Izon's PovThe world was always a small space to me. With not much significance even though there was so much life in it. Because everyone was too modern for what they really were deep inside. Everyone was too detached from the truth of their very own existence. And only few people like me were willing to be honest enough to embrace the monster that hid beneath us all.I had been the first to choose the forest as a new home when we had been banished. Because I had known ever since that it was our true place. That it was where we all truly belonged, irrespective of race or power. Because unlike the others, I faced the sun that we were wolves; and knew that wolves were never meant to live in castles or under government. One of the reasons I hated the pitiful revolutionary Renaissance that the pack had taken to. The new advanced race title they had given themselves. And as an excuse to be more humane. When humanity crumbled upon itself before we were born out of its ashes.I internally d
Flanagan's PovThe process had been something I simply stood glad was finally over. The wise words, the solemn acts, and the crocodile tears. I honestly never expected it would be this difficult to convince a teenage girl to change her mind? It was harder than I expected, as I had to do things I never expected I would; and since the day Eleanor died.I cried. And even though it hadn't been real, it was still. Because I had remembered her mother in a brief flash. And against my own will, the tears then flowed into reality. I knew I wasn't lying to her in saying I was her father, but I also knew I didn't look acceptable enough to be anyone's prized parent. So I chose to put on a play. And one that would appeal to her emotions, just enough to overshadow the doubt my physical appearance would bring.It was a heinous act even for me. Having to pretend my way to victory. But any plan that worked was a good plan, no matter how close it was to dishonesty. Besides...we were wolves. And for cen
Myra's PovI really hated sitting here. And I disliked talking to father like a mime; using my head and face to gesture, while screaming inside my head like I was insane. It was weird to see father's straight face even when his own words became stern; while my entire expression moved like a wave in the ocean, flowing in rage along with my feelings. I knew the forest view ahead of me was beautiful, but I wasn't in the headspace to truly see it for what it was. As I was livid at fathers words and annoyed at his heartless sentiments. I lost my temper and called him what I truly felt he was. The anger in me had reached breaking point, and the words had simply burst through my thoughts, and came out loud enough for him to pick it up in his own heart. I now hated this stuffed carriage front even more than before. And I deeply wanted to break out of the door beside me and run away, but it was locked. And I couldn't lift myself to lunge outside without my arm first brushing against Flanagan'
Colin's PovI really didn't want to be here. I had things I needed to attend to. And more significant things for that matter. This stupid family reunion was a bogus waste of my time; and I didn't even know why Noah had called this meeting in the first place? Because who were these people anyway? These brothers he said? I didn't know any of them? I hadn't seen any of their faces till today?And I was sure Noah hadn't seen them until recently either, aside from the fact that he told me. From the way he was still so unsure of himself in dealing with them. He looked like a shepherd trying to lead a herd of cattle. And I watched him with crossed arms, and raised brows; wondering what he had in mind as the purpose for gathering us here? He sat just ahead of me; thoughtful as he scratched his jaw and ran his hands through his hair. I could see he was controllably clueless, and wasn't making a show of it."Why are we here Noah?..." I asked now. "Really...tell me?" I stressed. "Because I have
Noah's Pov"I will not tolerate any conflict between you..." I yelled, belligerent. "Watch your tongues, and watch your attitudes...we are all valuable members of this meeting and if not, none of us would be present here; so watch your tone as well...""I will gladly watch mine if they agree to do the same..." Colin answered, pert. "These buffoons are growing wings where rags should cover, and I for one won't be insulted..." he snapped.I looked from him to the brothers. And specifically at Donovan. I knew he had been growing overconfident; and for a long time now. I, too, was slowly getting annoyed at his brazen boldness. "You need to respect those above you Donovan..." I said now. "You've been reckless with your words ever since, and even with me..." I noted. "I know you think you have full right to do so, but this is not your younger years...this is the present; and there are consequences enshrined for insubordination in this same time..." I said fiercely.I finished speaking and
Myra's Pov"That is a really daunting task you ask of the people around you..." Fathers voice rang again now. "It won't be that easy to just make all the bad things that have happened disappear..." he said. "Giving you space would only leave you even more alone with your thoughts...and asides being able to see them already, I can guess they aren't pleasant..." His voice was calmer; lowering in volume and increasing in depth. He now almost sounded like the inner voice in my head itself. And it felt so strange. I knew he was my father, and that we were family; as well as the fact that we were meant to see each other's thoughts for our own safety, but I hated the constant intrusion. I didn't like him being able to breach my subconscious anytime he preferred. I hated it even more as it was one-sided. He could see my thoughts but for some reason, I just couldn't see his? Because since our conversation started I had been trying and trying hard to read him. To see what was going on in his o
Noah's Pov"Wait what?" Colin asked suddenly"Did I speak too low for your hearing?" I asked, raising a brow."No, I'm just confused at what you're saying Noah?...you want to do what exactly?" he asked again, frowning deeper."I'm going to stop the feud between us and the Omegas...""And how do you propose we do that?..." he jumped. "There aren't any Omegas even left alive?" he pitched. "That's...that's impossible!"And I became silent now. I hated that it had to come to this; but it was inevitable. Because I knew I'd eventually have to tell him. That I'd have to let him in on the truth. But I trusted Colin, and anytime I had anything I couldn't handle alone, I went to him always. I was back in my seat again now and I rubbed my eyes in a sigh as I decided it was time to finally explain."That's what I used to think as well..." I said, turning. "I used to think they were all dead too Colin..."His face stayed frowning at me strongly, and I could see the confusion in his eyes, yet someh
Noah's PovI didn't know what to say. And I sank deeper in my chair as Colin watched me with eyes surprisingly forlorn. He didn't move or flinch as he actually waited for me to give a response. And I frowned internally as I wondered why he was so curious to know?"I would welcome them as I welcomed the brothers..." I answered. "And I'm already prepared to work with them in searching for more of their people..." I explained. "So if I find more of them it would actually be of help to us; because I'm planning on talking to the Council soon..." I added. "I'll hold a meeting and bring all the Elders together for a discussion on the issue... And the more Omegas we can find, the stronger our argument..." "So I would accept more Colin...only if we can find them..."And as I closed my mouth, his face relaxed back into bleakness. He instantly lost his shakiness, and darting eyes. He didn't fidget with his hands or glance at the brothers anymore. As his whole frame stilled almost immediately, a
