(BRAD’S POV)“Nah! Hell No dude!” Rico, Henry’s cousin said as he shook his head and tried to close the door he had only held open for some seconds. His eyes had initially been wearing a smile when he saw Henry but immediately he saw Bella, his expression changedz“Rico Please.” Henry begged using his foot to hold the door open. “My wife is in there. Why the fuck are you bringing a dead girl over to my house? Are you crazy?” Rico said angrily as he came out and closed the door behind him after pushing Henry backwards. “She’s not dead! She’s only drunk!” I said immediately. Rico stayed unmoving with his eyes just watching Bella as she lay in my arms . “Please Rico, we don’t have anywhere else to go. We would be in so much trouble if we go to anyone else for help.” Henry begged. Bella started muttering to herself and that seemed to make Rico feel better about it.“You owe me big time. You know what that means.” Rico said as he signaled us to follow him.“He wants some cash.” Henry
(Part 1) Alpha Lionel sat in anguish and sadness while the others argued. He couldn’t hear a word they were saying, all he could think about was that the tame woods pack was no more and he still hadn’t rested on it. He still couldn’t believe it. He just saw Alpha Tay yesterday along with his Beta. They were all here together and the meeting ended hopefully and even Alpha Tay had told him that together they would end this war with Alpha X. Alpha Lionel began to feel guilty. If he hadn’t brought the idea of the neighboring packs relocating temporarily to Silver woods till the war was over then Alpha Tay and his pack members wouldn’t have been ambushed a few hours ago. ‘Alpha?’ His beta, Jared slightly shook him. He snapped out of his thoughts and realized that everywhere was quiet now. He sighed, they expected him to say something. ‘Don’t blame yourself, Lionel.’ Alpha Kane said. He was the Alpha of Mist woods and a good friend of Alpha Lionel’s. Well they were all good friends, all
Senior year is going to be one of the best years of my life. I know, today is only my first day but how could it not be a wonderful year? Grandma gave me an early present for my eighteenth birthday which is in two months. She got me a cute red convertible! Even though just during the summer she had refused me asking for a car and told me I wouldn’t be getting one till I was going off to college. I can’t wait to see the look on Tony’s face when I drive into the parking lot with my awesome ride. I had texted him last night telling him not to pick me up this morning because I had a surprise for him in school. I know I’m early, Grandma hadn’t come up to check on me like she does every morning before I leave for school. Well good days have to start early, don’t they? I take one last look at my self in the mirror and wink at my reflection before going downstairs for breakfast. As I approach the hallway, I can hear voices speaking in hums and hushed tones. The kitchen door is shut and as I
Everything that happened within the past 24 hours is still blurry to me. And I am still unclear about my situation. Grandma, Kelt, Sheryl and I boarded a plane leaving New York to Canada. Then we took the longest drive, I have ever been in in my entire life. Night came and it started raining, we had been driving in the woods for three hours. I guess that was when I got overwhelmed realizing that this was all true, that I was a werewolf? And so was Grandma? And we were going to the land of werewolves. I might never see the lights of New York city again, or any city for that matter. I might never see my friends again or go to the movies or starbucks. I might never see Tony again or I might be dead soon. I began to cry lightly. Grandma wrapped her arms around me pulling me into a hug, I rested my head on her laps and cried softly while she stroke my hair. She apologized over a thousand times for not telling me who I really was and told me that remembering it all broke her heart and mad
CHAPTER 3 Time seems to be moving faster than usual, maybe this is so because I am still floating about my new reality unable to fully comprehend what is happening. The mansion we were taken to has to be one of the most beautiful and fanciest I have ever stepped foot in. It’s exquisite and Lavish interior décor had me wondering who it was that lived here. Old fashioned Lamp attached to Lamp holders stand in most corners of the room. Even though most if not all of the lamps were turned off, the house was lit by mini sized chandeliers at top corners of the ceiling. And the leather furniture had a nice feel to them. The house is classy and beautiful period. My room looks like a princess’s room. It has a king sized four poster bed, it’s walls are painted pink and a large balcony. The whole town seems to be dark and asleep. What do i call it? A town? A village? A werewolf city? Grandma’s story comes back rushing to my head. The horrible story I was told hours ago. It w
