ALEX'S POV
I stepped into the morning sun and could feel its impact on my skin. Although winter was at its peak, I could still feel the sun rays enriching my skin. Was so eager on my way to school like a child eager to see what lies beneath the Christmas tree, wondering what the gift contained, so eager to see her, to smell her, I can't wait to taste her.
I approached the school entrance but my wolf senses rose with so much force, as it sent goosebumps across and brought me to a halt, something was wrong, I couldn't smell her. I stood still at the entrance into the school hallway using my wolf senses, I tried to smell her. Something is wrong. I could smell her 12km away, especially when we were in the same building. It means she is not in school yet but I know her to be an early person and it's some minutes past 9 am. Something is wrong. I walked briskly to my car, a red Lamborghini with black stripes. Throwing my bag at the passenger's seat, I pressed the start button and heard the car roar into life. Fear and anxiety flowing through my veins as I drove out of the parking lot and heard the screeching of my tire. Students rushing into the school turned and were staring with wide eyes. A kid beside the entrance into the school hallway removed his sunglasses to see what was happening.
"Please, let her be ok" that was my silent prayer.
Driving through the streets, home seems to be on the other side of the world. I drove with so much speed 220km per hour, red flags mocking me on my windshield but I cared less. I need to get home as soon as possible. Something is wrong with Star, my wolf is starting to worry.
Reaching home, I stomped into the sitting room. No one was at the site, I was moving towards the dining area and heard voices. Barging into the dining room, mum saw me and stood still, followed by Justin, Cain, Allison, Styles, and Ethan.
"Alexander," Mum called out. "What's wrong?" She could see worry written all over my face.
"Justin, Ethan… to study, now..!" I barked out.
Mum looked directly at me and understood what was going on. She nodded in response. "Allison, you all come with me." she ordered, waving towards them.
Looking through the window at the right side of the study, I asked "Who has her?". Justin and Ethan both looked at each other. Turning to face them, I looked directly at them "I asked a question, who has her? "
Justin came forward with his hands tucked behind his jeans and said "Well it seems Infinite has her"
"What?" Screaming, I jabbed the window so hard and it shattered to pieces. My veins popped out on my forehead. All I could see was red turning. I saw the shelf positioned close to the now shattered window and threw it right across the room. I was getting bigger, my body temperature rising, my emerald green eyes now orange were fused with anger. I moved to hold Justin by the throat but was stopped immediately by Ethan grabbing me by clasping his hands on my head through my back. He pinned me to the wall. My face directly at it, I could smell the wood sprayed with chemicals.
"Calm down Alex" , that was his wolf speaking to me, trying to calm me. When he noticed I calmed down. He let go of me, patting my back.
"I told you both to always watch and guard her against something like this. Now Infinite has her" I screamed pulling at my hair as if that was the cause of my dilemma.
"We always watched over her but that day, she was taken, there was someone else. Someone helped capture Star. That person doesn't belong to the Infinites' Pack and the person knew our every move. Like the person could predict our next move." Justin said. And as a matter of fact, he was tense.
"What do you mean?" I tried to understand what was being said.
"Someone in our pack is betraying us." Ethan suggested with so much confidence.
"Why do you say someone in our pack? What makes you believe it's someone in our pack?" I asked, confused.
Adjusting his jacket, Ethan said, "That is so because we couldn't trail the person. Whoever that person might be, he is strong, stronger than we can imagine, he is fast, and has a different eye color which consists of our pack's color, emerald green and orange. He could block other wolves' senses, my gut tells me it's a man."
"Are you sure about that? The person can also be a woman. Never underestimate the power of a woman. They can be deadly." Justin completed the last sentence folding his hands at his chest.
I turned to Ethan and saw him looking straight at Justin with raised eyebrows
We all stood in silence. I know for a fact that, the only person with such power in our pack is an Alpha and momentarily there are just two Alphas, which is Dad and I, but what baffles me is what Justin said. A woman with such power? But who and why? Help infinite.
Trying to get my head around what is happening, I asked "When is the next blood moon?"
"In the next two months?" answered Justin.
