After that terrifying incident on the training field that night, Adrian seemed to be reclusive.

He only apologized for what happened the night after, but since then, he kept to himself and stopped coming afterwards. He told me he was sorry for making me afraid that night but stopped even looking at me. He chose to retreat to his chambers, only coming out when he's summoned for work. This left me bewildered and full of worry.

Days turned into nights, and still, Adrian remained secluded, avoiding any interaction with me. He didn't need to explain what had happened that night as he looked visibly confused too after it happened, but with the way he behaved afterwards, it only made me wander. I couldn't help but feel sadness and confusion deep within my heart.

Why was he pushing me away? What had happened when he was alone in his chambers? What had he made himself believe that makes for his behaviour to me after that night?

Each passing day only made me more concerned I found myself restl

    Another week had passed. Tyler and Audrey visited for sometime again, for reasons I didn't want to know, and Adrian had been more quiet than usual. I knew why but I wandered every night, not wanting to sleep, if things would go back to normal after what we had both realized. Adrian has become a hybrid.It was a secret I would keep to myself and one Adrian and I would both share. He hadn't burst into a transformation ever since the last time and he'd been trying to hone his new found truth and powers. That was something really admirable about him. Not letting the unexpected twist of things depress him, but making the most out of it.Though, I felt Adrian's conflicted view of being part his kind and part a kind who hates his kind, I wish this would've happened to him not during an era where the hatred between our kinds were too profound. I constantly wished things would get less complicated, but I had helped a vampire - the greatest taboo a pack hunter can commit, so what could I expec

    My hands on the wall beside the door slid down slowly as I reclined back. I looked at everyone else, and the cluelessness showed on their faces.I didn't know how to take in that information. Really, I didn't want to believe it. It had always been my dream to be the Luna of this pack - I had fantasized about it and spent my idle time speculating on how exactly the kingdom would be with me and Ty-He walked out of the room he was in with Audrey and closed the door behind him. With his back to the wall, he shifted his gaze to me. I could see regret and self-denial in his eyes, as if he was trying to tell me something but he didn't want anyone else to hear.My father's voice brought back my attention, "Oh, that's splendid, Alpha. Em…when may the preparations begin?""As soon as my son proposes to the girl.""He hasn't proposed yet?""No, but he's told me he wishes to marry her and I have come to tell you so you can talk to the girl's father."I turned to look back at Tyler and he did the

    Tyler looked at him then dragged me to his side, still holding my arm, "It's like I haven't given you a proper thrashing yet…""If you want to go for it now, you can come on ahead. Let her go first." Adrian looked at me with empathy."And who are you to tell me what to do?""Let her go…""Fuck my ass." Tyler said and spat at Adrian.Adrian smirked then cleaned his mouth with the back of his hand. He started walking towards us with a raised fist and just before he struck Taylor, I stood in front of Taylor and held Adrian's chest."No, please…don't…", Adrian looked at me in confusion as he lowered his fist."Both of you should stop this please. Just stop everything…it's not helping anybody." I said, panting.Tyler still walked closer to Adrian so their faces were inches from eachother, "If you think I'd let you take what's mine, you better think again. And I swear if I see you again, I'd tear you from limb to limb." He brushed his shoulder as he walked past him and turned again to look

    The other pack hunters noticed my growing connection with Adrian, as a result of the number of hours I spent with him. Ever since the last incident, we had been cautious to not be seen alone so we planned to meet only at nights. When a month already passed, we got more comfortable talking during the day, as far as we were in the midst of others, expect my father. The others disapproved of our connection, and their worried expressions showed their concern. It seemed like my involvement with Adrian had stirred up fear and uncertainty among them.One by one, pack members came to me (including people I had never talked to), looking worried and cautious. They spoke quietly, telling me to stay away from Adrian and break the bond between us. They warned me about-face the dangers of being with "someone like him" and going against our pack's traditions and values."You're our leader's daughter, you should know better." One guy who looked like Brad Pitt told me."I had asked you out not too lo

    A pin drop could be heard.The vampire remained quiet. This obviously boiled my father's blood."Can't you speak?!"He remained in his ordeal, only returning the same death glare my father gave him."I'm coming, Sarah." She barely heard me since she was so focused on the vampire. Guess she was also fascinated too.I maneuvered my way to Adrian, feeling anxious and excited. I could see shock and recognition in his eyes. There was a connection between them that went beyond what I could guess. I wanted to know what had happened between them and how it would affect us now."Adrian…" I called to him, just a few people away from him, but he didn't look away from the vampire."Adrian…" I called again but he didn't look away."If you won't talk, then we'll get the information from you the hard way." My father commanded and waved his hands to signal the men to take him away to be locked up. "Meeting dismissed!"They held him roughly and as he was being dragged away, I could see the way he and

    Alarms were ringing around me.The escape had been discovered, and chaos erupted in the grove. The others hurriedly sprang into action, their urgent footsteps echoing through the woods as they tried to track down Ethan.I was torn between my friendship with Jaxon and the safety of the pack. Should I expose Jaxon's involvement in the escape? Or should I keep his secret, unsure of the consequences it might bring? I needed to first know why he did what he did.Jax? Helping a vampire? How did that even make sense? Am I really sure I saw right?As the pack members spread out, determined to capture the vampire, I found myself at a crossroads, facing a difficult decision. I couldn't ignore the fact that Jaxon had put our pack at risk, but I also couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to his actions than I knew.I did decide to stay silent, waiting to see how things unfolded and only revealing Jaxon's role if it became absolutely necessary. It was a risky choice, testing my trust and

