Four years ago, my twin and I planned to run away from the pack together. She never showed up, so I took off alone. Since then, I often venture near the borders to check if I would see her, but I've had no luck. Just when I decide to disappear and never go near the pack again, I meet my mate. He's none other, but Alpha Jett, the new leader of the Night Storm. The same pack that I escaped from. I'm not under any illusion that he could make me Luna of the pack he snatched out of the hands of my monster of a father. Not even when he willingly reunites me with my twin. But when I attempted to reject him to be free from the bond, I did not expect to get labeled defiant and be thrown in prison. Then, his Luna-to-be tries to kill me. Now, the full moon has passed, which means waiting another twenty-eight days for Alpha Jett to release me from the mate bond. I refuse to wait in prison and be tormented by the scent of my fated mate on the she-wolf who tried to kill me. So I plan another escape. With help from those whom I believe are on my side, I gain my freedom again. When the time comes for us to break the bond, Alpha Jett will surely find me. He always does. But one of us will die before I let him take me captive again to his accursed pack!

Staring out of the window in deep thoughts, fighting back the tears threatening to spill down my face, as the last thing I want to show now is “weakness”. I can’t afford to show it, I can’t afford to break down now, not when I’ve finally gotten the freedom I’ve always wanted.
I let out a deep sigh as I pulled my eyes away from the window bringing them back to reality, standing before me where to sack bags piled up with clothes,
I gave the room one last look before stepping out and with a confused mind, I shut the door. Leaving back all the pains and traumas I have once felt during the years I stayed in there.
“Camellia,Camellia,” I could hear my little sister’s voice from a distance as I walked towards the front desk.
“Hello! miss camellia,we’re so glad that you’re finally free, and I hope you’d stay away from troubles henceforth” one of the female cops there spoke with a smile while handing some papers to me.
I picked up a pen from the desk and signed without saying a word.
My mind was clouded with so many thoughts,reminiscing on the whole incident as I signed the papers, I just can’t wait to be out of here.
Stepping out of the gaint gate, I totally ignored my sister’s existence because I’m not ready to see or have any conversation with my family members now. I felt the city’s cool breeze welcome me. “Freedom” at last, I whispered, the word tasting bitter on my lips, it sounded so foreign to my ears,I screwed off, scared they’d change their mind.
Lost in my own thoughts, as I continued my journey to the unknown, I had no place in mind to go, and I’ve no intention of going back to my family, Not after they’ve neglected me all these years.
I was tired and weak, I needed a place to rest.i scanned my environment in search for a place to sit,and I found one across the road, as I hastened my steps to cross the road, I heard a whimper in pain.
A young boy was trying to get back on his feet, he was obviously in serious pains, an angry looking woman came up to him. “Eric,come here, you little brat!” She shouted.
The name “Eric” made my world stop for a moment, as I froze right on that spot with memories flooding my mind, the memories from years back came back in a flash.
“Eric”,- my ex boyfriend, his words, his smiles, his touches, our memories together, and most importantly his death all came in one flash, with the last conversation we had before our breakup echoing so loud in my ears.
“I love you so much cami, so much that
I’m scared it might cause me more
harm,but,I still can’t let you go…I’m
Scared cami”.
Eric had told me this that night in his apartment,with his head rested on my thighs.
“ I love you so much Eric and you
Know that right?”
I asked.
“ I know, that’s why I’m ready to give
Up my life for you” he replied.
“C’mon,don’t say that” I cautioned him.
“Cami,you know I’m not lying,I’m not
Scared of dying for you, I’m only
Scared of a world without you” he replied.
“Silly boy” i giggled.
That night was a memorable one for me, he had called me that morning and asked to spend the whole day together and I agreed without a second thought and we did have fun,from cooking together, to telling tales, playing games
Watching movies and having our alone time indoor.
Everything was perfectly fine till he sent me a breakup text ,without a reason for it and what followed next was his death,making me the prime suspect. How?.
I was still lost in thought when the horn of a car and the scream from onlookers brought me back to reality. Fear gripped
me as I saw the car coming towards me in so much speed,it was so close and there was nothing I could do at that moment. I closed my eyes ready for the moment.
“maybe this is my fate after all” I whispered.
Suddenly a hand grasped my shoulder pulling me with so much force, as we both crashed on the other end of the road with him falling flat on the ground and me on top of him, making my saviour whimper in pains.
I slowly opened my eyes as the crowed murmured.
“That was a close one”
“The guy is her hero”
These whispers came from the crowd, staring at the guy who was whimpering in pain. I quickly got back on my feet, so he could stand up too.
A figure stood before me,with his eyes locked on mine.
“Camellia…” he whispered,sending shivers down my spine,memories flooding in as I stared into these familiar eyes.
Was my head playing games with me? Why am I seeing this?
I thought as I tried keeping my eyes open, because my head was already feeling so light.
“Y-ou” I stuttered with tears clouding my eyes.
