PEOPLE CHANGE

"Shit!"He cussed, shoving the penknife into his pocket and jamming the drawer close.

He ran his fingers into his hair as he quickly began to think of what to do. Quickly, he shuffled over to Axel's tuxedo and put the key back into the back pocket before going to take his position by the door.

And just as he did, the door opened instantly and Axel marched in.

Feeling a presence, he snapped towards Hayden's directions and his eyes furrowed, pointing a finger out at him in demand. " What are you doing here?" He questioned him and Hayden whose breath had just slowed down pushed himself off the wall.

" You asked me to bring you the paper today." Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, he replied. But then, had he suddenly lost all his memories or what? If he hadn't then why the dumbass question.

Axel stared intently at him for half a minute before taking his eyes off him and going over to his desk. And as if nothing something was off, he scanned through the documents before he o

    GRADUAL PROCESSKeira woke up, stretching out her body as a yawn escaped her mouth. Until her eyes snapped fully opened when she saw the room's interior she's in. It looks like- Her eyes frantically widened, springing out of the bed and yanking the bedsheet off her body.How on earth did she end up here?Her eyes snapped towards the wall clock to see it's striked 9pm. How in the world? No doubt, she's going to be hearing a lot of scolding today. Hurriedly putting on her flip-flop, she ran out of the room.Thank goodness Alpha Hayden was nowhere in sight. Dealing with him would surely be a lot as she believes he was definitely the one who tucked her into bed last night. Had she known, she would have just left from from before the sleep kicks in.Going into her room, she went unclad and went into the bathroom to take her bath. Coming out, she quickly wore a black crop top and a faded jean before hurriedly packing her head in a bun and making her way out of the room.On getting to the ki

    SOMETHING FEELS WRONGThe rest of the day went by pretty fast and real quick. Keira was able to avoid any more drama but nonetheless, she hoped today has the brighter side of yesterday's happening. After the conversation that went on between her and Alpha Westley, she couldn't help the gagging feeling.Not when he doesn't even allowed her to mention a word. Instead, he did all the talking.No doubt, it was his position and the authority he holds at work. He needed not to tell before she know she has to let him give the command while her job was just to follow it.But can it keep going on that way when? When if the five Alphas were to keep her five rules, whose will she follow? Or whose task would she leave unattended to and attend to the other? This situation that are seemingly about to place her in is a big one- In which she's not so sure she can bear."I haven't seen you outside today Keira. You're still on the bed and your meal is lying right there discarded on the floor. What's th

    FEELING LOSTHer eyes snapped up to meet his immediately. Was he for real? With her fingers fiddling with the hem of her top, she was taken aback when he grabbed her hand and forced her inside.Taken aback as he slammed the door behind her, she gulped down a bile of nothingness." What are you doing here?" He instantly asked, his eyes almost boring holes into her forehead. " I feel like…" she made a stop on her words, reasoning it out. Should she tell him or keep it to herself? Moreover, what happened yesterday night doesn't mean they are now buddies or best pals. It'd be better if she just say nothing and go into her bedroom to fight her demons by herself." Nevermind. I'll just get going." Giving him a tight lipped smile, she made to take her leave when he rooted his arm by the door, hindering her from making a move.She gazed up at him since he was quite towering over her. His expression holds boredom and at the same time impatience, and the way he was looking right at her, it fel

    JUST SO CLINGYNo sooner had Keira gone into her room when the door made a creaking sound. Since she wasn't so fast asleep, she threw her head back and eyed the door but alas! It was Moon that just slipped in." What the hell are you doing in my room?" As fast as lightening, she sat upright on the bed and half yelled, her voice so high-pitched it woke Rihanna up. Turning around on her side to see what had caused the uproar, her face also twisted into a frown likewise Keira at the not so good sight." I came here to see how good you're getting your life in check meanwhile you've caused me much more ruin than a person can ever wish for." Moon's lips twitched as she voiced, folding her arms over her chest as her eyes flickered in between both friends." I never done anything to tamper with your life. If anything, your life is yours to deal with and not for another person entirely to turn around to the other way." She responded, taking a look at Rihanna who was just as much as interested

    A SCUMBAG " Let's just round up the game." With eyes so enraged, she stalked towards Keira while Rihanna shivered in fear, looking out the opened door while considering the pros and cons of her next action."Move any further from there and see just what am going to do." Taking to take a good stand by the door and at a safe distance, Rihanna spat quickly, her eyes going back and forth behind her. Moon who was just about jumping on Keira made a quick stop, snapping her head towards the challengingly figure, "You sure know no one would believe you right?"Rihanna sneaked a peek at Keira who on getting the memo grabbed a pillow and knocking her down on the head with it, she raced out of bed. Moon fell onto the tiled flooring, a groan emitting her breath; not quite expecting it.However, before she could even think of standing up on her feet, Keira had jammed the door close on her before racing down the stairs with Rihanna following behind her."Wait up-" Rihanna was calling unto her wi

