“What?!!” I couldn't identify who yelled the loudest. My companions? Or me? “What the hell are you talking about?” I demanded, frowning at him. “You are not human,” he repeated, his gaze certain as he looked at me. “Not human? Do you even know what you are talking about?" I folded my arms, amused. "If you are confident about this, then, what am I? A werewolf” I pursed my lips, waiting for his reply. “I can't tell.” He got to his feet, shaking his head like he was still trying to figure me out. "It's confusing." “That's because I'm human,” I deadpanned, glaring at him. “I realize it's too much for you to come to terms with, but I'm not one of you guys. I was born human and have remained human since I met them.” I gestured towards my lovers, who were still too stunned to utter a word. They kept glancing from me to Da Ankora, and back to me. “No, you are not.” Da Ankora shook his head. “There's something within you. I can't tell what it is, but it feels like someone sealed your
“Mara!” The call came once more before I could figure out what was going on. “Mama!” My reply was instantaneous. I realized I couldn't control my speech, and my body, as it started moving in an opposite direction from the one I was taking before the call. “Mama, where are you?” I asked, stepping deeper into the forest. I wanted to stop, to check my surroundings, but my legs did what they wanted. I was like a prisoner in my body, and could only watch as the little body I had continued walking deeper into the dark. I wasn't scared. There was this strange emotion I had the deeper I walked. Longing. Happiness. Excitement. Family. Different emotions coursed through my body, one that puzzled me more than the discovery I had a few minutes ago.“Mara?”This time, the voice sounded near. A smile broke out on my face as I hastened, running towards the direction, with my arms open and my lips spread up in a wide grin. “Mama!” I called out, giggling as I jumped over fallen trees like I had do
I sat up on the couch, a look of urgency on my face as I watched him. I tried not to act concerned by his words, but it was difficult not to. "What's it?" My voice was low like I was trying to prepare myself for what he was about to tell me. And I was. I knew whatever he had to say must be grave."Promise you will listen to me first." "As long as you don't claim I'm not human, we are good to go." I relaxed back on the couch. "What did you discover?" I applauded myself on how composed I sounded. You wouldn't know I was battling with my inner self, thinking back to the dream I had, and the urgent expression on Da Ankora's face. He looked towards my mates, who were silently watching us. They were letting me decide what I wanted, knowing I was the one he came for, and not them. "There's this prophecy," he started, his gaze returning to my face. "Everything written in there pointed out —""That I'm not human?" I interrupted, knowing it was where he was heading with his words. "Not on
My mates, thankfully, said nothing concerning the prophecy Da Ankora spoke of. They knew I didn't want to talk about it, so they let it be, opting to act like everything was okay when it wasn't. The dreams persisted. At first, it was just walking through the forest with the older version of me that I realized was my mother. The more I dreamt about her, the more it seemed like a part of my memory that was sealed off was finally crawling out from a shell. Each day felt like I was getting closer to the truth. “What's wrong?” Blue asked, massaging my aching feet. “Still thinking of the dream you had?”“Hmm.” Nodding, I peered down at my mate, who was pressing the soles of my feet, to relieve it of the pain. This morning, I forced them to run a lap with me, to clear my mind of everything happening, and I was paying the price for it. My abdomen was hurting like hell, and so were my feet. “You don't have to worry about it.” He smiled, gently squeezing my toes. He didn't ask what the dr
I hummed a low, familiar tone as I combed through my curly hair, smiling at my reflection. My blue eyes shone with happiness. I couldn't tell why I was happy, but my younger self seemed to know, and I could feel it. The emotion was intense, deep, and gripping. I grinned, reaching out to touch my image in the mirror. “Pretty,” I mouthed, giggling. Seeing my younger self in the mirror gave me a nostalgic feeling. It reminded me of those nights when I cried myself to sleep because of the teasing I got from the others. I was the youngest, making it easier for them to bully me. Not only that, but I stood out with my curly blonde hair and blue eyes. Most of them had brown eyes and black eyes. I was the odd one in the bunch. Sighing, I dropped the comb on the table. As I ran my little fingers through my hair, I couldn't help the nagging feeling I got. Deep down, I felt like there was something I was forgetting, something that I shouldn't have. I couldn't recall what I was doing befor
FREDAs suddenly as her screams started, they subsided. Blue and I exchanged looks, puzzled, scared, and alarmed. Hearing her scream like someone in agony wasn't something we would ever wish to experience again. Her sudden silence panicked us as well. It took a few seconds for us to spring into action. I carried her up from the couch, while Blue raced towards the connecting door.At that moment, taking her to Da Ankora was our best bet. We couldn't tell what was wrong with her. The writhing of her body and the screams were all new to us. Da Ankora was the only one who could tell us what was going on with our mate. With the door open, I rushed through it, with Blue hot on my heels. We didn't bother knocking on his door. We barged in, our gaze frantic and our hearts thumping so loud, it was deafening.Da Ankora didn't ask questions. The minute he saw us, he made provisions for us to place her on the bed in his study.“Her memories are about to be awakened,” he said before we could ask
BELLAAs I stared at my startled mates, everything came rushing like an avalanche, threatening to swallow me. The memories I tried to deny, those Da Ankora spoke of, came back with a vengeance, almost taking my breath with it. I recalled all that happened when I was a kid, and how I was sent away from home when danger came knocking.I wasn't human like I had always considered. I had a complicated background, one I wasn't very knowledgeable about. Mother was supposed to initiate me into the pack before they attacked us that night, prompting her to send me to the only place she guessed was safe for me. Earth. “Bunny?” Blue's voice startled me from my thoughts. I glanced up, wondering why he looked brighter. I was certain the room wasn't that bright when I lost consciousness.Their blonde hair looked sun-kissed, almost golden, and his eyes. Fuck. They shone like emeralds. Sparkling, but not hurting the eyes. They looked different like I was seeing them through a new lens. “Is she our
BLUEWe were stunned. Yeah, shocked speechless. None of us expected this kind of thing, but it was happening. Right in our eyes, stunning us more than we had ever been since we were born. True our bunny always shocked us each time, but this time, she took it up a notch. I ran my fingers through the soft golden fur, feeling a deep thrill of satisfaction race through me. Though Fred and I never mentioned the future, we knew our Bunny wouldn't live as much as we would because she was human. However, realizing it wouldn't be so, was the best gift the goddess, or whoever it was, could bestow on us. It was more than we ever hoped for. Bunny purred, the sound cute to the ear. I didn't know I loved female werewolves until her. I hungered to hear her make the sounds each time we stroked her body, to feel it wash over me like a blanket on a cold winter night. “Don't you think she looks like a large bunny?” Fred asked, smiling down at her. He, too, was thrilled about this. We both were. Know
