Chapter SixFirst Person’s Perspective CarlosI pushed open the workshop door, the familiar smell of oil and metal hitting me like a wave. My body ached from the day’s work, my hands coated in grease and grime, and my mind kept drifting back to Sasha.But I shook my head, trying to focus on the present.Allen ran to me, his small arms wrapping around my leg.“Daddy! Can we play before dinner?” he asked, his wide eyes full of hope.I knelt down and ruffled his hair.“Sure, buddy, we can. But first, dinner, okay?”He pouted but nodded reluctantly.It was hard being a kid in a broken home, and I was painfully aware of the gap I could never fully bridge on my own.The front door clicked open, and a familiar, unnerving scent hit me.Alcohol. And something else,another man’s cologne.“Finally!” Saraya’s voice slurred slightly as she stepped in, one heel clicking loudly on the wooden floor. She swayed just a little, brushing past Allen without a glance.I straightened immediately.“Saraya…

Chapter FiveFirst Person’s Perspective Carlos“Daddy! Who is that nice lady?” My son, Allen asked I glanced at the direction she left through one more time and turned to him. “Um…” “Do you know her?” I didn’t even know what to tell him ‘Yes, she used to be my wife but I chased her away for someone else’?“I dont think I know her son” came my very lame response. But I was dealing with a six years old here, he wouldn’t push right?Wrong“But you called out to her severally. If you didn’t know her….”“Buddy, you heard her when she said she didn’t remember me right? She does look like someone I used to know, but she’s not… now let’s go home, it’s almost time for your swimming practice “ he nodded reluctantly I tried to busy myself the rest of the day, maybe then the thoughts of her would leave my head, but I was sorely mistaken I saw her face in everything I did, I couldn’t concentrate in anything else at allEven when I decided to take a nap, I dreamt of her “Sorry, Do I Know You

Chapter Four - First Person’s Perspective - ~Amanda~ I walked away from Carlos with a smirk forming at the corners my lips, taking in every second of the encounter with delight and satisfaction. The confusion in his eyes, the hint of regret flashing across his face, the hurt he couldn’t quite mask—it was everything I wanted. No, everything I needed. The power I felt in that moment was intoxicating. I had envisioned this scene for years, rehearsed it in my mind countless times. Matter of fact, That’s why I went into that mall. It wasn’t a coincidence. He was my very target. I wanted him to see me, to feel my presence, to be haunted by the possibility that I wasn’t just a ghost from his past. And when I looked into his eyes, it was worth every second. I just knew I had made the right decision coming back here “Do I know you?” I had asked, feigning innocence, enjoying the way he stumbled over his words. The perfect performance and I deserved an Oscar for it The smirk faded as I t

Chapter Three- *First Person's Perspective* ~Amanda~ "She looks..." "I'm glad we..." I heard voices, faint and distant. Muffled, like whispers. I rolled on my sides, my eyes still shut, the scorching pain radiating in my head, stirs a feeling of hopelessness in me I try to remember how I had gotten into this situation in the first place, but my head is blank. Nothing comes up. "Maleek, her fingers shook, I think she's awake" I hear a voice say, this time it's clearer and I can hear it just beside me, I peeled my eyes open. Though my sight is blurry, I still take in my surroundings. Two pairs of eyes are staring down at me with a mixture of curiosity and concern I rise up from the bed, turning my head around, "where is this place?" I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper I struggled to sit up, my vision still blurry, but I saw two figures standing beside me. The first thing I noticed were their eyes, full of concern, and something else... curiosity? They looked at me lik

Chapter Two-*First Person's Perspective*~Amanda~The soft beeping of the monitor beside me was enough to pull me out of Dreamland, I turned my head to the opposite direction, and groggily opened my eyes. The throbbing pain in my head, a reminder of the nightmare I had come to face yesterday. My body jolted upright the moment I remembered why I was here in the first place. "Hey, Amanda. You're awake" Emily's soft voice said, her hands gently pressing on my shoulders to ease me back down . "What happened?" I asked, tightly grabbing on her hand, "What happened to my baby? Is he okay? Is he alright?" My voice shook and Emily's calm expression faltered for a moment Emily was Carlo's little sister. And even though she was just sixteen years old, she was still my very good friend, she understood me very much "I'm sorry, Amanda, I'm sorry, but he didn't make it" she turned her gaze away and I could see her struggling to hold back her tears. I went numb for a few seconds, and then everyth

Chapter One*First Person's Perspective*~Amanda~I walked out of the hospital, my heart filled with joy. I couldn't wait to inform Carlos that he was about to become the newest father in town. I had been waiting for this news, since the past five years of my marriage. I felt really nervous as I pulled up in the driveway, thinking about the reaction I would get from him.A small smile appeared on the corners of my lips as I imagined the smile on his face when I dropped the news.My mind was preoccupied with the different ways that I could drop the news to him, maybe over a special dinner? That sounds just right. However, as I walked into our not so big, but decent apartment, I heard voices, soft little whispers and laughter, coming from the direction of our bedroom, this made my brows creased in confusion. No one was supposed to be home at this hourI walked up the staircase in hurried footsteps. When I approached the door, I began to tiptoe to avoid attention from the burglarsI pres