    GRADUAL CHANGE Just as she rounded the corner that was to lead to the stairs, a hand shoots out and dragged her back into the certain corner. When it suddenly clicked into her, her eyes widened a huge fraction and made to scream when an index finger took a spot on her lips."Shh!"She stilled, her eyes turning the shade of red. Unable to help it, she shifted her gaze down at his finger that's still etched on her lips. Its texture feels so overwhelming and surprisingly comfortable. Feeling his stare, she quickly snapped out of the trance, her face jerking up to his. "I…" She opened her mouth to deny the obvious when the sound of someone stalking down the stairs snapped his attention away from her. He retreated her body backward before taking a peek down the hallway that was now void of any sight." Is there a stalker in here?" He mumbled more to himself as he took a step forward, taking even more closer look at the hallway. It was just within the space of a second. Where had the pers

    HE JUST MIGHT "Take back your word, kid." Keira grabbed her by the legs, effortlessly swinging it here and there. Only stopping when someone pounds on the door. As fast as that came, Keira quickly left her legs and it bounced back on the bed. Rihanna jolted up into a seating position, her eyes going over to the door. " I'll open it." Rihanna volunteered, climbing out of bed and moving towards the door. Opening the door, her eyes met with Alpha Jayson's. " Hello Alpha." She quickly formed a greeting while Jayson looked over her shoulder." Is this your room or Keira's?" He asked after nodding in return to her greeting. Rihanna immediately began to think of just what to say. Nothing is going to happen if she says she just came over here for a visit, right? She quickly shook her head negatively." Nope, this is actually Keira's room. I just came over to-" she tried making up an excuse but then he cuts her off, "Great! Where's she?"She clamped her mouth shut at once. This wasn't her fi

    THE PACK AT HEART Years Ago..."Axel, think you need to reconsider this. With every thing that has happened, it seems you are having problems keeping the interests of the pack at heart,”“How dare you... ?”Axel began. “No. First, it was your father telling only you about the treasure. Second, Andrea informs you that there’s a particular lady out there who can help the pack grow stronger. And now Jaxon says he knows how to work the secret from this lady to find a mate, when all of us up to now don’t have mates...” “You are getting the facts wrong,”Axel cut him short as he took a step closer to him. The two men came stood facing off to each, inches away from engaging in a fist fight. “So, this is it. You want to take over as the next Alpha don't you now. Well let's see how up to the task you are at bringing me down,” “I would be more than happy to do so.” Damien came threateningly close to Axel. They atmosphere was charged with a lot of tension between them. “Stop! I said stop,

    "At first, he had tried to entice me by showing me all that I would stand to gain if I accepted his offer. According to him, his pack was large enough to accommodate us and he would be responsible for our safety, that way we wouldn't need to fight off enemies all by ourselves. That made so much sense but I could not accept it." "This pack means more to me than just being a pack. It's a remnant of Crystal pack. I can't just team up with some other pack who had no idea what we've been through. Besides, I discovered that Kappa is somehow involved with Alpha Lundamous' son. I can't have anything to do with a pack who teams up with the one pack that killed my parents." He remained quiet, not wanting to interrupt for fear that she might come to her senses and shut up her emotions like he had seen her do to others. It was a huge surprise that she was revealing all these to him and Hayden was sure she was only doing that because she thought he was someone else. Speaking out would make her r

    BEEN THROUGH A LOT He was starting to feel discouraged after running for a while without any sight of the alpha.He had no idea if he had followed the exact path she had taken but he had seen some paw prints on the wet ground and had simply followed. But currently, he was beginning to doubt if those paws belonged to the alpha.Wiping the sweat that had now creased his brow, he sighed heavily, wondering if he should just return or continue his search. Would she even want to see him?After listening to Kunata say shit about him, he was not so confident about the Alpha's feelings for him anymore. Though she had not said anything bad about him — except that she would kill him if he turned out to be an enemy; his heart was still hurt by those words — Aiden didn't know how she was feeling inside.Was she beginning to have some second thoughts about him? Would she listen to Kunata and send him out of the pack? Or would she let him stay but withdraw herself from him?Surprisingly, he didn't

    DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE I had been waiting for close to thirty minutes yet no sign of him. Did he think I was a joke? Had he deliberately accepted to meet me just to stand me up for hours?I raked a finger through my hair, trying to control my anger as I stood at the foot of the baobab tree we had agreed to meet at. This spot was one of the secret places we could meet and I had personally chosen it so we could have our conversation without being seen by nosy wolves in the pack.I let out a big sigh, still wondering if I had been played. Had he done this just to get back at me? I didn't want to believe that I had been stupid enough to get played on like this.To be honest, I would not be surprised if he didn't show up. Somehow, I was expecting him not to. It had been years since we last had a proper conversation and I was not sure he liked me anymore to want to be around me.Nevertheless, he should have just told me he was not going to come rather than lead me on only to abandon me to m

