Manny After leaving my dad's office, I decide to go for a run, around the perimeters. I am done now, but it has done nothing to ease my anxiety and restlessness. Therefore I decide to go skin dip in the lake. I run in wolf form but when I reach there, I shift to my human form. Not wanting to waste any more time, I dive into the cold water. For a while, it soothes my nerves. I have been swimming around for a while and I guess it is now time I return to the pack house. As I sit here debating on whether I should run back in wolf form, or just take an easy stroll in my human form, I am suddenly hit with a terrible headache.This is odd, as werewolves hardly get sick. I slump to the ground clutching my head. Then as I shut my eyes tightly, a realization hits me. This is not a normal headache. It is because someone is trying to reach me through mindlink. Most probably they are not a part of my pack.Not only that, this person must be very powerful. For them to force a mindlink with an alp
AriaThis is certainly the most unusual school I have ever seen. It's about twenty minutes away from the town where I live and is surrounded by a dense forest. Honestly, who builds a school amid a forest?As we walk towards the principal's office, I take sneak peeks at the other students in the hallway and I am stupefied. Most of the male students look as if they spent most of their lives in the gym. So are the female students. They all look as if they are beauty queens. Let me explain this observation the best way I can. Most of these guys are tall and sturdy. Well built and athletic. There is no problem with that at first glance, but I certainly find it quite unnerving. I am also a teenager and have been to school before. There is no way all teenagers can be in such good shape. Never. In a normal setup, you find at least a percentage of chubby foodies, but not in this school. This leaves me wondering if this is real or a figment of my imagination. My other unsettling observation is
AriaThere is a group of students at the table adjacent to where I am sitting. They are five in total. Three boys and two girls. It is easy to see that the two pairs are couples and the way they are close is almost adorable. The guy without a partner keeps staring at me. Then I choke on the next thing he says. "But she is human guys!"The moment he says that I choke on my soda and he clamps his mouth. Without a second thought, he comes to me and offers me a bottle of water. I take it and mumble a small thank you. Just like that, the whole group shifts to where I am sitting. The pretty girl with auburn hair is the first to break the silence. "Hello dear, my name is Stacey, and this is my boyfriend James. That there is my best friend Millie and her boyfriend Gabe. And this gentle giant who just gave you water is our good friend Ben. Do you mind if we sit with you?"I think I like this girl, she has quite a radiant smile. So I nod and welcome them. "Nice meeting you guys. I am Aria C
Aria. Even I have no idea, how I could cover this distance in such a short period. Why did I feel this sudden need to protect Ben? I swear that I am fast, but not as fast as I have just experienced. It is almost surreal. I turn to Mr. Levi Reynolds and nod. Even I am shocked. However, my shock does not last long. It quickly switches to defense. A furious redhead lunges at me snarling like a rabid dog. I block all her attacks before holding her in a chokehold. "I swear Reddy, if you don't stop I will thrash you. Why are you attacking me again? Is it my problem that your equally stupid brother decided to sneak an attack on an unsuspecting person? I will knock you out again if you do not leave me be."I am furious now and my whole being is itching for a fight. I am surprised at how steady my voice sounds. Mr. Reynolds grabs a hold of Reddy and I let loose. "Miss Sawyer, what is this about? Can you not wait your turn? And what did I say about shifting? I have called your father and we
Manny"Manny! Michael, come here quickly, something is wrong with Manny!"I can hear Summer screaming but at this moment, I feel lightheaded and strangely, quite angry. It all takes about a minute and the anger subsides. Then I feel as if I am having a panic attack, then helplessness. Drenched in sweat, I recover and sit upright. Mike and Summer are both looking at me with so much concern. "What happened buddy? For a moment, you scared us there."Michael queries and I know that even though he is trying to make light of the situation, he is a bit ruffled. "I do not know, but I don't think that was my pain."I respond pondering about it then a fear so profound grips me. "Summer, please call Mia! Check on her, please and I will call Father and Mother as well. Darn, it! Why did I not think of them first?"I am frantic at this moment and scared as well. Mia is almost due and that is not labor pain. It felt as if I was being attacked with the intention of killing. I can only think of one
Dr. Boyce When Alpha Luke called me to the school, I was about to leave the pack hospital. I had a meeting scheduled with all branch managers for the different Luminous casinos.Most of the staff was new. Two months ago, I was forced to reshuffle the higher-ups. Sneaky humans. They had started stealing from us and I was left with no choice but to fire most of them. However, considering the gravity of the situation at the school, I had to go. After being told that the badly injured student was human and would need a transfusion, I contacted a human doctor friend of mine, to organize about four pints for me. I collected the blood and headed for the school. How could warrior Levi have allowed the new human student to fight with the werewolves? Now she is badly injured and that is the worst that could happen Honestly, I am quite frustrated. He of all people should have known better. That is the very reason we have minimized the intake of human students. Their plan to hike the school fe
MannySeeing how frantic my mother is, I am having a hard time composing myself. I have no choice but to keep calm for my nephew's sake. I do not need to scare the precious boy.So, I painstakingly, wait for my mom to finish narrating whatever she knows of the commotion at the school. What she says next gives me mixed feelings. I do not know whether I should laugh or cry at the same time. "Gamma Sawyer received a call from your father about his son having been hurt during training. He left in a hurry and another call came in from your dad. This time, Scarlet had gotten into a fight with the human girl, who hurt her brother. I guess Gamma Sawyer had taken off in wolf form, hence your dad could not reach him on his phone."As my mom speaks, I cannot help but feel awed by the human girl. How can a mere human defeat a full-grown wolf, like Sawyer's boy? She is quite interesting. "Then I guess your dad forgot he was still on the phone with me. I heard him screaming to Scarlett not to shif
AriaIn as much as I was against the idea of moving in with the Reynolds, I honestly had no choice. At least, I had to do it for Henna's sake. The poor woman was scared that the Sawyers might come after us. You might wonder what I thought of all that. Well, I do not buy it. Not one bit. No one in their right mind would seek revenge for such a trivial matter. Either the Sawyers are downright stupid, or the Reynolds are hiding some deep secret.I honestly choose to go with the latter because that is the only plausible and quite frankly, sensible explanation. Something is amiss and I intend to find out. Now, you all must think that I am crazy for putting myself in danger right? I do not know how, but I am darn sure the Reynolds will not hurt us. I just know it. The Sawyers do not scare me. I know that I could take the whole clan down if need be. The reason I am playing along is that, from the very first day I set foot in that school, I knew that something was off. Whether it is a cult
