My lips tilted into a frown as I stared at the dress that Liza was currently flaunting in front of my face.
"Is that for me?" I pointed in a dumb stupor.
The grin on Liza's retched face widened as she shook the dress in her hands excitedly, "Of course it's for you! Why else would I bother to show you bitch!?"
I snorted and turned back to ransack my suitcase that was stuffed with my clothes, "I'm not wearing that! The fuck do I look like to you, a hooker?"
"Oh c'mon, a lot of girls wear these kinda dresses."
"Good for them. They can actually trust those thin ass dresses. With my luck, it'll tear, and I'll end up showing all my lady bits."
Unknown POVHave you ever been in a situation where you found yourself drowning in the endless ocean you call your nightmares? Every single night. They make your heart race, your palms sweaty and they sucked the air out of your lungs to the point where you sometimes woke up and found that you couldn't breathe. Then you began to panic because you're desperate for air, but none is coming because your mind suddenly shut down on you and suddenly you don't remember how to breathe.Then while you're there gasping for breath, your mind began to get hazy, vision darkening and limbs twitching as your heart pounded painfully in your chest. Then in that brief moment where it finally hits you that you're about to die, you accept that fact and then everything becomes calm again.
Your best friend is like a drug. They tempt you with ideas and trick you into forgetting about the consequences, influencing your mind, and rooting devious schemes into every action made.Or at least that was how I described my best friend. She was a wild and to my horror adventurous girl. She pushed me against my limits and made me experience the joys of life even though I would much rather stay at home, buried deep under my silky sheets with my phone screen marking the words 'Wattpad'.I never found interest in many things in my life. I was happy enough to say I at least had a favourite colour, not much else interested me.Especially the outdoors.But that of course didn't stop Liza from dragging me out of bed on a bright Saturday morning and forcing me into some hiking gear she bought.Her words that morning would forever circulate in my mind like an overbearing song that just wouldn't stop playing."We're going hiking to see the garden o
All my thoughts froze in total disbelief as my heart got poked with little pins of annoyance. I should have expected this. The urge to face palm was so hard right now but I resisted and instead turned to scowl at the idiot. "You're saying this is illegal and that we can potentially get killed in the process?" My voice sliced through the amusement on her face and caused her to chuckle nervously as she stared at my raging eyes.
Among the many trees and shrubs, there stood many statues of both wolves and people...which took me by surprise because I thought it was only going to be wolf statues.Old vines clung to the statues as tree roots sprung from the ground and staked their claim around the foot of the statues. The area was strangely silent. No rustle of trees, no sightings of birds or the sound of any wildlife anywhere. It was as if the place was barren from all life except the lingering vegetation.Liza moved from beside me in awe and started trekking
Meanwhile.... back at the garden...Axil collapsed onto the ground with a groan. His body aching as if something heavy was pressed down on him, which technically it was since he was buried under stone for such a long time. His limbs were throbbing, weak and defenceless. He laid his paws out in front of him and cuddled with the ground, panting in exhaustion.He was free.He inha
The ride home took about half an hour. Liza and I sat in the car in tense silence, Liza probably contemplating on what we should do next. I already knew the answer to that though.We were going to get the hell out of town.As she pulled into the driveway of our little two-story house, I quickly jumped out of the car before she even managed to park properly.I wasted no time.I quickly entered th
"Liza!"With my heart stuck in my throat, I quickly left my bedroom and headed straight towards Liza's room.She didn't answer, which was justified considering the fight we just had but that was the least of my concerns at this point.I quickly opened her bedroom door and strayed my eyes across her baby blue walls before my eyes locked onto her, lying on her bed with a cup of yogurt in her hands.She gla
"Hell no!" The words slipped out of my mouth before I could think it through, causing me to wince at how aggressive my voice sounded. I cuddled Liza to my chest and hauled her up into my arms, grunting at the heavy weight that she put on my shoulders. "She'd probably kill me if I let a naked man beast lift her defenceless body off the ground," I mumbled as I dragged Liza through the door and left the man behind, my priorities shifting from dealing with a threat to making sure that Liza was safely laying down on our sofa, in the living room. As soon as I touched the dark grey loveseat, I dumped Liza's body onto it, exhaling sharply and rolling my shoulders to ease the discomfort from having Liza there. "Why did you free me? " A voice came up from behind me. I turned around and saw that the man followed me into the house, standing in my doorway with his intense brown eyes staring right at me. It was hard for me to focus with him being na

I winced as the sound of breaking bones sounded out through the busy clearing. Someone was shifting. Snarls and growls began to sound out as the moon grew higher in the sky, glistening teasingly down on its targets. I couldn't bare to watch as a few hands and legs bent and twisted in ways I didn't even know could be twisted. One by one, the people who were new to their wolf sides were the ones shifting first. A few began to fight with each other as they got more aggressive and blood thirsty. Chunks of fur and flesh were ripped out as whines and growls sounded and yet the saner members did nothing but save all those who were on the brink of death. I couldn't bare to watch and yet I forced myself to, taking in the gore in order to familiarize myself with the sight. My face however was already deathly pale as my stomach churned in disgust. Was being here doing any difference? All we did was stand on the podium as they went wild below us, not bothering to
