~Cora~
I stood up from Sam’s bed, quickly dressing up. “Where are you going, Cora?” he asked.“I got a mission to accomplish,” I replied. He moved closer and kissed the crook of my neck. I vibrated.“When am I seeing you again?” he asked, still plastering a series of kisses on my neck.“I’m not your sex toy, Sam,” I declared, standing up.“You left me with no choice, Cora. Do you know how many months I have been without sex?” he expressed, wearing his shirt.“All my fault again, I know and I will make it up to you but for now, I got to save the Alpha from that jezebel. I will come back to you after the four days,” I assured.“What do you plan to do? I want to help,” he offered.“Thank you, Sam. You have helped me already by identifying that jezebel, I will take it from here,” I declared and headed out. Sam sighed and dropped back on the bed.Throughout the remaining hours of the day, I sneaked around t~Ruby~I couldn’t face Russell anymore. I felt ashamed of myself. Or maybe scared of him. Even though he hadn’t shown any sign of being a demon, I was still afraid of the reality behind his attractiveness. I was going outside when I saw him standing on the porch.“Hey, Ruby,” he called my attention. I glanced at him and walked away. I was trying to avoid him as much as I could just not to fall for his temptation anymore. He followed me to the tree. “What is the matter, Ruby?” he asked.“Uh, I think I left my phone inside,” I lied, turning to go back inside. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back. I gasped. “Why are you avoiding me, Ruby? Is it because of last night?” he asked. “What is it about last night, Russell?” I queried, pissed. “You have been lying to us. You claim not to remember your past. How can you do that to us?”“Calm down, Ruby. I didn’t mean to hide my identity from any of you. Believe me, I was scared. If I had
~Autumn~We reached my room and Ian put me down on the bed. The headache was accompanied by a sudden hotness. It seemed something was burning inside of me.“How do you feel now? Let me get you some pain relievers, okay?” Ian said. Trying to go, I held his hand.“Don’t worry, Ian, I am fine,” I assured.“How can you say you are fine when you’re in pain?”“Trust me, Ian. I am fine,” I insisted.“If you say so,” he gave up and sat beside me, gently massaging my hand. The throb thudded more painfully and I winced. It became unbearable for me and tears leaked out of my eyes. “Come on, I’m taking you to the hospital,” Ian declared, standing up.“I don’t want to,” I cried. “I don’t like the hospital.”“Stop acting like a baby, sweetheart. I can’t watch you in pain like this. I’m going against you this time,” he stated and carried me again. I couldn’t argue anymore, I was in serious pain. The moment he stepped out, I dr
~Autumn~I regained consciousness on the hospital bed. With my squinted eyes, I looked around the place. My eyes fell on Ian. He was seated on a chair, holding my hand. “How do you feel now, sweetheart?” he asked. I saw fear in his eyes. Did he think I was going to die or something?“I’m better now,” I affirmed. The nurse came along.“Hey, Autumn. You are awake. How do you feel?” she asked cheerfully.“I am fine now, nurse,” I declared, sitting up.“Be careful,” Ian supported me. I reclined my back against the headboard.“What happened to me?” I asked. The nurse looked at Ian. I got what she meant. “Ian, can you excuse us, please?” I requested.“Why?”“Just a minute, please,” I said. He waited for a minute before accepting. He went out. The nurse took a seat on the chair Ian stood up from. “So what happened to me?” I asked.“It’s heat period, Autumn,” the nurse said. Butterflies filled my stomach. “Afte
