-Ethan-It’s been almost a year since the last time I saw Angeline. And honestly, it wasn’t easy. I know that the moment that she told me she wanted to join me as I helped the Wave Water pack I knew that she was leaving. She didn’t really have to say it or mention it for me to know. Let’s just say I saw it coming.“Tell me again why we should let her leave?” Fiona asked angrily. “She is living just fine here, with us.”“You know that she made me promise right?” I reminded her. It’s funny how it was not only me who got the feeling that she was planning how to leave, and I would just let her be.When Raja offered to tell me everything, I declined the offer. I don’t want to make Angeline feel that I can’t be trusted. I promised her, and I intend to fulfill that promise.Unfortunately, my sister was not in the same page as I was.“Why Ethan?” Fiona asked disappointedly. “Why do you have to sacrifice your happiness once again?”“I am not,” I replied even though a part of me was slowly
-Ethan-“It’s almost time Alpha,” Raja said, and I know exactly what she meant. “I miss her,” Fiona said, sadly. I know that she still tried to stop Angeline when she wanted to come with me but in the end, she respected what Angeline had wanted. It was not easy to let her go but I know that she wouldn’t find the peace that she had always been looking for.“Has she made contact?” I asked as Raja shook her head no. “I am worried Alpha that she might max out the time limit that I had given her,” Raja said, worry filling her voice. “Is that going to be a problem?” I asked even though I already had a feeling about what her reply would be. “The magic might have worn out earlier than expected,” Raja confessed. “Did you let her know of the consequences?” I asked running a hand through my hair as I tried to think of ways to let Angeline know that I knew that she was alive. Well, I have nothing to hide anyway since I know about her plan and I kept my word to not interfere. I don’t even kno
-Ethan-It’s been almost a year and I am unsure what I would feel when I see Angeline again. I am excited and scared at the same time. I am not sure if I would ever recognize her and if ever I do, would I be able to stop myself from approaching her?“Why am I always the one left behind?” Garrick complains after hearing that we will be going to Stefan’s pack. “It’s because I trust that you would make sure the pack is under control and okay while I am gone.”“We all know that Lucas can do just the exact same thing. Why do you always choose me to stay behind?” Garrick pointed out. If I look at it, I know Garrick has a point. Even when we discussed ranking, Lucas was the better option. But one thing that Lucas has that Garrick doesn’t possess is patience.“Should I remind you what happened the last time you went with Ethan?” Lucas said teasingly.I heard Garrick groaned and Lucas ended up laughing.“One of these days you will be able to join us, but as long as vampires are running freely
-Ethan-I rushed to the direction of the orphanage in my wolf form with only one thought in mind. Angeline…Of all her crazy ideas, joining that group created by Elias without the ability to shift into wolf form is one of the stupidest she has made. I know very well what her reason would be and that is to be noticed by Stefan. I’m not sure why she would go to such lengths, which I am trying very hard to understand. Even though I’m having a hard time understanding it. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt even though I was having a hard time fighting myself to justify her actions. Fear was gripping my heart with every step I took towards her. I run as fast as my four feet would allow me to trying my best to leap farther and farther than the last time I did.‘Alpha, you are running so fast we are having a hard time keeping up,’ Lucas said through the link.‘Just follow my scent,’ I replied without slowing down.I need to get to her, before something happens to her and before
-Angeline-The sound of someone screaming alerted me. I turned around just in time to see a big black wolf flying over me with its big mouth opened wide aiming for the newborn who was just inches away from me. Once he had torn the newborn into pieces the black wolf faced me and growled angrily as if it was scolding me.Instead of paying him the attention he was seeking, I turned my attention back to the elite warrior and checked if he was okay before assisting him back to where Stefan was. “What was that?” Stefan asked furiously as he approached where I stood with one of his warriors. A part of me wished that he was in wolf form just like the black wolf so that I wouldn’t get deaf with his scolding.When I didn’t answer him, Stefan looked at me as if I had just grown some horns on my face. But once again, I didn’t dare say anything, instead, I turned my attention back to the warrior beside me who seemed to feel more afraid of Stefan than being hurt. Another warrior approached us a
-Stefan-I hate this situation. The feeling of helplessness and the feeling that I am about to lose someone once again. But here I am watching the woman who has saved my son in her human form rush towards Ethan’s wolf. The one who saved her. And despite the state that we are in, I can’t help but feel envious of my bestfriend for getting her attention. Why did Ethan have to arrive at the right moment and place and save her? Because if there was someone who could have saved her, it should have been me. ‘You shouldn’t be here,’ Elias said through the mind link as he tore apart one of the newborns.‘Why?!’ I asked him angrily as I could no longer hold my emotions.‘You are our Alpha,’ he answered, ‘We need you safe.’ Safe. I hate that word. I was going for Angeline’s safety when I didn’t mark her when I avoided her. When I treated her the way I did because I knew that if they found out that I cared for her my enemies would target her instead of me. And because of that, because of
-Stefan-I waited in the pack house impatiently. Another first for me. It’s been a while since I became this restless over something that I can’t really control. I left Elias by the falls to ensure that there were no remaining newborns and burned those that were dead. In the meantime I let my son stay in the orphanage with the state-of-the-art security while I spoke to Ethan about closing the secret access that only the two of us were supposed to know and yet the newborns found it. “Why so gloomy?” Ethan said with a smirk as he walked into my office. “Who wouldn’t be?” I asked back stating the obvious reason for my gloomy mood. “Is it because of the attack? Or, is it because of some woman you can’t get out of your head?” Ethan teases. “Oh, really now?” The voice I was beginning to hate so much spoke out of nowhere, “You missed me? But I wasn’t very far away.” Slowly, I was beginning to hate not only the voice but the owner of it. “So where were you while your pack was being at
-Angelica-I was never expecting him to recognize me but then again I did give him the clues to know that it was me. Out of all the times he had to visit Stefan’s pack why did it have to be now?I’m not sure if this was fate playing with us or if this was what was really meant to happen. On the other hand, I got to see Fiona who was still undecided if she was going to be angry with me or happy to see me once again. In the end, she decided that she was angry but placed her anger on hold just to spend those precious moments with me. Because as much as I hate to admit it, I miss her too. Aside from Fiona, another thing good thing is that I was able to see Raja without any hassle who of course isn’t as happy as I am upon seeing her. “Raja!” I called her happy as I dropped by the room that was assigned to them which was another thing that I was thankful for because they are located not far from my house here in the pack. Raja looked at me with those beady eyes that she used to me when
