We walked for about an hour. We parked our cars before the beginning of the jungle. The road was narrowed. The trees got thicker. I was confused about the distraction. I was following them behind the torch lights. Edward was holding Elizabeth's hand. "Why do all supernatural beings pick to be in the jungle?" I asked, snorting. "It's safe, away from humans." Drake said. "I don't think so. We can be dangerous in any way," I said. "Better. Keep distance. They're not supposed to know about us." Jasper said, in a serious way. I didn't say a word and kept walking. The silence was giving me a spooky feeling. Mr. Wolf offered me the job. It clearly explained, they knew about me. They knew everything. But they are scared of the consequences. I did not want to think about it. That was in the past. The path was so quiet. My gaze was turning every time to my wrist. It was a relief to know that there was no danger around me. The rustling o
It was a great time before the slaughter. I was glad I could spend time with them. My friends were tired. So they hurried to their rooms. Ava was behind them. I didn't see him after he disappeared in the dark. "Good night, kiddo." Drake kissed my head before taking the stairs. His rare gaze turned to Luke and they nodded at each other. I couldn't understand them and their nodding. When Drake was upstairs I whirled to Luke, "You don't need to do this against your will. I can talk to Charles." I told him. He shook his head, "I didn't do this so you could talk to Dad. I was wrong. You're not as bad as I thought you would be." He said. My eyes narrowed at him, "Did someone try to poison your ears against me?" I asked. "Doesn't matter," He shoved his hands in his jeans pockets and climbed the stairs, quicker than I could imagine. Instead of turning to my room, I turned to my mother's room. She would be awake. I was hoping. I'd say h
I excused myself. The dinner was essential for me. I could see my family, and friends together under the same roof before anything unpleasant happened to me. I didn't know what to expect in the future. I wasn't even certain. Would I be breathing or not? I closed the door of the washroom behind me. I stifled a shudder. The washroom was giant enough for six people. It felt colder than I remember. I couldn't deny the spooky feeling. I couldn't rein in the other shudder that ran through my body. I heard several voices in my ears. It was impossible. I was in the washroom. It was disturbing. I placed my hands over my ears. I couldn't block the voices. It got louder. Whatever the mayhem was, it wasn't from my surroundings. After a few seconds, it fell quiet. Gradually, I peeled my hands, bringing them down to my side. I darted my gaze around, moving on my feet slowly. My heart gave loud beats before turning to a normal rhythm. I shook my head i
My smile faded to a worried frown the moment she closed the door behind her. I was more than a werewolf. Fire Queen! What did that mean? I had to find a way to reach reality. I grabbed my phone. I should talk to Mr. Morris. I messaged him quickly to see, could he meet me? I pulled in a huge breath of air as I tried to relax. My phone pinged after a second. He was in the meeting hall. It wasn't far from our house. There must be Alphas meeting tonight. I jumped on my feet and rushed to the kitchen. I could hear Mom humming in a strange tone. She was happy. I was so relieved to know. My phone buzzed. I twirled and glanced over it. My heart shuddered in dread and I jumped on my feet. I scooted to the door and didn't look back at anyone. My inner voice screeched at me. He had helped us a lot, first by providing me a job when no one wanted me near them because we stayed separately from our father. Nobody knew us. So they considered what the
She kept on pulling me. I gazed at the castle with steady eyes. I never faced so many surprises in my life before. I saw people with wings. They were so beautiful. It was hard to take my eyes off of them. I could bet I wasn't the only one with a shocked expression, dropped jaw. They were looking at us in shock, awe, perplexity, and disbelief. I could hear murmurs reaching my ears. "I'm an angel." She whispered. My head jerked to her. I stared at her back. There were two long scars on her back, "Where are your wings? Are you hurt?" I gasped. Tears blinded my version. I was thankful for her gripping my hand, "He did this?" I asked, shocked and a surge of anger coursed through me. I wanted to hurt him. She glanced over her shoulder. Her old torn gown was backless. It must be a beautiful dress someday. Her eyes shone with water but she didn't cry, "Yes," I glanced at her in terror. I opened my mouth but tears streamed down. I didn't want to think what she wo
Chapter One His grin was of pure happiness as he looked down at the twin newborn baby girls. "I can never forget the time when my daughter was born." Emotions coated Alpha's voice. His eyes turned glassy. Her smile faded a little. She glanced at her babies draped in a white soft cloth. One of them was also wrapped with a small warm blanket. The left one was fisting her hands in the air, grasping a toothless smile on her angelic face. "She's a wolf. A strong one, Lance." Her voice was painful recalling her dead girl. Her amber eyes lifted up and met with her husband. They shared a concerned look. Her second baby was sleeping. She was the younger one. Her eyes turned to her babies and she brushed her fingers on their heads one by one. It lingered longer on the younger one. Charles rested his hand on her shoulder. Her forehead was covered with sweat. It has been more than an hour since she brought two lives into this world. She was worried about her younger one.
Chapter Two Emersyn Quarles Dawson. I wrote my name on the first page of my mathematics book. I love to do maths and everything humans do. I'm born into a shifter family. My cousin, Jasper Quarles is the Alpha, my stepbrother, Luke is the beta, and my brother Drake is the alpha too. Katherine Dawson and Lancelot Dawson are my parents on paper. They adopted me from my real parents, Carla and Charles. My mother, Carla Quarles baptized me. My father, Daddy C, has one son from his first wedding and my mother has three children from her first wedding. Her middle child, Emersya Nelson Dawson died after breaking the curse. She was a queen. A queen cursed her. Everly, my elder sister told me this. Mother C said I reminded her of her. So, she gave me her name. I was okay with that. If my mother was happy. I was happy too. We weren't alike in any matter. She was a fire queen and a werewolf. When I was five, our house caught fire. My skin burnt, on the inner side of my left arm. The p
Chapter Three Jasper took out an envelope out of his pants pocket. My lips parted in shock seeing the Royal red seal over it. It was issued by Queen Reina. She's the headmaster of all academies, and head of the council of Nine, SevenA which is known as NineA, a team of powerful Alphas. Nine means the most powerful nine Alpha. She's the head of them, like our goddess on the earth. My cousin, Jasper, and Drake are part of Nine. The others are Alessandro, Edward, Daniel, and Carlos. The two spots are waiting for the rightful heirs and The king. I have heard my half-sister Ava saying that King would come and reclaim his position. I never heard any prophecy saying that the king and queen will return. But everyone believes. My mother gulped and locked her eyes on me. My shoulders sagged, and I wanted to slide under the table. "Why are you looking at me, Mom?" I asked, not liking it. Her this-look brings only restrictions for me. Neglecting my question, sh
