It happened again. Emily and her gang members had decided to toy with me and had taken my lunch and fed it to Mark. The only terrifying dog in the pack. I could not help but groan. I stared at the sky and wondered why Alpha Elijah decided to put both humans, the ones who knew of their existence and werewolves together in a territory. I cannot even fathom what the old slag was thinking about.I groaned again as I eyed Mark, who kept barking and twitching his stupid eyes at me like he knew he had been fed my lunch. How those girls managed to get into my house was far away from what could be in my idea.My name is Cody. Popularly known as the weak human in the pack. My mother was eighteen when she had me. She stubbornly refused to listen to her parents and came down here to the Crescent pack to marry my dad. Unfortunately for her, she had been too weak to bore me as everyone thought I was going to end up being a werewolf like my father. My mother, Helen, died few minutes after giving bir
"So how was school?" My Dad asked as I walked in. He was working on the microwave which has been behaving funny lately. He had promised to call the repairman since his last attempt to fix the fridge failed, but as usual, he didn't."It was okay," I told him, going to drop my bag on the small table beside the fridge, where we kept a few important books and a trophy I had won in school. "Did you hear about the Prince's arrival?"He laughed. "Who didn't hear about it? I'm sure the girls in your school are going crazy over him." He chuckled, standing up straight. "Just like how they did over him back then, I tell you, women couldn't keep their eyes away for a second." And that's why he's my Father, the man who showered me with all his ego. "But I met your mum, and she was the one who had my attention...the most beautiful woman I had ever seen." I couldn't see his face because his head was still in the fridge, but the crack in his voice broke my heart.I never discussed it with my father b
Adam wasn’t only shocked by what I had just done to him, he was also amused. I could tell that by the grin that was laced around the edge of his mouth. He glanced at me, a spark I never seemed to notice before behind his eyes. “You, my little mate are going to be a whole lot of work.” He said. I didn’t want to gauge the meaning behind the statement. I casually glanced down till my thoughts were interrupted by the bell. We had maths class next. With the look of things, I wasn’t sure I was going to be let off slowly by the Prince. I decided to try my luck anyway. “We have class, we should leave.” I say as I proceeded to try to walk past him. To no avail. Adam blocked my path. “Huh?” I said out loud, genuinely confused. “So cute.” He muttered, then shook his head. “I believe we have a lot to talk about. I can tell this is overwhelming to you so I’m going to give you a few days to think about it. Let’s get something clear. You are my mate, and I’ll be damned if I see you go to another
He was standing in front of us. Adam was in his signature cloth, black expensive jeans and black T shirt. There was silver chain on his chest with the letter E as an initial. His eyes raked my body from the top to the buttom and then his eyes landed on my waist, halted at the hand of Jimmy that was casually resting there before glancing back at me. His eyes finally landed on our faces. He blatantly ignored mine ans acted like I wasn’t there when he finally addressed Jimmy with his deep voice. “Maroon, thank you for the help of earlier.” His eyes glanced back down to my waist like he couldn’t help it. This time, Jimmy removed his hands. I could tell he was now uncomfortable. I was starting to get uncomfortable too. “It’s no problem Prince Adam.” Jimmy laughed nervously. It was so fake I had to glance up at him. “Err, yes. We have to go now.” I butt in. Adam didn’t even bat an eyelid at me. His eyes remained on Jimmy. “Goodbye, Maroon.” He said and side stepped us. Both me and Jimmy
I wasn’t looking forward to school today. The plan was to avoid everyone, including Jimmy. Seeing Jimmy meant I’d be creating attention to myself and that was the last thing I wanted to do as I stared at myself in the mirror. The ashes of the wilted particles from the sky during the midnight was still very much obvious. It was going to be getting cold soon. Here, in the woods, we had no specific weather. We just went along with whatever the moon goddess was going to be throwing at us. I guess we are casually walking into winter. I shivered. I hated that season the most. Dad was always coming home tired from cold duties at night. I sighed. Looking around me, I could tell that there was a difference in the air in the morning. My body and mind had gotten to used to the repetition of everyday, still, without life and breathless. This morning was different. All air around me felt alive. Even I felt alive. I closed my eyes. Adam’s gave blinked in front of mine and I shut my eyes open immed
I was once again left alone with my thoughts, walking through the halls. I was so absent minded I hit someone by mistake. Wait, I knew they perfume. Cherry flavored- oh no. “Well, hi ugly.” Emily’s tone was laced with more bitterness than it always seemed to have. At this rate, I was starting to think bumping into the wrong people was my talent. “It’s simple for you to ignore me human, why won’t you? You’ve gotten the attention of the whole school and my prince, anyways.” She was now glaring at me with her two other friends, Jane and Marie beside her. They were like the mean girls no female ever wanted to cross. Ever. Well, except I bumped into them.“Just leave me alone Emily. I don’t have the time for this.” I tried to get past them and failed woefully because they suddenly surrounded me. “Oh yes, I’ll leave you alone. Right after I do this.” That was the last thing I hear before I fell into total blankness. The wall was white, I closed my eyes. My vision was too sharp and blurry
