Two cars were moving very fast through the darkness. Almost like racing on a circuit. They drove without wanting to stop. The driver pays attention to the forest to his right and left, then looks at the rearview mirror and looks at the car following him, making sure the car continues to follow them without any problems. From the look on his face, worry and nervousness were very clear. In the middle passenger seat, there was a middle-aged woman who still occasionally shed tears. Her hand gently stroked the hair of the seven-year-old boy who was sleeping on her lap. The woman tried to look tough, but her tears wouldn't cooperate. It just keeps flowing without being stopped. Meanwhile, the car behind them had three men in it. One of them was a teenager who was unconscious, covered by a thick blanket. His face was covered in wounds and looked dirty. They were all equally nervous and worried. Occasionally, a twenty-five-year-old man, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, would see
Lyall ran non-stop in the forest. Every day, he would train alone in the forest or in a room provided by his uncle. Several times, Zaiden tried to train together, but Lyall always avoided him. After the incident that night, Lyall chose to avoid and did not want to talk to anyone. All he did was train. Lyall stopped running to rest for a moment and caught his breath. Although he was new to the area, he had begun to get to know the ins and outs of it. He always walked through every forest that surrounded the town of Fortress Hill. Other werewolves? Of course, he met them. But some already knew who Lyall was. Lyall prepared to run again until he heard a scream. It was a woman's scream. Only once but it was clear and loud. Lyall looked around. There was no one. Lyall tried to listen with his werewolf ears. It was quiet but he heard movement not far from where he was standing. He also smelled the woman's scent. An ordinary human. Lyall followed the scent. Not long after he saw a girl w
Punch after punch was heard clearly from a fairly large room. The punches sounded loud and echoed in the room without stopping. Even though it had happened many times, the punches did not decrease or weaken. They became stronger and harder. His body was covered in sweat that was flowing profusely. He also kicked occasionally. "How long are you going to do that? Isn't that too much?" Zaiden walked over. Lyall ignored him, he continued to hit the punching bag. "Exercise makes you healthy but too much makes you sick." Lyall still ignored Zaiden. He continued to hit without stopping. "Gosh, that kid, he really ignoring me," Zaiden grumbled softly, even though he knew Lyall heard it clearly, thanks to his werewolf's sharp hearing. "HEY..... HELLOOOOOO???!!" Zaiden's shout made Lyall stop his punches. He took a deep breath and also rolled his eyes, but the next second, he returned to hitting the punching bag hanging in front of him. Zaiden snorted in annoyance. He threw the towel tha
Lyall sat on the school cafeteria bench staring out the window. He didn't know why he was there. In his head, he just wanted to get out of school, but his legs dragged him to the cafeteria. More precisely his hungry stomach. But after getting a tray full of food, he didn't eat it. He just stared at the food with a frown on his forehead and folded his arms in front of his chest. Not long after, several children his age sat at the same table and even sat next to Lyall carrying trays full of food each. Two of them, Nathan and Miro asked him to go to school together this morning. They laughed and threw food at each other. Lyall rolled his eyes and then snorted in annoyance. "Oho... Look. It seems like this prince looks upset." One of them, Trey, started to mock. "Hey!! Don't be like that to him. He's a prince! A royal." Luciano said the word A Royal dramatically. "Forgive him, Your Highness. He has a mental issue." This time Luciano seemed to mock him. "What? So (throws some chips
The kitchen was busy early in the morning. Eira flipped the pancakes she made and prepared plates and cutlery. But only two plates. Then she filled one glass with milk and two other glasses with coffee. Since her mother passed away a year ago, Eira has been in charge of cooking in the kitchen. Eira placed the pancakes one by one on the two plates, along with the arrival of one of her brothers, Charlie. "Morning, sweetheart." Charlie put his bag on the floor and sat on one of the chairs. "Hmm.... The smell of the pancakes is amazing." Eira just kept quiet hearing her brother's praise. She added syrup to the pancakes and then washed her cooking utensils. "How was school?" Charlie put a small piece of pancake in his mouth. "As usual." Eira sat on her chair. "If there is a problem, tell me. Anything." Charlie asked but Eira just stared at him for a moment and then drank it. Charlie looked at his only sister. His sister was indeed a quiet child, but usually, she would tell him any
The sound of fast footsteps and gasping breaths could be heard on one side of the Fortress Hill forest. It got faster and faster. Lyall tried to push his limits. He kept running non-stop for a few minutes, until his legs gave out. He ran through the forest, up the hill, and over the rocky path. After a few minutes had passed, Lyall stopped running. He bent his body for a moment then stood back up and put his hands on his hips. Sweat was pouring down his muscular body. He was not wearing a shirt. Only his black shorts and running shoes. This was the second time he had changed his shoes because he had run too much. It seemed like his training craze was getting bigger. Suddenly Lyall's body froze. He sharpened his hearing. He was sure he heard something and it was fast. Lyall looked around and was alert. Something seemed to be circling him. That thing became closer to him and.. Zaiden came out of the bushes and laughed. Lyall snorted in annoyance. "Did I scare you?" Zaiden teased wi
Zaiden was still standing quite a distance from Lyall and Eira. He watched them silently. Lyall should have turned into a monster and Zaiden was wary of that. But nothing happened. He heard Lyall's heartbeat which was still beating faster than normal. But not as fast as before. "What's wrong? Has he changed?" asked Theon who had just arrived. "Uhmm... I don't know. I don't understand. He should have changed by now, seeing his condition earlier. But this is strange.." Zaiden was silent for a moment. "Wait, what are you doing here?" "I thought you needed help." "No Theon, you could get hurt or die." "Then you don't?" Theon looked at Zaiden then sighed. "Two is better than one. And beta is on his way here. While alpha is out of town but beta has informed him." Zaiden nodded. "For now, let's just watch." "Wait, that's... Eira." Theon said while pointing at Eira. "Eira? Who is she?” “The third child of the Lurvine couple.” “Lurvine? That name sounds very familiar. Where
Lyall hurriedly put on his shirt then grabbed his bag and went downstairs. Yes, he was going to be late. He really couldn't sleep for the past two nights since the incident in the forest. He was still thinking about what happened two days ago. He was sure he would change. But strangely when he looked into Eira's eyes, everything changed. But why? His father once said that if he met his mate, he would know for sure. He would experience changes, from his heart beating erratically when he was near her, her natural scent that only he could smell and one thing for sure, he would be madly in love with our mate. Lyall tried to remember if he felt all that. No, he didn't find any memories of it. Instead, he wanted to get as far away from Eira as he could and of course, for him, Eira was a strange girl. Lyall headed to the dining room. "Good morning, Lyall." Greeted his uncle who was also the alpha of RaClaws, Carl. Carl came to Lyall's house early in the morning bringing beta Ron. For so
