he heavy rain splattered against the black umbrella didn’t stop the vigilant gaze from piercing through the crowd. Amor stood there and calculated that the murder of a witch, a rogue in his territory, could lead to a war between witches and wolves. Whatever was there, something big was coming their way, challenging their existence. An unexpected encounter in the woods followed by these murders. Could he be the one behind all this? Or is someone else involved in this game? “Did you find the head?” Amor questioned, looking at Jasper. “Yeah, down the alley.” “Was it a pack member?” Amor was raised as an alpha. It was his responsibility to protect everyone in his pack. “No, he was a rogue.” His scrunched brows didn’t halt with further queries. He sniffed the jacket Jasper was holding. “The woman was a witch. Someone else was there,” Jasper added. Amor and Jasper headed back into the house, which was now sealed with yellow tape. The sheriff was Amor’s friend and benefited from the w
Sitting alone in his room, Amor was amazed by the revelation his dad had presented to him. The paramour bloodline was known as sex slaves; how come that witch had this mark on a piece of paper?Now the things were getting clear; he was looking for a Lycan and a paramour woman carrying this mark in his territory.Now that he understood the importance of it, he needed to know how Savannah was involved in all this. He wanted to confront her, but couldn’t find a solid reason to go to her dorm and talk to her.It’s been two days, and he needed to find out every detail about her.His train of thought rested when someone knocked at the door.“Brother,” Nathan poked his head inside.“What?” Amor replied casually.“I have invited my friends today, including Savannah.” Amor’s ears alerted. Till now, he has told no one about this situation except Jasper and his father.“Why? Is there any special occasion?”“Nothing. As the holidays are coming, we all had planned to visit cabins this Friday.” Nat
The full moon night was about to come, and this time Savannah would not take the risk, whatever it was she felt last time. Nathan and her friends wanted to take her to the cabins, and she agreed as she wanted to escape all this chaos.“What are you thinking?” Nathan questioned, sitting next to her in the library.“Nothing,” she lied; Amore showed her the same picture. And he is involved in all this. She had to be careful, too.“I am hoping you are not sliding back.” Nathan teased.“No, I already asked my aunt. She agreed.” Savannah answered, knowing how difficult it was for her to make Shela agree to one condition. She had to take the pills with her.“That’s good to know. What about Jenny? Is she coming?”“Yes, she will join,” Savannah added with a smile.“I am excited. We will have a good time.” Nathan winked and picked up his bag.“Where are you going?” Savannah asked, following his steps towards the exit.“Need to arrange a few things for all of us. I don’t want just to go and sit
“Savannah,” Jenny called again while she was busy completing her stuff for the trip. This trip could be a stress buster, and Savannah needed it. Since the time she landed on this university campus, things have gotten complicated. She encountered several unnatural things which she never expected. She opened her drawer, and her eyes stuck on the long-forgotten packet. The pills box Sheila has gifted ways the gift was from her mom.“Savi, how long are you going to take?” Jenny interrupts her thoughts by tapping on the door.“I am coming,” Savannah stuffed the pillbox in her bag while zipping it up as she placed her bag. Her eyes shifted unconsciously towards the calendar, seeking the full moon night evening coming in the next two days. Having pills is no harm; she had to prepare herself for the unexpected. If things happened again, she would be ready for it. Besides, Sheila already mentioned the importance of these pills.“Nathan has sent his car to pick us up,” Jenny giggled, looking do
As the morning sun sparkled above her head, Savannah’s eyes fluttered to welcome the sunlight. Last night’s investigation was enough to reason for her late waking time, and she finally remembered where she saw that house.It was in her dream. She saw the same house abandoned house in her dream on her birthday. She looked around to share this news with Jenny, but she was not there. Dropping her duvet from her body, she walked towards the restroom to follow her routine, but she remembered something more than that.It was the day when it all started last month. Today was the full moon night; the last time she remembered, she started feeling sick with a dizzy head and heightened senses to hear everything. Her skin was burning the last time like molten lava.She unintentionally scanned the mirror, looking at her illusion, which hinted at her usual self. To be assured of her health, she observed her mark, which seemed regular, like her skin color.What is happening to her? She had an encoun
The blood in her veins went cold, and her senses turned numb. She was watching her death in the eyes of those deadly wolves drooling with venomous saliva. On the other hand, she was not sure if this wolf who was shackled next to her would save her or would enjoy feasting on her body. At that moment, everything flashed through her mind about how Sheila loved her and her little sister Monique. The unfinished goals of her life and that entire bucket list she had in her treasure box. Everything crossed in her memories, and she closed her eyes, making those dreams roll down her cheeks.Call it the anxiety or the effect of moonlight milking its way on her body, her body tensed up, and the symptoms she had on the last full moon night surfaced. The cold dead veins bubbled with fresh blood and changed their appearance into black veins. It was the first she felt when her ankle bone twisted on her own, and her hazel eyes sparkled, making those deadly wolves scrutinize their hollow eyes.What is
He picked up her cold, feather-like frame and looked at her face. The moment he had waited for so long slipped from his hand like sand. He knew and scented the changes her body hinted her wolf was about to show up, but what happened in that friction of the moment that made her wolf slip away? His raging eyes turned glossy, watching his delicate frame suffer a lot.“Savannah,” he whispered, turning back into his human form. If given a chance, Titan would have marked her. But Octavio begged her Titan to check on her with a promise they would take her now.“Let me mark her. We both know she got the wolf.” Titan yelled.“No, she cannot sustain,” Octavio argued.Titan tasted her blood again on his taste buds.“She smelled like one, but I am sure something was not right.”“Yes, that is why we need to take some help,” Octavio added.“What help? I don’t want to lose her,”“I think something is stopping her wolf from showing up. We need to seek help from Elena.” Octavio added, and Titan stiffe
Fear triggers to become active for self-defense or shut down the entire system. For Savannah, it was shutting down her entire system and aligning the memory one after another. The sheer morning lights entered, and they were ready to tap on her eyelids. Like her usual morning,s she cringed when those sunlights flashed on her closed lids, but the surge of pain crossed her body and started her senses actively to be in hibernate mode. She fluttered those lids and adjusted her cornea with the heavy lights, calculating it was late morning.The sight in front of her eyes was not her usual dorm and the glass slider, but it was a wooden room, like a typical farmhouse showing the plain grounds filled with sprinkled bunches of haystacks.Adrenaline shot through her brain. She sat up in haste and surveyed around. The wall was not delicate with eye-soothing color but filled with dark grey, holding an old scenic painting and a wall-size mirror emitting her illusion.Looking at herself in the mirror
