Lucille was confused. Seeing Sheila's current state of shock was a bit confounding. What was the matter? She thought, reviewing the dream that she had just had, correlating it with her words, to see if she had made a mistake in her recantation or had mentioned something wrong. But tried as hard as she may, she couldn't pin point anything that should leave her mother this way. Unless...she thought and looked up at Sheila, her eyebrows furrowed; unless the dream really meant something, and her mother happened to know what it means. The more she reasoned it this way, the more it made sense. Her mother knew what her dream meant, a meaning that must be shocking."Mom..." She started, wanting to ask about the dream's interpretation, but Sheila as if knowing what her daughter wanted to ask, stood up quickly from the bed, and stalked to the door, without looking back."Eat up your food first. We can always talk later." She said, before leaving the room.Lucille sighed, watching her mother sca
Lucille stared at her mother after the latter had proposed to tell a story if she would just calm down, and sighed. She took in a deep breath before sitting down on the bed again, curiosity winning over her unbelief."Okay, I am ready." She said, clutching her palms together, so tightly that they began to sweat. Sheila soughed, and nodded. "Okay, my dear. Here it goes." "I am a werewolf, a hybrid actually. I am a werewolf and a witch." She started, and Lucille shot up from the bed again, her hand to her chest."Stop..." She mentioned. "Stop please..." She pleaded, not wanting the story to be true. She just wanted to be human. What was this all about now?"You are lying..." She said, even her guts believed the words of her mother. This was the truth, nothing else."Lucille, I understand that whatever I am saying now might be too much for you to handle, but I believe that it's necessary for you to know. From the dream you had, it is possible that the time is near. You can't afford to
Derek heard the first knock, the second and the third knock, but it didn't spur him out of his bed. He felt so weak and tired that movement would be a huge responsibility at the moment. He just wanted to stay on the bed, without being disturbed by anyone. He wanted to cry ever since last night, but the tears refused to come out, but his heart bled, his wolf has been silent too. He was alone in this misery. Perhaps, if he was an ordinary human, he would have thought of committing suicide. But he wasn't that. He was now an Alpha with a pack to run, and he had denied his mate for the sake of the same pack.Was it worth it? He thought, rolling to the other end of the bed, hoping for a way he could stop the pain in his heart, especially as he remembered the words of Emma last night. She had of course known that she was his mate, and she had gone ahead to reject him. But he didn't really blame her. He had denied her first, and not just privately, but in public. Who does that? He wondered, h
"He still didn't open the door right?" Melvina asked Anthony who was resting his back on the wall of the kitchen. By both of his sides were the other guys. Leo was with them now. He had joined them in the passageway when the had gone to check on Derek, and tell him the recent news about Claire and Curtis. But their newest Alpha hadn't opened the door. They had sauntered to the kitchen after that. Melvina was preparing some meal for lunch. And the girls weren't back yet."No, he didn't. I'm thinking of breaking down the door. We can always put up a new one later." Anthony cited, and Melvina shook her head."That won't be a good idea. Trust me. I think we should give him more time. Losing his mate is taking a toll on him. It wouldn't be easy." She stated, even as she stirred the yet to be meal in the pot."True though. Has anyone seen Esther?" Leo asked, thinning his eyebrows. He had been trying to get a hand on the witch, but it seemed that she didn't want to be found. He hadn't seen h
A smile slithered across Melvina's lips as she watched Derek stroll into the kitchen, with his two hands inside the pockets of his denim jeans. She had actually been expecting that he would take more time to recuperate emotionally, but it seemed that he will be fine. There was even an almost invisible smile on his lips. When she noted him walking to the kitchen counter, she smiled wider. Her son was hungry. She thought, even as she patted him on his arms, aware that the others in the kitchen were as astonished as she was."The food would be ready soon. You can try out some fruits in the refrigerator." She said, and he nodded, turning away from the cooking pot to the refrigerator.He opened it, and took out an apple. A bite into it, and he swirled around to face Anthony."As I was saying before, you had to do this for the pack. You don't have to go deep with her, thereby toying with her emotions. No, not at all. Just be a good friend with a good listening ear. I am sure that if she is
"Have you booked the flight yet?" Freya asked Emma and she nodded, her eyes unable to stop themselves from landing on Eva who was still sulking after she had learnt that she was travelling back home tomorrow morning."She really likes you. And she is going to miss you too." Freya said, following the train of Emma's eyes.Emma sighed, and looked away. She will miss the little angel too. But what could she do? She could never stay here. After all they had banished her from the community, so she couldn't even stay here. Her house was somehow included in the pack's territory, and she was beginning to wonder how and why. According to Maya, humans never lived here, and were never allowed to buy houses here. So, how had her father gotten this apartment? Maya had also mentioned the beautiful woman that had always lived here, Sheila. She remembered that the name was just the same name that Melvina had called on that first day that they had met. Maya and Melvina had both said that the woman loo
"Yodah, what did you say?" Freya asked, gulping down her saliva, her hands already shaking.Emma slipped her right hand over hers, even whilst wondering what was wrong, and who was Dobah.They both had been basking under an atmosphere of camaraderie when the younger vampire had spoken about a certain Dobah who was already searching for them, and was on his way here. Who was that? Another vampire? Perhaps a guardian?She wasn't sure, but she knew she would get answers."My father is on his way here. Mother too. I think they have tracked us down. Uncle Kane too. Although, Dad is complaining that uncle Kane is still underground... perhaps not used to walking under the sun with the aid of the ring. They are waiting till he gets up." Yodah mentioned.Emma could tell he was also nervous.Was his Dad that bad? She wondered, her eyes traveling the short distance to Aiden and Julius. The twins were not nervous, not at all. Another emotion was present on their faces. Surprise. Shock.Why was th
Kane heard his brother and his lifemate whispering right above him. They were a bit worried about his still sleepy state.But he has already woken up. It was just that his mind was in a bit of turmoil concerning the dream he had just had.A dream that when he had woken up, had his heart pounding so fast, with bloodred tears streaking his face and grief overwhelming him. He replayed the dream in his mind again.The Dream ( in present tense):A woman's despairing cry echoed in his soul, tearing at him, reprimanding him, drawing him back from the edge of a great precipice. And he was starving. Every cell in his body craved blood. He was somewhere, underground. The hunger raked at him with merciless claws until a red haze covered his sight and his pulse hammered with the need for immediate sustenance. Desperate, he scanned the area above his resting place for the presence of enemies and, finding none, burst through the rich layers of soil, into the air, his heart thundering in his ears,
