“My sight is what I need to be complete. Losing it was both a blessing and a curse but all in all, it was experience. I learned to survive without it. I got the chance to develop my other senses because I had to depend on them but that doesn’t mean that I was okay with being blind. I need my sight back” Carson said to him.Miguel nodded and he started to chant. Carson felt an overwhelming power and he fell to his knees, weak and drained. The voices around him started to fade slowly until everything became silent. He couldn’t hear Miguel anymore then suddenly, light filled his eyes. He hated to use the statement but it was blinding. He closed his eyes and blinked continuously, trying to adjust to the brightness. He eventually passed out. Miguel opened his eyes and saw that Carson was unconscious but Lois wasn’t back from the magical realm. It only meant one thing, she was dealing with something that they couldn’t see in the physical realm.*****She felt s sharp sting at the back of he
Carlos knew everything that was at stake. All of the legacy wasn’t going to matter if there was nobody to inherit it. He needed an heir, he needed his heir but Carlos had decided that he wasn’t going to rule. He groaned as his thoughts started to swallow him up. He ran his hands through his hair and slapped his forehead. Things around the house has been a little tense ever since he killed the maid. Everybody has been extra careful around him just so he doesn’t rip out their throats in anger, in his rage. Well, he did want the people to fear him and that was working out for him just fine, only it wasn’t working out the way he wanted it to work out. He was angry at the world, at himself, at his kids. The door to his room opened and his sister walked in.I have had my ears and eyes on the ground for a while. Miguel is dead, he wasn’t the one that broke the curse” she said to him.“That leaves us back at square one. We don’t know where they are or who broke the hex. Maybe you are not as p
“What is going on with you?” She asked him, dropping her fork to look at him.“What are you talking about?” He asked her back.“There is an unsettling storm, raging in you. It is like a ticking bomb, ready to blow up. What is eating you up so bad?” She asked him.“Something in all of this story doesn’t add up” Alexander said to her.“What story?” She asked back.“Why Carlos wants be dead so much. I am not trying to ward off my responsibility or my duty to end his life but why does he hate me so much? I barely even know him. I haven’t done anything wrong to him. I need to find out why. That may be the reason to all of this insanity” Alexander said to her.“Carlos has killed more people than I can count. Why he did it wouldn’t make any difference to me. I can assure you. If you insist on finding out why he did it then maybe you should as your grandfather but no matter what sad story there is to why he did it, I am going to kill him, if you wouldn’t do it” she said to him.“And what if t
Alexander laid back on his bed that night, unable to sleep. He kept tossing and turning from one side to another. He has been getting stick on the whole leadership assignment but this was the first time that he had questions that couldn’t be answered because the answers didn’t exist. He wanted a way out, a way that would get rid of the bloodshed. He didn’t want any more blood but it was looking like an impossible task. Everybody wanted Carlos dead. Alexander wanted him dead too but he wasn’t sure that was the way to get things done. If he killed Carlos, another person was jus going to rise up and take up the mantle, building on whatever legacy that he left behind. Alexander sighed and he turned to lay on his side. He couldn't believe that he was having sleepless nights over someone that didn’t deserve it. Maybe he should just go with the crowd and let them have his head for all of his crimes. Alexander wasn’t sure if that was the way though. He closed his eyes and decide that it was be
"And I am done with the dishes" Alex said as he dropped on the couch beside his mom."You are going to be eighteen in a few days, Alex. Don't you think that you should leave the dishes for Arielle? You are going to spoil her rotten this way" his mom said to him."She is just eleven mom. She doesn't have to do the dishes. I have to head out soon. I need to head for football practice and then make it back in time for lunch. After lunch, I have some assignments to catch up with so I might be a little unavailable for family time until I finish up with my assignments" he said to his mom."Just make it back in time for lunch and then finish up all you have to do before dinner. I don't want you skipping meals. You would be eighteen soon and you would transform on the first full moon after you turn eighteen. I don't want anything to go wrong. Soon, you would be looking for a mate and then you would have to look your best. I don't want you looking thinner than you already look and I certainly
"I had this conversation with my mom and we got to talk about Julian. I don't know how long we can keep up with whatever life that Carlos is providing us with. My mom is excited that I am turning eighteen very soon. How do I tell her that I have transformed since I was fourteen? There is nothing to transforming. How do I tell my own mother that I have control over how and when I transform? How do I tell her that I am different?" He asked his friend."You don't. Transform when you turn eighteen. Transform at the first full moon and no, do not jump into your wolf form they way you do when we are about to race. That would give her questions. Transform the regular way. Act like you are in pain until you are a full wolf. I still think that there is something that your parents are not telling you. I don't think it is safe or wise even to keep any of this to yourself any longer. You have to talk to your mom about it at some point" Bennie said to him."How do you want me to tell her that my f
“What do you mean by I shouldn’t have access to the internet? This conversation is not even about me to start with. It is about you! So don’t try to make it about me” Arielle said to him.His mom watched them argue and she smiled at them. There was no way that they would ever grow apart. She looked at them as they kept arguing. She stopped them later and then when they were done with dinner, she decided to let Alexander go and she did the dishes instead. The next day unfolded quickly as she headed up to wake up her kids. She went to Alex’s door first and realized that his door was locked which was something that he would rarely do. She tried the handle before she knocked. “Alex? Are you okay?” she asked him.“Mom?” she heard.*****After dinner, he headed to bed. He tried to keep his eyes open because he wasn’t mentally prepared for another nightmare or vision but as soon as he got on his bed, his eyes started to close. He closed his eyes and he found himself on the lonely road agai
He touched it and looked at his sister. He started to give it some thoughts. He looked back at the drawings as he flipped the pages of the book. He rubbed his forehead and he looked at her.“Let me guess, you don’t remember drawing it” she said to him.“No, I don’t. It is almost like I didn’t do it. I remember seeing it in my book. I just don’t remember drawing it” he said to his sister.“I know. It is pretty obvious from the way you look at it. We have to go. Mom would be here soon and she would want to know what kept you up here with me. I don’t want you to have to tell another lie” Arielle said to him.Alexander nodded at his sister and he headed down to the dining table with his sister. After breakfast, he headed to his room because he needed some alone time. He decided not to lock the door anymore. It was easier if his mom walked in on him in his wolf form than for him to tell her that he was already a wolf and there was no big deal to it. His sister said that he was going to tra

Carlos knew everything that was at stake. All of the legacy wasn’t going to matter if there was nobody to inherit it. He needed an heir, he needed his heir but Carlos had decided that he wasn’t going to rule. He groaned as his thoughts started to swallow him up.

