LOGINMy eyes widened at the news given to me. Duncan… has escaped? With Ashley and one other werewolf? Who? Who could ever help them after what they did? How could they even think about helping them?!‘Oh wait, there is one werwolf who could be as stupid enough to lend aid to them. Or rather, lend aid to Ashley,’ I thought in realization, having a good guess of who their ‘helper’ could be. Not that it made anything any better.“Duncan and Ashley are… are free?” I asked in disbelief. “Is that why everyone was acting weird around me?”“With how you have acted, do you blame them?” he returned. A question that made me go silent. “Considering how doubtful you were just seconds ago about your place here, it could only mean you still have some lingering attachments to that pack. To that damn mutt.”I was baffled with the claim made about me. I still have lingering attachments to the Bluemoon? To Duncan?It seems he noticed my reaction, as Pularis then said, “No. To say you have ‘lingering’ feelin
Pularis suddenly stopped walking when I asked that question. An act that was more suspicious than the sudden silence I had to deal with with the other werewolves.“Alpha. Is there something I should know about?” I asked once again.“Nothing you need to concern with,” he answered.I probably should have just left it be at that, but I was not satisfied in the slightest with the response. “You were the one who said I should live peacefully in this pack. And honestly, that will be a lot harder to do if you all are keeping secrets from me,” I pointed out. “Not to say that I’m calling you a hypocrite, but I am calling what I am seeing.”Pularis remained silent as he stared at me. ‘Glare’, to be exact. Shaken as I was by the sight of it alone, I swallowed down my nerves, reminding myself of one vital thing at the moment.He was not using his Alpha Authority. If he wanted to, he could’ve just used it to make me be silent and forget about how people were acting. He did no such thing, which wo
"You're looking a little down."I jumped slightly when I heard a voice behind me, hoping I didn't accidentally shake Justin awake. Taking a quick glance behind me to see my son still asleep, I turned around to face the source of the voice. He who was none other than Pularis."Whoa. Didn't think you were so jumpy," he said, a bit shocked with my reaction."S-Sorry, Alpha," I apologized with a small stutter.He shrugged off my apology and took a look at my little passenger. "Well someone is all tired out. Must've been a very exciting day for the both of you," he stated.A small smile formed on my face at his statement, and I looked back at Justin as well. "Yeah. You could say today's been most especially memorable."A small hum escaped Pularis's lips. Next thing I knew, I felt Justin's weight leave my back, and turned to see the Alpha carrying him in his arms. "You must be tired, yourself, if he is," he said.I was taken aback with what he was insinuating with the action, and said, "Oh,
Susan's POVMy ears twitched at a faint sound I heard. Could be a low ringing in my ear, or a very faint howl, I wasn't entirely sure what it was, and I didn't care. Not when I have something more important on me."Mommy... Let me down," Justin sleepily demanded."Not when you're this tired. I'm not going to risk getting you in any sort of trouble sleepwalking to where you shouldn't be," I told him, carrying him on my back as I walked us back to Pularis's mansion.They say time flies when you're having fun, and they certainly weren't kidding about it. It did not feel as though much time had passed as I spent time with Justin. Not as we went to all the various food stalls, watched all sorts of performances, and even played some games here and there. There were even people who welcomed me as a new member of their pack, as well as some werepups whom Justin befriended in the time we were apart. They were such sweet kids, and their parents were just as kind. No discrimination nor isolation
To say that I was surprised with the turn of events would be an understatement. For with how things were looking, getting surrounded like this, it was almost as though Oswald saw me as an enemy.“Oswald, what are you-?” I never got to finish my question, as I suddenly felt a powerful force push me down, incredibly strongly. I glanced to the side, and saw Ashley and Spencer just as affected by an invisible force. Only theirs did not seem as bad as mine.“That’s ‘Alpha’ Oswald to you, rogue,” Oswald spoke, in a tone I never heard him use before.“Oswald, if this is supposed to be a joke, I’m not in the mood for bad jokes right now,” I warned him, and felt the force on me grew, forcing me down to my knees.“‘Joke’? Like all the bad jokes you’ve made since childhood?” Oswald questioned. “Pushing me into things I never want to do, mocked me for my frail-looking appearance, making me the butt of your lame jokes. "What? Come on, I was only giving you a little push all those times. You know
Duncan's POVMy breathing was heavy as I ran through the woods with Ashley and Spencer by my side. The three of us ran as fast as we could, not to chase down some prey for our hungry stomachs, or for shelter from the rain and cold. No... What we were running from was..."There they are!""Don't let them get away!""Dash, Hunters, dash!"A group of hunting werewolves. From a pack allied with the Bluemoon Pack, whose Alpha is one of my friends."Noo! Leave us alone, you stupid bunch of dogs!" Ashley cried out. A cry that remained ignored by our chasers. “Spencer, do something!""I can't! They have us outnumbered!" Spencer exclaimed. "Alpha, I thought you said the Obsidian Pack will be glad to take us in. 'Take us in' as in help us; not arrest us!""They were supposed to help us! As I mentioned, their Alpha is my friend! Or so I thought, at least!" I told him.I know I am not mistaken to think such. I shouldn't have mistaken it. Ever since we were kids, any Alpha meetings our fathers wou
"Do you see it? That’s your new home down there,” Pularis said, pointing at a rather large mountain up ahead of us.Justin widened his eyes in shock and awe at the sight. “You live up a mountain?!” he asked, getting a chuckle out of us adults.“It’s not that he lives in a mountain, Justin,” I calml
We soon arrived at Pularis’s mansion. Upon arrival, Justin, Caitlyn and I were ushered in, while the driver took care of our luggage. “You don’t have to take those for us. We can take them ourselves,” I told him, wanting to help carry our belongings. “It’s not an issue in the slightest, madam. Ri
Standing around my parents’ graves were an abundance of werewolves. Why they had gathered here, I wouldn’t know. It was not as though either of them were wolves of high ranks, nor were they that well known as individuals. I did notice a familiar face amongst the group, though. She who also noticed
Duncan's POV“AH! N-No… Please…! Stop!” Ashley cried out, as one of her two tormentors kept beating her with a spiked bat. The spikes made of silver as to severely burn her, as well as make her bleed.“STOP IT, YOU BASTARDS!” I shouted, trying to break free from my binds to free her, only for that
