EsmeraldaTo say that I was flabbergasted wasn't enough to justify my feelings as my sight greeted three pups chatting and arguing with each other. That they didn't smell my presence nor Selene's presence was the height of it. The height of negligence! A smile forced its way through Madam Dora's shocked face, "You see, they are chatting with each other. That is nice," Her face might have forcefully brightened up with a smile, but her thinned lips and scrunched nose didn't fail to show how disgusted she was. Nice indeed! What was so interesting in their chats that they didn't notice the presence of two wolves and a witch? knowing how the scent of witches infuriated wolves!How incompetent they were! A wave of displeasure crashed on me, drowning the previous fear I had. Anger surged through me as their ears turned deaf to Madam Dora's feet tapping. I thought werewolves had super hearing. Or were they deaf? Certainly not. Shutting my eyes tight, I resisted the urge to use my Luna
Phoebe"How dare you!" I growled louder, baring my sharp canines at him. My eyes burned with fire as a new wave of anger crashed through me, flooding my veins, and consuming me to my fullness like a volcano about to erupt. Breathless and blinded by raw rage, I sank my claws deep into his neck, salivating shamelessly as I watched the blood run freely on his neck, staining my fingers. A new wave of thirst shot up in my dry throat, urging me to have a taste of my father's delicious blood. "Phoebe, stop this madness!" He yelled in fright, seeing how I eyed his blood hungrily. Madness?! He was the mad one here. He didn't call it madness when he impregnated a whore and gave birth to a bastard. But he called it madness because of my reaction?!He hasn't seen madness yet. This was just the beginning. "You'll kill him, Phoebe!" Kruella, my wolf whimpered in my head, disconnecting my earlier rage."I don't care. He hurt me," I sniffed, blinking back the burning tears that hung in my eyes
Phoebe "Phoebe?" He called, startling me.My temper sparked as my previous anger gripped me, threatening to roar back to life. But I knew better than to subject myself to my raging emotions. It was only a matter of time.Patience was all I needed.My teeth clenched in disgust as his shaky hands touched mine. Those firm hands that I loved to touch now turned cancer to me, "What?"He shuddered, surprised at my harsh voice, "Are...are you alright?" His voice quivered and his breathing turned erratic."I am," I replied, surprised by how dangerously calm my voice was. "But you hurt me," His eyes roamed my face, checking for emotions, but fear and disappointment flashed through his eyes when he found none. I would have torn you apart. My eyes met his pierced skin. It was healed, but only the traces of dried blood remained. "Really?" I asked with lack of interest. He adjusted beside me, "What did I tell you about hurting people? And what are you supposed to do?" My blood boiled in an
Esmeralda"No way!" Vanessa's high-pitched voice filled the air, stinging my ears as I fought the urge to cover them with my palms. Madam Dora's curious gaze met hers as she cocked her head to the side, giving her a suspicious look, "Excuse me?" She asked in a manner that deserves an explanation. "Nothing, Madam Dora...she just can't," Vanessa stammered, avoiding Madam Dora's penetrating gaze. Oh, baby, I can and I would! "She just can't what?"A long weary sigh escaped Vanessa's lips, "She can't be in charge of the Alpha's quarters," She chewed on her bottom lips, balling her fists, "I mean, how would this..." Her voice trailed as her gaze fell on me, pinning me to the floor with a disgusted look as if I were garbage. "...Low-life girl walk into the house and all of a sudden, she would be in charge of the Alpha's quarters? Who does that? On whose permission?""The Alpha's permission," I started, watching her bulged eyes. My answers were short and clipped. Gasps flew from eve
EsmeraldaTension hung in the air as all eyes were locked on a confused-looking Vanessa who stood transfixed on a spot, hands on hips and head going wild with thoughts. "Just walk to the door, open it and meet the Alpha," Bryan's whisper broke the silence.Silence. Thick silence reigned in the room as Vanessa was still glued to the spot, contemplating her decision. "Why are you not walking?" Bryan's voice taunted her again. Sarcasm was evident in his voice. A few awkward seconds passed and Vanessa was still rooted to the spot."Have you forgotten how to walk?" "Cut it out, Bryan," Vanessa snapped, hissing loudly, "How do you expect me to go to the Alpha for petty reasons," Her furious eyes found mine, giving them a dreadful look. "But you just dared us," Bryan rolled his eyes in disgust, "I knew it. I knew they were all empty talks. You've always been a scared puppy who pretends to be brave around new intakes, like Esmeralda and her friend,""Don't you dare," Vanessa rushed to la
EsmeraldaThe more we trod deeper and deeper into the dimly lit hallway, the more my heart pounded against my ribs, threatening to pull it apart. I couldn't help the negative thoughts that slowly crept into my head, erasing the little amount of bravery in me. We were accompanied by an uncomfortable silence, except for the echoes of our footsteps and the sharp intake of our breaths. Why was she not talking? Why was she not acting nice anymore?Why was she cold all of a sudden?Stealing a glance at her, I was greeted with a serious face and a heavy frown plastered on it. Where was the bright smile? The cheerful face? The assuring words? The sweet voice? But there was none. Then it dawned on me that I had been deceived. Deceived by Jade who pretended to be my friend, and who acted all nice and loving in the public but opposite in the private. Maybe Vanessa was better after all. At least, she made it known that she hated my guts and I was fine with it. Now, I understood better. Th
EsmeraldaGluing to a spot, unable to run as I was paralyzed with fear, my gaze shifted to the shadow slowly striding toward me filling me with disbelief. Help me Moon goddess. Help me Moon goddess. I muttered inwardly, afraid to let even the tiniest sound of my voice escape. Shaking vigorously like a leaf as my legs started to give way, my eyes rose to meet the shadowy figure and I was greeted with darkness, thick darkness except for her blazing eyes that shone brightly in the dark like a ball of fire, illuminating the room. Just like...No! Swallowing the lump that got stuck in my throat, I pressed my thighs together to keep them from shaking. But the more I pressed it, the more it got wetter and wetter, moisturizing me with my pee. Where was Jade? Where the fuck was she? Why did she leave me here?A deafening pearl of evil laughter, jolted me from my thoughts, almost making my body grace the floor. A gasp slipped from my lips and my eyes widened in horror at the recognitio
EsmeraldaDisbelief washed over my face at the recognition of the voice. So clear, yet ambiguous. So calm, yet dangerous. So brief, yet confusing. So deadly, yet charming. Surely, it belonged to Phoebe...but at the same time, it sounded like Vanessa's. Stealing a glance at the figure before me to clear my doubt, I was greeted with confusion. How could one voice sound like that of two people? Or were ears deceiving me? How could Vanessa possess such a physique as Phoebe? I was sure my eyes weren't deceiving me either. "Vanessa?" I asked in a whisper, trying to steady my breath but it only worsened. "In the flesh," She replied, filling the air with a deadly aura that choked me. I should have known that this girl was dangerous. She never spewed empty threats. That instant, I knew I was done. "You should have stayed in your lane, but you chose to cross it," She continued, filling the air with her deadly voice, "You messed with the wrong girl. Now, I will show you what I am
