"Guys...""What's going on?"Cora asked suspiciously as she stood up quickly and Noah shook his head."It's nothing. It's fine."He murmured and left hastily, leaving Viola startled and all of them shocked."What happened?"Cora asked Viola.Viola didn't understand either. She was still trying to wrap her head around it. She watched Noah walk away from the quadrangle and disappear into the crowd of students on the field."It's not like him to just leave like that. I'll go see if something is wrong."Everett murmured as he stood up, leaving Viola and Cora alone.Cora touched Viola's shoulder gently."Is everything okay? What happened?"She cleared her throat and blinked. She couldn't even explain what happened. She was just as confused as every one else was."Yes, yes. Everything is okay. I just... I don't know...""Was it Noah?"Cora was very concerned.Viola shook her

Nestled in the woodland, in those parts, was a mansion.  It was the pack house, Viola's unofficial home for the past few weeks.It's windows were as shy eyes, large enough to welcome any ray of sun. The rock walls belonged right where it was, as if perchance it had grown up right from that hallowed ground. It was as if it had been called into existence to protect those who came to dwell within, to quell the elements and allow a heat to build from hearths into the inhaled woodland air.She found it beautiful, the structure was old but somehow it was still perfectly modern. Sure, it wasn't something she would have seen in New York or any other state in the country but it was better looking than she had thought.She sighed as she walked into the pack house. Scratching her belly that was itching from the clothes she had picked up in one of the tree trunk. She had been made to run. Freya unfortunately didn't bring her horse and they had to run to the pack.

Viola's eyes opened like two flashlight beams, they were bright and alert. It was like being shown the woods one tree at a time in some crazy memory game, but it was better than the blackness.She stirred in panic. She could barely remember anything, only bits and fragments.What happened?She thought as she sat up, she was naked. There were bits and pieces of grass and mud stuck to her skin. But that was the least of her worries. Her hands were covered with blood, dirt and mud.The blood alarmed her. She let out a gasp and struggled to stand up.Her mouth felt sticky, the coppery tang of an all familiar taste lingering and her eyes widened as she realised that something bad must have happened.There was blood, blood in her mouth!She thought as she shuddered in panic.She was still in a state of disarray, with the words and thoughts flying through her head chaotically.She looked around the forest again, she didn'

Her father, Alpha Superior Eli said very little to her, only“Go back to the academy. I will talk to you soon.”Viola clutched her own palm, pressing hard thinking about how confused she was. It was terrifying to believe that she had done that. She didn’t understand her powers and didn’t feel like the people around her too.Why didn’t the chains hold her if they said it would?What had gone wrong? Her father, she thought of him and how he failed to console her. She needed an explanation, and not a vague order, but he didn't give anymore than that. Lost in thought, Viola failed to notice Cora who was in the hallway.Cora, always so sharp immediately spotted Viola.“Hey Viola!” She said warmly, walking towards Viola.Viola finally breaks contact with all her fears, she looks up and is relieved to be seeing a friendly, smiling face.“Cora.&r

Each pack had their pack house, a communal property in which all members of a pack were welcomed. The pack houses varied in design, beauty and size. In the earlier eras, it was more about functionality of the pack houses with focus on pragmaticism. It was typical to have a large, round bunch of rocks as some pack houses but the Ortus Solis pack house was truly an architectural masterpiece.The pack house was the biggest one, but it did not compromise on style. The house had over 150 rooms, each uniquely designed. The floors made of marbles, and thanks to Rosalina who managed the house neatly. Pack members could see reflections of themselves looking at the floor.In the Alpha room, Alpha superior Eli sat. He was thinking about the incoming Alpha Convention. Alpha Superior Eli was a handsome man, his skin showed little wear and tear but beneath it all. He was almost as handsome as he was in his younger days. Even with his slowed aging due to his strong
