Emma Grey"What are you even searching for?"Her question went through my ears as I bit my lower lips anxiously, eyes roamed across the room in my attempt to look for the missing item, and yet, I found none.It's not in the wardrobe, it's not in the drawers, and it's not under the bed either. No matter how hard I wrecked my brain out, I couldn't seem to retrieve the memories of where I misplaced.I mean, I knew I hid it here somewhere."Hello? Earth to Emma?" A sudden wave of a hand right in front of my face had finally diverted the attention from my mind. My eyes followed her hand until it reached her unsatisfied features."What?" I dumbly asked, having her heaving a sigh."I said, what are we even looking for right now?" She stated as a matter of fact, clearly expecting an answer in that instance.Should I request their help? It had been whirling inside my mind to urge for their assistance, adding to the fact that my injured leg had made it difficult for me to go through each corne
Nathan Black"We're here." Thomas's whisper was enough for us to stay alert, eyes instantly averting towards our surroundings. We had to ensure we were really by ourselves, without unnecessary company that I hoped we wouldn't have to unfortunately meet eyes on.It was when we were perfectly certain that none had trailed after us that we set our attention on the grim sight not far from where we hid.The second my eyes trained towards the pointed area had the line between my eyes creased, forming a neat line on my forehead.What even was this place?If there was anything I could describe it, I would say it was an abandoned small village. However, seeing a couple of small wooden houses based around the area, with the smoke exiting from it, it wouldn't need a hard guess to know the place was populated.Though, who would even dare to build such a population in another's territory. Not to mention, in the notorious Solis's territory at that.And if Thomas had been telling the truth, that
Emma Grey“The ring!”In those moments, I forgot everything. All there was in my mind was how grateful I was, that the ring was magically found. Especially when I was about to lose hope.I was so over the moon that I immediately launched forward, attempting to grab the silver accessory laying gracefully on the floor. If only I had remembered in the midst of my excitement, that my leg was freaking injured.Before I could even reach it from the bed, I had inevitably strained the muscle of my feet. And to wrap it even worse, it had accidentally hitted a hard surface."Ouch!" Damn! That hurts like hell. I almost cursed out loud.What did my leg even hit? Seriously, it felt like it got crashed into a rock. "What the–Watch your leg woman!"My leg? What was he even shouting about? Have a little bit of empathy here. It hurts so bad that I literally can't feel my leg right now.And it's not as if I had kicked him in the head or something…Right?My eyes slowly glanced over towards him amids
Nathan Black"Unbelievable." Ethan shook his head, unknown of other way he could express the horrid feeling looming inside him."I–I'm telling the truth." The young man choked out, "It was all his plan right from the very beginning. He knew we were stranded after we were exiled by our previous pack.""He offered us a place to build our home and he acted all nice at first." His eyes were unfocused as he retold the story, as if his mind had to go through the event again."Then, I realized that one by one, our people had gone missing. I thought nothing of it until one of my close friends disappeared, right after he had met Sir Joshue." He panted, a tear slowly glided down his skin, seeing the ache he tried to suppress."It turns out, he had been tossing us, one by one to the Luna Pack, attacking their border." he sniffled, flicking his eyes upward as it met mine. "B–But you know how strong the pack was, everyone knows." At the mention of our pack, I averted my sight away from his undou
Emma Grey"Do you think they're already back?"Lina pondered, hands were busy setting the plate on the dining table for our breakfast. I shrugged heedlessly, flipping the bacon on the pan. Feigning the anticipation creeping inside my chest at the thought of him by my side.Though, realizing she couldn't see it with her eyes on the table, I replied curtly, "Not sure.""Don't think so. Pretty sure they will be at your door first thing if they are." Allan snickered, huffing a chuckle as though his mind had played a scene we had no knowledge of."What do you mean?" That had picked my curiosity, turning my head to my side, seeing him help out in preparing the tea for the morning. "Nothing." I eyed him pointedly to his short reply, narrowing my eyes as his amused smile grew wider. Knowing he wouldn't explain himself, as he brought the teapot to the table, I scrunch my nose in annoyance. It's fine. I'll let it slide today, he had told plenty enough yesterday. A smile graced my lips as t
Emma Grey "I think there's something beneath us." As though confirming my words, the knocks returned. Now that we stood in the center of the room, we could hear it radiating from the floor. Only this time, it was getting weaker by each second when it suddenly disappeared, clawing the nerves that fumbled through my senses. Something's not right. What could it be? Adding to the fact that it resounded below the ground, how can that possibly be? Could there be an unknown basement underneath the house? I've lived in this house for 20 years, surely I would've noticed if there were peculiar things happening over the years. Right? Though, I couldn't deny that I spent most of my time in my room, away from mom's sight. It was actually easier for those matters to slip by my attention. The question now was, how do I find the door? The only furniture there was in here was the worned looking set of couches with a soft shaggy brown rug underneath it. And also a radio on top of the wooden co
Nathan Black"Ah, you! Emma's sister!"Her long brown hair flipped away as Eva startlingly whipped her head towards me. We had almost made it to the pack when I saw her along with some others a couple of feet in the forest.I could only assume she was on her patrol duty, seeing the way she led the whole group. I recalled appointing her as one along with others the minute I was informed of the disappearance of Sir Joshue.Her brows furrowed, probably weirded out seeing a number of men running straight to her, visible through her change of stance. Though when she had decipher who it was, her muscle instantly relaxed, huffing a relief."Oh, it's you." She muttered, eyes diverted to each of us when it suddenly dropped in disappointment, as if she couldn't find the one she was looking for.She shook her head. Her eyes met mine again, gone was the glint the second it had appeared."Is there something you need assistance with?"The question I was about to let out died in my throat as I left
Emma Grey"We meet again, little cub."The corner of his lips tilted upwards, almost too vicious for the likings. I immediately avoided his eyes, paying additional attention to the cracks of the ground."I see you found something you shouldn't have."It was unnerving. The very presence of him had always set an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach. Before I had realized it, the wolf in me had already bowed her head down, having been trained for so many years.As much as I was grateful for nature, for them to bring me and Nathan together, there was a slump to it. One said to let nature take its course, to let it flow in time, and all troubles and worries would pass by. When in fact, it will only roll up like a snowball, so big that by time you realized it, it was too late to change anything. Just as similar to our blind obedience to Sir Joshue."Oh, come on now, don't look so bummed out." His feet moved further eerily, step by step, having it echoed through the space.I ins