It's time. The sky was beginning to darken. Crowds of people kept piling into the square as the full moon began peeking through the clouds. Tension hung high in the air as everyone eyed each other anxiously. There were already a few people who had their eyes glowing, and nails lengthened. Everyone was on edge. The effect of the full moon was already beginning. I glanced at Axil and the others, who stood with Liza and I on the podium, and noticed the indifferent looks that blanketed their faces. It was like they weren't affected at all. Axil met my gaze and asked over our link, "Are you sure you want to stay for this? It won't be pretty." I nodded my head firmly, "I have to be inside of the barrier for it to show its full effects. Don't worry, I can protect myself and Liza." A growl sounded out from below us and I turned my head to the crowd, startled. A man was crouched slightly, eyes glowing and canines glistening threateningly as he gr
Unknown POV I calmed my breathing as best as I could and allowed myself to relax, forcing the tension from my shoulders and sitting Lotus style across the cold wooden floor. I felt the flow of energy around me, opening my pores and absorbing little droplets of that energy into my body. I had to be extra careful not to absorb more than my body could handle. This was a dangerous method on my part. I was using the world's natural substance to strengthen myself and allow me to peer further into my mind in hopes of connecting to her again. I could remember that moment vividly. The connection had appeared out of nowhere that it had startled me. All I felt was her overwhelming fear and her lack of confidence as images of our coven's destruction flitted through both of our minds. Those memories, however, weren't mine. I didn't know how we did it, but I somehow managed to gain control of her body to help her through her fight but the connection didn't last
Did I hear that right?"Excuse me?" I asked.The woman glanced at Axil and then back at me with anger filled eyes as she continued, "How can we trust your bond with our Alpha? We were literally just told you witches can take possession of another person's body."I snorted and crossed my arms. Her blatant hostility was showing, and I wasn't the one to simply take that laying down."That spell is forbidden amongst our kind. What Tiana's husband did was basically overextending his life. He will suffer from the consequences when the time comes. Not only that, but Tiana and her husband are both dark witches while I am not. Don't be stupid; a bond as pure as a soul mate could never be replicated even by magic. It's a gift from a God, not a plaything."Again, she glanced at Axil, "that still doesn't answer how you're qualified for this position."I frowned at her wandering gaze and then shot a glance at Axil curiously. He met my gaze with steady eyes and shook
Another 10 minutes passed before Axil's voice sounded out. "Let's begin," he said, his voice firm as he and Abel finally turned towards the people below us. Although his voice wasn't loud, with their supernatural hearing, it scattered over every inch of the clearing and caused all the chatter to slowly fade as everyone diverted their attention to us. Axil then began his speech: "A lot has changed. Some of you found out that you were wolves; some regained their memories of being a werewolf, some realized this wasn't originally a human settlement while the others were finally freed from Tiana's curse. These past few weeks have been chaotic for everyone, and we've tried our best to accommodate your needs and to help you settle into this new reality that you've found yourselves thrust into. By now, I'm sure many of you have had your questions answered and have been informed of what happened to us in the past that brought us here today, fractured and barely hanging on, but
The meeting today was being held in the town's square. That was the only area large enough to hold thousands of people and so we made sure to organize the event carefully, placing a barricade around the square and taking count of everyone who entered through the gates. We had the cops patrolling the area and keeping things in order as many people began to filter in and out, waiting for the meeting to start. The air was ripe with chatter as I awkwardly stood upon the small podium with Axil, Abel, Liza, Dawson, and a few others. Axil and Abel were conversing with a muscular man that stood tall like a giant, towering over even their 7-foot height. When I had first met him, I was so startled I almost stumbled on my face. The dude looked like a bald head version of the hulk. Maybe that was an exaggeration. A bodybuilder would be a better description. I thought Abel was ripped but then this guy probably soaked every inch of his body in muscles. It made me wonder h
What the hell? I waved a hand at the door, unlocking it and watching as it was pushed open by a very angry Liza. I gazed at her in confusion. "What happened?" Liza bristled as she began pacing the entire office, mumbling furiously under her breath. "Liza?" I asked. She suddenly stopped and turned to Axil, pointing her finger at him accusingly, "Why are you wolves so infuriating!?" Axil raised an amused eyebrow at her, seeming as though he knew why she was bristling, but he didn't say a word. Liza began pacing again. I frowned and narrowed my eyes at the grumbling woman, "Ayo, Patrick." She turned to glare at me, "Who're you calling Patrick, Garfield?" "You gonna tell me why you pacing or you finna let me kick you out so I can get back to work?" Liza snorted, "I doubt you did much work." "I did more than you have!" "Whatever. I'm upset! Bea is adorable and all, and I love hanging out with her, but her father is a c
