The She Wolf's Heart Lost
Anya and Caleb had decided that watching a movies was a good way to pass time while they waited for the news of Maya's waking up. They had their eyes glued to Anya's television screen to a horror movie —Caleb’s choice — when Anya's phone vibrated. Caleb's eye glanced at the wall clock and he noted that it was past 8 pm at night. Anya tore her eyes from the screen and reached for her phone on the centre table. Her grip tightened around her phone, the screen lighting up with an incoming text. The air seemed to still for a moment before their heart began to race, the message pulling them into a mix of emotions. It was from the hospital."Maya's awake. You need to be here now."A rush of relief intermingled with urgency surged through them. They didn't waste a second to dash out of Anya's apartment to the road, immediately raising their hand to hail a taxi, trembling slightly as they gave the driver the address. The city lights painted streaks of colour across the darkened sky as
The She Wolf's Heart Shadows of Memory
Anya and Caleb sat very close to Maya's bed as she slept, her bosom rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Her face was serene as she slept as if there was nothing to be worried about. Both had their eyes on her, worry etched into their faces. After sitting in minutes of total solitude, Anya broke her gaze on her lover, her former lover, closing her eyes slowly. She didn't know if this was a good time to start afresh or to just ignore everything and allow time to do its thing. It was as if Caleb read her mind when he broke the silence to chip in his two cents, his eyes still on a napping Maya. "You can start afresh with her, given that her mind isn't awake yet. You can even control or keep her in love with you, and wipe away the other parts of her memory that knows." He finished his gaze on the sleeping beauty unwavering. Anya opened her eyes slowly, dragging it to Caleb's face. Anya took her time to read his facial expression which looked serious and stern, until she saw a gentle
The She Wolf's Heart Vincent's Web
"Isn't it the betrayer of the brethren? I wonder, who else could it possibly be?"The voice brought Caleb to a stop. He began to search for where it had come from. He knew the voice, that rich timber-like bass voice, that should send fear down your spine as a werewolf, but all it has ever done is annoy Caleb. He searched frantically in all directions to locate the source of the voice. Suddenly, a subtle movement on a fence caught his attention, and there he was.""Vincent." He simply said looking at him with a curtailed rage. "First-name basis now, Caleb? Why are you out here alone? Where's your mistress, your chosen one?" Huh?Caleb glanced at him, a smirk playing on his lips. 'Vincent,' he repeated, closing the distance between them. "So you douse yourself with dust so that no one can smell you moving about or sneaking out from people's houses, especially Anya's." He added swiftly. Closing the gap, Vincent locked his gaze on Caleb with a glare. "I doused myself because I knew I
The She Wolf's Heart Webs
Vincent entered the principal's office with an air of purpose, his gaze locked on Mr. Surajo. The principal regarded him with a professional demeanour, waiting for Vincent to state his reason for being there. Vincent intended to present himself as a concerned relation, a concerned parent perhaps, rather than a confrontational figure."Good morning, Mr. Surajo," Vincent greeted, his tone polite and composed."Good morning," the principal replied with a nod. "How can I help you?"Vincent took a moment, his gaze shifting to the desk momentarily before returning to the principal's eyes. He needed to make this appear genuine. "I'm here on behalf of my nephew, who happens to be in the same class as one of your teachers, Ms. Watson."Mr. Surajo's eyebrows raised slightly, his interest piqued. "I see. Is there something you'd like to discuss about Ms. Watson's class?"Vincent paused for a dramatic effect, letting the implication of his words linger in the air. "Yes, there is indeed something
The She Wolf's Heart Web from the past 1
Maya slowly opened her eyes and blinked as her surroundings came into focus. The sterile hospital room was bathed in soft sunlight, and her gaze met Caleb's worried eyes. A small smile crept onto her face as she greeted him, "Hey.""Hey there," Caleb replied, relief evident in his voice. "How are you feeling?"Maya's smile grew as she realized how much he cared. "I'm better now. Thank you for staying with me."They exchanged pleasantries and small talk for a moment, but then Maya's curiosity got the better of her. "You mentioned something earlier... Is Vincent turning us in? Who's Vincent?"Caleb squinted his eyebrows in false scrutiny. "I thought you were sleeping, how did you hear that? " "Your voice woke me up." Maya smiled, then became serious. "So who is he?" She pushed. Caleb hesitated, exchanging a glance with Anya. "Vincent is... someone who's been causing trouble. And, well, it seems he might have done something that affects us."Maya raised an eyebrow, sensing their discom
The She Wolf's Heart Berdie May
Vincent’s eyelids twitched rapidly and opened to brightness, a lot of it. His brain tried to make sense of the brightness, silence, and his surroundings. He tried to adjust himself to a sitting position to get a better view of where he was and hell let loose. Thousands of pain shot through his entire body system like pangs from hell, forcing him to remain in the lying position. The steady rhythmic beeping of the monitor told him where he was. That was when the origin of the pain came back to him. He sighed. He remembered Anya coming to his house probably to confront him for what happened in school. He remembered that she and Caleb brought him to the hospital, and a different kind of pain took over his system. It came in the form of shame for all he had ever done to retain and assert his position as the alpha of a pack, a position that Anya barely care about. Realisation dawned on him like daybreak. Ignoring the initial pain that had forced him to remain in a lying position, slowly,
The She Wolf's Heart The Silverclaw's Legacy
"What would you have done if I had told you who I was? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Unlike regular vampires, I don't need your permission to enter into your house. Vincent sat on the bed visibly shaking, hoping that with how busy the corridor sounded, someone would walk into his ward and save him. "Please don't hurt me again," he pleaded. "No, I am not here to hurt you, I want to have a chitchat with you, young master Silverclaw. You are all grown" She smiled, her fangs coming into view. That was Berdie May's voice in Vincent's ward. Berdie May had made sure that Anya and Caleb got as far away as possible from the hospital before she stopped following them and came out in her true form to talk to Vincent. Vincent was just rounding up the food Anya brought him, when suddenly the scent of something strange, yet familiar filled the air, waffling into his nostrils. As he made to stand up and search for it, she appeared. A lady with piercing blue eyes, long dreadlocks, her figure
The She Wolf's Heart Revelation's Veil
Revelation's VeilThe doctor's presence sent a ripple of unease through Vincent. His mind raced with questions about what he might know, about what truly happened to Maya. "Mr. Silverclaw," the doctor began, his voice calm but laced with curiosity, "I couldn't help but notice your reaction when I entered. You seemed... startled." Vincent cleared his throat, attempting to regain his composure. "Oh, it's just... I've been having these strange dreams lately, you know? Nightmares, really. So sometimes, reality blurs with my imagination." The doctor looked at him, perfectly keeping a straight face. He returned his gaze to the tablet he came in with. Vincent on the other hand was searching for a hint. He had his story properly cooked in his head and was waiting for the right moment to drop it hot. It didn't seem as if the doctor remembered him, but he was ready with his lie. After going through some information for some minutes, he faced his patient. "When the ambulance brought you, you
