From caring comes courage.” - Lao Tzu.
After a hectic day in school. Clara decided to rush home to take some rest before the time of her date. She was so excited to be going on a real date. She never dated in highschool. Although She had gone on a date with Xander, she preferred to call it something other than a date. Going on a date with some whom you truly like was different and she couldn't wait to experience it. She giggled to herself like a high school student while she made her way to the college cafeteria. She walked up to the counter where only a few staff members were attending to the students. Luckily there was less que and Clara quickly ordered some takeaway and a few soda. She paid with her card and made her way to the exit. While she was walking, Clara internally sighed, thinking of the several minutes it would take before a taxi would come by. Perhaps she should probably get herself a car and also a student job to support herself. Well aware that her mom could afford to buy her a brand new car but she preferr
Clara shut her eyes and held firmly to Skyler for fear of losing balance and falling off the motorcycle. She felt the grazing touch of the cool wind as they swept past her ears. She had once pictured herself riding on a motorcycle. but this moment was nothing close to what she had imagined and having Skyler next to her made it a whole different kind of experience.After a few moments on the wheels, Clara became comfortable. The initial fear seemed to have blown away along with the passing wind. Prompting her to open her eyes to see the blurry trees and plants that were moving rapidly behind them. This beautiful scenery brought a wide grin to her lips. the wind whipped her hair about and she gave an unconscious squeeze at skyler's shirt.Skyler felt the squeeze and smiled." Is everything alright at the back?" He asked. His eyes focus on the road."Never been better," Clara laughed."Where are we headed?" She asked. "You'll see," he replied.Clara noticed they were heading out of town a
In the welcoming amber glow of the evening rays, both lovers rode on the wheels again in silence, yet content to sit closely to one another. She felt the soothing evening breeze, becoming absorbed in the music of wind and chirping of birds, letting the gentle energy of nature wash in. Clara held on to Skyler, her head resting on his back, while listening to the sound of his beating heart.Lost in the new found feelings, Clara failed to realize that Skyler had stopped driving until the sound of his deep voice forced her back to reality. She stepped down from the bike and took a look around the place. She was wowed by the beauty and nature, she had never seen anything like it before. Her eyes went back to look at skyler who was looking back at her with so many emotions in his eyes."This place is beautiful" she whispered."I know," Skyler nodded." This is where I come to whenever I need to be away from the world". He told her.Clara went back to looking at the surroundings in awe and sh
After drowning in the sweet memories of the day's event. Skyler reached the pack house in no time and started walking towards the entrance after he had parked his motorcycle. Only then did it occur to him to put a check across to Liam and Landon to make sure they were on duty. He mindlinked Liam first but there was no response. He then mildlinked Landon but ended up with no response from either of them.A dreadful feeling came upon him and his wolf stirred uncomfortably. Skyler's blood immediately turned cold at the realization that something had gone wrong.Clara was in danger. Their mate was in danger.Shit!" He cursed.He turned around and started to walk back to the exit in haste when he bumped into Lucas who was about to walk in. Without bothering with him, Skyler walked past him in a hurry, not sparring to look his way and for a moment Lucas was confused but then he quickly chased after his friend and pulled him by the arm to stop him from leaving."Hey what's up, Man""Let go,"
Her laughter echoed in the empty space but then she abruptly stopped laughing and her face was devoid of any emotion. She grabbed Clara by her jaw and made her look into her eyes. The hollowness in those eyes sent chills down Clara's spine and she struggled to break free from the woman's hold. Clara wondered if perhaps she was going to die from fright. Annette let go of Clara's jaw and took a step backwards while she chuckled."Such bad manners we have, Emmet" Clara heard the woman say. "Forgive us for being rude. We would like to introduce ourselves to you" she said."This is Emmet, my partner, '' she said while pointing at the bulky man who seemed less interested with the introductions. "I am lady Annette. You can call me aunt. I was very much acquitted with your mother" Annette gave her a taunting smile. "It was a pity that she decided to stab me in the back" She giggled like an innocent child but Clara knew there was nothing innocent about the woman."Your mother thought she co
Words have reached the wailing faeries about Clara's abduction. Jeremy and Nimue and her grandson Henry were seated in the living room along with a few others. They all had worried expressions on their faces."This is one of the reasons she can not be mated to that werewolf. He is a danger to her and all of us" said Jeremy with displeasure."That doesn't matter right now, what's important is us finding a way to rescue her," said Henry with creased brows"I agree with you, Jeremy. We can not allow such a thing to happen before our eyes," said the middle aged brunette with blue eyes. She adjusted herself on the sofa and continued. " from now on we have to do our best to stop them from………""Stop it, Celestine" Nimue cut her off. While sending hard glares to the woman and then to everyone in the room."Felicia's daughter, our next Queen was abducted by rogues, probably by a witch and what you all are concerned about is who she's mated to, instead of finding a way to bring her out of there
"Look, Alpha. We all know the instinct to protect one's mate is highly embedded in every werewolf and we also know that you feel very protective of her but the union between us and the wailing faeries is not possible. It will only bring chaos" Nurrideen said."We don't know that, yet" said Skyler."The current situation is one good reason this union will never work. She will become your weakness and you know how well our adversaries can exploit weaknesses. We can't afford to have you mated to some weak banshee who doesn't even know how to protect herself. You need a Luna that's strong and capable. We have so many strong she-wolf for you to choose from". Castor said."Are you telling me to reject my Mate?"asked Skyler with a frown.''I'm saying you should think wisely, ``Castor replied."She's going to reject you once she finds her other Mate" Said Pius who had been quietly listening all this while. " You are the Alpha and the pack should come first " he said.Skyler scoffed at his fat
The night was very calm and the silvery moon was at its peak, stars were glittering and the cool breeze swayed the trees from left to right but as calming as the atmosphere seemed to be, Skyler was oblivious of it all. He was standing outside the cabin and gazing into space, drowning in his thoughts. Skyler was filled with anger and worry but mostly self blame. He wallowed so much in his thoughts that he failed to realize someone was standing next to him until a mild pat on his shoulder pulled him back to reality then he turned his head sideways to see Lucas standing beside him. Lucas gave him a quick nod and Skyler went back to staring into space, none of them said anything and both men stayed like that for a long time until Lucas broke the silence."What will you do about Emmet's demand?. Are you going to give in to his demands?" Said Lucas.Skyler stayed silent as this was part of the reason he was worried. From the little note Emmet had left behind. He demanded that the deed of o
