“Let me get this straight, Lily,” Clayton commented calmly, an hour after when he arrived at the pack house to meet with her and Liam. “It’s either the wolf less child spoken in the prophecy is going to be sixty-one this year or twenty-one years old, right?”
“Yes. According to the elders that I spoke to, the wolf less child has already been born,” Lily answered calmly as she looked down at her notes. “If we used the reference of the prophecy, the last years where there was a full moon on the sixteenth of July was the year of 1941 and 2000. My instinct is making me lean towards the twenty-one-year-old. Because of the few excerpts I got on the second part!”
“Born under a full red moon, you will be hard to mark,” she continued softly. “For you shall choose the one for your heart.”
“So?” Liam questioned.
“Ugh! You, guys are so dense!” She complained, rolling her eyes. “Clayton, this wolf less person was born on the sixteenth of July at the year of the Blo
Amarah made sure that she had securely locked the door to her apartment before heading towards the stairs to go down, early the following day. She looked towards Matt’s apartment unit and silently guessed that he must still be asleep, considering he had taken a double shift since Jacklyn had not come back yet.She went down the stairs carefully and pushed the glass door open, stepping out into the sidewalk and looked around her surroundings, where her neighbors are also starting on their day.“Good morning, Mr. Monroe!” She greeted with a wave at their cranky-old neighbor, Monroe Williams, who lives right across the street from their building, getting his paper from the mail. “It’s nice to see you here again!”“Get on with your day, lady,” Monroe grumbled, slamming his mailbox shut.Amarah smiled, shaking her head at his early crankiness.She looked at her watch and saw that she has more than an hour
Clayton sat on the couch in the apartment unit that Gloria had shown him a few hours later, deep in his thoughts over the conversation he had with her. After bidding goodbye to Amarah, he walked out of the clinic behind Gloria Archer, following her quietly for a long while.“The unit has been arranged to your specifications,” Gloria said seriously when they finally stopped in front of the apartment building that she owns. “Matt had the all the utilities check and they’re working in good condition.”“Did I hear the name of her father correctly?” Clayton asked instead.Gloria looked up at him, her eyes revealing nothing.“Yes. Her father’s name is Gavin Saville,” she said. She took something from her purse and produced a set of keys, handing them to him. “Here are your keys, Mr. Langston. I believe that my obligation to you has been met.”“No,” he responded with
Gavin Saville stopped on his tracks the moment he saw the welcoming sign that leads towards his home. He looked around the surroundings of the place he calls home ever since and a watched as his pack members went on with their daily activities. The members, the few numbers left, he had taken care of for the past fifty years and will eventually passed on the responsibility to his son, Nicholas.A somber smile appeared on his face at the thought of his son. Nicholas, who eventually will inherit the long-time predicament that the Saville family has been facing ever since his great-uncle Dimitri Saville incurred the wrath of the Moon Goddess.Because of Dimitri’s obsession that pack members with no wolves should be banished or become slaves, regardless of the status of the family, he had received the end of backlash and anger from other packs in the wolf-dom. Even the Lycan royal family, where they are related by marriage bonds had distanced themselves after that pro
The sky above is dark, almost pitch black due to the absence of the stars and moon as Amarah walked towards her home after closing the clinic. She could barely see the flicker of the lights from the lamp posts ahead of her due to the thick fog that is surrounding her.Clutching the umbrella, she had brought with her since she thought it will rain, she kept it ready as a weapon in case something will happen to her.“You should have called Matt to fetch you,” she scolded herself as she crossed the road hurriedly.However, the moment, she stepped on the sidewalk, everything around her had immediately vanish and only darkness could be seen surrounding her. She stood cold, clutching her umbrella tightly as she looked around her.“Hello?” She called out, her voice cracking.Amarah didn’t hear any respond. She took out her phone to dial Matt’s number and groaned when her
Clayton stood by the sidewalk outside the clinic and watched as Amarah unlocked the door to enter and turned over the open sign. It’s a bright and sunny Monday morning, and he observed that she still looks rattled from the nightmare she had several hours ago.Amarah, he noted, seemed to have never gotten whatever she saw in her dream out of her mind.“Are you coming inside?” She asked softly, looking at him expectantly. “Tracy will go head over heels when she sees you.”He shook his head slightly.“I have to be in a meeting in thirty minutes over some discussion on construction supplies,” he answered, lying through his teeth. He gave her an assured smile when she looked a little bit anxious. “I’ll come back after the meeting, and we can have lunch.”She nodded.“Amarah?” Clayton called out and waited for her to look at him directly. “Just so you know, in any case y
Amarah waited for Clayton that afternoon after telling her when they had lunch that he will fetch her so they can go home together. She looked at her reflection on the mirror and gently patted her hair down to keep it in place.She couldn’t explain it well, the feeling she’s having whenever she is near his presence.She knew that she should hate him, just a little bit longer for whatever he did to her. But, when Amarah tried thinking back to that day where he had kissed her without asking permission, she felt her insides melting. Clayton’s kiss had taken her by surprise, overpowering her senses that she remembered just standing there, immobile. His lips plundered hers in a deep kiss, feeling his mouth molding into hers, attacking her but gently.She raised a hand to her lips, briefly touched it and shook her head at whatever thoughts had gone inside her head.“You really should do something about your hair, Arah,” Tracy piped
Clayton looked up from the report the following day, that Liam had Lily take with her when she finally departed from their pack territory to pursue him at human territory. The report contained all the works he had left behind as well as the security reports that he noted has been rampant with the rogues behind all of it. “Everyone back at the pack all good?” He had asked after opening the door when Lily knocked on his apartment. “Did you bring what I asked you?” Lily nodded as she closed the door and placed her bag on the floor. She looked around the unit. familiaring herself with the orientation. “Also did some scouting around the neighborhood,” she answered as she took a seat on the couch. “This seems to be a safe environment. There are other wolves here, too if I may add. Perhaps rogues, who took on a different path? I admire their courage for choosing that course instead of being nuisances in ours as well as on other packs.” “Most here had no wolv
Amarah smiled thankfully at the baker after receiving her change late that afternoon. She then put them in her bag and accepted the box of pastries she chose from the glass display in front of her. She took a piece of blueberry Danish and took a bite, smiling as its sweetness.Her thoughts then drifted to Clayton as she went out from the store and starred walking back home. She starts to recall the man, who projects a manly charisma combined with an elegant flair of arrogance. Who would have thought that this type of a man will have a weakness for sweets?She smiled in amusement as she remembered that when she told him that she wants to have some dessert at the bakery near the apartment building, she saw his eyes lit up. Clayton ordered a piece of most of the display of pastries at the glass showcase.It’s been around two weeks since Clayton had arrived and occupied a unit at the back of the ground floor of the building. He made sure that he gets to droppe
