Shawn“You’re here— quite early, but still late,” Kaal's eyes darted around, looking through us and beyond.I knew just what he meant. Late, because the meeting had been delayed for days; early, because we arrived sooner than usual, as if we were roosters crowing confidently at the wrong sunrise. The thing is, I was also surprised we arrived this early. We had set out before dawn, the driver, two delegates and I, leaving Alice and the rest behind. The Southern territory was notorious for the bad, crooked roads, leading to it. With the intention of navigating through the whole mess of paths, and arriving on time, we'd met a rather well-kept and smooth road, void of potholes and the likes. “I had a lot of engagements.” “You should have sent word.”The button on my suit gave way as I unbuckled it, “I'm here now, aren't I?”“I'm so magnanimous,” the corner of Kaal’s lips stretched into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “I’m so magnanimous,” he repea

Shawn“Marcus, send word to the guards, they'll need to be out here on watch, while we continue.” I place the mug I had drunk from on the makeshift stool before me, the fire crackled softly, sending tiny whooshes into the air, and I stared at it. “When do we leave, Alpha?” “First thing tomorrow morning.” “Yes, Alpha”, he stands and walks away, two other delegates right behind him.We've been camping here for the past five days, a little far off from Red Valley, but not far enough to not spot any further intrusions from the territory. Right now, we have to continue our journey. The meeting up with Kaal, the Southern territory Alpha, had long been postponed. I wring my hands, obviously distressed by the thought of him. Kaal was nothing I could not handle, but he was a massive pain in the ass. With that said, I'll leave the rest to your imagination for the meantime.“Do we really have to respect his invitation though?”I'd realized Alice hasn't been in her mo

EvaThe waves shot inside me. Something akin to enthusiasm replaced despair. The cool breeze soothed me, and the strong wind that came from me loping relentlessly through the thick trees, made my white furs rise and fall. This is freedom.The sound of collective paws pounding on the ground made my ears twitch, amongst them was another sound. I zoom in on it, tracing where it came from. A deer kept struggling in the thicket, it was stuck, that means, a perfect chance to strike. It seemed to have sensed me lurking around, because it sprang to its feet and ran. The motherfucker wasn't tangled after all. It was having fun drawing attention to itself. Without another thought, I charged towards it. We didn't run for quite long, before it got tackled down. I pounced on it, claws and fangs digging into the poor animal, and rendering it helpless. ’’That was fast…’’ I heard Opheilia say as I approached the circle, dragging my kill along, wedged between my fangs. Her voice carried across th

ShawnOut of the city, we drove through the mountain pass, before we turned left, now heading to the end of the trail that stood opposite a nearly-barren forest land. This marked the end of my territory, and that marked the beginning of Red Valley, another territory. In-between the two land masses, a narrow crooked path ran along it, slashing across like an anaconda waiting quietly for its next prey. I exit the car, the driver sat at his office. Long drives bored me out so much and the zig-zagness of the mountain pass made it much worse. Alice is already by my side when I look behind, the rest of the delegates trailing behind her, waiting for my next command. “Do you need more time?” she asked, her voice very low. “No…we should head out.”In a few seconds, we were across the road, heading into Red Valley. Dried stems and trunks stood instead of green healthy trees, a sharp contrast to the other side.What could have happened? The last time I'd been

EvaFenrir— The Primordial Wolf, Sköll— The Sun Hunter, Hati— The Moon Hunter, Fenris Graymane— Tribal Elder: Keeper of the Lore, Thiess the Sentinel— Heroic Defender, Remnar Monteal—Tragic Werewolf. My index finger paused, looming over the name. Remnar Monteal. Could Monteal mean the same Monteal I know? The names were carved into the deep-mahogany page of a weighted book I had struggled to open initially. Without a second thought, my curiosity got the best of me. I quickly trace the name horizontally, across the hundred dots, straightaway, aiming for the page number. “... and it's proof he doesn't agree. Don't you think so?” The voice nearing the door startles me, and I almost jump out of my skin, clearly guilty. I'm fast enough to slam the book shut before the door lightly creaks open. Colin comes in, a wave of surprise hits me, but before I can say anything, Shawn follows him in.“You're here already, Eva.” Colin said, acknowledging me, a wide smile

Eva“…we can’t just ignore it,” a man's voice said. His tone was tense but controlled. “They crossed the river again last night. That’s the third time this month.”I slowed my steps immediately. Luckily I had worn the light sandals from yesterday. The sole didn't crunch on the floor, it barely made any noise. This morning, I had woken up with the decision to not be cooped up in my room. I was a prisoner alright, but I was a living being too, plus I'd already given Shawn my word to not escape. Silently, I hoped he would keep to the end of the agreement, because even if he didn't, there was really nothing I could do for the meantime. Everything felt foreign. My senses had heightened. Speaking of senses. From where I stood in the hallway, I could hear the deep, calm, and unmistakably commanding voice of Shawn.“We’re not ignoring it,” Shawn said. My heart did an annoying little skip at the sound of his voice.I knew it was him, even without seeing hi
