251. Blanks

CallistaI lie on the bed, bored out of my mind. Although Xaveraq told me that he'd bring something to alleviate my boredom, he doesn't bring it up again nor does he bring me anything other than food. And with the lack of things to do with my hands, my mind turns to the new information I'd learned regarding my legacy. Lucienne was real. My mother was a stealer. My father abandoned us. My mother died of suicide after leaving me at the Leighwen pack. Everything makes sense.All the blanks I've tried to fill in my childhood about my parents were now filled with blood-red ink. My heart aches for my mother, this woman who I didn't really know, but had loved me enough to sacrifice her life and freedom for me so that I'd have a chance to live.Oh, how I wish I remembered her face or at least her touch. How I wish I remembered her voice. Her love. A great sadness, unlike anything I'd ever felt before, envelopes me as I mourn the mother I never knew. I also wonder about my father, the

252. Edwin

CallistaI cry out as the devil hurls me towards the Teller pack's new Alpha. Before I could face plant on the grass, Edwin watched me with a painful, meaty fist. “What a weakling,” he sneers, jerking my body so I'm looking up at him. His expression is marred with disgust. “All of this trouble for a wolf who can't even stand without help.”I squirm in his arms, glaring at him.“What do you want from me, bear?” I demand through gritted teeth. “Yet another sacrifice?”“Oh, no, the time for sacrifice is over,” he replies. “You had the chance to die peacefully the last time, but you chose not to.”“For fuck's sake, I didn't choose anything!” I yell. “You made all my choices for me, and that came back to bite your collective asses! Don't you know the saying? You don't mess with a single wolf unless you're ready to face a pack!”Also, where the hell is the devil? He'd just vanished, leaving me to deal with all of this myself. Didn't he sprout some bullshit about not letting anyone else tou

253. Bird

Theon“Stop!” Master Tsertinand orders us, and we come to a stop. “We're here.”In front of us is the thick forest, stretching into the beyond. We've been walking for three hours straight because apparently, Master Tsertinand had gotten his estimations wrong, and the barrier was farther than we anticipated. We'd climbed over a mountain and scaled it down, very careful not to stumble and fall on the snow and crags.We were not ready for mountain climbing and the witches had to use magic to ensure that none of us tumbled off a ledge and fell to their death.After the mountain, we'd come across some sort of a river borough that was not frozen over. By now the witches were exhausted from using magic, so we couldn't just float above the river. We had to cross the icy, fast-flowing water, and by the end of it, my legs were numb.Werewolves could only tolerate lower temperatures so much. When we're dunked into ice water, we were bound to freeze as humans did. The witches were no better.Mas

254. Invisible

Theon“Well,” I say as I sit on the bed.The devil is invisible again, but I can feel his presence hovering just below the ceiling, watching me. It's been a few minutes since the altercation outside ended with the devil literally getting me out of it. I can still hear the commotion outside, the pack demanding my death.“That happened.”“That fool,” the devil rumbles, unhappiness radiation off his voice. “He should've known that getting the people riled up in that manner without giving them what they were promised would only end in a commotion. Werebears are the thickest, stupidest creatures to exist in this world. I prefer your kind over them, to be honest.”“Gee, thanks,” I mutter back, my nerves still shot from the incident.I do not think I'd be able to rest easy anytime soon. Now I'm going to have to spend the rest of my time here knowing that there was a pack of bears waiting outside thirsting for my blood. And wanted my bones to be hung up. Who even says such things anymore?“W

255. Absorb

Callista“Holy shit, you're the one behind the earthquake too?!” I yell out, unable to believe what I'm hearing.I expected him to reveal a lot of things, but this was not one of them.“I did not mean to. I was never a fan of causing an unnecessary ruckus, and the earthquake did exactly that. It even sapped up some of my own powers in doing so, that I had to absorb more souls to compensate,” Xaveraq says. “Anyway, after that-”“Woah, Woah, Woah,” I stand up from my bed, my heart beating fast in my chest.I'm trying to piece together this puzzle in my head with all the information I'm being given. That part of absorbing souls, whatever that may be, rings a bell in my mind.A very disturbing bell.“So, where did you get your souls?” I demand.“Is that really important at the moment, Callista?” Xaveraq questions in a bored tone. “I thought you wanted to know how I found you.”“Tell me where you got the souls from,” I insist, feeling dread mount within me.I desperately hope he would not