They got into the car. the drive so Miguel’s place was a silence one. Alexander had too many things on his mind and it felt like everybody was lost in their own thoughts. Alexander knew that there was more to the story than he was being given by his mum because it made no sense that Carlos was acting out on his own. Alexander .contemplated on asking his grandfather. He knew that if anybody else knew the truth, it was going to be him. Regardless, he was not willing to ask his grandfather in front of people, especially not Carson. Carson might have seen his father as a monster, and maybe that was a good thing. Alexander wondered what Carson would do if he got to find out that his father was the way he was because of the mistake of one burning flame wolf. Alexander shook his head and pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind. He turned to look back at Carson and Lois.“How are you feeling, Carson?” Alexander asked him.“I’m trying not to get my hopes up. We don’t know the outcome of th
“I guess life looks different with Carlos. .Although I was expecting different. I can’t believe he would kill his own wife. The rumors had it that she slipped and fell from the balcony. Hearing that he killed his own wife just makes him more of a nightmare And I really hope that he gets what he deserves” Alexander’s grandfather said to him.“My father thinks he is on the right side of this war. He believes that the burning flame wolves should be eliminated. I have never understood his hate But at the same time, I have never seen him so scared of anything in his entire life. Something tells me that this battle is bigger than any of us. Either ways, it is not an excuse for him to have done the things that he did and for that, he has to pay!” Carson said to him.“And He will when the time is right but now, we have to focus on getting your sight back so that we can prepare for battle. Something tells me that your father is not going to sit back and let the two of you explore the world. I
The woman stopped and turned around to look at him. A bright smile lit her face up and she walked towards him. Her arms wide open as she took it him in a hug. He could tell how glad she was to see him.“Look at that. You are back. I wasn’t expecting you to be back so soon. What happened? The last time we saw, you said you were going home to see your family. I didn’t think you would be coming back anytime soon. I was hoping to see you in three years time, kiddo. What went wrong?” She asked him.“I can ask you the same thing. You look like you haven’t opened this place since I was last here. What happened here?” Alexander asked her, diverting the topic from his miserable experience to hers.“I came here one morning. I found the place all bashed and broken up. Some people said that it wasn’t people from the neighborhood and it was from Southern Crest. Someone said they were trying to warn me. It was better to be safe than sorry so I chose to be safe. I didn’t open up the diner anymore. I
“You look like you had fun” Lois said, turning to look at them.“We took a while, I’m sorry. We just got really distracted with the shopping and time flew past. You already got dinner” Alexander said as he entered with their dinner packs and dropped it on the center table.“Well, at least we have something for the road now” Arielle said as she headed up the stairs.“Someone set your parents house on fire” Bennie said to him immediately he heard the door close.“I guess news do travel fast in the valley” Alexander said to him.“You know already?” Lois asked him.“Yes, Arielle and I started the fire. We did it” Alexander said, dropping on the sofa and taking a slice of the pizza in front of him.“I thought we were supposed to be keeping a low profile! How is that a low profile in any way?” Bennie asked him.“Arielle needed to do it and she did it. Also, according to what you just said, nobody knows who did it. That is the point. We would be out of here in less than ten hours. What do we
Alexander waited until she was in the house before he drove off. He and Arielle headed for their house first. When they got there, he noticed that she sat still, not making any attempt to leave the car. He touched her hand and she looked at him. She had tears in her eyes and Alexander sighed. He didn’t know what to tell her to make her feel better. How could she feel better? The last time that she was in the house was when her mom was being killed. He nodded at her and cleared his throat.“You really don’t have to do this. We can’ always do this another day” Alexander said to her.“There is no other day. We have to do this now. I need to see the condition of the place. I need to know how much damage the did to the memories left in the house. I need to see if mom and dad still have anything in the house, something can take along with me to remind me of their sacrifice” she said to him.“I don’t think you would ever forget it but there are a lot of things in the house. I am sure that yo
