The She Wolf's Heart Crossroads of The Heart (Maya's POV)
The day began like any other, with a bright sky that beckoned me to embark on a solitary road trip. I sat in my hospital room, eagerly counting down the hours until my discharge. It felt like a chance at a fresh start, away from my home, my job, and the outside world.As I anticipated this new beginning, I couldn't help but think about the people who had cared for me during my illness, an illness caused by one of their own. Now that my memory had fully returned, facing them was a daunting prospect. They had shown me kindness and comfort when I needed it most, making it hard to imagine moving forward without them.The logical choice would have been to return to my mother's house in Suncity. But that place, once a haven, no longer felt like home. Being gay had made me an outcast among my own people, constantly reminded that my love was condemned by the faith I grew up with.Sitting in that hospital room, memories of my encounter with Vincent flooded my mind. He had wanted me dead, a paw
The She Wolf's Heart Anya's POV
Arms raised in surrender, I stared at the girl I had been in a relationship with for the past year. She looked scared. She was afraid of me. Afraid of me? Have I ever given her a reason to be? I was some steps away from the entrance of the ward but decided to come close and explain some things to her. One step forward, my arms still raised, I began. " I was born this way. I didn't choose to become a werewolf. My parents were wolves and the good ones at that. They didn't choose it either. Some persons are born vampires. They would have to live with it all the days of their lives. They would remain in the shadows and only come out when the sun is out." At the mention of vampires, I watched her visibly shake, but I still took another step forward. My voice was steady, my arms still in the air, I continued. " I have never imagined hunting humans for meals or fun. I have never liked the idea of some wolves and vampires doing that. I have only gotten into a fight with a human as a way
The She Wolf's Heart Anya's POV
Maya stood at my doorstep, her presence a mystery. I assumed she had come to apologize for her outburst at the hospital. We found ourselves gazing at each other in silence for what felt like an eternity."Hi," her voice finally broke the silence, barely above a whisper."Hi," I replied."May I come in?" she asked."Oh, sorry." I realized I was blocking her way. I stepped aside, and she entered. After closing the door, I followed suit. She wore a pencil blue jean, a black t-shirt, and black sandals. Her subtle scent filled the room as we awkwardly avoided eye contact."So, uh," she began, her gaze drifting to everything but me. "I'm here to apologize for what happened at the hospital. I was a total jerk. I didn't mean to embarrass you.""Okay," I said, the only words that came to mind. I watched her, a heavy silence enveloping us.Finally, she met my gaze and whispered, "Okay." The silence lingered as we waited for more. I knew she was sorry, but I wondered if she could accept me for
The She Wolf's Heart Vincent's POV
I got discharged from the hospital yesterday and have been in my house since then. My pain has subsided, thanks to my werewolf speed healing power. I rarely have visitors and so, when my doorbell went off at 8:15 pm, I didn't know what to think. I remained seated where I was and waited for the bell to go off again. After few seconds the bell went off again and I began to walk to my door. On the way, a scent wafted into my nose. Anya's coconut oil. Why was Anya at my place at 8:15 on a Saturday night? I ignored the question and walked to the door. Opening it, before me stood Anya and Caleb. Pissed doesn't come close to capturing the look I saw in their eyes. I ignored it, stepped aside for them to come in. Both walked past me without saying a word. Closing the door, I joined them on my couch in my little sitting room. Nobody said anything until I was seated. Uneasy silence descended upon us like heavy blanket. Immediately I tried to break the uneasy silence, Anya beat me to it.
The She Wolf's Heart Maya's POV
Monday arrived too quickly, bringing with it its usual challenges. As I entered the school premises, it felt as if I were a stranger. Although I had only been away from the school for two weeks, everything seemed foreign. I walked through the halls, savouring the quietness that surrounded me. My fingers traced the smooth, blue gloss walls as I thought, "Let me enjoy this peace before the day's madness begins."Approaching Anya's classroom entrance, the scent of coconut oil drifted into my nostrils. A smile broke out on my face almost immediately. Anya had become adept at being the first teaching staff member to arrive daily.I peered into her classroom, and she was, with her back to the door, engrossed in a phone call. Standing confidently, her blonde hair hung just below her shoulders, and her black pants hugged her figure perfectly. A cream-coloured blouse draped down her shoulder, making her look stunning in every way.As I got closer, ready to surprise her, she suddenly turned tow
The She Wolf's Heart Caleb's POV
Anya adjusted herself and walked past me offering an assuring smile. She walked to Maya, smiled and continued to head out. It was unlike her. Maya, on the other hand, turned and walked out of the rest room as if in pursuit of Anya. Coming out of the restroom, I walked into a scene of her Maya having a mini argument almost outside the restroom, a cupboard shielding them from the students. When I got close, they separated and Maya excited the class. I walked to Anya, and she looked away. "Trouble in paradise?" I asked as worry began etching into my face. "Not really, I am just disappointed." "Just that?""And pissed!""Now, you are taking. About?""So, my aunty knew the cure this Miss Cold and kept it to herself all these while? How could she?""We now have a name for it?""Extempore thingy""Nice. So, why are you mad at your girl?""Dude, how could she side Birdie May?" Do you…""Dude pause for a sec. She is right. What if she just discovered it? Also, have you asked yourself the
The She Wolf's Heart We're in This Together (Anya)
Myself and Caleb walked out of the class and headed to the school gate. On our way, there was a battle within me to stop and peep into the principal's office, but self-control won. Immediately, we walked past the corridor and came out into the open courtyard that functions as a makeshift basketball court and the route to the school gate, the scorching sun greeted my skin. I caught myself before a wince could escape my lips. Caleb was behind me and must have seen me jerk as soon as I stepped into the sun. "What's wrong?" He asked softly as he covered the gap between us. "I never expected the sun to be this hot," I said, still moving towards the gate. "Yeah, about that, I think it's climate change ish." "Yeah. We have succeeded in destroying the ozone layer with our developmental activity. Now, we are paying dearly for it.""I wonder when this will end," Caleb mumbled under his breath. We said goodbye to the security guy as we approached the school gate with our backpacks. Outs
The She Wolf's Heart Birdie May
Indeed love conquers it all. Look at how eager Anya's lover was to break the link between her and Malcolm. When did lamb become that bold? Perhaps, I have been away for too long. Well, I am here and will do the little I can. What bothers me most is the Silverclaws and their swon hatred for the Watson family. It was his father, now it is his son's turn to hunt Anya. I wish I had the power to stop what it is coming. Poor Anya. I wish I could tell her who really told her principal about her sexuality. Perhaps, I could. Even though it might ignite war, I will do it to keep Rodriguez away from his plan for now. Anya isn't strong enough yet to fight. Allowing Rodirguez to bring his dark magic towards her is giving him the upper and to enslave a primus. And if that happens, it is taking the world back to the days of black magic and old religion. No one should ever have to witness that. Also, Anya needs training. Perhaps, it's time to uncloak myself and get her busy, especially now that

