Jacob I had been waiting for that alert as I kept searching and suddenly it happened. It was really confusing how everyone that came in seemed a little legit via the time when Peter said those men came in with vehicles. There was something wrong with the footage from that area and I was having a really hard time figuring it out.So before Harold came inside, I had actually put everything in a really slow motion loop. That way, I would be able to know if there was missing footage. That would help me.It was supposed to alert me at the point when the footage jumped to another transition. That was the red that had alerted us. There was something missing indeed."You seem like you found something. What happened?" Harold asked me."Watch this." I said as I played back a little at the normal speed. He watched everything with such keen attention. "Notice anything?"I had to ask after it finished playing. Old Harold could not make anything out and wore his glasses."Play it again." He said t
HaroldThe boys were amazing and I was impressed. I no longer saw them as a job I had to do but as my sons that had grown into able bodied men. They were simply so amazing that my pride swelled.Listening to everyone speak made me realise that they were more than ready. Heck, even Damon, the ultimate unserious of the family, was suddenly protective. I could tell his anger was his little way of stepping up to his responsibility. He was clearly the boomerang that would strike out the enemies.Then, there was Peter. The awesome and ultimate browser. He seemed to be having the blame tendencies with how he was trying to make it his fault that something had happened to anyone especially the person that had been taken. I could tell that he was going to make one heck of a protector too.Then, there was Jacob. As calculated as ever. He was the one who saw it all and perfected it all in his head. He had his eyes on his goal and would do everything within his power to shield his family.And then
Peter Of course I had a lot to say to him. I had lots of questions especially surrounding the fact that he has spent his time in Jace's room. I had woken up this morning feeling really curious over the fact that he had slept there. I probably hurried down for breakfast in hopes that I would catch him there early but upon arriving at the dining area, Garrett was not there. Jacob was already eating."Took you long enough." He said to me,"Where's Garrett?" I demanded."You wouldn't even say hello to me?" Damon asked me.I mean, we both were buddies. Unlike that asshole pretender among all of us that would act like he did not care that Jace was among us when he would sneak into his room. Why on earth was he sneaking around if his intentions were clean?"Hello, Damon." I said to him without looking at him as just then, Jace came to pour out my tea.By the moon goddess I caught Garrett's scent on him. Or was I imagining it? It made me even pissed at him that I was prompted to stop him fr
Damon They pretended like they had everything all figured out but I could tell no one just had the balls I did to go face it off with those nasty bounty hunters. They needed to understand and know who's boss or they would not fear us.For the longest time, I had studied our history with the bounty hunters and how they came into being. It had been a group of humans who thought highly of themselves and neglecting their evil deeds was what led us to this point actually. We could have reacted or even treated them at the onset rather than letting them grow stronger. Our ancestors made this grievous mistake that was eating into us and now, it was just too hard and impossible to ignore.Now, I had said what was clearly in everyone's mind and I suddenly was the crazy fella they needed to tame? Is there any form of hypocrisy that was greater than this? Nevertheless, I decided to follow their plan only because of one thing, I needed to pinpoint the location of those assholes and then, I would
Jace The previous night with Garrett had been really something and for a long while as I laid beside him, my mind was actually wandering as I pondered over what was happening. I mean, we kissed and definitely had a feel for each other which was not totally weird but why? Why did he have to do this to me?Do not get me wrong. I enjoyed myself and was clearly beginning to embrace whatever this was between us. However, alas, I could not even begin to help myself with the kind of thoughts that I was having. It seemed like I was beginning to lose myself. Whatever the case here, I did not want this moment to end. The thought that after all this is done, in the morning, he would act like he did not know me really hurt me. I wanted to be acknowledged clearly. I wanted to matter to him no matter how little it may seem. I did care so much after all about this guy.Or so it was beginning to dawn on me.He felt really good. And right now, he held me in his arms as he slept through the night. Too
Garrett I had fallen totally. Jace was such a lovable person that made me feel so much desire to draw him closer to me. We shared a little moment that night but it meant so much to me. The trouble I had been having sleeping disappeared the moment I drew him closer to me and cuddled him. It was as if a really big weight had just been lifted off my shoulder. I did not even care anymore about the bounty hunters and their troubles. All I cared about was this moment that we were sharing.It was a night of bliss. I did have the most stimulating yet exciting dream too. It all led to me wondering what it would be like if I could just stay here with him forever. By the time I opened my eyes again, it was still dark but I knew it was morning. The birds were beginning to wake up rather early and I checked the time. The entire house was quiet. Which was really good and I looked beside me at him. It might be dark but I am still a werewolf. I could see basically everything about him and for the f
