We returned back to our spot after a few hours of playing around in the woods."Omg, that was soooo fun." She screamed, sitting on a lot of wood. I froze when I heard footsteps walking into the woods, still quite far away though. But I could hear it closely, probably because I was still in my wolf form."Shit, you have to shift back in your human form." She must've heard it too, because she immediately stood up, already alert.Shit! How do I shift back?! This is my first time doing this and I have no idea how any of this works out. Thankfully, after a few deep breaths to calm myself down I finally did it, standing on the ground completely bare. To make things faster, Linda grabbed my clothes and pushed them to me. In less than a minute I was already dressed, brushing my fingers through my messy hair, trying to make it straight. Surprisingly, Noah showed up right where we were, like he was here searching for us. "There's a ceremony going on." He began speaking as soon as he was stand
*The Next day*I wasn't spared today, Nina made sure to come wake me up herself very early this morning. I'm not complaining though, I'm pretty used to all the works already, but everything today was quite different. I received lot of cussed from Nina due to how slow I was today. Well, anyone in my shoes would be the same after what happened last night. I have never seen him so vulnerable.I heaved out a deep sigh for the umpteenth time, leaning against the wall of the store room. What if he is not so cruel like I thought and was just pretending to be one heartless alpha just got reputation? He isn't as scary as everyone thinks he is? The way I saw him yesterday totally changed my thinking about. Who the hell is Serena? She must've someone very important to him maybe, romantically important though, cause there'll be no way he'd kiss me if they weren't that close. I guess if I need answers to my numerous questions I better ask Linda, she must definitely know who it is?I walked out o
“Are you sure about this?” I asked as soon as we were seated in the car, I didn't really like the idea of leaving the pack. What if we get into trouble over there? Or even trouble with Damien?“You worry too much Bella, no one would find out, only if we don’t tell anyone, no one at all.” She spoke and without a second thought, ignited the car engine and drove away, heading outside the pack.Minutes later we were already past the pack, driving through the streets of the big human city. “You sure you know where you’re going?” I asked in concern, noticing she has been driving through a particular street over and over again.“Yes, I just wanted to be sure about something, well here we are.” She muttered as she stopped in front of a library, staring outside the window. “This is definitely it, so much changes to confuse me, come on let’s go in.”“Okay,” I unstrapped the seat beat around me, ready to leave the car when she suddenly yelled.“Wait!”“What is it?” She did not give a reply yet a
“Huh? What are they?” I asked, now most confused.“Huh? You don’t know about them?” Linda asked in surprise, glancing at me before focusing back on the road.“Hey, don’t look at me like that; you know how I grew up.”“They are wolf hunters Bella, they hunt wolves, they hunt us!” “Oh, that’s pretty bad; we better get back to the pack on time.”“And that is one thing we can’t do, we can’t lead them to the pack, or else we’ll be putting everyone’s lives in danger.” She was practically yelling as she kept driving round and round.“So what do we do?”“I don’t know, we just have to lose them, or else everybody dies.” The way she said it made me regret agreeing with her to come here in the first place, if I knew there was something called that, I would never agree to come here.“Can you call for backup from the pack? We definitely need help here.”“Huh, we can’t do that! You know how much trouble we would be in if Damien finds out we left the pack, and we would have no choice than to tell h
Bella's POVSoon we arrived back at the pack, making sure to find out way back to Linda's house without getting seen by anybody. I plopped down on the sofa, letting out several pants and closed my eyes, trying to catch my breaths."Are you okay?" Linda asked in concern as she sat beside me. I could feel her boring into my skin, but I didnnot reply at first, waiting till I was quite calm."No, I'm not! There's no way I'd be." I replied after a few minutes, placing my hands on my chest. There were blood stains on the coat I was wearing, making me realize how much I was bleeding. "It's fine Bella, we lost them and thankfully, we're safe now." "What?! Lost them?! Or killed them?!!" I flared up in anger, placing both of my palms on the side of my head. My hands were trembling, I was hell scared of what I did, this would be the first time I'd ever kill anyone by myself and not be controlled by the stealer wolf. And it's the worst moment of my life! Why did I even speak in the first place?
Okay, what the hell just happened?I was very sure this wasn't a dream or hallucinations due to how hard Lavender was glaring at me. But I was more confused on why he'd do that? He hates me, though there's some kind of doubt now that he might be pretending but I never expected him to do that. At least not to Lavender, she was his Luna and should probably have that right just like him, but I think things were different than I thought.Lavender turned to me, glaring hard at me, obviously embarrassed at what just happened before storming away. Looks like Linda has a lot to hear now. Seeing the maids now put all focus on me, I grabbed my equipment, walking out of the gardens.Damien's POV"Alpha Zane already gave feedback he received the package, he said he'd like to do more business with us." I rubbed my fingers against my temple as Lucas gave reports of all our deals with other packs."Okay okay, I'll talk to you later." I said dismissively, waiting for him to leave. I just need a litt
"But.... But how could they? We haven't been in contact with the humans for so long, how?" I went utterly confused, wondering how they were able to find us or even figure out we still existed after all their efforts to make us go extinct."Alpha I heard they found two wolves in their city, that must be the lead they got." Anger flared in me immediately he replied. Who the hell left the pack secretly just to go look for trouble for me? Especially from the hunters!!"Gather as much information as you can, George. We'll work on security here for now.""Yes, Alpha." He replied before finally breaking the link.Being in trouble with the Russian armies was one thing, one easy thing. But being in trouble with the hunters? That sounds like a never ending problem. I know how bad they are and how they grew from just mere wolf hunters to some kinds of scientists, capturing wolves to make painful experiments on them.I did not want to think of what would happen if they attacked us first, with the
"What do you mean? We weren't the only ones not available at the packhouse. We have no idea who did it and are just worried as you might be. So, excuse us." Linda spoke harshly, ready to leave but she raised her hand, stopping us again."Well, if you're so sure about this. Why is Bella not saying a word? What? You can't figure out some lies just like she did." She smirked, raising her brows."I don't understand why you're saying this Lavender, you know what just keep your suspicion to yourself. I have better things to do than this. You've always been looking for every possible way to get on my nerves and this is just one of your silly ideas." It took a lot to say those words, but that was the only that would keep alive, well just for a little bit if Damien doesn't end up finding out about it himself.Linda did not wait any more second before pulling me down the stairs with her. Just then the door to the packhouse went open and Zoe rushed into the house, pulling her daughter along wit
