It’s the last day of school and the end of my sophomore year. I’m in the sitting room, pressing my phone and surfing the net. Nowadays, I seem to enjoy checking out celebrities on I*******m. There is something about it: they’re letting you in on details about their life. I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn’t even hear when my mum entered the sitting room.

“Lovette!!” She screamed out my name

“C’mon mum, you scared me, why didn’t you just tap me, I could have gotten a heart attack you know,” I said to my mother.

My mother rolled her eyes at me. “Stop being dramatic, will you? What if a thief entered the house? I’ve told you to always be conscious of your environment.”

Now look who is the dramatic one. How on earth would a thief enter the house. Our neighbourhood is safe and secure. I chuckled and shook my head at her reasoning.

It’s been the two of us since my Father left my mother for a sugar mummy. He claimed he wanted to be the younger one in the relationship and loved older women. My mother was devastated, and she was sad for months. I know that my mother deserves better than a man like that.

My mum is so beautiful that even at 45, she still gets complimented by a lot of people. She has blonde hair with hazel eyes. Her curves were prominent, and in every outfit, she wore bangs. I’m glad I inherited her genes and not my Father’s.

She works at the town hospital as a nurse, and right now, she has just completed her shift and is back home.

“How was school today hun?” she asked me, gently stroking my hair.

“oh, the usual, mum, you should know I don’t enjoy going to school. Whoever invented school just did me bad”, I groaned and sighed deeply.

“You’re such a whiner, well good for you, school ended today, now you can enjoy your school break,” She said as she stood up on her way to the room.

“Yes I’m the happiest person on earth right now,” I said, then I remembered I wanted to ask her something.

“Mum, I would like to go to Harper’s house this break. It’s been so long since I saw them, and I miss them, especially Connor.

The Harper’s are our family friends. They are not humans but werewolves, meaning they are half human, half wolf. They live on the other side of the town, mostly surrounded by woods. Susan and my mum went to the same college and have maintained their friendship since then. I occasionally go to visit them whenever I can. Susan has three boys; Ralph, Lowell, and Connor, With Ralph being the eldest and Connor the youngest.

My mum didn’t even think much about it when I requested that I visit them.

“Sure you can, I will call Susan on the phone and ask what she thinks about it, will do that tonight and let you know tomorrow”. She said as she proceeded to leave the sitting room.

I smiled, knowing that I was always welcome at the Harper’s home, so calling to ask might be pointless. I picked up my phone and clicked on Tiktok, wanting to watch three or four videos.

Well.. that’s what I thought. I ended up spending two hours on it.

********

Grrrrr!! Grrrrrr!! I woke up to the alarm sound blasting out through my phone. I checked the time and saw that it was 6: a.m. Jeez, I was pissed. I wanted to throw my phone away. I quickly put off the alarm and slept back, using the blanket to keep me warm.

But sleep failed me. I kept tossing and turning around on the bed for no cause. It isn’t even school time, and I can’t enjoy my beauty sleep. I blame my phone for that.

Sighing, I lazily got up from the bed and went to the kitchen to make some pancakes. I was humming to one of my fave songs when I heard footsteps. It was my mother. She was dressed and all ready for work.

“Hi, Mum, good morning”, I smiled as I sat in the dining room to eat my food.

“Good morning, hun. I didn’t expect you to be awake now. I expected you to still be under your cover, sleeping as you like since school is over. She said while serving herself some pancakes with a glass of Orange Juice.

“You know me so well”, I chuckled. “But good thing I’m up. You get to eat my yummy pancakes made by the chef herself”, I Joked.

She laughed and rolled her eyes. “Is that pride I see growing on you, your pancakes are yummy doesn’t make you a chef, dear. You hardly make any other food except pancakes.”

Yeah, she was right. I don’t enjoy cooking. I only cook when I feel the need to or am extremely hungry. I was done eating. I took my plate to the kitchen and did the dishes. Then I returned to where my mother was. I needed to ask her if she had called Susan the previous night.

“Mum, did you call Susan, what did she say?” I asked.

“She was so excited, she didn’t even think about it. She said yes immediately”, My mum replied.

“So I have a trip to prepare for then,” I said excitedly.

I’m about to meet the boys again. It’s been two years since I last saw them. I was closer to Connor than the other two boys, so I was eager to see him. I have so much to catch up on since a lot must have happened over their side. Werewolves have more interesting lives than humans.

“Yeah go pack your backs, you’re leaving this weekend,” my mum said while on her way out.

“Also, don’t be too engrossed with that phone of yours that you lose consciousness of yourself, silly. See you soon”, She warned as she finally closed the door.

I groaned. She just had to remind me of that. My mum can be so dramatic. I shrugged, thinking of the task ahead of me. I have a trip to prepare for.

