The sight of both of them stunned not only my dad, but also me. He had no idea that Mona would ever be in this location. I could see by the expression on his face how disheartened he was, to meet the child for whom he had previously provided a character reference.Mona and Alpha Derrick were both taken aback when they finally laid eyes on us. They seem to have been shocked by the sight of another person at this location, as seen by the astonished expressions on their faces."I said it, Dad! Mona is the one responsible for the abduction of Hannah and Louis! The other day, first thing in the morning, she told me directly!" I let out a shout while casting a glance at Mona, who was still clinging to Alpha Derrick's arm."Kimberly, watch your mouth and whatever you say!" Mona yelled fiercely at me while pointing her index finger in my direction. "I am in no way responsible for the kidnapping of your friends! Put an end to making accusations against me without any evidence!""What more evid
**Flashback**"Stop right there!!" Almost as soon as they emerged from the basement, the three of them heard a voice from behind them, which caused them to pause and turn around..."Where on earth do you all believe you're going?" Joey inquired furiously.Hannah was lowered down carefully from the stranger's shoulder and was instructed to remain behind them. "We don't want any trouble, so please let us go!" The words were authoritatively spoken by the stranger."Who the hell do you think you are to tell the rest of us what to do?" The yell came from Gilbert. "Which gender are you, a man or a woman? Make your identity known this minute!" He ordered."My true identity is not necessary for any of you to know! Please excuse my consideration, but could we just leave in peace?"Hannah and Louis are mystified by the stranger's apparent assurance voice. They were shocked to find someone willing to speak up for them in such a public manner. However, they continued to speculate as to the gender
**Fremantle City, Western Australia.** There was a structure that went all the way up to the cloud that was entirely devoted to gaming on each of its levels. Some slides allowed one to descend many stories at once. It also contained elevators, but since having fun was seen as being so vital, slides were incorporated into the design as well. There were the pods that moved on tracks around the exterior, but they weren't used for transporting people; rather, they served more as a kind of chaotic carnival ride. Then there were the components that converted energy from the sun and wind into power, and there were also the floors that had seats with butterflies parked on them. Restaurants, movie theatres, and bowling lanes were all located inside the structure itself. They were entertaining, and everyone who worked in the building also lived there, and they completely forgot what it meant to be lonely. In one of the rooms in the facility is a collection of cutting-edge technologies, the m
Almost immediately as we took a few steps back, Alpha Derrick abruptly opened both of his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and looking into them was a scary experience. We were too terrified to stare into the eyes because they became brilliant red and flashed brightly across the whole room.Alpha Derrick was in a state of semi-consciousness in which he was not self-aware and he did not respond to external stimuli. This condition prevented Alpha Derrick from being aware of his surroundings. However, it seems that he is capable of working toward and achieving his goal.Things of this kind do not occur very often at all. Even though we are all werewolves, we continue to live our everyday lives as usual. Some people in the outer world are not aware that we are werewolves.To stay under the radar of law enforcement, each pack operates a business, and we also mix in with the general population. The fact that Alpha Derrick just showed his authority to me in this way is really impressive.The
"What are we up to, dad? We've been going in circles this whole time!" Mona said before coming to a complete stop in her path. The manner that she was perspiring heavily gave the impression that she was really tired."There she goes again!" I whispered something to myself as I turned my gaze away from her eyes. Because of her, we have been forced to halt our progress three times already, and the fact that she is the reason is beginning to irritate me.Even though it is now past three in the afternoon, we still have no idea how to get out of this forest. I believed as we stepped out through the door earlier, we were transported to a new place.We have been going around in circles, but we can't quite up just yet even if Mona has pointed out that this is the case. We are going to have to continue doing all in our power to find a way out of this predicament."Mona dear, I fully understand how disheartened you are with all that is going on, but I beg you to have patience. It is getting clo
These following few hours would either go down as a blip in the timeline of his life, or they would be the ultimate trauma that would destroy him. Either way, it was possible that he would succumb to it.Steve clenched his palm around the phone hard, as he realized that his body needed to recover from the shock quickly, or else he would die of worry. Steve walked back and forth across the room, his eyes fixed icily on his cell phone while he did so. He did not stop moving for even a second.When the memory of finding out where Shane may be at the moment emerged, he would choke back his saliva, urging his eyes to stay dry and his mind to remain concentrated. At other times, he would force himself to concentrate.When Steve's attention continued being drawn to the phone, which was stubbornly refusing to ring, he unexpectedly unlocked the device so that he could make a call. In the beginning, he attempted to contact Shane by dialling his number; however, the phone rang many times but n
It's been three hours since we took my dad to the pack hospital, and he still isn't conscious yet, even though we brought him here early. The state of his health is becoming an increasing concern of mine.My father will celebrate his seventieth birthday in two months. In the time that I've known him, this is the second time that he's been admitted to a hospital. I never would have guessed that he was going through any kind of discomfort on the inside since he is usually so nimble in everything that he does.Within the ward where he is located in, there are currently a doctor, as well as two nurses, providing medical care to him. I get the impression that something severe must have occurred to him because of the constant movement of the nurses back and forth between the rooms.As soon as I realized I couldn't contain my emotions any longer, I got to my feet in the waiting area and walked inside the room. "Doctor, how is my father doing right now?" My tone was solemn and anxious as I ap
"Put all your worries about the business behind you, dad! Your physical health and emotional well-being should come before anything else. To determine the company's current condition, I shall go check on it first thing tomorrow morning." I committed myself to making my promise to him."Nevertheless, I am interested in retracing my steps and seeing how things transpired from my point of view. You must explain what happened, and who was responsible to set ablaze the Moonstone firm.""Okay, dad. After you have been discharged from the hospital, we will go there together! Since that's something you're comfortable with." I gave him the information and then touched his palm pleasantly. "Things are going to turn around for the better soon!""Alright, and a million thanks for your care, my love."Following a period spent in conversation with him, he eventually resumed his slumber. After seeing that he was deep asleep, I got up gently. I quietly left the room so as not to wake him. I didn't ma
