Amaya. I thought I would never hear you talk of that name," said an unfamiliar voice to Mercedes. Alexa turned to see Isadora. The head of the Academy and her nemesis. " Did your elders never teach you that eavesdropping is impolite?" Alexa asked snidely glaring at Isadora who was just smirking. " Forgive my impoliteness, dear Alexa. It was at all my intention." " Alright. Don't mind me and my friend here. Move along." Mercedes just stood there not understanding the hostility between them. Alexa turned to her and grabbed her hand attempting to get away from Isadora before her mood got spoiled. " Stop being childish Alexa. It's beneath you. For how long are you going to keep up this attitude of yours towards me? We are not young anymore. Besides, you come and go from here so we'll have to see each other like it or not." Alexa was getting infuriated by just hearing her talk. The tension between them goes way back. They were actually the best of friends until Isadora brutally stabbe
After what Alexa said before passing out, Mercedes, Jake, and Crystal made their guesses on what she meant about her blood that can heal. Mercedes had Jake get her a dagger. She stood beside Felix. She looked back and Crystal and Jake both nodded their heads at her. Mercedes took a breath. She held out her palm and sliced through it with the dagger in her hand. She winced feeling pain. The pain quickly subsided. Her blood oozed out and she closed her hand and let the blood drip on Felix's lips. The blood seeped into his mouth. With just that, all of them couldn't determine if the blood was working. The was pin drop silence as all watched to see if Felix would show any reaction to her blood. A few minutes had passed without anything happening. Mercedes was on the verge of losing hope. She looked down and dejected. But then suddenly, Felix bolted up and gasping for air. Everyone gasped in shock seeing this. It was like Felix had been revived from the dead. Jake and Crystal came forwa
Now that Felix was fine, Mercedes felt concerned about the pack members who were injured in the altercation with Drakoen. Now that she knows the power her blood holds, she couldn't just use it to her benefit. She had to help everyone who was hurt because she felt responsible for what happened to them. Drakoen hurt them because of her. It made her heart ache that because of her, everyone she loves and cares about will always be in danger as long as Drakoen lives. " Alexa, I have a question," Mercedes announces catching everyone's attention. " Yes. What is it?" Alexa asks. " Since we found out that my blood can heal, I wanted to know if there are any limits." Alexa looked at her in confusion. " What do you want to do?" " I want to go out and help heal all the injured pack members. It's the least I can do for them," she replied with her voice full of sorrow. Felix grabbed her hand and squeezed it. " It's not your fault my love. It's so thoughtful of you to want to heal them but I
For days, Mercedes was on foot trying to put distance between her and her old town. Every minute and every second counted. She wondered if anyone found out about what happened a few nights ago. If anyone came upon the horrendous scene that will scar the town for good. She knew that they will look for her for questioning but she did not want to be found. Confusion still swarmed her mind and she did not even know what the hell happened that night. Just that she was fighting for her life as two men were dragging her out of the house. Nothing after that. It was cold and she was trying her best to keep warm. Her feet were already numb for walking without resting for a long time but she could afford to take a rest. Not now. Time was of the essence. The problem was that she had nowhere to go and no one in her life. All her life she just had those awful people who supposedly gave her life. They hated her and they made her feel their hatred
Mercedes held her breath when the attention of the 3 werewolves was on her now. She was in the spotlight but she was not afraid. But she was still cautious but deep down she believed that these wolves killing her would be the best thing that would happen to her than living on the run for the rest of her life. Initially, she thought starting a new life would be easy but in a few moments, a realization dawned on her. Like that man chased her, her past would be on her tail, following her everywhere she goes. So she stood her ground. Running was clearly not the solution so she had to face whatever came on her head-on. I mean what could be worse than what she had to face in the past few days till now. The 3 wolves analyzed her but never approached her. They looked much calmer than before and none threatening. Even she could not understand how they were not doing anything but just staring at her. The gush of wind blew and their thick fur moved along with it. Mercedes envied
For the past several months, rogues have been attacking packs but never taking over the lands. It looked like they were in pursuit of something or someone. No one knew anything. The Werewolf Counsel had summoned all Alphas to come together to try and stop the attacks. There were already so many casualties and fallen packs. And if no one stood against those rogues, the werewolf's existence would be under threat. Felix was in his study managing paperwork for his pack's affairs. He was the Alpha of the White Claw Pack and he was responsible for everything that concerned his pack. And now his main aim was to protect all his pack members from the feral rogues. The rogues have attacked many surrounding packs but he managed to save many of them and claim their lands to expand his pack. If the Alphas were not dead, he offered them to remain in their position but he had the ultimate control. Last night an incident happened by the park borders. A human girl was about to be atta
It felt so surreal. Mercedes felt at peace and relaxed for the first time. She was not scared or anxious that anything bad would happen and it was a strange feeling considering how people are at the hospital because of something bad. It had just been 5 days and she was already getting used to the hospital room she was in. Everyone she met treated her well and catered to her everyone's needs no matter how small it seemed. Although she had a feeling that it had something to do with her good and first friend ever, Crystal. Crystal had been a Godsend to her. She came more than necessary to check on her. But she was not complaining. It was like she understood her. She didn't want to be all alone and feel that eerie loneliness again. When Crystal came over she would talk all about her life and how an amazing family she has. Her husband loved her to bits. She even told her she was pregnant with her first child. In all that time she felt like she got to know her completely and tha
Crystal brought Mercedes fresh clothes since her's were torn. They were both silent, trying not to make the situation even worse. Crystal briefed Mercedes on what she had to know because she asked. She was said that her friend was going to leave and never remember. It was probably not a good idea to form an attachment with her. She couldn't help herself. Mercedes was just shy and sweet. Unlike like the females in her pack. Crystal was only treated well by the rest of them because she was mated to a Beta. If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't even be here. Every privilege she gets is because of her mate's status in the pack. Although she is grateful, it is not enough. She wanted people to like her for who she is not who she is with. She doesn't want fake respect or concern like that. With Mercedes, it was different. She didn't know anything about her and she liked her for her personality and character. In that short time, they established a solid bond that would soon break.
