Se connecterCrystal’s POV I was taken aback. For a few seconds I was speechless. I opened my mouth expecting no sound to come out but I was wrong. "Was?" I was offended and it clearly showed. Tristan chuckled. "What's so funny?" I whined. "Why did you change your mind?" After the year Tristan and
I learnt as much as I could about leading the pack. I still didn't know how Tristan did it. I had barely just graduated high school and all these people looked at me waiting for guidance and protection. It was daunting and nerve racking but I tried my best. The AAP training helped too. I was g
Crystal’s POV (One year later) I learnt to speak in silence. At least around Tristan. When he got too quiet, I knew it was time to get him to a place of isolation where he could sit in his grief without the whole world watching him. I could tell the pack wasn't the same and though our loss
Roman still hadn't returned and I could tell Crystal was worried even though she didn't voice it out. Probably worried about what I might think. But I guess seeing as to how Roman had helped us both escape, maybe I could try to overlook my intense dislike for the guy. Meggy had gotten up sayin
Tristan’s POV When I woke up I was only partly aware of where I was. It was dark but I could still tell I was in the woods. The leaves on the trees rustled with the cool air. They blocked the sky but through the spaces I could see a scattering of stars. When I looked forward I saw a girl wit
Crystal’s POV Never in my life did I ever think I would hear Joshua Melrose say those words. I knew this was technically a dream but it couldn't have prepared me for how dazed I still felt. Mikey's mind space had seemed so scattered and disorganised. But just like Tristan's, it had been in a r
Tristan’s POV My mother always told me that whenever I felt lost, the best compass in the world was my heart. It was just some sappy way of telling me that when I didn't know which direction to go, I should always trust my gut. I scoffed out a laugh as I looked around the cave/cell I was in. Gue
She turned away without another word leaving me feeling more exposed than I had before. The nightmare this time was more gruesome than before. This time I saw Ornyx and he was in a dark room with Tristan. He morphed into a huge scary beast and devoured him right before my eyes. I shot up in a col
But I cared what she did. She had accepted me from the beginning. Halfling and all. She had vouched and rooted for me. It's only now that I realised I had been very wrong in not giving her of all people an explanation. "I didn't realise how much I did love Tristan. I don't know, maybe it was becau
I couldn't hide my shock upon seeing her. I quickly scrambled to my feet. I knew that Bridget had ordered her transfer back to the manor for safety reasons but I guess I hadn't expected her to seek me out. I didn't know where I stood with Lady Melrose since the night of the ball when it was revea
