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
"Who's saying those words?" Hannah asked.There are invariably more avenues of investigation than there are clues. Hannah and Louis went completely still, holding their hands at their sides as they waited for the other person to continue speaking.They rotate their heads slowly, making no effort to appear as though they are looking in any other direction. Even though both of them had looked everywhere in great detail, it never led to any information that they were looking for.Hannah looks at the walls, turns her head towards the direction she thinks the statement is coming from and strained her ears to hear anything that could be there. None arrives. Since they have been absent, for the first first time, their face has fully collapsed, and there is no longer any mask to wear as a means of surviving.Hannah and Louis' eyes keep darting across the room, and their feet keep going faster and faster until she feels like she may spin around. She comes to a complete halt, her lips quivering
The Next Morning!After all that took place the day before, here we are at the beginning of a fresh new day! Because I was always keeping an eye on my father during the night, I never got nearly enough sleep. Now it's time to travel back to the house, where I would rest for a while.After Luna Catherine had departed with the guard the previous night, I remained up the whole night ruminating on what I had seen. My mind could not get itself around how she winked at the Guard.Before Mona and Alpha Derrick's engagement can take place, I just have to be at my father's side and look out for him before that moment arrives. Considering his present condition, I can't continue being with him if I have been reduced to the status of a slave. And I am well aware that, if I am no longer around, he would be neglected by everyone else.Since he assisted me in delaying their engagement, I feel that this is the very least I can do for him to demonstrate my gratitude and appreciation for his assistance
The other members of the pack were what I could make out in front of me as I glanced up.On the entire structure, there was not even the slightest hint of a scratch to be found anywhere. People are entering and exiting the building in the same manner as normal.When I first noticed this, I couldn't help but wonder what exactly could be going on. The night before, the security guard informed us that the company had been intentionally burned down. My father passed out as a result of the shocking information, and he is currently in a coma as a direct result of that information. Why do I seem to be seeing something different right now?"What exactly is taking place here?" I rubbed both of my palms together to clear my vision before conducting a second sweep of the company's front entrance. Everything is the same as before! Nothing untoward has transpired about it. I didn't waste any time and rushed over there as quickly as I could to find out what was going on.As soon as I walked through
