a move to walk out of the kitchen. She was at a crossroads and had to return quickly to check on what the satellite images had to offer. She deftly maneuvered her way around the seething team member and walked back to her room. She kept her aloof expression all through her encounter with the student till she got to her room. As a result, Lily didn't suspect a thing.However, Lolita felt that she had just chanced on a strange occurrence. As she was deep in thought, the memories of the vampire princess came rushing into her mind, and she quickly made sense of the situat
Wolfsbane's benefits to a werewolf can never be compared to the numerous adverse effects it has on them. It is rather one of their worst nightmares. Rogues usually dilute it to weaken themselves when they realize they may get out of hand and hurt people wantonly. Losing control of oneself would mean that the Dark-Dawn Pack would locate them without any difficulty.Even in that case, the wolfsbane is diluted in water. A small pinch could be diluted with as much as a liter of water. Only a little portion is needed to acquire the necessary result. Meanwhile, when wolfsbane touches a wolf's body, it causes the spot to burn and spread rapidly. Healing from such a burn is extremely slow, even though wolves have regenerative abilities.Wolves in Dark-Dawn Avenue, however, have never needed to use Wolfsbane, as the full moon doesn't have any adverse effect on them. Minnie Kurah Smith was fed a huge amount of wolfsbane that could be diluted in about a thousand liters of water. The situation
"Welcome to Dark-Dawn Avenue! I'll be your guard, your chauffeur, and your call-to guy in case you need anything. What I'm saying is, I'm your only contact in Wolftown where we are headed. Everyone, you can call me Tom." The young wolf dedicated to the group had just been given the chance to take the outsiders around his home country, and he couldn't be any happier. His excitement made him blubber non-stop. Fiona couldn't hold in her displeasure as she blurted out carelessly, "What the heck? Are they trying to make us crazy?" She rolled her eyes afterward and looked elsewhere, as a result, everyone caught onto what she wanted to say, except Tom. To dissuade the tense atmosphere, The Team Leader quickly walked to Tom and offered his hand. "Hello, nice to have you show us around. Please take good care of us!" Everyone on the team rolled their eyes in their heads as they all tried to imagine how Tom was going to take them around peacefully, without saying too many unnecessary things
"Wow! She's so awesome. I just cannot believe my eyes. How are we even supposed to perform if we have such a pro in the group?" "I could watch her all day without getting tired!""Guys, I'm wondering, which did she start practicing from the womb first? Was it archery, shooting, or even martial arts? Seriously, I feel so defeated right now." "Comparison kills indeed. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" "To think she's only sixteen. I feel like I've wasted my life. What was I even doing all these years?" The students didn't bother to even hush their voices when they were discussing Lolita's performance. No one understood why Master Kai called for them until they witnessed everything.All of them were awed by Lolita's skills, but one person who commented about her archery techniques in a tone filled with envy. She didn't even attempt to hide it. "Do your arrows have eyes or something? Because I don't see any other reason why you should be so good." Lolita ignored the hater and bid goodbye to everyone.