CHAPTER 4 You will be disappointed to find out I spent my night shivering in fear of the return of the large dark wolf I had an encounter with. I was up most of the night and I could not move an inch. In fact, I almost could not let myself breathe scared that he was around and coming in at one of the times. I wanted to run to Grandma but as I am still unfamiliar with my environment I am in so I did not want to risk running through the mansion halls in confusion while that wolf sprang out of somewhere. When Grandma came to wake me up this morning, I had myself wrapped tightly in my sheets and I had a headache. Grandma starred at me strangely as I opened my eyes. I sat up and stretched yawning. ‘Good morning grandma.’ I said and Grandma sat on the edge of my bed with a worried expression. ‘Morning baby.’ She said. ‘Is everything okay?’ She said and put an arm around my shoulders. ‘Mhmm.’ I reply nodding my head. ‘Why?’ She raises and eyebrow at me, ‘You look like you
When Sheryl, Grandma and I got into the car, I was a little excited that we would be following the busy part of Silverwoods, the part I and Grandma were looking at from my balcony earlier on. I was anxious to see more of the pack members, to see how they live. It does not mean that I am interested, just simply curious. But Sheryl surprised me by taking a tarred road on the left. I felt disappointed but grandma did not. Even though this path was lonely with trees and woods that looked colorful with different colors and types of climbing flowers, she looked fascinated by it. I understood that she had missed her home so much. We got to a manor mansion and Grandma and I got down while Sheryl drove off after telling us the guards will lead us in. And they did. I walked into a large spaced office room and noticed 6 pairs of eyes starring at me. Kelt and Sheryl stood side by side leaning against the wall with their dark hair pulled back into a low bun and complimenting their
I can not remember the last time I had a proper good night’s sleep. My second night just went by and it was far from pleasant. The Anxiety of beginning in my new school has me all in twists. And my disappointment meeting with the keepers has been unable to get out of my mind too. The Alpha Especially, he must be one of the most annoying human beings I have ever met. Alpha Vane had decided that we would all meet again by the end of the week at the Alpha Mansion. He had walk up to me after the meeting and I thought he was going to come over to say something but he just walked right pass me with that stupid smirk on his face and a whisper. ‘Let’s see how much you like to kick ass.’ Of course no one noticed, grandma had left me to talk to some of the keepers while I waited for her. And that was how my meeting went with them. Grandma and Sheryl tried to be chatty in the car. Telling me how nice it is that I finally get to go to silverwoods high just like my mum and grandma

(ANNIE’S POV)“Well I really think that you should not be listening to what anyone says.” Jessica said as we walked home.By anyone, she was actually referring to Keeper Tana.“And If Janelle was the one who had won the match and you had been carried out looking like a dead leaf, then I know that she would not have complained.” Jessica said.As much as I was feeling guilty, I had to admit that Jessica was actually right. Keeper Tana was being very partial towards me. During the last match we had, she was the one who had subjected me to an open fight without letting me agree, that’s not among the rules to begin with.Then on top of that, she did not even show the slightest bit of care “I don’t know why she doesn’t lien me.” I admitted to Jessica.“Oh! You should not bother yourself, really.” Jessica said with a wave of her hand. “I don’t really think Tana likes anyone to begin with.”“Yeah I understand but she’s just so anti towards me.” I said sadly.“Well you should not let that br
(ANNIE’S POV)The whole room was as silent as a graveyard and it was almost like no one was going to say a word. All their gazes had now focused on me. Even Keeper Tana looked like she was surprised to see that I stood up from my seat. “Annie. Please don’t let Janelle get to you. Annie.” Jessica tried to call me in a whisper but I did not listen to her. “I will be okay.” I whispered to her quickly.Then, I simply walked in ahead to stand opposite Janelle.Janelle was surprised as well at first but then a sly smile climbed on her face as she spun her hair in to bun. I did the same with my hair.“I have to say, I didn’t expect that you would be persistent. At least you have one thing above you that matches being a chosen one. As for me, Getting to beat you two times in one week?” Janelle said with a laugh. “That would be a Great pleasure for me .”“Annie, you should not let your ego get in between you. Sometimes we lose fights, sometimes we win.” I could hear Keeper Tana’s voice from
(ANNIE’S POV)Grandma made sure that I spent two more days at home without going to school after my mate. She had seen some bruises on my body and was bent on making me spend time to recover properly at home.The only thing that made me sad about it was the fact that I had not gotten to see Jessica yet.Grandma said she wanted me to rest but she had no idea that I was still finding a way to keep practicing day and night. Nothing was going to stop me. Not even her strictness. So, when she finally let me out on the third day and inspected me as I got ready to leave for school, I hoped that she would not notice anything about my looks again.“You look well rested. I know it’s combat day today but please be careful.” She said to me giving me a hug.I actually felt excited to return back to school and when I saw Jessica, I was even more excited.“If i did not see you today, I was going to make sure that I killed Seth.” Jessica said as she slung her arm around me and we walked together to
