Shirley, close your eyes for a moment. Okay, you need to rest. I promise when you open your eyes, you will be in a soft and comfy bed. Okay," Amelia said soothingly.
"I did not care for any bed as long as Zane would not be in it. Tell me Lia, how am I supposed to go to bed without him by my side? Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to because I can't fall asleep without him by my side. On every other day, even when I know that he is safe and sound working in his office, I still wouldn't be able to fall asleep until he comes back, so tell me how I am supposed to sleep knowing that he is in a strange pack getting tortured? The thought is making my heart constrict... wait if he is... what if he is no more? " Shirley sobbed, fresh tears pouring from her eyes.
"Shiley! I told you
SHIRLEY'S POVTwo weeks after that incidence, I woke up very early in the morning unlike other days. I took my bathe and went down to join Liam's and Ace's table for breakfast when it was time to eat. As I walked into the dining, I could see the surprise and pity on the faces of all the wolves there though they tried to mask it with a smile. They looked at me with so much pity in their faces....I hate been pitied, it made me want to cry over my situation every damn time and crying was something I wasn't going to do anymore. Today marked the beginning of the day that I was going to keep the promise I made to myself two weeks ago; I would not mourn for someone who is still alive because mourning and crying for him would mean I am affirming the fact that he is gone.. forever. The pity on their faces w
"I will take my leave now Liam, please don't forget to sound the bell after thirty minutes," Shirley said to Liam."Yes Luna, I won't forget. Your thirty minutes will start counting ten minutes after leave here at least by then you would have gotten to your room, so you had better make use of your time wisely or you will end up demanding for extra two hours like Ace suggested," Liam replied winking at her.Shirley gave him a small smile before turning away from him. "Can we talk? Shirley said to Amelia immediately she entered their room."I was about to go look for you Shirl, where did you disappear to this very early morning? I got scared you know," Amelia replied looking at her thoroughly to check for anything different."You don't have to worry Lia, I'm alright. I was downstairs having breakfast with my brother and alpha Liam," Shirley replied."Breakfast? That's... good," Amelia said settling on one corner of the bed. "Come sit so
"I am as fit as a mallee bull, so there is really no need for you to return Lia. Shirley replied, "That would be a waste of a nice dress and good perfume." Shirley replied."Alright then, if you are sure you are fine, I will head back to the bar." Don't forget to call me if you need anything. I will be there immediately, "Amelia said."I'm not a baby Lia, I can take care of myself. "Begone now, I have a novel to start," Shirley replied. "Wait... you said something about not returning today. What's the occasion?" Shirley continued."I met Dominic in the bar and I..." Amelia was saying She was interrupted by Shirley."You met Dominic
As soon as Shirley ended the call, Amelia dialed Nick number. "Hi, still at the bar?" She asked."Yeah, why?" Dominic asked unsurely."I'm on my way back there," Amelia said, revving the engine of her car."I thought you had something urgent to settle at home?" Dominic asked."I didn't have to go home anymore, it has already been settled. I will be there in five minutes," Amelia said."Okay," Dominic replied then he ended the call.Once again, Amelia found herself standing outside Nick's club. Shakily, she nodded and opened the door to go in. She wringled her hands together as the cool air washed over her. She squinted her eyes looking for Dominic, she didn't have to search for long because she saw him descend the stairs."Hi," Amelia said waving at him awkwardly."Hi yourself.. again," Dominic replied.Amelia cleared her throat before saying, "do you mind skipping work for a day? I think I have a lot of explanation to d

"I am asking because that is the basis of this conversation...it has a lot to do with us...me in particular," Amelia replied.Dominic was tempted to ask her to explain further, but he bit his tongue because he earlier promised not to say anything until he is asked."I asked if you believe in wolves because... because... you are staring at one right now....I am a wolf Nick, a full fleshed werewolf" Amelia said. "Why are you staring at me that way? Don't you have anything to say to me? Maybe a question or whatever? Just say something," Amelia said some minutes later."I am trying to find out if you are joking or not... you're joking right? That was a very intense joke," Dominic said giving out a faux laugh."Why would I joke in a moment like this? Do you want me to shift here on the bed so that you would know how serious I am? I can shift if you want me to, though I haven't shifted in the past two months, I don't feel comfortable doing that an
"You are not a horrible person Shirl, you are the most wonderful person I know and there is no need for you to be hard on yourself. If anyone is to be blamed for what happened, it would be Fredrick for betraying his pack and the Moon goddess for allowing such to happen right under her watch.Shirley sobbed quietly as the dream flashed through her mind, some minutes later, she was eventually lured back to sleep by her wolf who continued speaking comforting words to her. When she woke up the next morning, she felt something sticky on her cheeks and when she looked in the mirror, she noticed that her cheeks were stained with dried tears . She wondered why because she didn't remember crying before falling asleep, last she remembered was reading a book and now that she woke up, she had tearstain on her cheeks.'Don't you remember waking up early this morning and crying out for Zane?' her wolf asked her.'I woke up earlier this morning? And I cried? I find that hard t
FIFTEEN YEARS LATERVery early in the morning, Hunter sat on the floor of his room, his back against the door and his knees up against his chest. He was staring at the ceiling with almost vacant eyes, he sniffed, wiping away the tears that had streamed down his cheeks as all the events that happened in his dream whirled viciously inside his head. He couldn't understand why he kept on dreaming about the same person all the time. He started having these dreamlike visions ever since he turned ten and now, five years later, it continued, nothing changed. The way he remembered it happening five years ago was the same way it kept on happening. The man in his dreams looks so familiar yet strange at the same time. In his dreams,
