Instead of going to the bathroom as Ella originally planned, she went to a small patio in the back of the house. It’s facing the dark forest, beneath the gleaming light of the moon. Ella sat on the stainless steel chair and stared at the starry sky.
A bone-chilling howl erupted from the forest. Ella looked around while gripping the chair handle. She couldn’t believe wolves are living inside the dark forest. Ella snapped out of her thoughts when the door opened.
“Ella, why are you here?” Elisa asked her daughter. Ella looked at her and worriedly smiled. “Come inside, its cold out here,” she added. Ella nodded her head and followed her mother. The guests were nowhere to be found.
“Where are they?” she asked. Elisa slumped on the couch and started cleaning.
“They went home. Ronaldo said there was an emergency,” Elisa said. Ella glanced outside, the howl she heard won’t leave her mind. She clasped her hands together as tight as she can.
“What is it, dear?” Elisa asked, seeing her daughter’s uncomfortable expression. Ella shook her head and excused herself. She hurriedly went to her room and opened the window. She shivered when the cold wind blew but she remained staring at the forest. Ella wanted to hear the howl again, but the wolf didn’t howl again.
On the other hand, the new Alpha of the Blue Moon pack ran as fast as he can. His beta reported rogue sightings around the border.
“Fucking rogues! They dare trespassed on my land?” he growled. “Follow me, we will kill them all,” he said. His large brown wolf stood out among the others because of his distinct Alpha features. Blaze Matthew Reese ran, followed by the warriors behind him.
“They were already in Samson’s house.” The beta running alongside him said. The first ones to reinforce the Samsons family died. The rogues surely know their way around the pack. Blaze's mind linked everyone who was not with him, to stay alert of the surroundings. Samson’s house came into view with rogues circling around it.
Blaze instantly spotted the six rouges. The rouge positioned himself, ready to attack the Alpha. Blaze smirked at him. He lunged at Blaze, but he quickly dodged it and bit his neck. The rogue whimpered in pain. Blaze bit his neck hard, and he fell on the ground, dead. The other rouges snarled at the Blue Moon pack’s warriors. The beta known as Caleb attacked the rogues with the help of the warriors.
“Secure the area. Make sure the Samsons are safe,” Blaze ordered. The moon is full tonight. Blaze’s eyes glowed. The rogue who was desperately crawling on the ground began howling, but due to his damaged throat, it wasn’t enough to call for the ones outside the border. Blaze changed back to his human form and snap his neck.
“Where is the other one?” he asked as he glanced around the area. They were six of them but his wolf was telling him otherwise. His beta looked at him with confusion visible on his face.
“There’s only six of them, Alpha,” Caleb said, but Blaze shook his head.
“No, find the other one!” he yelled. The warriors scurried around and ran, searching for the rogues. Blaze glared at the dead bodies of rogues lying around the ground. A warrior handed him clothes and he easily put it on him.
“Blaze, I feel something,” his wolf said. Since earlier, Blaze felt his wolf becoming agitated. There’s something that tells him to go, but he doesn’t know where.
“What is it, Bas?” he asked. Bas was the name that her sister gave to his wolf when they were younger.
“I don’t know,” Bas answered and he fell into silence.
“Alpha, the Samsons are safe,” Caleb said. Blaze felt relieved, but because of this attack, three warriors are dead.
“How about the other rogue?” Blaze asked. Caleb who was now in his human form shook his head. It means that they were still tracking the one rogue that got away. Blaze nodded his head and marched back to the packhouse.
“Let’s go. Let Mark clean this up,” he said. Caleb followed him back. Blaze couldn’t help but sigh. As the new Alpha of the pack, the elders’ expectation to him was high. His father, Blake Reese, brought achievements and glory to the pack. Now, it’s his turn to do that.
“Are you going to class tomorrow?” Caleb asked when they entered the packhouse. Blaze slumped on the couch and caressed his head. His mother and father are on vacation right now while his twin sister was on Academia. It’s only him and his little brothers.
“Yeah, I need to. Tell Auntie to help me take care of the naughty kids,” he said. Caleb chuckled. His mother, Alice is the one that helps Blaze with his brothers.
