HAYLEY.

“Jesus Christ,” Corey mutters, staring at the torn garage door. “What the hell could… Who could’ve done this?”

“I don’t know,” Lucas replies shakily. “I had my headphones on and I didn’t hear a thing.”

I step closer to the garage door and trace the jagged edge of the gaping hole. It’s huge, easily big enough for someone to crawl through. “I think someone broke in.”

“But who?” Lucas asks, shuddering. “There’s nothing in there worth stealing.”

“Guys,” Corey cuts in, “we’re missing the point here. Where’s Axel?”

A heavy silence settles between us, until I break it. “We need to find him.”

“What?” Corey exclaims, turning to face me. “Search for him? Hayley, it’s late. Where would we even start?”

“We can’t just sit around and do nothing,” I respond, my voice starting to tremble. “His phone’s off, there’s a huge hole in the garage door, and for all we know, he could’ve been taken.”

“Kidnapped? Oh my God, Hayley… I mean…” Corey trails off, clearly shaken.

  • Beneath The Moon: A Dawnblood Prophecy   Chapter 026: Origins (1)

    AXEL. “And that is why the human body does not—” DRRRRING! The loud ring of the school bell interrupts Mrs. Cooper’s biology reading, signaling the end of class. Finally free from her boring rendition of the human digestive system, students hastily stuff their books into their bags as chatter emanates all over the room. “That'll conclude our lesson for today,” she announces. “Now, kindly make your way to the library for our literature session.” Exhausted groans ripple through the class before students begin filing out one by one. Throwing my bag over my shoulder, I step into the hallway and start to head toward the library—until a firm hand seizes my shoulder. Startled, I turn around and my eyes land on Shane, alongside Rakim and Miles. He glances down the hall, waiting until Mrs. Cooper disappears around the corner before whispering in a low voice. “Follow me.” With that, he spins around and starts walking. “Hold on,” I call after him. “To where?” He turns back t

  • Beneath The Moon: A Dawnblood Prophecy   Chapter 025: Watched

    HAYLEY. Taken aback by the sight before me, I stand fixated by the door with my mouth gaping slightly in stunned surprise. The sheer contrast between what I thought could be an accident behind these doors a few seconds ago, and what I'm staring at has me gobsmacked. All that commotion… just for sex? Seriously? Ivy’s moans break my reverie, and just as quickly as I opened it, I slam the door shut before hurrying toward the stairs.So much for a party experience. An awkward mix of embarrassment and annoyance course through me as I slip out of the house and head for the gates, barely noticing the throng of people scattered along the path. I’m almost at the exit when a voice behind me calls out.“Hayley?”I whirl around to find Axel a few feet away. What in the world is he doing here? But I don't ask the question out loud. We both halt, sharing a mutual look of surprise at the unexpected sight of each other here.“Hi,” I murmur, sticking to the same hollow greeting that's become cus

  • Beneath The Moon: A Dawnblood Prophecy   Chapter 024: Parties Are Messy

    HAYLEY. I would swear I hate parties. They’ve never, ever been my thing. Yet here I am, despite Corey’s best attempts to stop me, standing at the gates of a white, luxurious mansion for what Shane called a birthday party. I still can't wrap my head around why I’d obliged him. Perhaps it was because of how random the invitation had come—right after our biology practicals as a pair yesterday. Or maybe it was the thrill of pretending, just for once, that I could have a small slice of youthful, social living. But whatever it was, the feeling starts to dwindle as I approach the enormous doors. I can already feel the heavy thrum of music reverberating through the mansion’s walls. On getting to the door, I knock half-heartedly. Surely there’s no way anyone could hear a knock over the loud music pounding from inside the house. And just as I thought, no response comes. Idly standing on the porch now, my eyes take in the magnificence of the building. Draped in white and gold, the house c

  • Beneath The Moon: A Dawnblood Prophecy   Chapter 023: Karma

    AXEL. When Shane told me to meet him at a birthday party tonight, this was definitely not what I had imagined. I'd looked forward to a simple indoor gathering with a few people in attendance, tops. But not this crowded, all-out birthday bash here at Rakim’s. I glance at my watch for the upteenth time and it reads 8:30 p.m. Which means I've spent the past thirty minutes since I arrived here, vaguely waiting for Shane to show up. Taking another long look at the party all around me, I resign myself to go in search of him. But as I rise from the plush cushion where I’ve sat for the last half hour, I realize that finding Shane will be a much harder task than I anticipated. The sheer number of people in and around the house is just unbelievable. It's a crowd befitting a carnival to say the least. Slowly, I start to make my way through the spacious sitting room, observing the scenes around me as I scan for any sign of Shane. There's a rowdy ping pong game being played at the

  • Beneath The Moon: A Dawnblood Prophecy   Chapter 022: The Wolf Of Silver Creek

    AXEL. “Dude I'm telling you, I really think she’s into me too.” For what feels like the hundredth time, I roll my eyes at Lucas’s excitement. “I hear you, bro. You scored,” I cheer for him, tossing an arm over his shoulder. “I gotta be grateful to you though,” he grins, turning to face me. “Thank God you didn’t let me partner with you.” A cunning sneer starts to curl on his lips. “Be honest, there's no way you would’ve identified that organ,” he sniggers, throwing his head back in laughter. “Ha-ha,” I mutter sarcastically as I push him away, holding back my amusement. It's almost sunset when we step outside to join the crowd of students already heading home. We’re almost at the garage when a sleek, white car pulls up to the curb, just in time to collect its usual passengers: the Watson twins. A elderly chauffeur steps out and quickly opens the back door for the girls, bowing his head slightly. Ivy climbs in first without as much as a glance to the chauffeur. But just

  • Beneath The Moon: A Dawnblood Prophecy   Chapter 021: A Race Against Time

    AXEL. Beads of sweat starts to form on my brow as my eyes shift from the scalpel to Ivy, and back to the scalpel. Contact with silver is death sentence for any werewolf and I know I can’t touch the scalpel. Perhaps I could hold it for a few seconds at best, but even then, it'll burn fast and hard. Mrs. Cooper clears her throat, signaling her presence next to us. “Is everything alright over here?” “Yes, Mrs. Cooper,” Ivy answers in a soft, cheery voice—nothing like the abrasive tone she'd used moments ago. “We're making significant progress,” she adds, lightly tapping her goggles and flashing a bright smile. Mrs. Cooper nods in satisfaction and continues down the row. As soon as she’s gone, Ivy glares at me again, her eyes urging me toward the scalpel. I try to reason with her. “Listen Ivy, I can’t do it. Whatever you’ve read about werewolves and silver, they're—” “Perhaps I should tell the whole class what I saw," she cuts me off. "Starting with Mrs. Cooper.” Immediate
