I'm thinking of leaving Xavier again."I said at the nail salon with Mila and Ellen, and they looked over at me with pity in their eyes." Don't look at me like I said I'll drink acid, girls!" I said, and they blinked.
"The Irene problem, huh?" Mila asked, and I nodded sadly.
"I don't want to resort to making her life miserable," I replied. "But I just can't take it anymore. She's always making snide remarks and trying to one-up me. And don't even get me started on the baby. It's like Xavier has completely forgotten about me and everything we had."
Mila and Ellen exchanged a knowing glance. "Look, we get it," Ellen said. "But have you considered giving Xavier another chance? Maybe he just needs some time to come around and realize how much he's hurting you."
"I've given him plenty of chances," I retorted. "But it's like he doesn't care. And as for Irene, I don't
As I continued on my way, I realized that this was one of the most fulfilling experiences I had had in a long time. Helping to bring people together and create a sense of unity was truly rewarding.But my work was not yet done. There were still external threats to the castle, and we needed to be prepared for anything that might come our way.One day, as I was walking through the castle, I heard the sound of horns in the distance. I immediately ran to the walls to see what was happening.In the distance, I could see a group of raiders approaching the castle, their banners waving in the wind. The guards on the walls were scrambling to prepare for the attack.I knew that we had to act quickly. I raced to the queen's chambers to inform her of the impending attack. She quickly assembled her advisors and knights, and we began to prepare for the defense of the castle.The knights were ready and eager for battle, and the peasants were doing their part as well. They had been trained in basic c
I nodded, feeling grateful for her words. "I know, but I just don't know what to do. I feel so trapped."Becky leaned in, her voice soft and reassuring. "You're not trapped, sis. You always have options, even if they're not immediately clear. And remember, the only way to move forward is one step at a time."I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity wash over me. "You're right. I need to take things one step at a time. And right now, that means figuring out how to make things better for myself."Becky smiled, her eyes filled with pride. "That's the spirit. We'll figure it out together. And if you need to stay here for a while, that's perfectly fine. You're always welcome here."I nodded, feeling a sense of relief. "Thank you, Becky. I don't know what I would do without you."We spent the rest of the day talking, laughing, and reminiscing about old times. And as the sun began to set, I felt a sense of hope, of optimism for the future. I knew that I still had a long road ahead of
"She's cursed!" My glassy eyes ran around the hall as everyone backed away from me, and my heart was clouded with confusion. How did things get this way? I was born on a rare moon and this was a sign that I was going to be an early bloomer who was going to awaken her wolf at a young age, because of this my parents treated me like an egg, especially my father the Beta of the Greymoon pack. I was dotted upon, however, for my sister was born on a bad moon and everyone said that she was going to bring misfortune to the pack. But I didn't believe any of them. I loved my sister dearly and I would often defend her against those that would bully her. If anyone told me that I would become the object of scorn in her place I would have never believed it. If anyone had looked me in the eyes and said;"Clara, you are going to be viciously despised by your entire park and even your own family, I wouldn't have believed it." But it happened. And I wasn't ready for it. Some months befo
As the clock was getting closer to 12 I could feel the muscle spasms getting worse and my blood was suddenly boiling. I have been told that this was going to be a painful process especially since my body was still young and developing. "Argh!" I grunted, ripping my arm with the fingers on the other one.They said that the pain would only last the first time and then shifting it into my wolf would be a natural thing that I could do in the flick of a finger. And then when the clock finally hit 12 I fell down on my knees on all fours, and began to rub my head, tipped over to the roof and pointed at the moon one after the other. They began to fall after me and they were all lifting their heads and growling towards the moon. Bones around me snapping as if they were merely broomsticks under somebody's pressing fingers as I was struggling to do it and I bumped into somebody while my legs staggered. The hall and the faces around us began to spin until they melted into each other as i
Despite knowing that he was a rougue and that I was q bit far away from home in woods that are not familiar to me, I was so taken aback by how handsome he was. A scar ran from his right eye to the bottom of his chisel chain but that still didn't reduce his beauty rather it made him look more handsome in a fierce way. "Are you done gawking at me?" That was when I finally realised that I've been looking at him like an idiot, but I was trying to back away from him. He placed his hand that was free on my waist and held me closer to his chest. "Come on since you have gotten the chance to look at me then I should get to look at you a little bit. His finger left my chin and then went over to my neck sending shivers all over my body and then it ran into my hair giving me the unpleasant memory that it was now silver. "Silver hair huh?" that was the most relaxed expression that had gotten over my head the entire night, then suddenly I was remembering the man with the blue eyes. Suddenly
My sister suddenly started to laugh and I became more scared and worried going back on the bed. Then when she saw I was backing away she suddenly reached for my hand and grabbed it with her fingers. "Where are you going? It was just a joke!" I slapped her weakly across her shoulder."Becky, that wasn't funny at all, you really scared me!" I couldn't believe that I had thought my own sister would curse me. That would be completely heartless and Becky wasn't like that. But soon she was right about one thing.I began to understand how her life was, suddenly I was made to do all the chores in the house till the point that I would almost drop. My parents never talked about last night with me. It was almost as if they wanted to pretend that night didn't happen. However it was not for everyone else it didn't matter where I went to, there was always somebody that was talking about that night, and the moment they saw me they would either shiver away in fear or some would stare at me
That single moment that Jake threw me away it's like a thousand years stretched out, even though we're not actually mated by the moon goddess ever since I was 16 he was the only man I ever picture spending the rest of my life with…to have pups with. Now that things had suddenly come out he will not hesitate to reject me in front of everyone. Shock gripped me so tightly that I was not even able to get up from the floor, but there was even more misfortune that was coming my way. Jake turned to his father and said. "Father, we cannot end our wonderful relationship with the Greysons because of one mistake…" He just casually called me a mistake and my parents agreed, nodding as I looked at all of them with my jaw to the floor. Before the Alpha could even get the chance to respond he kept on speaking;"... And I'm sure that you feel sorry for your Beta his mate they definitely did not ask to be crossed with this one…" It was almost as if I wasn't even in the room at all, at this p
I opened my eyes slowly, unsure where I was or what I was doing there exactly. The room was brightly lit, and there was a woman at the foot of the bed seemingly arranging something in a little blue box. My sensitive nose picked up the scent of disinfectant immediately, and it nauseated me. "Where am I?" I croaked, surprised at my voice and wondering if the curse that changed my hair and turned me into an outcast overnight, had also managed to turn me completely into a toad with a croaky voice to match. "Oh, you are finally awake!" The young woman squealed when she saw that my eyes were open, eliciting a weird stare from me because how could anyone be so happy that I opened my eyes, when I wished that I would never ever open them up or be alive again. She ran out of the room apparently to go get the doctor or something. While she was away, I managed to sit up on the firm clean mattress, and sit weakly, looking at my body and feeling tears well up in my eyes again. How could my fa