Jacob It was beginning to feel really weird and I could not even start thinking of how. Jace was creating a sort of commotion between my brothers and I. Not like he knew about it but his presence made everyone, me included, lose our senses. It was like we all revolved around him and trying to make him feel happy about himself and things around him. This time, I could not even start on how pissed I have been through the whole discussion indicating how he wore Garrett's scent. I was angry and jealous at the same time. These two emotions were things I never really enjoyed dealing with.I had to be the reasonable one between them all which was why I decided to go away first. I did not even care to know what Garrett had come up with from his findings over the night as the thought of him being the bone of contention this morning really had me going crazy. Perhaps, I would sneak into Jace's room and get rid of Garrett's scent once and for all. That seemed like the best thing to do and bein
Peter I was actually fuming in my room at this point. Everything and everyone seemed to have gotten on my very last nerves making me feel like some anti hero. I started wondering if they could have been happier had I died the previous day. Just maybe, a lot of things that were happening would not have occurred between us all. I was hurt and scared at the same time. Everything seemed to make no sense to me anymore and all I wanted was a little peace of mind. It was the bounty hunters. They probably were messing with my mind. Had they not returned, I would have kept on playing it cool with everyone including my brothers. No one would have to hear me get angry. Not even that asshole, Garrett.Speaking of Garrett. There were things about him that were beginning to creep me out. For instance, while I had been arguing with him, there was a scent that I recognised as Jace's. If I did not know better, I would have suspected him outrightly. I just wanted to believe within me that Jace had gon
Jacob Eventually, it was time to go home as we could not find his friend. I started the drive home but I could not help but notice his dampened mood. Jace was not happy about what had happened and I was even disappointed at myself. I mean, the very first time I had wondered if Jace was the one she was looking for, I should have asked her the name of her brother instead of assuming his age. Without even suspecting, I still should have asked his name and who knows, I could have brought her home alongside the burger. It made me feel stupid as though I no longer paid attention to details myself. I looked at him occasionally but he said was looking at the other side. Had the window been opened, he pretty much could have been leaning his face out the window. I started to think of ways to cheer him up when it struck me.I asked him to tell me about Molly. The plan was that as soon as he started recounting memories of her, he would be really happy and forget briefly his pain. But then he sta
Garrett It was the first time that I have seen Harold this way. His eyes flashed with so much anger and I could tell that he was pissed. The way he balled his fist made me really worried and I was beginning to hope that Damon would help out with calming down. Come on, I was also not expecting anything because I mean, it was Damon that we were all talking about here. He would much rather fight everyone than use his head to think properly. Looking at him right now, I knew he was pissed. Seriously, where was Jacob when one needs him the most. Harold's eyes were beginning to blaze bright yellow and I knew it would be hard to get him to calm down if he unravels his claws and Jace might walk in anytime.Besides, I too was beginning to get angry. Jace had left with Jacob which made me really concerned that he would be in the same space as another male even though it was my brother. Anger was actually dealing with me that all this while, I had not been able to focus on my work. I had managed
Damon Garrett had eventually left the room after our argument. It was clear that he was not really onboard with the fact that I had brought that fox back home, much less let it come as a pet. I really felt bad because all I wanted was to make him happy. And also, I knew what emotions were emitting from me and was hoping that being a little nice to him would bring it all to check. But it was going to strike a rift between my brothers and I. Thinking now, we already had the bounty hunters to worry about, adding this to the equation when it was not necessary would not really help.So, I heard Garrett out until he was done and he left. Jace was downstairs at this time and I decided that I would go there and see him. I had to make him understand that he had to let Charlie go. Charlie, another question that even Garrett was seeking answers to. Of all names out there which he could have given them fox, it had to just be Charlie. How convenient. I mean, I was beginning to see reasons as to
