2024-10-29 19:42:56"I thought out of all the people you would trust me," I crossed my arms over my chest and started looking outside through the glass window to avoid Adam.
"El, I am just stating the truth. There was not enough light and after what happened in the forest you might have just imagined it," he said the last words slowly.
I stared at him with a disapproving look.
I started looking around to avoid him once again. We were sitting at the end of a cafe. Every corner seemed completely different. A plain center and artsy designs on either side of two walls was the first thing to catch the attention of a visitor. While the third wall had glass windows all over it.
The last corner had plants and a small bookshelf, the tables had a wooden wall separating them.
"El, not looking at me won't make me disappear."
"No, but apparently I have a great imagination so I am just imagining you are not here," I smiled at him.
After what I witnessed last night I n

The dark side of the moon Warning
I knew so much but I had no evidence to prove my words. What could be worse than that? I kicked the pebble on the road thinking about my current situation and what I could do to change it. I gave a smile to a woman on my way who returned it with a small smile of her own that failed to reach her eyes. It was not only her, everyone was scared. The playground was not filled with the laughter of kids, the roads were empty, the cafes and restaurants were closed before darkness could take over the blue sky. "Ma'am, could you tell me this location?" a coarse voice asked me from behind. Thinking it might be someone who lost his way, "Sure," I answered before looking at him. I froze looking at the lean man wearing a thick brown jacket, baggy pants, and a beanie over his head. He had an uneven smile on his face that was covered in the beard. I put on a fake smile as well hiding my fear while clutching the keychain with a small knife in m
The dark side of the moon Perfect daughter
I was annoyed by the audacity of that man to leave me alone after throwing a bunch of warnings on my way.I kept taking heavy steps, mumbling curses, and how I would expose him in front of everyone. I was sure if anyone saw me at that moment, that person might think I was crazy, but it was a good thing I already made sure no one was around.When I reached the front door, I put the keychain back in the bag and removed the credit card from the bag about which no one had any idea. I was already 18 and it was the money I earned by doing some jobs here and there.Grandpa might not be my favorite person but his constant taunts about me not being ready to face the real world worked as a motivation for me.Putting the card carefully in the pocket of my dress, I rolled my shoulders to correct my posture and opened the door slowly. When I didn't see anyone I started walking towards my room."Where were you?" my mother's voice stopped me before I could
The dark side of the moon Goodbye world
Slowly I looked at the voice. A tall man with a lean figure was standing below the tree, staring at me with his head tilted slightly towards the left.It was not hard for me to recognize that brown jacket and the beanie. The light peeking through the leaves was falling unevenly on his face. "No, I...I am with a friend," I tried to lie while keeping an eye on him. He gave a short laugh and scratched his beard with long dark nails. "A friend you say. Where is this friend?" My heart started beating faster as he took a step forward. "He is waiting for me and if I did not get there in five minutes he will come here with other people." He paused on his spot like he was thinking if I was telling him the truth or not. "You are lying," he finally said. I started thinking of every possible way to get out of there, "Wait here for five minutes and you will get the proof." He shook his he
The dark side of the moon Falling
Waiting for the burning sensation of his teeth sinking inside my flesh, I kept my eyes closed.After very long seconds which felt like hours, I opened my eyes as the pain I was preparing myself for never came.The sun was almost dipped behind the canopy of trees, which was now more clear. The faint light was coming towards my way but it was getting blocked by the masculine figure standing in front of me.I ran my eyes around the whole scene, I was near the exit but never noticed it because of my fear.The brown wolf was on the ground a few feet away with his fur covered in blood around the neck.I turned my gaze away from him quickly as I was almost sure he was dead from the amount of blood that was soaking the grass beneath him.I tried to look at the man standing in front of me like a statue without moving at all.The faint smell of familiar cologne entered my nostrils and I was instantly aware of the identit
The dark side of the moon The answer
Damien was standing still near the door, with hands in the pocket of his dark pants.I did not say anything and watched the girl place the plate of food on the table one more time."I said I am not hungry."Just then the loud growl from my stomach pierced through the silence of the room.Damien arched an eyebrow barely containing his laughter, "Sure."The girl stood next to the table with her head down."You can leave," Damien announced in a stern voice without looking at her.The girl left the room without saying another word or glancing in my direction.Damien pushed the chair for me to sit but I did not move from my place."I am not eating anything until you give me answers," I folded my arms."We can talk after you eat something.""Where am I? Does my family know about my whereabouts? How did that man turn into an animal and how did you kill it so easily?"Damien stood in front of me without sayi
The dark side of the moon Amazing start of the day
It might be the first time the warmth of the water was not providing me the comfort I was searching for desperately. I was annoyed because I was still locked inside the room like an animal....the irony was laughable and I would have laughed only if I was still in my town and not in some foreign place surrounded by werewolves. The first thing I saw after opening the window was not the stunning view of the forest with the soft rays of sun spreading over it, but a private property with large gates. I would have jumped from the window to reach the garden but I was stuck on the second floor. A knock on my door stopped me from cursing Damien, "What?" "I have left your clothes on the bed." It was the same calm voice of the girl from yesterday night. "Okay." I quickly wrapped a towel around my body and made my way to the bedroom. There was everything I needed on the bed placed neatly. I changed into the grey w
The dark side of the moon Far away from home
One thing was crystal clear, the sudden decision of sending Faith away was not so sudden after all.Mom saved Faith from everything.She picked her favorite daughter to have a safe life away from the hunters and the werewolves. But how did dad agree with her plan?Did Adam know about this?Countless questions were running inside my head freely but there was one question bigger than others. Why was I alive?Damien could have killed me that day easily, killing was not hard for him, and from his reaction, it wasn't new either.There was a knock on the door.I rolled my eyes wondering what's the point of knocking if they were keeping the door locked?The same girl entered with a smile, carrying a huge bowl in her hands. The bowl was not huge but it looked huge as compared to her."I get it Damien asked you to keep me alive but you don't have to go through so much trouble," I looked outside the window keeping my h
The dark side of the moon His story
"So, you're telling me that these are some sort of werewolf genes which are passed on from one generation to the other?"Ruhee nodded slowly, "There are exceptions, of course.""What do you mean?"I was finally getting to know something about the new world."Sometimes the child is not a werewolf, even if both the parents are," she explained with a sad tone to her voice.Ruhee seemed like the person who did not belong in the world of werewolves. The beanie man, Damien, and the few others I had seen were the exact opposite of the gentle girl in front of me.But looks could be deceiving, said the small voice inside my head."A person can't turn by the bite from a werewolf on the night of full moon?"She giggled softly and shook her head, the hair in the ponytail moved with the motion of her head.How well hidden was their world and more importantly what other creatures were lurking in the dark with the human mas

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
The dark side of the moon I am great at following rules
"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
The dark side of the moon I need your help
"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
