Do you know that feeling you get when you think someone’s looking at you or even following you? That’s exactly what I was feeling. Why should I worry? Because I’m in my f-ing bathroom. Who would be able to get inside my bathroom without anyone else at home noticing? I try to evaluate what movement would be the smartest without giving the intruder a tip that I noticed his/her presence. I mind linked my parents to ask if someone had arrived after I came upstairs but got no answer. Weird. I try to mind linking my sister and nothing. I rinse my hair after massaging my scalp with my coconut and strawberries shampoo. I hear a really low growl but try t
The week went by fast. We haven't heard from you since we've even seen Alpha Maxwell. It was as if he had evaporated, no one was able to contact him, so the responsibilities of the entire pack were passed on to the Beta, my father. When we least expected, we were one day from my rite of passage. Mellana returned after explaining the situation to the leader of her clan and would guide us to the entrance to the witches' territory. It’s part of the tradition for the wolf that will go through the rite and her or his family to sleep the night before in the sacred lands of the witches so they can be purified. We are all packing our things so we can get there before nightfall.“Are you okay, love?” Sam asks me while embracing me from behind as we in the backyard waiting for everyone.“Yes, I just have a lot on my mind right now. I’m tryin
We’ve been walking between these dark trees for quite some time now. The gloomy atmosphere of this place scares me, makes my senses be on full alert and Lua can't help feeling restless. Once in a while, I feel my mates trying to calm me by touching my hand gently, or stroking my back and my head. Even though I know they're there, I can't let my guard down, my instincts were screaming at me so I wouldn't distract myself and keep my attention everywhere. Mellana signalizes for us to hide as apparently she saw something and it might mean danger for us.Instinctively I stand right behind my sisters who are after our parents. My mates are behind me and we're all down, trying our best to camouflage ourselves between the dry foliage of the bushes and low trees. I took the time to pay more attention around us. It seemed that a gloomy presence lived in that place, everything was so dark and sinister that even
“Meet the gods?” I asked her softly while frowning slightly.“Yes, my child. We were waiting for you to be woken up for 18 years.” She says while I opened the window just a little to feel the breeze that ran freely through my hair and inside the bedroom.“When? Where? I need answers.” I softly request.“Don’t worry, my beautiful kid. You’ll get your answers when the time is right.” She says as her voice fades and the moon doesn’t seem to be that bright anymore. A soft knock on the door pulls me back from the trance I was in.“Come in.” I answered promptlySam, Shaw, and Sawyer entered the room wearing casual clothes. I giggle when I realize they're
Selene guides me through what seems to be a cloudy path. Everything around us is so bright but also has a touch of color. The clouds have these amazing shades of pastel colors like orange, pink, and yellow too. It was like we were right above the clouds when the sunset was happening. I was astonished by the natural beauty of that magical place.“We have arrived.” Selene announces.“Where?” I was confused as it didn’t seem to have anything close.“You can’t see it yet. Just someone with the blood of a god or goddess can’t be fooled by the veil.” Moon Goddess explains.“Then how am I supposed to see it?” I politely asked her.She grabs a knife she has on her hips
The next morning I woke up feeling fresh and well-rested but to an empty bed. I looked around but there were no signs of my mates. I got up from the bed and looked out the window. The day was beautiful, birds sang joyfully through the sky, the trees seemed to dance lightly with the gentle breeze running between them, and the sun shone brightly, and it was reaching its highest point. I ran to the bathroom, stopping only to grab a change of clothes in my backpack and head to the shower. I was feeling light, refreshed, and still couldn't believe what happened last night. It didn't seem to be real, but Lua confirmed to me that it actually happened.After I stepped out of the shower I changed into the clothes I got on my bag, brushed my teeth, and let my hair down. I looked at myself in the mirror and did not only feel fresh but I also looked bright. The miracle of a good night of sleep.
As the leader announces the beginning of the ritual I feel a barrier come up around the clearing, sealing us inside of it. Mellana approaches me with two chalices. One containing a dark red liquid, in a burgundy shade. And the other contrasting in white, but seemed to have a denser texture. She gives me the one with the red liquid.“First, you drink the potion to open your body.” The leader announces and I do as she says drinking the tasteless red liquid.“Then you are marked to receive the moon goddess' greatest blessing.” The leader commands, to which Mellana responds by dipping her index finger into the white liquid and drawing symbols across my face and shoulders.“And then you can come closer and stand with me in the inner circle.” She says lowering her voice a bit while I wa
“Come on, aren’t you the three most powerful alphas? Come on!” He provokes the triplets. “You’re three and I’m only one.”I looked at him and my vision did a zoom on his side pocket as something shone discreetly. He was carrying a knife perhaps?“Don’t go.” I mindlink the boys. “He’s with a knife.”“We’re not afraid, love.” Shaw mind-linked me back.“Please, trust me on this. Don’t go.” I mind-linked them again.“Are you afraid you might not be that strong as everyone thinks?” Maxwell followed, provoking the young alphas.“You may consider your
I gasp as I recognize the energy ball floating in front of me. It has been a while since it manifested to me. The memories of that night still made me shiver in fear. A lot of questions were running wild in my mind as I tried to put all the pieces together.“I never got the chance to thank you” I whisper, still in shock.“Thank me for what?” It answers me.“You appeared to me that night.” I say to her in a low tone. “When Maxwell tried to attack me, kidnap me. I don’t know.”“You don’t have to thank me.” It says lowering itself closer to the water surface.“Of course I do!” I object."No, you don't
