Jack's POV
Half a year have passed since Emily’s death. During this time, I have travelled around quite a few countries meeting new people, learning new things and I have also come across a few witches who helped me with honing my new discovered powers.
Despite them wanting me to stay, I decided to not as I came to realise the longer, I stayed in one place the more danger it would bring to someone. And I hate to lose and burden more innocent people.
And as for the current situation, I am in the US. I have travelled to a lot of places, trying to find if there are any survivors alongside clues of who the true perpetrators are and the purpose of their attack. And for some reason I have always believed the true aim of theirs is to target me, but for what reason I am uncertain of.
But overlooking that, I finally arrived at the US from the Witch’s den which was a long ship journey lasting 6 days. And if it wasn’t because of me being a wolf, I feel like I would die from seasickness. I mean I was fine until like the second day when I felt like I was going to puke my guts out but then I suddenly felt hyped the next day after a full 24-hour rest or something. And luckily, there was no big problems from day 3 onwards until I arrived at the US. I guess I should be thankful of my supernatural identity here.
Thinking back, I am now far away from that small village I used to call home where me and Emily have lived peacefully for 4 years.
Everyone I have seen still calls me by the name of Jack, I am still disguised as a boy, but I have a change of appearance including my original brown hair now is silver (or white) with some light blue linings like my wolf and my eyes were disguised as light blue with a spec of purple and red through the use of my powers that was awakened (due to the transformation at the end of the previous chapter).
Due to having only a few dollars on me, (majority being spent on travel expenses) I had to go and live in the forest for a while.
As I was walking around the forest trying to find a safe place to sleep, I decided that somewhere high is the best to hide myself in.
I ran around the area of the forest making sure I am not going into any pack territory; and then I found a perfect tree that looks durable and very tall.
As it was already night-time, I climbed up the tree and rested myself on it and gazed upon the sky thinking of everything that has been happening throughout my life since my 5th birthday.
It's like every single time my birthday arrives there is always something bad that would happen.
Even though Valentine's Day (the day of my birthday) should be a day to celebrate, now I came to realise it's not, and that I would never ever celebrate my birthday with anyone again.
I covered myself in a blanket which I ‘kindly’ borrowed from the boat I boarded for 6 days, snoozing in attempting to stop my train of thoughts. Alongside the blanket, I have also taken some necessities such as a backpack which I have stuffed with food, money, water, and most importantly an envelope from Emily that I still have not mustered up my courage to open yet.
I looked at the envelope and with my shaky hands, I scanned my palms around it, uncertain of whether I should open it or not. Missing the warmth and voice of Emily but unable to see or hear her just like how everyone else have left my life was a painful experience. But knowing I should not envelop myself in darkness, knowing that there is nothing else I can do, knowing she is now dead, I know this was the last moment I have with Emily, I believe it was about time I should see what the content of this letter is and overcome my fears.
Slowly but gently opening the letter, not wanting to crease or injure any part of the envelop, ensuring I could later repair it to its original state, I swiftly peeled the top of the envelop to open it and slowly pull out the thin piece of paper from within.
“Happy 14th birthday Jack!” was the first sentence that appeared at the top of the paper when I unfolded it before it carried on.
“I know you have gotten through a lot over the past few years with just me and you. I enjoyed staying with you and teaching you everything I know about fighting. I treat you like a daughter and I wish we could always stay like this, but my life is ending soon, I know you would be upset and blame yourself, but I must tell you it's not your fault. To be honest half a year ago, I was rejected by my mate when I went to work one day, he was with another girl. This led my wolf to be in great pain, and both of us became weak and just a few days ago she died.”“I want to tell you this because I know I won't survive over this day, so I wrote this letter. And I want to tell you that I love you! And that no matter what you must survive.”
Touching the piece of thin paper and seeing little droplets fall onto it before sinking into the paper leaving marks on it, I raised my hands out from the branches above me, believing it was raining but instead the droplets were not from the clouds above but instead from my eyes. Closing my eyes, I questioned myself, “How did I not realise this?” I have stayed with Emily for a long-time and through the past couple of weeks I have never seen her release her wolf form, her complexion also looked off. “Why did I never question it? Why did I never bring this up?”
Pulling my head up, trying to hone my emotions in, I clenched my fists, hating the fact that I was unable to help, unable to realise her pain, unable to save her.
