"Hi, Seth!" A girl of medium height approached the table where Edith and Seth were enjoying their lunch in the cafeteria. Edith looked intently at the girl who didn't even care about the gaze that fell on her. "Gloria!" said Jadden and Will simultaneously with surprised looks on their faces. Seth's face turned flat and impassive, and he didn't even return Gloria's greeting. Edith noticed Seth's change in his expression. She turned her gaze to Jadden who looked awkward. Edith dropped her gaze on Will who was expressing with a forced smile. "Can I join you guys?" asked Gloria who had widened her smile. "NO! Come on Edith, we'll take a meal out, I want to skip class today. Jadden, I'll borrow your book and ask you not to deal with this woman!" said Seth as he hardened his jaw. Seth immediately pulled Edith's hand to follow him in leaving the canteen and skipping school today. He gripped Edith's hand firmly and quickened his pace towards the car. Edith just watched Seth's strange b
"Is that true?" Jadden widened his eyes when he heard Will's words, even his mouth was wide open as if Will had suffocated him with every word. " When did I ever lie to you, did biting Claire dull your sense of hearing? Hope must have howled that time!" "How can a wolf be focused when marking, my friend, unless it's focused on our mate," Jadden said as he winked at the blonde woman who was cutting meat at three o'clock from Jadden. "From what I've heard over there, Eva and Chris are planning something to give the French Alpha a hard time," Will added. "Seth is really lucky that you're close to Eva, just like I thought you would be." Jadden put his arm around Will's shoulders who was shorter than him. Both of them were going to the Liverpool area to investigate about Gloria's presence there upon Seth's orders. "I still can't figure out how Gloria could reappear. And what makes me even more suspicious, her appearance is right when the pack is indicated to be 'having problems'. But
"I'm okay. Beta Jadden and Gamma Will, come to my workroom immediately!" Jadden immediately carried Seth who looked pale while Will looked at Liam who walked behind them as if looking for answers from the man. Everyone looked at them in surprise. After the werewolves had disappeared behind the wall. Kai approached Edith who looked sombre as she walked through the great hall of the pack house. "Are you alright?" Kai asked. "We're fine, only Seth was wounded," replied Edith. Edith spoke to Anne to take Julian to his room. Her command was immediately obeyed by Anne. She brought Julian into her room. Edith walked to the sofa at the end of the room and sat herself there. Edith cupped her face. Her head was already very dizzy thinking about Seth's condition, but the man she was thinking about still said everything would be fine. But Edith didn't just believe it, she saw clearly that Seth was holding back his wounds. "What's wrong with Seth, he doesn't look okay?" asked Kai as he sat
"Hmm...we're here!"Will pulled his face away from Eva's neck. They both took a step back from each other in the next second after realising who had interrupted them. Both of their faces instantly turned red and Eva immediately moved her mouth as she cast a spell to bring the colour of her face into normal mode."Is everything okay, Will?" asked Chris who had straightened himself up from the sofa."You feel it, don't you? Seth is wounded and I was asked to call Eva to the pack house by Seth," said Will."By the Moon Goddess, Chris we should go home, immediately!" said Hope with a tense look on her face."Wait a minute, if Seth called me, then this has something to do with the magic curse?" guessed Eva."Yeah, you're right Ev," Will replied weakly.Eva swung her arms in the air in a vertical circle and instantly a portal opened before her."You guys can go first, I'm going to prepare something to help Seth and I need your help Will!"Hope grabbed Chris' hand and grasped it tightly. Chr
"May I have your attention please! The Alpha has fallen. I, Beta Jadden, and former Alpha Chris are requesting that you assemble in the backyard as we try to figure out how to get out of this sticky situation. Without exception, all werewolves are to perform Moon Goddess rites for however long it takes for Alpha to awaken and resume leading Red Crescent Moon. The High Witch of Yorkshire, Eva Quince, and Luna Edith are working tirelessly to aid the Alpha's recovery. That is all I have to say!” A hushed voice resounded throughout the pack house's great hall after Jadden finished speaking in front of the entire pack. To each pack member he came across who was nearby, he gave a shaky smile. When Jadden turned to look, he saw Jen and Jed standing there looking curious. He then felt something pressing against his stomach. Jen was the first to question impatiently, "Is Seth going to die?" "No, none of us, especially Luna, is going to let him. In between his fast steps, Jadden added, "She
One year later... "Enough Seth, let's go home!" Seth didn't move. He was still hardening his jaw at the sight of the young man in front of him lying on the ground covered in wounds. It didn't occur to him to forgive the person who had upset him, until Jadden's voice snapped him out of his rage. "For the next one. I will not have mercy on you!" Seth said as he turned the young man's body with his foot. "I'm not afraid of your threats, Seth!" the young man further fuelled Seth's simmering anger. Seth pulled the young man's shirt to his feet. He again threw his fist into the face of the young man who was grinning as if he was teasing him. Not once but many times until the young man fell back to the ground. "Seth..." Jadden's words were cut off as Seth stared intently at him. Seth turned his gaze back to the young man and said, "You always talk too much Tom. You and your big mouth won't be able to save you this time. I'm going to kill you!" "Just do it! You'll still be a loser...m
[Mom, how did you know...]" Kai nodded in understanding. There was no way his mother would not know of his whereabouts, let alone that he was with the Luna. He couldn't hope too long to be sure of hiding Edith any longer. [Seth is heading here to pick up the Luna. You have to be ready, I don't want to lose you again, Kai!" Emma said. [I understand, mom! Maybe it's time for them to finally reunite. I have one year to spend with her, that's enough for me,] said Kai in a weak tone. Kai turned his gaze towards the full moon that seemed to be mocking his fate. He wondered why the Moon Goddess was always joking with his destiny. He felt his life was so miserable and always experiencing bitterness. His existence seemed to be a mistake. He could not possibly switch off his humanity; not while he was still by her side. But how long would it last? Kai himself didn't know the answer for sure. Feeling disgusted with his own life was not the path he would take after he handed Edith over to th
"NO...Edith! What have I done to her?" Seth could only kneel on the ground looking at the body lying in front of him. His body felt stiff and difficult to move. He wanted to embrace her, but Kai was already pulling him away from Edith. "You're always such a jerk, Seth! You keep on hurting her!" Kai snapped. "I didn't mean to hurt her, Kai!" "I hope she can control herself when she wakes up," Kai said, which sounded ambiguous to Seth. "What do you mean, Kai? Edith...I killed her. She had no heartbeat when I touched her earlier!" "Your anger always makes you lose your mind. I wanted to explain when I was at home, but you dragged me here and made Edith come after me. I'm already very annoyed with you, but you deserve to know everything. Just help me bring her back home!" Kai shifted his form into a black wolf and walked ahead of Seth who was already carrying Edith on his back. Seth felt Edith's cold body. His mind was wondering too much about what Edith was up to. He didn't want t
