Vomiting is the only thing I can do at the moment. I feel my stomach wanting to come out of my throat especially when I breathe in, without meaning to of course, the smell that remains in the toilet.I fall down next to the toilet and raise my arm to cover the toilet and flush it to get rid of the smell. I stay like that for minutes, lying down looking at the toilet pipe thinking about everything and nothing at the same time.Isn't Los Angeles supposed to be my new beginning? Isn't the journey here supposed to be a rite of passage to forget everything and be a new person?Hell, it even had a new name.My old name, Antoniett Bouvier-Corfin, was a tribute to my parents, their love, Antônio Corfin and Violett Bouvier. They are no longer here and neither is their love, I didn't think it was wrong to change, especially because whenever they call me by that name I remember them, what they built and what they destroyed.Annie Mauve-Collins is better, simpler and with little references t
Monday arrived. I get ready and drink my coffee, putting on my makeup before leaving the house.I'm wearing a moss green pencil skirt, a white turtleneck blouse, a gray vest, black heels and a black purse.I take the bus and soon I'm on my floor at 9 am sharp, I head to my office and start my work. I remember how rude I was to Thiago on Friday so I make a mental note to apologize at halftime.I'm going to focus intensively on having a performance level of 150% to 200% so I get down to paperwork sipping the coffee I bought at the cafeteria. When it was 12:20 pm I stopped writing the revision of the third report and went to Thiago's office.I see him slumped in the chair looking at the computer screen and then huffing. I knock on the door and wait for him to invite or reject me.The good thing about glass doors is that you can't pretend not to be there and ignore you without lying afterwards.He nods and I open the door and then he turns the chair around and continues to play in i
Here I am in HR reporting what happened. Rebecca was taken to the emergency and will later be able to deliver her version of what happened.He will certainly dramatize himself by playing the victim with the support of one of the twins, who I don't even know who she is.cows...They also took three people who watched the little show to report as eyewitnesses and I thanked Thiago for volunteering, someone who at least is not against me and will be passive. I don't trust anyone else in this department and building, I'm going to be the lone wolf who goes in and out of the job solely focused on him, I'm going to be married to the job.I'm sitting there waiting for my release when I realize my nose is dripping blood, my head was hurting but not that bad.Is it because of the stress and the slap?I see Rafa coming towards me and I try to wipe the blood and keep my head up so it doesn't flow anymore.- Annie, what are you doing here? Why is she bleeding? Are you the one who just fought
Special:dominic povI was in a forest, I hear screams and footsteps and I see figures around me.Againno - I thinkSuddenly I feel heat and then I see a fire, or rather a hut on fire. The fire lights up the vast forest and I see corpses of people and wolves all around, the picture ishorrible.Then I hear the desperate cry.The child! - I think and look for her.She was crouched down and soaked, I only realize now that it's raining on the child and the hut but I can see it, it's a girl, scared and scared. She is crying desperately and it gives me agony andfrustration.I need comfort -her, protect her, calm her downThen I see the worst part, the wolf. He's heading towards him and meI get more and more irritated by not being able to move.I need to save her! I can't stand the thought of seeing the wolf rip her head off.When the wolf jumps towards him I close my eyes, I wouldn't be able to see that. I thought I was going to smell blood or hear a scream but all I felt was heat
Special:pov DominicI take a quick shower and put on a black 3-piece suit but I end up leaving the jacket off, I go downstairs and see Rafa waiting for me and Day sitting sulking. I nod at her for Rafa to explain.- She wants to walk around the company and I left her there, sitting down. -Says putting an arm around her waist and pointing with the other hand to Day as if she was talking to a puppy.- I'll rip those precious hands off in a single bite if you do that again - She says irritated showing her wolf's eyes which are yellow.Rafa raises his hands in surrender and I urge him on to get us going.In the car Rafa explains the incident with Rebecca to me and I don't think Annie gets into trouble so easily.I enter the building and see several looks, of different types, towards me, I ignore them all. I go to the elevator and see Annie there waiting.- Aren't you late for your shift? -I say with a joking tone asking curious.It was 9:30 already. I don't know why I spoke so sof
I still can't believe I got promoted for feeling sick in the CEO's presence, I don't know if it's really true or if I'm starting to hallucinate.Yesterday I arrived late because I stayed until the building closed, doing my work as much as possible and I printed Rebecca's to analyze at home, it ended up that I slept more than the bed and arrived late. The other day, to save time, I had a fat sandwich for lunch while doing things but my body didn't want to cooperate, or rather my head.I was ashamed in my face and made an appointment with a neurologist for Saturday but until then I have to be strong.Could I book it for a day of the week? I could but it would delay my work even more.Today I woke up at 9 am, I got a heavy sleep for 10 am, even though Montenegro had authorized me to go after lunch, I wanted to get the paperwork done and get to work. I didn't have much to do other than work, before I studied, interned and put sense in Miley's head, but now I only have Monte Negro.Ap
