“ I haven’t seen your face before “ He started sniffing .


“ You are a wolf! Why do you look so scared ? You haven’t seen someone shift like that before “ He added .


“ Wolf ? Me ? Oh please …No I am not and No ! I haven’t seen that before “ I scoffed , I was hoping he would offer a hand to help me up but he didn’t, he just stood there , staring at me , like I was the one who just shifted from wolf to a hot looking boy .


“ You are new around here , I can tell …Stay out of my path , i hate slugs and you just prove that you are one …A Slug!” He laughed and before I could fire back , he took off .


“ Slug ? My Name is Lilly…” I yelled , i looked around and it was now dark .


“ She is never coming….i have been abandoned…Again”

*****

I was going to spend the night here and first thing tomorrow morning, I am finding my way back home .

“ Dad …Does she even wants me to stay with her ? I mean she couldn’t even pick me up …Monica drove all the way here and she still isn’t here , I just got jumped by a wolf boy, I am about to spend the night in some old abandoned house …Why did you have to die ? How am I going to do life without you ? How am I going to ?”

I was in the middle of my ranting when i heard a knock on the door , I immediately grabbed my heaviest book as weapon , who knows what could be waiting for me when I opened it .

“ Lilly …Are you in there ?”

I heard a voice call out , it was a woman , was she finally here , I dropped the book , immediately stood up , my heart was racing again , I was nervous , this was the first time I will be meeting my mother , I took a deep breath and rushed to open the door .

“ What took you so long ?” I said as I opened the door , I lifted my eyes and our eyes met .

This wasn’t the woman in the picture .

“ Who are you ? “ I asked.

“ Your aunty …matilda, Awww you are so cute , You look so much like Amber , Damn ! That’s a striking resemblance…You are her kid for sure “

The lady kept on Yapping and I just stood there , I was disappointed, so much for meeting my mother for the first time , she couldn’t pick me up from centervile and she couldn’t make it here too , how did dad fall in love with someone so cruel .

“ Hey…” She waved and I smiled at her , she looked nice , she had the energy monica had , there was a smile on her face , she looked bubbly, like she had been anticipating to see me , she rushed inside and grabbed my bags .

“ I am sorry Amber couldn’t come …She’s busy “

“ I can handle my bag , don’t worry “

“ Oh no …I have been anticipating to see you , i cooked , I prepared your room for you , I did a lot …when your mom called me and said she couldn’t pick you up , I took on the task immediately…I have been dying to meet you since I heard I got a niece …”

“ Exciting…And my mom , is she happy to see me ?”

“ Uhhh…Yes …” She replied instantly.

We took all my bags outside and she locked the house .

“ Is this your house ?” I asked as we walked to her truck .

“ It’s Amber’s , She sleeps here whenever she goes for a field trip in the big cities “

“ I see …Amber sounds interesting ”

“ Yeah your mom is quite a character “

“ Hop in ! I am taking you to your new home …Raven Pack ! You are going to love it !”

“ Raven pack ? That’s one creepy name …”

“ It’s just as creepy as the name “

“ Are you serious?”

“ No ! I am just kidding…You’re going to love it there , it’s where I lived my whole life , it’s an amazing town “

“ Town ? Isn’t it like a pack ?”

“ It’s a pack…i mean where a bunch of wolf stays is a pack right ? But we are in a modern world, Are we not? It’s far from what you were told in history class …it’s just like your city except they’re no humans “

“ I am Human “ I cut in .

“ I know …But nobody else knows that “ She smiled at me and I just sighed , she had such a good energy , and was humming as she drove into the city , she was right , it was just like Centervile but different , the aura here was different, the house were built differently, they dressed differently too but it wasn’t what I expected, they were cars, good building, I saw a bunch of teenagers riding a bike , it felt even developed than my own city .

“ They lied to you in history class …” She laughed when she noticed how shocked I was and I giggled .

“ Tell me about my mom…” I asked .

