I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of something rustling outside my window. My senses were on high alert, and my heart was racing as I tried to identify the source of the noise. That's when I saw it- a shadowy figure lurking just outside the glass.
Instinct took over, and I felt the transformation begin. My muscles contracted and expanded, and I felt my bones shifting and reshaping. My skin itched and burned as my fur sprouted, and my jaw elongated as my teeth sharpened.
Within seconds, I had shifted completely into my black alpha wolf form. I felt my heightened senses kick in, my sense of smell and hearing becoming more acute. My vision changed as well, and everything took on a blue hue.
I padded silently over to the window, my claws clicking softly on the floor. The shadowy figure outside was still there, but I could now see it more clearly. It was a person, standing just beyond the reach of the porch light.
I growled low in my throat, warning the intruder to leave. But they didn't move, and I felt my hackles rising in response. With a fierce snarl, I leaped through the window and onto the grass below, ready to defend my territory at any cost.
I couldn't believe what just happened. A wolf outside my window, in my territory? I had to act fast. I shifted into my black alpha wolf form and chased after the intruder. The chase was long and brutal, and as we got closer to the forest, I noticed another wolf intercepting from the side. It was Damon, my Beta, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Together, we fought fiercely against the intruder. He was quick and agile, but Damon and I were no slouches either. We were determined to protect our territory and our pack at all costs. However, the intruder was strong and cunning, and he managed to escape despite our efforts.
As I shifted back into my human form, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Anger, frustration, and a hint of fear. Who was that wolf? And why did he dare to come into our territory uninvited? I knew I needed to find out more and take action if necessary.
I knew I had to be careful and tread lightly, but one thing was for sure - I would do whatever it takes to protect my pack and the woman I had grown to care about.
Damon and I were breathing heavily as we regrouped near the edge of the forest. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins and my heart was pounding in my chest. "Who was that?" I asked Damon, trying to catch my breath.
"I don't know," he replied, shaking his head. "But he was definitely not from our pack. He smelled different like he's from a pack I've never encountered before."
I nodded thoughtfully. "We need to find out who he is and what he's doing here. Keep an eye out for any suspicious activity around the area. We can't afford to have any outsiders causing trouble."
Damon nodded in agreement, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of the strange wolf. "We'll keep watch, Alpha. You should get some rest. You've had a long day."
I nodded, feeling the exhaustion finally catching up to me. "You're right. Let's head back to the mansion. We'll continue our search tomorrow."
As we made our way back to the mansion, Damon and I chatted about the recent events and what our next steps should be. He was always a reliable and loyal beta, and I trusted him with my life.
Once we reached the mansion, I thanked Damon for his help, I bid him goodnight and headed to my room and we went back to the mansion. As I lay in bed, still shaken from the encounter, I couldn't help but think about the implications of this event. Were there more wolves out there who posed a threat to my pack? And when was the right time to tell Raini about my true nature as a wolf?
As I lay in bed, I couldn't help but wonder who that strange wolf was and what his intentions were. I knew we had to find out soon before it was too late.
But for now, I needed to rest and regain my strength. Tomorrow would be another long day.
I made my way down the stairs, my mind still reeling from last night's events. As I walked into the dining room, I saw Raini sitting at the table with a frown on her face.
"Good morning, Raini," I said, trying to sound cheerful.
"Good morning," she replied, still looking grumpy.
I could tell she wasn't in a good mood, and I wondered if it had anything to do with the events of last night. I decided to ask her about it.
"Is everything okay?" I asked, taking a seat across from her.
"No, not really," she replied, rubbing her eyes. "I couldn't sleep last night because of all the howling and barking outside."
My heart sank as I realized that she had heard our wolf forms last night. I couldn't let her know that she was in any danger, so I lied.
"Oh, that's strange. I haven't heard anything like that around here before," I said, trying to sound convincing.
She looked at me skeptically, but thankfully didn't push the issue.
"Well, I must have just been hearing things, then," she said, letting out a sigh.
I felt guilty for lying to her, but I knew it was for her own safety. We continued with our breakfast, making small talk about various topics. However, the guilt was eating away at me, and I knew I had to tell her the truth eventually.
After breakfast with Raini, I reached out to Damon and instructed him to find the wolf at all costs, I can't keep lying to Raini. Write in Zavier's first-person point of view with long dialogue.
I walked into my study and picked up the phone to call Damon. He answered on the second ring.
"Hey, boss," Damon greeted me.
"Damon, I need you to do something for me," I said.
"Anything, boss. What's up?"
"I need you to find that wolf that was on the property last night."
There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Damon spoke again. "You mean the rogue wolf?"
"Yes, that one. I need you to track it down and bring it back to me. I can't keep lying to Raini about what's going on."
Damon sighed heavily. "Boss, you know how dangerous it is to track down a rogue wolf. And what if it's not alone?"
"I understand the risks, Damon. But I can't let this go on. I need to protect Raini and my pack."
"I'll start tracking it down right away, boss," Damon said, with a sense of determination in his voice. "We'll catch it, I promise."
