"Oh." I said before I managed to stop myself.
Our gaze broke off as Liza burst out laughing from beside me, turning my burning face to her as embarrassment grabbed a hold of me.
She pointed a finger at me and laughed, "I told you so!"
I brushed her aside and cleared my throat, taking a sip of my orange juice to pretend I wasn't shocked silly by Axil's fresh appearance.
Luckily, we didn't run into any peeking toms on our walk back home. Probably because we were more focused on getting home rather than observing the neighbourhood.I didn't know what it was that I was feeling in that very moment, but my heart was twisted in knots as a sense of deja vu came over me. What was going on?I wasn't able to breath a sigh of relief until we entered our house and closed the door shut.As soon as we got inside, Liza turned to the both of us with expectant eyes.
"Where am I?" I whispered in awe, staring up at the strange sky as the purple stars glistened and pulsed brightly with light. I glanced down at my body to see that I was dressed in a plain white dress that snuggled with my chest then flared out at my waist and ended just a little above my knees. My feet were bare as they stood on nothing in particular. Nothing in particular... My eyes widened as I realized that I was standing on air even though beneath me felt solid. I bent over slightly to look beneath me, seeing the same blank canvas that glittered with stars. It was everywhere, surrounding me.... calling to me... I looked ahead of me and took a cautious step forward, my stomach dropping at the thought of falling through mid air. My feet landed on solid ground and a sigh of relief escaped my lips. What was this place? I stretched out my hands towards the stars, but they were so far away from me. Every step that I took didn't seem to
When I woke up, it was morning again. I slept through the rest of yesterday. Of course I would. It's been forever since I've used that much magic in just two days. My magic was rusty, and I was basically still a newbie to all of it.I checked my phone to see that I got a message from my mother, simply wishing me a good morning. I quickly responded with a good morning as well before opening up Wattpad.Maybe a quick read would comfort me before I have to dive back into the madness known as my life.I relaxed into my pillow and opened the book I was currently reading, 'The girl he never noticed'."Ezzy!"I winced as my name was heard. You've got to be kidding me."Ezzy!" Liza burst through my bedroom door, a piece of bread hanging from her mouth.I shot her an exasperated look, "what is it?"Liza chuckled, "you slept for so long and you're still grumpy? You weirdo, I have school in an hour."I raised an eyebrow, "So?"
....huh?Mates?Why would he ask me that?I furrowed my brows in confusion but answered nonetheless, "I'm a bit conflicted on that particular topic to be honest. I love the thought of two souls coming together as one and living happily ever after without the conflict of cheating, dishonesty, and selfishness but on the other hand, in the world we live in, that ideal is so unrealistic an
"Know them? Know them as in...?" Liza trailed off. Axil's excited eyes glanced up at us, "these are my people. I remember them as if it was just yesterday! That's Lizzy and Danny, Justin. Lizzy and Justin were mates. We all used to hang out with each other when we were pups and h-" "Wait wait wait," I interrupted, my mind trying to keep up with all the confusing pieces of information, "so the founders of this human settlement were all werewolves? How the hell does that work?" Axil furrowed his brows as he considered my question, "I can't understand why they would create a human settlement either and if they did, what happened back then and why weren't they turned to stone as well?" "Maybe they betrayed you?" I voiced. Axil shook his head, "they would never. I know them like I would my own siblings, they'd never betray our pack." "So, what if this is still a werewolf territory but the werewolves are being kept hidden away somewhere?" Li
I groaned as my eyes blinked open against the bright light that shone in my face.My brows furrowed in confusion as I shielded my gaze, only for the light to move away from my face.I squinted up at the source."...."It wa
The deputy officer's face was a mask of indifference as his eyes scanned the entire room. What was most shocking was his striking resemblance to Axil....I glanced up at Axil's face to see his wide eyes staring at the man in disbelief. His hand twitched slightly in mine, as if wanting to move. I squeezed his hand reassuringly and pulled him closer against me, letting him know that this wasn't the time or place to act reckless."The mayor has a death penalty out against the Franchild sisters. Until we find their bodies, no
"Mmm." I mumbled nonsense beneath my breath as my body unconsciously shifted on the hard dirty ground.Pebbles and dirt rubbed roughly against my skin, causing my face to scrunch up in annoyance.My eyes fluttered open reluctantly, greeting the dark clearing I was laying in.The fire that we started was close to burning out and Liza and I were sprawled out beside it without a c
