VladimirChristmas and New Year passed in a blur while I was busy taking care of Winter and continue my training. It was now the middle of January.The biggest surprise was when I realized that Winter is actually a she-wolf. I, Rose, and Mark had a good laugh about it. Winter is doing so much better, the cast is off, and she can walk almost normally. She has grown up a lot, and she now follows me everywhere.I also have gotten closer to Elena, and I am more comfortable when I talk to her.“I can’t believe it's been three months since you came to the pack,” Elena says to me one afternoon while we sat in the park. “You made so much progress since then.”I could tell she felt proud of me and a warm feeling spread throw my body.“I still have much to learn,” I tell her.“Can I ask a more personal question?” Ele
ElenaEver since my fight with Mark two days ago, I have been in a foul mood. How dare he pronounce the name of that blood-sucking monster between the walls of my home? I tried to take all my fury on the training grounds but, by now, everyone had learned to avoid me when I was like this.Fuck Mark! No! Fuck that bitch! I have never argued with Mark like this before, and we have been throw so much tougher, and all it takes is a two-faced bitch to make us fight. Uhh! He thinks with his fucking cock instead of his brain.I need to calm the fuck down, or else I might snap at someone.I decided to take a walk around the park and breathe a little fresh air.VladimirI am in the park, relaxing after a tough session of training, when I scent vanilla. Ana?“Vladimir!” I hear the voice of Ana, and she runs into my arms.I hug her, a
VladimirAfter I clean myself, I go to talk with Ana and her parents.“My dear boy! Look how handsome you are!” Mrs. Radu tells me.“Thank you, mama Radu!” I say.I see her stopping in her tracks, and I look at her. I hope I didn’t say anything wrong.“You called me mama!” she says and hugs me. I return the hug.“You always treated me like a son,” I say to her. “Both you and Mr. Radu treated me like family. I will never forget what you did for me.”She looks at me, whipping away a tear. “You are like a son for me,” she says.“I feel the same,” Mr. Radu says.Ana whispers in my ear, “You already know how I feel about you.”I have to have a serious talk with Ana about this.We spend time talking about how they are. Ana’s parents tell me
Four months laterVladimirAs the cold winter days passed, making way for the spring days, and the snow slowly melted away, flowers blooming everywhere, I felt as miserable as when I was nine, and my life changed forever.From the day Elena drank my blood, she kept avoiding me. She made sure she was never alone with me, and she always ignored me. I wanted to talk to her, but her silence is driving me crazy. So I put everything I have into my training.But for some reason, I am never at the level of the other first-year cadets. And I work twice as hard as them.I stopped having private tutoring classes and spent my afternoons in the forest, training most of the time with Winter. In the silence of the forest, the only ones that made noise are Winter and me.While I trained, I kept thinking about the day that Elena bit me, thinking that maybe I did somethin
MarkI am walking with Vladimir towards the entrance of the cafeteria when I see Laura slapping Rose across the face hard. I stop walking. I am shocked. Laura would never hurt a fly. So why did she do that to Rose?Elena approaches Rose and Laura and says something to Laura, but I am too shocked to hear what they say.“Laura!” finally escapes my lips and go them as fast as I can.Vladimir is already there, making sure Rose is ok. Seeing her so distressed upsets me.“Why did you that, Laura?” I ask her and see how she goes pale.“I didn't want to,” she says, “I don’t know what came over me.”Tears start to flow for her eyes. Fuck! I am hopeless before her tears.“Don’t cry, Laura! I am not upset with you!” I say and hug her.“‘The fuck, man?” Vladimir asks. &ldqu
May 20thVladimir“Why do you cry, princess?” asked the little boy while he sat next to her, on the tree log, putting a hand around her shoulders.“It's my birthday today,” the little girl said while tears kept falling down her pink cheeks.“Then why are you crying? You should celebrate. My mom says birthdays are special days.”“Because he ruined my birthday,” the girl said while sobs escaped her little pink lips. “He even broke my new doll. Now I have no gifts. I hate him! He always breaks my things!”“Then I will give you a gift,” the boy said.“What kind of a gift?” she asked excitedly.“A gift that only a knight can give to his princess.”And the boy kissed his princess, just like he saw his mom and dad do it. It was his first kiss. He w
ElenaI follow the scent of peaches that Vladimir leaves behind in the forest. It doesn't take me long to track him down and find him.He sits on a large rock in front of the lake, hunched over, his elbows resting on his thighs, his back at me. I assume he is watching the lake.I stay there, watching him for a few moments. I don't even know what to say to him.“Have you come to enjoy my failure?” he suddenly speaks, taking me by surprise.I walk up to him.“Can I sit next to you?” I ask.He shrugs and moves a little. I sit next to him, watching the lake. For a long while, no one speaks.I am the first to break the silence.“What happened?” I ask.“I don’t want to talk about it.”I can tell he is upset, but I insist.“You were doing great up until the moment you had to shift. Y
ElenaWe stay in the forest a bit longer, talking. When we walked slowly back to the Pack House, and he takes my hand into his. I like the feeling of his big hand wrapped around my small. I feel my hand tiny compared to his big hand.When we are in front of the Pack House, he lifts the hand that I have in his hand and plants a soft kiss on top of it, and looks at me with those green eyes of his.“I will think of the kiss we shared all night long,” he tells me.“Me too,” I confess.Vladimir waits until I got in before leaving. He makes my heart… race. I haven't felt like this in a long time. I feel…happy. Damn, I am in love. I don’t even know when I have fallen for him.I go inside my office and close the door. I take out my agenda and look for a phone number. I dial it and wait for the Elder to pick it up. Finally, after
