"I'm sorry, grandma. I just, I just checked on something." I replied. Then I glanced at Blaze and caught him staring at me.
"What if something bad happened to you?" Hina asked, still worried.
I felt warm inside and sad at the same time. If I didn't come back I could imagine that Hina would come to the forest to find me. Good thing, my dad allowed me to return.
"Nothing happened, grandma. I came back safe. So you have nothing to worry about." I responded with a reassuring smile as I held her hand. But I was shocked as her hand was cold as ice. So I added, "Anyway, can we go home now? It's cold here and
At the hospital, the doctor announced that Hina fell into a coma. Then I learned that she had been diagnosed with Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) five years ago. She was advised to have treatment to slow down the CLL but she didn't return after that. "Her Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is at stage 4 already. Based on the test results, we've seen an increased number of white blood cells, a low number of platelets, and low red blood cells. Aside from that, her liver enlarged as well. We can't say if she will wake up again." The doctor announced. Then he took his leave. I was in a daze. I couldn't understand what that disease was even after the doctor explained her condition. But hearing that they coul
I had high hopes that Hina would wake up after she moved her fingers since the doctor told me that it's a good sign. It only means that she could hear me. Hence, I talked to her every day. I didn't get tired of visiting her in the morning and at night. I started telling her the story in my childhood days, from how my mom raised me to how Blaze and I became lovers to enemies. And it's the fourth day already that I visited her in the ICU. And same as the last time, I told her about my life. I continued telling her my story while waiting for her response. &n
Cold shivers ran down my spine as Oscar and Anton seemed to be undressing me just by merely looking at me. Sierra was so furious that she wanted to come out to kick the two perverts on their asses. Good thing, I could still calm her by telling her that I wouldn't let the men touch me even the tip of my fingers. However, my body trembled when my eyes caught a silver knife placed in Oscar's pocket. I didn't expect that they were carrying that thing. The thing that a wolf like me, dreaded the most. My face went pale as I felt cold sweats forming on my forehead. I felt like my knees suddenly weakened just
Blaze cleared his throat before he responded. "I know. You met him in the forest, right?" He asked, still looking deeply at me. I was astounded. I didn't expect that he was already aware of it. Then I recalled the night when he and Hina welcomed me on the shore. He was looking at me like he was reading my mind. I also remembered his strange question to me that night, like he had an idea of who I met in the forest. "How did you know?" I managed to ask as I stared at him with a questioning look. "B
"Yes, Blaze. I want to marry you," I answered tearfully. Blaze stood up and put the ring on my finger with all smiles on his lips. Then he hugged tightly. I could say that he looked so happy when I accepted his proposal. I was feeling the same, but there was worry in my heart. "But, I must see my dad first before I go with you," I mumbled as I returned his hug. Blaze suddenly released me and looked me in the eye.
I anxiously looked at my dad, thinking that it was the best time to tell him about my plan of marrying Blaze and that I would live with him in the human world. However, I suddenly changed my mind. I supposed I should not hurry as I still have much time. "But Dad, do you mind telling me first about why the members of our pack are here? I'm listening," I mumbled with a sweet smile as we took our seats. My dad smirked. "So, it picked your interest now, huh? I thought you already knew about it?" "Well, I don't know the whole story," I replied as an excuse. "Alright. They told me that Blaze released them after giving up being the Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack. They were so surprised about it. They couldn't believe it at first and they were even suspecting him that he has a hidden motive, but when he told them where we were, they immediately made their way here and found me. Well, I
Ayira's POV One year later. 'It's well worth the wait. All the challenges we have faced. The drama we have endured. Everything has its own timing, and ours is right now. Every beautiful thing will happen, and every nightmare will end.' 'Tomorrow is our big day and we cannot wait. Blaze and I will forever be together, and nothing and no one can tear us apart. We completed all the preparations and nothing can do harm for our special occasion.' “I hope everything will be fine tomorrow, I’m really nervous,
Blaze's POV I was really excited when I woke up. I nearly could not get enough sleep with the adrenaline pumping through my body. Good thing, I just dozed off all of a sudden. I stood up and went for a quick breakfast with my grandfather. We enjoyed the meal together. Afterward, we both headed towards the room where we were going to get dressed and ready. “I will go take a quick shower grandpa,” I said to him.