Two months from now. I placed my hands behind me and asked Ethan, "And when is the next full moon?"
"Fortnight from today. " Ethan said after much consideration.
Something is certainly equivocal and I need to handle this.
"Ethan, Justin, get the pack ready. We are going for a walk." Saying this, I knew exactly where to get my answers from. A smile crept onto my face. "Star, please be strong for me."
INFINITE'S POV
"Boss, she is awake. "I hate being interrupted, especially when I am busy with a blond, sucking. The site before me was a site to behold, two sprightly portable breasts and a nipple pointed towards me begging for my attention coupled with her legs fully parted. I am not going to forget this one anytime soon. But what is in the other room is more important and bidding than what I have before me.
"Set the table and get her ready." Ordering my servant, I gave the blonde one last long and hard kiss. Wait for me, fully naked and parted." whacking her on her ass, I stood up and left.
STAR'S POVAlex……. no this is not Alex but a blond lady with the same emerald green eye color but this time, it was laced with black all around the Iris. The lady opened the door and came into the room. She was dressed in a leather jacket, a red top beneath ripped jeans, and boots. Her hair was wavy and stopped at her mid back, styled fashionably. She was a badass. When she turned to face me, I could see a mark on the left side of her neck. Two marks like she was beaten. I gasped and placed my left hand on my mouth. Holding the sheets close to my chest with my right hand I crawled so fast and close to the bed headboard, my back came in contact with it and it hurt."Hey, relax! I am not going to hurt you. " She said, coming closer to the bed with concern written all over her face.St
For one excruciating moment, silence reigned deep within me left in my thoughts. Winter is fast approaching, so is the blood moon. My pack was all round the place, guarding it. Justin and Ethan at my both sides, Allison and Cain by the entrance and Styles at the rooftop, to notify us if any vehicle or person approaches. I can't go anywhere without them. My pack except school that is but anywhere that means real business, I go with them. We all have known each other since childhood, having each other's backs supporting each other. Separation seems like an impossible prediction.Looking at Stella or Kate or whatever she is being called was not helping at all. I was really getting pissed off just hearing her voice. Star has not been home for over 24hrs and here she is giving me excuses. I would have broken her nose by punching her so hard in the face,but I can't. She being mum's distant cous
When I walked into the sitting room, Aunt Kate was nowhere but it smelled like a wet dog. "What was here?."The kitchen was downstairs, at the extreme of the room. It was a joint kitchen with a dining room. I stepped into the kitchen and it was properly cleaned. Turning to walk out, I noticed two used tea cups at the counter. Saying to myself, "Aunt Kate had a visitor… but who may that be? She is rarely visited, I thought to myself with a frown on my face. Where could she be?" "Aunt Kate, Aunt Kate" Screaming on top of my voice. Where is she?"Finally you're home. I thought you lost your way home" Aunt Kate said, walking from the sitting room into the kitchen with a red hand towel.Rushing to hug her, she opened her arms, welcoming me.
STAR'S POVIt's prom night, fully dressed in my red shiny handless short gown with suede hand gloves to my elbows. My hair was in a stylish loose bun decorated with pearls matched with diamond necklace and earrings. I put on a black sandal heel . Applying my lipstick which is deep red in color, Aunt Kate stood behind me and watched in awe.I turned to look at her and she said "You look so much like your mum. Beautiful and smart. You are ready and who is your date?" Right after she asked this question, there came a suddenly knock at the door."Just guess. It's a surprise. " Giggling, I went to the door and opened it. My knight in shining armor stepped in with a bouquet of red roses in his left hand, dressed in a tailored dark tuxedo. His hair gelled back. He looks so handsome.