The She Wolf's Heart Anya
We walk into Maya's class and there she is seated, staring into an empty space. I try to read her mind, but can't. It feels like an endless void, the kind I felt the day I connected to Mr Rodriguez. Just dark! Perhaps, it was the distance between us, so I close the gap as fast as I can. Getting close to her, I squat down by her feet to directly look into her eyes, but her gaze is far away. It feels as if she is in a different world altogether. She doesn't say a word to either myself or Caleb, let alone acknowledge our presence. Out of desperation to make contact with her, I glance at the table and I take one of her hands into mine. Her usually soft and warm palm feels cold. Outside, the sun seems to be in a competition with humans to ascertain who is hotter. “So, why is her palm this cold?” I whisper to myself. If a pin had dropped on the floor, it will be like a bomb, that's how quiet the classroom is and it's unnerving. “What's up with her? Can you feel her?” Caleb’s voice rise
The She Wolf's Heart Caleb
Everything is as it should be. I know this because I am standing in front of Maya's class after the bell for school over rang. Her students, just like mine, have joined the ocean of bodies swimming towards the gate, others walking to the car park to join their parents and older siblings. The rest headed towards where the school bus is parked. Maya isn't in her class. She may have gone out to get something. All I have to do is wait. And so I wait. I sit down on one of the chairs in front of her table and automatically bring out my phone to while away the boredom threatening to descend on me in the absence of anyone to talk to and anything to do. I open my chat to text the good doctor as Anya likes to refer to him. Gius, that's his name, isn't a call person, texting is his style. He would spend an entire twenty-four hours thumbing the screen of his phone if he had a cleared-out schedule. Myself on the other hand never minded. As luck may have it, he is online, and so, we text. He wan

It is as if my legs couldn't carry me any longer. It felt as if I had been standing up for over an hour. My students were working on a science project that they had chosen in our previous lesson. I had come to the board to illustrate something when I turned towards the door because noise was coming from the corridor. Anya stood by my door staring at me. She was elegant. She never slouch, but now she was. Why is she looking at me that way? Is she scared of me or scared of what she's about to say? "Hey," I voiced out. "Hey yourself." She responded with a weak smile and walked in. I returned her smile with a nervous one. Watching her take her steps one after the other made me realise that she was being cautious. It didn't take me up to a minute to site the backpack she had on. It was puffy and looked heavy. About two steps away from me, she whispered, "I'm going home." I connected the dots and my gaze softened to sympathy. I wanted to take her hands into mine and pull her into a hu