Blaze's POV. Ayira and I agreed to visit Hina’s grave since it was her death anniversary. We also decided to take a trip to the island where Ayira stayed before to visit the townspeople there and her students. I could see in Ayira’s eyes the excitement of going back there. I would not wonder since she got really attached to the people on that island, especially to Hina. She took care of her when she was at her lowest. She fed her, offered her a place to stay, and treated her like her own family. We used my private yacht heading directly to the port near the island. While on our way, Ayira was telling Summer about her life on the island, including her experience as a teacher. Summer was listening attentively to his mom and would laugh from time to time about his mom's silly experience in teaching. It was already dark when we arrived at the hotel. We checked in immediately as we got hungry due to long travel. We had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and went back to our room to
Ayira's POV It was a brand new day. Blaze and Summer were busy playing video games. So I made myself busy in the kitchen. Then I checked the pantry and found out that we were running out of some supplies already. So I decided to go to the market. "Hi, mom. I will go to the market to buy some supplies. Do you have anything to add?" I asked when I saw her enter the kitchen. She thought for a while before she responded. "Oh, yes. I want to buy some ingredients to make a vegetable salad. But I think I'd be
It was heartbreaking to see someone you love leaving with someone else. And because of that unfortunate event in the past, I suddenly felt I had no right to fight for her. And because of that event, she chose to leave me and her son just like that. I could accept if she resented me, it's understandable. But leaving her son didn't make sense at all, since I knew very well how much she loves our son. I looked at Ayira for the last time. Suddenly, I heard Marcus whisper. 'Blaze, after everything, you will just let her leave like that?'
We slowly made Summer understand what wolves were. Ayira told him stories about how she lived in the New Moon World when she was young. And we let him understand that we should be careful not to show to anyone in the human world that we were different from them. We also explained that grandpa was a human, not like us. But Summer was really intelligent. He asked us why was grandpa was living with us if he's a human. Good thing, he later understood that he was once a friend of my grandfather before the world was divided into two. However, there was one thing I was afraid about. It was Summer's intuition that his mom would leave us. It buzzed me almost every day as I knew the reason.
Blaze's POV The following morning, I went to the library and searched for my old books. I remembered I had a book about ancient wolves before. Perhaps, I could find some information there about Summer's power. I read almost everything that day while Summer and Ayira were busy with their lessons. Right. Ayira really loved teaching so she volunteered herself to be our son's tutor. That's why as early as two years old, Summer already learned the alphabet and basic counting. I was grateful for that because
Ayira's POV As agreed by everyone, we decided to go back to the villa in the mountains. We thought that Summer would ask questions about our sudden decision to move house like he used to do every time we would go out. But surprisingly, he was just quiet throughout our journey. And due to the long travel, he slept on my lap. However, as we reached the foot of the mountain, he suddenly screamed. "No!"
It has been 4 years since Summer was born. He grew up as an energetic little boy that he took after me. He was also fond of going outside, even a simple walk by the shore that I guessed he took after from his mom. However, as he grew up, he began to show that he was different from the other children he got along with. He was more mature and stronger than the other children of the same age as him. And that was what we were worried about. How could we explain to him our true identity? That we were different from human beings? By the time he was 3 years old, his special skills began to show.
Blaze's POV Days have passed and we really got used to living here on the island with our precious one. Summer also enjoyed some morning walks and laughed when his feet touched the sand. I loved that priceless moment, hearing his giggles that were like music to my ears along with the soft laughs of his mom. However, one morning, I woke up seeing Ayira beside me but my eyes widened when I did not see Summer in his crib. “Where is Summer, Ayira?” I hurriedly asked her when I saw her open her eyes.
My first two trimesters of pregnancy were really a challenge for us. I used to puke almost everything I ate and I felt like it was such a waste so I tried sleeping every after meal just to avoid throwing up the food I had eaten. And there came a point when I could no longer get out of bed because of my morning sickness. And because my pregnancy journey wasn't easy, Blaze decided to call his mom and let her stay with us until I gave birth to our beloved baby. His grandfather also came with Aurora since he was also excited to see his great-grandchild. But the good side of my pregnancy was, I felt how mu
