PearlI couldn't believe it when Dr Jacobs said I would spend three more days in the infirmary. "I thought you said I would be discharged today!" I fired."Yes but no. Sorry ma'am, you need some rest," he scoffed and walked away in his usual casual manner.The next three days were hellish. I almost died of boredom. Jayden, Pete and Billy dropped in to check on me at intervals, but neither Evelyn nor Hardin showed up.One question kept burning in my heart, who the hell attacked me in the form of a wolf? I know everyone in the school hates me and most especially those in the Faculty of the big cats, but despite the group's hostility towards me, the only person who could do that is Evelyn.Well, that is only an assertion, I will wait till I find out myself. I missed Hardin and I wanted to see him. I asked his friends severally to tell him to come but he never did.Days rolled by and after what seemed like eternity, it was time for me to leave the infirmary.That morning, I was over exci
Zora The cold stares I shared with Evelyn was a show. I had met Evelyn earlier and we had decided to put on a show. We had to ensure that Pearl did not notice that we were working together. Well, she is quite gullible and I knew our show would work. Leaving Evelyn behind, I smirked as I made my way to Zenden's office.Few days ago, after I had taken the potion that Zenden gave me, I was locked up in an illusionary woods the whole day.When I came around, I was mad at Zenden. Well, she only does what she wants. She ignored my outburst and proceeded with what she wanted me to know. She informed me that Pearl saved my head and she did not reveal that I was the one who attacked her in Denim woods.That fool, she should have spilled the beans and got rid of me. I hated being indebted to anyone."Her kindness means nothing to me. I will hunt her down and get back my torrent of energy!" I yelled and Zenden laughed derisively."You can't get her. You are no match for her," Zenden said in
PearlI heard a noise from a distance, it was coming from the hall of the big cats, but as I got closer, the noise reduced and I wondered what was happening."Welcome to this grand event. It's always our pleasure to celebrate with the big cats when they find their mates. We see it as the kindness of the moon goddess towards them," Mrs Hopkins' voice boomed through the air and I hastened as I covered the last step.The hall was filled up with students. Members of the faculty of big cats were seated in the front rows. Others were students from other facilities who came to witness the event."To maintain order and a decent relationship among students, we usually celebrate this in grand style. Most often we do invite the parents of the students who are involved but due to certain reasons, Billy and Emma's parents could not show up. We therefore decided to throw a small party for them. This will in effect, make every other admirer to be aware that these two are taken," The students murmure
PearlHardin saw Evelyn before she got to him. Immediately, he broke off from the blonde and shielded her from Evelyn."Evelyn! Stop this madness. There is nothing between us. Stop hitting on me! I have no feelings for you!" He yelled, making Evelyn stop.His voice was drowned by the noise in the hall but few students that were close heard him. They shot Evelyn a demeaning look and continued with their businesses.Evelyn remained rooted to a spot, staring at Hardin with an open mouth. "Come here baby," Hardin said hoarsely and turned to the red-haired girl. He lifted her chin up, and sneaked a peek at Evelyn. Slowly, he wrapped his arm around the girl's waist, kissing her hard. Evelyn's eyes shone wide and her knuckles were white.I remained transfixed in my spot, feeling so bad for Evelyn.This could be me. Yes, there was nothing between Hardin and me as well. Why did I bump into the stage? I realized my foolishness and staggered backwards.Slowly, I turned around to leave, but I h
PearlWe took different turns and we were out in the open."Hopkins Citadel is essentially large. I haven't seen this side before," I whispered."Really? Well it's a given, you have no friend who could take you sightseeing. I am the only friend you have but you ditched me, calling me a monster," Hardin pouted."I am sorry.""Nah. You are right. To a normin like you, a werewolf is probably a monster too," he said casually."Well… Yes!""You see? I caught you…" He tickled me and I giggled, hitting him softly."Common, where are we going?" I whispered as he pecked my cheeks."This big monster is gonna eat you up," he said playfully and I hit him hard.Again our lips met and he kissed me lightly before moving forward.He didn't say much until we were in front of an enclosed field. I fell behind as he pulled me through the tiny entrance.The area was filled with well-trimmed carpet grass just like Pentium Field. I rared my head up looking at him questioningly."What is this place?"He smir
PrologueHundred years agoEvanora stood over Mount Prizm. Her red cloak covered her frame from head to toe. Her legs were widely thrown apart and under her feet were faint lines in different shades of red. Whilst her cloak fluttered noisily in the boisterous wind, she stood rigid with her arms open as wide as possible.Her hands were slightly curved and they borne two crystalline almond shaped stones. A single stone nested in each hand. The stones looked identical.Right before each of Evanora's outstretched arms was a twirl of whirlwinds. They blew so hard but none of the stones was shaken.Evanora's eyes were like pools of red inferno. Her mouth moved rhythmically as she chanted repeatedly.Whatever she was saying seemed to control the whirlwinds as they danced to her rhythm."It is I, Evanora! This day, all inhabitants of the earth are doomed as I unleash terror into the earth. It's the time for Cleansing! Evil! Be gone from our lands!" She yelled with a great cry and the mount
Hardin I am Hardin, the only son of the Great Alpha King, King Aragon. I am a student at Hopkins Citadel. To avoid attention and favoritism, my identity was hidden. Yes, that was what my father claimed but I have always thought there was more to it. Hopinks Citadel is an unusual school in the woods. The school is sealed away from the outside world by spells. Students and staff of the school are supernatural beings. At the Citadel, humans are called 'normins' and they are treated as outcasts. It was the beginning of a new term and it's Friday. We just rounded off the last class for the day. It was a Mathematics class and the topic was 'Bearings'. I sucked at it and I knew it. All I did during the class was to envisage the sporting activities that would take place after the class. Only Fridays are available for sporting activities. Saturdays and Sundays are all fixed up. I think I love track events because students from The Faculty of Big Cats always won. The Faculty of Big Cats
Pearl It was my first year in senior high school. Summer break had just ended and I was glad that I would be going back to school. The few weeks I had spent back home seemed like decades. My stepmother and my step-siblings made my life a living hell. I did all the chores while they dined and lazed around. There was not much difference back at school either. My step-siblings and I attended the same school. They are in junior high school but they made sure they bullied me at every slightest opportunity. I was the eldest but my mother died during childbirth. It was rumored that my birth was ominous. My father hated me, he believed that I brought bad omen and my birth killed his wife. The assertions that surrounded my birth made it difficult for my father to get a new wife as prospective wives did not want to have anything to do with me. I grew up without motherly affection. When I turned six years old, my father finally remarried. His new wife became my stepmother and the mother of