Today it was already Thursday and Miley was going to arrive at the bus station around 8am and had an appointment to pick her up.I hope I'm not too late.I put on a moss green dress with a leather jacket on top, I wear the traditional black sneakers, to get Miley more comfortable, but I leave a heel in the bag to put in the company. I do a loose side braid without tightening too much at the end and the everyday makeup.I make a snack for me and her to eat on the way back, I put it in a small bag and leave it inside the bag. I take a bus to the bus station and listen to music while I check my emails.It took me a little over an hour to finally arrive. It was still 7:25 am and her bus hadn't arrived, so I sit on a bench and continue listening to music and checking emails, personal and company.After minutes I see the bus stopping, I get up and wait for my Smurfette to appear, when I see her I run and hug her.- Hi brat, when time - I say squeezing her with all my strength- I mis
I'm still in my office solving paperwork and I see that it's 5:30 pm. It wouldn't be so bad not to get work done today, I have a Smurf to kill the nostalgia.So I decide to go home to catch up, change my shoes, grab my bag and close the room and say goodbye to Montenegro. Knock on the door and listen for your permission- Hi sir, I'm going now.- I thought you liked to stay late, I need you for something.- I like it, or liked it. I decided not to go late to stay a little with my sister and kill the longing. But yes, what do you need?- I understand. You have marked here that the agency with structuring problems needs an investigative audit for possible fraud, why? You didn't show the arguments.- Oh yes, sorry. It was the agency close to my house, I remember well that it had few security guards and they always gave out candy, the kids who went there actually got a lot. The amount of people who worked there that I remember seems much smaller than what is in the accounts, the str
- I won't stay here.- It's not up to you to decide- I can bet that they are not going to decide where, at least my sister and I, are going to stay.- Do you only have one?- I only have one for which I am responsible. I didn't spend nearly 20 years of my life with the shitty Corfin's and then, in a nice way, be led by Montenegro's or Bouvier's. The Mothers always guided us, but in the end, it was us who decided things. We always have to make life choices and make decisions for ourselves and for them.- You left me out - Terceira complainsTenth and Sixth were discussing what to do from now on- Let the older ones talk, Third. How about you Alison? What do you think we have to stay here with these presumptuous men - Friday encourages my participation.- Don't say. It's all whispers and annoying comments. And what does that opinion matter? It is insignificant if it does not involve discord. - She crossed her arms, looking away to peek at somet
"Dominic Montenegro, the Supreme alpha, led an attack this weekend against an organization of vampires that had enslaved his people for years in the shadows. See the consequences of the act""Vampire attacks plague the American people. To date, 117 victims have been confirmed"“Relatives of Marcos Smith, the first victim of the vampire infestation in the city after the attack by the Supreme Wolf, are prevented from burying their loved one by the national threat. 'That's what happens when they try to share our world with wild animals, they kill. thinks that a piece of paper serves as a collar for these dogs. They have their own laws' says Agatha, Marcos' mother, blaming the wolves for spreading vampires in the cities""Dogs have a habit of digging holes, it's not uncommon for one of them to destroy an anthill and then turn away leaving a population at the mercy of life. It's not important to them because it doesn't interfere with their lives, it's insignificant
Cry. Fear. Insecurity. Horror. Pain and trauma. A perfect painting of a portrait of chaos.- ALPHA! Are you well? What happened?- Sir. The place was a nest of leeches, many fled, blending into the shadows. There are packs after any fugitive.- Werewolves who knelt are contained in the west zone, most are teenagers and some need psychological support. How to proceed? Where is the Supreme?- The intelligence personnel have already entered the place to capture information.As we left, Patrick who was helping me to walk was confronted by his people. He passed by everyone asking them to wait and wait for the Supreme to pronounce. Pulling us apart, he helped me to sit on a rock and leaned against it with my heavy sigh.I couldn't see everything, but I was facing the main gate, which was rolled up. I saw Friday come out holding Monday and Third a little while later holding Thursday. Both huddled close to the door, leaning o
