Jaeleah stopped for a while and listened closely and discovered that she could hear Yana and Wenda's voices inaudibly. She placed her hand on the wall and it went through."What kind of wall is this? Or is this what illusion is about?" She thought as she tried to put her leg on the wall and it also went through."This is it!" She snappedJaeleah moved back to the other end of the room and sprinted against the wall and made it out of the illusion to the same room they were at first but this time, the light wasn't blinding."Yana? Wenda? Where are you, guys? Can you hear me?" Jaeleah screamed out and heard them answer to her calling."Just jump out of the room, it's just an illusion"Few seconds later, Yana and Wenda got to where Jaeleah was and Jaeleah rushed to hug them."I thought I was going to lose you guys""It's fine now but what kind of illusion was that?" Yana asked as they disengaged from the hug."I think it was only to bring confusion but now that we've solved it, let's proc
"I think the only option we have is to jump over the waterfall" Jaeleah said after about twenty minutes of sitting in silence."What? There is no way I'm doing that with you" Yana said"Then you can stay here while we find out a way out of here" Wenda scoffed and got up.She and Jaeleah opened a door and Wenda jumped first, Jaeleah looked back at Yana who was still seated and jumped as well. Yana reluctantly got up and walked to the door, she looked down the waterfall but couldn't see it's end."I hope this isn't my end" She thought as she jumped too.They found themselves at the front of the waterfall and they could faintly see the water blocking a cave and behind them, was a tall wall."I think there is a cave behind the waters""Let's go then"They walked passed the waterfall and got into the cave and it immediately lit up."Wow! That's creepy!" Jaeleah exclaimed as she panted heavily for some seconds.They walked together further into the cave, the light on the wall directing thei
"I don't know how this happened, we were all together" she sobbed silently"It's fine. You must be tired, get some rest now and we'll find a solution in the morning" Liza said"What if it's too late by morning? What if they die because of me? I would never be able to forgive myself again""It's never too late, let's sleep" Maya said as she help Jaeleah get up.Maya tucked her in and they all slept.*Alvin and Miss Peyton cleared the table, spread some blankets on it and was about to sleep when Alvin grabbed Miss Peyton by the waist and pulled her closer that they could feel each others breath on their skin."Why don't we make another baby? In case you don't find her" He said jokingly with a smile but Peyton responded with a frown."I was just joking, sweetie. Let's make a younger version of her. I've missed this body of yours." He kissed her lips briefly"I've missed you too" she said and locked her lips in his.Alvin pulled her away, not more than an inch away and nuzzled her cheeks
In the real world: two hours into the second ritual."Isn't it just to bring aunt Yana and aunt Wenda back? Why is it taking so long already?" Amber lamented and rolled her eyes."Something must have gone wrong" Liza said"Then what would you have us do? We just have to wait till they return" Miss Peyton said"Sure!" Liza snapped.*Jaeleah grabbed her mom's hand and teleported back to the real world with her but was shocked at who she saw.Jaeleah woke up and the people rushed to help her - Maya held her in her hands."Did you find them? Are they waking up soon?" Liza asked curiously but Jaeleah kept looking around"What's wrong? Talk to us, Jaeleah!" Miss Peyton yelled at her and Jaeleah shivered at the sudden sound wave."I still haven't find them but I brought my mom along with me, have you seen her?""Your mom?" Miss Peyton scoffed, licked her lower lips as she raised to her feet."Is this how greedy you can be, Jaeleah? These two sacrificed themselves for you to gain access to t
"Who are you? Why were you looking for us?" Wenda asked"Quit the drama, guys. We're heading back home now!" She stated and grabbed their hands.The two ladies wriggled their hands out from Jaeleah's grip and pushed her to the ground."We don't know you. Why do you want to take us? Where are you taking us to?" Yana yelled"You like it here? Is that why you're behaving this way? Fine! You can stay here, only on one condition""Which is?" Wenda asked"I have to take you back home and you tell the others that you like it here, then you can come back""Now, there's others" Yana scoffed."We are not going anywhere with you, bitch" Wenda cussed and the two ladies began to run away.Jaeleah got up and tried to sprint after them but could not so she had to run at a normal pace. After few minutes of running, the two ladies came to a close wall and turned to Jaeleah who grinned with excitement, thinking she already caught up with them. But to her surprise, they turned back with an evil grin on
"Here you go, Miss Peyton" The lady at the counter said and Miss Peyton turned to pay and get the food from her.She looked back and Aria was nowhere to be found. She shrugged her shoulders and left the cafe.Aria crawled out of her hiding place and the lady at the counter raised a brow as they made eye contact but Aria faked a smile."Why did you hide from her? Are you a spy?" The lady's eyes changed as if she wanted to transform to a wolf as she growled. "It's nothing, I'm not just too used to people around me" She said as she blinked her beautiful eyes repeatedly."What do you want to get?""I would like to have a burger and cup of orange juice" She said"Here you go" The lady said, handing her a tray of meal."Thank you" Aria mumbled as she paid and took the tray to a table.*Miss Peyton was walking down the corridors when she saw Alvin approaching."Hey, babe. Are you still mad at me?" Alvin asked as soon as he came close.Miss Peyton shrugged one of her shoulders, "You watched