As memories of me and Emily being together flooded my mind, I wiped away my tears. I know I am not weak, Emily and everyone have trained me, taught me everything they have ever known, we fought and worked together. There was no way I was weak, and I do not want to be weak, I need to get stronger, I need to get strong enough that I am able to get revenge not just for Emily but also for both Healer Moon and Full Moon Pack who treated me with love.
As I calmed down, I folded the letter and put it back in my bag. I looked up into the sky and knew that the days ahead of me may be a harsh and uneasy path to take, but I must endure. With that in mind, I must first regain my energy, closing my eyes and attempting to have a good night rest.
However, that did not happen as a sudden snap of the twig awoken me, causing me to be on high alert. Looking down I could see around 5 wolves and I can feel 6 more coming towards us from a 1 km radius from the north.
I am surrounded but from their actions they don't know I am up in the trees, so the best cause of action is making a surprise attack.
When all the wolves turned their back away from the trunk I jumped down and caught 2 by surprise and hit them in the abdomen with 1 punch making them unconscious.
I was then ready to go and attack the other 3 when they turned over, but I was suddenly halted when one of the werewolves transformed back into their human form, and yes without any clothes on which is common in the werewolf society.
As we glanced at each other, I wondered who this man standing right in front of me was thinking. I mean who would transform back to their more vulnerable state when an enemy tries to attach them? I mean, only a person with a death wish would do that!
But with a few seconds of silence with no one daring to make a single move, we stared at each other until I find the man standing right in front of me to look quite familiar however I couldn’t make out who they were until…
“Jack?”
This caught me by surprise as I got into a more cautious stand, not knowing whether the person standing in front of me was a friend or foe.
But as I took a step back, the man took a step forward and had a bright smile on his face, “It’s me, Jacob!” He said happily. And as his features became more clearer and hearing his voice alongside his name, something suddenly flushed through my mind.
“Jacob?” I questioned whilst the man nodded enthusiastically, “okay, if you truly say who you are, then tell me what happened at our first meeting?” I said whilst the smile on Jacob’s face suddenly falls.
He looked around at the people surrounding us before looking back at me then on the ground before scratching his neck, “hehehe, do I have to?” He asked quite embarrassed which made me smile as I loosened my fist, “Okay, you don’t have to” I said and smiled.
Confirming that it was Jacob, I mean the first time we meant, he was beaten up by the 5 years old me who have escaped the tragedy of my pack’s abolition and ever since that incident, I have disguised my eye colours and dressed as a boy so I cannot be associated back to the Healer Moon Pack, but it seems like those killers won’t let go until they get what they want.
Just as me and Jacob was chatting, another werewolf from behind signalled for Jacob through the mind link before we broke our conversation and from that I knew that something was happening, and potentially it may have to do with something with the group of men following behind them.
With that Jacob’s expression suddenly turned serious, “come with us” he said to me whilst I hesitated but nevertheless nodded and followed suit.
Jack’s PoV A few years have already passed since I met Jacob, now I’m already 16. Still disguised as a boy and attending school during the morning as if I was a normal human being but it wasn’t that simple, during this time a lot of things have happened. Ever since I met Jacob, I found out there are still people from the Full Moon Pack who have survived and Jacob is trying to find them and bring them together, and with that as their goal, they have travelled around the place, carrying out different missions which varied in difficulty from simple undercover jobs to being a bodyguard or assassin. And as their fame builds up, the more eyes began to look at them and it was due to this that I met them on that day in the forest (Jacob, Leo, Tom, Alfie, and James). And who knew these people are also the same people that I would later come to be close allies with. And ever since I have joined them, our reputation spread even faster, and not just theirs, I even heard I was nicknamed the Blo
Jack's POVMy alarm went off at 4:30am as usual but I woke up earlier than that, my wolf has been on edge lately and hasn't been talking to me lately, it's weird, we haven't had a argument so I don't get why she is feeling on edge and a bit agitated, however even with these emotions, I could sense a tint of excitement from her. But despite knowing how she felt, I could not tell what she is thinking despite using the same body.As I was thinking deeply about Sophie, I didn't even realise I have already eaten my breakfast. But anyways, after several thoughts I don't think it was a good idea to think too deep, it is better if I just let Sophie tell me when she feels it's the right time. So, as I decided that I walked out of the dorm and went for a jog outside the new premises I am on, trying to seek out any hiding places for peace and quiet but also some training alone time so no one would find me.After running around the