~Jennifer~I hurried to Cora’s room. I didn’t see her in her room. I rushed out and bumped into her on the way. I held her hand and pulled her back to her room.“What is the matter, Jennifer?” she queried.“He isn’t listening to me. I don’t know what to do anymore. How does Naomi want to kill my husband? In what way, Cora?” I asked, taunted.“Calm down, Jennifer. Nothing will happen to the Alpha,” she assured.“Have you found out her plan?” “Not yet. She has someone backing her up in the pack. I saw her talking to a lady one night. I didn’t hear anything they were saying. Before I would pry more, the Alpha interrupted me and they escaped,” she explained. “Argh!” I grunted and dropped on the bed. “He believes she is a saint, Cora. He is concerned about her.”“You have to calm down, Jennifer. We will find a way to save the Alpha, okay?” Cora comforted me with a gentle touch on my shoulder.~Russell~
~Scarlett~I acted as if I was still fighting Skylar. Reaching Naomi’s room, I mouthed “I’m sorry” to Skylar and pushed her against the door.“What did you just say to me? How dare you? I’m going to beat you to a pulp today!” I groaned, gripping her shirt close to her neck. “You can do nothing, I’m going to teach you a lesson!” Skylar acted along and just then, the door swung open. I held Skylar from falling and pinned her to the wall instead.“Hey, what are you two doing?” Naomi interjected, trying to separate us.“Don’t interfere, Miss, let me teach this silly girl a lesson,” I said.“Stop it, will you?” she succeeded in separating us. “Why are you two fighting?”“She is silly, I want to beat her,” I declared.“Why did you separate us, Miss? I would have designed her face for her,” Skylar added.“Wait a minute. Why do you two look so much alike?” Naomi asked, folding her arms.“We are forbid
~Mateo~It was night already and I was still staring at my bed. The sound of wind entering the room from the window attracted my attention. It was unusual. It felt like I was hearing voices in place of the wind sound. I stood up, shuffling to the window. “Mateo!” I heard my name. I gasped, whirling to look behind me. My heart was going to burst with the way it was pounding. It felt a snow was dropping on my skin. I felt cold and spooked. I summoned the courage to continue to the window and close it. I neared it, carefully lifting my hands to the curtains. The moment I held the curtains to close it, the face of Rusair loomed over my face. “Argh…!” I was forced to scream, cowering back from the window. I was shivering.“Mateo?!” a hand came on my shoulder and my heart flew out of me.“Please, don’t kill me, please,” I begged.“What happened, Mateo?” Emery asked, appearing in my front. I shifted away from her. “I heard you scream. What is it?”
~Jennifer~I headed to Cora’s place after successfully stopping Bryson from going hunting. I met her along the hallway. “Hey, Cora,” I said, moving closer.“Hi, Jennifer. Can we talk?” she asked.“Sure, I was heading to your place,” I replied. We headed on to her room.“How did it go with the Alpha, Jennifer?” Cora queried as we reached her room.“Well, I managed to stop him from going hunting.”“It isn’t an attack anymore, Jennifer. The jezebel is not planning to attack the Alpha, she’s planning to poison him,” she announced.“Poison?!” I exclaimed, staring at Cora with a look of shock. “How?” “Tomorrow is the Alpha’s birthday. You know about it?”“Yes, he told me earlier. He is throwing a party too.”“That is it, Jennifer. She wants to eliminate him right in front of everyone. In such a gathering, her rogue family will attack everyone, killing them all and taking over the pack. That’s their
~Ian~I went to Muriel’s room. I honestly miss her; her anger, her smile, her stubbornness, just everything. I sat on a chair close to her bed. I held her hand, squeezing them gently. “Muriel?” I called, more like a whisper. I furrowed my eyebrows in surprise when I saw her lips curve into a smile. “Muriel?” I called out curiously. She gradually moved her head, resisting a force or something. I sprang up. Just then, she wheezed and opened her eyes. “Muriel, can you hear me?” I asked. She slowly closed her eyes again, returning to her still position. I hurried out to go tell Lucian. “Lucian?” I called, running into his room. He was seated on the floor, drinking himself stupor. “Hey, Lucian!” I shook him.“What is it, Ian?” he asked, drunk.“It’s Muriel,” I mentioned. He turned abruptly to me. “She was awake.”“What do you mean?” he asked curiously.“She opened her eyes. She is awake now.”“Seriously?” he sprang up. It se
