“Alpha’s really angry.” Lucas pointed out as we each took a seat inside the car, him in the driver’s seat and I in the passenger’s. “He just wanted some privacy. It’s between them both so it’s not our business.”“You think?” I rolled my eyes, my arms folding over my chest. After Kasan made us leave, we walked around outside for a while then Lucas brought me back all the way to the car so we could rest up a bit. I really wanted to stay but he was determined to give them privacy and I honestly didn’t want to fight with him over something like being too inquisitive. And annoyingly, I didn’t even get to grab my gun!Anyway, it hasn’t been that long since we left there, but I’m feeling quite anxious. Kasan doesn’t have any chill, I doubt he’d ask Kenley any questions before ripping him to shreds and plus, the dark look in his eyes definitely meant death. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him that angry.But they’re family, he’d go easy on him, won’t he?I for one, don’t believe for a second tha
Lucas sped up the car as a distorted outline of a blazing mansion up ahead entered my vision. As we got closer and the car pulled to a stop just in front of it, new scents wafted into my nostrils.Wolfsbane…. There’s wolfsbane and also…. Blood!Panic came along with a sharp throbbing in my head, sweat rolling down my forehead. I was quick to tell myself to think pessimistic, but I couldn’t help the dreadful thoughts that ran through my mind.If this was the actual place my parents were being kept as Lucas said, which it more than likely is, what the hell happened here?! And where the fuck is mom and dad?!With my eyes trained on the raging flames scorching the building, I forced my trembling fingers to reach for the car door. I was more than ready to jump into the fire if I had to. But the problem is, how on earth would I know for sure if they’re inside? H-How will I---“…ra….Clara!”Lucas’s voice had my fingers halting on the handle. Slowly, I turned my head to look at him, and even
“Let’s go.” I ushered Mom and Dad to the car while following behind Lucas who had become extremely silent with a miserable expression casted over his face. I glared at him. Why is he the one looking like that when I’m the one who’s traumatized?The more I look at him, the more I get the feeling he knows exactly what kind of effect he has on me and is wickedly using it to his advantage. This isn’t the first time he’s look at me as deadly as he did back there and it probably wouldn’t even be the last. As soon as my senses detects the side of him that I don’t want to see, every defense I’ve built all these years just jumps inside a box, meanwhile, my body begins to bend to his will all on its own. Right now, that’s exactly what’s happening and I hate it, I despise it.Lucas opened the door for me and stepped to the side gesturing for me to get in. I didn’t object and simply climbed in. When he went to close the door, I stretched out my palm expectantly. I didn’t look him in the eye, bu
Words replayed in my head like a broken record.“…It was near midnight when I found two crying kids left on my doorstep…”“…she made you into a completely different person…”“…she’s more dangerous than werewolves themselves!”“…her blood turned her brother into a monster…”In the span of just a few minutes, there had been several revelations, but nothing devastated me more than the truth behind Lucas’s shift.That night… both mom and dad had been gone for days so Lucas and I were left alone at home. In the middle of most nights, we’d stay up messing with leftover food and blending them together with all sorts of chopped pretty flowers we picked outside. We were doing our own little experiment in the kitchen, but Lucas’ eyes went wide with terror the moment the edge of the knife missed the target and slammed into my finger.“What? You’re scared of a little bit of blood? I’m a gangster, I can’t even feel pain cuz of a measly cut!”I had laughed at him pretty hard but back then, Lucas ne
When I shifted awake, my eyes fluttered open to welcome the blinking of the dangling lightbulb attached to a crumbling concrete ceiling. When the bulb switched off, the room was in complete darkness and when it switched back on, the difference was made minor with only a dull flicker of light dispersing through the dark room. It was instinctual to immediately be on-guard after having woken up to somewhere eerily unfamiliar, so I was quick to jolt upwards, and with my senses on high alert, my gaze swept over my surrounding. The walls were made of concrete but looked extremely old with all the cracks spiraling everywhere. And there were no windows in sight, so the place was hot and suffocating as hell. The only possible escape was through the metal door that stood tall before me, but it seemed almost impossible to break down myself. With that said, I clearly understand why they didn’t bound my hands nor chain me to the wall. Thankfully, it seemed they left me untouched except for the
Nate…That fucker was unexpected, but I’m glad that I can proudly say we never got close enough for this to faze me much.However, I’m not sure how Kasan will take this news. Him, the twins and Kenley were of the few that he seemed to trust. At the moment, he thinks Kenley is a traitor… now this guy too. And as for the companion… “How’s it going, sister-in-law?” A grin plastered on Lora's lips. Smugly, she tilted her head to side as she lifted her arm to settle her elbow on Nate’s shoulder. “It was quite difficult for me when you saw my tattoo that day, luckily, I shot my shoulder instead of anywhere else.” She laughed, cocking the gun she had been carrying.With her head leaned to one side, I could clearly see the tattoo she spoke of, as if she deliberately wanted me to. It was a snake's head peeking out at the crook of her neck and the rest covered by the bandages wrapped over her shoulder. So, it was not a ‘him’? ‘She’ was the nightwalker bitch all along? But I…I could’ve swo
Fingers grabbed me quicker than I could blink, digging into my jaws as his sharp nails pricked through the skin.“Shut the fuck up and let me finish.” With each word enveloped in fury, the veins on his forehead rose as his eyes narrowed on my figure. He took steps forward and the pressure of his hand forced me back until I slammed into the hard wall. I groaned. “Now then, as I was saying.” He shoved me to the side, the sheer force sending me to the floor. I cradled my throbbing elbow close to my chest and glared up at him. My veins were pumping with seethe, but I knew better than to do anything. I’m certain they’ll keep me alive for my blood, but this crazy mother fucker looks like someone who would strangle me to death without even knowing that he's strangling me to death! “That hurts, you fuck!” His gaze multiplied in intensity, flashing golden as they dug into my flesh like hot metal. I could hear his command without him having open his mouth:‘Shut the fuck up’ I pursed my lip
Blood…The pungent scent bombarded me without mercy, I smelled it even before I opened my eyes. The second thing I noticed was that the throbbing pain I felt before I passed out was still there but barely, it wasn’t drastic at all. And the third was the shadowy figure looming over me. My body was laid across their lap with one of their arms wrapped around my shoulder tightly as they kept me secured in their embrace. Who is it? Who is this person? “What…d..did…” I cleared my throat and gulped slowly, trying in vain to get rid of the dryness as well as the unmistakable metallic taste on my tongue. “What…did y-you do….t-to my f-family?”My blood…I’m certain they took it, tons of it. Mom…dad…they’ve already used it on them, haven’t they? The next time we meet, will they have any humanity left? Will they curse me to the pit of hell just as how Lucas did? Or will they pretend its fine, despite knowing that I am nothing but a monster, despite hating me deep deep down?Shit. I’m useless.
