I was faced with the pack house of Newmoon pack. I saw soldiers, tramping around the compound, training. An old man, probably in his late 60s stood on a platform, commanding the soldiers on what to do. I bet he is the Gamma. I headed toward him. On my way, two scouts came along.โHey, who are you?โ one of them asked. His husky tone left a lump in my throat. I exhaled and looked up at him.โI want to see the Gamma,โ I stated.โDoes that answer my question?โ he groaned and I scowled at him, clenching my jaw.โHey, whatโs going on there?โ the manly, deep hoarse voice of the old Gamma reached to us. The scouts turned to him.โShe doesnโt want to say who she is,โ voiced out the second scout.โLet her be!โ the Gamma said. I walked out on them and headed to the Gamma. When I moved closer to him, his features became apparent to me. His face was wrinkled with age. His long, back-length ash-brown hair had white strands. H

I ran till I was faced with a door. I missed my way. I stopped, catching my breath before looking behind me. He stood a few distance away, looking at me.โWhat do you want? Why are you following me?โ I queried. He began walking close without a word. I pulled out a knife from the waist side of my pants and pointed it at him. โOne more step and I will kill you?โ I warned.โHahaha!โ he began laughing. I was confused, looking around me.โHey, what is funny?โโCome on, Miss, have you ever killed before?โ he teased, moving close. โYou donโt even know how to aim a knife at someone, see how you are shaking with it. If I ask you to stab me, can you do it? You know, when I was 7 years old, Grandpa would take me hunting with him. The first time I targeted a hare with my arrow, it shot straight into its head. Bam! It died instantly. Grandpa was impressed by my talent. I began following him every time he went hunting and it became my perfect hobby. From huntin

โYou must be hungry, Muriel. Letโs go eat,โ Ian told me as we were seated on the ground amid the flowers, staring across the beauty of nature. Being among the warmth of nature made me not notice the fast passage of time. I wasnโt even bothered by my growling stomach, as long as I felt peace among the flowers, everything else didnโt seem to matter. I nodded and we stood up.โSo, where are you taking me now?โ I asked, wiping off my clothes.โWe will go to my room and I will get you something to eat,โ he said. I stared mutely at him.โUhโฆ! Get crazy thinking off your head, Muriel, you are my cousin. Besides, my room is spacious, you will love it,โ he stated and I smiled. We headed out of the garden.โI wasnโt thinking anything crazy,โ I giggled in defense.โWhy then did you wear that what-the-hell-did-you-just-say look? I mean no harm, trust me,โ he assured.โGet off it, Ian. I honestly wasnโt thinking anything stupid,โ I declared. โWhat about the person I came to look for? How can I fin

โShe is, Bryson,โ the voice of the Gamma stretched to us from a distance. All eyes turned to him. I dropped my head to the floor, itching to be out of everyoneโs gaze. I canโt control my temper when it comes to the Gamma. And I donโt want to create a scene in front of everyone. The Gamma walked down to us. The sense of hate and resentment reserved in my heart for him slowly crept to the surface, making me swell with anger, yet I couldnโt explode.โGreetings, Alpha Lucian. Nice having you in our pack,โ the Alpha saluted.โItโs a pleasure. You must be GammaโฆโโGamma Foster,โ the Gamma interrupted. โI learned my granddaughter is your mate,โ he smiled. Lucian shot a puzzled look at me. I returned a cold glare at him. Alpha Bryson peered his soft, yet piercing eyes at me, making me itch to scratch. What if he thinks I am a liar?โDonโt you dare shout at me!โ I barked at Lucian when we went into his given room. โWhat were you expecting from me, cuddle him, roll on the floor because I disco