Maya saw Amber and Adrian kissing and it took them a while to realize that someone was watching them."Mom?" Amber said in shock as she turned back to see her mom by the door."What is he doing here?" Maya growled as she approached them."I invited him over" "To kiss him? Do you know the kind of situation the family is right now? And all you could think of is inviting your lover over to kiss him?" She asked, half yelling."So what would you have me do? Sit all day the room, staring at those performing the ritual? Is that what you want?" Amber talked back, also raising her voice but Maya responded with a hot slap across Amber's face.Amber rubbed her cheek and looked back at Maya and walked out of the room with Adrian running after her.Adrian grabbed Amber's wrist and pulled her to a hug, "It's fine, babe. I never should have come her, it's all my fault""No, Adrian. We are seeing each other and they know about it so they should deal with with if they can't accept the fact that I lov
"What!" Liza exclaimed."How can they be inside of you?""How can I save them, mom?" Jaeleah held her hands as she asked."You have to tale out the power of the box, then they would be free""So all we have been doing is just a waste of time?" Miss Peyton asked."Is there no other way to go about this?" Maya asked, her voice was as calm as ever."There is only one other way and it's too risky, I can't allow her do it""But I must do it, mom. They also have families waiting for them. I brought this upon them and I should be the one to make amends now""No, Jaeleah. I won't say it. Allow me to remove the power and they would be fine" Alicia said but Jaeleah shook her head in disapproval and let go of her hands."We need the power, that is why we have come this far and we won't just allow you take out the power from her" Miss Peyton retorted and Alicia glanced glared at her."It's either you tell me or I find out myself" Jaeleah threatened Alicia"Can I see Raul first?""Sure! He would b
The day of the anniversaryAmber had woken up a bit sluggishly that morning, she was not supposed to spend the night with Ignacio since they planned to retake their wedding vows - it was like they were just getting married for the first time. She got out of bed, her hair was a mess and she sat in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection as if it was new. "Am I still going to exist tomorrow?" She thought to herself.It was 8 in the morning and the make-up artists were at the door but she wouldn't allow them in. She cried for hours before words later got to Maya and she went to her room and knocked on the door."Hey, baby girl. It's me, your mom. Please, open up" Maya pleaded as her heart ached.The door lock made a clinging sound, she later opened the door. Maya grabbed the knob, opened the door, and went in."Hey, child." She called out and took a seat beside her on the bed."I know how you feel but it's going to be fine." She assured in a shaky voice, she wished she had kept
Two years later (a week to Amber's wedding anniversary.)Amber laid on the bed that morning, sound of metal clinging together, aroma of different meal and the chattering of people filled the air but Amber could hardly hear them. Ignacio turned to her and poked her nose."Hey, pretty. What's wrong? It's too early to have that gloomy look on""I'm not in the mood for jokes this morning, please" She said, still not moving a muscle."Why? What's wrong?""You're asking me what's wrong? Really?" She shot a sharp glare at him."Wow! Calm down, babe. I know what's going on in your mind but you don't have to think of all these. Okay, let's look at it from this angle. What if you were diagnosed with a terminal disease and you only have five years to live of which you have only one week left, would you just do nothing and stay in bed all day?""No!" She hesitated"That's the point. I'm sure you're going to live your life to the fullest, explore things and places you want to. So stop this and let
Jennifer was playing with Prince Damon, giggling aloud when a familiar figure walked into the living room. She was so engulfed in the playing with Prince Damon that she didn't notice the man and everyone kept mute and waited for her to look up. Prince Damon threw his ball at the feet of the man, she got up to go get it. Picking it up and standing straight before him, she couldn't believe her eyes - it was Cooper."Cooper? Is that you?" She asked, shocked and surprised. "Yes. Who are you? Why do you have Jennifer's scent but look like Helen?""You should have your seat first, dad" Ignacio said and he he turned at his direction.He wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words so he sat and waited for someone to explain what was going on until his eyes fell on Amber."Yes, you. You have been to the hospital and promised to tell me what's going on. Why do I look this old? The man that followed me down here said this is 2023 and the nurse said that I had been in the hospital
