2021-12-12 01:40:53We sat in an awkward silence finding the correct words to initiate the conversation.
Her green eyes held the same calculative look which it has when we first met.
The silence was overwhelming and it was killing me to find the answers to all the questions floating in my head.
"Who is Jack?"
"He is the beta's son like I told you before," she immediately answered.
"How do you both know each other?"
"We are from the same pack," she replied.
It was far away from the answers which I needed. I had to ask her about last night.
"Who were you talking to last night" I finally asked.
Her eyes widened slightly in surprise. She was not expecting me to hear any of the conversations she had. She sat up a little straight and cleared her throat.
"What are you talking about?"
I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes, "You know what I am talking about, and don't say I was dreaming or any other absurd

The dark side of the moon The half truth
"Damien's mother," I whispered letting the truth soak slowly in my brain.It was the reason for his hatred towards me. But how was it right to punish me for something I had no idea about.No wonder he wanted Amber. Just thinking about them created a sour feeling in my chest. The memory was still too fresh to be forgotten."I am sorry. You really had no idea about this." Emily's voice reminded me of her presence in the room.She was sitting quietly observing me, probably thinking what would be the right words to tell someone who just found out the secret linking her soulmate and her hometown."I feel so stupid. How did I not see it," the words were not meant for her, they were meant for me to realize how I sat in my room with eyes closed from reality.The dinners, all the get-togethers for old families of the town they were not just dinners where everyone chatted about their everyday lives."It's not your fault,

One month.One month of being away from Damien.One month of not thinking from the perspectives of hunters and werewolves.One month of living my life on my terms."I am leaving, Em. I'll see you in the evening," I yelled before leaving the house. I knew Emily heard my voice but was too sleepy to respond.I lifted my square glasses slightly so that they could fit more nicely. Humming a song under my breath I started walking down the stairs, a habit I got from Emily."Good morning, Sandra," I waved at the neighbor who was giving water to the plants. She waved back with a good morning.It did not matter if they were humans or werewolf they were all the same for me."Hey, Muffin," I scratched the head of the playful labrador who started wiggling his tail the minute he saw me.It was a beautiful day, with the sun shining brightly over my head. I continued walking giving a smile or a wave to everyone while wishing good mornin

"Damien," I said in a low voice as the hurricane of emotions started spinning inside me.For a while, I was sure it was just a dream. The man sitting on the couch with his chin resting on his fist while he looked at me silently with a blank face.He stood up slowly taking his time. He was wearing a well-fitted black suit just like always.The time seemed to slow down as I stared into his icy eyes. With every step, he took in my direction I started feeling like prey in front of a predator."Nora," came his dark husky voice sending goosebumps on my skin.I tried to read the emotions hiding perfectly in his eyes. But I could not focus on anything under his intense gaze.I closed my eyes as he reached in front of me waiting for the worst. Damien's anger must be reaching the sky.But what I was not expecting happened. I felt his strong arms around me, I took a slow breath inhaling the scent of his spicy

The walk towards the library felt much longer than I remembered it to be. Every step that was leading me to Damien was also causing my heart to beat faster.After Ruhee announced Damien wanted to see me in the library, she removed the wig that I did not remember I was wearing, unlike the glasses that I removed in the car.There was no exchange of words between us and even though it felt weird I decided to stay quiet.Inhaling a deep breath to fill my lungs with as much air as I could I raised my fist to knock on the heavy wooden door. But stopped feeling unsure."You can come in," came his deep voice from inside.I opened the door with shaky hands.Damien was sitting on his chair with both his elbows resting on the desk and hands clasped together. He was studying my every move with his eyes.I closed the door softly."What do you want to talk about?" I asked, keeping my voice as strong and confident as I could.

Another wave of silence swept away the words from the room leaving nothing but the sound of my shallow breaths. "What will I get?" He walked towards the bookshelf taking his time, "What you wanted the most....your freedom." I licked my dry bottom lip. Was it one of his games? But more importantly, was I willing to play? "What are you talking about?" He removed a book from the second row and opened it, "You will get your old life back. You can achieve everything you wanted to and this will just be like a dream for you " I bit the inside of my cheeks nervously. Did I trust him enough to fall for those words? But what other choices did I have? "How should I know this is not one of your lies?" He chuckled turning a page, "You don't but this is your best chance of getting out of here." He was right. I had no idea of knowing if he was lying or not. But was I willing