“ Your mom is a lot …She’s a beautiful , educated, perfectionist, she’s what you called the perfect woman and she’s the pack doctor ! That adds to her aura point “

“ She’s a doctor ?” I gasped , my dad left that part out which is surprising because I was obsessed with medicine and he didn’t mention my mom was a doctor .

“ Yup …Like a healer …Do you believe in those kind of stuff ?”

“ Nope !”

“ Well brace yourself for it , they’re a lot of things in Raven high that might look like fantasy to you …”

“ Like what ?”

“ Chat is over ! We are home …” She stopped the car and I looked outside , the house was beautiful, it was a thousand times bigger than my house in centervile and my house was big , I rushed out and I looked around , there were little to no houses around , just gardens , a lake , and another building opposite it .

“ That’s your mom’s clinic…you are going to be in there with her a lot …”

“ Why ?”

“ Welcome !”

A voice came from behind and I turned slowly , it was her.

“ Mom …” I muttered low enough that only I could hear , and she was beautiful even more beautiful than the pictures , blue eyes , brunette hair,she was tall , she had unique facial feature and her sister was right , I looked like her , she was just the prettier version .

“ Hello Lily…” She smiled at me , I just stood there , I didn’t know if I could hug her , that was what my head was saying but I couldn’t, one moment I was admiring her the other moment , my hatred for her came back .

“ Hi …” I responded bluntly.

“ Welcome to Raven Pack …I have been expecting you “

“ I don’t think you have been …Monica drove me from centerrvile and you couldn’t pick me up! That doesn’t sound like you were expecting me at all …”

“ Ouuuu…she has a sharp mouth like yours “ Matilda laughed .

“ Take her bags inside …I want to have a little chat with her “ She said her eyes still locked in mine , matilda moved closer to her and whispered , maybe she felt it was low enough and I couldn’t hear .

“ Why don’t you wait till dawn …it’s late and she’s probably tired “

“ She can say what she wants to say ! I plan on leaving tomorrow anyways !”

“ What ?” The sisters echoed .

“ Yeah …so let’s have the chat , shall we ?”

    I barely heard Monica when I stood up from the chair.My head was too full and yet I understood what this meant , I was probably tricked to return under the guise of buying time to talk to Liam , I didn’t have full answers to my questions and I really didn’t want to misunderstand the situation but nobody seemed to be saying the truth .“ That’s it ..I have had enough !” I said and stood up to take my leave . .“Lily…please wait ”I was already heading for the front door.“Lily, wait.”“ I do not have anything to say to you …” I replied as Monica hurried after me, By the time I reached the front porch, she caught my wrist.“What now?” I asked.“Please don’t do this.”“Do what?”“Shut everyone out.”I laughed bitterly.“Everyone has been shutting me out for years, Monica. I think I’ve earned the right to return the favor.”Her shoulders sagged.“I know you’re hurt.”“…Please …Just let me be .”Monica remained quiet.I shook my head.“I don’t even know who I used to me before all of this

    I sank into my father’s chair and stared at the journal resting in my lapWhen I first opened the journal, I thought I was about to discover something sentimental. I imagined finding notes about his past with Amber , memories of our life together, or maybe some private thoughts he had written when he missed me or even like a hidden letter to me . .I never expected to find proof that my father had spent years trying to understand what I was becoming.That was not what made me feel betrayed.What hurt me so bad that I was still in complete shock, was realizing that while he had been quietly piecing together the mystery of my life, I had been living in complete ignorance.I had no idea about all of those things he said about me , I rarely even noticed but my father had noticed all of it.And he had carried that knowledge alone.I leaned back in his chair and looked up at his portrait hanging on the wall.“Why didn’t you tell me?” I whispered.My voice sounded so small , I was not angry