Harold I had to keep it cool but then it was hard. Martins was just too hard to ignore that I totally lost my cool which I had promised myself that I would be keeping intact. Eventually, I had to focus on what was necessary and we had him do his checks. I was still angry but alas I realised that I did not hate him. I missed him so much that I decided to go back inside. I asked Peter to wait in the car with hopes to spend some time with Martins. It might not be much but it was enough for us to hug and eventually kiss. We had missed each other. I had to break away from him and warned him sternly not to run away or do anything stupid because I would come back to find him.He agreed and then, I heard Peter rushing away. Seriously, I had not expected that he would eavesdrop but I was hoping that I would much later clear the air. Martins still wondered who the lad was to me but I told him on a good day, I would bring Peter and tell him exactly who he was. From his eyes, I noticed he suspec
Peter Harold and I eventually went on to visit more places but for the first time, I really felt for him. He had actually noticed that I had been eavesdropping on their conversation earlier and I did apologize as I told him I would not say a word when he came into the car. He watched me for sometime and then he broke down crying. Seeing Harold like this really hurt me to the marrows that I could feel the lump and pressure in my chest while I comforted him. It was never going to be easy, dealing with certain lifestyles especially in our pack. Those things were forbidden."Can you drive?" He had finally asked me and I agreed. We both got out of our respective sides of the car and then I asked him to punch in the details of where we were headed next. He fiddled for something, clearly worn out from his mood and I asked him to call it out while I did the punching in. The moment he did so, I started driving without questions although I wished I could ask him a thing or two. In my head, I
JaceNo. Today was really beginning to morph into something I had not expected. Everything was just happening too fast and I started wondering what it would feel like when it got out of hand. Here I was getting bedazzled at first by the thought of having a new pet. But then there had to be a controversy around whether or not he would be staying and of course, his name. It kept on hitting me that I was going to get hurt when the rest of the party showed up and they decided that Charlie should leave. Nevertheless, I remained firm in my thoughts.Now, presently I was fleeing from Garrett when I saw that logo. I always wondered what it meant at the time especially when he had tried to brand me which was the last day of his life but it sure as hell scared me greatly. It was almost as if he had been the one behind everything here as there was no absurd theory that did not cross my mind. I mean, Harold had suddenly appeared from nowhere and found me interesting. He even seemed to know things
Garrett Charlie...was this some sort of joke or something? I could not believe that it was just a coincidence. I mean, there were other ways it could have happened but hearing this one was totally out of it. I noticed that Jace was worried about my reaction and I did my best to comfort him. I could not be mad at him. At least, he had not brought back a pet to the house knowing well enough that it was something we all still had trauma towards. Also, he most certainly did not come up with that name. This had to be one of my dumb brother's games to get on my nerves.I knew Damon. He has always been up to no good and would work at creating mischief at every chance he gets. It had always been my call to fix his mess all along. Even when he went extreme and hurt people. But then, Peter was his close ally. They were practically an inseparable duo compared to everyone else. When I look at one person, I always see the other following closely. Why on earth would he choose to bring up something
Harold Peter seemed to be in a lighter mood at this point but if only he knew how heavy mine was. The first stop we would be making was the most crucial of all to me and that particularly was because of the person in charge of the place. All across the state were our districts and their heads. It was more or less a certain kind of place that stood as the overseer of the werewolves leaving around the area. These districts were responsible for collecting information on our kind and ensuring there was peace. They also made certain that werewolves especially the young ones did not break the laws as it was no exception to them.This particular one was a church cathedral. Very large and was being manned by our kind. It was not really easy or fun to know that one of us was having too many interactions with humans, much less the fact that he was in charge of records keeping. But the Alpha had found him worthy of the position and eventually had to make it easier by establishing him above the
Peter Three werewolves from this district already? Hell, the moon goddess alone knows how many more are missing in the others and how many more we would have to deal with their loss.I was beginning to feel really angry at this point and faced both men. Harold too was startled as clearly, he had not expected that there would be up to three missing. For a moment, he was really quiet. I mean, the news had a way of hitting us sharply. I was also beginning to fear for our pack and what things could happen if this is not curbed as soon as possible.Another question was popping up in my mind. If they were back here, does that mean they had conquered other packs? Due to this rule of law, there were different Alphas in other states actually. It was a way of having everyone minding their business. Although ours was the strongest of all and our territory spread throughout five states. Others had two at the most and some states belonged only to the humans. Others, I heard, were overrun by bount