    “Wakey wakey, lazy bones” Connor was trying to get me up from bed by tapping my forehead. What is it with people always trying to cut one’s sleep short? I was not a morning person, so waking up was usually a difficult task for me. Cradling a pillow to my chest, I stirred in my sleep.“Ugh, why did you have to wake me up so early?” I checked the time on the clock on the nightstand and groaned. I purposely did not set the alarm cause I wanted to enjoy my sleep peacefully.“What a beautiful morning it is, we need to catch up and explore,” He explained.He was way too excited. Sometimes I wonder if he should have been born as a female. He fits the description of a female friend. “I’m awake. You can leave the room. I’ll come to join you soon,” I told him. Hearing that, he left the room.I got up from the bed groggily. My body was still numb. Probably from the previous day’s trip. I had on oversized black tees with pink shorts, and my hair was all tangled.I went to the bathroom, splashed

    Ralph POVConnell dashed out of the room in the blink of an eye. I looked towards my Father, and he was fuming with anger. Most of his anger was directed at me. Probably because I still remained in the house and did not run just like Connell did.I scratched the back of my neck and slowly stood up. Lovette looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here at that moment.“Oops, we are done for. What are you still doing in there?” Connell mind linked me. I tried to shut him out. I didn’t want to hear any more pestering from him.“And what are you still doing here?” My Father demanded.Lovette was giving me the stink eye urging me to go out with her hands facing the direction of the door.“I’ll be on my way”, I mumbled.I’m not sure Lovette heard, but I’m certain my Father heard what I said loud and clearly.“In case you didn’t know, I’m here to tell you that we have rogues roaming around, and their scents have been perceived at the Shadow’s pack.”“Every single soul must be present at th

I got out of bed and stood in the middle of the room, rubbing the last traces of sleep out of my eyes. I took a deep breath in the morning, feeling the energy of the day ahead of me.

    Ralph POVIt became windy, and I was covered in dirt, and my clothes were dishevelled. I wiped the dirt off my clothes and looked up at Lovette. She was standing on the other side of the garden.Her long brunette hair blew in the wind. She had finished making the call, but I could tell that something was bothering her. She was standing still, staring off into the distance, her expression tense and worried. As I watched her, I began to think about what could have caused this reaction."What's wrong?" I asked, approaching her. "Did something happen on the call?"I could see the worry etched on Lovette's face as she stood motionless, staring off into the distance. I followed her gaze and saw nothing but the flowers in the garden and fields. The huge wind had whipped up a frenzy of dust and debris, making it nearly impossible to see more than a few feet in front of us."What's wrong?" I asked again, trying to wipe the dirt from my face and clothes. "Did you see something out there?"Love

But as the days went by, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something more to it.So, I decided to ask him about it."Hey, Gabriel," I said, leaning over to him. "I've noticed that you're always around Celeste. Is there something going on between you two?"Gabriel didn't give me a direct answer. He just smiled and said, "Why do you ask?"I felt a pang of frustration. I had hoped for a straight answer. But before I could say anything, Ralph came up to me and took me away."Lovette, my love," he said, hugging me. "I've missed you.

And I was waiting patiently for the outcome.Every time I passed by the door, I peeked inside, hoping to see some sign of improvement. But each time, it was the same. Celeste lying there, unmoving, while Nyx attended to her.All I could do was wait and pray.Finally, after what felt like hours, the door opened and Nyx emerged from the room, I practically ran towards her. "How is she? Is she going to be okay?" I asked, my voice shaking with fear and desperation.Nyx looked up at me, and her expression was blank. For a moment, I couldn't read her face, and then she spoke, her voice devoid of emotion. "I'm sorry, Gabriel. Celeste didn't make it. She's gon

    Lovette’s POVI couldn't believe how quickly the school year had gone by. I had been leading the class, acing every test, and putting in countless hours of studying. But all of that hard work was overshadowed by the fear that had gripped our school.It had started innocently enough. A few students were absent on the first day of school, but we all assumed they were just late enrollees. But as the weeks went on, more and more students went missing. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.At first, I tried not to think too much about it. I had my studies to focus on, after all. But the fear and paranoia that was spreading throughout the school were palpable. I could see it in the eyes of my classmates, in the way they moved through the halls, constantly looking over their shoulders.I tried to rationalize it, to come up with some sort of explanation. Maybe they had all transferred to another school, or maybe they had run away from home. But deep down, I knew something was seriousl

"Honestly, it's a bit overwhelming to think about. I mean, I'm excited to see my friends again and finish what I started, but at the same time, I'm nervous about the workload and the pressure of college applications."Connor nodded thoughtfully, his eyes showing understanding.
