Paris, Wynn, Shysie, and Ann were a bit worried when they did not see Jessica in class. Ann kept on looking at Wynn, trying to get his attention. She cannot believe that the love of her life just fell out of love in a blink of an eye. Wynn did not notice Ann; all he could think of was how to break the mate bond with Jessica. The classroom door opened. “Miss Steel, just because it is your birthday, does not mean you get longer breaks,” the Geography teacher said, annoyed-looking over her glasses at Jessica. “Paris, Wynn, and Shysie, please come with me,” Mr. Ondrink pointed at the three students. “And Ann,” Jessica quickly threw in Ann’s name. Ann gave a look of shock at Jessica, not believing that her so-called best friend did just throw her under the bus. Ann wondered if Jessica really does not know that she was a Werewolf and deliberately stole her boyfriend. Ann gave a disgusted look at Jessica and made her way out of the classroom.“You can continue the class. These students a

Ann has eaten halfway through the Chicken lasagne while reading the letter. She felt conflicted over the letter. She did not spend that much time with Paris for him to declare his love for her. ‘This feels strange. How does he even know Shysie compelled me? Says he didn’t know before, but now he does? Weird,’ she thought to herself.Ann put the lid back on the leftovers and left it on the table. She took the letter and picked up her backpack, and made her way up the stairs to her room. She took off her school clothes and put a comfortable tracksuit on. She pulled her chair near the window and looked out at the Aurora lights adorning the dark sky that early Friday afternoon. ‘It felt like just yesterday when she learned that vampires and werewolves are real. She sighed and lay her chin on her folded arms on the windowsill. She just stared at the sky, losing track of time.“Ann, dinner is ready,” she heard her mom call from downstairs. Ann sat up, ‘I did not even hear her car,’ she tho

Dario picked Hanna up. “Everyone grabs a human. We meet at Wainwright.” All the Vampires sped off with a human in their arms. Paris picked up a human but delayed for a moment, looking in the direction of the hunter. Paris was shocked to learn that Ann's father was a hunter. ‘Good thing her mother is not a hunter as that would have made Ann a hunter,’ he thought. “What are you waiting for?” The human in his arms asked worriedly. Without another word, Paris sped off toward Wainwright. Eljo satisfied, starts to walk back towards his house. He notices on every light pole what seems like a dreamcatcher. He inspects one and notices two Snow owl feathers on the dreamcatcher. He recognizes it as Snow owl feathers because last year he helped Ann with an assignment about Snow owls. Eljo brushes his fingers over one of the feathers. When Eljo got near his house, he noticed a couple of wolves running away from his house. He followed them with his eyes and noticed that there were wolves running

She offered her palm again, and he eagerly drank again. Ann felt herself getting intoxicated. The Vampire saw Ann’s life from birth to now. He learned her language and everything she has ever learned. This was such a strange world he has woken up to, he thought to himself. He saw she has been with vampires and frowned at the thought of the Hybrid. Ann was on such a high that she didn’t realize that the Vampire has stopped. He drank too much, and she was near death. The Vampire, now with the knowledge of this modern world he found himself in, picked Ann up and took her to the part of the compound that did not burn down. He laid her down on the bed. He bit his own wrist and held Ann’s head to position her to drink. Ann was not responding. The Vampire was getting worried, understanding now what a Vampire’s promise meant. If she dies, he will burn forever. In his time, there was no such thing as boiling skin from a promise. They simply did as they pleased, and the humans offered them sa

As he watched Jessica sleep, he thought back about the day she was born, and how everything changed that day, from his wife dying and saving Jessica to her own mother being in a state of having just lost her own sister and having to give up her firstborn child to keep her safe from the hands of the council. Mr. Ondrink wondered if the crowned heads ever had more children and if it is known to the council that they have a child. How abruptly they got forced to leave the pack and rule the council as the next in line to represent the Lycan Werewolves. He has so much to tell his niece, that was the split image of his deceased wife. He wondered if his wife were still alive, if they would have had children of their own. Because Mr. Ondrink was not of royal descent, he and his wife did not qualify to represent the Lycan Werewolves at the council and for that he was grateful. Mr. Ondrink looked at the Spirit-wolf still attached to Jessica. The Spirit-Wolf returned his loving gaze, looking at
