[Avira]Declan returned to the pack in the early hours of the next day, along with Gustavus and the other twenty warriors who had left with him."Thank you so much for bringing him back." I said to Declan, looking closely at him. He had come into my bedroom to announce their arrival, and he was acting all strange."Where's Magnus?" He asked."I had him locked up in one of the royal dungeons." I replied, and he nodded in approval.[Avira]"Yes, my family sold me to Alpha Magnus. They sold me to be killed by him, but he saved me, and instead he weaponized me so that I will never have time to face such rejection from anyone, ever." Gustavus' voice rang out loudly above the noise in the room."No! He deceived you. We would never sell you to him, or to anyone else." My mother's voice rang out amidst sobs."How would you explain that a man who doted on me suddenly didn't recognize me when I needed him to rescue me? How do you explain the fact that neither of you tried to stop him when he forcefully took me and Regina to have us killed?" He asked again."For many nights, I sat in darkness, and only the chirping of insects from afar kept me company. I thought I would lose my mind, some nights, I prayed I would die, but the Lunar goddess had better plans for me. She knew I would become strong someday to take revenge on my family for selling me into slavery.""You were so y

I said to Declan, looking closely at him. He had come into my bedroom to announce their arrival, and he was acting all strange."Where's Magnus?" He asked."I had him locked up in one of the royal dungeons." I replied, and he nodded in approval. "What do you plan on doing with him?" He asked."I remember asking you and Dylan, and getting no response." I replied. His countenance fell at the instant, and I became word."What leverage does your father have on you?" I asked him, and watched his eyes more closely than ever now. I wanted to see if there would be any shift in his expression, and what it would be.But there was nothing. He only hesitated, and then heaved heavily. "Luna!" Someone called quic
[Avira] "Avira is your sister." My mom said to Nanisca while they were still wrapped in each other's arms. "I know. I have always known. But I don't care." Nanisca replied. My mind was racing now. She knew all this while, and yet she had been nothing but cruel. She had even attempted to get me killed twice. How could anyone do that to their own sister? How could she hate me so badly when she knew who I really was, and how we were torn apart from each other? Images of Regina being a protective big sister flashed through my memory and I shuddered to hide the pain I felt. What happened to that protective big sister I had always known Regina to be? "What happened to you?" My mother asked after pulling away from the hug, as if she had just read my mind. I listened closely, I too was curious to know what had happened to Nanisca to make her all different and giant sized. There was nothing about her right now that showed that she i
[Avira]"Sound the summon bell," I ordered. I was referring to no one in particular, but one of the warriors stepped forward, and headed for the bell stand.While the clinking sound of the bell went off, I left hurriedly for my bedroom to get the Luna staff. At this point I reckoned that I would need it.When I returned a few minutes later with the Luna staff, the hall was packed full with pack members, each of them bustling with excitement, and at the same time with worry as to why they were being summoned again.I had half expected that after being sent a away a few hours ago, that they wouldn't harken to this call but I was wrong. They wouldn't dare disobey an Alpha obviously. I swept the entire room in one single glance, taking note of the excitement in their eyes, brought about either by the strangers in the room, or the staff in my hand. I focused my eyes on Dylan and Declan whose guilt-filled eyes had given way for surpr
[Avira] I followed my mother's pointed finger, and locked eyes with Magnus who looked like he would rather disappear from the room. No, it can't be! I said in my head, even though I knew it was true. My heartbeat was accelerating again. He didn't deny it, he just looked pleadingly from Dylan to Declan, both of whom had remained quiet all this while. "You killed my babies," my mother cried while Antonio comforted her. "Gustavus would be all grown up now if you hadn't killed him." She added as more tears poured from her eyes. Her tears were contagious because I soon felt a sting in my eyes. "Regina too would be–" She couldn't complete the sentence as she burst into fresh tears. I looked on, with my heart heavy, and with eyes that stung. They were captured after all, but why did Gustavus not say that as well? Her cries were more pitiful now, and it was shredding my
[Avira] My lips quivered uncontrollably as recognition hit me, and my heartbeat accelerated, following the recognition. My eyes travelled on their own to the others with my mom who now were staring at me with eyes that shone brightly in surprise. "Dad?" I called, advancing towards them. But Gustavus' words came back to me at that moment, and I stopped walking. Instead, I let my eyes focus on the last person in the company, and I felt my heart would burst open in…excitement? "Antonio?" I called, and advanced towards him. But when I got to a few feet away from him, I paused, skeptical. They all had blamed me for the fire even though I was but a child, and now that I was all grown up– after I was accused and abandoned to scale through life alone, I wasn't sure how to react to their actions. But Gustavus had also said that they were dead, both my mom and dad, and he had no idea where the rest of
[Avira]I did not realize how far into the night we had spent until the cloud gradually shifted and revealed the moon.I suddenly felt a burning sensation around my neck which prompted me to clutch my neck in a futile attempt to wriggle the fucking necklace off, but just as it was back inside the
[Dylan]I watched as Avira suddenly became uneasy once I mentioned the cave, and I wondered why. It was only a cave, and it was the only option I had with the other members of the pack nearly upon us."Is something wrong?" I asked again when she made no attempt to respond to my first question."It'
[Beta Maverick]It was easier to be a better guardian to Avira before now, before I ventured into the deepest part of the pack's forest, the part which was considered sacred, in search of answers, before I went rogue!Now, I was always angry, I felt the urge to inflict pain on others every second o
[Avira]I stretched lazily on the cold ground until my arms were restricted by a hard object, and I snapped my eyes open. I was sleeping peacefully until I woke up, and realized that I was still in the hollow of the tree. Although I had pretended to be okay with the arrangement last night, I was no