- Attentive - Patrick sounds low with firmness - There's a group nearby, go find out. -He tells the boys to nod.We were a while behind the last three tenths, as far as I remember the first two still didn't have wolves.- You can put me on the ground, you don't have to carry me. And it's shameful.- You stressed your muscles and bones too much, a normal wolf would take at least three days to be able to use the least amount of strength. That's enough work for you...-she reduced her speech, paying attention to her sense of smell-The Supreme is close, he may have found something.- Mr. Corfin's office? Why are we heading in the same direction.We heard the sounds of battle and Patrick bent down putting me against the wall, preparing in case they reached us.- Don't even dare use a muscle, you need to rest. And why didn't he say we were heading towards his office? - Sounded a little irritated.- It wouldn't matter, w
- She is completely defeated. Hey - A kick - The dog.Why waste energy on worms who already think they're absolutely sure? It is unnecessary hopelessness.- I don't want to carry her. She earned that blessing. Enjoy. - I heard and was rudely suspended.I didn't know where they were taking me, I didn't know how long I had been lying motionless on the ground thinking about everything that was nothing and how long it took to hear an explosion.- Our?- It matters? It's from outside. We react or they attack us. Get her in there soon and let's go to our posts.I slumped to the ground like an old punching bag, feeling every bone in my body ache.How funny. - I think cheering myself up, before turning my body onto my stomach and seeing myself in a cursed place.The gym.The courtyard, which is originally blue, was unrecognizable, it smelled and had a brownish tint. It had been covered in dried blood for years.Blood from several sisters killed, mostly by me.I knelt down, shakily raising m
I was running aimlessly nowhere, I didn't even care to dodge too many branches. I ran until all my energy ran out, tripping over a root and rolling down the woods. I lay still there, just feeling the grass caress me and noticing small rodents in the trees.The sun was already leaving me, leaving the darkness of night to discolor the sky.My body was sore in several places but I didn't care, I really wanted to rest, close my eyes and stay in my subconscious. The delicate smell that I remembered well did not let my body relax, there was a bush of azaleas next door. I raised my head noticing that I had already been here, in the field of flowers.I got firmly on my feet and proceeded with a walk. I was already weak, unmotivated and sore to run.My body followed the path on automatic, a robotic way that knew the entire route well.My body fell heavily when it came across the small cabin I shared with the mother figure I tried hard to forget to overcome.Betina.A painful sigh came out of m
Pov PatrickThe plan was, strategically speaking, simple. Alison would show up, try to exchange her life for her mother's, convincing them to leave her there, if she thought it necessary, she would try to fight on her own so as not to arouse suspicion and, managing to leave her mother behind or not, when they transported Alison to their base my wolves would go back for a rescue and search.They would probably guide her to some illegal car in the vicinity that would give us hints about who they are, in addition to showing us the direction to where this Institute is located.But things weren't going as imagined, I thought that some renegade werewolf and or omega confronted her, even a vampire, would never imagine that they would force her to fight her own mother. I was watching it all away with the aid of a cell phone and my senses. When I saw her give up the fight, surrendering to her mother, I didn't know what to do. I couldn't let her die, I couldn't reveal myself or give a signal
"- Oh Goddess. Seventh!? Are you okay?! My daughter, what were you looking for climbing these rocks? Oh my life, come here, I'll take care of you. - I cry in pain - You are my precious stone, I always I will take care of you"I got up wiping the blood that was dripping from my mouth with my hand and facing the scary vampire that was in front of me, my mother."- Mother Maya, what are you doing here? Where is my Mama?- I'm sorry, she won't be able to come sleep with you in the next few days.- No? - She said sadly- Don't make that little face - She coughs - I promise to make her smile - I agreed sadly, I wanted to be with my mother but it wouldn't make Mother Maya sad for really wanting someone else in her place - Hey doll, know that even far away your mother loves you much, much more than I even do. But we have to please the minions, you understand, right?- Yes I understand"We were both standing eyeing each other warily, we were in the middle of a circle of footmen enjoying
Pinned to a stake in the ground she was, her head down and her hair blowing in the cold breeze that proved to be heartless. Traces of her in those rags were a punishment to my soul. She was dried up, like my soul by the pain and anguish that corrupted me.She wasn't alone, many surrounded her, but she was alone. No heat, no security, no blood and no one. At the mercy of loneliness and pain.Wolves howled, not from their pain, but from dominance.- How long has this been on the air? - Said, after getting tired of watching a footage from some camera.- They put her there after sunset. Did they contact you? - Daniel asks"I've got until sundown to turn myself in or I'll probably watch it burn." What do you have in mind?It was past one in the morning when I arrived at Daniel's hideout, it was nothing less than a mini cave under the ground made by the crow that turned out to be a beautiful woman. She was sitting majestically on top of a stone bench.- From these cameras we can have an ide