I inhaled a sharp breath as soon as I stepped in the deafening silence of the room where Ruhee was putting clothes in a big bag. She paused for a few seconds after realizing I was there as well but didn't bother initiating a conversation.We had to leave earlier than expected.I pressed my lips in a thin line and walked towards the closet to help her. Running my fingers over the soft material of the clothes lined up nicely, I removed a black crop top and folded it once.Ruhee noticed the action with a sideway glance but said nothing. I put it along with other clothes.Next, I went to pack a pair of shorts, this time her lip twitched and the motion of her hands folding the clothes became more aggressive.I was definitely doing something wrong but did not care and picked blue sweatpants."I will do this," she took the sweatpants in a swift motion and went back to her work."Are you never going to talk to me

I was standing in front of the room where I stayed the last time I was in the palace.Just when I was about to open the door, the same guard from earlier came towards me."The prince has sent me to give you a message, you are staying in the room next to the one where you previously stayed."I gave him a skeptical look wondering if he was telling the truth or not. I tried my best to find the lie on his blank face but failed miserably.Reluctantly I turned to walk away hoping I was not walking into a trap. I put my hand on the knob to open the door but paused to look at the guard in the hallway, only to find it empty.That's not weird at all.I opened the door but my feet turned to ice when I stepped into the completely different part of the palace.The icy walls were grey in the room, too grey that they looked black but had the same gold borders with delicate patterns. It was bigger than the room I stayed in, with a l

Two days went by with every minute passing like an hour.I had never felt so alone in my life. I had to stay in Damien's room and if I wanted to go anywhere two guards would follow me like a shadow.Damien was busy with some work but tried his best to give me as much time as possible. We had breakfast in the room but he would come late at night.Ruhee on the other hand was still ignoring my existence, no matter how much I tried to talk to her. She was just shutting me out.But not today, it was the day I hoped never would come. We were having breakfast with everyone, the mere thought was enough to kill my appetite."Are you ready?" Damien asked opening the door."Yeah."I put the black woolen shrug lazily over the olive dress I was wearing, it was 7:24 am and we had to reach for breakfast at 7:30 am. I suppressed a yawn even though I could barely keep my eyes open.By the time we reached near the t

The dark side of the moon I want her
Two weeks had passed. The icy walls of the palace had witnessed the gruesome sight of the murder of the King, Queen of the werewolf kingdom by Lilith and so many other wolves who were murdered by her to achieve the goal. I could not say everything went back to normal because the truth was far away from it. Damien was with me but he was not the same after losing his family. He did not only lose his father that day but his mother too, even though Lilith did not feel the same Damien always loved her like his real mother. Lilith was still in the cells, she would not say anything and would barely eat the food, there was regret in her eyes but it was not for her actions it was for her son. Luca was a whole other story, he was alive only because the dagger did not pierce through his heart but he was unconscious and not healing like he normally should. He survived thanks to the Alpha of the crescent pack, he had some contact with the witches who were ki
The dark side of the moon I can't lose you
"Someone help, GUARDS," I screamed from the top of my lungs but the defeating silence was the only response I got as I ran towards the doorway of the left wing.I stopped running when I caught the horrific sight of guards on the floor with blood pooling around their bodies. There were no other guards in the entire hallway. I had a feeling there were no guards in the palace, if there were, they should have been here by now.I had to reach the main door and warn the guards outside but the time was not on my side, Lilith must be almost healed by now."There she is," a large man screamed running in my way with a wicked smile on his lips.I started running but it was of no use as the man shifted into a sandy wolf midway. I was thrown to the ground, there was nothing I could use to defend myself. Just when I thought my end was near a vicious growl fell into my ears and the sandy wolf turned towards the sound but it was too late for him. A large blac
The dark side of the moon A tragic end of the royal family
Pairs of eyes kept looking at me as I passed the familiar hallway but none of them uttered a word. It was evident in their eyes they wanted to say something but the fear was making them stay silent.I bit the inside of my cheeks and continued walking, barely keeping my excitement to see Damien. I did not know how he would react but it was time for him to know everything....everything about the person who killed his mother. The person who was living with them and waiting to stab them.Two guards were standing at the entrance of the left-wing but other than them no one was there. Damien did not like people entering his personal space and the guards earlier were for my protection when he was not in the palace.I opened the door of the bedroom where the scent of Damien welcomed me. I smiled looking at the flames burning in the fireplace and the chair in front of it.Damien was in the room."Damien, I know this must be a surprise
The dark side of the moon Trouble was around
I loosened my hold on the dagger when the man fell on the ground and Amber was standing behind him with a smirk.She took a large step and extended her hand in my direction. I looked at her hand skeptically and dragged my eyes towards the man on the ground. There were no signs of injury on his body but he was not moving at all."Is he..""Yep," she did not let me complete the sentence."But how..""Burrowed a little gift from your sister," she answered taking her hand away when I stood up without her help."What did you do? If anything happened to my sister..." I pointed my index finger at her.She rolled her eyes, "Relax, I have no interest in getting my nails dirty with the hunter's blood.""What are you doing here?" I kept an eye on my surroundings not trusting Amber. If she was here, it meant trouble was around as well."In case you failed to notice, I saved your life," she ended the sen
The dark side of the moon Who were they?
"So, you have lived there for months," Faith turned her index finger towards Ruhee, "and you, for almost your whole life." "Well, not exactly my whole life but go on." "And yet, none of you know any damn numbers to contact them?" Faith squinted her eyes as she looked between both of us. We were sitting in the airport and Faith was keeping her word to accompany us to the palace. "I didn't have a phone and I have a goldfish memory when it comes to numbers," I defended myself. "I never had anyone to call," Ruhee lifted her right shoulder casually, "I was living in the palace or the mansion, and whenever they needed me to do some work I was there." Ruhee said every word without any emotion. Faith glanced at me and I shook my head slightly, giving her a hint to not continue the conversation. I did not want Faith to ask something that might hurt Ruhee's feelings. "What are you doing?" I tried to peek into Faith's ph

