George knew that full moons were a crucial time for werewolves, as it was during these times that their transformations were at their most potent. He worried that Lily might not be ready for such an intense experience, and that the consequences could be disastrous. George was a seasoned werewolf himself, and he knew firsthand the dangers of an unprepared transformation.
Despite her father's concerns, Lily was determined to go. She had already experienced transformation once before, and while it had been a frightening experience, she knew that it was something she needed to do in order to fully embrace her werewolf nature. Lily assured her father that she was ready, and that she would take all the necessary precautions to ensure her safety and the safety of those around her.
Reluctantly, George agreed to let Lily go with Greta, but not before giving her a stern warning about the dangers of the full moon. He reminded her to be careful, to stay alert, and to never forget that she was a werewolf, with all the power and responsibility that came with it.
On the next morning, Lily walked towards the school building, feeling excited for the day ahead. As she neared the entrance, she spotted her friend Greta standing near the gate. She seemed to be waiting for her. When Lily reached her, Greta greeted her with a smile.
"Hey, Greta! Good to see you," Lily said. "What's up?"
"I was just wondering if you've joined any clubs yet," Greta replied.
Lily nodded. "Actually, I was planning to join the creative writing club. Why do you ask?"
Greta grinned. "Well, I thought you might like to try something new. You know, something exciting and challenging, like karate?"
Lily raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Karate? Really? I never thought of that. How many people are in the club?"
Greta shrugged. "About twenty. Not yet full. It's a great way to stay fit and learn some self-defense skills."
Lily considered for a moment, then smiled. "You know what? I think I will join the karate club. It sounds like a lot of fun."
Greta beamed. "That's great! We can practice together and help each other improve."
As they entered the school, Greta leaned in and whispered to Lily, “Can you make it tonight? I will introduce you to the group.”
“Yes. My Dad’s a little worried, though. They’re quite tight these days after finding out my symptoms.”
“The more you need to come with us tonight. I will help you.” Greta took her phone to check the time and was horrified to see she had little time left for her class. “I really have to go now, my class starts in five minutes. Let's meet at the cafeteria for lunch," she said before darting off.
Lily continued on her way, her mind still consumed with thoughts of Greta and her personal life. As she walked, she noticed a young man walking towards her, and as he got closer, she realized it was Greta's younger brother, Jake. His eyes narrowed as he looked at her, and she felt a sudden unease.
"Stay away from my sister," he warned, his voice low and menacing.
Lily was taken aback. "What do you mean? Greta and I are just friends," she protested.
But Jake wasn't convinced. "I know you are special to her. I can sense it. But I don't want you near our group," he said firmly, before turning on his heel and walking away.
Lily watched him go, her heart racing. She had no idea what Jake was talking about, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something dangerous lurking beneath the surface of Greta's pack.
As the moon rose higher in the sky, Greta and her pack were already in full swing, running, jumping and practicing their combat moves. They were focused, their eyes glowing with the excitement of the upcoming festival. Greta looked over her shoulder and saw Lily and her father approaching.
"Hey, Lily! Good to see you," Greta said as she slowed down to a stop, the other pack members following her lead. "I hope you're ready for some serious training."
Lily's eyes widened as she took in the sight of the pack. "Wow," she breathed. "This is amazing. I can't wait to learn from you all."
Greta grinned. "Well, we're happy to have you. Your dad can stay and watch, or he can join in if he wants."
Lily's father stepped forward, his eyes twinkling. "I'll join in if you don't mind. It's been a while since I've had a good run with a pack."
Greta nodded. "Great. We can always use another strong member. Now, let's get started. Lily, I'll show you some basic moves to start with, and then we'll work on your transformation."
For the next few hours, Greta and her pack put Lily and her father through their paces. They ran, jumped, and fought, their bodies moving with an almost supernatural grace and speed. Lily watched in awe as Greta shifted effortlessly between her human and wolf forms, her fur shining in the moonlight.
