Sharlynn's POV
There's something mysterious about the moon. The way it just stays up in the sky, shining the brightest possible way that it can. Whenever I looked at a full moon, I thought - " what if the moon is alive, what if it's the supernatural power that watches the things that happen at night?"
Vampires were nightcrawlers and I felt mad at the moon for seeing all the evil they do and yet not doing anything about it. But that was few days after Aliyah was killed, I was just looking for anything or anyone to blame.
Tonight as I looked at the crescent-shaped moon, I realized that the moon is a wolves thing, not vampires. Something about the way the crescent moon shined made me see the pack in a new light.
Each family cottages - a place where each werewolf family stayed when it was time for meetings and training, seemed so enchanting. The cottages were made of a special kind of wood that I'd never seen before - it was white and I kind
Sharlynn's POVThe pack was still completely silent. Not even Jed, Dean, Kyle, or Kimmel did anything to challenge Terry, they just stood there looking at him." Terry.." Duke finally said and I braced myself for what would be said because I was pretty sure that the girl in question would be me." You know it's in our blood to destroy vampires -""- which is why I made the pact with all werewolves in Hollow hills to ensure that you rid this town of vampires."" Which we have done perfectly well - particularly my pack more than the half Moon back you're currently using to terrorize us," Duke said, this time, he was now standing in front of Terry." So why the hell are you working with those beasts?" Terry asked and Duke sighed and looked at me." Because of a pretty girl?" Terry asked unbelievably and motioned for me to be brought to him but Kyle stood in front of me and he was followed by the rest of the pack w
Sharlynn's POVTwo weeks after Dean's Alpha ceremony, I found myself thinking hard about the things that happened.Since Kyle's ability to speak " Alpha" was the top topic on my list, naturally, it was the first thing I went to get more information about.According to literally everyone in Dean's pack, Kyle was once an Alpha but that was centuries ago when his family still lived in Veilah. He was the next Alpha after his father and according to them, his wolf was very frightening and intimidating.I couldn't believe that Kyle was once one of the most dangerous Alphas and he never for once bragged about it - not even once. Though maybe that was the source of his unending pride.In my quest to know more about Kyle, I uncovered a rather upsetting secret and it was this secret that led me to the front of Kimmel's office where I stood before I knocked twice and entered.He was concentrating as he wrote in a notebook
Sharlynn's POVI covered my hair with my mom's scarf and quickly left the house, anxious to leave the Ridge house as soon as possible. Since my brothers were not home, it made it easier for me to escape but when I finally came out through the gate, my anger subsided and I exhaled deeply.A strand of my hair was peeking out of the scarf I'd used to cover it, revealing that my hair had gone back to its original brown color. I sighed and tied the scarf around my neck instead, preparing to head out to Darren's house.Anxiety hit me for quite a while as I walked to his house, afraid that someone was following me - a feeling I always had because ninety-nine percent of the time when I feel I'm being followed it always turned out to be Kyle.I knew I shouldn't have been scared since I was already protected by several spells by the Ridge's ally witches but knowing that one of Aveera's witches disguised as a child almost undid the spell and killed me got me a
Darren’s POV Red hair, beautiful green eyes, perfect button nose, full lips – everything was the same – everything except that completely evil look in her eyes. Reyna, Sharlynn’s warrior she says? I completely doubt it, there’s no way I’d be deceived by this bullshit. “Seriously? You’re just gonna stand there and stare at me? Smooth …” she said with a pout that was so Sharlynn but I couldn’t just fall for the performance of whoever this imposter was. “Tell me who you really are or I’ll have to snap your neck this instant!” I threatened, moving closer to where she was and she held back laughter for a split second before she burst out laughing psychotically as she clapped her hands furiously, frightening me in a way I’d never felt before. I quickly masked my fright with a smirk and she slowly stopped her maniac laughter. “I’m so sorry for laughing like a lunatic but did you just threate
Tom's POV I smelled blood just as I parked my car and got down, I was tempted to grab an early snack but I couldn't - not after the way, Sharlynn treated me because of my natural lust for blood. I have been feeding on blood from blood bags instead and it honestly felt uninteresting because the thrill and excitement we derive from hunting our prey just before we feed was completely absent. But to please Sharlynn, I ignored the smell of blood and focused on going to my first class - history. Honestly, the teacher knew nothing much of history, and the fact that I was five hundred and fifteen years old enabled me with enough information to keep him on his toes. I guess that explained why I was excited for his class this morning, the fact that I was late made me feel even better. There was nothing new about that - I've always been known for being notoriously late and today was no different. it was already 9 am, classes ought to have
Tom's POV " What the hell was that huh?" Darren asked me, he was now breathing heavily and I could tell that he was on the brink of one of their stupid witch episodes. I for one wasn't a fan of all that bloody nonsense so I sighed and said. Vampires and the Toody witches never agreed and it's all because of their evil leader who also doubled as the mother of Darren. I didn't like calling her name. Just as I now despise calling Ron my father - not after what he revealed some while back. As far as I was concerned, any man who would deceive his kids and take away their right to live a normal human life just to please his mistress is a disgrace. As I looked at Darren, I saw his evil resemblance to his mother and I didn't know what I would've preferred. If he looked like my father - I meant Ron, or him resembling his mother. Thinking about it, they both were disgusting pieces of shit! I'd get really pissed to see
Sharlynn's POVIt's been a short while since I let the rage and anger I felt take over me and I honestly feel caged. I have no memory of the time in the cave when they said I'd summoned Veilah. I only remember the way I left up until when I lost control.That day in the cave, Darren was in pain and was yelling because Aveera spelled the sun to shine through the cave, burning him endlessly and it broke my heart to see him that way because of me.I also felt awful because of Nikk and most especially Tom. They weren't my friends, frankly, Tom tried to kill me the first day he saw me but the fact that they risked everything to save me and they ended up lying lifeless and poisoned on the ground caused me pain.I'd never had friends before or people were willing to risk everything for me aside from my parents and Aliyah my late best friend. So seeing them distraught and in pain because of me caused me so much pain than I can endure, it reminde
Sharlynn's POVI woke up in a bathtub filled with ice and my brain felt numb. I couldn't remember what happened when I was ambushed but I knew that I was taken somewhere else, somewhere dark and I kept seeing flashes of different women who had my face.It didn't make sense to me, even though it seemed real. All I could vividly remember was being ambushed by several cloaked people about to kill me as I was on my way to Darren's house. Speaking of...that was exactly where I found myself. I was freezing in the bathtub so I tried to come out but Linda and some other women with her pushed me back inside the bathtub!I yelled Darren's name because of the overwhelming pain I felt as they immersed me in water." Just endure for a while Sharlynn! You need to remember!" I heard Linda say and I shook violently as I saw myself back on the pathway to Darren's house right before I was ambushed. I saw my body fall to the ground and the people Ave