"You little...""Father, enough...I am ashamed to call you my father. How could you murder a child?" mom yelled furiously. It was the first time I saw her raising her voice at anyone."No. It is all her doing," he pointed his finger at me, "she is on their side, she is working for the filthy creatures. It is their plan. they want to destroy us."Grandpa was trying to make everyone believe his words, his voice held urgency as he stared at everyone begging with his eyes to believe in him."It is not about sides. I just don't want innocents to die....innocents like Adam. The fight between the hunters and werewolves was over ten years ago and you are just trying to start it again. They are not bad people, they have suffered the loss too," but my words meant nothing to him. There was only hatred in his eyes as he looked at me.I inhaled a long breath, "I have lived with them, if they were bad I would be dead a long time ago but those people did everythi
The dark side of the moon Game's over
I knocked on the door and waited for the response while holding my breath."Eleanor, what a lovely surprise," grandpa said in his gruff voice with no sign of emotions on his face.I gave him a tight smile."Are you here to apologize for your barbaric behavior?"I bit my tongue to stop myself from giving him a remark that would not be good for my plan."I am sorry for my behavior, grandpa."I tried to make the words believable but from his squinted eyes I had a feeling I was not much successful."Very well, if you don't mind I am in a hurry."He closed the door and started taking quick steps.I didn't stop him and continued following him, "I know I have made you very upset in the last few days but I want to make up for that.""You are wrong my child, it is not the last few days it is the last few years."I rolled my eyes but kept walking knowing very well where he wa

"What happened there?""They kept on asking me questions about your soul mate," Ruhee said in her soothing voice, "and I kept on changing the topic.""They didn't hurt you, right?" I asked with worry. I did not want her to suffer more because of my family.Ruhee shook her head with a smile, "Your mother was there the entire time and she did not let them take any extreme measures. In fact, she was not happy with their decision at all."I bit the inside of my cheeks."Get some sleep."I stood up and left the room silently. Ruhee probably did not get the chance to sleep and needed some rest.I did not get much far before Faith stopped me, "El...""Save it," I continued walking."That is not a very nice way to behave with your sister," a gruff voice made me stop.I turned towards grandpa with a frown, "I was not trying to be nice."The corner of his already down lips turned f
The dark side of the moon Do not come back here
The sharp ray of the sun entered through the window, hitting me directly on the face. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around the room in a daze.With a yawn, I stretched my arms getting out of the bed.I rubbed my eyes as I tried to get rid of the sleep after staring at the blank purple wall of my room. But as soon as I remembered about last night my eyes opened wide forgetting everything about sleep.Faith...ice cream."Faith!!" I yelled opening the door of my room not caring if anyone was sleeping or doing some work.I banged my fists on the door of her bedroom, "FAITH OPEN THE DOOR!!"I kept slamming my fist on the door until I heard the sound of footsteps."What is your problem at 7 in the morning?" Faith asked with her eyes closed halfway."What did you do?" I ignored her question."What?""Oh, stop that. I know you added something into my ice cream yesterday when I was
