As the group of friends made their way into the cinema hall, the atmosphere was filled with a sense of anticipation. It was a rare occasion for all of them to hang out together like this, and the excitement was palpable. The girls, Thalia and Ashley excluded, decided to stick together, forming a small posse on their way to the snack bar. Draven, Wulfric, Lukas, and Nash followed closely behind, their chatter filled with laughter and excitement, leaving the rest of the group standing near the entrance of the cinema hall.Amidst the busy crowd, Ashley, and Rolf found themselves walking side by side. Rolf, seemingly lost in the digital world of his phone, had paid little attention to his surroundings. Ashley, on the other hand, couldn't contain her curiosity as she broke the silence with a question directed at Rolf, "So, what movie do you think it is?"Rolf's response was a distracted "Huh?" He hadn't caught what she said, his focus locked on the glowing screen of his smartphone. Nearby,
Thorian's outburst sent popcorn raining down on their group and the nearby rows, creating a minor commotion. Popcorn kernels bounced off startled moviegoers as they tried to shield themselves from the unexpected shower.Ashley and Rolf, now both sporting bemused expressions, exchanged glances before looking back at Thorian, who stood there with his arms still outstretched as if he had just released all the built-up frustration within him."What's gotten into you, Thorian?" Rolf asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.Thorian lowered his arms and let out an exasperated sigh. "I couldn't take it anymore," he confessed, his irritation now palpable. Ashley found herself unable to tolerate Thorian's outburst any longer, and she hastily rose from her seat, ready to scold him for his behavior. However, her sudden movement caused her drink to topple over, spilling its contents onto her lap and staining her clothes. Frustrated and annoyed, she tried to salvage her outfit by clumsily wiping i
Wulfric and Draven quickly sat up upon hearing Lukas, who had been hiding his face under his sweater, speak up."That's good they are gone," Wulfric sighed in relief, joy sparkling in his eyes."But guys, I kinda feel sad for the rest. Everyone got kicked out, and I feel they might be in trouble," Draven expressed, his worry evident as he started to panic."Calm down, Draven. Not everyone got kicked out," Lukas chimed in, attempting to reassure him."Yeah, Thalassa, Fenrisa, and Rolf didn't get kicked out, and besides, they went to find the others, so I'm sure they are fine," Wulfric added, joining in to reassure Draven. Lukas nodded in agreement, munching on his popcorn nonchalantly.Just as they were beginning to relax, a passionate kiss scene flashed on the screen. Lukas's inner wolf howled with excitement, and both Draven and Wulfric's eyes widened in surprise at his unexpected reaction.However, their shock was multiplied when they realized that the entire room had turned to look
Ashley's POV The scene unfolded before me like a whirlwind of confusion and intrigue. I found myself standing there, frozen, utterly unsure of what to do or say. All eyes were fixated on me, curious gazes filled with questions about why I was in the company of these apparent strangers. Though, from my perspective, they were no longer strangers. Mira, Janet, Penny, and the fourth one, whose name escaped me, had already introduced themselves, making them somewhat familiar faces. However, it hardly mattered since I knew I wouldn't be seeing them often. My real concern was not belonging here, and that sentiment extended to the group of friends who were now staring at me with a mix of confusion and concern.Thorian, his tone increasingly serious, repeated his question, "Where are you going with them, Ashley?"Caught in the crossfire of my own lies, I began, "Uhm, I was..."Before I could finish concocting my excuses, Mira pushed me aside and positioned herself in front of Thorian, clearly
As Thorian's surprising declaration hung in the air, the atmosphere seemed to shift. It was as if the winds of change were blowing through our little group, and I couldn't quite grasp the implications of his decision. Thalia, wearing an expression of disbelief, appeared temporarily silenced. Meanwhile, a mix of emotions played across the faces of the group, ranging from anticipation to confusion.Thorian, looking unperturbed by the turmoil he had just stirred, addressed the situation with a calm demeanor. "Well, it's settled then. We're going to the club."Nash, Wulfric, Lukas, and Draven exchanged triumphant glances, and a collective cheer erupted among Thorian's friends. The excitement was palpable, and it seemed that the prospect of defying the rules for a night of revelry had sparked a fire within them.Thalia, however, was not ready to give up her stance. She stepped closer to Thorian, her expression now a mixture of frustration and concern. "Thorian, you can't be serious. Going
The car ride between Ashley and Thorian was filled with silence. Neither of them spoke, creating a tense atmosphere around them.Finally, Ashley couldn't bear the silence any longer and asked, "Why did you want me to ride with you?" Thorian stopped the car and turned to look at Ashley."Dummy, we're gonna lose them," Ashley snapped, hitting his arm. Thorian winced at her outburst before starting the car again and driving. After a few minutes, Thorian spoke, "You didn't have to hit me that hard," he whined, pouting a little.Now, let's see things from Ashley's point of view. Seeing Thorian up close made Ashley understand why Emily called him the hottest guy ever. He was undeniably handsome, and she had to admit it. He turned to look at her, and she immediately looked away, not wanting him to catch her staring at him.After what felt like hours to Ashley, Thorian suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt. Ashley turned to look at him, wondering why he had stopped. She s
Fear gripped Ashley's heart as she stood in that dimly lit room, surrounded by James and the six menacing boys. The malevolent laughter filling the air sent shivers down her spine, and her eyes darted around, taking in the gruesome tableau of lifeless bodies and blood-stained floors."What is this?" Ashley stammered, her voice trembling with a mix of dread and disbelief.James, still wearing that eerie grin, explained, "You see, Ashley, we have a little operation going on here. We gather 'donors' for a rather unconventional purpose."The boys closed in, their faces twisted with malice, their knives glinting ominously in the dim light. Ashley's heart pounded in her chest as she realized the gravity of her situation."I won't be a part of this," she declared, her voice growing more resolute. She needed to find a way out of this horrifying ordeal.James chuckled darkly. "Oh, but you see, you don't have much of a choice." He nodded toward one of the boys, who advanced toward Ashley with a
Thorian's POV:Deep within the inner recesses of my being, I grappled with an insatiable urge to divulge my true nature to these hapless humans who had recklessly transgressed into my territory. Their audacious intrusion into my personal space, coupled with their brash threats against my very existence, struck me as absurd in the extreme. Yet, I remained concealed in the shadows, guarding the full extent of my power, a predator in waiting.As I observed the unfolding drama, my frustration grew with every moment. Ashley, in her moment of vulnerability, resorted to pleading with them, inadvertently revealing more of her human nature than her wolfish prowess. It irked me to the core that these humans remained blissfully oblivious to the dire consequences that awaited those who dared to challenge me—the alpha whose authority was unassailable, and whose pride was untouchable.Amid the heavy silence that enveloped us, a voice abruptly shattered the fragile equilibrium, jolting me out of my