    BURST OUTShe looked at me, her blue eyes watering as her lips quivered."I don't know. He left. He didn't want to hurt me so he left. He felt he would harm me if he remained here with me. But I don't think so. I told him we will get through this together. I know I will be able to calm him anytime he shifts. I'm not afraid of him. I love him." She burst out in tears.I stared at her, my jaw dropped in shock and surprise. What was she saying? Why would Aiden think he would hurt her?Aiden was the sweetest person I have ever known so it just didn't sit right with me that he would hurt a person. Besides, did she just say she loved Aiden? What made her think she had the right?There were so many questions I wanted to ask but the exact opposite left my lips."I don't understand.""Do you know Aiden is an Epsilon?" She wiped her tears and sniffed. She was looking at me like I should know what she was talking about but I had no idea."A what?""An Epsilon. Don't you know what that means?""A

    ANYWAY He kept staring at him, finding it funny that the man would think he knew his alpha. He had mentioned her name with so much pride and he was sure he had expected him to cower at the sound. But he was not in any way afraid, in fact, he was intrigued. Intrigued by this pack with a female alpha. "Let him go, Kunata!" Alpha Velvet sighed. Kunata finally let him go, but not without squeezing his shirt a little bit tighter and growling into his face. Aiden adjusted his tunic and leaned back to the heap of stones, his golden-brown eyes on the alpha who was slowly approaching him. "I don't think you should come close to him, alpha. I strongly believe he is dangerous." "Stop it, Kunata. I can take care of myself, remember?" They were talking about him as if he wasn't there. Aiden wanted to yell at them that he was right by their side and would appreciate it if they let him be but it seemed like the words had solidified in his throat, making it difficult to get them out.

    MORPHED He could not take his eyes off the bloody corpse lying all around him. The werewolves who had attacked him had now morphed back to their human forms and their bodies lay in waste, blood oozing out from various parts of their lifeless bodies. They were dead and he could not believe he had killed them. When he had threatened to feed on their corpse, he had never meant to kill them. He had only wanted to scare them off and perhaps injure them a little just to teach them some lesson, but the worst had happened. His wolf had done what it knew how to do best and it had gone ahead to rip them all apart. Aiden could still remember trying to stop his wolf from killing them, he had yelled, had even tried to morph back to his human self but all his effort had been futile because his wolf had not listened to him. It felt like they were two different entities with different minds and no matter how much he yelled, it was as though his wolf could not hear his voice. Now that he was thi

    SOMEHOW It was so noisy here and the noise hurt my ears. I didn't know where I was but this was the only pack I had seen ever since I began this journey and my instinct told me Aiden must be here.Now I could not explain why I felt so strongly that he must be in this pack. I couldn't catch his scent so it could not be that but my instinct never lied, and I knew it would not start lying to me now.It had been a day since I left the Blood Moon pack after speaking to Aiden's friends. After gaining no information about Aiden's whereabouts from them, I decided to embark on my search alone.No one seemed to be worried about Aiden, including his mother. I had visited her after her release and had asked if she knew anything about her son but the omega woman had only shrugged and had said with a dreamy smile that she believed her son was okay.I could still remember how confused I had been and I had gone ahead to ask her why she was so confident. The woman had shrugged again but had remained

    LIST "I said you should stop. Are you deaf?" The voice called out again and I tensed, my jaw working badly as I tried to keep calm. Whosoever it was starting to get on my nerves and it was difficult to stay calm anymore.I had never liked to be ordered around; all my life, I had been ordered around like a dog but had to endure it because I had no choice.But now, I wasn't under an alpha, neither did I belong to a pack, I was an outlaw and I would be damned if I allowed some assholes to order me around."I said you should stop!" I felt a grip on my wrist, forcefully pulling me around and before I could react, he had punched me hard in the face. I staggered but soon regained my composure.A snicker escaped my lips as I touched my nose where he had punched me. It hurt like hell and I was sure my nose was broken but I still laughed."Are you laughing?" I heard him say and I raised my head to look at my attacker.He was a tall lanky man with heavy beards and he had a scowl on his face. H

    NOT A WORD I could not say a word, not because I didn't know what to say but because I was still stunned by the kiss. I had not been expecting that. It was just a slight brush but it was still a kiss."I didn't think your type still exist. The book I read said it didn't." Nicole returned to her sitting position."What are you saying?" I sat back too, still maintaining some distance in between. I didn't know what could happen so it was best I stayed away. I didn't even like that she was in the room with me. What if I shifted again? This time around, I didn't think she would survive. There would be no way for her."Nicole, I think you should leave. You can't be here with — ""Epsilon!" She cut me off."What?" My brow furrowed in confusion. "Epsi what?""You are an epsilon!