I was so weak I didn’t have the strength in me to go for school the other day. I was able to convince dad to go to work, that I was fine. The last thing I needed was the old man breathing down on my neck when I was trying to be at peace. I needed rest. My mind briefly smoothed itself into thoughts of Jimmy. He had been so caring about me the other day. I wondered what had happened to Emily and her gang. I didn’t care, as long as I didn’t get to be assaulted by them anymore. I just wanted to be left alone. Alone. That reminded me of the Prince. I knew the mate bond had something to do with the fact that my heart leaped and danced whenever I saw him. He might be the Prince everyone was happy about. He wasn’t that to me. I couldn’t deny the fact that he was far from a eye sore. I simply wasn’t interested. I didn’t think I was going to be interested anytime soon. Sighing, my feet cradled the ground as I released myself from the beds hold, walking to get some food. I ran across Mark, the
The one day I tried to fight Emily back, I ended up with a broken rib and a broken arm. Dad had been so worried and scared. I remember watching him on the sick bed, watching him weep and calling out my mum’s name, he was crying about how he didn’t know how to do it like her. And that was when my perspective changed. I realized I wasn’t only human at physical but I was also human at heart. I never wanted to hurt someone like Emily had hurt me. I never saw myself hurting anyone. I wanted to make people laugh, not be the reason for their tears. Emily had watched me groan. The werewolves that had been around had done nothing. They didn’t laugh, but they loved the thrill of watching someone weaker than them struggle with strength. I realized then, that I wanted to be human. One of the reasons I didn’t want to be with Prince Adam. He was everything I didn’t want to be, everything I hated. And now, he wanted me to mate with him and be his princess. Never. If that was the last thing I was goi
CodyI was sitting next to Adam, after he had forced me to drink and almost finish a whole bottled of water. Apparently, drinking water helped drunk or tipsy people. I was starting to get to my senses back a little, but I was still lost in that haze. The same haze that tempted me to want to jump around, and dance around the airplane. That same one. Adam was next time, and he had not said a word to me after, except force me to drink more water. At this point, it felt like we were both ignoring each other, when it was indeed far from it. I just wanted to take a break, and not think too much about what was going to happen next between the both of us. Remy had indeed said some things that were starting to just clear on my head. The things she had said had been true, but the way in which she had passed it was what I was not going to agree with. It had not been as much of a big deal as she made it seem, and I did jot know nothing to clear on that. It was very obvious Adam was still pisse
THE PRINCE’S DIARY, 9, November, 1999The end is walking slowlyCrawling blindly in the light Cradling my head with might My other self is staring at me through the ghost of a mirror. And I detest myself for seeing her. Yet, I cannot lose her. Her feet are barely touch the floor. Yet she stands so tall I have to crane my neck. My other self is walking towards me, about to crown my head with thorns of pain and beauty. Beauty through the pain, My other self is staring at me through a broken mirror. Mirror of my broken self, mirror of the broken soul She is screaming, Screaming silently at me for leaving her to decay. Leaving her lost, to burn To end. The end is walking fast. Moving like the wind Moving till I can’t see. Silently gazing at the way the wind rushes towards the water. The sunset, drinking in the beauty of the sky. Beautiful. Amazing. Wonderful. Your heart is dancing at the triumph against sadness. And it’s quietened down the wailings. The bones of your form are e
Remy then got up, like if she wanted to be eye to eye with Adam, like she wanted him to understand what it was that she was saying so clearly. Although, Adam still towered over her, she refused to back down. “You mean how the both of us take care of our business and we don’t make it to the part where everyone notices that something is this wrong with us? Adam, wake up. I can sense your immaturity over this plane. I get the fact that you have never been with a mate, neither have you ever been in a relationship. But watch everything that is going. Watch her, watch the way she kept staring at you in the car ride. Did you even hear the things you said to her? Did you notice how nervous she was to take the plane rides, and how she kept closing her eyes to take deep breath, to inhale in and exhale, she also spoke to herself at some point because there was no one there to comfort her, there was no one there to hold her hands. You just came over buckle her seat belt, walked away, and then