~Muriel~Having a meal with so many people made me drip down in sweat. I couldnโt meet anyoneโs gaze. It was a lively feast. We were all seated opposite each other around a large, long folding banquet table, 96 inches long to the end of the dining room, 42 inches wide to the rounding chairs, and 30 inches high from the floor. The men were talking about their political ambitions and stuff like that while the women recalled Alpha Brysonโs last ball. Only me and Jennifer, the newly lifted Omegas were as silent as the grave.โWhy are you silent, Miss Jennifer?โ one of the girls, the Betaโs fifteen-year-old twin daughter queried. Scarlett was adorned with strawberry blonde hair, cascading in a short wave over her shoulders. Her wide crimson irises twinkled in her eyeballs. And her short, flared, magenta gown sparkled with the colorful dining chandelier. Jennifer vibrated in her seat.โUm, itโs nothing, Scarlett, I just love listening and your story is fun,โ Jennifer replied awkwardly. I se

~Muriel~I opened my eyes when the sun poured its shaft on my face. The chirping of birds echoed in my ears. I sat up, turning my face to the opposite side of the bed, yawning.โAaaaaaa!โ I screamed, covering my mouth when I saw Lucian lying beside me. He sprang up instantly.โMuriel? Are you okay?โ he asked. I stared at him with a fast-breathing heart, wanting to punch him right in the face.โWhat have you done? Argh!โ I groaned, clamping my head.โDone what? Why are you shouting?โ he questioned.โWhy am I shouting? Why are you on the same bed with me, huh?โ I questioned, red in the face. A smile brimmed up his face. โYou think itโs funny?โ I tugged at his shirt, pegging it to his neck.โAre you going to kill me, Muriel?โ he teased, fondling my hair.โArgh!โ I groaned, pushing him away. I jumped down from the bed.โWhere are you going? Itโs too early to be out, Muriel,โ he stated.โI hate you so much, Lucian. You are not only evil but a promise-breaker. You are not capable of keeping

I looked behind me. No one was there. I looked back at him, he was already going. โHey, wait,โ I hurried after him โWhat demon are you talking about?โ I queried curiously.โCome with me,โ he said. I followed him down to his room. He sat on a mat in front of what seemed like a temple. I sat on a small wooden chair in front of him.โA demon, I see a demon,โ he repeated his words. My heart thumbs up. I have heard a lot about demons; manipulative, destructive, and heartless being from the pit of hell. Zeta Irene told us lots of stories about them, but she said they no longer exist on Earth so, what demon was Epsilon Cadman talking about? โA demon after what pleases him. A demon of pain and sorrow. No demon has ever dared to enter Newmoon pack under my watch, Lucian, but this demon broke out of the sacred circle and achieved his aim before leaving,โ Epsilon Cadman explained.โWhat are you talking about, Mr. Cadman?โ I queried curiously.โHe came to vis

We were now set to leave at noon. The snow has dispersed, leaving dews on the flowers. The sun crept to the surface, piercing its soft shaft on the pack house. I took off Lucianโs jacket and gave it back to him.โDonโt you think you still need it?โ he asked. I ignored him. We went to the throne room to announce our leaving.โItโs a pleasure having you around, Alpha Lucian,โ Alpha Bryson stated. He stood in front of us, bidding us farewell with a warm smile. How I wish Lucian was like him; soft, gentle, loving, and caring. But no, he chose the complete opposite. I glanced at Lucian and shook my head.โThank you for accommodating us, Alpha Bryson,โ Lucian said, returning the friendly smile.Jennifer who already had tears streaming down her cheeks shuffled to me and enveloped me in a tight hug. โI will miss you, Muriel,โ she sobbed. I began stroking her hair.โItโs okay, Jenny. You will be fine. Alpha Bryson will take care of you from now on

Ian froze wide-eyed. Russell looked at me. He lifted his hand to manipulate him. I held back his hand.โWhat are you doing? He is my cousin, donโt hurt him,โ I begged.โIโm leaving, sort him out,โ Russell said, pecked me on the forehead, and disappeared. How he disappeared shook Ian off balance.โCome on, Ian!โ I said, standing up and taking a step toward him. โWhy are you so shocked?โ I asked. He blinked severally and rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw right.โWho the hell was that, Muriel? Who is he? Donโt even try to tell me you are cheating on the Alpha with that man. Do you think he is normal? Have you ever seen a man as good-looking as him before? Donโt you think something must be fishy with him? What has come over you, Muriel? You are losing it, arenโt you?โ Ian quizzed in a jabber that got me staring at him, confused. โNow donโt look at me with those uncommon eyes of yours,โ he warned, pointing a finger at me and squinting his eyes w

