Ever since Jay walked out on me, all I've ever done is practice. His words sparked something in me, something that has refused to go out. Now every time I punch the air when I'm training alone all I see is his red face and his wide eyes. His veins throb as he rips his gloves from his hands.The stutter in his voice as he was about to tell me something but stopped. Every single detail only got me angrier and angrier. Today, I had woken up earlier than everyone else and had gone to the same place Jay had had sex with me before Lizzy caught us. I had done a backflip when I heard a ringing noise from my bag and went to check it out. It came from my phone. The caller ID was 'Mom'. ***** "Mom, I'm fine", I say to the phone gushing with every word. For the first time in 2 weeks, my mom had called, asking me about my whereabouts and when I would come back home. If only I could tell her the truth and get this off my chest. I ign
I see Blade's eyes go wide as he mutters, 'Shit' and steps back. I must be fully turned by now."Are you from the Adolpha pack?", he asked while he pockets his knife and brings out a dagger. Before he could think of what to do, I lunged forward and clawed his chest. He tries to dodge but it's too late, I felt my claws brush the skin. In a way, I felt proud; of my first fight as a werewolf. He presses his palms on his fresh scars. As he cups the blood in his shaking hands, he falls to the ground. I jump on top of his chest and growl in his face. His knife had dropped a few centimeters from his hand, he tried to reach out to it."Don't even think about it", I say surprised by how deep my voice sounds. I dig my claws into his hands and he lets out a groan of pain."You win", Blade whispers."Don't kill me".He's weaker than I thought. He's not even a werewolf: all bark and no bite. I place a paw on his throat, allowing my claws to sink into it."Why should I? You wanted a fight and I'm givi
****The shirtless dark-haired boy looked at me with pity and used his feet to tilt my head to the right. When he does, I can see him through one of my eyes. He laughs at the anger in them."You poor weak girl. You had no idea who you were dealing with", he says and then proceeds to lift his head to the sky and let out a maniacal laugh that shakes his whole body."Are you some kind of messed up avatar?", I hiss and spit at his feet. The spit doesn't touch him.He bends his knees so he can take a proper look at me. Then he uses one of his hands to pull my head up with my hair. When our faces are level, I spit at him again. This time it lands on his cheek. I expect him to go off on me but he wipes it off casually instead. "Guess we'll never know", he says and grips my hair harder. I squint my eyes in pain and kiss my teeth. He brings his other hand to my face and everything goes dark.****I gave the air one final punch and took a 5-minute break.I had stayed bedridden for about 3 days
"..and when I woke up,I couldn't remember how I got home" I had finished explaining what happened three days earlier. At my final sentence, Sharon hissed at the ceiling them held her face in her hands."They're onto us", she says in a muffled voice."It's either we attack now or never!".Spence,who had hardly been listening,sat up at her comment."We're not ready",he says."I've already thought of a plan killing them off one-by-one-" "And what happens when they notice that they're reducing in number?.You think they won't launch a full-on attack when they realize even one of them is missing?",Sharon shoots back, maintaining eye contact with Spence the whole time.Afterwards, Spence doesn't say a word and folds his hands muttering to himself the whole time. "They've already begun.We need to fight fire with fire",Sharon adds. "But how?",I dare to say.After Sharon's comeback at Spence,nobody has dared to say a word.But what Sharon was implying was that we use powers we didn't have. "Whoever
I and Lizzy look at each other,then the door.We hold our breath,waiting for Andrea to walk away but she doesn't.She knocks again."I know you're in there"I give Lizzy a warning look and she raises her hands in mock surrender.She tiptoes to the door."The mark is really light yet visible at the same time.It's gonna take a while-",Lizzy says."Yeah,right.I can hear Camilla moaning from the living room",Andrea interrupts in a very matter-of-fact voice.I froze at her statemnt.From the living room?."It's probably only me that can though.Spence and Sharon are having a fight",Andrea adds and now that she says it,I hear the sound of glass breaking and someone screaming,'Fuck you'."So what do you want?",Lizzy asks annoyed.I hear more screams.There's a short silence and then a small scratching noise."You know what I want",Andrea whispers to the door."That's disgusting,Andrea",Lizzy says."It doesn't have to be with both of you",Andrea says in an even lower whisper.I don't support the i
"Were you a nail tech before you became part of the pack?",I ask when Spence leaves.I had held his fist the whole time and when Lizzy was done,he got up immediately and left the room.So much for caring."How did you know?",she says as she draws on a French curve on one of my toenails."Tell me more about it".Lizzy was a nail tech before she had decided to quit her job and join the pack.She had a boyfriend,whom she didn't know was a werewolf.Long story short,they had a spicy night and instead of giving her a hickey,he gave her a bite instead."What was his name?"Her hand freezes."Todd",she says and goes back to painting my nails."I'm sorry about that""It's fine.W take turns going into the city and buying supplies .Maybe one day you'll follow me"."That'd be great.Can I visit my mom too?".I thought she'd object so I waited for a strict reply."I don't see why not.You've trained so hard and can obviously control yourself"******Turns out it was Lizzy's turn to go get the groceries t
The ride back home was silent. I pondered about the moonstone as I ran my fingers through the fur on my hands which were slowly spreading to my shoulder and then my chest. Lizzy would glance at me and then speed up when she saw how thick my fur was getting. I looked at myself from the rearview mirror. I had started to grow ears at the top of my head and my nose was turning into a snout. My canines were growing long and sharp and my mouth was too small for it so it pierced my jaw. I had to keep my mouth open for the rest of the journey. By the time we got back, the lower half of my body was covered in fur and I had started to howl. Immediately Lizzy parks the car, I get out of the car and run back to the house. For a moment, I thought I'd get lost but the more turns I take, the closer the house gets. As I run, I notice the fur on my hands disappear and my voice returns to normal. All the other unusually large parts of me also return to normal. She was right about the moonstone."What
4 years earlier Yanni's POV It isn't exactly pleasant to wake up to darkness. You're already waking out of it only to meet it again. I open my mouth to scream but all that comes out is a small squeak. I move my hands and legs but they're limp and my body feels like it's burning up. Maybe I would just die here or I was already dead.A flash of light illuminates a tree that had been next to me the whole time. I was outside.I was alive.I move my legs and hands vigorously, trying to get the attention of whoever has the light. I throw in some squeaks too and include moving my head about,although it hurt so bad.I groan in pain.The ray of light gets brighter and is accompanied by a pair of approaching footsteps. But I was so exhausted. "What is it?" "It's a girl. I think she's dead" I wanted to scream that I wasn't dead. I was very much alive and needed help and the attention of a doctor.But I remember how much I wanted this.To die.I use the last of my strength to give a final squeak
