"What is it, Fenris?" My brows crossed."Promise me first." "Promises are meant to be broken.""It's up to you if you'll break it or not. Please, just promise."I sighed. "I promise."He swallowed deeply. "We still cannot locate your parents but we received a cryptic clue on where they could be staying.""What?! What clue?""We're looking into it, Kira." He looked around, up at the ceiling as if check-in something. "I cannot disclose any information now---""What? Are you being serious?! Why? I mean I need to know. It's my parents, Fenris!"He held my hands and massaged them. "I need you to trust me with this, Kira.""But can you at least tell me what clue you received?"He looked down. "I'm really sorry---""That's bullshit!""Kira, please..." He sighed as he massaged my hands more. "You're life is also in danger. I believe someone discovered your real identity and is now after you. The less you know, the better."I shook my head as my heart started pounding faster. "That's bullshit
I carefully exited the Gym Station with my trembling knees, my hands were also trembling as I hit the Sleeping Station, floor number on the cylindrical elevator. When it opened, Fenris was standing right in front of me with a worried face."Where the hell have you been?! I've been looking for you, for God's sake!"My eyes widened more at him. I guessed I was having an aftershock with all that I heard at the Gym Station. My lips also trembled when I tried to speak."W-what— oh uh— I can't sleep, so— I went to the gym and—" He pulled me before I could even finish my words, we entered back into our room and he quickly locked the door while I sat on the bed, calming my hysterical chest.When Fenris faced me, he crossed his arms around his chest as he glared at me."What happened, Kira?""Huh—" "Goodness, there's something wrong. I can see it in your eyes and your body language, what happened down there, Kira?" I felt the sweat dripping on my forehead. Darkesta wants me. At first, I wa
"Sorry, I'm late." Gonzalo entered the room and my lips parted. "Has the discussion already started?" He sat beside Ralphina before he glanced and smiled at me as he winked.Fenris just lowkey glared at him."It was just about to start, alpha Gonzalo," Ralphina uttered.Gonzalo looked at Alpha Leo and bowed his head with respect. "My apologies for the delay.""You're just right on time." Alpha Leo glanced at me as if saying that I shouldn't disclose what we talked about, not even to Fenris.Then two other alphas entered the room and apologized for being late. So it was an Alphas meeting. I couldn't cope up, why was I even here? I didn't think I was supposed to be here.When all had finally sat down on their own chairs, we just looked at each other's eyes while the silence was causing a loud thumping on my chest. It was like there was a roaring tension in the room.I looked at Fenris and he was just staring at me as if trying to read what was on my mind."Kira, you don't seem shocked s
I flinched as my head ached like it had been hit by lightning until noises slowly came back to my ears and the darkness disappeared. Just like that, I was back in the Food Station with Lilien and Claude eating while smiling.I took my glass and sipped water while my heart was still pounding so fast. When Claude met my eyes, it shivered every part of my skin. I trembled so I put the glass down quickly so they wouldn't notice. I silently gasped before I took a bite of my fries. "Kira, did you hear me?" Lilien asked.I smiled. "Sorry, what?"She chuckled. "I said, who taught you how to be a fast swimmer?""Oh that, my husband, Fenris. We both love pools and beaches so yeah." My lips thinned as I looked away. We just had our swimming training where they taught us how to breathe under the water and swim fast. I bet they somehow noticed how I learned everything so fast. It was an easy peasy task for me, perhaps the easiest. I continued eating and acted as if I didn't just freeze time and
"Hi, nice to meet you, Zack.""Uh, it's really a pleasure to meet you guys, but can I borrow Kira for a while?" Vilka asked nicely."Yeah, sure." Lilien nodded.Claude shrugged. "She's not ours to be owned." They all laughed at Claude's sarcasm while I just chuckled, having a really hard time pretending and acting normal.I walked with Vilka and Zack in the hallway of the facility where no one really hung out a lot. It was only the three of us roaming while most others were in the Food Station, if not, they were on the lawn ground, or in the Lake.I lightly poked Vilka's waist with my elbow. I was clueless about Zack and I didn't know how I was supposed to act around him. Then, Vilka finally told me more about Zack and from what werewolf kind he was. While we were laughing around, someone called Vilka and she left me and Zack alone. I would definitely pinch her waist once I saw her again. Leaving me alone with Zack was so awkward. "You don't have to be conscious around me, Kira. Yo
I attended a few more training sessions before dinner and after I ate, I went straight to our room as I couldn't bear to pretend anymore as if everything was just alright and I was completely fine. It was getting more tiring every single day, smiling and showing everyone that you were okay even if you weren't at all."Kira, you don't seem alright, what's bothering you?" Fenris asked while we were already laying on the bed. He wrapped his arm around my waist while he was staring at me. Meanwhile, I kept my eyes staring at the ceiling as I couldn't imagine the fuck would I kill the love of my life. Never, that was totally impossible."Huh? I'm fine." I faked a laugh. "You don't have to worry about me.""Kira, I can feel you're not okay. Come on, tell me what's bothering you." He hugged me tighter.I squeezed my eyes closed before I looked back at him. I positioned myself to face him then I also wrapped my arm around his waist. Our faces were now so close to each other, with our eyes, ex