Alicia got scared and quickly called Mr. Raul."Hey, sweetie. Our baby is in danger" She said in a shaky voice."Calm down and explain to me what's going on"Alicia explained what had happened to Mr. Raul."What? What was she thinking? I'll go meet with Alpha Amber now. You go to her and see if you can help her.""Okay, dear" she said and ended the call.She grabbed a few things she thought she might be needing and rushed out of the house. She got into the car, ignited it and drove off at a fast speed. After about twenty minutes of driving, she arrived at the hospital. She raced out of the car and was about running into one of the wards when a nurse stopped her."Please, calm down, ma'am. This is not allowed in here. Who are you looking for?" The chubby nurse asked in a calm voice."Cooper...... I'm here to see Cooper" She panted heavily."Okay, I'll take you to his ward" She said and led the way to his ward but she was rather too slow for Alicia.Once they opened the door, they found
The very next day, Jaeleah went to the hospital where Cooper was. She met a skinny nurse at the reception."Good morning, nurse. I'm here to see Mr. Cooper" She said with a smile but the nurse glared at her and rolled her eyes."How are you related to him?" She asked few seconds later."I can't disclose that but Alpha Amber instructed me to check up on him today.""Oh! You must be Jaeleah" She said with a fake smile and Jaeleah nodded with a glare."I'm sorry. His ward is the last one by the left on the first floor" she said and Jaeleah went towards the direction without saying a word."So pompous!" The nurse cussed.Jaeleah looked back with a grin."I heard what you just said. Be careful!." She warned and went her way.Jaeleah had seen him from the window before she walked into the ward. Cooper was placed on a life saving machine, his skin was pale and had developed bed sore but was neatly treated. She moved closer to him and felt his pulse and other vital organs and she shook her h
A week later (at the Blue pack school)It was the Wolves Day Feast of another set of young wolves and this was special because Alpha Amber and her family were invited and Miss Peyton was going to surprise her daughter.The ceremony started in the early afternoon with one of the school instructor giving an opening speech and followed by Miss Peyton. She was dressed in a bright purple dress that rested comfortably on her knees - she looked deeply happy as she mounted the platform to address the audience."Good afternoon, all. I want to thank you all for honouring my invitation to be here today to celebrate the young wolves who are going to be joining the society today. Special thanks to Alpha Amber, one of our past students for making time out of her busy schedules to make it down here today. Today is a really special day in my life as it helps me reconnect with my friends, family and loved ones. Without taking much of our time, let the ceremony begin." She concluded and loud applaud fi
Two days later, Amber, Ignacio, Angel, the journalist, Iris and Jennifer met at a bus station close to Amber's house. They drove down to a small village in the city where the caller (Amelia) lived. Iris, Ignacio and Jennifer were all nervous while the journey was on - they don't know what to expect.After about two and half hours drive, the cars pulled to a halt in front of a tattered house. They all alighted from the car, Amelia was at the door to welcome them."Welcome to my tattered abode, Alpha Amber" She bowed in respect."Thanks" She mumbled.She gestured them in. She served them some chilled water and sat on one of the rugged chairs."Thank you all so much for honouring me by coming down here""It's our utmost pleasure" Angel said"So, may we please begin the show?" The journalist asked."Sure, go ahead" Amelia responded.The cameras were switched on and the airing began."Good morning to all our viewer. Here we are to round up the story we started last week, with Mrs. Jennifer
Jennifer pointed at a guard and Amber ordered that he be brought out to the front."Are you sure, aunt Jennifer, that he was the one that delivered the letter to you?""I can't be wrong. He's the one" She responded firmly.Amber turned to take a look at the guard."Were you the one that delivered a letter to her?" She asked but the guard kept mute."You think this is a kind of joke, don't you? Give me the gun" She turned to the chief guard and commanded.He handed her a gun and she pointed it at the timid guard."I'll ask just once more. Were you the one that delivered the letter to her?" She roared."Yes, yes!" He trembled in fear."Good!" She let out a soft huff."Who instructed you to give her the letter?""It was Jenna, the woman in the prison. She offered me a taste of her body and In return, I was to deliver the letter to her.""You know Jenna is a hardened criminal and you dare help her against my permission?""I'm sorry, Alpha Amber. Please, pardon me!" He went to his knees a
Jennifer was confused if Jenna really had the power to wake Cooper but she is a real witch and can actually do it. She was about to agree on the deal when she had a rethink and decided to talk to Angel about it first. She took the letter and headed to Angel's room.She knocked softly on the door."Come in" Angel responded to the knock.The door opened and Jennifer walked it. She pulled out a small stool and sat down. She stretched the letter to Angel who received it with her brows raised."What's this?" She asked as she took the letter from her."Read it"Angel unfolded the letter and went through it. "Wow! This Jenna is really the devil. How could she even think of such plot?" She asked rhetorically, her gaze still on the letter.Then she looked up at her."This could only implicate you. I don't think you should get yourself involved in any of this. I mean, if she wanted to help Cooper, she would have done it long before now.""That's true!" Jennifer nodded."I don't want to fall vi