"Why did you uncloak here with the kids…"The question died on my lips as I glanced around. Every pupil had their eyes fixed not on anything in particular. Their hands, body, stopped, as in frozen."What's wrong with the…"My questions died on my lips again as I looked at her. Birdie May happens to have one of the strangest powers. Did she just freeze my class? Did she pause time? "Yes, I paused time," her voice vibrated in my head. Yeah I forgot about that power, too. "I paused time within this environment. You have that power too. Any pure blood can do that with some training. No lamb should be able to break the barrier unless they have both legs into old religion." She explained casually like one explaining why cereal is for breakfast. I stared at her in a mixture of wonder and astonishment. Silence fell upon us as she fixed her gaze on me. As we gazed at each other, I found out that I couldn't read her mind, she was blocking me out on purpose. "I will be leaving town today.
The She Wolf's Heart Maya
Before anyone tells me that my days any where are numbered, I usually feel it. That was the same feeling I had as I walked into Mr. Surajo office and a scent waffed into my nose. I walked passed his secretary tapping into the strong girl part of me as I proceeded into his office and stood tall against Vincent who sat on plastic seat opposite the principal. I fought endlessly to subdue the urge to glance at him but I caved in. The disdain in his eyes almost floored me, but I had to keep my shield as high as possible as I focused my attention on the principal. "You sent for me?" I asked him as I turned fully towards him. "I did." His gaze was on everything and everyone else apart from me. Was he worried about firing me or about what he will find out if he questions me?The silence that descended on us was like a heavy blanket trying to squeeze life out of me, but I had to remain calm and clearheaded for the shots to come. I fixed my eyes on him while my mind travelled back and fo

Today isn't my day. I have no desire to be where I am currently even though it is a Monday. Everything around me is irritating me. Merely hearing voices around riles me up. As if it isn't bad enough, suddenly my co-teachers want to say hi which I am not in the mood for. On top of all these, I have this unease, fear of something bad happening today. What’s up with you, dude? You don’t look happy today, why? Anya’s voice pulled me out of my head.I threw a glance her way and saw concern on her face.“Nothing, just not in the mood for being an adult today,” I responded, transferring my gaze to the window and my eyes fell on students playing. I sighed and held back the comment of Maya coming in to ask me the same question. Dear Universe, let today be one of those Mondays that she is too busy to go for a break, I wish. I had barely sighed when my eyes fell on the tall glass of wine called Maya as she made her way to Anya’s class. it is not all prayers that the universe answers after a

My aunt's voice cut through our little make-out. I practically held myself from openly whining about it. We withdrew our lips but our hands were still making contact with our body parts. None of us had disconnected our gaze. I still looked at Maya like she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She was, in a way. "Both of you need to get a room, Aunty B's voice came up again. "Meanwhile, Anya did you not bring spare clothes today?""I…" Maya beat me to a response. "You could help us arrange those quickly since you are good at slipping in between worlds and places." Maya quipped without disconnecting her gaze from me. "I should totally do that." Aunty B left her gaze on Maya with a smirk on her face. "You should," Maya's gaze finally left mine and fell on Aunty B. She disconnected her hand as well and stood in front of me. I was so scared of doing this after what had happened roughly an hour ago, but had to. I quickly peered at Aunt B's face. It wasn't filled with laissez

"Why would you think like that? Why would you just call off our relationship? Did it ever occur to you that I should have a say in this? She didn't say anything. She stared at me, her pupils bristling with unsheded tears. Just as the first began to drop down her cheek, she turned away. Was she feeling ashamed of herself? Why? "You won't understand, Maya. I think you should stay away from me. I am dangerous. I am a beast. I could kill you." She yelled and began to walk away. I began walking towards her and her step quickened. I was falling behind within seconds which means she was using her speed. This wasn't what I wanted her to feel. This wasn't what I expected from her after the incident. Thoughts of what she might to do herself clouded my mind forcing me to say the exact thing I hate saying to people. "Are you ashamed of me? Is that it?"I watched her stop abruptly. She covered the distance between us in seconds and stared me in the eyes. She had this stunned look in her fac
The She Wolf's Heart Caleb
The days I dreaded most came too fast. Birdie May has been out of her cloak for more than 24 hours. Anya has been busy. Her training began the next day after the evening her aunt crashed our little party. The training takes place at the other side of the forest where my pack hang out. Birdie May had cleared out trees using her power to create an open space for the training. Her first training with Anya instilled fear into me. Anya on the other hand is changing very fast. She is becoming stronger. She's getting faster in her superspeed. Her windseeking skill is developing very fast. It doesn't take her up to 10 seconds to shoot up into the sky. Maya has been here, observing, learning unlearning, discovering things she has always referred to as fairytales. I am somewhat marvelled at the courage which she summons to be here witnessing and experiencing everything. She has changed from the fearful and anxious girl to this strong backbone, giving Anya all the support she needs. What
