Brayden bit his bottom lip. Even his mind’s telling him not to engage, his body’s reaction gave him away. Eva’s gaze settled on the thing between his legs as it became more obvious by Eva’s act of removing her top garment.“Come on, Brayden. Are you too scared that Harper may see? Oops, last time I checked, she didn’t care about you at all.”Eva gave a throaty laugh.She can see her plan is working. A little more push and Brayden would lose his walls. By then, it would be easier for Eva to trick him by her feminine moves. “You don’t know anything, Eva… and I will repeat what I said. I need you out of my room.”Eva couldn’t give up. Brayden may be saying something with his lips but his body’s saying otherwise. It will only take some time for him to drop the act. Perhaps more skin would do the job?Eva repositioned herself in an open position on the bed. Brayden watched her every move, not even blinking even once, and she’s liking the attention he’s giving her. He’s hating that he’s co
It felt… unexplainable. The feeling of being basked in moonlight again. It has been long that he hasn’t felt that anymore. It’s liberating. The soil beneath his feet, the wind in his face. All in all, it felt like the first time again. It felt like he’s finally being himself after nights of just looking outside the window, wondering what it would be like to be running and chase the moon.Eva smirked, just observing the Beta from a distance. Something about Brayden’s wild spirit made her think he’s the best person to team up with. Their same insights about everything just seemed to be in line with each other and it’s a rare thing to find. With that, Eva decided to join him for a late-night hunt.“Wait up, Brayden!”The betan wolf didn’t turn when he was called. With his fur as dark and black as the night, he was easily lost in sight. Eva kept up, her brown fur moving like a huge rock amidst the tall grass. “Keep up, Virgo!” – Brayden called out, taunting herBrayden couldn’t help but
Brayden’s ears alerted. If it’s Eva, that would mean she has left the terms of the game to help him. It’s like admitting her defeat by coming to his aid. Does he need it? Absolutely. Does that mean their game is over? None of them knew. What’s certain is that the bear chasing after Brayden’s tail is the more important priority of the moment. It’s the bigger problem, not the game.“EVA?!” Brayden screamed, head turning to the direction of the howl. No one answered, but there’s a subsequent howl. This time, it came from a different direction. It came from the right. The path where Eva took as part of their game.If the second howl belonged to Eva, then who is the first one who did?“EVA?! IS THAT YOU?!”None answered again. This time, Brayden let it go for some moments. He found the bear to be the bigger person to the situation. He shook off the howls yet.But then it’s the one who has revealed themselves. It’s not Eva. It’s someone else… and the she-wolf was covered in blood. “Alo
Brayden couldn’t believe his eyes when suddenly, a cloud-like form descended from the sky. It continued to adjust and reach to Eva and the laying Alora.He kept quiet and only observed. Brayden couldn’t help it. He knows what’s going on. He already knew this is a manifestation of the moon goddess. Moon goddess, hear my pleaHere is your servant, here is your sacrificeWith hands held high and prayers set up to the skyThe movements of the clouds and the alignment of the starsMake way for the goddess, let him reign forevermoreMoon goddess, hear my pleaCome and take me away, learn that the seeker is meBe my answer in the midst of all the confusionBe thy guide, rain down your miracle-Eva repeated the chant until the cloudlike form enveloped Alora. It thickened and looked like it was dancing around Alora. Brayden covered his mouth, still unbelieving on what he’s witnessing at the moment.And then after some minutes, the cloud dispersed in thin air. Brayden watched in anticipation,

It didn’t take long for Marion to notice something is going on with the Virgo.He just came back from the city with three of his men. As they approached the roundhouse, they noticed that it’s not the usual. It’s not peaceful, not even vacant. It’s like there’s an event for everyone. Only the Alpha wasn’t invited.“Did I miss something?” The first man beside Marion shook his head.“Are you also seeing this? There are too many Virgo inside and outside the roundhouse. Did I forget an important event today?”The other two men shook their heads, supporting the first man’s denial. Marion flinched and moved forward. They came in horses, and each of the horse has a baggage attached on its either side. They moved forward and with it, Marion’s anticipation of the matter increased. Maybe there’s some sort of good news, a cause for a celebration. As they neared, he saw Damon come out of the roundhouse.“DAMON!”Damon heard Marion call his name and immediately approached his direction. The form
Alpha Draco’s army has been gathered by his loyal right hand, Luis. Most of the Red Blood pack are men and young children and because the Great Alpha wants to secure his victory with the war, he has trained the young men to be part of the army too. Children aged 15 years old and older were recruited by Luis and was trained everyday to be a part of their team.This happened to be an advantage. To Alpha Draco, not to the children who was given no choice. They weren’t given time and opportunity to enjoy their youth. Instead, they were given the heavy duty and responsibility to defend the pack and their alpha. “The weapons have been purchased and sharpened, Great Alpha.”Luis did his daily rounds and reported back to the alpha. Alpha Draco nodded, impressed by Luis’ sense of initiative.“I was only about to tell you to do it.” – he said“I already figured since… you know.”What Luis meant is the death of the human (Jonathan). Because they cannot push him to disclose the whereabouts of th
The day after was the weirdest day for Alora. Waking up and seeing all the people the Red Blood pack has labeled as “Rebels” at the foot of her bed, she felt like a criminal standing in front of the decision council.“She’s awake!” – Norton said, poking Asher on the waistAsher shushed Norton. Harper and Damon whispered to each other’s ears and then Harper excused herself from the scene. In her mind, Alora’s still an enemy. An enemy who doesn’t deserve this much attention from everyone.“Alora…”Asher moved to stand at the side of her bed. She held out her hand and Asher held it. “I knew everything. Damon told us. You’re very, very brave. You risked your life for the good reasons.”Alora smiled. Finally, after a long time of overthinking on howshe’ll fix the bond between her and her brother, they have made up. It’s funny that she still needs to have a brush with death before the two of them finally have peace.“Thank you, big bro. I’m glad I made you proud. Thank you for accepting me
