SOMA:
He doesn’t resist. No, he doesn’t at all. Instead, he just looks down at me with a wide stare, telling me how surprised he is. But that doesn’t even last for long because he is back with the smirk for the umpteenth time.
“Don’t you think you’re going a little bit far? We could always talk out whatever is going on without getting violent,” he says, mockery laced in his tone.
“Oh, you think this is too far?” and I put more pressure on his neck. “What about this? How does it feel like?”
The crazy thing about it is that he doesn’t even flinch one bit. I think he might be entirely resistant to pain, which might be a disadvantage for me if this goes on like this.
“Still feels the same to me, Soma. I still can feel your anger pouring out through your arm. You might need to tone it down a bit,”
SOMA:I knew it was a bad idea when I decided to go on heels today. Now my feet are all weary as I try to take them off.I do not struggle with it because I know it would add to my distress. And so, gently and comfortably, I take them off, heaving a sigh of relief soon after for a job well done.Did I really resolve anything with Leonard today? I guess not. It was more like we had a little fight before venturing into a healthy conversation.At least I achieved something from all of that. I found out he’s not the culprit in Luis’ predicament. And neither does he have an idea what’s going on. How could I tell? I have this itch for knowing when I’m being lied to. And I sure as hell knew he wasn’t.Still, that didn’t get me anywhere. It means Luis would still be going through the ordeal without having an idea what’s going on. I’m suppos
LUIS:“And there you go messing up again,” Ryk says as soon as I finish the explanation that has my mind all cranky all day.“I know I did, man. You don’t remind me once more about how stupid I can be most times,” I respond saucily, bending my head a little to avoid a tree branch.“I wasn’t implying that. I just do not understand why you keep messing things up with Alpha Soma. I get that this is your first time trying to make a relationship with a woman work, but is it worth all of these insecurities you’re portraying?”“Even with what I just told you is going on around me, you think it’s not worth it?”Perhaps he didn’t get what I said about the issues I’m facing. Because why would he be making a conclusion based on just me messing things up with Soma? I admit that I did mess up, and I’ve a
SOMA:“Mark, I have to go now,” I announce, getting up from the training mat set up outside the main quarters.A sudden odd feeling just took over me. Really strange to me I just say because I have never felt that way before. Feels more like a thorn in my heart and I can’t seem to explain how it came to be.“Where to?” Mark’s voice gets to my hearing, bringing about a further confusion in me. Can’t even say how much bother I am going through at the moment.“I don’t know,” I say, and with already somewhat conviction of what I have in mind, add, “My room, maybe,”“Are you okay?” he asks as I begin to take a move say from the location to head into the building to freshen up from the sweaty skin of mine.I should respond to Mark’s question but I do not see the reason for suc
SOMA:The ride into the Dark Moon territory with Leonard was super awkward. Probably the most awkward I’ve ever been involved in. Since he hopped into my car, we haven’t exchanged any words with each other. And in as much as I would like to keep it that way for the sake of arriving at our destination fast — which I have no idea of — I can’t flag off the things eating me up.I’ve got questions. A lot of them. I need a better understanding of what happened in this pack that has me rushing down here without having a clue. Just an eerie instinct.To be honest, never would I have imagined the possibility of an internal penetration in the Dark Moon pack. With everything I’ve heard about their forces, I would be expecting much better from them. That’s if what the guard out there told me is true.I finally figure out that it truly is when I see a group of warri
SOMA:I have proof that he is alive. It wasn’t enough smelling his scent off the piece of clothing I saw on the floor, but at least, it gave me a clue about his existence. And the feeling, the bond that I should say pulls me toward him, was still there. Faint, but still functioning.Even with no idea of his whereabouts until I left the premises of the Dark Moon territory, I already have something figured out. And it is to start to look for a means of saving him myself no matter the cost that it takes. I’m going to make whoever caused this disaster pay in double folds.‘Cassie! Get my weapons ready. I’m almost at the quarters,’ I apparently yell into the link with my sister as I drive to the main quarters of our pack.‘What do you need them for?’ she throws back a question at me.‘Just get them ready,’ and I block off the link
SOMA:“Where did you say he is?” I ask Mark after we get to the living area but realize it is empty of people. Thought we would find him there.“He’s outside,” Mark says, and I nod in response as we continue to walk, this time to the main entrance of the building.I’m a little bothered about Tyrone being here, especially after knowing that it hasn’t been long since I left his territory. I can confidently say nothing would warrant him coming at me for the issue with his pack. At least not on the negative side. Still one has to be wary.Another problem is how presentable I look at the moment. Can’t say I’m well dressed to meet with a fellow leader. I should be in the best of outfits to probably look more presentable than this to paint a better picture of me to him. But this moment was critical. If not Tyrone, whom I know has never been to the Blood
SOMA:“The Black Lotus,” Tyrone says and then looks over at every one of us circled around the round table, landing his gaze on me eventually. “We think that is the group that wreaked havoc on this pack yesterday. And not that we are thinking about it anymore, we might have as well concluded that it is their doing,”The first thing I do when he released the information to the round table is to first have a look at the rest of them to get their reaction... apart from Tyrone himself.Hailey, Leonard, and Zane the head warrior all had the same reaction — neutral. Probably because they were informed already about how this meeting was supposed to go. Mark, instead, gave out a little twitch. That, I was able to observe as he was seated beside me.Well, they all gave out something one way or the other. Now it is left with me. “And what group is that?” I suddenly say
SOMA:“Arrgh!” I yell out in frustration as I hit the pillar in front of me. Everything that went down in there was horribly terrible. And it was no way to solve the ongoing issue.I can’t believe I actually announced that I have a mate in their pack. Now they will be curious as to who it is. The worst thing is that I might eventually not be allowed to go on the intended mission because they would feel I might let my emotions have the better of me.Speculations upon speculations. That’s just how I live my life most time. Most of the time it is a means for me to make out excuses for the wrongs of someone and I’m starting to find it annoying.There is this urge to hit the pillar again but I withhold myself from doing it. Mainly because I do not trust the strength that would accompany the hit. What I eventually do is grab on to it, gripping it in full force to vent my
