MannyI could not believe my ears. I felt so much joy touch my heart and it nearly burst out of my chest. My mate finally accepted me! This is such good news that I cannot wait to share it with my family. Even though I am happy I cannot seem to stop the tears from flowing on my cheeks. If this is what they call tears of joy then I am happy to experience this. Aria's giggles sound like a soothing rain on a summer night. I am the happiest man alive. I want to shout it out for the whole world to hear. Who would not be happy after getting a second chance in life? A second chance to love and live? I take the initiative to kiss my mate and she in turn reciprocates. It is such a slow and sweet kiss, nothing sensual but it is filled with gratitude. Henceforth, my life is never going to be the same again."Thank you so much, my dearest mate. You have no idea how much your acceptance means to me. Aria Crescent De Andrade, you have made me the happiest man alive today. Honestly, my life was nev
AriaThe adrenaline rush is almost palpable. It keeps urging me forward and I embrace it. This is like deja vu. It seems as if I have experienced this before. As I keep running, the most unusual thing happens. It is an out-of-body experience. I start seeing myself running but my appearance makes me gasp. I cannot find words to describe how I look. I look hideous. Scary even. Although I am running with my two legs, they are forty and even my face is full of hair. Instead of my normal hands, I have claws with sharp talons. It is as if I am half human and half something else. Even my mouth and nose look elongated. Almost like I have a snout. I start panicking. This cannot be me! This can't be happening! In the midst of all this, I spot a woman walking through the clearing. I rush toward her and I am surprised by how bloodthirsty I feel. For some reason, I can detect her heartbeat from a distance and that makes me feel hungry and thirsty. Even more baffling is the fact that all I smell
MannyAs we walked down the stairs, Aria suddenly became very nervous. I could not understand why she was feeling that way, nor could she. It became so bad that she started shaking and I had to support her all the way to the door.What awaited us by the door was not what I expected. Of course, I was not as spooked as Aria but I was equally baffled. There stood Summer in her magnificently majestic white wolf form. Aria gasped and uttered something that left me baffled to this day."Hermana?" (Sister?)After which she just fell and lost consciousness. Two days have passed and my mate remains unconscious. Although everyone has questions, Summer is not divulging anything. She keeps telling us to be patient. According to her, only Aria will enlighten us. In fact, Summer keeps on insisting that it is Aria's right to tell us. She says that when Aria regains consciousness, she will be knowing the whole truth. Thus it will be up to her to decide whether to tell us or keep us in the dark. One
Manny"Only one wolf ever could attract danger and dark energy to herself the way a candle does moths. The one whose name has been forgotten amongst the supernatural beings. The name that everyone never wished to ever surface again.The one name that shook the universe like a giant earthquake of unimaginable magnitude. Amirah. The true epitome of destruction and my twin sister.The truth is, back in the day, uttering that name was an open invitation for incarceration. Whoever dared utter that name, would be banished without a trial. She was a curse to all supernatural beings. Witches, werewolves, wizards, vampires, and warlocks all had a taste of her wrath. After killing the firstborn of the great warlock of that time, a great curse was placed upon her on the night of the blood moon. The aggrieved warlock turned her into something every wolf loathes the most. A bloodthirsty mongrel. Although she was a normal wolf, she has the same bloodthirsty tendencies as vampires. She went on a ki
Aria The reason why I accepted Manny was that all these things happening are too big for me. Everything is just so complicated that it scares me. I already knew that this is beyond me, hence I surrendered to my fate. Only after he explained everything to me did it all start to make sense. The dream I had and these heightened senses. All of it pointed to who I really am. I should have figured it out as well. Anyway, I guess it is true that one can never escape their fate. To think that the very species I abhor turns out to be what I am! Ironic, right?I cannot help feeling ashamed of myself. I am angry to an extent. Why did it turn out this way? Why did I never have an inkling that I might just be the same as everyone here? Now I truly believe that there are no coincidences in life. Even our relocation eas predestined. I dare not imagine how everything would have turned out had we not relocated. Neither Henna nor I knew of the existence of werewolves. I shudder with fear just imagin
Aria I listen attentively to everything that Summer says and I must say I am quite stupefied. This is all too much for me to digest but I am not one to back down when things appear tough. Giving up has never been an option for me. Nor has giving in to fear ever been considered in my life. I let fear paralyze me once and because of that, I lost my memory. No more will I cower and hide. This is who I am and there is nothing else that I can do otherwise. "So does that mean we are also sisters, Summer? Doesn't this make my relationship with Manny taboo? I do understand that even in werewolf communities incest is punishable by death. So, could it be that the moon goddess made a mistake this time?"I make my worries known to Summer in a somewhat detected voice. I must say I have started to enjoy Manny's company quite a lot. If we truly are distant relatives, this whole situation will be quite awkward. Summer scoots closer to me and pulls me in for a hug. Before she even speaks, my flaili
Unknown What is she and why have the werewolves taken such a keen interest in that little human girl? I do not sense any wolf in her. She is truly just a mere human. Could it be all this attention to the girl is only because she is mated to one of them? That must be the case. The most frustrating thing is that they are disturbing my plans. Mine was an infallible plan but I guess that just like before, I grossly underestimated my enemy. I guess it is time to put plan B into action. Why should I take a step back?I have been keeping a distance since that white wolf came here. If I dare be reckless, she detects my presence from thousands of miles away. This is a major drawback to my plans. That redhead has not gotten a chance to report back to me for a while now. What's worse, my energy is depleting by the day. Because of that insufferable Summer, I have been forced to retreat into the human world. These puny creatures do not have the capacity to feed me as much as I need. I am force
Unknown Aria and I go a long way. She just does not know but I have known of her existence for seven years now. She is in actual fact, my benefactor. I remember that day vividly.Flashback Post War After Harold turned on me, I had to concede defeat and lat low. I knew that the white wolf, Summer would not let me off easily. This I hid in the human realm, thousands of miles away. I must say that it was but a momentary relief. She soon caught up with me and managed to trap me in that desolate era. Before she caught up to me, I was able to witness how despicable humans could be and that was when my plan was formulated. At that moment I vowed that if I ever broke free, I would work with humans now. They are even more heartless than supernatural beings. Since the war broke out, I had enough energy but I was missing the one thing that would complete me. The blood of the first-ever wolf. She did not die and I could see that she was leading her kind to victory. I had to put my plans asid
