VALKYRIEIt was her will to live as a human that could bring her back. To be able to control the curse that was bestowed on our ancestors and to their descendants, one should have the willpower to accept their fate and use this curse itself to flourish. But how Sage would be able to do that if she had no idea what she was exactly? All her life she thought she was an ordinary human but that was a lie that was forced into her. Aside from that, she had to face the fact that her biological mother was the one who put her in danger and would be on trial next week for the crime she had committed.Speaking of that trial, an elder must be in presence. So my grandfather would surely come into town tomorrow for my father's funeral as well. But as of this moment, I didn't want to think about him even though I wanted to confront him about Aunt Aria. My priority right now was my mate only. On that note, I made sure to inform Flora about her well-being. She was skeptical of us but she didn't have an
VALKYRIEAfter my confrontation with my grandfather, I'd decided to call for help as I was already desperate. Fùck Ingrid's vision! The time was ticking already and my mate would surely die of starvation if I didn't do anything. Standing in the front of the metal door, I raised my hand and touched it with my palm. I could hear her monstrous breath, her intimidating presence inside. She must feel weak as of now for not eating anything yet for an elongated time.I knew that Sage could sense me. She was just lost in the depths of the unknown. This connection we had was my best shot of saving her. Unlike before when she was still human, she wasn't able to connect with me at all. But now that she was in this form, there might be a possibility that she could feel the rhythm of my heart. Although not bonded yet, there was still this spark between us."Sage, will you hear a story?" I murmured, a small smile etched on my lips. Silence spoke back to me but nonetheless, I paced forward and reste
SAGEMy memories was kinda skeptical. All I'd remember was being captured along with Dimitri. Captive by that Sarah and by that murderer, Amelia. Then discovered that the missing teens willingly joined them because of their Alpha's cruelty for their weakness. And that Rebecca arrived in the picture as Sarah kept on claiming that the mark on my wrist was given by Ingrid. Thenceforth, they tried to locate her with some witchcraft and it really fùcking hurt. Moreover, Primrose was also abducted as a vessel and they tried to bring back Aria from the dead with Dimitri as a sacrifice. After that, everything was kinda fuzzy and all I could recall was this bubbling heat, trying to explode out of me. Then all went black.This was all I could provide to the Irvine for now. Somehow, I was turned to their kind——a werewolf. I didn't have any idea if that could be bad thing or not. I felt odd, actually and I wasn't really used to it yet. That Rebecca must have put a curse on me but as I remembered,
SAGEIn the depths of the wood, the sunlight fell on the land of raining leaves. The fresh smell of the nature eased my heart that been hammered by the consequences of the life itself. The rustle of the trees playing with the air, the songs of the bird and the sight of the everything that surrounded us became more prominent with all my senses. My body became lighter that it had ever been as if I was already freed from the gravity."This is the world beyond the human limitation." Val twirled, raising her arms on her sides. "It feels good, right? To be unbound and to be something else."I nodded as I tried to sense myself and I watched as she leaped meters away from me."C'mon, try it!" Val yelled from her spot, waving her hands up.Gulping in anxiousness, I stepped one of my foot behind to arrange myself for a long jump. Then I gathered all my strength on my legs and released it once I jumped. When I sprang into the air, I lifted my arms up and felt the wind gushing against my face bef
SAGEAs soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, Val and I set off so that I could finally go home. As much as I would like to stay with my mate all the time, I had my parents to consider——my two mothers who built me up and loved me unconditionally with their undying perseverance. To be honest, I already missed everything about them. Even if I was just absent for only almost a week, it felt like a year had passed without me seeing them. Once I get home, I would surely request for my Ma's cooking and of course, tomorrow would be Sunday so it was gonna be our bonding time.Val was driving on our way back home while I looked out the window with an excited smile stamped on my face. I wondered when the first snow would fall because I couldn't wait to see everything in white. Winter was my favorite season of the year as I was always fascinated by the magical looks of the nature. Not to mention, the holidays and all the joyous gatherings. I may have change physically and in spirit but I was
SAGEAfter Val had tried to convince me to talk to Sarah, she took me out of the front wing of the manor and we began to walk hand in hand. We ran with a few of their helpers and they greeted us with respect while I made sure to smile at them in return. They were going to be my family soon once my mate and I unite under the full moon. Speaking of that ritual, I wondered how would it feel like to be linked with my girlfriend. She'd mention the effects along with it but I wouldn't able to understand it if I wasn't experiencing it in firsthand. Well, I guess we'd cross that bridge once we come to it."How does your ranking works anyway?" I questioned, trying to put my mind away from inevitable meeting with my biological mother.Val looked at me amused. "Ranks doesn't matter to us anyway. We treat each other as family here. But to answer your question, the main family ranges from Alpha and her Luna, their children as Beta. Relatives and their mate counterpart ranked as Deltas which is eit
SAGELater that evening, we all gathered in the main barracks for the trial. I was sitting next to my girlfriend, absorbing the eerie atmosphere of the place. The sun had already slipped behind the world as the night flourished above us. The fire torches were stacked down on the ground, around the stone pedestal at the center of the area. The crowd was becoming thick with all the members of the pack, flocking at each other."You should probably go home now. Your parents might be looking for you already," Val murmured in my ear, hugging me closer, rubbing my arm soothingly."No, I've already informed them that I'll be home as soon as this trial ends.""Are you sure about this?" she asked, her tone filled with concern.Well, after that confrontation with Sarah a while ago, I'd be asking myself if I was fine with this too. Not that I was concern about her but she was still the woman who pushed me out of this world. I was a little bit grateful for that because despite all the chaos I went
SAGESchool was kinda boring but I actually preferred this than to see death everywhere. The whole morning classes was about focusing on the lecture at hand, unintentionally listening to gossips and being able to detect emotions through smell among others. It was quite hard to adjust at something that was just suddenly thrown at you but I had no choice. Maybe there was a way that I could turn this off. Esther had mentioned yesterday that I could control it. I gotta asked Val later then.Speaking of my mate, I wondered how she was coping up after everything. Grief is a process and it's one thing you can't control anyway. Maybe I should distract her mind away from those thoughts as her girlfriend, if that's going to be a good idea. Or maybe I should let her get through it?As I sauntered through the school hallway once the bell rang for lunch, I saw Primrose from a distance, laughing with her minions. As if she could feel my gaze, her eyes shifted at me while her minions followed her ga