    The sun had barely risen, and the compound was still unusually quiet. Most of the elders were gathered in the council hall, and the usual bustle around the pack house grounds had not yet begun but Amber was at the pack house this early because she needed to see Liam and speak to him .She parked her car near the eastern wing and stepped out quickly, clutching her leather medical bag against her side, she did not need it but she still took it to look the part and avoid questions on why she was here . .Her eyes were fixed on the council building.Liam had to come out eventually.She had spent the entire drive rehearsing what she was going to say to him.She was prepared to swallow her pride and apologize for Lily or even beg if she had to.She hated the idea, but if it meant keeping her daughter safe, then she would do it.Amber crossed her arms and leaned against her car, trying to remain patient.Minutes passed and Council members began leaving in pairs, talking in low voices as the

    The front gate creaked shut behind Monica’s car, and the sound echoed through the quiet compound, I stood there with my overnight bag hanging from my shoulder, staring at the old house Monica had refused to leave immediately.She stood beside her car with her arms folded, watching me“Are you absolutely sure about this?” she asked.I adjusted the strap of my bag and looked up at the building.The cream paint was more faded than I remembered. Some vines had begun creeping around the fence, and the flowers my father used to care for were now growing wildly on their own.Still, it looked like home.“Yes,” I said quietly. “I’m sure.”“You can come with me, you know. If you walk into that house and decide you’re not ready, my door is open.”I smiled at her.“I know.”She stepped closer and pulled me into a hug, I held onto her tightly.It felt comforting to know that someone was offering me another choice.“I’ll bring you supplies later,” she said as she pulled away. “Food, groceries, an

    Amber kept both hands firmly on the steering wheel, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. The usual confidence she carried around like a second skin seemed to have disappeared. Her shoulders were tense, and her jaw remained clenched, she was replaying the goodbye with Lily over and over again.Maltilda sat in the passenger seat, staring out of the window.She did not say a word.That alone told Amber how upset she was.Normally, Maltilda could never stay silent for too long. She always had something to say, even in the most serious situations. But now she sat with her arms folded across her chest, her face unreadable.Amber exhaled slowly.“I’ll head to the Beta’s house first,” she said, breaking the silence. “I need to apologize on Lily’s behalf and try to smooth things over.”Maltilda turned her head slowly.“What was the real reason you sent her away?”Amber kept her eyes on the road.“What do you mean?”Maltilda gave her a long look.“I’m not a child, Amber.”Amber scoffed softly.“I

    My smile faded a little, I looked down briefly before shaking my head.“Not yet.”Monica studied my face carefully, like she was trying to decide whether to ask more questions or let me breathe first.Amber stepped closer and placed a hand on my shoulder.“This is only for a few days,” she said again,It just didn’t feel right that she kept repeating it as though she felt guilty “I just need to make sure things with Liam cool down. Once I know he has calmed down, you’ll come right back.”I nodded, but I still didn’t feel any better A few days.That was what everyone kept saying.But when your entire life is in one place, even a few days can feel like forever plus she has said it a thousand times and I still felt the same .Maltilda stepped forward and squeezed my hand.“I’ll let your friends know what happened.”That reminded me of the letters I had tucked carefully inside my bag.“Oh.”I bent down, unzipped the front pocket and pulled out the three envelopes.My fingers lingered on

    Nightfall was already approaching, and Lily was still nowhere to be found. She had promised to return before nightfall. Amber was seated outside, waiting for her. “Should I go over to the house?” Amber said, pacing around the front yard. She had been counting down to when Lily would walk in. Amb

    “What did you just say to me?”Amber stepped away from me, but I grabbed her hand, my lips trembling.“What did you just say to me?” I repeated, my voice demanding answers while my brain refused to process what I had just heard.“How did I give birth to someone so stupid,” she repeated, yanking her

    Rex just stared at me. His lips parted slightly, like he wanted to say something, but no words came out.“Just leave me alone… please,” I pleaded. My voice sounded painfully weak, even though I tried to steady it.“You should go back inside. You don’t look so good.” He reached for my hand.I pushed

    Still, she didn’t say anything.I was slowly losing my patience, and the silence was killing me. I just wished she would talk , shout, cry, scold me anything but sit there like that.“Okay…”That was all she said.All that waiting just for her to say…“Okay?” I mumbled.She nodded.“It’s not like