I was still in the plane, waiting for that moment was going to get to me. His pace was slow, it felt like he was walking to me, as if it were a movie, I wanted to count each and every of his step, if there was a way I could. My eyes shone with anticipation, and at the same time, I felt this excitement in me, I could not wait for him to get to me. I was sure my eyes shinning from afar. At that moment, I did not care if me and Adam were not on speaking terms, I did not care if he was going to get to me, and remind me of how annoyed I was, at him from the beginning. I just wanted him to get to me, he was like the prince that was running towards his princess, And there was nothing that could be done about it. It was not like I wanted anything to be done about it. I just wanted Adam in my face, I wanted him to come close to me. It was at this hazy and dizzy thought I realized that I might indeed me more drunk than I had thought. My mind was clouded, and I could only breathe heavily at th
It took several hours before the jet finally took off. I finally released my nerves, and Adam disappeared back to the other side of the room, where he had been right before the plane took off. I was starting to get convinced he had something to do with the other girls who were now on the other side of the room, but I did not bother myself. “Let’s get drinks. I asked the air hostess to bring us some booze, let’s go gets wasted, or what do you say?” Remy asked, and I nodded my head. I sure needed something off my head, before I was going to overthink every single thing, and think that Adam was indeed doing something with girls over there. “I want us to do a toast. I mean, we should do a toast to cody, joining us for the first time, and to the better lives we are all hopefully going to get.” It was so obvious that Ella was drunk already, and I was starting to wonder when it was that she had started drinking. She was doing a toast, while it was very obvious she was the only one holdi
We finally got closer to the plane. The fan was already moving really fast and high. I studied the body of the plane more. There was just no way anyone was going to move close to something like that without having to access every part of it. I looked closer and I saw the same endearment by the side, that had been on Adam’s neck when I had first moved closer to him and accessed him. “Is that the royal symbol?” I asked, and Ella nodded. She was absent minded now, of course. I looked back and noticed that men had moved closer to us. Alongside them was Ben, and the three other guys who were also in black. Right now, they all had sun glasses on, even if the weather was really cool. “She really does love him, doesn’t she?” I whispered to Remy, as we both watched Ella lose her sene or thinking as she stared at Edward, who was also smiling at her, he kept stealing glances at her, and I was very sure that at that moment, he was clearly not listening to whatever it was that Adam was tellin
I was still in Adam’s arms waiting for the time where I was finally going to get off him. I felt suffocated from everything. I just wanted out, and Adam was not even letting me go. I tried to pull away several times not to no avail. I was puffing and groaning in frustration when we the car finally stopped. That time, he let me pull away. I went out of the car after Remy, and stood close to her. I was not planning on staying with Adam anymore. His thought infuriated me. He was just a selfish person that did not care about other peoples feelings when he was being a possessive bastard. I grunted once again. That was when I took in our environment. We were in a tarmac obviously, it was so wide and the wind dusted the skirts of my top. There was bushes surrounding the whole wide space which was located in the middle, making it give this nature vibe. I was very sure this was far away from the pack because I was we have driven for over two hours, roughly. I had no idea somewhere like this e
I was about to move completely away from Adam, when I felt arms wrap me up from nowhere. It caught me off guard, and I knew that I would have panicked, and screamed my head off if I was not in the car, and the rest of the Lycans were not next to me. I glanced behind me, and that was when I realized that Adam had removed his arm and had adjusted them to come close to me. All this while, I had thought he had simply done that to avoid me. I wanted to smile, I would have, if there was still not this renaming prickling hurt that was still in my chest. He had a weird way of showing how he actually felt. In a bid, still in my own anger, I refused to put my hands around him back. He was not just going to come from anywhere, and act in anyway that befitted him, just because he felt like I was looking at another person. When of course, I had just been appreciating the beauty which meant nothing more. He was always the one stressing on how much I did nit care about his feelings sometimes, bef
We were in the car already. I had not realized that the only occupant was just Martin Remy, and me and Adam. Adam was stalked to the other side, pulsing with his arms folded. It felt like he had not even realized that I was sitting next to him already, my head was starting to radiate with heat. Sometimes, there was just some way that he acted that did not sit well with me. Adam could be such a baby. I had not even done anything with Ben, and at the of the day, he was being mad at me for nothing, Adam was such a possessive somebody, it came down to really annoying, Remy understood the struggle I was going through, so she just sealed her lips. I knew she was taking a struggle, not to say anything to Adam. Since he was going to behave like a kid, I was simply going to ignore him all through till he dropped all his tactics. I was not in any mood to speak to anyone that was was not going to speak to me too. My eyes went back to the bracelet that was sitting pretty on my hands. It was gli
