My eyes itched badly as tears freely dropped from my eyes. The last time I cried like this was twenty one years ago, when my pack was attacked by another Pack. But this time, my pain was probably worse. It was eating me inside out, burning my insides without mercy, my heart thumped in pain with each second that came it felt like I was losing it. At the same time, I couldn’t take my eyes off Helene’s bed. I inhaled deeply and I felt anger and regret strike hard in me. This place used to be Helene’s room. The woman I loved, the woman that I had deeply offended all to protect my secret. My legs moved on impulse towards her bed. I sat beside it and my left hand gently swayed across the bed sheets. The memories we had together began to flood my mind and as much as I tried to stop it, our last encounter together vividly played before me. “Helene!!” I yelled my lungs out as I dashed to the scene only to find my Levi’s hand stuck in my wife’s chest. The look of her life fading out before me
There was only one way to save my mate from his monstrous Pack. And that was returning to Red Moon Pack, my Pack. Although we were nothing compared to Silver Clawers, it was only worth the shot.I exhaled deeply as I arrived in front of the Pack House twin doors. It's been two days since I left home and no doubt my father was going to be worried sick. I inhaled deeply before pushing the twin doors open and there he was seated on one of the white couches with a worried countenance. The moment his eyes fell on me,"Diana!" He yelled, he hugged me immediately as he approached me with his Werewolf speed. I almost felt the last of the air in my lungs leave my body on impact."What happened to you? I called your number several times but you wouldn't pick up. Ana tried to assure me but I knew something was up! Tell me everything!" He chirped while his embrace grew tighter.I simply closed my eyes with a tiny smile gracing my lips. Staying in his warm embrace was one of the things I needed ri
The winds were surprisingly stormy today despite the morning starting on a gentle note. The trees danced side by side in a heavy manner as if they were going to collapse on each other anytime soon. I pushed through the branches, covering my face with my left arm while my other hand clenched to my backpack tightly. The more I pressed further, the more the winds pushed me back. It was like the winds didn't want me to move anywhere but that wasn't possible. Staying in this place would only expose me to all sorts of dangers. If there was one thing I had learned, journeying to the Forbidden lands has certainly been dangerous and a part of me was beginning to lose hope I would be able to achieve this journey.I grunted as the winds pressured me further. My legs were buried in the sands that I could barely lift them up. I raised my left arm a bit just to see if there was any shelter around. I gasped as I noticed a small building meters before me. It was certainly hazy but I was certain my ey
"Could you please drive faster." I lamented to the chauffeur from my back seat."Yes ma'am." He replied courteously as he increased his pace."Diana," my father called my name with a gentle smile. "Be patient, we'll soon get to Silver Clawers anyways."I exhaled deeply and shot him a smile that didn't live to see the next second. How was I supposed to be calm when my mate was busy facing torture with every second that came."I understand how you feel but I assure you that Aaron will be released today." He asserted with so much confidence blooming in his tone. But it wasn't enough to calm the unrest burning in me. He intertwined his right fingers with my left, assuring me once more that everything was going to be fine. I smiled once again, I could have been hopeful but considering how Levi was, I doubted this negotiation was going to go very smoothly. Regardless, I was going to get my mate!And after a while, we finally arrived at the gigantic Pack House. I took deep breaths, trying to
"I would choose Ice cream over Pizza anytime, any day!" Michael chattered like a bird as we pushed through the heavy winds. The moon was already about to dawn and the sound of crickets were already gracing our surroundings as we marched past twigs and trees."I mean why would anyone choose that junk over a well rounded sweet sweet chocolate ice cream..." He continued while my palms curled into a fist. This man managed to ignite an emotion in me ever since we began our journey this afternoon, anger. He had been doing nothing but yapping about stupid things and I wouldn't lie that it was beginning to irritate me to the core."Only a fool would choose that junk, don't you agree? What's your favorite flavor of Ice cream?" He asked."Would you just shut up?!" I raised my voice in anger against him."How can I when you've been quiet all through.""That's because we need to focus! We're going to the Forbidden Lands, surely there will be dangers ahead." I retorted."Well so far so good, there
"Michael!" I yelled but only the birds around tweeted in response. "Michael!" I called again, looking around the blood trails on the leafy grounds. Something terrible must have happened to him. Perhaps he was attacked by a mysterious animal or something."Michael!" I yelled again, this time my heart was already thumping loud. As much as I hated to admit it, I was worried about him. I waited for several minutes hoping he would answer but he didn't. I stared at the tent and back at the forest. I heaved a deep sigh whilst concluding I was going to search for him. I couldn't just leave, not after these blood trails."Michael!" I called one last time and suddenly the bushes by my side twitched. I heard the sound of twigs crushing and footsteps getting louder with each second. I took a defensive stance even though my body was trembling in fear. I suddenly lost my cool and the next thing that my brain told me to do was run. Whatever was behind those bushes probably hurt Michael and consideri
"You're a failure!""A waste!""A pathetic son!""You failed your Pack, you failed me!""You're weak and I hate you for that!""I curse the day I knew you as my son!"My eyes opened only to see my mother a few meters before me spitting those heart wrenching words."Mom?" I toned in confusion. The entire room was dark but I could see her clearly. She was in pain, her eyes had swollen from so much tears, her gaze on me completely defined resentment."You don't deserve to call me that!" She warned and tears began to itch my eyes."I thought you were dead." I tried to approach her but she retreated further into the darkness."Death should have taken you instead." She spat back."Don't say that. Please don't." I mumbled in a shaky voice."If you hadn't failed me, If you weren't so weak, I would still be alive today."Tears trickled across my cheek as those words phased through my ears. "You're right. I failed you. I'm so sorry mom. I wish I could have done better. I wish I was there to pro
"Aaron Harrington, I've been waiting for you."My brows arched upwards as I stared dumbfounded at the skeleton."H-how-- how do you know my name?" I dared to ask."I've known you ever since you were born. Son of Lycan Barron." His voice came out in a deep baritone that only managed to ground fear in my heart."No-- no, I must be seeing things. I must be!" I slapped my cheeks repeatedly hoping I would break free from this terrible illusion but nothing happened."You'll only be hurting yourself more. You know it yourself, ever since you came into my land you've felt my presence." He said and I stopped with my eyes twitching at it."Get out of my head." I gritted. The Skeleton laughed. "Get out!" I yelled and it growled. My breaths ceased immediately, somehow I knew if I said something wrong again, I was going to get punished. Yet my brain wouldn't stop racking up so many questions."Who are you?" My curiosity peaked so much that my lips moved on their own. "How do you know me?"The Skel
