Welcome to Greenleaf—the huge sign board read. The moment we drove into the beautiful and modern town, it was like everything got better. There was no way that Sam, his daughter, or Chad would be able to do anything to us in this town. “Wow,” My mom said at the same time that Gloria gasped. “This place reminds me of the human lands,” Gloria chuckled the words out. “Come on, mom. How do you know about how human lands look?” Jade’s voice was laced with some humor. He kept driving and from the look on his face, I could tell that he was amazed by the town too. “Son, I know a lot of things that would make your jaw drop. I once lived amongst humans. But that is a story for another time.” She smiled. “That is how I know that this town is almost a replica of how human places look.” “Well…yeah, you’re right. Humans once lived in this town; a long time ago,” I explained what I was told when I was in the town some days ago. “It’s so different, but in a beautiful and jaw-dropping way,” My m
“Hands where we can see them!” One of the policemen said loudly and with authority. My heart was racing and my eyes darted almost everywhere. Then Jade tried to calm me. “Hey, hey, calm down.” “They’re about to arrest us, Jade! How do you expect me to calm down? They could literally take us back to the rogue town and who knows what Sam would do to us.” I was panicking. When the policemen closed the distance between us and them, one female patted me down and searched me while a male officer did the same to Jade. When they realized that we had nothing on us that could be a threat to them, they took their hands off us and took a few steps back. “What’s going on here?” Jade asked confidently but got no response. A black sleek car then pulled over in seconds and the door was opened by one of the officers. From in the car came down a beautiful dark-skinned lady with curly hair. Her face was void of any expression and she was dressed in some sort of military uniform that I couldn’t reco
The air was cold and had a sweet smell. We were still in the room that looked like a conference room. From the windows, you could see the beauty of the town. It was very magnificent. Both natural and unnatural light filled the room, so we had no light problem. “Who can corroborate your story?” General Sara asjed again. We had her full attention and I could tell that she really wanted to know if what we just told her was true. But the thing was, we were not worried, because it was indeed true. If it was not, then we would have been worried, but not when it was. “Sam, Katara, and Chad can do that. They can corroborate our story,” I explained to her. “They were there, of course. Have them questioned. They would have to tell the truth because they wouldn’t want their application to the Supreme Court Of Packs to be threatened.” “Hmm…” She mumbled in response and chewed playfully on the pen. “But if they’re not the ones you were hoping we could use as witnesses then we have one more pe
Two months later, I was on my way to the werewolf prison. The sun was bright and yellow. The sky was blue and the wind was perfect. I wore my hair down and had the windows rolled down. The wind blew my hair back and it was actually really soothing. It felt like I was at the end of a movie, but I was far from that. My life was not over, in fact, I think it had just begun. In my past life, I was alive but barely lived. I was in constant pain and agony and when I was finally delivered from that kind of life, I was thrown into a new one that was filled with so much crap that I sometimes wished that I had not reincarnated. But now. Now, I was much much better. I was more mature. I was stronger in so many ways that I could not explain. I finally had peace and I got the revenge that I sought so badly. But I got it by letting go. I got my revenge by freeing myself from the hate, the anger, the rage, and the need to want to punch the wall over and over. I got my revenge and vindication for
Everything was going so well until it wasn't. I thought my life sucked at first, but what came after made me miss the mess of a life that I had. They say that when choosing revenge, that one should dig two graves--one for yourself. But I was way ahead of them. I had not only dug my own grave, but I was already ready to be buried. Nothing was going to stop me from getting my revenge! .......... I was the only daughter of the Alpha and Luna of the Thunder pack, a pack that was known for its strength, compassion, and resilience, but came with its challenges. I had always wanted to help my pack in a more meaningful way but was seen as too fragile because I had a rare medical condition that affected my breathing at times. From the day I was born, it was like I instantly became a burden to my family, and I hated that. Not like I told them that, because it would just be weird if I did, but I knew that it was true from deep down within my heart. Sometimes, I felt sorry for them; so
Darkness. There was darkness all around me. I had a strong feeling that I was dead but also knew that I somehow existed. It was hard to explain but I knew that I was somewhere though I did not know where.Suddenly, a bright light shone with brilliance before me. It was so bright that I had to look away. “I have seen your pain and misfortune. I have inhaled your grief and heartbreak.” A voice spoke from the light. I listened but feared to look.“Your life has been filled with so much fear. You have been held down by mortal sickness, by your parents, and even your pack. But most of all, you were given a death that you did not deserve.” The voice seemed like it was everywhere at once. “So I am going to give you a gift; something that only a select few have been given. And that is a second chance at life. Choose wisely what to do with this gift. But I’d advise that you take off the robe of fear and wear the robe of courage.” The voice continued. “Who are you?” I dared to ask as I shiel
I who was now Katara had to make a decision to keep my real identity hidden as long as possible; until I had a real plan to exact my revenge. I thought about killing the man that had killed me, maybe in his sleep but I knew that I had to do something bigger. Something that would let the rogue werewolves know that the Thunder pack that they wiped out had come back to bite them in the behind!I accepted the memories. I loathed who I now was, but it also gave me a chance to start over and get revenge. I needed not to be found out for who I really was. I needed to keep my true identity hidden no matter what.I stared at myself in the mirror. I had heard stories of people reincarnating before but never believed them to be true. But now I was actually living the proof that I needed. It all felt like a dream to me.I could feel tears building in my eyes as I remembered my parents. It was settling in that I was never going to see them again. They were gone. They were gone forever. I knew th
I stared at the guy for a few seconds longer than I should have. I had seen a lot of good-looking guys before but there was something about the green-eyed guy in front of me that awoke emotions buried deep within my belly.“Are you not going to pick up my books?” The guy crossed his arms on his chest and frowned. His tone was tense and he clenched his jaw. I finally came back to reality and made the attempt to bend down so I could pick up his books. It was my fault and I felt sorry for what had happened. “Hey, hey, hey!” Vanity stopped me from bending down to the floor. “Don’t touch those books. He’s the one that bumped into you.” She placed her hands on her hips.“Excuse me?” The guy chuckled dryly. “She was the one that bulldozed me!” He argued. “That’s no excuse, you should have seen her from a mile away,” Vanity fired back, and I felt uncomfortable. “You know what? I’m late for class, you two can go to hell.” The guy rolled his eyes and bent down to pick up his books. Vanity