As the night wore on, Lily felt her own transformation growing closer. She could feel the power building inside her, the urge to let go and unleash her wild side. But she held back, knowing that she needed to control it, to master it. Sensing her, both Greta and George rush to her sides. They were coaching her .
“Lily, remember you are in control. Concentrate hard. Do not let it rule you. Take control.”
Lily closed her eyes. Greta and George stepped aside and faced Lily in full alert. Lily was ready and she transformed perfectly. She didn’t turn wild. She is still conscious of herself.
“Lily?” Her father spoke after a moment
Lily looked at George and communicated through her eyes.
Greta was mesmerized. At last, she said "You've done well," she said, her voice tinged with pride. "Lily, you're a natural. With practice, you'll be one of the best in the pack."
Lily transformed back to her natural form. She smiled, her heart swelling with pride. "Thank you, Greta. I couldn't have done it without your help and Dad."
Greta smiled back. "That's what we're here for. To help each other become the best we can be."
As the training progressed on the following nights, Greta noticed that Jake, her younger brother was acting particularly aggressive towards Lily. He snarled whenever she approached him, and went out of his way to make things difficult for her during the training exercises. Greta knew that Jake was a strong and arrogant werewolf and his attitude towards Lily looks like he is threatened by Lily's potential to become a powerful member of the pack.
"Jake," Greta said firmly, approaching him as the rest of the pack dispersed. "What's going on with you? You know that Lily is here to learn from us, not to threaten you."
“When I reach the level of Alpha, I will be much stronger and then I will replace you. Can’t you see my dear sister? I don’t really see where she fits in. She’s such a cumbersome!”“Jake, little brother, I know. I observed, okay. That’s just for now. Lily has such power that will make our pack stronger.”“What do you imply? Is she going to replace us?”“No! That’s not what I mean. With her in our pack, it will make the difference between us and our rival packs. Hey, Jake, I had an idea. Why don’t you change tactics? Instead of disliking her, why won’t you look to her as a male. She’s perfect to be a mate.”“That is ridiculous Greta! Me, partnering to a weakling?” he chuckled.As time went on, Jake's resentment towards Lily festered and grew, until it consumed him entirely. He couldn't understand why Greta had welcomed her into the pack - after all, she was weak, slow, and nothing more than a burden on their group."Why is she even here?" Jake grumbled to his friend, Kyle. "She's dragg
Sixteen years later…Lily stood before the towering building, her heart pounding with excitement and nerves. The skyscraper was a marvel of modern architecture, with gleaming glass and steel rising into the sky. As she took in the impressive sight, the wind whipped her waist-length black hair around her face. She felt the fabric of her clothes rippled waves that trickled her skin.Lily's heart raced as she approached the imposing entrance of Moore Enterprises, double-checking the address on her phone to ensure she had the right place. As she approached the reception desk, Lily announced her appointment and waited for further instructions. A friendly woman greeted her and confirmed that she was expected. Lily was then directed towards the elevator bank, where she waited nervously for the car to arrive.As soon as the doors opened, a harried-looking man rushed out, nearly colliding with Lily as she stepped inside. She recognized him as one of the executives she had seen in the company'
As Blake sat at his desk, his mind raced with thoughts of how to deal with the traitor in his pack. His pen furiously scratched across the paper as he jotted down ideas for potential punishments, his frustration evident in the tight grip on the writing instrument. Beyond the glass wall of his office, the city bustled with activity, but Blake was lost in thought, completely consumed by the task at hand.As the late afternoon light filtered through the blinds, a gnawing feeling tugged at the back of Blake's mind. Something about his new secretary seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He knew through his senses that she was a werewolf, a seasoned one at that, who was unafraid to venture among humans in their everyday lives, and only the secret community of werewolves in Nashville had that kind of lifestyle. Blake wondered which pack she belonged to.Blake's professional demeanor and outward appearance may have fooled most humans, but as a werewolf in Nashville, he