(VANE’S POV)The moment I got indoors, I dumped the bags on a table and let out a loud growl as I paced about the open space. I wanted to yell. I wanted to fight. I wanted to break things. I wanted to snap a tree in to two. How dare he? How dare he?“Young Alpha?” Lucian’s voice interrupted me and my thoughts.“Lucian.” I answered simply with a growl in my throat. I was truly not in a good moment and I really doubt that even Lucian could make me feel like talking to him. The older man walked closer to me carefully and looked around. Then I saw his eyes light up as they landed on the paper bags that I had just dumped on the table “You paid a visit to the diner? Did you go for me, because I know you hardly go there?” Lucian said as he walked over to the table to glimpse at the paper bags.I have no idea what the hell I had just bought. I only went in there because of Annie.I had paid a visit to her in her room but she was not there and so I had decided to trace her scent. I found
(ANNIE’S POV)As I brushed my hair gently and wore an Alice band, I could not help but think that I had not seen Alpha Vane recently. The last time I saw him was days ago, after the welcome party. The night I had read the book he had written. His own dark encounter of the war that took his family and his pack members .Seeing as he is someone who doesn’t like to express himself easily, I believe it must have been hard for him to open up to tell me that or maybe he was not coming around anymore because he simply wanted to make sure that I owned up to my responsibilities of being the Chosen one and since I was doing that, he wasn’t interested in coming around anymore.A little bit of disappointment gnawed at me from inside but I pushed it aside as grandma came in to my room.“Oh. You look pretty.” She said to me in admiration.“Thanks Grandma.” I said with a smile.I wouldn’t say that I look pretty. I mean not with that fresh red scar that was sitting below my lip, thanks to Janelle fo
(ANNIE’S POV)“It’s the chosen one looking as beat as ever. I really do hope she is the one we are relying on or we will be dead already.” A girl said as she walked by me in the hallway. Her and hee group of friends giggled and I shook my head while Jessica rolled her eyes.“I wish I could hit someone in the face.” Jessica said with a tightened fist.I knew that she was not joking. If she was allowed to, she would have beaten up a few people just this morning.It was no surprise to me that the news of my lost match with Janelle was circulating school the next morning. “Don’t bother yourself. They are not worth it.” I said closing my locker door shut and walking with her to our next class together.“Are you okay?” Jessica asked politely and I nodded.“I’m fine. Maybe just stressed. I got up really early this morning and trained.” I said.Jessica turned to me with wide eyes.“You did? But you are not strong enough. How did you? Did Joan let you do that?” She asked in amazement.“No sh
(ANNIE’S POV)“I’m alright Grandma.” I replied her weakly for what seemed to be like the thousandth time. “Well, you don’t look alright.” Grandma said to me and kept on complaining.Jessica and Seth had followed one of the town’s warriors who helped me to get back home after the fighting match with Janelle. It was not like I could not walk or anything, they simply won’t let me try to walk home myself. They left me with grandma who had not stopped complaining because she heard that I was in an open fight in the senior group and on my first day as well.“Why on earth will Tana even do this? You’re not accustomed to the ways of an open fight. She was just trying to be mean.” Grandma complained. “Besides I believe what your friend said.”Jessica was angry as well. She said that Janelle had used her wolf skills even though she had not transformed. I really did not care.I know that it annoyed me when I saw Janelle with an annoying smirk on her face while I was being helped away. “Please
(ANNIE’S POV)I stood rubbing my own shoulders and feeling a little bit anxious as I stood behind Roy while he argued with Tana. I could hear quite clearly.“She has no wolf!” Tana argued.“No one is fighting in wolves until the day of the competition so there’s no harm in her being in the class.” Roy said sternly.“And so what good will it be if she joins the senior group when she can’t even try to partake in the competition?” Tana went on to say.“I just want you to give her a chance. She’s well skilled. Too skilled to be in the Mid group.” Roy said in a pleading tone.They argued a little more for a few second and then Roy came and tapped my shoulders with a smile.“Knock ‘em out.” He whispered to me with a wink as he walked away. I offered a nervous smile to Tana but it met her icy stare and she turned around with a hiss.“Come in. I do not have all day.” She said loud and clear for me to come in.I came in to the large dojo room. It was bigger than the one I had just left with ol
