“What the fuck is wrong with your face?” Was the first question that escaped my lips as I ran into Liza outside my hospital door. Her lips were pulled into a wide ass smile that almost touched her excitement filled eyes.
“Bitch…” Liza squealed as she hurriedly grabbed my hand and pulled me inside my room, slamming the door shut behind us.
I was shook harshly as her claw like grip tightened around my arms, her hawk like eyes searching my face for something, anything that could give me away.
“What the fuck?” I exclaimed in surprise, “what’s your problem?”
She leaned closer to me and sniffed my clothing before stepping back with an amused look on her face. She pointed at the bathroom door to our left.
“Walk towards that door let me see you,” she demanded.
I frowned at her behavior, “are you on something? Why would I listen to you?”
Her eyes sparkled as she ignored my words, muttering to herself, “I wonder if I can tell from how sh
A yelp escaped my lips as a sharp pain collided with my little legs, causing me to fall back on my butt with an oomph! My leg throbbed as I reached forward to rub at the area, a frown blanketing my face. “That hurts,” I muttered begrudgingly. “Ezmira,” a stern voice sounded out as I struggled to get back up on my aching feet. I glanced lazily over at the woman in question. Mother. My mother stood at the side of the training grounds with her hands folded neatly in front of her, her cold, indifferent eyes boring a hole deep into my small nine-year-old frame as my sister, Elysia and I stood facing each other. I pursed my lips at her disapproving gaze and huffed, bending my knees slightly and bracing my arms out in front of me in preparation for the next attack. Elysia smiled at me slightly with apologetic eyes, “I’m sorry.” I shook my head, “don’t apologize. Let’s go again.” I approached her steadily and swung out
Unknown POV Memories are a funny thing. Sometimes they make you happy, other times they make you angry and there are even ones that makes you cry. It’s easy for some memories to get blurred to the point where they resemble dreams and it’s easy for dreams to get blurred to the point where you can’t tell whether it’s a memory or something your brain conjured to trick you. I sometimes longed for those rare dreamless nights where my mind would completely shut off on me and leave me drowning in pure darkness. It was peaceful that way. The images of my family, friends and neighbors burning alive were imprinted into my mind since I got to earth that dreadful day. Nothing was going in my favor. That very same night, I could remember vividly what had happened. A cough racked my body as the fumes that circulated in the air got thicker, heat bouncing off the once serene scenery of towering crystal buildings. Screams were echoing loudly in the air as figures r
I spent the rest two days in the hospital doing absolutely nothing. Since I was 'recuperating', I decided to use it to my advantage to laze around and read stories all day without any interruptions. I knew that after I got out of the hospital, things wouldn't be the same again, and I'd probably have to get insanely busy from now on. This meant less time for me, which meant less time to read, which means less time to do absolutely nothing. I mentally sighed. It sounded like torture. Liza visited my room often but left after being ignored by me every single time. From what I heard, little Bea and her had become the best of friends. I was never good with kids, so I haven't managed to get close with the little rug rat yet. Liza said it was mostly because I ignored kids instead of giving them the attention they needed, but I don't see what's so wrong about that. It ain't my kid; my attention was needed elsewhere. Axil had also stopped by once befor
Abel's house was a dark blue two-story home with a nicely fenced yard and a cute patio out front. As Axil lead me into the house, I gazed around at the people who were busy scurrying around the area, confused. "Why are there so many people at his place?" Axil followed my gaze and shrugged, walking pass those people who bowed their heads slightly as he passed, before burning curious holes into my face. "Abel's a busy man. The pack looks to him for guidance since he was the one who remained connected to this while they were beneath the stone." I asked hesitantly, "but aren't you the Alpha?" Axil hummed, "I am but I have my own problems to take care of. Sharing the load with Abel takes the pressure off me and neither of us mind it." I nodded my head in understanding and listened as he showed me the house and familiarized myself with the rooms. It was stupid of me to assume they'd have a bad relationship just because of the years they've spent away fro
What the hell? I waved a hand at the door, unlocking it and watching as it was pushed open by a very angry Liza. I gazed at her in confusion. "What happened?" Liza bristled as she began pacing the entire office, mumbling furiously under her breath. "Liza?" I asked. She suddenly stopped and turned to Axil, pointing her finger at him accusingly, "Why are you wolves so infuriating!?" Axil raised an amused eyebrow at her, seeming as though he knew why she was bristling, but he didn't say a word. Liza began pacing again. I frowned and narrowed my eyes at the grumbling woman, "Ayo, Patrick." She turned to glare at me, "Who're you calling Patrick, Garfield?" "You gonna tell me why you pacing or you finna let me kick you out so I can get back to work?" Liza snorted, "I doubt you did much work." "I did more than you have!" "Whatever. I'm upset! Bea is adorable and all, and I love hanging out with her, but her father is a c
The meeting today was being held in the town's square. That was the only area large enough to hold thousands of people and so we made sure to organize the event carefully, placing a barricade around the square and taking count of everyone who entered through the gates. We had the cops patrolling the area and keeping things in order as many people began to filter in and out, waiting for the meeting to start. The air was ripe with chatter as I awkwardly stood upon the small podium with Axil, Abel, Liza, Dawson, and a few others. Axil and Abel were conversing with a muscular man that stood tall like a giant, towering over even their 7-foot height. When I had first met him, I was so startled I almost stumbled on my face. The dude looked like a bald head version of the hulk. Maybe that was an exaggeration. A bodybuilder would be a better description. I thought Abel was ripped but then this guy probably soaked every inch of his body in muscles. It made me wonder h
Another 10 minutes passed before Axil's voice sounded out. "Let's begin," he said, his voice firm as he and Abel finally turned towards the people below us. Although his voice wasn't loud, with their supernatural hearing, it scattered over every inch of the clearing and caused all the chatter to slowly fade as everyone diverted their attention to us. Axil then began his speech: "A lot has changed. Some of you found out that you were wolves; some regained their memories of being a werewolf, some realized this wasn't originally a human settlement while the others were finally freed from Tiana's curse. These past few weeks have been chaotic for everyone, and we've tried our best to accommodate your needs and to help you settle into this new reality that you've found yourselves thrust into. By now, I'm sure many of you have had your questions answered and have been informed of what happened to us in the past that brought us here today, fractured and barely hanging on, but
Did I hear that right?"Excuse me?" I asked.The woman glanced at Axil and then back at me with anger filled eyes as she continued, "How can we trust your bond with our Alpha? We were literally just told you witches can take possession of another person's body."I snorted and crossed my arms. Her blatant hostility was showing, and I wasn't the one to simply take that laying down."That spell is forbidden amongst our kind. What Tiana's husband did was basically overextending his life. He will suffer from the consequences when the time comes. Not only that, but Tiana and her husband are both dark witches while I am not. Don't be stupid; a bond as pure as a soul mate could never be replicated even by magic. It's a gift from a God, not a plaything."Again, she glanced at Axil, "that still doesn't answer how you're qualified for this position."I frowned at her wandering gaze and then shot a glance at Axil curiously. He met my gaze with steady eyes and shook