We reached Russellโs room, having landed in the middle of the bedroom. I disengaged the hug, looking around. Everything was still in place. I canโt believe Iโm back here to stay. Even if I get angry this time, I canโt say Iโm going home.โI wonโt let you get angry,โ Russell said, walking behind me. I turned and glared at him. โDid you enter my head again?โ I groaned.โOh-oh! I already said I wonโt let you get angry and you are already furious. Tsk! I didnโt intrude on your private talk,โ he said with a funny head shake and I chuckled. Now I noticed.โWait, what happened to the old dining table?โ I asked, walking to the dining table.โUh, Iโฆ I broke it,โ he stuttered. I looked at him and shook my head. The new one wasnโt bad anyway. Itโs a porcelain-designed table with three golden chairs rounding it. I felt the smooth tabletop with my hand and sighed. Finally, I can sleep in peace. Russell was already on the bed, relaxing with his arms forming a pillow behind his head.โRussell?โ I

~Muriel~Falling off, strong arms wrapped around my body. I quickly opened my eyes and I was back on the cliff. What just happened? Was I imagining my fall?โHow can you die without me, Beauty?โ I heard Russellโs voice from my back and I turned to him. I stood frozen for a moment. I thought he wouldnโt ever come for me. I hurried into his arms, wrapping my arms around his torso while sobbing.โI love you, Russell,โ I expressed.โI love you too. Sorry I took so long to come,โ he apologized and I disengaged the hug.โDonโt be sorry, Russell,โ I said. โI am sorry. I know I betrayed you. I shouldnโt have allowed another man to touch me. I regret everything, Russell. Now I learned it was my fate. I am meant to be with you, but you have to accept my child, please,โ I apologized sincerely. He ran his hand through his hair and smiled.โI accept you and I accept anyone you wish me to accept. I love you, Muriel. I was just hurt. I thought

~Ruby~I took a cabby out of town. Where am I going? There are thousands of cliffs in Richmond, how do I locate that particular cliff? All I know is that the cliff has a deep forest beside it. Which forest it is, on which land, which state, I know nothing. Even when the cabby asked me where I was going, I told him to just drive. Now Iโm out of the city, facing God knows where. I began walking, trailing a dirt track. If the werewolf in my dream wants me to come to him, why wasnโt he specific? I grunted when I got pierced by a thorn as I trudged my way into the woods. After forever walking, I was faced with a sea with just two boats on it. One boat was returning with passengers and the other was about to start without passengers. I rushed down to the boatman.โHey, excuse me!โ I said. He turned to me.โHello, where are you going, Miss?โ he asked, sounding polite.โUm, Iโฆ I am going. Look, I donโt know exactly where I am going. Iโm looking for a clif

~Ruby~I turned uncomfortably on the bed. It was him again. I found myself taking a flight into darkness. I screamed as everything flashed across my face. Then the flight stopped and I was right behind him on the clifftop. He was close to the edge of the clifftop, more like he would fall if he took a step forward. โHey!โ I called out, taking careful steps toward him. He looked to his side but didnโt face me. I could see his lip quirking up a smile. He faced the valley again. โWho the hell are you and why are you pestering me?โ I queried. He didnโt respond. โWhy arenโt you saying something? Why do I keep seeing you? Donโt you talk? Who the hell are you? Are you a werewolf?โ I quizzed and stopped before reaching closer to him.โIf you are interested to know me, why donโt you come and find out?โ he spoke out.โWhat do you mean?โ I asked.โSee you,โ he said and lunged forward, falling off the cliff. I curiously hurried to the edge, looking d

