Mabel.

I nodded slowly, my eyes still resting on the stranger who now I know to be Marcus.

He leaned back against the tree, and his face remained calm but hard to read. His name sounded familiar like I had heard it before. I tried to remember where and when, but nothing came back to me.

The air between us seemed to shift slightly the moment he said it, I had to try to calm things down a bit.

"Are you… are you human?" I asked, cautiously.

Marcus chuckled, the sound low and warm. "Yes, no—it’s complicated," he replied, eyes scanning mine as he spoke.

"Not something I like to talk about."

I nodded again, feeling the heaviness behind his words. His body looked slightly tense, but his voice still held its softness. His green eyes looked into mine intently, holding reluctance behind his gaze.

I wanted to reach out to him. To know what his heavy eyes held back, but for some reason, I didn’t. Deciding it's best not to push him. So I kept nodding.

We sat in silence for a while. Couldn't help

    Mabel.I heard it at first, but I wasn't sure. Didn't stop me from moving in the direction of the voice.Then it came again. "Help me!" A desperate cry from a not-so-far distance.I rushed down, avoiding the stumps and roots as the scent lingered heavily. It got stronger as I stumbled forward, still tired and dazed. The scent lingered like smoke in my senses, clouding my vision. It had to be him. It had to be Lev just that the voice wasn't his.I got to the corner from where the sound came, the scent too lingered heavily around here. It had to be Lev. I steadied myself, bracing to meet him but stopped dead in my tracks as I turned the corner.Laying on the ground and clutching his leg tightly was a stranger. A man who couldn't be more than 30, his golden hair looked rough while his green eyes blended with the forest. I didn't realise that I had been staring for a while till he looked up at me, his green eyes bore into mine.I turned my face instantly, trying to cover my blush.“Hey,”

    Marcus.She called out for Lev, her voice so faint, so light such that a human ear wouldn't hear it.Watching her lay on the floor, calling out to Lev made me feel a sense of pity towards her. Maybe she could be as harmless as she looks."Lev?" She called out again, this time, with more force behind it. Her deep questioning tone sparked a sense that she knew something.I quietly moved around, turning my head from side to side as my unsettled mind searched for any sign of Lev. But there was none.The thought that ran through my mind afterwards was how she was able to sense me or him. Last I checked, she couldn't tap into her wolf instincts."Lev!" This time around she yelled it with gusto, supporting herself with the tree and roots around her till she got up on her feet.I ducked as she pushed her head up, sniffing out the air. She looked to be following a trail.Then it all clicked. The bond between them was sealed when Lev marked Mabel as his mate, signified by the mate scent—the onl

    Malia."What if I'm here because of Lev?" George asked, his voice soft."You really think I'll change my mind just because you mentioned his name?" "Yes," I said flatly."I guess you are really hyping my interest in Lev," I scoffed."I thought you liked him.""I did—don't get me wrong, I still like Lev but lately? He's been giving me a major attitude," I said with a frown."Lev can be a handful at times but he does care," George spoke softly."You know all about that," I retorted."What do you mean?"I mean that—you have been giving me attitude since the other night.""Malia, I came for something serious," George said sternly.I rolled my eyes, dramatically dropping the book with a heavy thud on the table."Of course you did, no one cares about me enough to just come and check up on me—regardless of what I do, I'm still just Malia," I folded my arms across my chest and looked away from him, this time—honestly unhappy.A long period passed without either of us uttering a word.Then Ge

    Mabel He was asleep and for the first time since I met him, he looked completely vulnerable—his face was bruised and bloodied, one eye nearly swollen shut. His chest rose and fell unevenly, each breath came with a sound of pain—the stiffness of his features explained his pain. I stood over him with a damp cloth in one hand and a bowl of water resting at my feet, my own hands trembled but I wasn't scared. I crouched down beside him, dipping the cloth into the warm water and moving it gently over his body, wiping away the blood on his skin. I dipped the cloth back in the bowl, squeezing it once and watching the blood mix with water swirl down before bringing it back to his face, gently cleaning away the mess there. His body shook each time I swiped on an open flesh. Every touch was careful, every swipe of the cloth came with a silent apology for the pain I put him through and still putting him through. He didn’t wake up, not even when I touched the side of his neck—my hand

    Julia. They stood like statues, Luke and Marcus stood across from each other, staring and thinking. Luke had blood all over him—bruised but still standing tall, holding onto his bat with trembling hands and across from him, Marcus, who rolled his shoulders back in a relaxed manner, his lips tucking into a smirk—a look that I was all too familiar with. "Are you certain you want to do this, Luke?" Marcus asked, walking slowly—his boots crunching over the marble floor as he walked slowly in a circular path. "All I want is Mabel, give her to me and I'll leave peacefully," Luke replied, following his movements gently—watching him carefully. "After all you have done? You ruined every possibility of peace the moment you barged into my territory and started killing my men," Marcus snarled. "I did what I had to do." "Oh really? What makes you think that you have the right to stand anywhere near me?" Luke didn't respond. "You really think you're in the same league as me? You, w
