Lolita bade farewell to her grandmother as she promised to be back early for dinner. Fully clad in all-black attire, a black top with a matching black jacket, accompanied by her black trousers, she was ready for the usual. There is no way her backpack was not black. Oh yeah! Did I mention that her motorbike was also black? Guess I just did. Lolita had no way of explaining her feelings at the moment because she is accustomed to doing such random things that surprisingly lead to very positive outcomes. At the moment, she only feels a certain urgency like never before, to rush to the Hardwood forest without the least bit of knowledge of what to expect out there. Due to the sense of crisis, Lollita sped above the speed limit on her unbranded custom-made motorbike. A wolf needs saving, so she thought. There was no patrol team on the road leading to the Hardwood forest as no patrol vehicles ever bothered coming towards the area around Hardwood forest unless on request. Moreover, the
It was already past nine o'clock p.m when Lolita made it back home with her human baggage strapped to her back on her motorcycle. Thankfully, the whole town was indoors, as everyone was yet to recover from a bear attack on some residents which occurred the previous night. As a result, everyone went indoors immediately after the sunset.It was this same reason that Lolita met many town folks along her way to the Hardwood forest. Smallville as the name sounds may seem like a small town, however, it is not so. It is a town of about fifty-thousand residents. The town may not be as busy or fancy as the big towns, but it is not so lacking in the things all the big towns could boast of. There are a number of hospitals, schools from all levels to tertiary, banks, various recreational centers, a police station, and many more. The incident that got the residents all worked up, occurred the previous day, when a wounded bear rushed into the town, vandalized properties, and injured two polic
Realizing the gazes of the two on him, Gavin schools his expression and gave them a furious glare that makes them scared silly. Lolita remained silent and feigned oblivion to their small interactions. However, she urged them to leave quickly with her eyes. Gavin realized that they had overstayed their welcome and needed to leave immediately. They had to leave so Lolly and her grandmother could live. The enemy is still lurking out there after all. The duo dressed their Alpha and helped him down the bed. "We'll take our leave now miss...we are very grateful" They still bowed to Lolita as they made their way out the door. As Gavin reached the door, he turned towards Lolita and says once again "thank you" before stuffing an inconspicuous-looking wolf pendant into her hands and leaving without looking back. Lolita was distracted by the series of actions because as Gavin approached her, she felt a disturbance in her whole body but couldn't quite place her hands on what it was. She wa
Spotting the figure in the familiar outfit, Lolita gave an ear-piercing scream, filled with nothing but pain and regret. "Aaaahhhhhhhhh!" Onlookers couldn't help feeling sorry for Lolita. Since little Lolly was born, it has been her grandmother from day one. Her mother, Monica Clint, disappeared from the hospital on the day she gave birth to Lolita. She was named Lolita because it has always been the name that Monica longed to give her daughter if she ever had one. Before her reappearance in the town of Smallville, Monica Clint, a celebrated archaeologist in the whole of Green Crest, left on another one of her expeditions. She later returned, heavily pregnant, after a year. The town folks had never seen a father figure in the life of Lolita Clint, for the past sixteen years. Even her mother was never found again after she delivered her. The police closed her case after seven years of searching, as it had crossed the threshold for the case of a living person. Monica Clint was th
Everyone reluctantly dispersed after the firefighters finished putting out the flames. They all extended an invitation to spend the night in their homes, but Lolita only shook her head to indicate her refusal. She wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. What's the difference between where she spends the night?Everyone then took it to mean that, she would rather prefer to be with the family of Xavier, her childhood friend. Lolita, on the other hand, had different plans. She sat on the floor, quietly staring into space, as uncontrollable tears streamed down her beautiful cheeks. Xavier knew that there was no helping it, his friend was heartbroken at the moment. He decided to remain invisible, as he lends her his silent support. This, no words were enough to soothe her pain. Out of nowhere, Lolita spoke to Xavier for the first time tonight, "go home." She didn't wait for his response when she suddenly stood up and walked towards the garage where her motorbike was parked. The front of t
Alpha Orsin had always been hostile towards Alpha Gavin and the Dark-Dawn Pack.There was a time when wolf attacks took the airwaves by storm. There were reports of rural dwellers being attacked by a pack of wolves.There were highway robberies by rogue wolves who had no regard for human life. Rape was a regular among all the ills of the rogues.Counting on their superior strength, the rogues placed the whole country of Greencrest in unnecessary fear and panic.The humans had no idea about the presence of werewolves in their midst and attributed the happenings to a wolf virus, affecting the animals.The chaos remained so until the Dark-Dawn and Blue Fiend Packs came to the rescue.Both the Dark-Dawn and Blue Fiend Packs fought and annexed all other smaller wolf Packs.Therefore, there was enough order in the world of the werewolves.The two Packs under, the lead of the previous alphas, signed a treaty to stay out of each other's business and never cross each other.The spoils of war, i
The superimposed is supposed to manifest the powers of an elf, a vampire, and a werewolf. Before Celine, the vampire princess died, she had the pendant which contains the superimposed abilities of Annabel, the elf princess, Celine the vampire princess, and Monella, the werewolf royal.Celine was killed, with the pendant on her neck, but she did nothing to change her fate.Celine only prayed for the chosen one to save her realm from the hands of the war that had totally engulfed it, being fully aware that she had neared the end of her road, in this journey of life.The sacrifices of the three princesses could not be left in vain. For that matter, after her death, the pendant was pulled by the strong force that attracted it to the destined wielder of the power it holds. With the last bit of strength left in her, her consciousness, Celine helped to redirect the superimposed abilities to who could wield them best, for the betterment of her realm. Right now, the only hope of the mystic
After Lolita cried her heart out, she felt terribly exhausted but couldn't even fall asleep. It was still daytime after all. She dressed herself in an all-black outfit as usual and stepped out towards the training ring of the Greenville University. There were many teenagers on the campus, as people usually visit their families anytime they wished to. Even some high school students go there for sight seeing, as they may wish to explore this school that has been the dream of so many of them. Therefore, it was not a surprise to see so many young faces in the school at this time.Lolita among the crowd, seemed like a high school student who was there for sightseeing and inspiration. However, she is the best scorer for the recent University entrance exam for the whole of Greenville. She was surprisingly comfortable in her all-black pants with a white shirt and an equally black jacket. As Lolita neare
"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.
