"Tell me everything!!!
Freya exclaimed as she jumped on the bed alarming Viola.
"How did you see him? What happened when you did?"
"Nothing much! But I did feel some kind of tingling all over when I saw him, almost like my body was reacting to his presence."
"Oh that's just your wolf. I think... At least that's what I was told."
"Wow! But believe me that's really fascinating. Very few people can say that they've ever truly felt the mating bind."
Freya said and Viola agreed with her. The whole idea of mates and all was a foreign concept to her.
"I know! When I found out about it I was shocked that something like that existed.
Freya frowned. There was a problem with Viola finding her mate though, he wasn't a Lycan and if her father found out he would definitely disapprove of it. He'd even ask her to quickly reject him to save her from
heartache."So what happened after that? I'm a
Viola's eyes opened like two flashlight beams, they were bright and alert. It was like being shown the woods one tree at a time in some crazy memory game, but it was better than the blackness.She stirred in panic. She could barely remember anything, only bits and fragments.What happened?She thought as she sat up, she was naked. There were bits and pieces of grass and mud stuck to her skin. But that was the least of her worries. Her hands were covered with blood, dirt and mud.The blood alarmed her. She let out a gasp and struggled to stand up.Her mouth felt sticky, the coppery tang of an all familiar taste lingering and her eyes widened as she realised that something bad must have happened.There was blood, blood in her mouth!She thought as she shuddered in panic.She was still in a state of disarray, with the words and thoughts flying through her head chaotically.She looked around the forest again, she didn'
As Keanu walked into the Healers cave to find what happened to Viola. His father, brother and Freya were already there and by the looks on their faces they were just as worried as he was.Keanu pretended to have a look of concern on his face."I heard the news. What happened?"He asked as he glanced at all of their faces.His father was the one who shook his head."I don't know. I could have sworn the chains were strong enough to hold her. They were new."Samuel watched quietly... He was shirtless as always and he had scratches down his bare back. Keanu didn't care enough to ask why he did."I saw her first... Her wolf I mean. She tore through the kill's hind like it was paper. And when Rip tried to get her in control, she dislocated his shoulder."He said as he pointed to Rip who was on the other side of the room, he was still in his Lyca
Her father, Alpha Superior Eli said very little to her, only“Go back to the academy. I will talk to you soon.”Viola clutched her own palm, pressing hard thinking about how confused she was. It was terrifying to believe that she had done that. She didn’t understand her powers and didn’t feel like the people around her too.Why didn’t the chains hold her if they said it would?What had gone wrong?Her father, she thought of him and how he failed to console her. She needed an explanation, and not a vague order, but he didn't give anymore than that. Lost in thought, Viola failed to notice Cora who was in the hallway.Cora, always so sharp immediately spotted Viola.“Hey Viola!” She said warmly, walking towards Viola.Viola finally breaks contact with all her fears, she looks up and is relieved to be seeing a friendly, smiling face.“Cora.&r
Viola’s dux was Lillian, a fifth-year student of Avalon Academy. She didn’t seem to have much personality and seemed to have mastered the act of sneaking up on people. Viola had to guess it was due to her invisible aura, Lilian was so stealthy she could have been standing next to Viola for seconds and Viola wouldn't know. Lillian also barely spoke, and every time she spoke it was only because it was necessary. She had brown short hair that covered her eyes and dark brown skin. She was tall and lanky, way taller than Viola ever imagined a girl would be. But her stature wasn't so frightening since she looked frail all the time.“Viola. You are not concentrating hard enough.” She said gently.It was Viola’s first training session with her d
Each pack had their pack house, a communal property in which all members of a pack were welcomed. The pack houses varied in design, beauty and size. In the earlier eras, it was more about functionality of the pack houses with focus on pragmaticism. It was typical to have a large, round bunch of rocks as some pack houses but the Ortus Solis pack house was truly an architectural masterpiece.The pack house was the biggest one, but it did not compromise on style. The house had over 150 rooms, each uniquely designed. The floors made of marbles, and thanks to Rosalina who managed the house neatly. Pack members could see reflections of themselves looking at the floor.In the Alpha room, Alpha superior Eli sat. He was thinking about the incoming Alpha Convention. Alpha Superior Eli was a handsome man, his skin showed little wear and tear but beneath it all. He was almost as handsome as he was in his younger days. Even with his slowed aging due to his strong
The past few days had been quite blissful for Viola. And only one person was responsible – Noah. Noah and Viola had been spending their free time every day with each other. Between them, things had been great. Noah looked forward to even more time between them, without classes, without Lillian, the dux and without any Alpha talk. They both deserved the peace he thought to himself as he researched the destination that would be most suitable. The place would have to be peaceful above all with as little intervention from their routine lives. Luckily for him, he knew a pair of mates, Everett and Cora. Being the third wheel in their friendship had come with its benefits after all. Even though he had been frustrated by it back then. He knew the perfect spot. It was a couple’s resort in Avalon that Cora gushed about for weeks after they went. And as much as Everett tried to play it down as a causal outing, Everett was really glad he made her so happy. The retreat was called Magarita, fo
Viola had started to get Avalon. She no longer got confused about where her classes were or got lost in them. She had figured out her own little routine and it worked for her. She woke up at 5:30 am to have some time off, to take a run or a walk or to shift to her werewolf form. She did it to introspect alone and enjoy the cool breeze. It was really vital to her rapid adjustment and it helped her get more in tune with her wolf. At 6:30am she would return to her room and start to prepare for classes. She would go through her classes and what they would learn. It had helped a lot because the classes no longer seemed to be taught in some hidden ancient language, she started to understand her classes better. At 7:30am Noah would knock on her door and they would go get breakfast at the hall together. Sometimes, they saw Cora and Everett. After that, she attended her classes and practised with her dux, Lillian. The work part of her day usually ended when she was done with Lillian and ev
Viola’s father had asked her to come to his private training arena. He wanted to examine her himself, see what they had taught her in school. And most importantly, he wanted to know how powerful she was.If she was strong enough,fast enough to even stand a chance in the Alpha trials.This idea of examining her made Viola nervous all through the night. She even had a nightmare which made her even more nervous. She didn't know what to expect but she knew it would be difficult.The morning could not come soon enough as the anticipation of the examination was actually more terrifying than the examination."Thank goodness. It’s time to get it over with." Viola found consolation in the fact that the day had broken, Lillian still complained on some of her forms."You'll do good. You're strong and fast. Don't worry about it."Lilian patted her back as she esc