256. Hiding

Theon“We saw a dirt path,” I reply as soon as I transform back to the human form from behind a boulder, using it to hide my nudity. “It's just a moment away from here. There are rocks all around so we can have a cover.”“A dirt path?” Master Tsertinand questions and send the ring a dirty look. “Couldn't have shown me that, could you, you little shit? We're trying to save your damned owner!”The ring, of course, does not answer. “We nearly ran into the barrier when we saw it,” Haden chimes in next to me, having transformed back himself. “Your bird was a great help.”As we say that, the bird itself arrives, chirping. It spirals around us, nearly touching us, and then flies straight towards Master Tsertinand. As soon as it collides with the weapon smith's body, it vanishes. “Did you call the Headmistress?” I question, pulling on my clothes.They're at the same spot I left them. Master Tsertinand was right when he said that the perimeter was smaller than that of the Rexellen pack. It o

257. Clan

Theon“Where's Aldar?” Master Tsertinand asks, making way for the Headmistress to approach the camp.She's dressed unlike I've ever seen her before. The Headmistress usually opts for long dresses and cloaks that look gothic and ancient.But now she's dressed in a costume similar to what the protectors like Kiran wore while they were in the Guild, although it is pure white in color. The protector outfit suits her significantly, making it easier for her to blend with the surroundings and accentuate her strong frame.Her hair is tied back from her face in a severe style, highlighting her angular features. She wears rings studded with stones on all of her fingers, and a stone pendant around her neck. “She had to stay behind to take care of the Guild in my absence,” the Headmistress replies, smiling at all of us in greeting. “The Academy is very busy at this time of the year with the first years getting ready for the Annual festival. Matron Aldar and I can't afford to leave together at su

258. Deviless

Theon“Now, the deviless, who'd been raised apart from her parents because she was blessed as a deity, didn't know what love even was,” the Headmistress continues. “It was a different time than ours, and back then, even language was at its infancy. Books were not invented yet. When she asked her servants about the strange emotion she felt whenever she saw the devil they wouldn't give her a straight answer. The servants were certain that the deviless couldn't feel love the way the normal folk did. The poor deviless was confused about herself and decided to ask the young devil warrior for answers herself.”The Headmistress pauses to glance at the barrier, and then turns back to us. It's nearly midnight now, and fortunately, we haven't had any animals wander into the campsite so far. We heard some chirping and rustling here and there, but it was nothing big.My bet was that they were rabbits or squirrels, or some other critters that size. Haden and I were alert, nevertheless, just in cas

259. Murderer

CallistaI can't sleep. I anticipated this before. Although the unrest outside had dwindled, I was still alert and wide awake, listening to every little sound. I'm pretty sure it's past midnight at the moment.I'm not a stranger to insomnia, but after having some good nights of sleeping blissfully before this whole fiasco started with Farris taking over the Rexellen pack, my old sleeping habits were making an appearance. The information the devil revealed today doesn't help me either. I still can't wrap my head around all of it.Of all the things to happen to me, I never expected that I'd end up a prisoner to an ancient being who killed thousands just because he wanted to ‘unify all races to save the world’. I mean, come on, that sounds like the plot of an action-packed Hollywood movie. And certainly not one with the supernatural in it. But that is the reality I'm living in. Both the earthquake and the Geraldine pack were his doing. How could he be so callous? So emotionless abou

260. Crimes

CallistaI rush to the window of my room, thankful that the chain is long enough to allow me the movement, and throw open the windows. There is an army of werebears, both turned and in human form, surrounding the house, facing the forest from the east.Near the tree line stands a woman dressed in the white garb of the witches, flowing pants tucked into her boots, a white tunic over a long-sleeved bodice with a sash tied around her waist, and a scarf wound around her neck. Her snow-white hair is tied back from her face, and her pale eyes glisten with an ethereal light.She stands in a posture that radiates power, her head held high, her spine straight, standing tall against an army of bears.I can't help my astonishment. The Headmistress is here!Her eyes flick upwards to the window and focus on my face. They widen slightly, and I can't help but wave like a lunatic and scream, “I'm here! I'm here!”The Headmistress gives me the smallest nod, visible relief in her eyes.“You are the He