"Aunt Kate..., I don't understand what I saw and how is it possible that I could see that?" I said to her but she didn't move or blink but she was staring at me. How is that possible? I placed my right hand on her chest and could not find her heart beat. It was then it hit me. "She is dead". I felt the agonizing pain seeping through my veins and deep into my heart, shattering it into pieces with every passing second. I looked into her eyes and could see how lifless it was. She felt cold, really cold.Coming close to her face, I called out her name. "Aunt Kate.. Aunt Kate.""Star, she is gone." Alex spoke.At that moment it began to snow. The earth seems to be in accordance with the predicament that just happened. Rocking back and front, I screamed "NO
FINITIE'S POV"Were you able to get what I asked?" I glared at Red because I knew she was not able to get what I asked for and I want to know why."No boss, I was not able to get it." she said this while bowing down her head.Bowling my hands into fists on my table, I punched it with so much force, and a hole was formed in the middle of the table. I yelled "....and why was that? What stopped you from carrying out my orders?.......""......It was Alex. He was there……" she stated without blinking.I jabbed the table the second time and a crack sound could be heard. Looking straight at her, I said".
TRACY'S POVWiping my face, I stepped out of the shower with slow and steady steps. I saw my clothes on the tiled floor close to the bed just as I left it. I got dressed. Looking at the mirror, my reflection staring back at me, I looked so pale and empty. My eyes bloodshot from crying. Taking a deep breath, I tied my hair into a high ponytail and was about to leave the room but was stopped midway on my way out. The drawer closest to his bed was closed but the key was left hanging. My curiosity took over me and I moved slowly towards the drawer. With every step I took, I looked back at the door. When I was at the drawer, I knelt down in front of it and tried turning the key but it didn't budge. I tried again but it was fruitless. I removed the key and inserted it back. Turning it to the right and it clicked open, I smiled at myself. I opened the drawer and there was an envelope lying in the da
UNKNOWN POVThe night seemed cold and peaceful except for my troubled mind. Standing at my balcony with a glass of scotch in my left hand, I could smell numerous passers by walking on the pedestrian lane bumping into each other. Not caring who they come in contact with. I could see and hear vehicles honking which expresses the drivers impatience and arrogance. Looking up ,I noticed there were no stars visible in the sky and no moon. Just the thought of Star being with Alex pisses me off. Flashbacks of Alex kissing and hugging Star came through. Gripping the glass in my left hand with so much force, I broke it with my bare hands. I felt nothing, no pain, just the smell of iron . But I was bleeding, not much to take me to the emergency unit but enough to stain my floor. I didn't bother because I heal fast. Nothing is moving according to my plan. Nothing. I feel so frustrated.
With the fire ball still tightly and heavily wrapped in the cotton cloth, it's glow couldn't be seen. Sometimes it doesn't seem like you're gonna make it out alive in some situations, I battled between life and death."Where is the ball of fire you stole?" Alpha Silver slammed, shaking the cage with his heavy boots.Sam released a gaze at Ben, who stared blankly at Alpha Silver, understanding his question. Sam has less life in him now than he had when he lifted Cilia up the other time."I'm asking you, bastards! Where is the fireball you stole?" He chuckled, observing their mood. "If I ask that question again, I promise that one of your heads would go for an answer!" He spat, and the shock on the faces of Sam and Ben turned into grimaces of shock. He smirked, his
W"could this mean?" Ben said, lifting it from the whole."Hold on! Hold on Ben, I think there's something more in there!" Sam jerked, checking the hole with his hands. He couldn't see why it clearly while it was in there, and he had to expand the hole some more."Wow! Come check it out Ben, it's a glass container with a lid."Yeah, go ahead, let's open it!"Ben leaned forward with a quick yell. Sam turned with a puzzled expression. Ben was about to open the container, but he wasn't sure why. After a couple of seconds, his eyes widened as he stared down at the crystal glass container. There was a single yellowish light inside of it. It was an almost steady orange glow. As Sam looked at the container