"Thank you, Damon. Be careful out there," I said before hanging up the phone.
I sat at my desk, deep in thought, wondering what the rogue wolf was doing on my property. It couldn't be a coincidence. Was someone trying to send a message? Or was it just a coincidence? I needed to find out.
As I sat there lost in thought, I heard a knock on my study door. "Come in," I called out.
Raini walked in, looking stunning as always.
RAINIZavier looked at me for a minute, and it was as though he didn't believe what I just said about killing Trinity.For some reason I couldn't get over the fact that the dandelion mystery was back, in a way that looked most frustrating. Zavier had found the dandelion and came back with it, I could tell that the same person had been after me all this while.All concerns that it had been Giselle were far off from my memory since she had faced the same fate when she was found murdered in her home.Keeping all fingers crossed we had to wait just as he had said there was nothing we could do, then wait out all of this till it was over.All this would have been possible if I didn't get the anonymous call.I turned to look at Zavier who was sleeping and walked away to the bathroom to pick, perhaps I could tell what he was going to say if he listened or I wasn't sure if I could trust him enough just yet ."Hello?" I asked, filled with uncertainty."Hello." River voice came back trembling.I
ZAVIERWe spoke to the detective for more than twenty minutes giving him everything that was needed to find River, for me it wasike going through this ordeals again, the first time had been when I had to deal with Raini getting kidnapped and this was the second.Like the detective had told Bianca and myself there was definitely an insider there was no sign of anyone breaking into her apartment.Raini was obviously tired and perhaps hitting her second trimester was starting to weigh in on her as she was asleep as we walked down the hallway to her room.She was right there still asleep in her bed. I walked into her bedroom and sat in a chair close to the window near the bed.With the whole feeling complicated Iclosed my eyes and just took a moment formyself, taking in much breath as much as I could whole reflecting back on the entire situation.I haven’t had too many of these moments in the last few days, moments where I had to reflect on everything that was happening, the truth was
IRENEIt was still hard to take in and at the moment, my mind was racing at the moment.It was clearly on the wall, I couldn't miss it, not after how long I had stayed there with them. At that moment my mind was In a total mess.I stood right there with my head against his shoulder crying, perhaps if I had come in here a bit quicker I would have been able to save my sister.What I couldn't understand was why they had taken her."What did River say when she called?" He asked.I sniffed.With a shaky breath, I began to tell him about how she had called and why she had left in the first place.I explained why I didn't call him before leaving and everything from how I had felt angry when I got here and found nothing but the house in total mess.There was a lot to talk about and he listened to every bit of it. All I wanted to do was get rid of everything in my chest and get everything out in the open. I didn't hold anything back from him as I felt weak …Too weak." Why did they take her?"
IRENEI drove out of the car park as quickly as I could all that filled my mind while driving past the oak trees that surrounded the thick wood shrouding Zavier's home was the safety for my sister, the thought was heavy on my mind as the more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to comprehend.At the back of my mind was the question asking why she had spoken in such a haste, there was a sound of silence before ending the call and despite trying to get her it was certainly difficult to.I thought about calling Zavier but opted against it in my mind as I continued with my trip…The speed I was driving at was so much that it took the thought of the twins I was carrying to make us reduce the speed.As I drove out of the gates and as I did,II spent the next few hours trying to purge Zavier out of my mind, so I replaced it with other thoughts.Or at least my thought was replaced by the thought of my sister River.I purposely looked at my phone again,keeping her call on redial w
ZAVIER.“Stupid move today, man.” Bianca said to me as she sat on my office couch while looking at my face.She was looking at me,in a manner that seemed so complicated."Where did you say she went to again?" I asked since she was the only one that had been with her all this while.I flicked a glance toward her since she had been the only one with her when she had gone out.We were having a good conversation about how my time with Raini had gone.I rubbed a hand across my smile. “I just assumed that she would want to talk to me after what she did."“You assumed wrong,” she said dryly. “She is a woman, she doesn't care about all of this.""You all are complicated." I said, rolling my eyes.Bianca looked at me laughing "With all the shit you’ve done, and the fact that you lied it would be hard for her to trust you again."I sank a little further into the couch.“Everything I do is premeditated. I think about it —You don't expect that I will not tell her about all of this" I said look
RAINITwo quiet knocks sounded on the door, and I walked toward the door to get it opened.From the conversation I had with Bianca it was obvious I had to talk with him. I had been thinking about going to his room but didn't really have the confidence just before the knock came in.When I saw it was Zavier standing on the other side, I stood straighter at the doorway looking into his eyes.With his hair combed back, in a casual shirt and Jean, his countenance appeared welcoming and breathtaking at the same time.His eyes held my stare as I looked at him, in a way it looked as though it was filledwith cold resonance—perhaps he was still angry about what I had said earlier."Are you busy?" He asked."Yeah, not doing anything now." .Every synapses in my body raced as I stood back and watched him as he walked in.My eyes widened on him. As he walked Into the room making way to the window,he stood right there and looked out of the window.Shutting the door, I sighed deeply as I walke