“Then, I need to go,” Caleb said. “Oh, by the way. There’s a human girl that transferred to the University,” Caleb added. Blaze’s ears perked up. He only knows this when his father told him, but he didn’t know that they’d moved in today. Caleb left the packhouse while Blaze rested his back on the couch. He was tired. Running the whole pack by himself was too exhausting, but this is the duty he was born with. As the successor of the Blue Moon pack.
A sudden knock on the door woke Ella up. She rubbed her bleary eyes and glanced at the windows of her room. The sun has already risen and the birds were chirpings inside the forest.“Ella, you need to prepare for school now,”her mother said outside the room. Ella groaned and covered her face with a large pillow. The school was tiresome for her but she couldn’t ignore it. At the very least, she wanted to graduate and help her mother.“Ella, it’s your first day in your new school. It would be very bad if you’re late,”Elisa said an
Ella looked at the boy in front of him like he grew another head. She tilted her head and her frown deepened.“Excuse me?”she managed to say. Blaze stiffened and he cleared his throat.“Say sorry,”he said. Ella raised her eyebrow, confused, waiting for him to say another word."You don't understand?"Blaze smirked at her and leaned closer. Ella can already smell his minty breath. Being close to him makes her stomach churned and heart beats faster. She immediately took a step backward furthering their
On her fourth day at school, it became worst. Ella's plan to become invisible the whole year was gone. Every time she meets the students in the hall or the corridor, they greet her with all smiles. It frustrates her because she doesn't know why they are doing it."Ella!" Gwen shouted. Ella facepalmed, Gwyneth's annoying her again. For the past days, she was consistently following her around. Ella tried to be mean to her as much as she can, but Gwen won't budge."Let's go together. Classes were canceled," she happily said and clung on Ella's arm. "They said there's a program on the gymnasium today," Gwen added with a huge grin plastered on her face. Ella rolled her eyes inwardly. She woke up early to go to school, finding out there are no classes, her irritat
"Just stop it, Blaze!" she said, irritated. When Blaze wasn't in school, Ella had a peaceful life, but today her peaceful world is in turmoil again. When she entered the gate earlier, the first thing she saw was Blaze's annoying face."Admit it first, love," he said cheekily. Ella rolled her eyes while crossing her arms over her chest.
Ella woke up earlier than she expected. She lazily got up and went to the bathroom. She looked at the mirror that was on the inside and sighed. Dark circles were visible under her eyes. It was the result of having trouble sleeping at night. Ella stepped into the shower and let the water pour on her body. She closed her eyes and images of Blaze's face flashed through her mind."I'm going crazy," she muttered under her breath. Ella turned the dial off and stepped out, grabbing her towel
It’s been days since the kiss happened between Ella and Blaze at the clinic. Blaze didn’t give up and kept pursuing Ella. She was irritated at first and tried to avoid him, but now Ella got accustomed to Blaze following her around every day.“Blaze, stop!”Ella said and laughed, grabbing the dice away from Blaze&rsquo
Blaze hurriedly went home and slammed the door to his room, real hard. He cursed and punched the wall in front of him, repeatedly. If it wasn't for Caleb stopping him, Blaze could have gone to Ella. Caleb said to him that he knows Ella won't listen to any words he has to say."Stupid, Blaze!" Blaze's wolf angrily said. "I told you to dismiss that girl, but you still talk to her!" his wolf added. Blaze slumped on the ground while pulling his hair. "I know, bud. I'm sorry," Blaze said. The kiss caught Blaze off guard, but it didn't mean anything to him. Tracie – the girl who kissed her was just a little sister for him. Blaze doesn't love her nor likes her romantically. "Bl
Ella was walking quietly in the corridor of the school when she heard someone calling her name."Ms. Ella!" Ella looked back and saw a girl running towards her with a massive smile on her face. She huffed and stopped in front of her."Ms. Ella, Alpha Blaze wants to give you this," the girl said and handed her a paper. She politely bowed her head to Ella and walked away. Ella looked at her, confused, and decided to open the paper. She resumed walking while reading what's inside."Good morning, sweetie. Did you sleep well? I couldn't sleep a wink last night because I kept thinki
