"Trust me, you don't know what it feels like to be the first daughter," Tasha said, applying eyeshadow to her eyes.

We became friends almost immediately yesterday after I introduced her to the boys. We chatted for a while and exchanged contacts. It was almost as if she wasn't gloomy not long ago.

She was a very lovable person, a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul and believe me when I say this, her boyfriend, who dumped her, was a big-time fool.

I invited her over to the house. I wanted a girl's time with her. So far, it's been nice. We watched some movies on N*****x together, gossiped about entertainment celebrities and right now, we decided to play dress up. And by dress up, I mean playing with makeup and taking nice pictures with no intention of going out.

I was telling her that I was the first and only daughter wanting to have younger siblings who looked up to me.

Apparently, she had more to say about it.

"I feel like there is a huge weight on my shoulders, I need to make sure that I lead the best examples for my younger ones", she continued.

"Also, sometimes I just need my personal space or privacy and I can't have that with them always at home."

"Wait..how many siblings do you have again?" I asked

"I have two younger siblings. They are all girls," she smiled

"I love them so much and won't trade them for anything, but sometimes I just wish I was the only child that way. I won't have any worries in the world", she shrugged.

"Oh just like Connor and Lowell, you remember them, right? We met yesterday" I paused, waiting to be sure she knew them.

She nodded, gesturing for me to continue.

"They are also three, and I wonder if their older brother Ralph feels that way sometimes."

I was almost done with my makeup and was applying blush. I looked up at Tasha and admired her. She really knew how to play with colours.

"Phew, look at us, Tasha, looking all glammed up for a nonexistent occasion" I pouted my lips and posed even though we were not taking any pictures.

"You are not serious," she said, laughing.

We then heard howling coming from a distance.

Tasha paused. "Did you hear that? Or is my ear making up things".

"Do they have dogs in this house, or what's making that sound"

Oh shit

I don't think the guys knew I brought someone into the house. I've been told Werewolves howl to communicate their location to other pack members and to ward off rivalling packs from their territory. I wonder why they were howling now. I had to distract Tasha so She wouldn't notice something was off.

"It's nothing, someone is probably watching a movie downstairs," I said nonchalantly.

But deep down, I wanted to know the reason for the sound.

"I'll be right back. I want to go get a snack from the fridge" I used this as an excuse to see what was going on.

"Alright, Can you bring for me also" She battled her eyelashes, trying to look cute.

"Sure" I left the room and hurried downstairs.

I saw Ralph on the couch, playing video games and approached him. He was putting on a black hoodie with black sweatpants. Black was his signature outfit. He seldom wears other colours of clothing.

He looked up and smiled at me, and I couldn't help the butterflies that began to flutter in my stomach.

I'm not going to lie, yes, I have a crush on him, but I will never admit that.

"Hey, Lulu". He greeted me. He knew I hated being called that. Of course, he was the only one who called me that to annoy me.

"Hi, Ralph", I replied with a sweet smile

"Where is everyone anyway?"

He shrugged "probably out there doing their wolf business.

"And you're not part of it, why?"

"Bleh, boooring", he stuck out his tongue, disgusted by the thought.

I rolled my eyes at his childish behaviour. Just then, Connor scurried into the house with a terrified look.

"What's wrong" I was getting tense.

"We received a call from Alpha Derek from the Shadow pack, and he said that they have been the scent of rogues passing through the territories", he growled.

Oh, that explains the howling we heard earlier

I noticed Ralph was mumbling to himself

"What are you saying?"

"Nothing"

"So what are we to do now," he asked, clearly not interested but just feeling the need to ask.

"A general meeting has been called for at the pack house. Dad's mind linked me and wants us to be there right this moment."

Ralph cleared his throat.

"Ermm, sorry, I won't be available. I have lectures in school by noon."

"You know I can sense you're lying, right? There is no point in you even trying", Connor smirked.

"Yeah, whatever", Ralph scoffed.

I looked back and forth at the both of them, amused by their little or not-so-banter. I remembered Tasha was still in the room waiting for me. I stood up and went to the fridge. I took snicker chocolates and ran up the stairs.

"I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so long" I tried apologizing to Tasha immediately after I entered the room.

