Sean slowly opened his eyes, at first couldn't see anything but the light aiming directly to his eyes, he rubbed his eyes with both palm, tried opening them a second time.Only to see Naria standing beside the white long curtains, she was the one who had opened it, enabling the light into the room.Naria just stood there with the gentle smile on her face."Good morning sean", she said softly.Sean, still feeling a bit sleepy, blinked his eyes a few times, getting up to rest on his back on the pillows."Good morning Naria", he replied, his voice a little rough from sleep."Sorry, if i had disturbed your sleeping", Naria said moving to the wall close to the door side.Sean slightly smiled at her."It's cool, just wondering how it was that I didn't here you coming in", he said digging his fingers into his dreads."Was thinking about the same thing"."Hmmโฆ.. I guess is cause i slept late that's whyโฆ. But I'm ok, don't worry yourself "Sean assured her." Ok then, I'll leave you to freshen

"Wake up," a voice whispered urgently in my head. I came to with a gasp, jerking upright and gasping for air. I stared around, trying to determine where I was. It was barely dawn, the skies still a little bit dark, and the moon starting to sink below the horizon. I tried to climb to my feet, but ended up stumbling to the ground, feeling too weak and drained. What the hell was going on? My memories were foggy at best, but I could remember going to the zoo, and then_ Oh goddess. I jumped to my feet, sudden energized. I needed to figure out where I was and how I'd gotten here. I had a feeling I knew how I had gotten here though, the main question was how much damage had I done. "The beast went this way!" I heard someone cry, "I can see it's footprints." I held my breath as I heard the sound of boots crunching against dried leaves and twigs. And then I saw flash lights waving around. People were coming this way and apparently, they were in search of a beast. There wa

The goosebumps prickling her arms as she walked toward the bed werenโt the pleasant kindโand they definitely didnโt come from the chilly air.No.Every time she blinked, all she could see was the fire.What if it had gotten worse?What if sheโd killed someone... or herself?She shuddered, collapsing onto the bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.This whole thing was starting to feel more surreal by the second, and by now, she shouldโve been used to it.Used to the fact that she wasnโt just some ordinary werewolfโthat somehow, impossibly, she had magic.But the more she could do, the scarier it became.Like each new ability peeled back a layer of the truth: the world was counting on her.A tremor racked through her, and she shut her eyes tightly, praying it would all just disappear.But ohโif wishes were horses.Here she was, nearly burning down the kitchen, and the fate of the world was apparently sitting on her shoulders.Even if she did manage to master this... magic, what chance did
The cold morning air was sharp and clean, laced with the kind of chill that bit at the skin and made you want to curl deeper beneath your blanket. It was the kind of morning that stole warmth and replaced it with memories.Sean pulled the blanket tighter around him, burying his face into the fabric. But the cold still crept inโnot just on his skin, but in his chest. The kind that no fire could chase away.He thought of her.Isabella.He could almost feel her heat against himโthe press of her body, the soft curve of her spine against his chest. That warmth had once melted every frozen part of him. Now, he was freezing again.โWhy crave her now, you coward?โAaronโs voice echoed in his mind, sharp and taunting.Sean closed his eyes and tried to imagine her instead. Themโtogether. Her smile. Her laugh. A lie maybe, but it was the only thing that dulled the ache.โSean, can you just stop!โ Aaron snapped. โSheโs not yours anymore. Toss those damn thoughts and focus on why weโre here. Iโm s
โWake up, sleepyhead!โ Caraโs voice rang out as she yanked the blanket off Isabellaโs body.โYouโve got training today, milady,โ she said in a sing-song tone. โIsaiahโs already waiting for you at the waterfall.โWith that, she spun around and marched out of the room.Isabella groaned and sat up slowly, dragging her feet off the bed like her bones weighed ten times more than usual. All she wanted was one lazy dayโjust one where she could sleep, ignore the world, and forget about her โchosen oneโ destiny.She barely made it to the bathroom before Cara barged back in, holding a steaming cup of tea.โI swear, if you donโt hurry, Isaiah is going to storm in here and drag your sleepy butt out of bed.โโI just needed to pee,โ Isabella muttered, rubbing her eyes.โDonโt be grumpy, little princess. Ten minutesโtops,โ Cara ordered, shoving her lightly toward the bathroom. โYouโre lucky I even made you tea.โAfter brushing and washing up, Isabella stepped out to find Cara sitting on the bed, sip
"Run, Bee,โ A voice echoed through her head as she tore through the woods, her little feet bare and aching, dashing against stones. โRun as fast as you can. Do not look back, do not stop, do not worry. I will find you soon,"She could see him in her mindโs eye. An old man standing at the edge of the forest, holding up a silver moon necklace that gleamed in the dark night. โRun Bee!โAnd she ran. For hours until her feet couldnโt take any more. She ran until her knees grew feeble. Until the trees morphed into cackling shadows around her, mocking the poor little girl lost in the forest. Bee fell to her knees, clamped her eyes shut, terrified to be all alone. The old man had promised to come. He would come with his shining necklace and all the dark shadows would be gone. And so she curled up on shrub covered ground and waited. But he never came. Isabellaโs eyes flashed open to see a gleaming white ceiling staring down rather boringly at her. She had the weird dream again. That was th

Oh myโฆ Noโฆ no.. "Isabella shocked, her body shaking in fear, her hands were trembling and her heart was racing very fast, she could literally hear the sound.She could feel the sweat all over her body making her torn dress which was covered with blood stick to her skin.She looked around as she realized that there were dead bodies all around her, blood was everywhere, the air was very thick and she could smell dead bodies everywhere.Her body was trembling so much that she could barely stand, her legs were weak and her knees as if they were shaking."Why did youโฆ.. This was all your fault, see what you causedโฆ.. See what you have brought upon us" she heard voices sayโฆ they were not just one voice, they were many."Our blood are on your handsโฆ. Don't forget that. Our blood is on your handsโฆ. Don't you dare forget thatโฆ ".The voices came echoing all over, she couldn't see anyone but the voices were clear and extremely loud.Isabella turned around severely trying to know if she could s