While I was having lunch with Lilien and Claude, I stopped in the middle of biting a pizza, my heart pounded so loud and my knees started trembling. My brows crossed while feeling like I was palpitating."Kira, you okay?" Lilien asked.My head twitched as it ached, I squeezed my eyes closed and in a glimpse, I saw the huge station being attacked by — witches! They were casting spells and such, attacking and sabotaging the largest training facility. When I opened my eyes, my beating heart was thudding every second. I think I just saw a vision of what was gonna happen."What's going on? Should we bring you to the clinic?" Lilien asked.I shook my head before I glanced at Claude who was acting confused as well. I sighed with my heavy chest as I knew, I was sure, our enemy was on their way here. I clenched my fist, stopping myself from asking Claude if he knew about it. I looked around and my vision got blurry for a second that all I saw were waves of shadows before my sight got clear as
I lost consciousness for an hour and when I woke up, I was in my room. I massaged my head, finally feeling it was slowly calming down. I took a deep breath before I sat and rested my back on the headboard of the bed.I looked around while my sight was getting clearer from its blurry vision until it hit me, oh right! There was an ongoing war between witches and werewolves.I was about to stand but I flinched and froze when my eyes landed on Guardian Leo. "What— what are you doing here? Why aren't you outside, helping—" Oh my God, my Fenris, I need to help my husband there.I stood and grabbed my coat but then Guardian Leo blocked the door. My lips parted at him. "What—"He shook his head. "You can't go out, Kira. Not now.""What? Why? There's a war outside, I need to help them!""The scene is still under control, just calm down and rest—""Rest?! Are you serious? How could I even rest if I know my friends, my husband, and other werewolves are in danger?!""They are handling it, Kira."
I swallowed deeply after seeing some backpacks and winter clothes that they had prepared for us. My mind was roaring everywhere, and I couldn't even sink in the information Guardian Leo was saying to me.My chest was thudding so loud, and all I could think of was I wasn't ready. I didn't expect everything to happen this quick.We rode horses to travel the cold land, and I couldn't stop glancing at Fenris every time I would think of backing up. I sighed deeply and tried gathering courage from I didn't even know where I could actually get one. Perhaps, the look of Fenris reassuring me was enough.We arrived at the strange mountain ranges, and from there, we teleported to the icy plateau on top of the hill. My hands were trembling under my gloves. Fenris held me while we were looking around the place, examining the surroundings."I don't understand," I muttered. "I can't see anything but icy mountains. Where could be the location of Darkesta's territory?"I hugged myself when the strong
What happened that night was still hunting me to this day — it had been two weeks and up until now, we were still thinking of the purpose of why Darkesta's little dogs suddenly attacked us."Claude is dead."When Fenris brought me that news, I was stunned. I thought I would be happy to hear those words but then again, I remembered he was once my friend. Even though it wasn't really for him, it was real for me and Lilien."They decided to kill him after he almost successfully transformed himself into his wolf form," he added.I sipped on my cup of coffee while my heart was still feeling unsafe. Darkesta was not only the devil, he was intelligent and whatever he was plotting against us could be the real end of our kind. I was just so frightened by that thought."What about Vilka? Do you believe her?" I asked before sipping on my coffee again.Vilka explained to us why she suddenly disappeared from the mansion a minute after our soldiers had traced foot tracks of Dark Summoners. She said
My jaw tightened as my claws gripped tighter on the ground. I stepped back, lowering my body while gazing at the three creepy humanoid wolves. They were standing on their two legs, and it made them look more monstrous. I prepared myself for a possible attack."Calm down!" The humanoid wolves were almost laughing in my ears. I didn't know they could talk to us through the mind link. "You seem to be too threatened to us. Don't make it so obvious, I suggest." The humanoid wolf in the middle kept blubbering, sounding so boastful.I glared at them deeper as I hissed. Fenris was looking much more eager. I could even hear his blood boiling so hard.Fenris howled. "What do you want from us?!" He also spoke through mind-link. The humanoid wolf on the left side chuckled like a playful yet annoying child. "You know what we want. "We will never surrender to your greedy master, you asshole!" Fenris fired back while he was scratching his pointed claws on the ground with his sharp teeth showing.