But she was sprawled out fast asleep on the bed with her makeup still on, gently snoring.

I muffled my laughter so as not to wake her up, then left the room.

"You guys have still not left, I thought you had a meeting to attend" Connor and Ralph looked like they were battling with the game console.

"I decided to relax. I can afford to be late for a few hours", replied Connor.

With Tasha asleep and the guys playing, I wanted to do something to entertain myself or keep me busy.

"I don't enjoy video games. Let's watch a movie, something we can all enjoy."

"Fine", Ralph grumbled, dropping the console.

"Listen, we won't be watching any of those chick flick movies, understood?"

"What do you suggest we watch then."I asked

"Inception", Ralph said flatly.

"Really? That's the best you can come up with" I gave him the side eye

"How about Purple hearts."

"You guys enough, can we pick one already? I'm tired of this back and forth." Connor glared at me

"Inception it is", Ralph insisted

I folded my arms, shooting daggers at him.

"No it won't be fair, let's play rock paper scissors, the winner gets to choose". I suggested

“And let the game begin” Connor fake whistled

"Rock, paper, scissors"

In the first round, we both chose rock, so it was tied, and we immediately replayed.

"Rock, paper, scissors"

I did the Paper sign while Ralph did the rock. Paper covers rock, which means he lost to me.

"Yay! I won, I get to choose" I did a little happy dance to show my excitement.

"What are you 5?" Ralph scoffed, clearly not happy about his loss.

"Sulk it in bro", Connor laughed.

I selected Purpleheart on N*****x, and we were all set to watch the movie. 30 minutes into the movie, we heard the door slam open.

We turned to see who it was, it was Mr Harper, he was fuming with anger.

"You have got to be kidding me, you're watching a movie when you should be at the pack house?"

"Get out now!!" He ordered with a growl.

    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

    Lovette POVThe morning sun streams through the window, gently rousing me from my sleep. I remained motionless as I became aware of the sound of birds chirping outside. 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. I walked over to the sink and splashed cool water on my face, waking up the last remnants of sleepiness.I made my way out of the bathroom, noticing that the morning sun had already started to warm up the day. The aroma of breakfast cooking in the kitchen lured me out of bed. I made my way down the stairs, eager to start the day, and was greeted by the aroma of freshly made pancakes. I sat down at the table, eager to sample the food that had been prepared. I began to eat, feeling the warmth of the pancakes and the flavours of butter, syrup, and sugar in each bite.The house was unexpectedly quiet. I was the only one at the table. Susan

    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

I had been so caught up in the moment with Ralph I hadn’t even noticed Connor passing by.Now, I felt embarrassed and foolish, and all I wanted to do was hide away in my room.I shut the door and collapsed onto my bed, burying my face in my pillow. I couldn’t believe how stupid I’d been to let my emotions get the best of me. I had always prided myself on being calm and rational.Yeah, I know I had a little crush on him, but I wasn’t expecting things to move so fast. This is what happens when you don’t think before you act.I sighed as I remembered the image of Connor grinning like a fool, it was suspicious, to say the least, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was just an act to cover up his true feelings.Who knew what was going on in his head?Regardless, I knew that he would never let me live it down. He was going to tease me about it for the rest

Tasha had called me no less than ten times in the past hour, and each missed call sent a jolt of panic through my body.I tried to push the negative thoughts out of my mind, but they kept creeping back in. What if something had happened to Tasha? What if she was in some kind of trouble?I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. There was no point in jumping to conclusions. I needed to call Tasha back and find out what was going on.I dialled the number and patiently waited for Tasha to answer."Hello?" Tasha's voice sounded rushed on the other end of the line."Tasha, it's me. What's going on? Why did you call me so many times?" "Oh thank goodness you answered. I've been trying to reach you for hours. I need your help." Tasha's voice was laced with desperation.I sat up straight, my heart racing. "What's wrong?

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.

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

I knew that I would miss them dearly.As we settled into the comfortable chairs in the backyard, the warm breeze and soft music creating a peaceful atmosphere, Connor asked me how I felt about resuming senior year in high school.I took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment, not entirely sure how to express the mix of emotions I felt about returning to school. "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.
