I am lying flat on the ground, with my face a couple of inches away from the brown animal, his brown eyes staring into my green ones. Everything and everyone is still. It is oddly quiet, the silence of the night only broken by a terrifying howl. My eyes open into the morning light. Was I dreaming? No, I was not dreaming. I was recalling the events of last night. It was all real, all of it. The inhuman physical strength, the murders, and the transformation... They are werewolves. There I said it. Not that saying it makes it any better or believable. This is just so hard to believe. These things do not exist in real life. There is a reason it is called fantasy. I am a bag of mixed emotions. Terrified; confused and, more than anything else, I am hugely fascinated.After all, whatever I know about werewolves is from the teen novels and movies. I know after last night that they do not change on only the full moon. But they are so many other things that I have no clue about. Like, can
“I understand it’s too much to take at once, to imagine that everything you have known about your history and present is not the complete truth, that the world is more than what you imagined. I think we need to start from the beginning. You need to know how we werewolves came to be. The FIRST WEREWOLF. “Wow!! Just one, I thought, ‘blessed ones’ were in the plural.So, it all started with just one person? But I do not have time to clarify as Avo narrates the story of the first werewolf.“This goes several millennia ago when humans first came to be. Apart from animals and your flora and fauna, the earth was also inhibited by beings called the ‘Old Gods‘.““Old Gods?““Yes, the old Gods, or what mythology calls the Titans & Olympians. You have surely heard of them, Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, and the list goes on. These Old Gods were deities of unique elements that represent nature and life, like Poseidon was the God of Sea, Ares was the God of War, and of course, Zeu
“Oh! So, you think you know everything about werewolves,” he said in a menacing tone. And with that, all his earlier concern is gone. “Huh! You might know everything about werewolves, but what you do not know is that I am not a werewolf. And if you knew anything about me, you would run from here screaming stray.”I have no clue what he was talking about, of course, he was a werewolf. Did he not remember that I have already seen his wolf? I for one cannot forget that sight, his large imposing build covered in grey fur, topped with a set of menacing dental anatomy and those endless grey orbs. As terrifying as that description is, I am still not as scared as I should be. I could still feel his soft fur through my fingers. I wondered if I will ever get a chance to feel that again. Truth be told that is not all that I want to feel...I mentally pinched myself back to reality & tried not to get distracted. “I told you I know about you, I know about the blessed ones, the first werewolves, a
"From what Lucifer explained to me once, we are mated to the person who can help us reproduce the strongest offspring." "I would not trust Lucifer's words about mates." The voice came loud and clear, and we both turned around to see Avo standing at the door, looking at us intently. While Avo was remarking on what Draco had said, he was looking directly at me. "Avo, You are back!" Draco said excitedly running towards Avo, mirroring my own excitement on seeing him. "I thought you guys were going to be back the day after tomorrow," he asked. "And miss your first day of School? Never!" Draco pouted, which earned him a not-so-serious glare from Avo who knew very well how Draco felt about school. If Draco had not told me I would have never guessed that Avo had only been with them for a decade and that they did not who Avo really was when he first came. "How are you my darling Omerta?" Avo turned to me, extending his arm for a hug and I happily obliged giving him my best smile. "So
I was in my room changing for bed, my thoughts still held up by Avo's revelation. Only if Avo would have let me ask him about Lucifer...As soon as I took off my top and bra, I heard a sudden movement behind me. I turned to see the window completely open. "Wasn't that window ajar?" I mumbled to myself.The lights were already out, and there was no way anyone would come inside. We were on the fourth floor.I thought there must be something outside and continued undressing, readying myself for bed. As I reached for my night suit I heard another noise, like someone was trying to open my bedroom door. I did not have enough time to wear my night suit, so I quickly got into bed and hid under the covers. I had just put the covers on me when the door was kicked open, and I heard that word.Just in time! What was he doing here?"Stray!" It was the same familiar word that I had heard multiple times by now, but still, it sounded different this time. It was missing its usual harshness, instead
Set's POV Earlier that day "Why don't you go ahead & get yourself a 'quickie', brother?" I teased Lucifer. "Quickie?" Giovanni cocked his eyebrow, with an impish smile play "Don't get excited! Giovanni." I said"The quickie opportunity is for Lucifer, not you", looking at the swarm of warm bodies that were gathered in this club. "Set!" Avo made a half-attached attempt of minding me. "I just meant that Brother dearest, should hand things over to his beast, who will no doubt slaughter them in a whiffy, so we can all go home. Just in time for the first day of school." I explained while giving a full-blow smile to Lucifer. "And why should that bother me?" Lucifer asked, knowing the answer to that question. After all, he had indirectly inquired with Avo multiple times about the school session. "Because it's Omerta's first day at school. I thought you knew Luci!" I smirked, knowing this would irk him. And as expected, that earned me a loud growl from Lucifer, who was again trying to
I had my eyes shut, but I was still able to smell the sweet spicy scent of the white Plumeria that played with my senses, felt the softness of its petals on my fingertips. I had no idea where I was. As I opened my eyes, the meadow filled with white Plumeria filled my view, I knew I was at the triangular basin that contained Lake Pergusa. Its pristine blue water reflected the clear sky, the tremors on the water's surface, and the blowing wind created a whooshing sound, that seemed like it was calling out to me, pulling me towards itself, enticing me to feel the cool blue water. I gave in to the temptations, and I started walking towards the lake. As I edged closer, my hands reached out to the locket hanging around my neck, as if acting on its own accord. That locket was the only connection that I have with my mother. The locket had started to feel warm on my skin, giving a tingling sensation wherever it touched. I was already at the edge when I stretched out my hand to touch the wa
She was here, here in school.“Elenora!" I said automatically "You are here, in Enna.”Elenora, the 'IT girl' from my school & neighborhood in New York, was here in Enna, in all her glamorous glory, standing at the entrance of the cafeteria.What was she doing here? There was no way they would move here. Her father had elaborate businesses in New York and was a high-ranking official in the New York mafioso, well respected and feared. There was no way they would move here.I was still speculating about her presence here when she started walking towards me, swaying her hips with supermodel confidence, and only stopped when she had reached right there in the middle of the cafeteria.There she stood, right at the center, her five-foot-six-inch curvy form demanding every ounce of attention from everyone present there. Her delicate, sweet heart shaped face was frame
