I sat on my chair as I watch Leon speak over the phone. I replay the way Athena looked earlier and I know that there is something more than what she led me to believe. I know that there is something that she is not telling me. I remember how she and Mikey were trembling when Calvin and I reached them. The Athena I know was never afraid, she was never scared. Whatever happened in the bookstore shook her. “Our trackers found an opening in the far side of the city. It seems like whoever destroyed the wall did it slowly,” Leon said. “Do you know how long it took before the wall gave in?” I asked. “Calvin and Nori are checking the site,” Leon replied. “They might give us a better idea of the status of the wall.”I nodded. “I think we should start with stage two of our new warrior's training,” Leon said. “The rogues that we have been seeing not only from our pack but also from our Alliance packs are starting to bother me. I just feel that these are just tests, like how strong each of t
I lay in our bed staring at the ceiling of our bedroom. Everyone was so busy with something today and all of them left after breakfast, even Nikki. Nicolo sent me a message earlier asking me if I want him to be my company for today. But I declined. There was something that I wanted to do and unfortunately, I can’t do it with him being closed to Calvin. I tried calling Aunt Jess, they told me she left to do some research about my father. But it’s been weeks since the last time that she had last called me. I am getting a bad feeling about it but I am trying my best to be positive. No news is good news, right? I checked everyone’s schedule and everyone will be out for the day. Nikki was needed to assist in Purple Hill’s preschool as my replacement so she will be out as well. My phone buzzes and I check the message. ==========================Lisa: We are on our way. Me: Take care.==========================I know that Drake wouldn’t allow me to be home alone. That’s why I know that
Every person has his or her own purpose in life. That each of us has a specific reason why we were born. There are moments when life would make it hard for us to understand our purpose. And there are also times when everything may seem to be working in our favor. The bottom line is we all have our own stories to tell. And it’s up to us if we want it to end as a happy story, a sad story, or a tragedy. Because we are the only ones who have the power to decide on how our story goes. The more that I listen to Aunt Connie, the more I realize how Drake’s family was also a victim of greed and power. I appreciate how much Drake’s father had valued Aunt Jess. That despite everything else he still did everything that he could to save her and my mother. Drake’s mom, on the other hand, had it harder, but regardless of all the pain, she had to endure she never became one of those people who hurt her. Instead, she did everything she could to save the people around her and make sure that her child
A lot has changed ever since I met Drake. Because I finally found a place that I can call my home and met people that I now call my family. Aunt Connie continued telling me stories about Ares and Isabel. I continued to try to find ways how to resolve our current problem without too much bloodshed. It’s funny how we can only achieve peace after fighting over it an ugly war. A war that was created by people who were poisoned by their greed. “I later found out that Isabel has the uses the forbidden power of black magic,” Aunt Connie said. Black magic, these words caught my attention. I remember the smell of Lavender and how smelling it can manipulate a person’s thoughts. I heard about magics and mages but I was not quite sure how it works. “Isabel didn’t age, nor did Ares,” Aunt Connie said, “When Drake got married to Isabel it seems like they were the same age. Little did he know that Isabel was really the same age as his Dad. Slowly, Atos noticed that the more grey hair he had,
It's been a while since we demanded answers from someone. Been a long time since we torture someone just to get it. I wouldn't usually use this kind of method but because the safety of my family and of Purple Hill rely on the information that we would be able to get from him. I allowed the use of any method if it meant that we would get answers from him. I watch as the arrogant rogue wolf looks back at us, a smirk appeared on his face.'Let me punch him,' Nori said through the mind link that he had opened for us, 'Let me remove that smirk from his face.''I see something,' Calvin said, as he showed us what he sees. In his vision, we saw someone wearing an old brown cloak gather the rogue wolves from Devil's Moon.The scene shifted and we see the rogue wolves from Devil's Moon retaliate and tried to fight the guy in a brown cloak but then a lightning-like light came out of his palm turning the rushing rogue wolves into dust. And then the vision ended.I finally understood why this rog
We stared at his ashes unable to move or speak because all of us are at loss. We thought we would be able to get the answers that we needed, but before he can tell us more he end up getting burned and died.“This is just wrong,” Leon said, as he finally breaks the silence, “This is just fucked up.”I have to admit that everything was really fucked up. Everything was just so fucked up. We found ourselves with another dead end. “We can’t let them take the lead once again,” I said, every second, every minute, every hour that we wait for the next attack just makes us more vulnerable to the enemy. “We all know who the enemies are but the problem is they always have the upper hand against us,” as much as I hate to admit it. It was all true, Ares always have the upper hand because of Isabel. We all know the power that Isabel wields, and we also know how much she loves Ares. Her love and loyalty to Ares was something that the four of us have witnessed the hard way. “I’m sorry,” Calvin said
I watch how Nori takes care of Mikey as we eat our breakfast. I know that one of the reasons why he chose to adopt Mikey was because he saw himself with the kid. Well aside from the fact that Mikey really seems like the young Mikey that we all knew. Sometimes it makes me wonder if Mikey was really Nori's real son. “Baby,” Athena called as she tries to get my attention. I gave her a smile. “Do you need anything?” I asked as I gently stroked her tummy. I am both excited and at the same time, I am also afraid. I am excited to meet our Little Wolf, to be able to talk to him or her while I have him or her in my arms. I wanted to hear our baby cry, and giggle. I want to change his or her diaper or help Athena as she gave our Little Wolf a bath. There are so many things that I wanted to do with our Little Wolf. I guess that feeling comes to every expecting father naturally. Aside from the things that I wanted to do with our Little Wolf, I also pray and hope that he or she would look like
We patiently wait for the person involved to say something. No one spoke a word as we all look at the person who would be able to help us find the answer. After a few minutes, he sigh and said, “I need some fresh air.” Just like Lana did, he didn’t wait for us to give him an answer, instead, he started to walk away. He opened the door of the office, walked out, and let the door close behind him. “What the hell,” Leon blurted out once Nori was out of earshot. “What is she planning?” He asks angrily. The history between Nori and Lana goes way way back. We all stood witness to everything that the two of them went through. I am not quite sure how to really describe what they have and I will not judge them as well. “The problem we have right now is not to know the reason why Lana wants to have dinner with Nori,” I said, trying to have Leon and Calvin focus on the important matter that we are dealing with right and not have their emotions cloud their judgment, “The problem we have now is
