THE RED MOON

“Happy birthday Belle! Wake up now!” In the early morning, while I was still enjoying my late sleep, I heard my brother Brandon yelling in my ear. I moaned and covered my head with my pillow to try to get rid of him."Go away! I'm trying to sleep!” I shouted through the pillow, even though I was sure that my voice came out choked. Shortly after, I heard Ryan, the eldest of the triplets, ask me in a teasing way:"Well, if you don't get up right away, we'll have to force you to do it. Are you sure that's what you want?” Instead of answering him, I turned my head the other way round."Very good Belle! You don’t give us a choice then”, said Charles, the youngest before everything became strangely silent. Just when I was about to check what they had intended to do, I found myself on the ground with three huge burdens on me. I moaned desperately when their weight crushed me."Why are you so stupid? ", I yelled at them when they finally managed to let go of me. I didn't really think what I

"No! No! No! No!”“It can't be possible. I can't meet a companion now. I'm leaving today. I won't see him again for a year. What if he rejects me? I can't be there for that, I can't," I objected to my shewolf inwardly.After my she-wolf pronounced the exact word, I began to panic mentally. I kept thinking about so many different scenarios and none of them ended well. My hands began to sweat and I began to hyperventilate.My she-wolf screamed with joy, calling her male again and again. I knew she wanted me to follow the smell, and judging by the way the smell became stronger and stronger, I knew it would be there from one minute to the next, I didn't stay around to find out who I was destined to be with. Instead, I pushed back my chair and ran through the back door of the class.I wasn't ready for that. I didn't want a companion.My she-wolf kept yelling at her partner, growling at me for running away, but I didn't care. Not only did I not want to, but also, I could not face it. All I

Finally, we arrived at the airport.I was sure my parents were getting lost on purpose. I did not know why, but I didn't want to dwell on that. When I got out of the car, I went to the trunk and grabbed my bags. I took them out before putting them on the floor. Thank God for the wheeled bags. Once everyone had their belongings, we headed to the entrance of the airport. As they passed through the doors, people all around walked quickly, some even ran, while others remained seated without doing anything. Without wasting time, we went to the counter to get our tickets. While we were there, I couldn't understand the fact that my heart still tended to break and that I wanted to cry a river of tears. But I had to be strong at that time, I couldn't let anyone see my pain, especially my brothers.While we were waiting in line, I felt my stomach gurgle. I told my parents that I had to go get something to snack on while they were all waiting there. As I entered the little shop, I looked around

Edmond’s POV (1 year later)I remember that when I was younger, my mother told me how she and my father met, how all this was perfect when they looked at each other for the first time. It was as if she was alive for the first time. I still remember that I aspired to this feeling, that I wanted to find the person who would make me feel this, understand and live the same love that my parents shared for each other. Now, when luck was finally presented to me, I ruined it. I rejected my partner because of her status in high school. What an idiot!When she left, I was already heartbroken, instantly regretting my decision when she walked through the front door. I wanted to catch up,try to talk to her and apologize, maybe even try again. I wanted to be the perfect companion she deserved but her dreams were broken when I tried to call her for the first time.It took a long time to ask my father for Belle's number. He was the last person I wanted to talk to. Indeed, I had gone around the whol

“We are nowhere so good as at home!" I shouted joyfully, without worrying if the whole world had just heard me. When I entered the corridor, I immediately dropped off my luggage.I missed our old house. Everything looked the same as we left. My parents had managed to bring a family friend once a week, to keep the house clean while we were all gone. I heard a growl behind me as I watched the others enter the house.“Are you really obliged to scream like that?”We are not deaf, and you are starting to give me a headache, "snored Liam, dramatically rubbing his head as if someone were hitting him on the head with a hammer. I rolled my eyes at his words.Indeed, I had already gotten used to this for a while now. “Can you really blame me? We were stuck in this flying machine of death for hours and I couldn't fall asleep.” I pouted, looking at him with the innocent air of a beaten dog. He gave me a mischievous look, knowing very well that I had not slept on the plane and that I had taken the
