The night we spent together on top of the car was close to perfection. Us, making love under the billions of stars in the sky as our sole witness. Who could have thought our journey to San Francisco started with chasing enemies and ending up on each other's chests and arms? It was an exhausting but promising experience. Because my entire body was too weary, I slept faster than I expected. And so is Nathan. "Look what you just did, Ghino? Can you recognize those wolves you killed in your hands?" A bolt of thunder followed by a flash of electrifying lightning struck my ears. The boisterous and rough voice was coming from no other than Victor. Compared to my previous nightmare which I haven't told anyone about, his presence was all over the place but I could barely find utter darkness. So, I dropped my gaze to my hands and found two wolves, both lifeless. I could see fist-size holes on their chest as though their hearts were both ripped off. The worst part is that I c
"Do we really have to park the car there, Ghino? I mean, not that I'm worried but how are we supposed to get back to New York without a car?" Nathan mentioned he's not worried but the tone of his voice tells me the other way around. He cannot let go of the car when it bestowed us a wonderful memory last night. And it has been rare that Nathan and I could have spent time together as special as last night that was worth remembering. He proposed to me. I disagreed because I have my reasons. But in the end, my heart realized there are no reasons for me to say no despite everything that happened in our lives. Seeing us together putting each other's rings in front of our friends and families was worth imagining. "Didn't you realize we were walking on a rocky and descending surface, Nathan?" My mood last night was completely ruined by Roger and his daughter's appearance. Talking with Nathan was even greatly affected as I just raised my voice at him. "Are you still mad at
"Excuse me?" I asked, somewhat furious and guilty. "What else could it be the other reason we put you in a cage, huh, young wolf?" I immediately pointed my gaze to the ground when she shifted back into her human form. In a few seconds, Nathan, Roger, and his daughter appeared with their hands knotted with chains and were assisted by a bunch of wolves. "So much for the plan, huh?" Roger spit saliva on the ground leaving his sharp gaze on me. Perhaps Nathan has already told him about our other plan that so happened which also failed. "Nathan! What are you gonna do with them?" I tried to remove those chains that were locked up in my hands and ankles but my wolf could not make it. Most of my strengths were used up last night with Nathan. "Apology, but we don't trust your allies, Ghino Frost of the Blue Moon Pack!" She mentioned my name aloud and clear. But how? I haven't introduced myself yet. As far as I could remember, the only one who was introduced earlie
{Nathan's POV} "What do you think of the reason Ghino got separated from us"? Roger impatiently muttered to his daughter. It has been an hour since we got locked up in the cage. The worst part is that my senses could barely reach his scent. "I don't know. Maybe that female alpha is having a pep talk with him. Perhaps she already knew Ghino was lying to her. I mean, what else could be the reason he got separated, right"? his daughter muttered back. "You're right about that, young lady. Because of that, Ghino will be hung to death before the night will end". The female alpha suddenly appeared in front of the cage we were in. "Do you have any last word to your beloved, Ghino, huh, Prince Nathan"? she pointed her gaze at me. I don't have any idea how she knew about my relationship with Ghino. But I know Ghino will not unfold that piece of information to anyone as I did back in the casino which almost cost his life. "What did you do to him? Where is he"? I could sen
"Enemies!" a man's boisterous yell from a distance erupted in the entire village, followed by the continuous howling of wolves telling everyone to prepare. Mixed worries and fears flooded the entire town in a matter of seconds. Despite the injury after fitting my werewolf body through the cage, my feet continued trekking, following the trail where we last saw Ghino. When I got to the cage he was in, he was already gone. And I could barely ask anyone when most of the families hiding in their houses were all scared. They all locked their doors and windows, thinking Victor's wolves or whatever monsters are attacking the village will feel sorry if they will destroy their houses. Whoever suggested that ridiculous idea was completely insane. Their female alpha, perhaps even agreed to that brainless idea. Subsequently, I continued roaming the village with caution. Then, I remembered they once told us that they are going to hang Ghino to death before the sunset. Shit. I s
"Stay out of this, Nathan. This is between me and her. For believing I am the enemy. I know you don't trust me yet, but you will..." "Ghino, whatever you're doing. Better do it now. We can't hold them any longer." Roger yelled despite having difficulties fighting against three. "Help them, Nathan. You are one of the reasons she can't trust me. Better prove to them you deserve to be the next king of your pack." Ghino's words penetrated my heart. My wolf doesn't know what exactly are they talking about but I could feel the level of desperation in his tone. His thunderous blaming growls which were pointing at me forced my feet to turn around. Forget my worries and fears, and attacked Victor's wolves with everything my wolf could offer. The only wolf who I believe trusted my wolf also blamed me. He did not hesitate to say that in front of me even if he knew it could hurt my feelings. The tone of his voice was telling me that everything could have been avoided if not be
I could not believe he punched me back. After all the good things that happened to us, he punched me back in the face. As I see it, several drops of blood came out of his hands when we got removed from each other. But it did not stop me from hating him to the deepest part of my bone. I could not care less about him anymore. There was no more space for the guilt that can fit into my heart aside from regrets, resentment, and the feeling of being betrayed. All this time I let myself believe that Ghino has been on my side since the day we know each other. And that love for us, despite the uttered indifference and forbidden, can become real in the future. But I was mistaken. If I could have known this to happen in the future, I should have just let him die when my parents paid someone to kill him because he was misleading me on the road which I believe was right for me. That helps me realize that what I am can be accepted by the majority, not just the humans but the werewol
What shocked me the most was when he opened his eyes. No. His eyes were already opened since we arrived in the cave. Could he still see without his eyes? For five hundred years? "You knew about us?" Ghino asked in full surprise. "Scott, I'll leave Ghino with you in the meantime so you two could catch up. Don't worry, he's an ally. He can be trusted." the female alpha said. Then, she dragged us out of the cave as part of Ghino's one condition earlier. Roger and his daughter wanted to stay because they don't trust the female wolf. To at least Ghino could have his backup if things with Scott go south. Sadly, Ghino wanted to have privacy with Scott. I don't know what kind of conversation they are going to talk about but it might have something to do with what the female alpha told us earlier. About Ghino's future and nightmares. My wolf has a few questions stored in my brain but I could not believe Ghino forbid me to talk to Scott after what I did to him earlier.
