The obvious place he could tell that Simon was coming out from was the woods. He didn’t think to link it to anything, but he perceived it had something to do with the issue on ground.
Both Luke and him continued to focus on Simon who eventually came up the stairs to join them on the balcony. All along, Simon had his hands intertwined together behind him like a master. Probably one of the trademarks that he possessed.
“What happened here, exactly? How did Adaliah even get to handle a door talk less of setting herself free? Did anyone among us decide to turn against the pack?” he wasted no time in throwing those questions at the bet. It was a bit offensive to be all up at the start of a convo, but now wasn’t the time to follow ethics.
“Unfortunately, I can’t answer any of what you are asking me. The reason being that there has been no progress on finding out the real situation in all of
I pant hard the minute I make my way out of whatever it was I went through. I have no clue as to what it was, except it was made up of rocks like the very same one I had gone through as an entrance. The place literally had no entrance, and if it hadn’t been for my ability to walk through things, then I wouldn’t have found my way into the place.The crazy part about it was the things I saw in there. There were items in the place that I would rather call a cave, which indicated that the place had been in use several times. Items like sheets, a pillow, and even a pink comforter were made evident. Even a spot that was most likely used as a fireplace. And to my utmost surprise, I discovered it was Monica’s haven.How did I round up to that? After accessing the cave-like place while looking for an exit which I didn’t get, I saw a family picture under one of the pillows. The picture was an old one due to the texture, and by
Not again. Not even at this crucial period. I did not need more than the growls and the foul odor emanating from the wolf to know it was a rogue. Saliva was dripping down the side of the mouth as it continued to growl at me and it was one way to know it wasn’t in its right senses.What was I even thinking when I decided to escape from where I was bound? That I would have it easy when I step foot outside? I should have known that leaving the territory of the Green Woods, which was probably the safest place for me at the moment, would expose me to harm's way. This rogue was probably the tip of the iceberg.I might have lost my abilities as a wolf, but the stench from the rogue was disgusting to me. I was at this point where I could puke my brain out but my self-control was helping in a lot of ways. I’m still surprised I was able to stand the stench when I still had my hyper senses.A realization hit me, and I h
“Garrett,”“Yes?”“Elder Damien is here.”Whatever Garrett had his focus on, he had to withdraw from as soon as he got informed of the new development. And just as he had been told, he did confirm it when he turned around to see a man in red and black shaded clothing approaching him and his best friend, Luke.The sight of the approaching man caused a change in his mood instantly. Rage took over him, an expression he has not exuded in a while, not even when he found out about his mate’s disappearance from where she was held bound.Turning to look at Luke who had his concentration on the man, he asked in a tone that failed to hide how he was feeling, “Who let him in?”“Who else but the guards?” Luke responded casually as if to tell him to see through the obvious.And that was
“Hmph,” I whimper, not just once, but three times. Right now, I couldn’t feel myself. I was sore all over with no idea how I came to be in this state. I can’t even say I was in my right senses as everything about my being was inexplicable. Or could I be dreaming?It took me a while to realize I was nothing close to being in the dreamland. My eyes were drooping as I try to force them open. It was becoming quite difficult a task that at one point I had to give up and let myself recuperate. Maybe by then, I would get a hang of my system.A few minutes later and I open my eyes wide to the fading day. The sky was grey and I could tell that in no time, the night would befall me.My arms felt heavy to lift and so were my legs. It prompted me to stay still on the ground, right in the middle of where I have no idea of. I could be lost for crying out loud. Or maybe right in the middle of something unpredict
The fall was heavy when I land in the river, with my whole body going deep below the surface. The struggle to stay afloat did not come any easy as I continued to go under. I think I might have forgotten that I have no idea how to swim before taking that jump. But there was no way I was going to give myself up to my pursuers in the first place.Little by little, the only thing that was in my sight and around me was nothing but water. For a moment, I thought I was going to drown to my death. My water intake has gotten to a limit and I was losing air in my lungs already. Until the unexpected happened.The miracle that sort of occurred was when my body began to take a course on its own. And when I say that, I mean my body started to go through a free flow that was leading me above water.I did not resist it. Neither did I let it overwhelm me. I did not have to wait too long before my head was finally above the surface. Insta
“If you think about it, the first place that she would run off to is her uncle’s. She remains something of a member to the Red Crescent pack, remember?” Luke uttered those words as he tried to keep up with the pace of the man in front of him.The man in particular, who was Garrett, seemed like he had no intention of slowing down. At that time they had made it out of the building they were in. Despite Garrett’s attitude, Luke had no choice but to keep on with the motion because he knew slowing down won’t help him meet up.“I know,” came Garrett’s quick response to Luke’s statement, “but you might not be seeing the bigger picture,”“What exactly do you mean?”That was when Garrett stopped walking, almost making Luke collide with him. It was unexpected but Luke’s wolf ability came in handy at the right time. 
Driving through the territory of the Red Crescent pack, they were met with a land area that was different from theirs which was the Green Woods pack. Unlike the greenery that came with the Green Woods territory, the Red Crescent pack stuck with a clear land area with the quarters being visible to all.The journey from the main entrance to where they were headed took about seven minutes but they arrived there soon enough. It was part of a safety reason that was why it did not bother Garrett one bit.Both men did the necessary and got down from the car to the main quarters of the packhouse, which he was sure was the ultimate attempt of his ex. It was a golden touch but he enjoyed every bit of it before settling himself in.They didn’t have to wait too long before they were joined by a man that Garrett seemed to recognize. And the recognition went beyond just sighting him for the first time in years. It was one that h
Walking deep inside the woods was hectic, and I have no choice but to go slowly. My motion was as slow as a snail, picturing me as a fragile human. Although, as of now, everything felt different in me. But it doesn’t change the fact that I have been through hell for the past two days.I have survived two more rogue attacks, the possibility of being nabbed by members of a small pack, as well as surviving an attack from a wild one out there. Thanks to the gifted abilities I now possess, I have been able to successfully evade every sort of situation I got into. However, it always comes with a price — Exhaustion.Once I use any of my abilities for too long, which I always do during the evasions, I get drained of my energy both physically and mentally. I’ve made several attempts to at least hold on to my energy for much longer but I have not succeeded in doing it. I only count myself lucky for the aftereffect of using the abilit