“Cami…” he called.
And then, everything went blank.
Jett POVI had known that Raven was well from the moment the witch finished her work. All that was left was for her to open her eyes. I'd waited an hour and a half with the rise and fall of her chest, giving me the assurance that she was alright now. Seeing her actually awake filled me a profound gratitude like I'd never felt before. I had almost lost her. Different emotions welled up inside me as I looked down at her sleepy eyes. The look on her face now brought back memories of what seemed like another lifetime. Of those days when she and I had sat across from each other in this very room. That was the first day that she'd spoken to me. Or the time she'd poured that dirty, soapy water on me.She had the same look on her face now, which meant she was practically back to normal. She was Raven with the attitude once again. I had never been so thankful and happy to look upon a female in my life."None of this would have happened if I had listened to you. On the day of that first attac
Sophie POVI was sitting in a pitch-black corner in a room, unsure how I got here or how to get out. All I knew was that I must wait for the sun to rise. This was a bad dream. I was aware. Yet I couldn't wake up. Fear was my companion. I did not want to be here but could not leave. Jett would come for me. He had always found me before. He came with the sunrise or with a torch.I wanted to scream but was too scared. What if something frightful heard me? What if I was not alone in this abyss, and something was waiting to drag me to hades? As I crouched there, images flashed before me. A recollection. I'd been fighting with my mate's ex when I got thrusted into this dark place. Surely, she didn't push me into this abyss to simply wait here. Something dangerous would come for me. The bakunawa. They would come to suck my wolf away.I hugged my legs, recoiling at the thought. If the sun would just rise. The moon was too far now. Its light could not save me at this time. Not until it retu
Jett POVUs werewolves hated witches. The feeling was mutual. While they considered us animals with a horrid temper, we viewed them with deep suspicion even though, like us, most of them worshipped the Moon Goddess. We were not alone in our hatred of them. Other supernatural beings avoided them, too. The hatred was instinctive. Their powers were from other non-human creatures. A werewolf could tell the extent of another werewolf's power by merely looking at them. That was not the case with witches. A small, slim, ordinary-looking female like this one could do serious harm to a person without lifting a finger. I would never in a million years allow their kind near a loved one. The damage they could cause by merely chanting a few words? That was unnatural.I already had a problem with her mere presence before she mentioned that a "friend" sent her."What friend?" I asked."Alpha Merritt."My wolf fought to come out at the sound of that name. My claws forced themselves out as I made a
Jett POVI stood at the door to the chamber where Raven was being treated, waiting for the nightmare to end. For the doctor to open the door and tell me that she would be okay. That the poison had all been flushed out, and the blood transfusion was a success. And Raven was awake, waiting to see me.Tessa was in there, too. It was her turn to give blood. The doctor said he couldn't take any more from me if I wanted to keep breathing when she woke up. What he'd taken was not enough because most of Raven's blood would have to be sucked out.Thank Goddess for Nick's fast jet, Richard and the twin had arrived some thirty-five minutes earlier. Getting here later than that would have been a problem. Richard waited with me. He stood with his back on the wall watching me. He was anxious as hell. The air was warm with it. Or maybe that was me.I wondered if he was worried about Tessa losing too much blood or if he was simply scared of what it would do to her if... Nope. I better not think in t
Sabrina CliffeSabrina could not hear herself screaming even though she was wailing at the top of her lungs."Kill me!" She raged. "Don't leave me without arms. Jett! Kill me, damn it!"If she could just get close so that her flesh would touch those detached limbs, maybe they would reattach and start to heal. How could everything have gone so very wrong.She had seen Sophia Nile come out of Jett's house, wearing his jacket and reeking of him. She'd thought it was the Fate that brought her out. That the heavens had to be on her side. But she had been very wrong! The trãmp had not only hit back, but she'd fought hard. Sabrina still could not believe this was the same girl that had been a prisoner and at her mercy not long ago.This was supposed to be simple and brief. One dart should have done the job. Denise Lane had betrayed her. That worthless Parker and his partner, Ron. The two had brought the ghillie and poison but had clearly gotten bested by the traitorous Denise afterward. Oh
Sophie POVI ducked just in time for the dart to zing past me. The figure in the ghillie bared its teeth and then reached into its pocket. They left their hiding place and took a few steps closer for a better aim. The last time I saw this person, I was their target, too. Jett had saved me, then, but the poison had caught and left me unconscious for a few hours. The person behind the camouflage was Sabrina, Jett's ex fiancée. I confirmed her identity last time, but Jett did not believe me. Fury burned in my chest at the memory of my mate defending her. This female paraded herself in front of me, wearing Jett's clothes to torment me. She even offered me to a guard to be used and räped. My rage burned hotter with these thoughts as another poisonous dart flew my way. I dodged again, then charged towards her as she was reaching for another dart.Suddenly, the woods became noisy with barks and footsteps, and wolves fighting and arguing nearby. "Need to stop her," argued a vaguely familia
