"Know them? Know them as in...?" Liza trailed off.
Axil's excited eyes glanced up at us, "these are my people. I remember them as if it was just yesterday! That's Lizzy and Danny, Justin. Lizzy and Justin were mates. We all used to hang out with each other when we were pups and h-"
"Wait wait wait," I interrupted, my mind trying to keep up with all the confusing pieces of information, "so the founders of this human settlement were all werewolves? How the hell does that work?"
Axil furrowed his brows as he considered my question, "I can't understand why they would create a human settlement either and if they did, what happened back then and why weren't they turned to stone as well?"
"Maybe they betrayed you?" I voiced.
Axil shook his head, "they would never. I know them like I would my own siblings, they'd never betray our pack."
"So, what if this is still a werewolf territory but the werewolves are being kept hidden away somewhere?" Li
I groaned as my eyes blinked open against the bright light that shone in my face.My brows furrowed in confusion as I shielded my gaze, only for the light to move away from my face.I squinted up at the source."...."It wa
The deputy officer's face was a mask of indifference as his eyes scanned the entire room. What was most shocking was his striking resemblance to Axil....I glanced up at Axil's face to see his wide eyes staring at the man in disbelief. His hand twitched slightly in mine, as if wanting to move. I squeezed his hand reassuringly and pulled him closer against me, letting him know that this wasn't the time or place to act reckless."The mayor has a death penalty out against the Franchild sisters. Until we find their bodies, no
"Mmm." I mumbled nonsense beneath my breath as my body unconsciously shifted on the hard dirty ground.Pebbles and dirt rubbed roughly against my skin, causing my face to scrunch up in annoyance.My eyes fluttered open reluctantly, greeting the dark clearing I was laying in.The fire that we started was close to burning out and Liza and I were sprawled out beside it without a c
"That bitch!" The maid squealed in surprise as a vase flew pass her head and smashed against the sky-blue walls. Her little body trembled in fear as she nervously stood to the side and waited, her hands folded behind her back. The raging woman turned her vengeful gaze towards the maid. "How long do I have before he gets here?" "T_ twenty more minutes ma'am," came the maid's stuttered response. The woman then began to pace the length of the room as she muttered curses upon curses beneath her breath. Her blue eyes were occasionally shifting towards the door to her room anxiously. Her black hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Her friend, who sat in the armchair lazily, glanced up from her phone with a frown, "Tiana, you're going to burn a hole into the door if you don't stop that." Tiana threw up her hands in frustration and turned to her silver haired friend, "what am I supposed to do then!? That witch bitch went and freed the
This again... I stared at the black canvas before me as many tiny specs began to appear. As I stood there, refusing to at least try to run away like the last time, I watched as those tiny specs began to expand slowly into bright, purple stars, glittering all around me. It was a beautiful sight... and if I was really interested in astrology then I would have wanted to capture this moment by taking a picture. Beneath me, I could see even more stars as I stood on nothing but air. It was like the universe called to me... urging me to see what I was meant to see. Last time though, I only saw the neighbour’s kid. Which wasn't much help since I couldn't determine whether it was past, present, or future. Why were these visions even coming to me now at a time like this? What was I supposed to see? I placed my hands on my hip as I blinked at the stars before me. "What the hell do you want from me?" No response was heard. Everything was e
"So, here's what I figured out," I made surethatI'vegained both of theirattentionbefore continuing, "The beasts within all werewolves of Sylia are being suppressed by Tianna. We've already kind of figured out that much but I've figured out exactly howit'sbeingdone and the spells that are being used.""What's going on then?"Liza asked."Double edged spells, meaning spells that coul
"What are you doing?" Liza asked from behind me.I ignored her question and continued to search the clearing for something sharp and jagged. There was no time to waste. The quicker we accomplished this the better.I spotted a seashell across from me and hurriedly picked it up, rubbing my fingers across its edges to test it's strength and sharpness. It seemed sharp enough.Hopef
"Ten minutes sure feels like ten hours... and I'm hungry as hell, my back feels sore, and I feel like I've been baked in mud. When is this going to be over!? I wanna cry, look at me," Liza rambled on and on as we walked through the forest, "how are we even going to know when they're ready?"I glanced over at her as I ducked under a tree branch, "they're demons, trust me we'd know.""Speaking of, are you sure that was a wise idea, summoning them? Like wasn't there an easier option?"
