“Uh, guys.” Camille said, “You both need to calm down. We still haven’t solved the actual problem at hand.”“Which is?” Sarah asked.“Look, it’s obvious Lilliana wants to do this. For whatever reason, she wishes to be the one to take Doc down. And since we can’t convince her otherwise, we can only support her.”“Support her?” Sarah asked in shock, “On this suicide mission of hers? We should support her?” She scoffed in disbelief.“Yes.” Camille nodded emphatically, “You know what humans say- if you can’t beat them join them. We cannot dissuade Lilliana, so we can help her. Ensure she doesn't make any rash decisions that would put her life in danger.”“I am not going to make any rash decisions,” I said feeling affronted.“No, Camille’s right.” Sarah said agreeing with Camille, “You would take drastic measures.”“But I wouldn't,” I protested.“It seems you’re forgetting your wolf is coming out of latency. There will be times when it feels as though it is going to explode out of your hea
At some point, wanting a Moon mate had evolved from wanting them to love me to wanting them to rescue me from the hell that was my former pack. I must have gotten rid of those childish dreams after nothing happened for a long time. Plus, look at me now, my wolf was starting to come to the surface, I had access to shelter, education, and food. I mean, sure, there was someone who wanted me dead, but it was just one person. What’s the worst that could happen? “So,” Sarah began, dragging me from my reverie, “She was the one who told you to get involved in training, and that you two would find a balance between the lab and training. Hmm.” “Yep,” I replied, “That’s what she said.” “So what about school then? And having a social life? You can’t just focus too much on one aspect of things here. You need to find a balance.” I looked at her, “Social life? You two are my social life.” “Awwn.” Camille said, “As sweet as that sounds, you’re going to have to change that.” “What why?” I asked
“Well, I mean, I thought you already knew,” Camille said. I was back in the room where Camille and Sarah were prepping for the next day while I lay on the bed and recounted the conversation I had with Doc. “What? You thought I already knew?” I asked her. “Yeah. It was getting obvious at some point that your latency was reducing.” She said to me. “Huh, I had no idea,” Then I turned to Sarah, “How about you? Did you know?” “Indeed I did.” She responded, head not raised from the notes she was scribbling. “Um, ok. Why was everyone aware of this except me?” I said to them both. Camille sighed at me and shook her head in mock pity, Sarah also sighed but kept writing. “Guys?”I said, “Come on, say something. I'm not as well-versed as you two in the matters of the wolf self.” Camille snickered, “Wolf self? Please tell me that is not what you have been calling it?” “What else is it supposed to be called?” I asked with a shrug of my shoulders. “Um, not that.” “Technically, you can
She took water with shaky hands. The person before did not feel like the same person plotting world domination. I could tell that whoever died was someone important to her.I stood awkwardly in the room as she slowly drank her water, trying her best not to spill it. She cleared her throat once she was done.“Thank you.” She said to me, voice cracking a bit.“It was nothing really.” I collected the cup from her and placed it on the table. Unsure of what to do now, I waited there hoping she would ask me and save me the trouble.“You won’t ask me what happened?” she said instead.“Ma?” I asked her, puzzled.“I’m in this state of being and you won’t ask me what happened?” She repeated her question.“Oh.” I said, mind scrambling for what to say, “I didn’t want to seem too rude and pry. I felt you didn’t want anyone asking you anything.” I decided to say.“Well, yes. I don’t want to answer any questions.” she said, “but still that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have asked.”What on earth was sh
LILLIANA'S POV:Today I was meeting Doc. After my very eventful meeting with Camille and Sarah, I began to look for Doc but it seemed the woman was trying to see if she had a new superpower- being a ghost. It was quite disconcerting. I tried returning to the lab, but the passcode I stole from Bianca did not seem to work; perhaps it was only for exiting the lab and not entering. Or maybe they always rotated the passwords so people like you couldn’t easily enter, a tiny voice said in my head.Shut up, tiny voice. I said back to it.If I couldn’t enter the lab by sneaking in, then I’d have to just use the conventional means- find Doc, that way I could always come back here anytime I wanted to.So here I was, pacing in front of her office and smiling awkwardly at the people who stared at me with confused looks on their faces. Their confusion was a valid one, I mean it was not every day one got to see someone pace the entrance to Doc’s office.But I had to talk to her, I needed to let he
We looked at him in shock. How?How on earth could he tell? Clarke asked.“It’s not too difficult, telling.” He said, “All wolves have a somewhat vacant expression on their faces when they use their mind link.” He paused for a moment to give his order to the waiter who had arrived at our table.Once he was done, the waiter turned to us, “And for you sirs?”“Steak,” I said.“Same thing he’s having,” Clarke responded.The waiter bowed to us and scurried away. Guess it must have felt overwhelming being in the presence of such high-level pheromones.“It is also quite interesting,” the Alpha continued, “that wolves use that mind-link so much, without even realizing that that moment of vacancy could be considered their most vulnerable." “What are you trying to say?” I asked, tired of him beating around the bush.“I’m saying… If I wanted to, I could have killed you both, cut off your heads, and sent them to your people back home. All because you decided to have a mind-link conversation in f