Alice’s PoVMonday has arrived and it is also the day where I go back to the academy. As I woke up, I felt a sharp headache, believing it was a hangover from last night’s excessive drinking, I immediately got out of bed and washed up before going downstairs to see breakfast has already been prepared. Looking up, I see my mother (the Luna) who’s in the kitchen, “morning!” She said happily whilst I greeted her as well.As I sat down on my seat, my mother looked at me and held back a laugh as she sees my current state, “did you drink too much last night? I know you are of age now but look after yourself more, you look too tired for your first day of school” she said.I nodded at my mother’s comment, despite she is a great Luna, she also acts as a great motherly figure especially with her nagging, but nevertheless, I felt my mother’s sincerity and warmth.And after
Alice’s PoV Time flies and my first day of school is coming to an end. Now is my last class, and that is PE. Since it is my first official day back, a merged session was carried out. As I got changed, me and the twins went onto the field, on our way there, I didn’t realise anything until I heard a loud scream coming from a crowd of people, all of them seem crazy and my wolf agreed. At this point, I honestly wanted to find an escape route until a nice scent attracted my attention. Averting my gaze to find the source of the scent, I suddenly came upon a boy with silvery white hair walking towards the twins. At this time, I could sense some girls gaze were on him causing me and my wolf to growl in disapproval and before I knew what was happening, my body moved on its own and grabbed onto his hand by instinct. At this point, sparks were released upon the slight touch I had with the person in front of me. At this point,
Jack’s PoVThe week ended as quickly as it came. And as time passes, a flush of excitement extends each day, and Sophie was also getting more and more riled up. But despite asking, Sophie won’t tell me what is going on, but I knew for a fact she was hiding something from me, but what needs to be investigated more to get an answer.But I did realise something throughout these days. This feeling, these uncontrollable urges only happen when a specific person is close by. And in order to be myself, a composed and clear minded Jack, I must keep a good distance from Alice.And as everyone may have thought, how do I keep a good distance when my mission is to protect and guard him? Well, I am a person who does her work in the shadows, I work behind the scenes and usually from a long distance, so there is literally no difference to my usual role so its fine.But now going back to current topic. The past few day
Jack's PoV Everything around me is all dark, I couldn't see anything like I am being sucked into a dark abyss. I walked around but still nothing however, there was whispers around me, although I couldn't decipher what they were saying but one thing for certain is that they don't have any ill intent towards me, so I tried to following the voices but it didn't lead me anywhere, the voices were coming from different directions making it look like I'm going one way but then another so basically I'm just going around in a loop, so in short... I'm lost! As I was settling down and tried to ignore the voices calling out, I was then in my own world, it was really quiet, nothing was disturbing me, not even the voices. As I was concentrating on controlling my heart beat and breathing, a soft, gentle voice called out, although the voice was speaking in a different language, but for some reason it felt so familiar and also I co
Jack's PoV Peeping into someone else's conversation maybe one of my specialities, it is one of the most crucial skills needed in assassin work especially for those who work in the shadows like myself. Due to my small figure I am able to hide in smaller places without being easily detected. Even the most powerful alpha would have a hard time in finding where I am which acts to my advantage when working in the shadows. Despite in this situation, there is no need for me to hide myself as all these are just an illusion however it was just out of habit. Third person PoV ~Conversation~ "How is the preparations?" Luna asked (the woman with white hair who presumably is Jack's mother). "All our wolves are ready to fight, the vampires are in position, witches and warlocks are ready to carry out their spells and there are a
Jack's PoV It has already been half a year since I stayed in the academy, the twins are still acting as Alice's bodyguard who now is a true alpha after his father has stepped down his role about a month ago so he is super busy. Whilst I carry on working in the shadows and acting as a human within the academy grounds. My daily routine is the same as always even within the 2 weeks of Easter holiday. Alice has been going on business trips whilst I would work alongside him but from a distance so basically I know his daily routine and plans as the boys would always send me a copy to ensure I am doing my job. But anyways, today is the start of a new term, everyone was preparing to go to the academy, me and Alice have also become closer, it's not like I could help it, since a weeks after his arrival, he kept on sticking to me asking for me to be his friend etc. I thought it wasn't a bad idea as it would also be easier to
