Contentment. That’s what I felt at this very moment in my life. The constant and desperate craving of wanting to find a place of belonging had eased and turned into contentment. I was content with the things that I have in my life at this moment. I have a family. After holding back so long from going to market, I’ve decided to return and help Melody transform her herbs stand into a pastry stand, and ever since we decided to make that big decision, we’ve been flooded with sales because we all know Melody is the greatest cook. … My grandfather had decided to confront his past. I went through my dad's and grandmother's old belongings as he could finally breathe and accept that they were waiting for him on the other side. He felt good being able to unlock his true emotions that came with their deaths and the loss of his legs, which stopped him from living his true form of life. I was happy for him as tears of acceptance streamed down his face as he watched the ashes of the letters t
“So what was the surprise that Genesis had taken you to see?” Melody asked as she and Rosalie stood in the kitchen, cleaning up after the whole family had dinner. Rosalie’s face turned bright red as she began to aggressively scrub the dishes, “Oh, he just did this really romantic thing for me in the forest, it’s really sweet,” she replied, avoiding eye contact with Melody, who smiled while wiping the wet dishes.“You guys came back pretty fast, were you nervous?” She asked as Rosalie scrubbed to look ahead of her, seeming to be lost in thought before looking down as she blushed, “No, I um, I told him to take me back when the right time of day fits the scenery,” she replied, Melody, raised a teasing eyebrow, “Oh really, when’s the perfect time of day and why?” She asked as Rosalie shrugged before smiling mischievously.“At night because the candles would look prettier when the sun goes down,” she replied before giggling as Melody shook her head, “Please make sure you use protection, yo
“I have a bad feeling about something,” I said, resting on Genesis’s chest as we lay down to rest after having two hours of hot rough sex, “What do you mean?” He asked, gently caressing my naked back as the thin covering, covered our lower body, “It’s been very quiet lately, ever since Marcus’s attack, we haven’t heard or seen anyone of his pack wolves,” I said, raising my chin to look up at him as he laid with his hand under his head, “You’re right, the last time Marcus went this quiet was when he was planning my father’s murder,” Genesis said, glaring at the moon before sighing as he then turned to me.“I want you to not worry too much,” he said, stroking my cheek as my eyes went emotionally soft, “It’s hard not to when I have this feeling in my chest,” I said, staring into his eyes before grabbing his hand that cupped the side of my face, “Talk to me,” he whispered, watching as I smiled through the pain that left me choking on my air, “My grandfather thinks that he’s going to die,”
Days passed and Marcus seemed to be getting more and more worse as he called for his children. The door opened revealing his daughter, Cora, as she immediately teared up at the sight of her father. “Daddy?” She cried, rushing to his side as he smiled at the sight of her, “Hey, baby girl, I’ve missed you,” he said as Cora held his hand with tears streaming down her face, “What’s happening to you, Daddy?” She asked as Marcus reached out to caress her face. “I’m afraid that my time is near,” he said as Cora began sobbing, squeezing her father’s hand in desperation, “No, you can’t leave me, y-you’re the Alpha, you’ll heal and everything will be alright,” she cried as her father cooed, “I’m afraid that’s not it works Cora, but know that’ll always love you,” he said as his words, his defeating attitude angered her as she snatched her hand from his as she stood up. “IT’S NOT FAIR! YOU’RE GOING TO DIE AND LEAVE, AND YOU’RE OKAY WITH IT!!” She yelled as tears continuously streamed down her f
They say that fire burns brighter in the darkness and Atticus was one of the darkest shadows in Queensland amongst the elders of the wolves. People always thought twice about him because he was sneaky and deceitful. What fire doesn't destroy, it hardens and Atticus's heart was hard as a rock or some might think that he didn't have a heart. I never liked Atticus, that day when he tried to embarrass me in the market, I saw a glimpse of the real devil that he was. The man, who forcefully manipulates people and breaks them down into nothing, permanently driving them away. Take Paul and Cleo’s mother as an example. My grandfather told me that arranged marriages were very popular back when my parents were young and it was traditional. Atticus was heavily involved in tradition since he tried to force his own daughter to marry Marcus's father, who was at least 10 years older than her. My grandfather said that Atticus's controlling behavior drove his daughter mad until one day she disappeare
Walking aimlessly in the middle of the forest, Paul’s body weakly stumbled around as tears streamed down his face. He needed to get out of there. He couldn’t stay there watching, knowing his grandfather’s fate. It broke his heart. It broke his heart because although his grandfather was known to be this terrible man, he still took them in, and gave them a home, food, and clothes. He couldn’t fully hate his grandfather, but he couldn’t forgive him either.Now his grandfather was gone and his sister was still missing. Paul felt truly alone. He knew that Giovanni and the others were looking for him, but he didn’t have the strength to face them; he couldn’t handle their looks of pity.Wiping his face as he looked around, Paul realized that he was in the middle of nowhere until he caught a familiar scent. His eyes lit up as he stumbled over his feet, trying to rush to the person that he’s been so desperate to find. A smile appeared on his face as he came closer and closer to the scent, “Cle
The wind blew harshly through my fur as I ran through the forest. I know I was making a big mistake, but I couldn't help it. I couldn't stay at home knowing that the loves of my life were out there risking their lives, I couldn't lose. But if I do, then we'll all die together.My heart pounded against my chest as I continued sprinting. I was scared and anxious, something didn't feel right when I watched the twins and Paul left the house. There was an unsettling feeling, Kamari felt it too. She was aggravated and annoyed, especially when Genesis had forbidden us from going along with them.I remembered the look on my grandfather's face.…My body shook in anger as I watched the twins leave, "How could he ask me to do this?" I growled, pacing around in the living room as my grandparents looked at me with softened eyes, "They're just trying to protect you, sweetie, it's an instinct for them," Melody said as her words angered me even more, "What about me?! Their safety and lives matter to
It's been a day since Rosalie had been kidnapped and she hasn't slept a wink. She had been up all night thinking about the twins and the situation that they were in now. She blamed herself for everything."Maybe if I had just listened to Genesis or maybe if I had declined grandpa's offer to come live with him, none of this would be happening, people still would've had their lives."It was dangerous for Rosalie to be left alone with her thoughts. Sometimes Kamari tried to reassure her that everything was going to be alright and that the twins would find them, but sometimes Rosalie’s thoughts would overpower Kamari and block her voice, drowning out her words of comfort and reassurance. Throughout the night, Rosalie had showered and wore, to her displeasure, some of Mateo's clothes. It reeked of him, which made her sick to her stomach, but she refused to stay naked. She wasn't hungry either and she guaranteed that she would be like that for a while, especially with Cora's dead rotting b
