"Leave.""Rin…" I didn't miss the concern in Rose's voice. She was sitting at the edge of my bed as she tried her best to comfort me. However I didn't want her to comfort me. I want to be left alone. I curled up on the bed and faced away from her so she could get the hint.I felt bitter and empty. Her presence didn't help calm me down like it used to before knowing she will report to her Alpha anyway. Her intentions were pure and sincere but I knew at the end of the day, she will always report to him. I hate him. I truly hate him."I'm here if you ever need me.""Please…" I continued to sob. "I only wish to be left alone."Her eyes were on me for a while before she withdrew her hand that had touched my arm as a means to comfort me. I couldn’t deny its warmth even if I was being stubborn. She released a deep sigh and then got up."Call me if you need anything, dear. I will always be here for you." Rose then quietly left the room.I cried for the rest of the day. And I thought I ran ou
NasrinI kept walking and walking mindlessly. The voice pulled me towards her. It made me forget everything and just focused on it. All of a sudden, I woke up from the daze. I realized that I was already near the cliff, a huge full moon shining brightly in the night sky right in front of me. I looked around and I was shocked that I had come this far. I noticed that I wasn’t wearing any shoes or slippers. I had walked here barefoot and yet despite the distance, my feet didn’t hurt.“Nasrin.” The same voice pulled me out of my thoughts, a shadow covered my form.I looked up and was shocked to see a massive white wolf with glowing blue eyes looking straight at me. I was in awe of the wolf's majestic form. She looks so beautiful and ethereal.She… Somehow I know she’s a female and despite still being a beast, I’m not afraid of her. I stared at her, unable to speak, too stunned by her beauty.“What’s your name?” I asked as I reached my hand to touch her. I remembered that everyone's wolve
Chapter 38NasrinAs soon as I came crashing into the water, a huge blinding white light suddenly engulfed me. I closed my eyes at the intensity. I don’t know how long it had been but when I came to, I was already at the shore. The waterfall was right in front of me.I felt that there was something different about me. I see my surroundings differently… more sharply. I feel powerful and stronger. I looked down and saw that instead of my legs, it was furry paws. I had shifted.I was shocked because I thought if I was going to finally shift, I’d be going through that excruciating pain again. The part where my bones would break countless times was the worst. Although the preparation for my shifting helped me, I was terrified of the actual shifting part.I don't know what just happened that I’m suddenly magically shifted into my wolf form with no effort… except that jump. And then it clicked why I suddenly have the urge to do that.The moon goddess must be real…I held the thought when I n
I shouldn’t be surprised that the house was practically in the same state before and after I left. It goes to show that they never went home. My luggage was in the same place right where I left it, beside the couch. Good, I don’t have to pack again. “Rin…” I tensed. I almost forgot that he came with me. “You’re leaving, aren’t you?” My back was facing him and I didn't have the stomach to turn around and face him.After all, Caleb had become a part of my life that I could never forget. I’m still reasonable enough to know that he truly never wanted to harm me. And going after me to help me escape was an act of betrayal towards his Alpha. It must have been difficult for him to choose me over him.That was something I managed to think through as we ran for miles and miles. The run had calmed me down too. And though I’m still mad and hurt, his sincerity softened me.“I know… I know that… I’ve hurt you. I don’t have any excuses for that. I could have put an effort to call out our Alpha’s
LucanI had never expected my Delta to betray me. My own pack member. I should’ve known. He was close to her to the point it irked me to the core. I burned watching them so close together. They were building a relationship I would crush in the palm of my hand.I guess it was the reason why I specifically chose him to escort her to the border knowing he’ll never disobey my command. I don’t get why he’d rather betray his Alpha. Does he love her? Cause I will fucking kill this fucker if he does.“Lucan, that’s enough!” Alina appeared before us.I was too outraged to listen to her. I knew no wolf could stop me from beating my Delta to death. They all fear my wrath. Alina was probably the only one who had the guts to stop me. She is no wolf and therefore, isn’t easily affected by an Alpha command.“Lucan, stop! If you kill him, do you think your mate will ever forgive you?!” My fist stopped midair as the realization dawned on me. I glared at Alina who had managed to stop me by mentioning
NasrinFour months later“Clove!” I gleefully waved my hand in the air so she could see me amongst the crowd.Clover’s face brightened as soon as she saw me. She ran towards me amidst the busy crowd in the hallways of our university. “Rin!” She engulfed me with a hug while wearing an ear splitting grin on her face. “You just know when to appear, don’t you?” She released a content sigh. I laugh knowing she was already expecting the food I made in my cooking class. I always brought some for her. She usually shares it with Gab but most of the time not. She made it obvious that she was my number one fan.I go to culinary classes whenever I have the time. I decided to leave Literature and proceed to business instead. Mythical creatures and the novels I read were one of the reasons why I wanted to take Literature. But the memories it carried brought me pain and misery. Business was more reasonable. My family was filthy rich, I found out in their accounts. It’s only fair that I know how to
Two years laterNasrin“Congratulations, graduates!”On cue, we tossed our cap in the air as we all cheered. Clover, Gab and I were searching for each other when we finished congratulating our seatmates and friends. As soon as all met, we hugged and squealed in excitement.“Finally!” Gabrielle sighed. “God I can finally sleep.” We laughed at her antics. It had been sleepless nights for us just so we could finalize every project and assignment before getting to the finish line which is here, our graduation day. I think we were more excited to finish everything and just chill than the graduation itself. It was stressful after all but it was worth it. “Do you wanna join us?” Clover asked me. “My parents and siblings are here to celebrate with me. They’d be happy to have you join us.”I smiled at her. “Thank you, Clove, but I’m fine.” They both eyed me with a concerned look. I know they’re worried that I’ll be celebrating alone. “My friend’s here to celebrate with me.”They both raised a
“Do you always come here?” Caleb asked as we made our way through the crowd. There were people partying, dancing, getting wasted, others not minding other people’s business and just came here probably to just drink and have a good time.“Not really. Parties aren’t exactly my thing. You know that. I couldn’t actually keep up with this.” I said. Our voices were neutral as if there wasn’t music blasting all over the club. With our hearing, we could hear each other even if we whispered.“Right.” He responded dryly.“You don’t approve?” I asked teasingly. We still haven’t found my friends.“You know my take on this. Humans are bound to commit a sin in this place.” I laugh at him. He sounded like a prude old man.“Relax. It’s not why we came here anyway. If Gab and Clove wanted that, it’s their choice.” I shrug. “I just want to have fun with them before we go our separate ways.”“Sorry, Rin. I didn’t want to ruin your night this early.” His apology was sincere.“I know.” I grin. “I actually