~Muriel~After much crying, I slept off. I turned over, yawned, and opened my eyes, pulling them on Russell. He was standing close to the wall with folded arms. I sat up quickly. Does he know? My heart picked a race as I stared into his emotionless eyes. โRussell?โ I uttered.โIt hurts, Muriel. I didnโt know you could hurt me like this,โ he expressed. His words sent cold shills to my heart. โWhat more do you want me to do to show that I love you with all my heart? I have never loved before and I promised myself that when I do, I will love her with all my heart. And I did, Muriel. You accepted me for who I am and I was over the moon because of that. I wanted to fight the world for you, to put a smile on your face, to make you never regret loving me and to die for you. I donโt know what I left out, Muriel. Why did you have to lead me on? You should have told me you never wish to be with me, I would have let you be, I would have let you go because I want you to be hap

~Ian~I headed to Murielโs room at sunset. I knocked severally before she opened up. โWhat are you doing here?โ she asked, holding the door ajar.โCan we talk, please?โ I requested.โNo, I donโt have time for people like you. Get out,โ she said and closed the door. I stopped the shutting of the door with my clenched fist.โOuch!โ I exclaimed as I succeeded in opening the door. She swiveled abruptly to me.โWhat did you do, Ian?โ she rushed back to me.โLet it be, Muriel. I want us to talk,โ I insisted.โYou are just so stubborn,โ she said, pulling me to the bed. She sat me down and pulled out a drawer, bringing out an ointment. โShow me your hand,โ she commented and I forwarded my hand to her. She began applying the ointment to my wrist.โYou do care about me, donโt you?โ I asked. She glanced at me.โThatโs what Iโm known for, Ian. I care about those who donโt care about me no matter how painful their a

He sat me down. โWhat should I offer you, Miss Fury Autumn?โ he asked. I pulled him down on me, pressing his lips against mine. I kissed him hungrily.โWait,โ he pulled away and sat up.โI donโt need any other thing, Ian,โ I sobbed, hugging him from behind. โI was wrong. I shouldnโt have overreacted, I should have listened to you. Iโm deeply sorry, Ian. Forgive me, please,โ I apologized. He removed my hands from his neck and faced me.โI understand you, Miss Fury Autumn. I hold no grudges but the deed is already done, isnโt it? It shows you donโt trust me and thereโs no love without trust,โ he said.โI know and Iโm sorry. I was hurt to see you with her. And I thought the pain I was in before running to you was a result of you cheating on me. Can you even blame me?โ I

In the morning, I woke up as early as possible and began packing my bags ready for the journey to Newmoon pack. I dressed up and fixed my dagger into my armored jacket. I opened the door and was faced with Father and Grace, who hid behind Fatherโs back.โWhere are you going, dear?โ Father asked.โWhat is this stupid girl doing here?โ I pointed angrily at Grace. She clutched Fatherโs robe.โYou need to calm down, Autumn. She is still your sister, you know? She was indeed stupid but if you check her intentions, you will know she was just trying to help your relationship with Ian. Itโs just her foolishness that allowed her to be used by Ken. Donโt be mad at her, please,โ Father stated.โIโm sorry, Autumn. Forgive me,โ Grace interjected.โYou be quiet!โ I groaned. โYou donโt know the atom of what you have done. You made me reject Ian. I allowed him to go without trying to stop him. You donโt know what I went through in his absence. Just fast and pray to the Moon Goddess that Ian forgives

~Mateo~I was fully ready to be crowned the king of the demon kingdom now. No more troubles. After my shower earlier, I took a nap and I slept peacefully. Nothing feels like being normal again. I took a quill and was jotting my recent experience when the door slowly opened. Advisor Fort appeared through the door. I smiled boldly at him.โHello, advisor Fort!โ I greeted. He moved closer.โHello, Mateo,โ he responded and sat opposite me.โIt has been a while, advisor,โ I said, putting the quill down.โExactly, Mateo. We all have been worried about you. What truly happened to you? Why did you confine yourself in your room?โ he queried.โItโs nothing serious,โ I smiled it off. โI just needed time to myself, thatโs all.โโGood to know. Are you ready for your coronation tomorrow?โ he asked.โMore than ready, advisor. If thereโs anything I will adore in this world, thatโs to assume the throne of our great kingdom. And