My heart thundered as Fenris' eyes and mine met. "Stay here," he commanded."What? No—" He got out of the room without letting me finish my words. I gulped before I rushed to follow him downstairs. Noises were coming from outside the mansion and when we finally exited the house, I saw some soldiers talking and discussing some things. In contrast, others were spread around the huge house, they were anticipating something, and my heart was thudding continuously for what could be it."What the hell is going on?!" Fenris exclaimed, and finally, he caught the soldiers' attention."We saw tracks of Dark Summoners leading to this place—""I know, but did you see them? How the hell did they get here without anyone sensing them?"Strange. Even I didn't sense the unwelcomed scent of humanoid wolves. "Alpha Fenris, I checked Vilka in her room, but she isn't there." A maid approached him."What?! What does she have to do with any of this? Are you sure she didn't sleep in her own house?"The mai
I swallowed deeply, convincing myself they were nothing but friends just like me and Nazarus — come on!"Yes, my cousins are regaining their strengths, thankfully."I cleared my throat before I stood properly and composed myself. My elbows hit some leaves, and I immediately noticed how quickly their eyes turned into me. "Oh, Kira!" Atasha chuckled awkwardly. "My cousins would want to give you and your mother this." She handed me two necklaces with a fang pendant."Really?" I still couldn't figure out how to interact with her. I never wanted to be fake or plastic or whatever they call it. "Yes, they've been planning to come here, but they are still regenerating their strengths — maybe next week they could thank you personally.""Oh, that's nice." I grabbed the necklaces from her soft hand. "Tell your cousins not to worry, and we appreciate their gifts and their gratitude." I glanced at Fenris, and he slightly smiled at me. My lips just thinned.I wanted to ask what they were talking
We arrived in the woods right on time while the Sun was about to rise. Good thing, the soldiers arrived earlier than us. They seemed responsible and dedicated to their tasks. We stayed near the river for a couple of hours. Fenris had been discussing something with the soldiers. They were plotting a plan while I was on the lookout for the busy group. Surprisingly, no Dark Summoners attempted to attack us. I was quite anticipating the action now, but perhaps it really was better for them not to attack or anything. The damage they could cause was too much, for sure.Since we saw no sign of attack, Fenris and I decided to go back to the mansion. He instructed the leader to inform us once anything unfortunate occurred. While we walked our way back to our house, the soldiers stayed in the woods as it was one of their duty — to guard and observe the forest.The next day was a really bad day for me. I work up without Fenris on my side. Since my body was so heavy and even my eyes, I didn't no
Nazarus just shrugged and started walking to the exit of the mansion. He looked back at me and gestured to me to follow him. I rolled my eyes before walking. I watched Nazarus back while walking. It was only at that time I noticed how neat and elegant he walked. Every step of him was really careful — I laughed at the thought of why we waste our time walking if we could just teleport. Fenris's deep gaze met mine when we reached the gate. "What did you do?* His brows crossed at Nazarus.I snaked my arm over Fenris' arm. "Where are we going?" I asked.Fenris remained to stare at Naz. Naz laughed and shook his head. "Chill! I went to the restroom and walked past her in the living room.""Where are we going, Fenris?" I asked again.Fenris finally looked at me. "You'll see."I rolled my eyes before looking at Nazarus. "Where are we going, Naz?""You'll see." He mocked Fenris.Fuck them!I crossed my arms over my chest and just followed them. We walked for a few minutes until we reached M
Slowly, the estranged man opened his eyes and quickly met mine. "You're gonna die… you're all going to die…." His huge black pupils trembled on my chest. I took a deep breath as my chest tightened.Fenris kicked the man before he stepped on his chest. "Don't listen to him." He tightened the grip of his feet on the man's chest, stiffening the Dark Summoners' human body."What do you want from us, huh?!"The man smiled strangely and slowly, he chuckled like a devil. "You're all gonna die…." He breathed out before coughing after Fenris squeezed his chest more with his feet."Fuck you! You're the one who's going to die today." Fenris grabbed his dagger and sliced the Dark Summoner's head off. I flinched and stepped back as the blood splashed everywhere. I covered my mouth. I was used to seeing brutality, but I couldn't still stop to be shocked at times."Why did you kill him? We could get information—""Do you think he will say something?" Fenris cut me off. "Think of him as Claude. He wi
Fenris raised his right brow. "You're talking about me?" "Oh, it's not important." Nazarus shrugged his hand. "Don't think too much about it."My lips thinned when Fenris glared at me. "What?" I arched a brow. "I just told him you don't like plucking the flowers in the garden."Fenris looked at the flower in my hand. I thought he was going to get it to me, but he just turned his gaze back at Fenris."What it is with the flowers that you're always giving to my wife, huh?"Nazarus raised both of his hands as if surrendering. "Just a nice gesture, calm down.""Nice gesture." Fenris scoffed. "Bullshit.""Fenris." I cleared my throat."Anyway, Fenris," Nazarus uttered. "It's perfect timing that you're here. I have to discuss something with you."Fenris' brows crossed, and so mine."About what?"Nazarus glanced at the mansion. "Can we talk inside?""Why? Can't you discuss that here?" Fenris sounded more disgusted yet intrigued.Naz looked around. "You won't wanna risk someone hearing our
