REID:The thought that I was this close to being nabbed overwhelmed me as I sat alone in my chamber. It has been two hours or more since the occurrence and all through the timeframe, I have done nothing else other than reflect.The mystery that led me into the Green Dales, the events that took place after that, and to top it all, I was saved by my mate. That was simply the line of what happened two hours ago.Despite everything that went down, I could not bring myself to tell her the truth about the bond that I have with her. Since she could not feel what I am feeling, I did not think it would be possible to convince her that we have something together. Not to forget that she is still a member of my pack’s rival.I wish there was a way I could put it to her. A way to let her realize that something was between us. But there is nothing I can do for now other than to watch her from far until fate decided to pull our strings together.“Come in,” I say before whoever is outside could most
KIRA:I am pushed a little roughly by the guards, making me bump into someone in front. Only that it was not me bumping into the person but was instead grabbed.“Thank you,” the masculine voice of the one who just grabbed me gets to my ears but I cannot look up at him, knowing it wasn’t me he was talking to but the guards.The next minute and I am being pulled away from the area to who knows where. The man’s hand is tightened on my arm as if to prevent me from getting out of his reach. Would I even try to escape from him if the reverse was the case?When I start feeling the impact of his hand on my arm, I have to make him realize by wincing. But it seems he doesn’t get the memo so I speak in place. “You’re hurting me.”His grip on my arm loosens but he doesn't take his hand off me. At least this was a much better way than trying to rip my arm out of my body.It goes on like that between us until we have entirely left the axis of where he took me from. I can only let him pull me around
KIRA:With my back against the wall, I drop down to the floor. Tears started to flow out of my eyes before I even got down, my heart feeling like it has shattered into pieces.Today might just be the worst day of my life. And it got ruined because of one person. I would not have taken it to heart that Bradley decided to say those hurtful things to me, but he worsened the situation when I arrived home and realized he snitched on me by telling my parents about my ordeal with the warriors at the borderline.The tongue-lashing I received from my parents for almost an hour hit me so bad that I could not take it anymore. Perhaps I need a do-over with my life.I sob endlessly for a long time as I pour my heart out. I never knew I could still be this vulnerable after telling myself numerous times that I am strong enough to handle anything thrown at me. Little did I know that just a little could make me this miserable.Just to be alone in solitude, I had to shut my mind to prevent Alexia from
REID:My attention shifts to the third being in here asides from Hunter and me. “Ryu, what’s your take on this?” I ask, wanting his opinion on the issue that has supposedly led to an argument between my beta and me.“I will have to agree with the alpha, Beta Hunter,” Ryu states, much to the disappointment of Hunter who frowns deeply, realizing it was now two against one. Ryu’s focus is on him while continuing to speak, “We discussed something similar to this before and I told him I did not think to meet with the Green Dales’ alpha yet. It would just be like we are playing on their intelligence. Something about using their present vulnerability against them.”“But that is not our intention. We just want to make a pact with them so we could get this done and over with.” Hunter counters.“That is not what they would think when we meet with them. It is just a psychological insight. If we were in their shoes and it was them coming to meet with us, we would react the same way I think they w
KIRA:I tighten the hood of my jacket over my head, making use of it to ensure I’m hidden from sight as I walk down the path leading to the school. This was after I noticed some students pass by my side. I was certain they were seniors due to their classy style of dressing.The pack-wide shutdown was called off yesterday. According to the reports received, it was now safe for everyone to go out which is is why I’m out of my quarters today after being locked in for almost a week.I have no excitement about going back to school. It was nothing different to being locked in. I would rather sway away my time in a day doing nothing, just lurking around the pack than being in either places.It was a little cold this morning. Seems like we’re getting into the winter season already. Funny thing is that I didn’t even take my jacket because of the cold. Never knew the weather would be this way at all. My cue to hide myself away from the others had prompted me to do so. And I guess my instincts p
KIRA:I blink my eyes repeatedly at the sight of the one who just talked, putting a likely end to the issue going on between me, Kelvin, and Sophie’s gang. I can’t believe my eyes because what I am seeing calls for a lot of surprises.The one who just put the whole ordeal to order was the pack’s beta, Thompson. And right beside him was someone I would never expect to meet at such a close range in quite a number of years — Alpha Simon!Our alpha was here. He was really here in our school in flesh and blood. Of course, everyone would know him because he is not a hidden figure but what would be of surprise to every one of us present in the hallway would be the fact that he is here in the academy.I don’t know what prompted him to be here. I literally have no idea. But to see him here means there is something important that he has to tend to lest he would not be accompanied by his beta as well as some elite warriors.“Isn’t it too early to be picking up a fight, young ladies?” the beta as
REID:Hearing Venice say that was just about enough to let me know how bad I might have fallen with my father. It was enough to let me believe he hates me even if Venice would not want to admit it to me.“Do you think what I did was justifiable?” I ask her.“It was. If I had been in your shoes, I would do the same,” she tells me, using her most sincere voice. “Father needs to learn how to hand off from things that hardly do not concern him. I wanted to stand up to him all these years about that attitude of his but I have never had the courage to. You wouldn’t believe how happy I was when I figured you already put him in his right spot.”That earns a smile from me. Ever since the incident with my father that had to do with him prying into the activities of the pack, I have been feeling awful because I thought I might have overdone things by talking down on him. Turns out my sister was a big fan of what I did. Makes me delighted that I did what I did.“You see... you’re smiling now. Aww
REID:“He's waking up,”I hear Venice say and I am prompted to look away from the window that I have eyes on. I turn my body to the side to land my eyes on a partially naked Hunter tied down to a bed.I walk over to the bed, stopping close to the edge and it gives me a clearer view of him slowly opening his drowsy eyes. My arms are folded below my chest as I await his full activeness.In no time, he is already fully awake and that is when he tries to sit up after groaning to signify a most likely pain in his body. “Ow, that burns,” is what he says after being unable to get up from the bed which was accompanied by a rattling sound. And at the same time, his eyes land on all three of us that are in here with him in the room.He expresses shock at first and then confusion. But then he seems to gather himself and say, “What are you guys doing in my room? Did you tie me down like this?” He then exclaims at the end after another rattling sound that came with his struggle to sit up, “Ow!”I
