BLOODSTAINED PORTICO
“It started when I and my brother Luke went out to hunt,” Ophelia started.
She started from the very first thing she did that day, how she had breakfast with her family like she always did. How she messed up with her brother to drive him crazy that he ran crying into their mother’s embrace. She recalled how her mother, Aurora soothed Luke’s hair as she giggled while her father stood leaning on the door’s frame.
It was all very normal.
Until she decided to take Luke for a little hunt around their territory, which was something they did often together. They went out when the sun was low in the sky, dusk almost upon them and they would return later in the evening just in time to catch lunch. Ophelia ran up to her room to kick off her dress and get into her h

“Father, I think that’s enough.” Noah's sudden interruption brought both their attention to him. Bernard blinked in surprise, unable to read his son’s expression as he held his head low, his hair casting a shadow on his face. “Is something a matter?” Bernard asked, wondering what has gotten into him out of the blue. “If she knew something then she would’ve told you,” Noah stated, his voice was hostile but Bernard doubted it was because of him. Noah was worried for Ophelia. He saw the look on her face as she was forced to relive every minute of that cursed night. The hurt on her face was like knives in his heart. The sparkle in her violet eyes was gone, her mind locked her consciousness in a memory of a past she would rather forget. But then again, could she truly bring herself to forget the last memory of her family? Noah wondered and felt that the answer was obvious.Ophelia on the other hand was taken aback by the sudden outburst of emotion. She thought that Noah wouldn’t inter

“No,” Noah muttered, his voice horrified. “No, she can’t go!”Noah swiftly turned on his heels and dashed to the door, yanking it open in a loud clatter. Ophelia jumped in surprise at the sudden tantrum. She was waiting for Noah in front of the door leaning against the wall, not expecting such a…loud entrance. The horror on his face caught her eyes at first glance, a question mark appeared before her. What did the Alpha say to him that made him so spooked? She recalled the Alpha leaving just a minute ago and his face was far from being upset. Noah halted when he noticed Ophelia, his heart clenched painfully in his chest. He ignored it and looked around the hall in panic, hoping to catch a glimpse of his father but in vain. He sighed in defeat and that’s when he felt the lingering gaze directed at him. Ophelia stood still staring at him in hesitation. “Is everything okay?” She managed to ask, worried she might ignite him further. Noah didn’t notice that he was holding back his brea
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers ENTERTAINING YOUR FRIEND.
Noah hurried along to the training grounds. It was located outside the main house’s back fence. Noah could reach it in five minutes if he were to run, and that’s what he did. He couldn’t afford to give his father more time to confirm their visit to the Crescents with anyone. He had to stop it from getting official. Noah hesitated for a minute before the back gate, eyeing it with unease. He hated getting out of the main house, but he swallowed his anxiety and forced his feet to move as he pushed open the gates, ignoring the servant’s questioning stares. “Isn’t that the young alpha?” he heard a maid say. “Yes, I haven’t seen him in a while,” another one answered, adjusting the laundry basket in her grip. “And he is going outside at that.” Noah hated the attention, he knew they meant well but it wasn't enough for his anxiety to settle. He tried to block his ears as he finally got through the gate and off the main house land. The very pavement underneath his boot felt different than

Noah was angry, His fists clenched at his side.The smirk left Hero’s face after he felt the death glare. Noah’s red eyes seemed like they caught the fire that started in his heart, the anger was pure within his veins. It took him a moment to realize the kind of face he had on, he instantly released the tension from his muscles and his features relaxed to return to their soft features.‘What in the world was that?’ he asked himself while taking a deep breath. Hero has always been a nuisance, sometimes taking his jokes a bit too far but, it wasn’t something unusual to Noah. So why did he get so angry? He couldn’t understand the source of his anger.Ophelia and Hero felt like they were staring dagg
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers FIRST HAPPINESS
“You are sorely mistaken, Young Master,” Ophelia hissed. Rage scorched behind her violet eyes while her brows were arched painfully causing the skin in between to wrinkle, a side of her that Noah has never seen before nor did he ever catch a glimpse of. The bright usual princess he was used to has been erased as if she never excited. For a minute there, Noah feared that she might shift and release her wolf until he realized that it was impossible. If the human part of her was this raged, Noah doubted he wanted to meet the wolf. Despite the anger, Noah couldn’t look away because there was something else he saw. It was hard to grasp at first but, he figured that she wasn’t angry at him. This rage. This burning fire within her wasn’t because of Noah, it was already within her way before he provoked her. In fact, the incipient stage started the moment her home was set ablaze. It has been burning every sense, getting stronger with Ophelia’s every waking moment, every moment she shut
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers WHEN WE ARE BACK
Hand in hand, both Ophelia and Noah walked into the main house’s portico. They were the first ones to arrive, the reason was obvious, Ophelia couldn’t sit still for another minute in the infirmary with Noah. The wind was chilly on their cheeks, Noah shrunk into the fur of his black puff jacket, its collar reaching all the way up to his mouth. His hair reached almost to the nape of his neck while the top parted on either side of his head, reaching a little below his eyebrows. His scarlet eyes were bright behind the dark curtains of his hair. Despite being the future Alpha of the pack, he still couldn’t handle the cold. He stood at the edge of the stairs to allow the sunlight to warm his young body. On the other hand, Ophelia stood with her head up taking the cold air straight on. Noah could see the tip of her nose turning red with cold. “You are going to catch a cold,” he said, his voice muffled through the fabric. He could feel the fur against his tongue. “I’m not really cold,”
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers PILES OF SNOW
The cars came to a stop amid the frozen woods. The highway was far behind them at this point, there was nothing but dirt underneath the tires and snow coating everything around them. When the sound of the engines died, there was nothing now but the sound of nature around them. Ophelia was disappointed at the disappearance of the white noise, it helped her focus her nerves. Now, she felt that she was on the edge of collapse. Everything around her was familiar. It was home. Everything around her was home. This was where she and Luke would hunt rabbits and raccoons among the bushes, they would lay on the dirt with their eyes gazing heavenwards till the moon rises high in the sky. This was also close to where she shared her last moments with Luke before they returned to find their world upside down. Even the happy memories gave her doom. It took every bit of her power to focus on the task at hand. She wasn’t here to mope over her misfortunes. She was here to find out the truth. This w
Novaturient: Crescent Lovers THE BACKYARD OF OUR HOME
It was hard to tell from this distance if Ophelia was crying or not. But Noah couldn’t help but think that he saw her shoulders shudder. The naive part of him hoped it was only his imagination. However, if she was indeed crying, then he hoped she would let it all out. Let everything that she has been holding back until this moment.Noah felt a chill run down his spine the moment his eyes fell on the lifeless body of the woman on the portico. She lay on the stairs with her head resting on the blood-stained concrete handrail next to her. He had a hard time convincing himself that this woman was dead. If it hadn’t been for the snow covering her, it would have seemed as if she was sitting there waiting for someone to come home - for Ophelia to get back home.Noah felt his heart being pierced with a dagg
