JaceIt was really weird for me and I could not understand what was actually going on. It would seem that Garrett had been close to me and then he fled.Everything here was happening so fast and I was beginning to fear for my sanity. My heart was beating so fast these days as I did not know what was going wrong. I eventually managed to go to bed and when I woke in the morning, I had a feeling that I most likely would not last long here with them. I had to start making alternative arrangements for my safety should there be a possibility that I lose this job.I went over to where I had kept my phone the day I had come here so I could call my former employer. At least, to talk to him civilly which would earn me a little bit of compassion from him if things go south here.But alas, it was not there. That seemed really confusing as I was certain that indeed I had left it there."Where is it?" I muttered as I looked everywhere. Yet, my phone was not there which is when I panicked.Here I wa
JaceI had been biding my time as everything seemed strange. I kept aiming to go outside and had even left everything in my bedroom so as not to seem suspicious. I had come here after all with nothing and would gradually figure my way out and maybe save for another phone. They could keep the other one for all I care.I left the house through the back at this time. Harold was not back yet too, so this gave me the edge. It was really hard maneuvering my way around as even the guy that usually stayed outside barely was out chatting with the gardener. I had no idea that he had come too and was about to go off when they turned to my side."Who's there?" The other guy demanded.I know if I ran, I would be out on a full sprint. Besides, there was a good possibility they were here for the same reason. I decided to act cool and step forward."I'm the one." I responded."Well, what are you doing around here snooping around?" The gardener asked me."I'm trying to find something for Master Damon.
Peter Everyone seemed to have been moving past the whole shenanigans surrounding the new boy although I simply could not evolve. I did not like what I was feeling at this point and had to try everything in the book to get him out of my head. I had no one to speak to or at the very least lay out my complaints because it would only make me weird.This night of Damon's party, I had actually seen Jace sneak away from the apartment. I had a feeling that he was probably trying to get away. Perhaps, he had noticed how I stared a lot at him and how I kept on trying to act like I was displeased with his presence. But then, I kept it all inside of my heart, trying my very best not to show.I had been hopeful he would make it out of this place. Away from me against the entire protesting from my wolf. I just wanted him to be safe from a sicko like me.But Harold the shrimp had to go on out of his way to bring him back home. And in that moment, it dawned on me that I would never be comfortable in
Donald I stood there as I took a long drag from the cigarette. I was sweating profusely and I felt a lot of anger running through my veins at that moment.The man seated on the chair was groaning weakly. Wait, did I just call this beast a man? There was absolutely nothing human about him and I was just getting ready to deliver him his final rites."So, you're not going to talk, eh?" I demanded as I turned to look at him. Throwing the cigarette to the floor as I stubbed it out with my feet."No." He responded.I had been with him for days now and he would not bulge. But right now, my patience had run out and it was going to be tit for tat. I either get what I want or I would give him what he deserves."You're strong but if you're not going to tell me anything, I would have to dispose of you." I said to him,"Do your worst." He muttered.I went over to him as I signalled the men to hold him up. Of course, he could not fight as he was wrapped with silver chains. There was even one acros
Harold I had to leave the house this morning as there were really urgent matters needing my attention. The Alpha demanded that I report to the pack house as there might be new rules."Another one went missing." I heard him say as I entered.The Beta was present as well and the Luna. I was worried because there was this look on the face of the alpha that told me everything was definitely not okay."My Alpha." I greeted him respectfully."Harold. Please sit." He said to me and I went over to sit where he gestured.I was rarely asked to sit down unless there was a very serious matter of urgency on ground. I could tell everything was not okay but turned to the Luna."My Luna." I greeted with a bow aimed her way."Harold." She acknowledged me."Beta Raphael." I greeted as well."Old Harold, it's been a while." He said to me,I smiled. There was this understanding I had with the beta. We were just chill."Where are the boys, Harold?" Alpha Ethan asked me.I was confused right now as I look
Peter I managed to get my head out of my ass and focus on the race. Eventually, I emerged victorious for the first round. I kept looking around and realised that there was no sign whatsoever of Jace in this place. Perhaps, it was just a figment of my imagination.I decided to go wait out for my final race in the car as I needed to keep a clear mind. I got to the car in the garage and shut the door after me. Leaning the seat backwards, I put on the headset with me as all I desired right now was some moments to clear everything out.Jace was really messing with my mind and I could not figure out the best way to push him out of my mind. It would seem that the more I tried hard to forget him, the harder it was for me to focus.I was playing my songs for some time when my phone started ringing. It was Damon calling me and I quickly sat up to answer."Yo." I hailed him."We saw you win." He said.I noticed that in the background, he seemed to be in a car."Are you driving?" I asked him."N
Jacob I had the inclination that it would be really great if I could get my brothers to go cheer Peter up at his game. I mean, we were the fantastic four after all and if one of us was winning, it was definitely all of us.I asked Jace if he wanted to tag along but the young man was insistent that he would much rather stick to his job as there was a lot on his desk. Hell, I would give anything for him to go with us by making it seem a must would cause me more questioning looks from my brothers who were already staring at me."What? The poor boy probably has never seen a motorbike race before." I said to them,"Whatever. Let's go " Garrett was still in his grumpy mood.We headed to the garage and despite managing to convince Damon to ride with me, Garrett was more or less going to drive himself. I liked to wish that Jace was driving with me but as we started out, I slowed down as I noticed Garrett was speaking to Jace. Before I would have time to eavesdrop, he sped up and was already
Garrett We all went into the library and Jacob being the last shut the door securely."What's with you and the house manager?" Peter demanded.I was angry at his mannerism towards Jace."His name is Jace." I corrected him."Whatever. Can you fix this?" He asked me as he placed the device on the table.I was so tempted to respond to his first attitude but we had more pressing matters at hand. Besides, I would not encourage him getting closer to Jace without my knowledge. I had to keep everyone away from the boy and detested that Jacob was being too nice to him.Yes, I might have myself some doubts but I did cherish him so much that it was becoming harder to conceal.I grabbed a seat closer and sat down as I inspected the device. My brothers hovered around and once it became boring, they all went and found things to distract them.Jacob was seated at a corner going through a book he pulled out.Peter was hovering around and Damon, he was on his phone.I twinkled around as it was hard f
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