    A week into the search and progress hadn't been made. Adrian was still in jail, and my mom prohibited Sarah and I from moving around too much since we were in "delicate times." On the other hand, rumours had spread fast that some werewolves from our grove had been involved in a secret meeting with some unidentified vampires. I literally don't know where and how the rumour started but it was a particular day Sarah and I were playing cherades in our room, and she brought it up, I came to know of it."A secret meeting?" My voice rang."Yeah. I heard Don went for it too and that's why he's been missing. They say it's been happening for months now, somewhere hidden in the woods, away from any of our kinds' prying eyes."Don had gone missing. So that's why I haven't seen him for such a long time. But why did noone talk about him and just - forget and pretend like he never existed? This is getting stranger than I could divulge."But who attended those meetings?""Werewolves and vampires. Th

We were in the main room. Suddenly, darkness loomed over the grove and I saw through the window, Audrey walking towards the pack with an eerie black fog enveloping her every step.The dark fog surrounded her, and her eyes glowed with an unnatural intensity. "Well, well, well, look who decided to show up," she sneered.We all immediately became alarmed and ran outside.Lily stepped forward, her gaze steady. "What do you want, Audrey?" she demanded."Oh, just to have a little chat with my former friends," Audrey replied, her voice dripping with venom. "You see, I've come to realize that I'm better off without all of you."I felt a surge of anger rise within me. "You betrayed us, Audrey," I said, "We trusted you, and you turned your back on us."Audrey laughed mockingly. "Trust is

    The evening was spooky, with fog all around as Leo and Ethan went into the caves. They had to find that medallion so they could be given another chance at summoning their demon lord.Ethan who was also confused as to why their search had changed asked Leo, "I didn't want to seem too inquisitive but I wanted to ask why we're no longer looking for the journal and ring but for…a medallion?""You're so simple minded, Ethan. It is not just any medallion. It is the Bodessa medallion, forged from the breasts of the goddess Odessa hersel, the same breasts the demon Lord rested on and slept with. It is the only artifact that can immediately summon the demon Lord upon calling from it, without waiting for centuries to get a single chance which one may likely flop at."Ethan decided not to ask any more questions but just follow and wait. It was pretty obvious their alliance wasn't strong, and they both had their secret plans.When they reached where the medallion should be, according to what Lily

Pablo's eyes narrowed."I am not doing anything you say until you tell me what you did to Jaxon."My heart pounded in my chest as I stood in front of Pablo. I couldn't hold back any longer as anger and frustration boiled through me. I needed answers, and I deserved to know the truth."I taught him a lesson…a lesson he would never forget." He said and licked the edge of his blade. He went on to say more but I could barely listen with a straight face."Pablo, how could you do that to Jaxon?" My voice trembled with emotion. "He would do anything for you yet you'd hurt him.""Apparently not everything…" Pablo's expression remained stoic, and he spoke in a calm, detached tone. "I did what was necessary for the greater good of our mission," he replied, his words echoing with an unsettling sense of righteousness."The greater good?" I spat, unable to contain my anger any longer. "You manipulated Jaxon, you didn't value him. You used him.""He

    As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple, Sarah and Theo rode their bikes along the winding forest trail. It had been a pleasant afternoon, and they were looking forward to reaching the safety of the grove before nightfall.The warm sun illuminated the forest around them, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Birds chirped cheerfully, and a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves. "You're going too fast, Sarah! There's a cliff ahead!" Theo shouted at Sarah who was ahead of him. He was laughing out loud and so was she."I know, dad!" They came into a halt and mounted their bikes. They both walked arm in arm to the cliff and gazed at the rocks down with the amazing greeny ahead."Wow." Sarah exclaimed and rested her head on his shoulder. They took in the beauty and Theo teased her each time he pushed her forward as if he wanted to throw her down."Stop it!." She yelped and hit him continuously but he chuckled.However, their tranquility was

We needed to strengthen our defenses and prepare for the upcoming attack.

    *Theo's POV*The night air was cool and crisp. I had decided to confess my feelings to Sarah tonight. It was the perfect time and perfect place. Tyler had given me advice earlier that day,"Just look into her eyes, hold her hands and let it flow."Sounds easier said than done.She had gone to wear a overcoat because of the cold weather so I tried practicing the lines I had come up with it."Sarah…oh no no no..Uhum. Sarah, I just want to tell you that you're the best person I've ever met in a…no no no! Too generic." I slapped my forehead. At this point, I'd just swallow myself."What's the matter?" I looked back and it was Sarah standing. Shit.She came to sit back beside me, "Why were you talking to yourself?""No, no, I wasn't …just trying to remember something." I said nervously."Trying to remember what?" She raised an eyebrow."Something."She laughed, "You're funny sometimes."The moon hung overhead like a shimmering pearl in the dark sky, casting a soft glow on Sarah's radiant f

Tyler had trained more warriors whilst my father and the elders planned how the impending war would play out to our favour.

"Sir, we need to talk," He said, his voice steady but hued with nervousness.He looked up at him, "Oh Theo. I've told you to call me Tyler. There's no need to be formal. Come on sit."Theo did so. "Sorry, just used to calling you sir.""You're a friend to Lily, so you're a friend to me too." They shook hands."What is it?""Earlier today, I and some other pack hunters went out for a patrol and I decided to go farther to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. I saw a group of vampires and overheard them talking about an impending attack they were planning," I explained. "I know you have a lot on your plate, but I couldn't keep this information to myself.