Blake leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. A smile was on his face. If Lily was only acting, her acting was so perfect to be true. He grabbed the phone on his desk and dialed Mr. Forest’s office. “I need to see the personal info of my new secretary. Send it encrypted to my personal email ASAP.”His reputation as a ruthless and aggressive pack leader was well-known among the werewolf society, but he was also known for his sharp intuition. He made a mental note to keep a close eye on Lily and see if there was anything to his suspicions.The clock on his desk ticked away as he continued to ponder. He knew he couldn't let his guard down, not even for a second. In the werewolf society, trust was hard to come by, and betrayal was always lurking around the corner.As he sat there, lost in thought, the city outside began to transform into a sea of twinkling lights, signaling the arrival of night. With a sigh, Blake pulled himself out of his thoughts and focused on the tasks at hand. He
The next day, Lily arrived at her desk early, determined to uncover more about Blake's true identity. She scoured through his personal file, hoping to find any clues that might shed light on his mysterious abilities. To her surprise, she discovered that Blake was not only wealthy but also the founder of the Blackwood Fraternity. The name sounded familiar, and after a quick search on social media, she realized that they had a significant online presence. Lily wondered what other secrets this man was hiding and what his true intentions were.As she rocked her brain for possible answer that were not written in his personal file, she suddenly jumped. That’s right! She said audibly and then covered her mouth as she looked around. She felt excited and searched the internet on the art of divination. She felt sure she hit it right this time. Blake was practicing divination!Blake knew he needed to act fast to uncover her true intentions before she caused any harm to his pack or herself. The
Jake saw Blake, recognition dawning on his face. His eyes went back to Lily. He said, “Come with me. It’s not a safe place here,” Jake said taking Lily’s elbow and pulling her towards his car parked near them.Lily tried to free herself from his grip but the more Jake tightened it forcing Lily to take a few steps. “No! I’m not coming with you!” and with all her strength, she shove Jake away.“Hey!” Jake said seeing Blake went out of his car and was approaching them. “This is none of your business man,” he warned Blake.“Can’t you hear her? She told you to leave her alone and she just said she’s not coming with you, why do still insist?” Blake asked pulling Lily away from him.“You’re stepping on other men’s shoes. You’re not supposed to meddle on couples misunderstanding. You leave us alone, or I’ll call the police,” Jake told Blake seriously.Lily stepped away from the two dangerous man. She looked hatefully at Jake. “Do not make me your shield Jake. There was nothing mutual between
“Once the investigator proves my innocence, can I leave the company?” she asked.Blake considered her question thoughtfully. "What do you mean? Are you going to resign?"Lily hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I hope so. I feel like I’m not competent enough to be your secretary, given all the suspicions you have about me.”Blake shook his head. “No, Lily. Even if you’re innocent, leaving the company would only make it look like you had something to hide. You’ll stay here, and I’ll make sure you’re protected. After all, you’re vulnerable on your own among normal humans.”Lily’s heart swelled with gratitude. For the first time in a long time, she felt like someone was on her side.“Thank you, Blake,” she said softly.Blake’s expression softened. “Don’t thank me yet, Lily. I cannot conclude until I heard from the investigators. But I promise you, I’ll do everything in my power to keep you safe. Are we friends now?” he asked.Lily looked at him. Although she had not seen him before
The white sedan, a sleek and inconspicuous vehicle, kept a cautious distance from Blake's car as they traveled down the streets of the Nashville suburb. The man with a sinister agenda, sat intently behind the wheel of the sedan, his eyes fixed on Blake's every move.His mind was consumed with questions, each one racing through his thoughts with an urgency that couldn't be ignored. Why were they together? Where were they going? Could it be that Blake was merely offering Lily a ride home? But seemed incongruous with his notorious reputation for treating employees a ride home. Rumours had it that he routinely discarded secretaries like clockwork at the end of each month. Were they dating? Uh.Initially, he hadn't intended to tail them. He had been patiently waiting for Lily to finish her shift, planning to abduct her. However, his plans took an unexpected turn when he was taken aback by the sight of the two emerging from the building together and climbing into Blake's car.The man raised