Chapter Forty ThreeFirst Person’s Perspective Serena *Into Human Territory*I waited until Liam slept deeply before I movedMy legs still hurt from all thr running, and my arms felt weak from carrying him, but I didn’t have a choice. We couldn’t stay in that broken cabin, it wasn’t a safe place at all, and If the guards found us, they would kill both of us on sightThe moon was high when I picked Liam up again. His head rested on my shoulder, he wasn’t aware but stillI whispered to his ear anyway“We’re leaving, baby, just hang in there a while”I stepped out of the cabin slowly. The night air was cold, colder than before, like it was warning me. My heart beat too fast, but I kept walking. Every crack of a branch made me jump. Every shadow felt like someone following usBut there was no time to be scaredI had to get my son away from werewolf land, because due to this shift of his at an early age, will cause people to hunt him down, some might try to kill him… others might try to e

Chapter Forty Two First Person’s Perspective Serena *Chaos & Escape* The moment Reed’s head tilted forwad, everything broke Someone screamed, Someone vomited. A few guards stepped back like they had seen a demon. I was frozen behind the stone pillar, my whole body shaking. Even after everything Reed had done… I didn’t think he deserved that. My chest hurt so much I could barely breathe You would think that is the worse part huh? Wrong Liam, my little boy, started trembling on the ground “No… no, no, Liam, stay still,” I whispered, reaching toward him But before my hand even touched his arm, his bones started cracking. His body stretched in ways that weren’t normal and then he let out a sound, half cry, half growl, before I could decipher what was happening, a huge wolf stood where my son had been Not a tiny wolf, not a pup, but a full sized wolf, twice the size any child should be able to shift into And his eyes… they were glowing gold Everyone saw it “Kil

Chapter Forty One Third Person’s Perspective The morning sky was grey. Thick clouds covered the sun, turning everything dark and heavy. It felt like the world already knew something terrible was going to happen.Two guards dragged Reed into the open yard. His feet scraped against the rough ground. His wrists were tied behind him, bleeding from the tight ropes. His face was bruised, his lip split, but his eyes—though tired—still burned with anger.Serena stood in the corner, her own hands bound. Her knees were shaking. She kept whispering over and over“Reed… Reed please stand… please…” Even after the betrayal, even though he felt them a burden, she didn’t want him dead, he was still the father of her child Jake walked out first, wiping his gloves slowly, like he enjoyed every second. Robert followed behind him with six more guards surrounding him.Robert looked at Reed with a cold smile.“Today we end this lie,” he said. “And you will die knowing you are nothing.”Jake stepped forw

Chapter FortySerenaThe room was cold. The stone walls made it worse. My hands were tied behind my back, and my arms ached. Jake had transferred my room since I refused to be cooperative with him. Liam was not with me. That hurt the most. I did not know if he was safe, if he was eating, if he was crying for me. My chest felt like someone had pressed a stone on it.I wanted to cry, but I pressed my lips together. Crying would not help. I told myself that again and again. Crying would not help.The door opened with a loud sound. My head turned quickly.Jake walked in first. His steps were slow, proud, like he owned the place. Robert followed him. Both of them were smiling. Their smiles made me sick.Jake looked at me the way a cat looks at a trapped bird.“Serena,” he said slowly, like my name was a joke on his tongue. “I want to show you something.”Robert put a small screen on the table in front of me. I frowned. My stomach tightened.The screen came alive.At first, I thought it was

Chapter Thirty Nine First Person Perspective Jake I was sitting on the big chair near the fire. Alpha Robert was beside me. He was drinking from his silver cup, laughing. I laughed too. His guards stood by the door, silent. The room was warm, and outside it was dark and cold. “You saw his face?” Alpha Robert said with a loud laugh. “He looked like a scared rabbit!” I laughed harder. “He really thought he could escape!” We clinked our cups together. It was fun to watch that fool try to run with his little family. He didn’t even make it far. He got caught right at the edge of the forest. Robert shook his head, grinning. “And did you see the look on the Serena’s face? That was—” “Priceless!” I finished for him. We both laughed again. It felt good. I hadn’t laughed like this in days. But then something started to bother me. I rubbed my chin and looked into the fire. “Hmm…” I said. “What?” Robert asked. I sat up straighter. “That man… Jeremy… something is not ri

Chapter Thirty Eight First Person’s Perspective Reed I sat in the corner of my dark, cold cell. The floor was hard under me. The walls smelled like mold and old water. The air was damp. My body still hurt. My back burned from the whip. Every move made it worse. My hands were full of cuts and dried blood. But I did not care. Serena and Liam were alive. Caleb said they were near the north border. That meant I had a chance. A real chance. I could get them back. I could hold my son again. I could tell Serena that I never gave up. I closed my eyes. Just two more nights. Then I run. Then I fight. Then I take them back. No matter what happens. I don’t care if I die. I opened my eyes and looked at the food in front of me. Old bread. Cold meat. It smelled bad. Like it had been there for days. I didn’t eat it. I needed to stay sharp. If I got sick now, I would lose everything. I pushed the plate away. The next day, I acted weak. I walked slowly. I let my shoulders hang

I asked as I put my hands forward, trying to find my way in the dark'Why did the whole place suddenly turn dark? What had happened, and why can't I hear anyone?' I asked myselfSuddenly, it was bright again, the so beautiful city was turned to the opposite, that I almost didn't recognize itThe soil was turned from brown to black as though it was bombed. The tall beautiful skyscrapers, the huge ferris wheel that I had been admiring from a distance, were no longer there, they all collapsed as though they never existed.