"Get the fuck out of my way you jerk! Do not bother explaining anything to me, I don't give a fuck about you anymore..! I hate you!!!""It's not what you think Cilia, I was caged!""And what's my fucking business if you were caged? Like I said, I don't give a fuck about you anymore! Get lost and burn in hell for all I care!" I spat. I was even surprised I could utter a word, for there was not even a single strength left in me."I couldn't have left you to suffer like that, Cilia; I was lucked up in a cage, using a magical spell from a witch. I looked for a way to come to your aid, but couldn't find any. But that doesn't matter anymore, I'm here now.""So you expect me to believe such crap?! And who cares if yo
I opened my eyes to vernal sunlight, filtered through the dead leaves. The grassy field was just a few feets away from the riverbank. The sun was warm on my face and the insects hummed around me. With a yawn, I looked up and saw small fluffy clouds of dust dancing across the sky. And then I realized that I was not dreaming, that I was really, truly alive. I woke up to a beautiful sun setting on a blue starry sky. And with a gasp, I saw that I was naked when I looked down to my thighs. Screaming to grab my clothes, I realized that I had been tied to a tree. For a moment I stood in total shock. Then panic began to set in as I struggled to get untied.Realizing I was alone, and that no one would hear me through the dense forest of tall dead trees, I turned around and frantically scanned the landscape for someone, anyone who could help. I turned to the west and for the next several minutes, as I
"What's the matter Cilia?" Melinda came in from the kitchen, with a stream of oatcake on a piece of toast. You could never have too much oat cake. I love eating them.I flinched as I replied, "oh, nothing!""You sure...?""Y-yeah, y-yes yes, I'm okay!""Cilia... You're stuttering""Huh? Stu-, um, am I..? I'm not Melinda, I'm fine.""Hmmmm okay. But I heard you talking to someone, who was that?""Of course not! I'm not. I mean, I wasn't talking to anyone. I was just talking to myself."
Within a matter of days, something had happened. Something more than just a simple rebound. Something to create a whole new level of self awareness. As luck would have it, my life had been conditioned over time to expect such events. Of course, I never asked myself if it was really a gift from God, but I was grateful for it, nonetheless. But it didn't mean I wasn't still feeling the effects, but one thing was certain, that it would pass, and not get any worse.I opened my eyes to a new day, and to the beauty of the world. Everything was still, quiet, and warm. Perfectly still, with just the tiniest hint of summer breeze. As I glanced up, I had a near panic attack. Immediately, I closed them back again as the effect of the sun rays pierced my eyes through the window. Slowly, I opened them again to see a totally different environment. Everything looked completely different. Confused as I
Words failed me as I felt my entire body iced. Oh yeah, it was like I was completely out of this world, entirely! I could see tears welled up in his eyes. Then he brought his head down to the side and said to me in a whisper, "what if I asked you to help me avenge my death, Cilia?""Jeeezzz… Huh? Death...? I don't get it Joey. What do you mean by 'death'?""You won't understand.""Then make me to, because you're scaring me right now!""I know Cilia, and I'm sorry about that. But, you don't have to be scared!" He screamed and paused. The room became extremely cold. I saw tears like blood dripping from his eyes, running down his cheeks, but none was touching the ground.&nb
"Joey.. Joey... Please come fast please! I'm in trouble. I've got to get to you, right now. Help me, please. I can't help the situation here as I don't understand what's going on in my house!""Hold on Cilia, what's the matter? What's happening?""I don't even know! I can't seem to explain anything right now..!. Everything seems to be turning upside down right before my very eyes... Please come over and help me out... Please just come! Please...!!!""Alright, alright, Cilia! Hold on.. hold on please, take a deep breath... Get some fresh air, and I'll be there in a jiffy! Okay girl?I just could not seem to respond after his last words to me, as words failed me completely. My mind could only imagine what
It was a very long and cold night, one of many over the years that make up the story of Rocky and Bea. I'm not entirely sure how to make it any shorter. I woke up quite late, stretching myself out on my bed, trying to reach out to Joey, for I needed his warmth but I was surprised that he wasn't there at my reach."I could remember we slept here together on this bed; where could he have gone to this early in the morning?" I thought to myself, glanced around with my eyes partly open.Then, I got out of bed to take a look around the house as I walked down the stairs, I felt a strange electricity in my body. I paused and looked downwards, in-between my thighs as I felt this hot liquid coming out of me. I pulled my legs apart, and took my time to look at my womanhood. "Oh my God!" I gasped at the sight, and as I touched the liquid,
